FROM WASHINGTON.
AsniNirj.v, Mx-oh S3.—In ths 8eaito
the bill passed to pay the State of Georgia
$27,175.60, money advanced by said State
for the defense of her frontiers against the
Indians 'from 1795 to 1818, and not hereto
fore repaid.
Mr. Morgan, from the committee on for
eign relations, reported favorably, os
amended, his resolution declaring in favor
of reciprocal trade regulations with Mex
ico. The amendment requires the regula
tions to be made, not by treaty, but by leg
islation—tho committee having adopted
the view originally suggested by Mr. Mor
gan, that any arrangements between the
two countries ought to be made by the
statutes of each. The resolution directs
the President to call tho attention of the
Mexican government to the subject.
The Indian appropriation bill was re
sumed. Mr. Call, by unanimous consent,
was allowed to offer and advocate an
amendment, appropriating $5,00 of the
amount of money agreed ni>on inthe treaty
between the United States and the Semi-
nolei of Florida, to be paid to that part of
the tribe remaining in Florida, for school
and asricuitural implements to be ex
pended under the direction of tho Secreta
ry of the Interior. Adopted.
The Senate next took up tho Mr. Hoar’s
amendment to appropriate $2‘0,C30 for
the education of all the Indian children,
except those of the five civilized tribes,
west of the Mississippi river. Mr. Hoar
took the floor m advocacy of this amend'
ment.
Mr. Plumb followed Mr. Hoar, and took
issue with him as to the wisdom of the
method ho proposed of educating and car
ing for the Indians. Mr. Hoar finally an
nounced that be would to-morrow modify
his amendment, by reducing the appropri
ation to $50,003. Executive session ad
journed.

