A New York scientist claims to have
discovered alorg the Lehigh Valley
hitherto unknown metal which isexpect-
ed to supplant hickel in general use. He
was making an experiment with an ex-
plosive substance mixed with pulverized
furnace Stag, which, on being heated,
caused an explosion to take place. Upon
examining the erucible in which the
mixture had been he found that
chemical process had taken place
by which ar apparently valuable
but hitherto unknown metal had been
eliminated from The Stag. It was silvery
white in color, of fine, smooth texture
and susceptible Of a brilliant polish that
no exposure will tarnlsh. It was found
to be malleablesductile and OF great
tenacity, showing tensile resistance of
14O, 600 poundsl to the square inch.
Further experiments only confirmed the
results of the first trial. and company
has now been organized for the purpose
of working" the large Stag banks
along the Lehigh valley for the metal.

MORE nRRUAssIg

Before sending this number of the CHE,
| to press we have secured copy of to-day's
| Times Democrat from which we gather the
| information that breaks have occurred in
| the Buck Ridge, Ships Bayou, Point
Pleasant, Hewitt, and Hard Times levees
Tensas parish, and in the Fairyiew levee,
Concordia parish, twenty miles below
Natchez. Nearly all these crevasses are of
such extent that there is no probability that
they can be closed.
Last Monday the Belle Air or Mulatto
Point levee, in the parish Of West Baton
Rouge, gave way, and although the break
was at last accounts $50 feet in width and
constantly deepening, confident belief
was entertained that the efforts being made
to close it would meet with success. A dis
patch to the Times Democrat says if the
Belle Air break remains open and its water
joins that from Morganza there will be an
overflow unprecedented in the history of
the State.
The Scott's, Milliken's Bend, O'Malley,
Bourgeois, Medora and other important
levees up the river are considered in a pre-
carious condition and large forces of men
are Strengthening them. Work on the
Davis break has been abandoned and the

closed. There are no new breaks on Ba-
you Lafourche, but those previously re-
ported are still open.

RIVER AND LEVEEs.

/ A heavy storm of wind and rain prevailed
here last Monday night and Tuesday fore
noon, causing a sudden rise of about ter
inches in the river and Bayou Lafourche
| bringing the water mp to the crest of many
| Of the levees and creating universal appre
hensien of disastrous inundation. Seyera
little breaks occurred throughout the parish
one near Geiger's store, Smoke Bend and
one under the Leblanc mill. Donaldsonville
while at number of points on the river
and bayou in Donaldsonville and al
other places the water poured over path
ways and depressions in the levees at a
lively rate. About 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning the town fire bells were rung,
bringing nearly half the population out to
the various points of danger. A large num-
Der of men, of both colors and all ages,
went cheerfully to work despite the rain
and soon had the satisfaction of seeing
the dangerous places made safe, at least for
the time being. The Smoke Bend break
was about ten feet wide and threatened to

reinforced by men and material from ad-
jacent plantations, succeeded in closing the
gap. 1t was found necessary to tear up
portion of the floor of the Leblanc saw
mill in order to close the break at that
place.
This morning the water is half an inch
above the high water mark of last year, or
eight and half inches below that of 1874.
The indications are that there will be still
further rise of several inches and that the
mark of 1874 will be reached. Capt. NJ. w.
barton, our parish levee inspector, thinks
the Ascension levees are in quite as good
condition as those of any of our neighbor-
ing parishes, and that they can stand water
as high as that of 1874, provided there is no
heavy storm while the river is at that point.
The situation is. extremely alarming and
every possible precaution should be taken
% raise and strengthen our levees wherever
here is the smallest probability of break.
Added to very high stage Of water, we are
having almost continuous rains which tend

FIRsT-OLAss CANDIDATES.

