The Deed Accomplished.

1t will be seen by our local columns
that the Governor has succeeded in hif
scheme, outlined by THE Tim yesterday
of Outsting DIR. Wilkinson from the pre-.
sidency of the Board of Health, and OF
causing to be elected in his place gen.
tleman whose name is but little known,
even in New Orleans.
The Governor has not the appointment
and is not charged with the election of
the president of the Board of Health, but
having failed to obtain from DIR. Wilkin-
son that servile adulatiOn to which his
Excellency is accustomed he began
months ago to lay his plans for the eject
ment OF an official WHO had inspired the
country with confidence and whose re-
putatiOn had become national.
And the whole power of the admins
tratiOn was required to execute the job.
SO thoroughly did his colleagues appre-
clate his merits that it was impossible
to find one member of the old board who
would vote against DIR. Wilkinson, and
the town had to be hunted over before
new members could be secured, who
would pledge themselves to do so.
Although he found it necessary to do a
good deal of bulldozing, the Governor
might have attained his purpose without
going to the indecent extremes to which
he was carried by his petty spite. He
might, for instance, have delayed his re-
m0yal of Mr.. Gauche. But either he
lacked confidence in his newly appoint
Ell members or he wished to make an ex.
ample of a man who declined to vote at
his dictation.
IL Is idle to say that the people will
hold the Governor responsible for any
evil results that may follow his high
handed outrage. His Excellency is not
SO constituted as to comprehend the GUS
tomary standards of responsibility; and
he Is so envOlOped in the armOr of self
appreciation that he is not vulnerable to
argument or criticism.
Our only hope is in Providence and the |
Legislature. And while we trust in Pro-
violence, let the Legislature undo the |
mischief wrought by the Governor and |
Tie his hands, SO as to prevent the per-
petration Of further evil.-City Item.

Wants Female Suffrage.

Judge Warren Cowan has addressed /
letter to the Common wealth, in which
ne submits some suggestions on the all.
absorbing subject Of restricting or regu.
lating suffrage. To secure white sipre.
macy and honest elections, he proposes
that every woman who is a citizen Oh
the state, who can read and write and
owns forty acres of land in the country.
or $500 worth Of real estate in city or
town. and who is not disqualified by law
by reason Of any crime or misdemeau6f.
shall have the right to vote at any cleo.
ton.
ut will be seen at glance. he says,
in defense of the proposition, that thiS
would secure white supremacy. Tho
humber of white woman thus enfrsn.
chised would largely exceed the number
of colored woman and the negro MAORI.
ty of the male voters combined. Let the
convention then provide for an electoral
college composed of electors, equal to the
number of the members of the house OF
representatives, who shall meet whek
elected and elect all Of the state, con.
gressiOnal and district officers, judicial
and executive, and the race problem will
he solved and there be no reason why
we should not have honest elections.
There is nothing in this to conflict with
any amendment or any part Of the con.
stitutiOn of the United States. II any
reason can be afforded why an ignorant
besotted, p7eiudiced, immoral, worthless
negro man should vote, and refined,
educated white woman, who owns pro.
perty, pays taxes and performs all the
duties of her citizenship should not vote;
would like very much to hear it."

sault made upon Father Langlois Satur
day morning last because he objected
and tried to prevent charivary to take
place on the lot in front of the church
Father LanglOis was right this is not
the place for such disgraceful distur-
Dances and he should ha e adj the assis-
lance instead of the censure of those who
were present. The Catholic church for
the last few months has been the theatre
of scenes which are certainly not flat
tering to civilized and christian peo-
pie.
Our citizens will soon come to the
conclusion that timidity AMI bashful-
ness have ceased to be virtues, and they
will have to show their holiness. De not
De hypOcrite to a man because he has a
little mon pluck and temerity than you
have let that man know that you are a
man like him, his equal in every respect,
uncomfortable by the bOldness or temeri-
ty of any set of men. Until they do
that, they will be the tools and instru-
ments of few. Show your American
manhood gentlemen, and be the equal of
your neighbor or the pretended leaders.

From gentleman who returned
from bayou Teche yesterday it was learn
ed that the principal sugar plantations
on the bayou between st. MartiRyille and
Lafayette were under water. The PLAN
tatiOn of Eug. Bourgeois on the Teche,
adjoining st. Pierre place, is under Wa
ter and the residence of Mr.. Bourgeois
has been completely demolished. Most
OF the Old planters along the bayou pre-
diet a large volume of water vet to come.
-Picayune.
The informant of the Picayune must
have had the delirium tremehs when he
saw the sugar plantations between this
place and Lafayette under water. There
are no sugar plantations in that section,
and II being high land, situated on the
west bank of the Teche there is not
drop of water to be seen in that whole |
section, even the ponds and cOulees are
dry.
The high water up to this writing is |
only coming Out Of the woods and has
covered only portion OF the low lands,
and has thus for done but little damage.

his wife and children visited the place
