Claain, of New York. Through them they
will once more be able to take their places

amassed handsome fortunes, making and
maintaining during that time the good name
which in their hours of misfortune has proven
a greater capital in itself. Their career has
been a very honorable one, and We conf

would be classed as Bourbon by Northern
Republicans, remarked recently that he
"would favor a thorough localizing OF State
jurisdictions and confer the entire main
business, civil sud criminal, on the Federal
Judiciary" and the Times adds: THE time

coming either, when the laws affecting the
lie, liberty, property and reputation OF the
citizen will be uniform over this broad land,
and he enforced by one set or system oil
courts answerable alone to the people and to
Congress for their administration Of justice"

GENERAL GILMORE has favorab!y pre-
scented to the committees of the Senate and
House the question of entirely cutting off
Red river from the Mississippi, except for
purposes of navigation, through locks, and
that the Atchyafalaya be made the continu-
alton of Red river. He thinks it feasible to
do this, and that it will relieve the Mis-is-
sippi about sixteen per cent, and thus en-
able it to carry off the water during over
flows much quicker.

r1I1RrY.FouR BREAKS ARE REPORTED

TIIIRTY-FoUR BREAKS ARE REPORTED
between Pushmatska and the lower end Of
Bolivar county, while from there to the
lower end of Warren county the levees are
intact, or SO nearly SO, as to make the needed
repairs inexpensive. The breaks are nearly
all in light work, the exceptions being at
Riverton and Lake Beulah. 1t is thought
same of the breaks are even less in extent
than reported, the correctness of which can
not be ascertained until the water further
declines.
WHAT LoUIsIAssS HAS LOST
in broken levess is difiicult to ascertain.
Many breaks are reported, but the extent of
the works in which they occurred is not given
The most serious are probably in East
Carroll, Madison and Tensas parishes, which
all suffer from the food which pours down
from Arkansas in the lagoons and bayous in
their rear.
A DETAILED STATEMENT
of the condition of the levees on both sides
of the river will be given so soon as cor
rect data can be obtained, for which purpose
preparations are now on foot.
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE NOR STATE AID
will ever be adequate to the protection OF
the vast agricultural interests embraced-the
rich productive region now every season
liable to ravages from overflow. The national
government, after deciding upon some we'll
matured general plans OF improvement OF
the river and protection OF riparian planters,
must find the money wherewith TO carry them
out, even should il be thought expedient to
levy tax TO pay Indefinitely the cost of the
scheme. Any plan which has a chance of
success will require a vast Gum OF money, and
it cannot be had from the States lying on the
river, nor from the people who will reap ap-
parently the most benefits in the premises,
for the simple reason their resources will not
afford it.