| DIR. A. Duperrier of New Iberia has de-
clined the Republican nomination for
| State Treasurer, not because he is opposed
to the principles of the party, but for per-
| sonal reasons. He has addressed letter
| to President Dumont Of the State commit
tee, expressing his thanks to those who
! were instrumental in placing his name on
the ticket, and announcing his inability to
accept the nominations; but, says he
In doing so can not. however. Withhold my
appreciation OF the principles enunciated in
the state piatf ntagonistic Us they are to
the free trade doctrines of the Democratic
party now threatening to control the legislation
OF the Congress of the United States.
DR.. Duperrier goes on to review the re-
construction policy pursued in the South
and to point out the course that he thinks
ought to have been taken by the Repub
lican party after the war. The letter is
written in an admirable spirit and its ar
guments are liberal and logical. We shall
endeavor to find space next week for it's
reproduction in full.
The State committee has filled the va
cancies on the ticket resulting from the
destinations of Col. Stone and DR.. Duper-
rier by nominating Judge Alfred Shaw for
Attorney General and DR.. M. F. Bonzano
for State Treasurer. These are both ex-
cellent selections and fully maintain the
original high standard of the ticket. In
point of character, ability and fitness for
the particular positions for which they have
been brought forward as candidates, no
men in Louisiana can claim superiority
over Judge Shaw and DR.. Bonzano.
The Republicans of this State can point
to their nominees with pride and challenge
comparison with those of the Democracy.
By placing first rate men on sound plat
form they have deserved success, even if
they fail to achieve it on the instant. Let
them persevere in their present course, and
we venture to say the day is not far distant !
when the State will align herself with the |
party whose principles and policy |
are most conducive to her welfare and mo- |
terial progress. i

MR., KELLOGG's ADDRESS

| Two weeks ago we made only a passing
| reference to the admirable speech of Con
gresham Kellogg upon the occasion OF
assuming the chair as president Of the Re.
publican State convention, intending to
lay before our readers in this number of
the CuIEF more comprehensive synopsis
of the address. Finding that its leading
points are tersely stated in the subjoined
extract from the New Orleans Southwestern
Christian Adcocate, we reproduce our con-
temporary's condensed report of the chair
mans remarks:
On the second day of the convention COM
mittee escorted President Kellogg to the chair
and he delivered strong speech, which elected
storm Of applause. He thought the best
policy OF the party was to nominate State and
Congressional tickets for maintenance of dis
clpline, whether there was hope of an election
or not. Men should be nominated who would
see that civil rights were protected, the ballot
bog kept free and ample provision made for
the education Of all children of the State. The
Republican party, he maintained, drew itself
nearer the interests of the people than the
Democratic party, either in antecedents or in
policy. 1t conserved the industrial interests of
the country. In discussion of the tariff he de-
clared that the Democratic party was COM
United to the placing of sugar on the free list,
He advocated the repeal of the internal reye
nue. SYSTEM which would relieve the country of
the protection of sugar. He thought It was
time the people of Louisiana should vote for
men who would maintain the vital interests of
Louisiana without regard to the dictates of
Democratic caucuses. He hoped to see Louis
lana and Pennsylvania Congressman combine
against the Morrison tariff bill which took
twenty per cent. off the sugar tariff. The hope
planters who would he believed, see to it that
no one was elected to Congress, without refer
ence to party affiliations, who would not pledge
to support the sugar interests of the
country independent of caucuses. He eu1o-
glzed the Republican party as the originator of
the grand idea that every man was equal before
the law, and he hailed the dawn Of universal
sentiment for harmony between the races and
OF the Negro as an inseparable part |
Of the body polite. He also advocated the
Republican party as the. friend of PENSIONS
and for Its Iperality in river appropriations.

ST. JAMES ITEMs.-A small break oc
CURED in the Vegas levee, on the left banl
of the river, Wednesday morning, but owe
300 hands were soon at work and the breal
| was closed in few hours and the levet
| made secure.
A crawfsh hole in the Bay Tree levee, or
the right bank of the river, caused appre
hension of crevasse at that point, but the
people of the neighborhood rallied prompt.
ly and by energetic work repaired the leak
in short order.
1t was reported last week that q creyasse
had occurred on the right bank near Va
cherie road. 1t TRANSFERRED, however, that
there had been no actual break, but the
levee exhibited evidence of weakness and
had it not been promptly strengthened the
water would soon have forced an opening
through the defective embankment.

There is movement on foot to extend
the corporate limits of Vermilionyille and
to change the name of the town to La
fayette. The idea is good one. The fact
that Vermilionville is in Lafayette instead
OF Nermilion parish often gives rise to a
confusion of names and places that the
proposed change would obviate.
