Destruction at Carson's.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2 News reaches
here of terrible destruction bv the breaking of
the levee at Carson's landing. After the heavy
rain and wind storm of Tuesday, gap of sew
enty- five feet was first made by the rushing
water, and hundred yards of the levee was
soon swept away. The noise of the roaring
flood soon awoke the sleeping citizens, who,
looking out of their homes. saw the river rap
idly spreading over the country. Without
taking time to clothe themselves, the people
fled for their lives. Ben. Haines, keeper of the
landing, and two negroes were overwhelmed
in the rushing waters. Their cries for help
were heartrending. Many people had narrow
escapes from drowning, In Arkansas City
the water covers the floor of the hotel to a
depth of twenty inches. Many planters are
feeding their hands, fearing the movement to
furnish rations will demoralize the negroes.
Many negroes are anxiously awaiting the
arrival of a boat with government ratlons.
Boats are moving persons and property free,
where the people are too poor to pay for the
service.

out of 10000 applications to the land court,
only 1878 have been decided within the
past three monthss the result baing
1t would take years to adjudicate the entire
number. Meantime tenants whose cases re-
main undecided would be compelled to con-
tinue to pay back rents Sexton concluded by
pointing out that the provisions of the land
act requiring the erection of cottages for lab
Orers had been almost entirely neglected.
Healey favored inquiry into the working of
the land act in London.
Porter, Liberal member for Londonderry,
said the action of the lords was unprecedented.
The government could not be satisfied by the
simple assurance of the committee that it
would not inquire into the Judicial administra-
ton land act. The action of the lords, he
said, was merely for the purpose of laying the
foundation for demand for compensation.
Debate adjourned.

The Attempt to Cover up and Withdraw
the Philadelphia Star Route Cases De-
feated.
PHILADELPHIA, March The following is
Attorney General Brewster's letter to the dis
,trict attorney in the matter Of the application
to mol pros the cases against the star route
frauds: 81 heartily concur in all that has been
done and am pleased with your conduct of
the cases and the case that has characterized
your acts. In regard tothSs statements made
by Boyer, 1 have received a letter from
Cook in connection with Boyer's
statement and I communicated with Mac
Veagh in order to ascertain whether he ever
gave any assurance the government would
stay its hands in these prosecutions, or any of
them. 1 also applied to Col. Bliss, by written
and conclusions upon the whole matter,
most Of which he already had personal
knowledge. MacVeagh and Col. Bliss
have bot. replied to me and Mr..
Boyer has retracted in writing all he asserted
was said to or by Mac Veagh that was material,
MacVeagh positively declining having made
any engagements whatever that would hinder
these prosecutions, and wisely suggests tina.
had there been any such engagement it would
nave UCeu puOflsIOudl, WHOLLY upon
the value of the communication and disclos-
ures made land the use government would make
of them. Bliss is emphatic 10 the same effect,
and likewise denies there are in his posses
sion, or ever has been, facts the government
could use or would use communicated by these
people, or any of them, and denies also there
is any reason of which he knows why these
prosecutions should not be proceeded with
vigorously and promptly. The circumstances
surrounding these cases here and else
where demand there should be
an open and public trial and thorough sift-
ing and exposing of all that has occurred,
no mater who suffers, they cannot be disposed
of in close corner. If the people in these
cases, as it is alleged, were deceived and acted
in good faith, therefore are not guilty, let
them prove it in open court and
they will get a better and more
honorable acquittal, and stand better
before the public, and their own esteem here
after than if they obtained discharge or re-
mission if privately sanctioned by me. I can
never allow private applications to my de-
partment or to my discretion to be used as
superseders for the abolition of judicial in
vestigatlon. As to the continuance of these
cases I leave it wholly with you, having en-
tire confidence in you, for no one has better
record in this department than yourself. If
you think now is the time to try, try and try
with earnestness and zeal, tut if you think
they they ought to be continued, let them
continue for good reasons. There are cases
that cannot be trifed with or DELAYED. Let
everybody know that the government is in
earnest"

on the Republican side on account of the
great confusion. The colloquy between Hew-

of Indiana Democrats during the
war, but was cut short by
Kasson, Iowa, who claimed. the floor, say

All Day Racket.
The case of the State against II. Il. Smith,

conductors arrested on the charge Of embez-
cling funds from the St. Paul, Minneapolis &

present in the interests of the railroad compa-

and the failures to turn it over to the COM
pany.

witnesses were sworn, their testimony relating

Their testimony was almost identical. There
were sworn Xavier Bertrand, Joseph Rock
Legane, Edward Bresseau, Louis Touchette
and Edward Dubois. As several of the wit
nesses did not speak English and as their tes-
timony was substantially the same, the testi-
mony of only two or three witnesses will be
given.
Edwin Brerseau being sworn, testified to
having made trip to Ca5el in company with
three others on January Is. His companion
paid his fare, giving $50 bill and receiving
$14.20 in return; had been instructed by Peter

paid as soon as they got on the train; could
not recognize the conductor Louis Tan

pot or not to be seen; had been directed by
Jerome to pay fare on the train and instructed
to keep separate; had been employed at the
rate of So per day.
Edward Dubois was the next wit
ness. He had made the trip to Cabel on
had paid $5.85 fare each way; paid the money
to Colgrove going up, to Smith on the return
trip; had been directed not to buy ticket;
could not state the reason. At II o'clock q
recess was taken until Q p. IN.
In the afternoon F. B. Whitney and Supt.

the manner of making out and returning the
reports of conductors. The defendant was
held to the district court in the sum of $3.50
He gave bail.