The Senate bill amending the statutes
relating to tho fees cf officers of steam
sels was passed.
The House went into committee of tho
whole and took np the tariff commission
bill, and Mr. Dannell, of Minnesota, open
ed the discussion with a long speech.
Mr. Hewitt, of Now York, was the next
ppeaker. Before beginning his speech he
sent to the clerk’s dosk and had read the
following resolution, wh’ch he stated that
he would offer, ns soon as debate was clos
ed:_
Resolved, That the bill creating the tar
iff commission be recomn itted with in-
stractions to the committee cn ways and
means to report within thirty days or ear
lier if it be practicable, n bill based on the
following instruction*: First, that all raw
material, meaning thereby all materials
which have not been subjected to any pro
cess of manufacture and all waste prod
ncts r meaning thereby all waste materials
which are fit only to be manufactured, and
all chemicals which are not produced in
this country, and alcohol for use in the
manufactures shall be placed upon the free
list. Second, that so far as possible
specific duties' should bo substituted
for ml valorem duties, and that in deter
mining such specific duties an average | lu-
tiaule value of imports daring the last
three years shall be taken ns the standard
of value, upon which no higher rate of
doty shall be imposed than shall be nec
sary to compensate for the difference in
the cost of labor at homo and abroad ex
pended in the prodaotion of each products
after making due allowance for the ex
penses of transportation, and. that the rate
of daty shall not in any csbo, except on lux
uries exceed fifty per cent, of such average
dutiable valuable. Mr. Hewitt then said:
“I am opposed to any bill creating a tariff
commission, for the reason that it will
make delay, and delay is dangorojs in the
present portions condition of general bos-
ineia.*’
At the conclusion of Mr. Hewitt’s speech,
the oommittee roe. Mr. King, of Louis
iana, offered a resolution directing the
committee on public health to investigate
the probable effect of the present overflow
of tho Mississippi river on the health of tbe
people living in tho overflowed section.
Adjourned.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Washington, March 33.—Thoijecretary
of State this afternoon tclegCjihed to
Mini-ter Lowell, at London, to apply for a
delay in the execution of the sentence of
death in the ense of Dr. Lamson, until the
arrival of documentary evidence from this
country tending to show insanity on the
part of the prisoner, and tbe absence of
criminal intent of the offense of which he
was oonvicted. This action on the part of
the President was based on an opinion by
Attorney-General Brewster, that this man
was n proper cese for executive inter
fore uce.
The Secretary of War has directed that
the balance of the rations at St. Loots—
K),o;j—be transferred to Commissioner
Hemingway, at Memphis, for tbe benefit
of the]icopleof Mississippi.
Representative Reagac, of Texas, to-day
conolnded his argument before tho House
commerce cimmitteo in advocacy of his
inter-State commerce bill. He has occu-
pied a greater part of the timeof the com
mittee f r the past three days. At the con
elusion of his argument, Judge Reagan
submitted tbe following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this com
mittee that some measure relating to in-
ter-Stato commerce shall be adopted by
this committee and reported to the Honse
at the earliest practicable moment for the
river and harbor bill shall have been re
ported to tbe House. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
C .plain Leathers will. bo heard by the
committee for fifteen minute* to-morrow
on the subject of tho Mississippi river im
provements.
CATHOLIC mOVTNCIAL COUNCIL.
Washington, March 31.—la the Senato, a
communication was received from the At
torney General in response to a resolution
of the 28th instant, transmitting the cor
respondence with Dallas Sanders, which
was temporarily tabled and ordered print
ed.
On motion of Mr. Bntler, a resolution
passed reimbursing Mr. Ingalls, of Kant a?,
for expenses in defending his title to a scat
to the amount of $8,195.
On motion of Mr. Jonas, the Senato bill
for pnblic buildings in Shreveport, Louisi
ana, appropriating $100,000, passed.
On motion of Mr. Garland, the House
joint resolution authorizing the issue of ra-
tiona in the district of the Mississippi over
flow, was passed.
Mr. Brown asked and obtained an indefi
nite leave of absence for his colleague, Mr.
Bill. He sold the accounts he had receiv
ed of that Senator’s condition were favora
ble, but that the physicians could not say
at what time he would be able to return to
the Senate.
Ths Senate renewed tbe consideration of
the Indian appropriation biR. Mr. Hoar
withdrew his two million dollar education
al amendment, and offered a substitute
calling for half a million of dollars for the
same purposes, and debate on this propo
sition proctAled.
A long debate ensued, some members in
clining favorably to Mr. Hoar’s proposi
tion os an experiment in the right direc.
the appropriation at $250,(00. Tho amend
ment, as modified, was adopted by a vote
of 29 to 18. The amendment as adopted
is rs follows: “The Secretary of the Inte
rior is farther authorized and directed to
provide for the care, support and educa
tion of all Indian children dwelling west
of the Mississippi nnd not belonging to the
five civilized tribes in the Indian Territory;
or so many thereot as may be practicable,
nnder soch regulations as may be approved
by the President, in nny of ths Stntes or
Territories, at a cost not exceeding $200
per annum for each child, and for this pur
pose there is appropriated $250,000. or so
much thereof as may be necessary.” The
bill then was reported from the committee
and passed. The executive session ad
journed.
Cincinnati, March W.—The Catholic
incial Council which met here recent-
L"'repared i lengthy pastoral letter
11 the churches. It received
at ion to-day in the Catbolio
j begins with a review of the
jligion since the last council
avo, and congratulates the
transition trim the mhWOtt
condition of fixity. It then
goes on to* peak of the necessity of obedi
ence to anthority. It holds that, all men
are not equal and that men ordained to
rnle ns king*, magistrates, bishops and
priests have rights which these subjects
do not. It is very outspoken on the sub
ject of labor unions, and says that man’s
labor is his own as much os tbe gold of a
rich man, and that he has a right to sel it
ns be pleases at fair prices, and so long as
men accord to others the same freedom as
trier claim for themselves, there is no sin
in labor banding togethor for self protec
tion, bat labor unions aro Bible to fail and
cannot be sustained when they attempt to
force men to join the nnim or to work for
a price fixed by the anion. Catholics can
not be partnors in any attorn* t tj coerce
others against the r just rights, or to do in
jury to the persons and proporty of others.
The letter hn» a 1 >ng paragraph on news-
patter* in which it specifically denounces
them. It calls it nn illegitimate means
used by the Irish World in its advocacy of
the cause of Ireland, ant adds: “We are
ready to co-operate with the bishops of Ire
land in any legitimate effort- to ameliorate
the pre= n • unhappy condition of the Irish
people." Reverting to the subject of an -
tbority, the letter says it is not Catholic
doctrine; that all the power comes from tho
people and that rulers do not exercise au
thority os their own, but as entrusted to
them by the people. The Catnolic doctrine
is that the grant of power is not givan by
the people, but they only designate who is
