XXXj_lith cangress—Flest Session. [mom OF YESTERDAY'S *PROCEEDINGS.] BErrATE.—Mr. Howard called up the pro posed amendment to the Constitution. The pending question was upon the fol -110winglamendment, proposed yesterday by Mr. Doolittle as a substitute for the second section: "After the census is taken in the _year 1870, and each succeeding census, Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States which may be in •elnded within this Union, according to the number in each State of male electors over twenty-one years of age, qualified by the laws thereof to choose members of the most numerous branch of its Legislature, and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the seyeral States according to the value of the real and . personal taxable property situate in each State not belonging to the State or to the United States." Mr. Poland (Vt.) took the floor. He pro ceeded to review the different positions held on the subject of reconstruction and the status of the States lately in rebellion, main taining that the Government had always -acted upon the theory that the existence of the States was not destroyed by the war. Nothing but absolute necessity would justify a deviation from this theory now, and no such necessity existed. Ample se curity for the future could be obtained: - without it. It would not be safe, however, to admit The rebel States without ample _guarantees against a yecurrence or r the past few years. He believed the plan as it was .now before the Senate would receive the ap probation of the country. He believed the President would support if, and use his in- Iluence to secure its adoption. Mr. Stewart said he would briefly explain - the reason why he should vote for the pend ing proposition, though it was known that it was not the one of which he was originally in favor. It was a better plan than he ex pected would be agreed upon, and might _yet lead to general amnesty for universal suffrage. Mr. aowe stated the reasons why he should vote for the amendment of Mr. Doo little. -He would also vote for the report of the Committee of Fifteen. Pending.the discussion, the Senate went into Executive session, and soon after ad journed. HOUSE.—The bill establishing an educa tional department at Washington, being un -der discussion, Mr. Rogers opposed the bill, as looking to the establishment of another Federal bureau .for the purpose of carrying out particular ideas of philanthropy. In that respect, he re garded it as no better and no more constitu tional than the Freedmen's Bureau bill. He was content to leave education to the States, cities and towns, without any dependence upon a Federal bureau. He denied that the people of the South were uneducated; but, even if the masses were uneducated, it was not they who were responsible for the re ' hellion, but it was the educated classes who were responsible for it. The morning hour having expired, as Mr. Rogers closed his remarks, the bill went over till to-morrow. The House then proceeded to the consid eration of the bill to reduce and establish the pay of officers, and to regulate the pay of soldiers of the army. Mr. Davis addresssed the House in oppo sition to the bill, and was followed on the same aide by Mr. Rogers. The discussion of the bill was continued by Messrs. Garfield, Thayer, Dumont and Schenck. The House then seconded the previous question and proceeded to vote by yeas and -nays on the passage of the bill. The bill was passed: yeas 86, nays 69. The next business in order was the joint wesolution reported by Mr. Bingham (0.) =from the Reconstruction Committee, on the 26th of February, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. On motion of Mr. Bingham, it was bide -finitely postponed because the Constitutional amendment already adopted by the Home •covered the same ground. The next business in order was the bill reported by Mr. Kelley, of Pa., on March 3, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to ac cept League Island, in the river Delaware, for naval purposes. The Speaker stated that this bill would continue before the House until disposed of. Mr. Spalding (0.), from the Committee of Conference on the Military Academy Ap propriation bill, made a report, which was agreed to. The Speaker presented a letter from the ..Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to the House resolution of the 28th of May, in ref erence to the amount of gold sold since May 1, 1866, on account of the government. Laid -on the table, At half-past 4 o'clock the House ad journed. Floods and Levees of the Mississippi. Ever since the first settlement of the tow lands on the Mississippi river, the inhabi tants have maintained a perpetual struggle with the great volumes of water that flow from the Northwest through that country to the sea. Thousands of, miles of levee have been constructed to fence the water within the narrow limits of the channel of the river: hundreds of thousands of dollars were expended annually to protect the plantations on the banks of the stream; -dams were built, cut-offs were made, bayous - were