The Floods.

The waters are subsiding IN New
Orleans. The submerged districts be-
gin to show a little terra firma. Inc
relief committees are resting from their
labors, and as after hard fought battle
people are beginning to estimate the
extent Of the damages. 1t is too early
yet to give reliable statistics, though
the INJURY has been deep and in some
cases ruinous. The worst effect we
think, is to make property holders IN
some districts distrustful of New Or
leans as place to invest capital. Many
market gardeners have moved from
the city, not willing to expose them
selves to another such season, which
at one fell swoop has destroyed the
prosperity of more fortunate years.
There is no security in place so much
exposed to watery disaster as New Or
leans and so lily protected against it.
No trouble or expense should be thought
too great in providing against the
casualties of another such season.
