THE SOUTHERN DELUGE
The disastrous flood in the Mississippi
and tributaries entails terrible suffering
and loss of property in the widely ex
tended subnierged districts. The
State governments of Missouri, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana are
supplying. rations; for the suffering
• people. The national, government is
also lending its aid.and sending rations
and clothing to the sufferers through the
War Department.
The government has appropriated
heretofore many millions of dollars for
the building of levees along the Miss
issippi river, and Congress is again
asked this session _to appropriate
several millions more. The JeveC t sys
tem does not seem to aflord proteCtion•
The great length of the river and its
tributaries, ruining much of the, way
through loose alluvial bottoms, the
banks with each successive flood crum-
ble and wash into the stream, and; is
carried to the lower' country and de
-1
positet in the bed of the stream, caus
ing it continually to spread . out in
width over the_ low lands of the
• ,0
sissippi valley. To confine the water
in its proper channel a system of levees
I.
was devised, which consists of artificial
or made banks on both sides.of :the.
great father of the waters through the
entire section subject to overflow. 1,
These have tended to cause its beil
of to continually _fill up from, the cori.
stunt deposit Until the bed his beconmi
higher than the land along its banks.
When a crevasse occurs in the levees
as is the ease now, and likely to occur
very frequently, the entire country
be
comes submerged and untold : .,suffering
and damage ensues. In view of these
f l acts, the test of experience 'with the
levee system causes dcubts of the
efficacy of the system to protect the
people from the disastrous consequences
of the annual floods. It is!' fel,
that some other ;method than artiOeia
barriers must be deilsed. - •
The plan thought most feasible is
the construction of artificial . channels
or canals 6ommunicating with inland
lakes or large stationark -- bodieS of
water, ihat may be kept closed during
the 'aiy:sefison : and opened. to
. roeive
the surplus water_in A
board: of commissioners' 'on the subject
of protecting the banks of the Missis
sippi, from overflow, new 1140 the
subject under - consideration. slt has
become apparent that some more
effi
cient system of protection must be
devised and carried into execution, or
ultimately the whole lower Miisissippi
valley must be atlandened to the waste
of waters.
There appears to be a Class of politi
cians who think that the sure way to
• 1,
win the' favor of - President Arthur is to
malign his predecessor, the 14tclament
ed;Preident Garfield. !iWe• have too
good an opinion of President Arthur to
: think him capable of entertaining an
imosities of such a; chaeacter. .A.n . in

if they think they will again win power
by such unjustifiable and vile methods.
The effect can only be to heighten and

