Whilst the act creating the Atchafa-
laya Basin Leyee District. in the man
ner of its passage, wasa great injustice
to the people residing therein, and the
appointment Of tie commissioners,
who are given SO much power IN tax
ing the people. without II opportn-
nifty Of their being heard in relation
thereto is also a great wrong to the tax
payers, both being star chamber pre-
ceedings that would have been cx-
pected three centuries ago, in the En-

The law, as it stands, will be enforced.
and, If there be any good to result from
1t, time Will develop and prove that
fact. There is doubtless few tax pay-
ers in the district who would object
to this unusual and ordinary tax were

solutely safe from iuundation from

AT all events let the Act have Il fair

Gloomy Outlook for Louisiana

A few days ago there was fair prospect
that Louisiana would not suffer great
deal from the Mississippi floods. There is
no such prospect now. Several of the rich
est parishes of the state are already under
water, and from 10000 to $1,000 people
have been driven from their homes.
The greatest levee along the
Mississippi river, the Morgansea,
broke on Tuesday, and the break rapidly
widened as the water rushed through it.
This levee was built several years ago at an
expense of S25o,0O0, and it protected the
parishes ct Pointe Coupee, West Baton
Rouge, Ibefeille, st. Landry, Assumption,
st. Martins. st. Mary, Iberia and Terre
Bonne. These are all sugar producing par
ishes, and they embrace an area of from
$500 to 5000 square miles.
How great the damage that will be done
in these parishes can be approximately I'M
derstood when it is stated that if the water
should remain on the sugar plantations ten
days it would destroy the stubole cane and
the cane that has been planted. The loss
would amount 10 millions Of dollars It
would be about impossible to raise a crop
Va oNS1t AH@o 9AI tuc
raising any other crop would not be encour-
aging.
The great majority Of the people of these
parishes are blacks. who depend upon their
daily labor for living. If the food should
cover as large a section Of country as it is
expected it will, and the damage should be
as great as predicted, the condition of the
blacks would be pitiable in the extreme.
The levees atl.along the river in Louisiana
are breaking, and there is no doubt that the
most productive portion of the state will
soon be@nder water. The hope now is that
the water will recede bsfore the cane is
killed, and, in the cotton parishes, in time
to permit the planting of cotton.
1t is reported that there is very gloomy
feeling in Louisiana, and it is not surpris-
| ing that there is. This year, just at present,
promises to be anything but a prosperous
one for that state.

He W alked In.

The bane of the average senator's life, says
the New York Tribune, is the request of his
friends and constituents for tickets of admis-
sion to the Senate gallery when anything of
great interest is going on upon the floor. In
transferred the responsibility to the sergeant
alarms; about twenty years ago the whole duty
devolved upon them. Good-natured men were
made miserable by the demands upon them,
and it is told of big bury Ben Wade that at the
impeachment of Andrew Johnson all Ohio de-
mauded tickets to the chamber.
He distributed his tickets with a lavish hand
but they gave out soouer than his constituents
He managed TO make excuses to all but one an
northern corner of the state just TO be present
at the impeachment.
My tickets are all gone" said Senator Wade,
but perhaps can serve you in some other
way"
There is nothing else l want" sighed the
chaplain Il have heard that you are a gen
erous man, but this is the first favor | have
asked after serving my country for three years,
and besides have co ne cleIr from Ohio to be
present at the impeachment of Andrew John
son."
The old senator looked him over with merry
twinkle in his eye, noticing especially the cler-
ica cut of his coat, and then, writing some
thing on a slip of paper, said:
If that doorkeerer is christian, he cannot
resist that plea"
After he got out of sight the Ohoan looked at
the paper, and on it were these words:
For Gods sakeylet this man in. Ben Wade q"
Whether it was an imprecation or an appeal
he could not tell, but he wisely decided to con
slider it the latter, aad passed into the gallery
under cover of the do keepers surprise at the
novel ticket of admission.