to wield it. As to the priest, the people are
commanded to seek law from his lips, and
in all matters of civil life appertaining to
to faith and morals tho pnest has a right to
speak and the people are required to listen.
This doctrine, it is arid, may be uupopular
with modern ;iberiiisra t but that do.snot
prove it untrue.
DESTRUCTIVE TIRE.
Amherst Maas., Mnrcli 30.—A fire de
stroyed Walker Hall, the finest of the Am
herst College building*. Loss abont a
quarter of a million dollars.
The total loss to Amherst College by the
burning of Walker Hall and contents is
about $135X30; insurance $103,000. The
loss beyond the intrinsic value in paint
ings, record*, philosophical apparatus and
miueralogieal cabinet, will be severely felt.
The cabinet was the work of mauy years
labor and just been re-classified.
MONOPOLIZING TELEGRAPH LINES.
At 12:35 the Honse went into committee
of the whole on the army appropriation
bill. Tho committee rose temporarily,
nnd, on motion of Mr. Hiscock, of New
York, a joint resolution was passed appro
priating ilCO/DCO to enable the Secretary of
War to issue rations to persons rendered
destitute by the overflow of tbe Mississippi
river. The committee then resumed its
session, and Mr. Bntterworth concluded
his explanation of the hill, which appro
priates $27,400,038, being $718,298 in sxcess
of the appropriation for the current year,
Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, argued in op
position to that feature of the bill trans
ferring to the court of claims the claims
now pending in the quartermaster-gen
eral's department, contending that such
transfer wonid work great injustice to
claimants, particularly to those tho adjudi
cation of whose cases had been abont
completed. The aggregate amount of
driers remaining was abont $9,009,020, and
fli,did not think that Congress should
change the whole policy of the government
and c site a new triban il for the adjudica
tion of this class of claims, after having
held oat for twenty years; that tho quarter
master-general’s department was the
tribunal to which claimants should make
their spplioitions. If it were proposed to
protect the treasury against disloyal claim
ants, the investigation shonld be kept up.
It was utterly impossible for a disloyal or
dishonest claim to creep in nnder tbe pres
ent system of adjudication. These claim
ants had used every conceivable character
of precaution, bat had been fleeced once
or twice by claim agents, and ho protested
against givingdnim agents another oppor
tunity to fleece them again. The debate
on this proposition occupied the time an tit
the committee rose, when the Honse ad
joarned.
On motion of Mr. Crapo, of Massachu
setts, the Senate bill to facilitate tbe pay
ment of dividends to the creditors of the
Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company,
was |>as*fcd.
Mr. Hiscock, cf New York, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, rerorted
a kill making nn appropriation of $170,CX)
to supply deficiencies for dies, paper and
stamps in the internal revenue bureau for
the current year; and nn appropriation of
$113,003 to continue work on the Washing
ton monument for the next fiscal year.
Ordered printed and recommended.
On motion of Mr. Townsend, of Ohio,
the Senate amendments to the House bill to
promote the efficiency of tiie life saving
service, were non-concnrred in.
The House then at 12S10 went into com
mittee of tbe whole on the army appro
priation bill. After some discussion for
compulsory retirement, w : thout act
the committee rose and the House at 3:10
rejourned.
The House committee on improvements
of tho Mississippi river to day decided
thnt it will be more effective for the com
mission to remain in Washington sud look
after the appropriations for tbe overflowed
districts than to proceed to the Mississippi
river for tho pnrjiose of examining and re
porting as to the came of the present
flood. Representative King’s resontion,
providing for the apiioiutment of such a
commission, was consequently rejected.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolvrd, That the people of St Marys
are dearly of opinion, founded on actual
observations, that the Morgan m<l road
embankment is|amoet serious artificial
obstruction to free the flow of water from
the inundated districts west of the Missis
sippi river, is now causing the water to
rise at the rate of one inch per hour,
threatening the innndation of ths sugar
lands on the west side of Teche nnd the
consequent destitutions of property and
crops of tho value of millions. To the
agriculturalists of this parish we hereby
specially nud distinctly notify said corpo
ration to remove said artificial obstructions
to free tbe flow of water to tide level, and
in default of water being so allows I a free
passage to tide level, we hold said corpora
tion liable for tho damage and loss result
ing.
XJUISOK RESPITED
! Kit Warren’s Advice to Toons Hen.
Lekiburo, March 24,1882.—I am going to
crawl away from the seething eddies of the
political cauldron long enough to spin off
a few reels of motherly admonition to the
yonng youths who are spiling to nxoriate.
Young mao, you have imbibed a good
many errors on tho subject of courtigg,
and I hereby constitute myself a coart for
the correction of those errors.
Yon think you’re only courting Betsy.
You’re awfully mistaken. You’re courting
Betsey and the old man and the old wo
man and all the brothers and sisters, and
perhaps a half dozen ancles and annts nnd
cousins, and if, upon a full vote of the
whole family caucus, you are not unani
mously approved, it is quite likely the wed
ding won’t be did. Yoor boa mots and jeu
d'esprits, yam flux de bouche and the bal
ance of yonr flummery and tomfoolery
may captivate tho girl, bnt old man Thomp
son wants the attachment to go into- judg
ment only after it lias cotrmenced on sub
stantial grounds. He requires that yon
shall be orthodox on the bread and meat
question; he wants your income to be big
ger than your outcome, and your morals a
good deal better than yonr immoral*.
And right here let me tell you, yon'r not
going to fool that old fellow abont yonr
circumstances or behavior—you’l not slip
np on tho blind side of him—by a very
large majority, yon won’t. In his particu
lar line he’s a better detective than any
that ever hunted Charlie Ross. With on
eye forever sknn, he hasj the happy faculty
of always dropping round when he s least
expected and most severely unwanted.
When her littls hand “ties lightly, confid
ingly” in yours and tender,gushing wordsof
of fondness are about to melt and ubw down,
from your ardent tips, the old .nan comes
scrambling ioto the parlor, hunting his
pipe. Yon stand at the counter, yonr gla*s
of sic- half-lifted to your lips, and up steps
Thompson asking if tho barkee er’s “got
any nigs to sell.” Von are out at the race
track, are vociferously displaying the five
dollars jou intended to “bet on thebob-
tniled bay” when here comes the veteran
nuisanoe, hunting the doctor—“brother
Jones is wusb.” With four or five boon
companions you are away up a lonesome,
unfrequent yi alley. The crackers are al
ready fastened to the following portion of
a desultory nnd immethodical dog, the
match is being scraped and the fnn abont
to begin. Not a dream of detection in
vades the sanctity of the occasion, when
sndieLly a familiar voice is heard “joung
men, have you seen anything of my spot
ted pig?"
I tell yon emphatically, you can't fool
that old circumstance. I know him; I was
familiar with him in the days agoue and
his ‘bright smile haunts me still,” every
time I have tho night-marc. You see him
sitting there in tbe amen pew, hymn book
in his hand, head thrown back as though