closed, the outlets were dredged; in short, every expedient which theory or oxperience could ; suggest was resorted to in the tremendous efforts of the people and the States to defend their rich lowlands from the annual floods: Yet whenever the waters from the Missouri and from the Ohio would 3neet and.flood the channel of the Missis sippi the stream would rise over the banks and press against the levees with *a force - they could not withstand; or, failing to force a passsage, would rise over and sweep away the artificial barriers, and inundate the country, from the crevasse to the Gulf. The delta of the Mississippi, comprising the al luvial plane from the mouth of the Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico is 500 miles in length, varying from 25 to 150 miles in breadth. Its northern elevation is 275 feet -above the level of the sea, so that the incli nation is aboutB inches per mile. The whole -extent of this plane comprises an area of about 40,000 square miles. The Mississippi river winds through this Mane of its own'creation, frequen,tly press ing against the bluffs on the east, and once, at Helena, touching the highlands on the west; and, though the delta is about 500 miles long, the channel of the river in its -course from the Ohio to the Gulf, attains a length of nearly 1,200 miles, and reduces the rate of descent to 31 inches per mile. In low water the surface of the stream is -40 feet below the top of the natural bank, at the Ohio, and 20 feet at New Orleans; the stream flows sluggishly through this tortu ous trencb,which is 3,000 feet wide and from 4 75 to 120 feet deep, and discharges itself into the Gulf with an almost imperceptible cur rent. The water begins to rise in the autumn; early in the spring the river is bank full, and in the month of May, when the waters from the spring rains and ,snow thaws in the Northwest, and on the tributaries of the •Ohlo,pour into the Mississippi,it overflows and. if unrestrained, inundates the whqle plain. When the water flows over the banks, its velocity is checked by the forests -and irregrilartiesof the surface; and the vast . amount of earthly matter which is borne along in the swift current is deposited, the heavier particle first, and the light, clayeymatter at remoter points. The consequence is that immediate borders of the stream, which receive the heavier deposits, are raised above the level of the surface of the .surrounding country; and, therefore, while the whole . plain dips toward the sea at an :angle of eight inches per mile, the surface inclines from the stream ataa.angle of three •or four feet per mile. In low water. the surface of the river is below the level of the_ lowest point of the delta, and the drainage is from the swamps toward the Mississippi; but at high water the surface of the stream is from twelve to twenty feet above the level of a great part of the land surface. So soon, therefore, as the waters. rise over the banks, they rush down the plane at right angles to the course of the channel, fill the swamps, and inundate the country. It is estimated that about sixteen million acres of the most fertile and productive lands of the. States of Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana are subject to overflow. To protect these lands from the annual devastation by the waters has been the object of incessant toil and immense outlays of capital by the inhabitants of the Valley of the Mississippi. So early as 1840, Congress made an appro priation for the construction of a chart of the "Hydrographical Basin of the Missis sippi," whichh was executed by J. N. Nicol let, in the employ of the United States,To , imgraphical Bureau. In 1850, a corps of engineers was organ ized under Captain, now General A. A. Humphrey, which made a thorough survey of the delta with special reference to the discovery of some system of works by which the country could be protected from overflow. These observations were made during =4 subsequent to the great flood of 1851. The constant increase of the volume of the flood revealed by each successive rise,-id as cribed byCapt. Humphrey in Ms report to the superior drainage produced by the culti vation of the country on the upper tributa ries of Mississippi, whereby the waters are thrown more rapidly into the main channel; the leveeing of the river and its tributaries in the . States above Louisiana, so as to pre vent the escape of the waters into the swamps and lowlands whence It would be gradually drained to the river; the construc tion of cut-offs, .the shortening of the, chan nel, and more rapidly conveying the water to points below; and the lengthening of the delta, thus extending the level mouth of the river so that the 'current being retarded, the water is held back in the channel above. The remedies suggested are: Higher and stronger levees; prevention, by act of. Con gress, of the construction of additional cut offs; formation of new outlets to the lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain; opening of the closed bayous; enlargement of the Atcha falaya and Bayou