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
Tim Heine for several days last
Week wre'atled with the Senate .bill
to "Execute certain treaty . atipula-i
Hone relating to Chinese." , It might
weibe tenne 1 a bill to violate'"cer-
tail) ireaty:' stipulations!' . The
ablest and most convincing argument
made in either House on either side
of the question; was delivered on
Thnreday - laSt by Judge Taylor, the
successor of General Garfield, from
the old Giddings district of Ohio,
against the passage of the WV. This
is about the only speech made by
Judge Taylor of any length since be
became a member of- the 'House.
He had not previously given the
House an opportunity to judge of
his mental strength or of his charac
ter as a speaker. The 1 House was
therefore taken quite by surprise
when be made one of the ablest
gnments ever delivered in th i s House
upon any question. By the terms
of the bill " Chinese labors" are pro
hibited for a period of twenty years
from coming to this country. It
confers upon ou'r consuls in China
and other foreign countries authority
to inspect the shipping lists lof vest
eels and to require a certificate or
the intentions and purposes of
Chinamen proposing to emigrate to
America, and if for the purpose of
following the, occupation of "labor,"
they are prohibited from coming.
They are also to keep a registration
of all Chinamen permitted to sail
for our shores, and if any are brought
contrary to the term's of the bill a
penalty is imposed against the owner
or master of the vessel upon 1 which
they are permitted to sail, inflicting
a fine and imprisonment. 'Judge'
I
Taylor charged the bill "violaes the
treaty - existing between the /United
States and China, in spirit land in
fact. The terms of this bill are se
vere; and in my judgment cruel."
From his standpoint he proceeded to
show that the spirit of the bill is in.
violation of the traditions, and, gen
imi of American institutions. His
strong point was that, the bill is
predicated. upon race prejudice
engendered by the passions of a por
-1 tion of our people, and deprecated
in strong tt'r:L; 'tile policy 'of legisla.
dig in y response to passion and
prejudice. _
Teara to be a glowing
inconsistency kri-kl bordering on the ridicu
lous in the position of the( American
Congress Upon this questibn, (for I
take it the,bill is going to pass the
House, as' it has already Passed the
Senate.) `A concurrent 'resolution,
right in principle, offered by Mr.
Belford, of Colorado, ir4 relation to
the persecution of the Jews in Russia
and asking the intervention of the
Czar in their behalf is pending in the
Muse, and will no doubt be passed.
Public meetings are being held in
Philadelphia and elsewhere denounc
ing Russia and expressing sympathy
with the Jewish refugees from that
that country, and contributions are
being made for their comfort. This
in itself, is right, and is in keeping
with the claim that America offers an
asylum for the oppressed `of all rands.
But what a commentary in contrast
with such action is the treatment of
the Chinese in California. - The per
secutions'of this people there, almost
equal in brutality the treatment of
the Jews in Russia, and yet while we
offer asylum and contribute to the
comfort of one 'class and denounce
Russia for her prosecution of the
Jews, we are legislating to exclude
the Chinese from the country.
Russia may with, the same incon
sistency censure America for her
treatment of the Chinese.
THE CASE OF MASON.
The'rigorous sentence and treat
ment of Sergeant Mason by the
military authorities has caused a
profound syinpathy in his. behalf . - in
the hearts of the people. ; The haste
with which he was hurried off to
prison at Albany without au hour
notice, or even the privilege of au
affectiondte good-bye to his wife and
child, has intensified the feeling.
His attorney was preparing an,,.ap
plication to the District - Court of the
United- States for the Dintrict of
Columbia for a writ of habeas corpus,
to take him before the Court for an
examination of the proceedings in
court-martial, but before the applica
tion could be perfected he was hurried
away to prison. This sammany pro
ceeding has excited, a deep- feeling.
When considered in contri.st with
the treatment of the miserable
wretch, Gniteau, over whom he was
compelled to stand as a guard for
his safety through burning sun and
pelting storm, until he became
indig
nant at the performance of such a
service and firad through the window
of his cell, not with any expectation
of-killing him, but for the purpose of
frightening the assassin, itdoes seem
unnecessary harsh and severe: The
evidence showed that Guiteau was
Ong in his bunk at the time entirely
oat of range and three feet lowa
than the .window through which
M.ason fired. Yet the court-martial
went to' the limit of the law for the
offence of assault with intent to kill,
and senteneel him to eight years in
the penitentiary at labor, and added
*a forfeiture , of all pay ' and emolu
ments due or to become due to him
as a soldier, and dishonorable dis
charge from the Aeiny.. The people
cannot fail to contrast this summary
dealing with Mason in 'punishment
for a minor offence, regarded by
some as no offence at all, their. only
regret being that he did not kill . the
murderer of President Garfield then
and there, with the slow process and
apparent tender regard. for the feel
ings and rights of t h e malefactor,
Gaitenn. Meson, they Bay, hoe been
tried`convicted and (sentenced to the
. 1
s , crest punishment knownVs
'la ., ' for his offence, and thk - sen ce
~. 1 - i forthwith into i cxectition,
whilnGnitean still iivea,o - thol best
quarters in the jail and is allowed to
receive visitors and 'enjoy the com
forts of a prisoner of the best grade,
with occasionly a boquet from some
sympathising friend.
As an example 'of the feeling in
relation to the treatment of Mason,
itva only necessary to refer to the
petitions that are flooding-in upon
the, President for his pardon. Here
is a monster , petition from Chicago,
the, largest probably ever gathered
on any subject.
HE MUST BE PARDONID. •
Cmcaoo, March E. Dick-.
son of this city started for Washing
tonito-night with a petition for the
pardon of Sergeant Mason. The
petiticm is 2,400 feet long, and is said
to contain 120,000 names. It is
elOorately gotten up, and required
tw expert paper-hangers two hours
to fold it properly. The Tribune's
Sergeant Mason's fund, amounts to
$320.
Organized plans for contributing
money for the support of Mason's
fimily have beef arranged in many
sections, and money is coming to
their aid daily. Already more than
$l,OOO have been received by his wife.

are not guides, and if diseovered are

The Philadelphia Times of March
16th; has•the following in its corres
pondence from- Washington: -
"There are two great lions in the
Stalwart path—the dead Garfield and
the living Blaine. The memory of
Garfield could he successfully clouded
with the party organs and party
machinery, but Blaine - is a Stalwart
foe before whom the brairest Stalwarts
cower, and he is as wily as he is brave
and powerful: He dines With Arthur
and Arthur dines with him, but neither
is deceived by the other. Both know
that soon at the'latest they must lock
horns for a struggle from which both
cannot emerge with, political life, and .
Arthur,-with: all his patronage and
organs and machinery, trembles when
be contemplates the conflict. It 'is
Blaine that Arthur fears, and it is the
fear of Blaine that makes the hitherto
bold and confessedly sagacious Arthur
take his steps with a degree of caution
that is freely condemned as cowardice.
Blaine bas no7lines of retreat
_in his
strategy. He cannot force the battle,
for it must come from Arthur, but
when it does come, as come it must, he
will welcome it. He is ready now; he
has been ready since the day Garfield
died, and be will patiently await' the
Stalwart assault that must come in
time and that may come any day, and
when it does come Blaine will be to
Arthur's administration wliat Clay was
to Tyler's; . what Douglass . was to
Buchanan's, and what, Stevens was to
Johnson's. It may or it may not make
.Blaine President, but it will leave
Arthur's administration a hopeless
wreck. Blaine is the confessed repre
sentative of the policy of the late Pres
ident Garfield and the issue as accepted
by the nationis a direct issue between
a better Republican rule and :a combi
nation of apoilsmen. Such an issue,
with Blaine's matchless ability and
magnetism to' inspire the popular side,
can mean but' one result—the over.
throw of Arthur and the mastery of
Blaine.

