CRETAssE AT MANc1EAc. = The alarming
news feached us last Sunday morning that
the Aanchac dixie, on the left bank of the
river a5oHt nine miles below Baton Rouge.
had given way at dusk the previous even
ing and that water was pouring swiftly
through gap from forty to sixty feet in
width. The leTce or dixie at this point is
very large, having a base of 175 feet and
being 20 feet in height, traversing the
mouth Of Bayou Manchac that was closed
by Gen. Jackson in 1872 10 prevent Tie
British vessels from reaching the river
above New Orleans. Fortunately, however,
there is a wide batture in front of the dixie
and the depth Of water over it was not
more than eight feet at any point, hence
the large force of laborers concentrated at
the spot BY the neigl.boring planters aud
the MISSISSIPPI Valley Railroad Company
supplied with ample materiaf and work
ing under he intelligent direction of As
sistant State Engineer II, 9. Brown on the
upper end Of the break ard Capt. Juo.
Grant, Chief Engineer of the railroad, com
pany just named, on the lower eld-Uere
enabled to stop the flow Of water through
the broken dixie after thirty-two hours of
lncesSant labor. Had this creYasse re-
manned open, large portion of the par
lshes of East Baton Rouge, Ibervilie, AS
cension and st. James would have been
entaiiing immense damage, ard
The fertile and populous New River section
Of our parish would have been quickly
oyerfiowed, causing repetition of the snf-
fering which prevailed there in 1889. The
people are fortunate to have escaped this
niliction and they owe t1ebt of gratitude
o all who were instrumental in a7erting
he calamity.

Ten thousand dollars has been subscribed
for the purpose of enabling the sewall broth
ers to undertake the work of closing the
Davis creyasse, and they will begin oper-
atoms at the break on Monday. Half fhe
amount raised was subscribed by planters
whose places are affected by the overflow,
and the other half by the city of New Or
leans. The General Assembly has been
asked to contribute $4,000 on the part of
the State, and it is believed the application
will be granted.

THE sENAToRsHIp.

Contrary to general expectation, the
contest before the Democratic caucus at
Baton Rouge for tie Senatorial nomination
resulted in the choice of Mr.. James B.
Eustis of Orleans, who received 81 votes on
the first ballot, against So for Senator Jonas
and for Judge Manning of the Supreme
Court. The supporters of Mfr. Jonas
were confident of success, even up to the
moment the ballot was taken, and the re-
suit caused great surprise. IF it be true, as
alleged, that the unexpected outcome of
this contest was due to the influence of the
representative of the. Sugar Planters
Associations the Sugar Exchange and of
the protective tariff principle generally, we
have nothing but eradication to express
that Mr.. Enstis has been Successful.
While Senator Jonas has shown himself
friendly to the sugar interests Of the State,
he has also exhibited a disposition to stand
by the dietation of his party's machine
at all hazards, and if such d measure as the
Morrison tariff bill were to receive the
approval of the Democratic Senatorial
caucus, he would. no doubt be found
supporting the measure in the Senate,
though its provisions we're hurtfuI in the
extreme to the welfare of a large body of
his constituents. "a Demo cratic contem-
porary expressed the fear. just prior to the
action Of the caucus, that this combined
interest o--m meaning the representatives of
protected interests will defeat Mr.. Jonas
and succeed in sending to Congress from
Louisiana another man like Carleton Hunt,
ready to join the RandaIlities and Repub-
licans in defeating Democratic measures
As it will rebound to the credit and pros
perity of our State to have few more
members of Congress like Mr. Hunt, we
can only hope that our contemporary is
correct in its estimate of Mr. Eustis and
that its worst "fears" have been realized
in his selection.
Mr.. Jonas and his friends have expressed
their acquiescence in the decision of the
caucus, hence the election of Mr.. Eustis is
a foregone conclusion.
We are reliably informed that Represen-
tatiye Gibson of this parish was one OF The
warm supporters Of Senator Jonas.

CIRcUIr CoURT.-Last Monday, the 10Th
last, was the day fixed by law for opening
the regular semi annual term of the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals for this parish,
and Hon. o. w. Blake, one Of the Circuit
Judges, arrived here from Thibodaux.
ready for business There being no cases
On the docket, however, and Judge Smith
being absent, the Court was formally
opened and Immediately adjourned until
the next regular term. At theprevious ses-
sion the suit of Leon Gedchaux rs. Full
gence Bourgeois was submitted for aeci-
sion at chambers, with the agreement that
opposing counsel should file briefs and
quote authorities within thirty days. No
action was taken by counsel under the
agreement, we believe, hence no decision
was rendered III the case; and on Monday
last the suit was brought to a conclusion
by the filing of q written motion, signed
by attorneys for plaintiff and defendant,
for the dismissal of the appeal taken to
the Circuit Court. The judgment of the
District Court i'm favor of plaintiff there
fore becomes final.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Sunday night before
last a shooting ARRAY occurred in Port
Barrow, near the iron bridge, growing
out OF kind of family quarrel, the partic
'ulars of which we have NOT cared to i'll
auire into. The shooting was done by
young man named Cornelius. A number
of persons were present and it is not clear
whether he was firing at one particular
Individual more than another. Be this as
it may, he enptied a revolver, and the last
shot took effect in the anatomy of Louis
Clark, the ball passing through his left arm,
penetrating the left lung and lodging in his
back. His condition was at first consid-
cred dangerous, but there is now eyery
indication that he will recover. Cornelius,
who lives on the left bank of the river
and had crossed to Port Barrow on a
visit, ran to his skiff and made good his
escape. All the parties implicated in this
affair are colored.

ApRUpENr JUROR.

General Thomas Harrison, who was
commander Of Texas regiment during
the war, and known by the boys as the
"Jim Town Major" was soon after the
war elected Judge of one of the districts
of Texas Shortly after his election he
visited one of the counties in his district
for the purpose of holding court, and
upon his arrival in town impaneled jury
consisting of eleven white men and one
negro. About the first case called was
one against party for murder. After
hearing evidence, arguments of counsel
and charge of the court, the jury started
down stairs to consider their verdict,
the colored juror happening to be in the
rear. Following them was the attorney
for the defendant. At the head of the
stairs land in the hearing of the colored
juror the attorney was asked by friend
how he thought the case would be de.
cided. The reply was: 81 think the de-
PENDANT will be acquitted or the jury will
be hung?" The jury went down the
steps and out in the yard, and, upon
looking around, the colored member was
missing. Upon investigation they saw
him making 2:40 time in the direction of
the brush. The Sheriff was called, and,
after vigorous pursuit, Mr.. Juror was
captured and brought before the court
and asked why he had run away. His
reply was: "He had heard a gentleman
say if the man wasn't cleared the jury
would be hung and as he hadn't done
nothing he didn't want to take any
chances"
