AN Open Letter.

OPELoUsAs, La, March 10, 1884.
Mr. C. Comeau, Chairman Campaign
Committee Independent Democratic
Party:
Dear Sir,-I perceive by the published
proceedings, that regular ticket Of
your party had been nominated, aud my
name appears thereon as a candidate
for Senator. In returning my sincere
thanks to the citizens who participated
in your convention, and who have re-
posed this confidence in me in confer
ring nomination for that office, | must
state that having always been member
of the regular Democratic party, now
occupying position in said party, and
having participated in the last conven
tion of the Democratic party, it is i'm
possible for me to accept this nomina-
ton. Besides, it would be unfair and
unjQso on my part to accept your sup
port, whilst cannot return you equal
support, being bound to vote for the
nominees of the regular Democratic
party. For, as stated already, my par
ticipation in the Democratic convention
has created obligations, which |, as a
democrat, cannot violate. For these
reasons, and again thanking you and
those you represent for this manifesto
ton of your confidence, | respectfully
decline the nomination.
Yours Respectfully,
T. FERREOL PERRODIN.

Flood Notes.

The new break in the Davis crevasse
will prevent the Morgan road from run
ming through trains, and it is stated
that they will commence transferring
passengers by boat above the crevasse,
and then send them by the small
narrow gauge road ON the Ashton
plantation to Beutte station, on the
main line. In this way the passengers
can be forwarded, but it is safe to say
that the freight business of the road is
partically suspended, and that the Nor
gan Company will have to resort to its
steamships to carry freight to Texas and
Callfornia.-N. @. Times-Democrat 10.
The engineers say that it is impossi-
BILE to close the Davis crevasse, and in
consequence all work has been suspend
ed
The water in the Atchafalaya swamp,
which covers the track to depth of
three feet, and which has washed at
least one quarter of a mile of the road
off grade, did not come from the Nor
ganza crevasse, but from the overflow
of Bayeu des Glaizes. The Morganza
water, however, is expected to submerge
the track of the 7. and ?. road about
Maringouin Station within the next two
or three days.
Commencing to-day the Morgan road
will run its steamships with freight
from Algiers to Morgan City.
It has been so arranged that a ship
will leave here daily. At present, how
ever, the officials of the road are max
ing an effort to have the track through
the Davis crevasse raised on cribwork
in order to allow trains to pass over the
water.-N. O. Times-Democrat, 20.

Democratic Mass Meeting.
OpELoUsAs, March 19, 1873.


Pursuant to previous notice, a mass meeting
of the Democrats of St. Landry assembled at
the Court House at Opelousas this day at IL
NJ The meeting was called to order by Hon.
E. D. Estilette, Chairman of the Parish Execu-
tive Committee, who called the Hon. Henry l..
Garland to the Chair Messrs. JOS. B. Young,
Albert Guidry and U. 7. Blackshear were ap-
pointed Vice Presidents, and Messrs. l.. A.
Sandoz and G.. A. NJ. Cooke, Secretaries.
Mr. Garland, on taking the chair, in earnest
and impassioned language, addressed the
meeting at some length on the political issues
of the day, both State aud parochial, and urg-
ed upon his hearers the paramount Importance
of maintaining intact the party organization
and discipline. by giving hearty support to
the regular nominees of the party.
Mr. j Massie Martin, being called upsn,
made a brief and eloquent address, bristling
with sound political advice and plain common
sense and, like Mr.. Garland, was frequently
applauded.
Mr.. C. w. DuRoy, in response to numerous
calls, made a neat speech in French, in which
he enunciated in plain and practical manner
the soundest and truest Democratic doctrine.
Hon. B. A. Martel, the old War Horse of
Democracy, Hon. E. d Estilette and Hon. w
A. Robertson were called upon in turn, and
made brief but patriotic and telling addresses,
which were enthusiastically applauded.
The meeting then adjourned.

Worlds Exposition Association.

According to previous announcement,
meeting of our citizens was held at
the Courthouse ON last Wednesday, the
18th inst, to formulate means and
measures by which st. Landry should
make suitable and comprehensive
exhibit in the approaching Worlds
Cotton and Industrial Exposition in
December next.
Eloquent and interesting speeches
were made by a humber of our leading
citizens, showing the advantages to ac-
crue to our section by said representa-
tive exhibition, and it was resolved to
organize for active and earnest work.
An association of one hundred of our
most energetic citizens, with equal rep
resentation from each OF the nine po-
lice jury wards, was formed, and the
following officers appointed to direct
it's movements, to-wlt Chas. n. Ealer,
President Rev. T. j. Hough, Vice
President C. C. swayze, Secretary !;
Alphonse Levy, Treasurer. A plan was
then mapped out and adopted as to the
line of exhibits to be made by St. Lam
dry. As means of exciting general
interest and to secure the best exhibits
a large list of premiums will be given
for the best samples of articles and OBJ
iects to be entered.
The meeting lasted almost the entire
day, and great interest and enthusiasm
!. characterized the entire deliberations.
Let our whole people now exert them
selves to place St. Landry ahead of all
her sister parishes in the grand Expo
sition at New Orleans.