Plaquemine, and the creation of artificial reservoirs in the swamps, to relieve the channels of the river iri extreme caees. The early settlers, who selected the more elevated and fertile lands on the banks of the river, found little difficluty in protecting themselves from the floods. The whole country was then open to the waters, and a slight embankment several inches high would turn off the water,which was drained to the lowlands further from the river. Other settlers, hswever, followed the pio neers; new plantations were established; and, by independent individual action, the slight embankments became linked together for many miles along both sides of the river. The waters, by reason of this confinement, rose higher and every succeeding year, the embankments were enlarged, strengthened and extended, until a line of levees, from 15 to 30 feet wide at the base, and varying in height from 5 to 20 feet, stretched,with little interruption, from the lands on the coast, below New Orleans, along the channel of the river, to the boundaries of Tennessee and Missouri. The system, owing to its origin, was purely a selfish one. Each settler provided for his individual protection. If by a cut off he could drain the water from his own ?lace and throw it on the lands below, or by closing a bayou he could reclaim addi tional acres, the thing was done without reference to the effect it might have on the country lower down the stream. Much damage was thus done by shortening the channel of the river and by closing some of ita natural outlets to the sea. The legislation of the States along the Mississippi, has been little better than the individual action. The enactments de pended more upon the comparative strength of the parties to be benefited aad.,tiniared than upon any well-established plain the control of the waters. Under authority of law, the' hannel of the river was shortened by e construction of cuts across the nar row necks formed by the great bends so frequent in the course of the stream. Bayous, which led from the main channel of the river to the mill, forming independent out lets or moutils, were closed, and the water forced into one channel, which was unable to carry it to the sea. Before the war, therefore, the Father of Waters had become unmanageable in the hands of those who sought to control his floods. During the war, when labor that bad been forced to the task day and night, and which at times was able to grapple suc cessfully with the elements,was withdrawn, the waters swept away the levees at Mor ganzia, West Baton Rouge, at Chinn's and at Robertson's plantation, and at other points both above and below the mouth of the Red River, and inundated the country west of the Mississippi from MorganziEt, to Berwick's Bay. An attempt was made during last winter to rebuild these broken embank ments. Under the combined efforts of the State authorities of Louisiana and the War Department at Washington, a large num ber of laborers were employed, and the work had been so far repaired that it was believed to be sufficiently strong to resist th pressure of the flood. Many planters and men from the North, believing that these levees would be rebuilt, engaged in the cultivation of the fertile lands in the parishes of Point Coupee, West Baton Rouge, , Iberville, Lafotirche, Terrebonne and parts of others that were overflowed last, year. Recent reports from Louisiana bring the sad intelligence that all these newly-constructed levees have been swept away, and that the water is rapidly filling up the swamps and spreading over the whole country, driving the homeless in habitants before it. It is a grave question for the consideration of the country whether Congress should not undertake the protection of the whole delta of the Mississippi against overflow. The present system, or rather want of system, seems to be a failure; and, unless some such combination of works as is , suggested by General Humphrey be adopted, planting on the fertile river lands must ever be a precarious undertaking, with the weight of the chances largely against suc cess. The distinguished engineer who con ducted the survey referred to estimated the total cost of works to protect the country from the Ohio to the Gulf at $26,000,000. The country thus reclaimed and protected would easily bear a tax of an amount suffi cient to pay the interest on this sum, to keep the works in repair, and, finally, to liqui date the debt. This, all other physical problems, must be capable of determina tion. The water brought down the Missis sippi is not infinite; its quantity, its velo city, its,pressure,are measurable;the height and strength of levees, and the capacity of outlet required to confine and discharge the annual floods brought down, are, therefore, determinable measurements. To solve the problem it is only necessary that a compe tent superintendent, clothed with ample au thority over every portion of the territory to be protected, be charged with the task,. so that the whole work may be carried on and completed in accordance with some well established system.—N.
