No 2!) Nasp.au street, New York,
March 3, ■ 1382.—Mr.-'"’ President:
Absence prevented a prompt ac
knowledgment of ypur two .esteem
ed letters, which were found here
awaiting my return from Uticn.
Th*» high.and unexpected • honor
you proffer by selecting me as as
sociate justice of the Supreme
Court o( the United States is great
ly valued. It will ever he a mat
ter of prido and satisfaction that
you and the Senate deemed roc lit
for so grave and exalted a trust.
But for reasons which you would
not fail to appreciate, I um con
strained to decline. Although ur
gent demands on my time just now
prevent my accepting your cordial
invitation’to pass a few days with
you in Washington, let me hold
this as plensure deferred but not
lost. I have tbe honor to be your
obedient servant,
Rohcoe Conkji.nu.
To his excellency,tho President.
Senate Chamber, Wu shiny Ion,
March 0, 1832—Mr. President: I
have received through tho Sec
retary of State your very flatter
ing oiler of tho appointment of as
sociate justice of the Supreme

this highly valued proof of your
good opinion, but I feel, for rea
sons that I have expressed to Mr.

occupy it. I shall cherish this
mark of your kindness and good
opinion, though I did not need
this proof ol it, us one of the most
pleasant oPmy life. I am sir, very
faithfully yours,
Geo. F. Edmunds.
Hi Massachusetts Avenue March
11, 1882.—Mr. President: I am
deeply touched at the manifest
consideration you have shown me
in connection with the associate

luts not enabled me to change the
8 ! views I expressed to Mr. Frcling-
: nysen. With the sincere hope tlmt
j you have experienced no cmlinr-
| rassment from the delay your kind-
ness lias caused, I am faithfully
yours, Geo. F. Edmunds.

TUESDAY-
TIIE FLOODS.
Gen. Beckwith, of the commiss-
ary department, who lias charged
of the distribution of government
rations trom St. Louis to the flood
ed districts of the Lower Missis
sippi, hns received the following
dispatches from Capt. J. S. Land,
dated Memphis:
“I have just arrived hero. I
found Pemiscot county, Mo., in a
distressing condition,being almost
entirely submerged, ami about 1,-
000 people entirely destitute. The
supplies sent to Gayuzo are being
carefully distributed and will Inst
until about March 25. More should
bo sent there. The people, will bo
In just ns bad condition when the
water goesdown. The government,
to prevent starvation, should care
for them nt least until May 1st.
About Ally people are destitute at
Hathaway, Tonn., 150 at iTiptnn-
villc, 200 at Hale’s Points in Ten
nessee, 500 at Bayfield Point; nnd
1,500 in the vicinity of Osceola,
Arkansas, arc destitute anil badly
in want. Some stores have been
received at Osceola, but they arc
insufficient.”
General Beekwitli has also re
ceived the following from Captain
Lee, dated Memphis:
“I returned here on Saturday
night. My dispatch of tho flth
inst. falls short of representing tlio
actual destitution and tlio magni
tilde of this overflow. If an addi
tional appropriation is made 500,-
000 rations of meal and meat
should he sent hero as soon ns pos
sible, in largo installments, for the
sufferers in the Stato of Mississippi.
This is in nddition to any rations
that may not yet be sent from tlio
Ilrst appropriation. The destitu
tion is gcnurnl anil increasing, nnd
there arc 9,000 destitute persons
in Bolivar county alouc. My esti
mate will carry tho sufferers
through to tho 10th of April, and
possibly the flood may subside by
tlint time so that the sufferers enn
begin work.”
Capt. Lee lias been directed by
Gen. Beekwitli to take charge ol
the little steamer Anita, which loft
here yesterday, and proceed at once
on the mission designated for her—
the pickings up of parties of desti
tute people in the flooded districts
and taking them to dry land nnd
shelter, where they can he comfort
ably oared for.
Hon. George W. McCranic, of
the Ouchitn Telegraph sends the
following to tho Times-Democrat
from Monroe, La.:
“The situation here is extremely
critical. A visit to the levees
above and below this afternoon
showed that they are in great
danger, though a large force of men
is ut work on them. There is not
five inches to spare. The water is
oozing through tlio levees in many
places. The river here is six feet
higher than its natural bank, and
more than ten feet higher than the
rear of tlio city, where tlio over-
in a most alarming manner. The
air is thick with the fumes of tar.
Twenty barrels are burning at as
many different points. Special po
licemen are sworn in to compel the
strictest quarantine, and the lire
department is on duty constantly.
Nearly all the eases are in an unex-
ceptionablv clean part of the town,
and nearly all the cases bad not
been vaccinated.
TRAIN WRECKERS.
A regularly organized band of
train wreckers is operating in Kan- -,
sas. Last evening a rail was re
moved from the Gulfand Colorado
and Santa Fc track fifty miles
south of Fort Worth, on a high
bank, and an express train going
at the rate of twenty-live miles per
hour passed over the ties striking
the track all right in front of the
removed rail. The villians attempt
ed to wreck a train on the Texas
Central road, near Palmer, last
Thursday.
A RARE COIN.
At the sale of rare coins yester
day nt Clinton Hall, in New York,
the interest of bidders centered in
a silver half dollar issued from the
mint of thu Confederate States at
New Oilcans in 1801. It is assert
ed to lie one of four. Of the three
other coins one was said to bo in
the possession of Jefferson Davis
at tho time of his capture. It has
not since been heard of. Tho coin
offered yesterday was sent to Dr.
B. F. Taylor, chief coiner of the
Confederate States, and was ob
tained by Mr. Scott from him. The
bidding was started at $200 and
bids ol ten dollars readily jumped
the figures to $870, at whioh price
it was sold to “South.” No deal-
cr knows who “South” is. The
agent who bought it said that be
could not reveal his name.
