What Might he Done.

At the meeting of the Legislature in
May members from all the overlooked
districts will be asking for State aid.
1t is not easy to tell how the aid requir-
ed can be extended, as the State needs
aid itself, but it might be we'll for the
Senators and Representatives from this
district, and those adjoining, to ac-
quaint themselves now, while the over
flow is nearly at its highest, with all the
facts concerning the repairs of levees
in existence and the necessity. which
certainly exists for the building of
others in addition. Immediate atten-
ton to this important matter may
reasonably be required of members of
the Legislature from this section.

Trenton Items.

1t is hard joke of the river reporter
of the Bulletin about Trenton desiring
the overflow of Monroe by the levee
breaking. The "Veniciators' of this
place desired no such thing, and this
kind of capital will, therefore, hence
forth find no market for discussion.
We extend the right hand of warm
congratulation to our friend, ID. G.
Trousdale, upon his happy embarka-
ton upon life's ocean with one who
graces his ship so charmingly as the
beautiful mate he has chosen. May
their compass point with unerring GER
tainty to the haven of glorious
Elysium, and, after long and pros
porous voyage, may they cast anchor
in an eternal calm.
The water is fast receding, and ere
long we can change from "Neniciat-
ing" to perambulating. AS soon as our
land is restored, the broken down fences
will have to be repaired and a general
reconstruction must necessarily follow
Fortunately, no serious damage has
occurred to property, or has there been
| any loss of life during the overflow.
| Every conceivable kind of craft from a
Choctaw raft to the Fred A. Blanks has
fioated at our wharf during the flood
The 1874 rise was not reached by three
inches, yet we presume the incon.
venience was well nigh as great. Along
with the recession of the water, the
buffalo gnats are alike departing, and
farmers are beginning to link them
selves down to work with much WIG
and energy.

ALFRED sLIDELL.

Mr.. Alfred SlideIl who accompanies
Mr.. Scott and other gentlemen en-.
gagged in the splendid enterprise of the
Erlanger Syndicate, is the son of the
eminent Democratic chteftain, John
Slidell, who has figured so largely In
the political history of this State. Mr..
Slidell, having removed his family dur
ing our civil war, when he held the
position OF Minister of the Confederacy
to the then Imperial Court of France,
his son, who is native of this city,
was educated abroad and has devel-
oped to large degree, the qualities
which secured so much success and
prosperity to his eminent father.
Those qualities We're, excellent sense,
cool and clear judgment of men aud Of
affairs, and fine business talent. De-
spite his long absence and foreign edu-
cation and residence, Mr.. Alfred Sifdefl
has always cherished and manifested a
warm and deep interest In the honor
and advancement of his native State.
With his brother-iu-law, Erlanger, this
sentiment and regard for the State of
his own and his maternal ancestors
birth, and of his fathers long and dis
tinguished service, have doubtless been
very potential influences in Inducing
their engagement in the great enter
prise which is justly regarded IA one of
tho most important and valuable 10 our
city which has ever been projected.-

District Court.

The jury term of the District Court
for this parish will be opened Monday.
There are about $50 civil cases on the
the Clerk. None of the prosecutions
are for crimes of any magnitude. The
Grand Jury will be sworn in, we pre-
sumo, and offenses against peace and
good order inquired into; but in the
present condition of this parish, it
would be we'll to compel the attendance
ut court of as few people as possible.
Tho TELEGRAPH submits this motion
to his Honor, Judge Richardson.
