Pass Of vermilion.

In these degenerate days, when
greed and self are seeking like some
giant snake to strangle and crush
the better impulses of human nature,
it is truly gratifying to meet a man
who wishes we'll of his n%eighbors.
Notwithstanding all that has
been said and written regarding
deep water at Southwest Pass, end
the splendid natural advantages the
Bay possesses in the way Of a h1r-
Dor, none Of our contemporaries to
the north, east Or west, have ever
uttered q word Of comment. Just
why we will not undertake to SAY.
Possibly some were honestly nnbe.
levers, and others may have been
envious of the good fortune in store
for Vermilion parish when the Pass
should be thoroughly known. I'm
der these circumstances, it is with
more than ordinary feelings of
pride and qualification that we re-
produce the subjoined extract from
an able editorial by that liberal
spirited journalist, Don Godfrey, Jr.:
Of the St. Mary Banner:
Between the Calcasieu and the
mouth Of the Atchatalaya, a deep
water port can be found. Texas is
bidding high, but Louisiana has
such natural advantages over those
of her rival as to render it certain
that the port ought to be within her
borders, at such a point as to be
easily reached by the longitudinal
lines Of railroad from Minnesota to
the Gulf. Two points for euch a
port suggests themselves,-one at
the mouth of the Atchafalaya, the
other at the Pass between Vermll!on
Bav aud the Gulf.
mo suck har6or can be found
from Portland to Pensacola as the
Atchafalaya furnishes from Morgan
City TO Shell Island.
The Pass is also an excellent
harbor, not so secure as the Atchaf
alaya, but easily made so by artifi
cial works. Let our Congressman
elect see what he can do for Us %
