We have been informed that the
New Orleans Item made very bitter
and ferocious assault upon the editor
of the Advocate few days since,
though we have not seen that paper
audaare ignorant of its contents. Dur
ing the late State campaign the Item
struck the Advocate off its exchange
list and then began series OF BUSH
whacking assaults upon the Advocate
which went on for some time before
we discovered it. When we made this
discovery we of course retaliated by
striking the Item off our list, though
we have never gone behind the bush to
dcnounce the miserable sneak who
owns and runs that journal as the
most contemplate thug who was ever
connected with any paper, so far as
our observation has gone. OF course
no man who claims to be gentleman
could so disgrace himself as to engage
in controversy of any sort with
O'Malley. This fact he well knows
and with the true spirit of the poltroon
he employs his own unspeakable de-
-pravity as shield behind which to as
safllt the best men in the State. There
| is but one way known to civilization to
deal with such hounds of hell as are
represented by O'Malley and the vile
crew who have sold their talent to him
| for the purpose of besmirching the
reputation of honest men aud, until
this point has been reached, no decent
man can afford to notice them.-Baton

ARKANSAS LEyEEs.

We copy below dispatch from
Monroe to the Vlcksburg CONNER
cial Herald, relative to the tour of
insp, ction of the Arkansas levees by
the Tensas Leree Commissioners,
and it is gratifying to learn that
they are in such a perfect condition
and that work viii be pushed lmme,
diately to place them several feet
above high water mark, which VIII
enable them to stand almost any ex-
IRENE high water:
Members of the Tensas BASIN
Leyee Board, who left Monroe last
Sunday morning, to make an IN
snectlon of the Arkansas levees, re-
turned home last evening, having
completed their work. They are Z.
P. Balfonr, of Richiand, president;
John Z. Loveless, of Richland, sec
ectary; J. A. Williams, of More
house, and E. Nj. Hicks, of Frank
lin. With them on their trip were
Major Ii. B. Richardson, Louisiana
State. engineer, and his assistant,
Mr.. Keer. Monday the levees above
Arkansas city, as far up as Postum
Fork, were inspected and found III
a verv good condition, except where
cracks had been made by the roofing
of hogs. The atteation of the local
board was called to the matter and
they will see that the hogs are
Killed, as the law requires. Tues
day the board looked over the Pan
tier Forest ievee, eighteen miles be-
How Arkansas City. This work is
thirty feet high and was built across
slough by the United States gov
ernmen, in 1884,. and it has sunk
below the high water line. After
Ian examination the party returned
to Arkansas City where they met
| Lieut. Newcomer, of the United
i States engineers. The board agreed
to furnish BIN the money TO have
the leyee raised three and half feet
above high water. The next point
visited was the levee in front of Ar.
kansas City. Two thousand feet OF
this work is below grade aud the
f Desark levee board agreed to give
the receipts from the assessment this
year, amounting to ZOO, toward
repairing the work, which will be
done by the Tensas board. Supt
Mckee, of the Iron Mountain. who
met the gentlemen here, said thu
j railroad company would assist IN th'
work. The railroad levee below
Arkansas City has just been raised
four and half feet above higf
water, at a cost of $4,000. Th'
board has contracted for raising thu
, Fulton Lake levee four and a hal
feet, at cost of sl5, eco, the worl
I to be completed by the first o
March.

The Picaynne celebrated its Goth
birthday on the 25th inst. 1t be-
gan It's existance when there was no
such thing as the electric telegraph
in use, no telephones, when there
was no practical applications OF
electricity, etc. Commenting on
the subject, the Pic. says: "The
entire development Of the industrial
electricity has been made in the
lifetime of the Picayune, and
almost the whole of the railway ex-
tension, for IN the first month OF
1887 there was in the United States
only 1900 miles of railroad, while
today there are 10000 of such
mileage. The same can be said OF
the entire system of photography,
which was utterly unknown fol
years after the Picayune's entrance
into the world of aewspaperdom,
the interesting invention of Nj.
Daguerre not having been perfected
until 1889. In the lifetime of the
PIcayune there has been made enor
nous progress IN scientific discovery
and in machinery, more, indeed,
than in the entire history of the
world previously. When the Plea
yune was born there were only two
States, besides part of Louisiana,
west of the Mississippi river

For sometime after the els ction of
Mckinley, the protegee of Hanna
and the manipulator of trust, CON-
hines and corporations, the Repnb-
liean party gave 1t out that the
Democratic party was so dead that
it could never revive after the defeat
it received in November and 1t was
only a question Of short time when
it would 60 to pieces, and IN speak
ing on this subject, Representative
Swonson, of Virginia, oge of the
ablest young Democrats in the
House, says:
ssThere will be no reorganization
of the Democratic party. 1t IL, to-
dav, stronger and more compact,
more aggressive and bnoyant than
any defeated party ever was before.
Without Intimidation, coertion, OF
corruption a vast majority OF the
voters Of this country, to-day, are IN
accord with it. Having divorced IT
self from the present administration
it is building near the affections and
the interests of the masses. The
Democratic party will continue III
aggressive fight for both gold and
silver as legal tender money and
against special privileges to trusts
combines and corporations. Those
who failed 10 act with us in the las
election will most Of them return t.
the party. Many have alread!

destroyed or sequestered by the
Spaniards to the extent of $780,
600 600 in value, and with the ex-
ception of the Mora claim not dol

back by Spain. The present war

the popular current report is that
