The exodus Is working both ways In
this parish. About as many colored
people come within our lines as go out.
The Kansas flood has never, at any
time, amounted to much, and those
who have gone to the land Of Beecher's
bibles can we'll be spared. They are
thrifty of there, no doubt, and will
make happy, contented citizens. But
they will all 6e glad to get back when
rations fail, as we are sure they will,
and to place themselves under the pro-
lection of the old rebels. 1t will be a
chance throw, however, if many Of
the number gone to Kansas ever re-
turn to anything but graves in the pot.

believe that Heron would make a

OPENING BAYOU MANCHAC.

Under the above caption the New
Orleans Times is advocating the pro-
ject OF opening Bayou Manchac at the
lower boundary of this parish. The
Times pictures in glowing terms the
good that will result to New Orleans
in sanitary and other points of view,
but the theory of the Times needs
something more than bare assertion to
prove all that it claims. The Times
thinks it would be good thing, any
way, to open the Manchac and thus
give an outlet to the Mississippi floods !;
but the Times forgets to consult the
interest of property owners along that
bayou. The opening Of Bayou Man
chac would be just as injurious in one
sense as it would be beneficial in an
other.-Baton Rouge 4drocatc.

REMARKABLE ENGINEERING FEAT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE readers
OF the Gazette may remember an ac-
count of a most extraordinary engi-
neering work undertaken by Cot. Thos.
l.. Casey in connection with the in
sufficient foundation of the Washing
ton Monument. 1t was nothing less
than removing 70 per cent. of the earth
under the old foundation and replacing
it with solid bed of concrete. The
shaft, weighing over II ZOO, 600 pounds,
was found to be resting on rough
foundation of so small surface in pro-
portion to weight that the opening of a
trench only four feet wide and eigh-
teen feet under it caused the monu-
ment to settle perceptibly. In other
words, this enormous mass, with a
base of only sc square feet, Il height of
15G feet, and a weight of 1900, 900
pounds, was barely in equilibrium
upon the soil underneath it. But one
beam after another of concrete has been
put under it, each 134 feet deep, and
extending 10 feet deep within the old
foundation, and % feet beyond it, un-
til 70 per cent. of the soil for l3 feet un-
der the old foundation and feet out
side of it has been replaced with solid
concrete, capable, by actual expert
ment, of supporting, at the end of
seven months and a half, pressure of
155 tons per square foot.
The weight of the structure has been
spread evenly over these immense
beams by a continuous buttress extend
ing from within the base of the shaft
out to the eNtremities of the beams.
The new foundation is two and one
half times the area of the old one, and
the weight of the shaft is evenly dis
tributed over il. The strength thus
secured is ample to secure the stability
aud safety of the structure when car
ried to the contemplated height of
about $50 or $50 feet. 1t is estimated
that the shaft can be completed in the
spring Of 1888.