Memphis, March 33.—-The Cineinnati
end New Orleans packet, “Golden City,"
en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati,
was burned at her wharf this morning at
4:39 o’clock. Between thirty and fifty
lives—principally women and children—
were lost.
Memphis, March 30,—The steamer Gold
en City, of the Southern Transportation
Company’s tine, when approaching the
wharf shis morning at 4:30 o’clock, was
discovered to be on fire. The discovery
was made by Second Engineer Albert Kel
ly, who immediately notified Cnpt. Bryce
Parcel), senior pilot on watch. The
boat’s bow was at once headed for the
shore, and in four minutes afterwards
touched the wharf at the foot of Beale
street, where a coal fleet was mooted. A
tine was hastily thrown and made fast to
one of the coal barges, but the current be
ing swift it soon parted and the burning
steamer floated on down the river, a mass
of flames, with many of her passengers and
crew on board, who were nnable to reach
tbe shore and were lost.
The Golden City left New Orleans lari
Saturday en ro u fe for Cincinnati and carried
a crew of about sixty. She had on bosrd
forty cabin passengers, fifteen cf whom
were ladies and there were nine children.
Her cargo ernsisted of three hundred Ions,
among which was a lot of jute, und tije fire
is said to have originated in tbiscombus-
tib’e material. Among those known to
be lost are Dr. Monohannnd wife, of Jack-
son, Ohio, Mrs. Crary, Circinnati, Miss
Lulu Crary, Cincinnati, W. H. Howe, wife
and two children, Ollie Wood and wife,

