Congressman Price is untiring in
his efforts to advance the interests
Of his constituents. He has already
appeared before the Rivers and
.Harbors Committee, to press the
survey of Vermilion Pass and Bay.
Recent dispatches from Washington
bring the news that he mas received
a petition from citizens of Vermilion
parish, asking that an Appropriation
of at least 1900 be secured to
makethe Vermilion Bayounavigable
tothe Lafayette Bridge in Lafayette
parish. A survey was had 10 1880,
and later on two appropriations
amounting to $4,000 was secured
This amount was expended in clear
ing the banks, removing obstruc.
lions, etc. In 1855, Lient. Crosby
made a survey of the river, looking
to its improvements from Abbeyille
to the crossing Of the L. & 7. rail
road, which would cost $4,000. He
reported, however, that the benefit
would be local and the Improvement
not permanent. Acting on this
recommendation, Congress has
made no further appropriation for

JUDGE BREAUx.

1T was with more, than ordinary
pride we learned Of the appoint,
ment Of Col. Joseph A. Breanx, Of
New Iberia, to the vacancy on the
Supreme bench, occasioned BIZ the
expiration Of the term of Judge
Poche. Mr.. Breaux was not an
aspirant .for the place, and if he
had ever been mentioned in that
connection, it was not given pub.
licity. Several gentlemen had been
heralded through the press as the
most ft candidates for the position,
and the claims of no one were press
ed with more vigor, ardor and persis:
tence than those ofJudge Poch6 him
sell, Il is no doubt due to the fact he
sought the place SO eagerly, that he.
failed to land. While Mr.. Breaux
is too we'll known here as an able
lawyer and a patriotic citizen to
require any commentator, we feel
that this brief sketch of his career
can not but prove interesting
Hon. Jos. A. Breaux is descended
from an old French and Creole
family, who came from Nova Scotia
to Louisiana in It'll, and who have
since been prominent in public life.
He was born February IT, 1888, in
Iberville parish, La. and attended
the public schools there until The
age Of Is, when he was sent to
Georgetown College, KY. After
two years. study there, and a SINH
lar length of time at the Jefferson
College in st. James parish, he
entered the literary department Of
the University of Louisiana, from
which he was graduated in 1858,
and a year later from the law de
partment.
Law practice and the publica.
ton of The Weekly Magnolia at his
birthplace occupied his time from
his graduation to his enlistment in
the Confederate army as private.
He served chiefly il the States of
Mississippi and Louisiana, and was
surrendered under Kirby Smith at
Shreveport in 1865, after seeing a
good deal OF active service as SER
geant, lieutenant, and, at times,
acting captain and adjutaut.
After the war he settled in Yer
milionville, and practiced law until
October 1867, when he located in
Abbeville, where he piled his pro
fession until his removal in Novem-
Der, 1868. to New Iberia, where he
has resided and practiced law since,
doing a lucrative business.
In 1861 he was nominated by
the Democratic convention in
PIaauemine for the Legislature, and
being elected, served in the legisla-
ture of 1862. He had not accepted
political Office upto 1888, when he
was nominated and elected State Su.
perintendent OF Public Education.
Hejs a gentlemen of means. and
has shown warm interest in the
success Of public education in Louis.
lana. He took part in establishing
and maintaining a high school in n.
Iberia, the building being erected
by private subscription, and his
enthusiastic connection with this
institution did a great deal towards
bringing Col. Breaux's name before
the convention for the position for
which he was nominated.

THE FLOOD

After many days of hard fighting,
patient watching and prayefful
anxiety, the Pointe Coupeo levee
system has spccambed to the ire
-sistible pressure Of the mighty flood,
and The tawny waters Of the Miss.
ississippi run their mad riot Of des.
truction over the fertile fields and
happy homes Of the fair land. whose
bulwark of protection has been
swept away |
On Monday the levee 10 front Of
Bayou Sara broke, and that thriv-
ing town was flooded from five to
fifteen feet.
On Tuesday The levee broke at
old Morganza, abont zoe yards
above the new levee, and in a few
minutes was 400 feet wide and II
feet deep, and at last account was
assuming formidable proportions.
This crevasse will inundate .Pointe
Coupee, West Baton Rouge, Tber-
vile, Assumption, Lafourche, Terre-
bonnie, and all ST. Mary, St. Martin,
iberia and St. Landry, east side Of
the Tech6. There are now no less
than nine erevasse on the Pointe
Coupee front, besides several in
East and West Baton Rouge. The
situation is also alarming in Con-
cordia. If these crevasse demon
strate anything, it is that more
outlets are necessary, and that the
levee system is failure. In a few
hours after Morganza broke. the
water fell six inches at N. Orleans
and over a foot at Bayou Sara /!
This is proof evident.
