A few days since, the editor accept

commissioner of the A~tehafalaya Ba-

of the st. Mary Pamela C~reyasse.

caused so great loss and suffering to
the people for six miles above, and
below, all the way down to the lowest
settlements on Bayou Lafourche.
They were accompanied by Mr..
Charles J.. Barker of this place, and,
at Lafourehe Crossing were joined by
Messrs Lewis and Leblanc of the
Board of State Engineers, who had

New Orleans.
Ihe drive was Il pleasant one: The
crops were looking s~plendidly, but
soon the evidences of the overflow be-
came visible, narrowing gradually the
acreage of cultivated lands, until there
remained nothing but a waste of san
dy land to look upon. These small
farmers had energetically, and deter
minedly, followed, ip most eases, the
receding waters, and sowed rice in
the muddy debris. This was now
looking apparently well, and the pros
poets it offered to the owners buoyed
up their spirits after the disasters they
had been compelled to experience.
Arriving at the revasse the party
.alighted and took a view of it's de-
structive work.
A sight seldom witnessed by man

visitors at once grand and wonderful

level with the bottom of the Bayou.
This trench was from 25 feet.to 100
feet wide. In its bottom were huge
cypress stumps, standing erect, Just as
they had grown in that soil. hundreds
and hundreds of years ago, when they
took DOT in the soil that had lust be-

entirely deeayed and joined the moth

continued until these stumps were con
cealed 20 feet under the soil. and now
for the first time in centuries the sun
sends down its burning rays upon
them.
In these excavations the geologist
might learn much of the mysteries at
tending the formation of the alluvial
soil of Louisiana in years long since
passed into the darkness of the past.
In front of these excavations, leaving
off its work abruptly the water spread

In to-day's issue will be found Act
No. 81 passed by the late Legislature
creating The Atchafalaya Basin Levee
District in which every person residing
Oh the Nest side of Bayou Lafourche
is deeply interested.
1t will increase taxation considerably
but tax payers will not seriously OBJ
ieet if overt1ows and foundations can
be prevented. The act is based upon
the law creating a similar district north
of the mouth of Red River, which has
been of great value to that section of
country and increased the value of
lands very materially.
The elaeting clause is left out as
everything is embraced in the various
sections.
To comprehend its effects and ex-
tent it must be read and studied.
1t authorizes a tax Of ten mills on the
dollar which is all increase of two
mills more than has been assessed.
1t also authorises7a levy not to exceed
25 cents per bale Of cotton, 25 cents
per 1000 pounds of sugar, II cents per
barrel Of syrup, 5 cents per barrel of
molasses, II cents per sack of rough
rice, or esculents produced in the dis
trict.
1t also authorizes the further levy
of a tax of p cents on each acre of
land, and $4,000 for each mile Of rail-
road.
1t also donates the Levee Board all
the lands within the District unsold
and authorizes the Board to sell or
dispose of them, and turn proceeds
into the Levee Fund.
Judge Howell, of Lafourche, has
been designated by the Board of Com
m%issioners to supervise, aud point out
all work to be done on the levee from
Tie upper line of Assumption Parish to
the Gulf of Mexico.
All persons having levees in need of
repair should call upon, and confer
with him.
This law is II of great Importance
and will probably result in the repair
ing, renewing and Strengthening of
Levees in this District that will rem
der almost absolutely secure from
overflow this great Basin of country.

The Tillman wing of the Democratic
Party seems to have routed the regu-
lars from one end of the State to the
other in South Carolina the regulars,
finding themselves beaten have bolted.
All this trouble arises from the fact
that the leaders of the Democratic
Party forgot that the Democratic voters
might have a desire to have something
to do in electing Candidates. 1t may
be a foolish notion on their part, but.
at the same time, they will occasional
~ revolt.
Two years ago, a demand was made
i'll South Carolina to elect delegates to
the nominating conventions by prima-
ry elections. This demand was denied
by the leaders. Thinking that it was
an unnecessary work, When they could
nominate the candidates in their eau
cuses SO much more easily and salts
%factorily.
But the voters could not see it in
that light, and they went to work IN
der the lead of Gen. Tillman to show
that they proposed to have something
to say in the elections this fall. The
consequence is they are masters of the
situation, and the regulars met the fate
Of all parties who forget that they are
the agents, and lot the masters, of the
people.
This is the natural sequence of all
thos e rough shed efforts of the few to
override the many.
ANY party that goes away from the
people, are certain in the end, to find

fense-Olm Gives Up.

John McLary, a young man who for some

the following from the clerks in the employ OF
the Walker Bros company:
IN last evenings issue of the Tunes appeared
an ar1eie IN regard TO theft frem the store OF
tne walker Bros Co. in which an innocent

nela notoriety, against MIR. w. H, Sunderland,
IN winch he accuses Mr.. Sunderland of being an
accomplice in the theft; also of having been ar
rested and now in jail. We, the clerks in the

IT WAS In SELF-DEFENSE.
The Jury ExOnerates Grifiiths, Who Created
Sensation in the Foam Saloon,

The case of Charles T. Grifiths, charged with
assault with a deadly weapon, was then taken
up, G. 5. Kinney appearing for the defendant.
The evidence was TO the effect that on Decem
Der 9TH last, the defendant went to the Foam
set upon by Richard Dunn, Royal Mcdonald
and James Fay. In the row which followed
the defendant stabbed Dunn in the back with q
butcher knife. The evidence for the prosecu
ton showed that the defendant acted in self
defense and the jury brought in a verdict of moi
guilty.
Grlf1iths father is the postmaster at Mellow
ell, Missouri, and he has written to Mr.. Kinney
stating that about three years ago his son, theT
seventeen years old, ran away from school anC
came west Ito make his fortune" He came
here about two years ago and has been cool
at John w. Young's camp and at the Windsor
hotel. 1t is TO be hoped that this experience
viii prove a lesson to him.