the subject. ... ..
Take my advice, and go slow in making
yonr selection. 1 know of no one thin;:
that ought to be done in a nurry except

tronomy. 1/eam her pa relaxes and eclip
ses, the orbit in which she moves, nnd
when *he rises and sets. But you’d better
not marry nn angel. Marry a flat-footed,
practical woman. Yon might wed one of
these elegant creatures, a form of match
less symmetry, eyes soft as the down on rn
angel’s wing und voice sweet and liquid as
tbe doxology of a swan, and when you put
her to sewing on a button she’ll sew it
on heels upward. Dont marry nn
angel, angels cant stuff sausages,
I mast closo this tiresome letter with a
word of wnming. “It is a fearful tbiog to
fall into the hacds of a living” coquette.
She will lift you higher than Haman and
make yon fall worse than Adam. The co
quette, [like the poet, is “nates non fit.”
She brings her coquetry with her when she
disembarks upon the shoro of life. It
throbs, like a sentient instinct, in every
pulse of her infant being. In the very si
lence of her cradle she smiles and she
kicks. (>h! she is indeed a wonderful crea
ture. Her face, her hands, her form and nil
her movements possess a siieech and a lan
guage. A thousand times does she tell you
sho loves you when only tho features are
vocal and the charming tongue lies mute;
a thousand times does she grow eloquent
with the utterance of sympathy, resigna
tion or affection, and yet tho carting lips
blush silently on and the kindling eye
speaks and sparkles in splendor or gloom.
A thousand times does she play tne angel
with her attractions in order to be able to
S lay the devil with y »u- Don’t court her,
on’t, I don’t pretend but what she’ll
make a re»l practical woman—alter sho is
biled down, bnt yonr courting will be in
vain—she won’t have yon. I know she
won’t. I’ve tried her myself. And then,
too, she is such a cruel calcitratres3. She
antecedes the denouement with so mnch
blarney that when its over yon fehl ns
though you had reached your hand to cuii
a rose and accidentally grabbed a wasp
nest. I verily believe her decision in nn
affaire d'amour is more difficult of fore
knowledge than tho verdict of a petit jury.
I’ve a great deal of advice behind Vet.
Wash-noton, April 1.—Secretary Fre-
linghujben received a cable dispatch from

had been granted in tbe case of Dr. 1am-
son, who was sentenced to death in the
Central Court of London on the 14th in»t,

the death of his brother-in-law. Secre
tary Frelingliujsen says, however, that this

The Cotton Crop and the Floods
The New York Herald says: Many of
the leading papers published in the cotton
belt do not share in the gloomy predictions
of some of the Northern journals in’regard
to tho losses like y to result from the over
flow of the Mississippi river. The New Or
leans Picayune places the numbe* of acres
of cotton land under water in Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas at 585,030. These
lands yield on nn average abont 4i’ i,CC3
bales. In 1874, it says, “about tho same
area was nnder water. Tbe river did not
commence to fall that year at Memphis
until April, nnd it w.s the middle of May
before planting was finished. Tho same
was true of the Alabama river
bottoms. It was estimated then
that tbe overflowed section pro
duced 350,000 bales of cotton. Bat the cot
ton crop of the season was reduced only
137.003 bales. At Now Orleans tho receipts
fell from 1,147,003 bales to 995,000 bates, a
decrease of 152,tC3, showing that on half
the laud inundated a crop was made from
planting alter themiddloof April. The
reports from the inundated regions lead to
the hope that the planters will be able to
get the crop in this season a* early as they
did in 1874. In fact, they are at work now
in many places. The overflow has, of
conrso, greatly enriched the lands, nnd if
anything like good weather prevails it is
not unreasonable to hope that a fair crop
will bo harvested.

