ACT. NO. 81.

The act creating The Atchafafaya Ba-
Gin Levee District has been promulgated
and put into operation. Whether 1t will
prove good Act, and whether the COIL
missiOners appointed to control and man
age it will render it success, in preven-
ting overf0ws and foundations can only
be satisfactorily answered after the test
of time will be given to develop results
The Legislation that brought this Ac,
into existence, the manner OF its cOnce2-
ton and birth are now proper subjects OF
discussion and criticism. II is IN act
that authorize a body Of leyee commits
;siOners, appointed by the governor to as
sess extraordinary taxes upon the resi-
dents Of the district, i'll an Gnusal and
arbitrary manner, and not, II may be as
serted, in unilorR and equal method.
How many men in The Atcllafalaya Ba-
sin Leree District knew that such al act
as that OF number 81 was il cOptempla-
ton, until the act had been passed, and
signed by the State Executive? The as
sertiOn that not one in fifty knew Of it is
q safe reply. Was there single petition
presented by any of the citizens in the
said district asking such Legislation?
Was the act ever printed and sent out
among the people, that they might know
what was going on, and DC allowed the
poor privilege at least, of expressing
their opinions upon the propriety Of such
legislation?
The whole thing was engineered
through the Legislature by few inter
ested parties signed by the executive and
promulgated whilst four fifths, is not
more, of those whose interest were d.
rectly affected by it, were i'll profound
ignorance OF any such a law being in
contemplation. Again, when the act
was passed, and before it was prOmh-
gated, in such methods that the people
could see and comprehend it, the Cover
NOR appoints the commissioners, without
even permitting the people, whose pro-
perty they are privileged to burden with
excessive and extraordinary taxatiOn, to
be heard in reference to the appoint
ments.
Such Legislation deserves no credit
from the Legislators Of this State. II is,
to say the least, an outrage, and Gn in
suit to the intelligence Of the people
whose interests are so vitality involved.
The law may result fayOrably to the
interests. agricultural and financial, Of
the district.
Bot it is not the way &c enact such le-
gislatiOn. Laws so violently changing
established methods, and placing SO great
interests at stake, in The arbitrary power
of few men, should never be enacted
until the people are permitted IN Oppor-
tunity to examine, stldy and investigate
them, and be given the privilege to be
heard, in reference TO them. Such legis-
la.iOn would have created no wonder
twenty years ago, but in the year Of our
Lord. 1890, il has aroused considerable
astonishment, and unfayOrable comment

HE LOST AND SKIPPED.
w. #. w. Whittier Bankrupts His
Father by Gambling and Skips.

Rev. &. L. Morrill, says that gambling
is permitted in this fair city. The
police say There amt no gambling at
ALL" and deny Mr.. Morrill's statement.
While there may be no open gambling
houses it is very evident that there are
a few games going, and it is not hard
for the lamb to get haircut. In the
rear of All Nicollet avenue the building
firm of j. W. Whittier d Son has its
shop. William E. W. Whittier is the
junior member of the firm. and was the
general financial agent, frequently hav-
ing large sums of money in his posses
sion. The temptation to buck the tiger
was too strong, and the natural result
was that he lost, On Saturday the
wind-up took place. Young Whittier
gave check upon the NieoIlet National
bank in payment of mortgage which
he had given to secure gambling debt.
Payment was refused and the young
man skipped. MIR. Whittier may pull
through, as all the checks were signed
in the young mans name and not that
of the firm. and payment on his part is
optional. BarGwell, Robinson & Co.
and Forman, Ford & Co. are the heavi-
est creditors. but it is said that they
will extend their time of credit to help
Mr.. Whittier through.
