AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The subject of the memorial adj
dressed to the General Assembly BY
the Board Of Levee Commissioners OF
the Second District-that Of the dam
age to leyees and danger Of crevasses
caused by defective rice fumes
promises to receive the consideration
which its Importance deserves.
We read in a late issue Of the New
Orleans Daily States that
Col. Henry c. Brown, City Surveyor
Hon. j. H. Behan, Administrator Of Com.
merce, and Col. t. S. Hardee, State En-
House, on the best method to be adopted
to bring about a remedy for the evil com.
planned OF. It is thought by them that
purpose.
The States further says that a bill
will soon be proposed in the General
Assembly to regulate the construction
of rice fumes, requiring them to be
made according TO specifications to
be furnished to the Police jules OF
the varions interested parishes by the
Board of State Engineers.
The prospect is that a season OF
very high water is before rs, and
every possible precaution should be
taken to provide strong leyees to
meet the flood.

A LEGISLATIVE BREEZE.

Quite breeze was caused IN legis-
lative circles at the State Capital,
last week, by the publication in the
Congressional Record at Washington
Of a memorial signed BY the Repnb-
lican members Of our General Assem-
bly,, petitioniDg Congress to retain
Senator Kellogg in his seat, and con-
tanning, in the course Of lengthy
argument, the following paragraphs !:
Had the Republican party been free
from oppression and exempt from fraud
throughout the State in December last,
your memorialists would have been able
to address you officially as the Legisla-
tnre of Louisiana, and not as the power
less minority Of that body, representing
q hundred thousand practically disfran-
chised voters. ' It is perhaps
but logical that men whose occupation
Of q majority Of seats in this Legislature
is solely due to dishonest and undemO-
cratic practices should submit memo
rial in behalf of Senatorial claimant
whose title is as barren as many Of their
own.
The employment Of such language
as this on the part Of their Republican
colleagues created much Indignation
among the Democratic members of
the Assembly, and resolutions were
adopted in House aud Senate declar-
ing the signers Of the Kellogg memo
rial guilty Of contempt and prohibit
ing them from the further exercise Of
their functions as legislators until
such time as they should retract the
offensive language.
All but four or five Of the erring
brethren have complied with this re-
quirement and are again invested with
the privilege of assisting in framing
State laws and drawing 81 per diem
from the treasury. One member de-
clared that he had never signed the
memorial-tbat his name had been
attached thereto by some unauthor-
lied person !; and the others avowed
that they signed the document with
out reading it and we're not aware
that it contained the statements which
reflected 50 severely upon the official
status of their Democratic brethren.
All the recanters disclaimed belief in
or sympathy with these statements.