in the newspaper accounts of the Miss

water got to be so threatening on the
Trask plantation; near. Helena, Ark.,
that William Ware and Westly Hend
ricks started for a more secure abiding
place. They were paddling leisurely
along in a . dugout when -out of the
water and into the boat sprang a gray
wolf. The beast was a big fellow, and,
as the glaring green .eyes betokened,
was ravenous for food. ' The occupants
'of the boat were taken aback so com
pletely that they did not Know which
way to turn, but the wolf quickly made
them act by springing at the throat of
Hendricks. The latter's paddle fortu
nately came down upon the wolfs head,
and it was well that the shock stunned
the animai, which was thrown quivering
into the water. But the blow over
turned the boat also, and an exciting
strugglep right the dugout before the
wolf could recover followed. • This the
nim succeeded in doing, and, in the
language of the Irish - bull-maker, before
the wolf recovered his senses , he lost
them altogether. Having removed the
slain, which - was five feet from tip to
tip; the men paddled with Out further

An Indian, who li es some fi fty
miles Ipelow Memphis, is mentioned by
many-pebple of the neigLborhood ag
the hero,of the occassion. 'One of his
good acts was the res c ue of a widow
and her two little children near Com

a short way from a levee, which broke

was strong enough to sweep the dwell

to g o to what seemed almost certain
death in an effort to ,reseue the family.
One young map put out in a skiff, but
the skiff was capsize d
,and the bold
Adventurer was drbwned. Shortly
afterwards the Indian came do ism the

Little Lulu Stone died at New. Mad

town were submerged, but as the cem
etery on a knoll was high and dry it
was decided to bui the child there. It
was impossible to use , carriages and.

the casket, with Senator Morrison, the
grandfather, and 'oarsman; in the sec

her other children; with a stout oars

boats, loaded with friends and relatives.
The prosession moved slowly down

to the knoll, where the little one was

A _correspondent: of the Chicago
Times took al ride in a skiff last Tues
day among the submerged plantations
near MeG,ee's Station, just below Mem
phis. At one playeihe found a farmer
walking upon stilts ; around his yard,
which was several inches under water.
While the reporter was talking to the
man a splash attracted the - attention of
both. When the. reporter saw - that
the splash had been cans , d by a child
falling from , a second-story window
into the water he was alarmed. - 'Never
mind,' said the father, quietly, 'that's
.Tir4; but he won't get drownded; he's
got four gohrds on' The reporter
was much interested to learn that
most of the little ones in the neighbor
hood had similar' rude life-preservers
tied to their persons.
As a rescuing party from Helena

saw a large box moored to the branches

A colony was established recently
at Six-Mile Lake Co Tunica county,,
Miss. The colonists knew nothing' of
the habits of the erratic Father , of

napping: The first warning was -the
sound of the torrent breaking through

MR. BREIVST_4R.
The New York Sun has the news. It
reports now, by way of Hatrisburg, that
since the r hiladelphia election, the ma
chine in Pennsylvania jalarmed; that
. it feels the necessity of making conces

nominating Attorney-General Brewster
for Governor, and Colonel McClure for
Congressman-at:large. Truly the Syn
shines for all. 'n
There is a better thing to do with Mr.
Brewster. He cannot be spared frorii

work, but his honcied name and his
great ability Ought to be made to serve
the Republican party of Pennsylvania
in this emergency, There is a way to
do it without taking the liOn out of the
path of the Star noes::. !'_eves. Send
him as a delegate fiom Pilil - adelphia to
the State Convention; elect him presi

his brilliant and powerful -speeches, -in
voking the delegates and the people. to
their high duty; let him speak with the
fervor of an ardent Republican, but with
the -discretion of a prudent Cabinet
Minister; . let him declare in the name
.of the Administration that it does not
interfere' with nominations, but urges
the selection of a candidate on whom
all Republicans can unite; let him give
the assurance that when such a candi
date is named the Administration will
do all inits power to elect him; let him
summon the Convention to its wisest
choice,. and then summon-the' Republi