Cincinnati, March 80.—The owners, offi
cers and crew ol the Golden City reside
here. The owners are Capt. J. D Hrgier,
Sterling McIntyre and \Y. T. McIntyre.
She was valued at $4O,0C0, and' insurer for
$30,003 in Cincinnati companies. She was
built in 187C, and was one of the best
equipped steamers plying between Cincin
nati and New Orleans.
Tbe government inspectors say that sho
was extr .ordinarily well supilied with
every modern npptiance calculated to avert
t e calamity which lias befallen her. Capt.
Heger, upon hearirg of the disaster, im
mediately telegraphed to Capt. McIntyre
to spare no exp.-nse to aid those in distress
lecover the bodice of those lost.
Henderson, Kentucky, Mrs. Anna Slith,
Massachusetts, Miss Campbell, Mrs. Helen
Percival. Mrs. U E. Young and three chil
dren. The books of the steamer were lost,
bo it is impossible to get a complete list of
the lost and saved. A'l the officers of the
steamer, except seoond engineer Bobert
Ke'iy, escaped. After he gave the alarm of
fire he remainedatbis post of duty until out
off by the flume?, the fire having spread
with lightning rapidity and thus he sacri
ficed his life to save other*.
Hie saved, so far as known, are: Cart,
a O. McIntyre, first clerk; W. F. McIn
tyre, second clerk; James Worthlin, third
clerk; Frank Stern, male; Bordmant, pi
lot; Bryce Purcell, Sr.; Marion Purcell;
JamesPnrce’l, Jr., first engineer; Mike
Kelly; Miss Iona Marion, of Hawosvil e
Kentucky; Willie McKinley, Hiwesville,
Kentucky; James Myers, New Orleans;
Charles Ross, Jr., C. E. Underwood, 8t.
Louis: H. B. Howell, Philadelphia, Rob
ert E. Kubrick, treasurer of Stqwe’s circus;
John E. Trewalla, business, agent, Burt
Howe, brother of the proprietor, trank
Howe James Swift, John Tilbert. John
Mullnne, J. 0. Kimpel, John Glenroj,
James Bloomfield, Jame* Burke, members
of Stowe’s circus; W. C. Jewejl, Point
Pleasant, West Virginia; George W. Green,
New Richnoud, Ohio; O. B. Veatch, Ev
vansville; John R. Chittenden. Garresville,
Kentucky; W. H. Carruthers, J. B. Jordan,
Ripley, Tennessee. Near y all tie cabin
nnd deck crew of the steamer saved them
selves. Stowe’s circus was taken aboard
at Vidalia, Louisiana. Six cages of ani
mals and birds, together with the ticket
and band wagons, tents and harness, were
l-st.
' Marion Purcell, one of tho pi’ots, was in
ihe clerk’s office whon the alarm first
sounded and he rushed through tho cabin-
bnrating in state-room doors and awaken
ing passengers. So rapidly did the flames
spread that within five minetes after the
discovery of the fire, which broke out amid
ships, the after part of the steamer wa* all
ablaze. Those who were saved had to flee
in their night clothes. When the burning
steamer touched tho wharf the fire com
municated to the coal barge3 in the tng
' riet, whioli was also burned. As near as
can be ascertained thero w«*re twenty-three
ladies on board the ill-fated steamer, but
two of whom, so far as is known, were
saved. J. H. Cronk, connected with Howe’s
circus, is missing and supposed to bo lost;
Jno. Devouse, his wifi and three children
were saved and are at the city hospital;
also Simon Black. Mr. Devouse is slightly
burned on bis hand.
The Golden City was live years old and
cost $ft,c:0. She was owned by Capt. J,
D. Hyler, W. F. McIntyre and 8. C. Me
Intyre. She ties sunk about three miles
below here in a chute near the Tennessee
shoro. When she floated off from the
wlmrf about twenty of her passengers
jumped aboard a barge which floated down
the stream, but they wero rescued by one
of the harbor boats, which towed tbe barge
to shore one mile below the city.
It is estimated that thirty-five lives were
lost by tho disaster, but at present no ad
ditional news can be learned. Bobert
Kelly, second engineer, and three roust
abouts arc the only members'of the hint’s
crew known to be lost. John Dreffer,
steward; Peter Dreffer, cook; John Lamb,
second cook; Billy luxford. pastry cook;
Mart Whalen, mess-room tender; John
Hill, second mnte; Charles Hatvey, second
watchman, and a passenger named Bloom-
have arrived. .
The fiio wn3 caused by the watchman et
cidentally setting fire to a lot of jute which
was stored amidships. The steamer Lid
just whist’ed to land, and the watchman
went among tho dock passengers to notify
them that they wero approaching Mem
phis, and that those destined for that city
must get ashore, when the bottom of n
lamp dropped in some jute, and before the
flames could be extinguished, they had
spread all over the deok of tho vessel
Bryce Purcell, the pilot, mnde his escape
by climbii g over the front part of tho pi
lot house, the fire then beiDg in the rear.
When t^o steamer touched the whnrf the
tug Oriole did not burn asat first reported,
but was sunk by the burning steamer. -In
making landing, several coal barges and
ice boats belonging to Bohls, Hose & Co.,
caught on fire and were burned. Billy
Hodge, the pilot on Dean Adams, saved
the cook, who jumped overboard as tho
boat floated down the stream, nnd all tbe
pissengsrs and crew was kindly cared for
by Mr. C. B. Galloway of the Peabody Ho
tel. who provided them with breakfast.
Two negro deck hands end a white
deck peesenger were killed when the tu t
Oriole was struck. They were canght be
tween the bow of the boat and the Bids of
tho tng. Anna Boyd, a colored chamber
maid, and her assistnntvere doubtless lost.
Mike Malloy and Pat K ; nney, firemen,
wero saved; also W. J. Wbelou, second
baker. Whelon says he jumped overboard
from the stern of tho steamer as she floated
down the stream. There were about ten
tnen on tho farta’l of the boat who must
have been drowned, as wh6n ho leaped in
to tho river ho saw tliree men go over
board anddtown. and tbe others, ho thinks,
mast have shared the same fate.
Felix Lehman, a passenger, says there
teas a merry party aboard, and nearly all
tho passengers remained np till midnight.
One or two gentlemen abo- rd played tho
piano and they entertained tho passengers
with music and singing. The body of an
elderly white woman was fo ind floating
near tho wreck. Her identity has not yet
been proved. Will McIntyre, clerk of the
boat, says the list of the lo*c cabin passen
gers already furnished is correct as nearly
as ho can remember. Mrs. L. E.Kouuz,
and h«r three children, who aro lori, was
tho wire of Capt. Kounz, the well-known
steamboat owner. Those mentioned as
being at tho hospital are all injured by
burus, but not seriously. Tho passengers
lost all their clothing. Those who wero
saved liad to flee for their lives, without
taking time to save their eff cts.
Abel Bntler, of Donaldsonville, Louis
iana, with his wife and child escaped frem
the burning steamer in their night clothes.
A. B. Veatch, formerly river reporter on
the Evansville, Indians, Tributie, was on
board. He remained long enough to dress
himself before leaving his stateroom. J.
H. Crank, owner of a side-show to the cir
cus, is supposed to be lost. HU room
mate, H.N. Ackerman, says he dragged
bimont of bed tothe loot of the stairs
through the smoke, and is satisfied that ho
never arose from where he left him.
L G. Gienroy, one of the saved,resides in
Philadelphia. He has for two years been
beeper of animals in t to ire’s menagerie.
He stated that he was ssleep nnder one of
the animal cages on the forward part of
tho lower deck, when the cry of lire was
given. He leaped forth, looked abont, but
saw no fire ; then he looked a?ain and saw
he entire center of the boat in a mass of
flames. As soon as the boat touched the
coal fleet he jemyed ashore. He raw the
officjrs of the steamer at work making the
hawsers fast; then he saw the tines give
way, ami the steamer swing out and drift
down. The cage containing lioos sank
down in the middle. of the flames which
enveloped it. Hi heard no cry from any
of the animals as they were being burned
alive. The six cages contained lion*, ti