AFFAIRs IN MAINE.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 2O.-The fail
ure to gain admission to the State
house yesterday has united the Flu
slonists, and they say Gov. Smith has
ten thousand men in readiness to act
alta moments notice, but .he counsel
led peace and peace prevailed. They
also say they intend to appeal to Con-
gress, and will soon have Committee
there to investigate the matter.
When the Republican House met
this morning, Messrs. Hall and Moul-
ton, two Fusion members, appeared
and took their seats. Messrs. Rafter
! and Benner, also Fusion members, had
previously taken the same action. The
House received communication from
Wallace A. White, demanding an in
vestigation of the charges of bribery
made against him by Fusion leaders.
A special committee will be appointed
for that purpose. A resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Hale was adopted to the
effect that the Legislature of the State
has now been legally organized in &C.
cordance with the opinion of the Su-
preme Judicial Court; that Governor
and State officers have been duly elect.
ed, and are now in the performance of
their duties, and that therefore the leg
islature will now proceed to the trans
action of public business, and the Gov
ernor's notice to the people of tho
State that all other bodies claiming to
be the legal Senate and House are act
ing without authority, and in violation
of the Constitution and laws. 1t was
also ordered that the Judiciary Com.
mittee be instructed to inquire whether
any, and if so, what legislation is nec-
essary to prevent and punish unau-
M FNafr mi or 40
records and other State property, as
we'll as the commission of other unau-
thorized acts in the name of the State.
The Fusion House met at 10 a. m. in
Union Hall. Speeches were made by
Representatives Dickey, Bradbury,
Swami, and others, counselling the
members of the House 10 stand firm
for their rights, to recognize no usurp-
ing Legislature, and to sustain the
legal Governor, Smith, to the last.
On motion of Mr.. Dickey, committee
| was appointed to recon- mend course
of action, who were instructed to re-
port at O'Clock to-day, to which hour
the House then adjourned.
The Fusion Senate met in an ante
room of Union Hall, and after an in
terchange of views by members, adj
journed until 4 o'clock. It is said that
the positions of the FusiOnists has
been much strengthened by yester-
days events. The refusal of the Re-
publjcans to admit to the State-house
members like Strickland, Knowles,
| etc., who have an undoubted right to
seats, has strengthened the determi-
nation of the Fusionists to hold, to-
gether, and has led them to take a
more hopeful view OF the situation.

An exchange says: The town of
Iuka, in Tishomingo county has an Or
ganized land company, of which J. J.
Chambers, editor of the Mirror, is
secretary, which proposes to give away
five hundred lots in said town to any
one who will apply. This offer is made
with the intention of inducing immi-
grafton, and increasing the value of
surrounding property. Upon this plan
some of the most tlourishing cities of
the northwest were built up, and this
example might be followed with profit
by many of the land owners in this
section.

A DELAY NOT DANGEROUS.

The little horse sense we have about
us we talked to the General Assembly
last week In reference to the election of
Senator. We then thought, upon
short notice, that the election should
be staved-oE- 1t was precipitated,
and could not be intelligibly decided.
We had not thought about the mat
ter at all. In this business thinking is
the first thing to be done; unless one Is
inspired. We are not inspired, but In
the dark-as hopelessly as the members
Of the General Assembly.
What are we to pass upon? Some
thing we know nothing about. Is this
an emergency? We think 1t is not.
The election of Senator, just now, is
not emergent, evon in a legal sense.
That the late constitutional convention
made a mistake will not be denied,
but the mistake is not past remedy.
We see no reason to proceed precipi-
lately to the correction Of the mistake
made by the trainers of our Constitu-
ton. The election of Senator is no
small matter. 1t requires deliberatfon.
And we are not surprised to learn that
some members of the General Assem-
bly, are in doubt what to do. Nor are
we surprised to see that Senator Mars
ton has introduced a resolution re-
questing Congress to amend the law
requiring the election of Senator to
be proceeded with now. The request
is reasonable, and eminently proper.
We enter into no discussion of the
merits of the gentlemen whose names
have como before the Democratic eau
Gus for Senator. We know both Gov.
McEnery and Gen. Gibson, the promi-
nent candidates before the caucus, and
for both we have strong hopes in the
future. But the duty we owe is not
personal-not to any candidate, or citi-
zen. Their claims are Creative are
not called upon to say which is the
greater. And SO we are not, as we re.
gard the Senatorial question, as between
any ten or fifty prominent Democrats
in the State. That Is question not to
be untimely thrust upon us, If we can
be heard In the cause of representation
and the people.
We insist that the election of u.
s. Senator shall be deferred. If the
State-the people-were to suffer by
the postponement, these type should
be used to condemn the delay, as they
are now used to advocate 1t.

The new constitution Of California
took effect last New Years Day, and
one defect was discovered before it was
half a day old. The code of civil pro-
cedure provides for the issue of mar
riage licenses by the clerk of the coun-
ty court. The new constitution abol-
ishes the county court. If there is no
court there can be no county clerk,
and if no clerk no marriages without
punishment under the penal code of
