The ELECTIoN.-In our municipal
election on last Monday, two tickets
were placed in the field, and consider
able interest was manifested by the
voters for their favorite candidates.
Both tickets were made up of demo-
Gratis and republicans, and four of the
candidates were on both tickets.
After the election, something of a
breeze was raised by the alleged dis
covery that two of the parties elected
were not property holders" within
the corporation, as required by the
last amended charter of Incorporation.
This will, it Is claimed, let in the next
two having the most votes, on the OPP

The Superior Spring Bed, advertised
in another column,o by John Dansby,
agent, who is stopping at Bailey's Ho-
tel, is certainly great improvement
towards comfortable sleeping, and
economy in bedding. We have tried
one now for week, and find it every
thing which is claimed for it by the
manufacturers. The twin springs are
made of the finest steel, are easily kept
clean, can be adjusted to any bed, and
saves the use of extra bedding. A set
consists of twenty -four twin springs,
and can be bought for S.. just try
them, if yeu want to be pleased.

The FLOOD.
New Iberia Sugar-Bowl. April G

New Iberia Sugar-Bowl, April 6.
From all directions comes cry for
help-destitution staring many 10 the
face, and but little chance for those af.
Fflicted with its presence to turn from
thegrim visage of the uuwelcome vis-
itor!
Since last Saturday our railroad
communications have been cut off by
the still rising food, and there is no
telling When they will be resumed.
From Terrebonne station to Bayou
Sale, distance of 40 miles, the track
is under water, and the local train runs
between the latter point and Washing
ton only, the track being also under
water between that point aud Aiexan-
dria. The only hope of seeing the
water recede from this section, is, ac.
cordiRg to telegrams a few days ago,
a daily fall of from two to three inches
in, the Atchafaiaya at Churchviile. At
present writing the effects Of that fall
have not been felt here, as the Teche
has been rising daily at he rate of six
inches per twenty four hours, and is
higher than ever was known, being,
according to actual measurement, over
thirteen feet above its ordinary level,
and three feet above tile high water
mark of 1874. and two feet above that
of 1928, when it only came within six
inches of the ellis of Mr.. Swaim's
warehouse. while it is now about
twelve inehes above the floor. Ali
along the Teche have stop
ped excepting Messrs. Brouasarsl &
Decair's saWlnill, and these gentle
men are battling against the water by
tha building of levees. The bridge at
this place has opened for over u week
aud is now almost covered by water,
and kept from floating by large guam
tity of iron being placed upon it,
On the east side of the Teche, from
Breaux's Bridge down, there is only
strip of dry land about half mile wide.
Beyond that. it is an immense lake,
and ID Fausse Pointe about I4O0 per-
sons have been driven from their
homes. The parsonage and church at
LoreauVille have been generously put
at their disposal by Father Coughlin /
but these Accommodations not being
sufficient, many have constructed
pienx huts, which are their only
shelter. Subscriptions have been
taken up in New Iberia and that per-
lion of tile parish not subject to over
aoW. for their relief, but persons who
have been among them report that the
suffering is still great and much re-
maine to be done to alleviate it.
Opposite Jeanereste, more than
ree-fourths of the land now in cult
vation, is under water, the back levees
having ALI given way, and from inform
itions received yesterday from that
vicinity, the damage will exceed our /
asst week i estimate.
