The Democratic country parishes vot-
ed overwhelmingly against the debt
amendment; and though some falsely
considerit Democratic measure, if it
is adopted, it was by the Republican
and colored vote, not by the vote of the
Democracy and the taxpayers.

The Times Democrat complains that
the advantages of using cypress lumber
have not been made known to the other
States, and foreign market made for
It. There is not more good cypress in
Louisiana than is needed at home; in
fact the supply is being rapidly exhaust
ed, by those who live near where the
cypress grows.

The Thibodaux Sentinel, which we
thonehf was onnosed to the outlet sys-

The Thibodaux Sentinel, which we
thought was opposed to the outlet sys-
TEN, says:
The fact is well known, that it the
Lafourche and Teche basin had more
outlets, there could be no overflow, and
that damages from any crevasse or ere
vases would be comparatively little,
provided the water rushing through 1t
or them could find ready egress TO the
sea.
Can such outlets be made, and it SO,
where could they be lOcated2
The widening of the Atchafalaya riv--
er below Berwick's Bay is one method
by which increased capacity of outlet
could be had. Were that stream widen
ed to double the width it now has 1t is
very probable no more oVertiows would
occur in the valley above mentioned.
All the surplus waters could passs out
through Berwick's Bay and by the way
of Bayou Bnuf. Even it it We're re-
uuired to widen the lower Atcbafalaya
three or five times it's present Width 1t
could be easily done.
Another outlet could be formed be-
tween Pattersonville and Cheneyvllle.
| 1t is said that there are but few miles
between tide water and the Gulf at that
point. and that a canal cut through that
strip of land would soon widen into a
large stream. This however would ne
cessitate the opening OF similar outlet
| between the Teche and the Lake, other
| wise the water would have to flow
some distance up the Teche to the pro-
posed outlet.
It is difficult to make water run away
from the direction nature has prescribed
| for it. -.
the sea is by Berwick's Bay and thence
down the Atchafalaya.
Hence, the proper point TO increase
| the CAPACITY of outlet will be where ma
ture has prescribed 1t shoulo Oe, oy Gu
larging that stream.
The only place that we know of where
Fan outlet could be made between Pat
tersonville and Cheneyville, is about
sixteen miles below Opelousas, where
the Bayou Fusilier enters the Teche on
the west side. There is natural canal
or cutoff between the Fusilier and Yer
| million Bayou, which when Vermilion
Bayou is high and the Teche low, car
ries water into the latter, and Ctce CersG
The Teche runs out of The Conrtableau
at Barry's Landing, nine miles from
Opelousas, and no artificial opening
from Grand Lake is necessary to fill the
Teche with water during an overflow
We think however that the people OF
Lafayette and Vermilion parishes would
strenuously oppose turning the overflow
water of the great Teche and Atchafa-
laya basin into Yermilion Bayou.

In New Orleans the vote for State
officers was twenty to upwards of twen-
ty-one thousand for the Democratic
ticket, and only from about two thou
sand Eve hundred to upwards Of three
thousand for the Republican ticket /;
and the amendments were carried by
about twenty thousand to two thousand.
St. Landry democrat., 1884-05-03

The majority in the State for the
Democratic ticket is about forty-five
thousand. If the debt amendment is
adopted at all, it is by small majority.
The Democratic country parishes were
almost solid against it, and its only
chance of being carried was by the Re-
publican vote and the corrupt Demo-
cratic vote of New Orleans.

All the members elected to the Legis-
lature from the parishes in this State,
are Democrats, except thirteen Repub-
licans, six Independents, and three
elected in New Orleans on the Citizens
Parish Democratic ticket. Most of the
Republicans are colored, but two col
Ored men elected on the Democratic
ticket in Madison parish are classsd as
Democrats and some of the Republi-
cans were elected on Fusion ticket.

The Democratic party swallowed the
Republican party almost entirely at the
late election in this State, which makes
practically but one party in the State
that is too heavy and has too little op-
position to stick together long. If the
National Democracy insist on further
reductions of the sugar tariff, the sugar
planters in this State will probably quit
the party and at the next. election
there will no doubt be d scramble for
iocaa offices without regard to party.