Mr. Stephen* lo Retire and Write An
other Booh
Congressman Alexander H. Stephens in
tends to retire from public life at ’he ex
piration of the pre*ent Congress. In con
versation with a Herald reporter to-day,
he was asked if the reports to that effect
were true.
“Yes, that is true,” said he. “In fact,
when Iran for Congress in 1880, I made
np my mind to retire as eoon as the term
expired."
“How long have yon been in pnblio
life ?” ho was asked.
“I have been in pnblic life quite a num
ber of years. When twenty-four years of
age, I was elected to tho lower house of
this Georgia Legislature. I served five
years, and in 1841 declined a re-election.
A year later I was elected to the State Sen
ate. Iu 1843 I was elected to Coiig-es*.”
You were elected successively for a
number of years .to Congress, were yon
not ?”
Ye?. I stayed there sixteen successive
year*, and, declining a re-election, retired
voluntarily March 4, 1859. Secession, as I
anticipated at that time, did come, ana the
result i3 too well known to require com
ment here. Afrsrthe war I was, in 1866,
unanimously elected to the United States
Senate during the administration of Presi
dent Johnson, bnt being denied admission
went home and wrote my history of the
war between the States. After that I was
elected to the House from my old district,
and have been here ever since 1873."
“What U yonr reason for retiring to pri
vate life ?”
“I am now past seventy years of age
and feel bb if my declining health and
physical disability render it proper that
one more capab’e of performing the du
ll e 3 of the position should take my placi.
This is not a very elegant way of stating
it. You con say that retiring is due to my
age an s. infirmities. I wish thnt the re-,
mninder of my days, should they be ex
tended to the end of the present Congress,
be spent in quiet and rest. T he labors of
a member of Congress are too heavy for
mo to discharge as I ought to. I could
never consent to hold any office the duties
of which I am physically unable to dis
charge. I never assume a pubtie trust un
less I think myself equal to its duties.”
“After your long public service, are you
still a Democrat and in sympathy with
I u b&ve always b*en a Democrat,
but an independent Democrat. I have
never acknowledged a legiance io any
party. It y allegiance hap been doe to prin
ciple, rnd party organization I have never
held to bo o her than subordinate to
the
great essential principles of constitutional
government as announced by Jefferson and
maintained by the fathers of the Republic.
In that school of politics I was born and
reared, and in it I expect to die.”