The Mass Meeting.

Desplte the unpropitious weather, a.
large gathering of our best citizens from
various portions of the parish assembled
at the Court House last Wednesday to
listen to the distinguished Democratic
orators from abroad who were announc-
ed to address the people here on that
day. Owing partly to the fact that the
Governor was detained at the capital by
the performance of urgent duties, and
partly to the interruption of travel
caused by the overflow, neither that
gentleman nor his colleagues on the
State ticket could fill the appointments
made, and our home orators were per-
force called upon to supply their places.
we had prepared a sketch of the excel
lent addresses they made, but owing to
the sudden indisposition of part of
our Office force, that and other interest
ing articles of local nature could not
be put in type in time for this issue.
The reader is referred, for brief report
thereof, to the minutes of the meeting
handed in by the Secretaries. We have
time only to say that from the applause
accorded to the different speakers it is
safe to predict that the independent
movement will crumble to pieces be-
fore the day of the election. ct is
crumbling now vide Mr.. Perrodin's
letter, in another column.) In fact, up
on serious reflection, we believe that the
majority of good men who have been
led off will see the mischief and error of
such a course, and will cast their votes
solidly for the Democratic nominees in
April next.
While our people were disappointed
in not hearing the distinguished gentle
men on the Democratic State ticket, yet
they were highly entertained and in
structed by our local orators. Every
thing passed off quietly and harmoni
ously, and in conclusion we add: Dem
ocrats, remember your party allegiance,
and on the 22d of April vote a SOLID
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The second objection coming up to be

The second objection coming up to be
considered, it was fully discussed by
several persons present, but before a
vote was taken on the motion to strike
out made by Mr.. Perrodin he withdrew
said motion as originally made, and
moved as a substitute therefor the fol-
lowing, to-wit: That the Executive
Committee of this society be and is
hereby instructed to apply to the Police
jury of the Parish of St. Landry and to
the municipal bodies of the Parish of
st. Landry fora sufficient appropriation
to defray the expenses of the St. Lam
dry exhibit at the Exposition. There
being no objection made to the substi-
tute last offered it was adopted.
On motion of Kenneth Baillio, it was
moved that the report of the Commit
tee on organization and bylaws, as
amended, be adopted as whole. Car
ried.
On motion the Secretary was direct
ed to procure book in which to record
the names of the members of this So
ciety and minute of its proceedings.
Carried.
On motion the Secretary was directed
to furnish copy of these proceedings to
the several papers of the parish for pub
lication.
There being no other business before
the meeting, on motion, the same ad-
journed sine die.

Sad News from the Levees.

Advices from Lower Louisiana, pub
lished in our columns this morning,
are quite discouraging, and seem to i'm
port vast amount of devastation in
the sugar districts of our State. From
the mouth of Red River down a number
of breaks are reported on the west bank
in addition to that in the great Morgan
"a Levee. 1t is of course impossible to
stop the outflow at Morganza, and the
whole levee, which cost over $7O,0O0,
we believe, will probably beswept away.
The vast volume of water flowing
through that gap will no doubt soon
swell the Atchafalaya, and unless the
other breaks are closed there is serious
danger that the whole of Louisiana be-
tween the Atshafalaya and the Missis-
sippi, will be inundated as it was in 1874.

The criminal term of our District
Court which was in session this, week,
and doing large amount of work, was
suddenly interrupted last Thursday, by
the severe illness of Judge Hudspeth.
However, the Court did large amount
of business, and the criminal docket was
almost, and would have been entirely
cleared, but for this unfortunate occur
renee. AS it is, the community has
cause for congratulatien for the able
manner in which said term of court was
conducted by Dist. Attorney Perrodin,
and we congratulate that officer on the
fact that he convicted in every instance,
there being no acquittal to record.
There was one mis-trial only, and in
this case the Dist. Attorney did not par
ticipate, to-wit: the case of Blanchard
for manslaughter, IN which I. H. Lewis,
ESQ.,, prosecuted as special counsel
the accused being represented by G. w.
DuRoy, Esq.