“How many of the members of the Con
gress to which you were first elected are
iere or living?"
"Let me see. There aro no members
now of either branch—Senate or House—
who were here when I first entered Con
gress. Several who were then members
are yet living. I can now recall as among
the living, Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine ;
Hamilton Fisb, of New York; General
Cligman, of North Carolina; Armistead

John A. McClernand, of Illinois ; George
P. Marsh, of Vermont, and Mr. Ramsey,
late Secretary of War under President
Hayes. All these and some others, whose
names I do not reoall, aro among the men
now living who came in with me in the
twenty-eighth Congress. When I first
came to Congress, Yulee was
delegate from Florida, and he
afterward represented tho State in the Sen
ate. There was quite a shoal of new mem
bers of Congress who came in with mo in
1813 who made a deep impression on the
history of the country. Besides those just
named as now living who stood promi

K lriics, I might moction Stephen A. Doug-

of Michigan (subsequently Secretary of tho
Interior in President Pierce’s administra

cam©
of Ohio. 'Ho figured _____
war. Now, there is still another list of
men with whom I was associated when
I first entered Congress. That is to
say. among the living men of to-day who
were in Congress when I came in, and
were diriinguished at that time, are Ken
neth Raynor, of North Carotins, now so
licitor of the treasury, and Robert Win-
throp, of Boston, who was afterwords
Speaker of the House. This list, you see,
is quite small. Bat hore is a larger list, for
it embraces the names of those who were
distinguished leaders at the time I entered
Congress, nnd who are now dead. This
list, as I recall it, embraces the following
men: John Quincy Adams, Henry A. Wise
and George C. Dromgold, of Virginia;
Dave Johnson nnd Aaron V. Brown, of
Ten nos see; R. Barnwell Bbett, of Sonth
Carolina: the two brother*, Charles J. and
Joseph R. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania;
James J. McCoy, of North Carolina; Gar
ret Davis of Kentucky; Samnel Ginton,of
Ohip; Governor Vance, of Ohio; John B.
Weller, also of Ohio, and John Slidell.
Amongthe distinguished men who had been
in before I came to Congress was Thomas
Butl-r King, of Georgia. I hen there is
Robert M. T. Hunter, who ought to come
in tins list and also John White, of Ken
tucky, who had been Speaker. I almost
forgot to mention Lynn Boyd, from the
Paducah or Purchase district in Kentucky,
who was afterward Speaker, and David
Barnard, who was one of the distinguished
men from New York. David L. Seymour,
of New York. waB another able man who
came in during my time. In fact, he was
among this school of which I have been
speaking.”
“Were there many of these ?”
“Yes. There were at least thirty in the
school. There were more men who distin
guished themselves that came in when I
did than at any subsequent or former peri
od. They wero men who distingmshed
themselves either for good or barm. I am
ashamed to say that many of this school
did more harm th ngood. Now, this is
about ail I can tell j ou now. By tbe way,
there was rather a strange incident con
nected with my departure from Washing
ton, March 6th, 18o9. As my steamer was
going down the Potomac, I looked back
nnd while gazing on tbe receding domo of
tho capital, some friends, who saw my
meditative mood, approached and
said, ‘Yon most bo looking up there uud
thinking of your re-election to Congress?’
In reply to this I said, ’No; I am taking a
last look at that dome, for I never expect
to see it or bo in Washington avam until 1
come ns a prisoner of war.’ The steamer
sailod down the stream, and soon diatncco
and the shadows of night had hidden the
domo of the capitol from my view. Would
yon believe me. when I next visited Wash
ington aid gazed on that dome I was a pa
roled prisoner of war who hud just been re-

Well-Veriiru success.
A gentleman once asked a distinguished dis
pensing druggist to explain the secret
ot the almust universal demand for Dr.
Richmond's Samaritan Nervine, lie satd that
It was In fact a genuine medicine—such a com
pound os every good physician would prescribe
lor tho disease which it Is advertised to cure.
Of course it costs less than any druggist would
charge for the tame article supplied on a physi
cian's prescription, and, besides, there was a
saving of the doctor's fee in addition. More
over, by buying the drugs In sacb enormous
quantities, and having a perfect apparatus for
compounding the mixture, he was uot only en
abled to get better articles in the llrsl place, but
also to present tiie medicine in better form nnd
at less price than the same preparation could
be possibly obtained from any other source. Dr.
Richmond has devoted nil his energies to the
alleviation of human suffering. With this end
in view, and with his whole heart In
his great labor for tbo benefit of tbe
afflicted, ho has achieved marked
merit and success. There can be no
real success without true merit That his suc
cess Is real is evidenced by the fad that his
reputation as a man and a physician doe* not
deteriorate, and the fact that there is a steadily
increasing demand for the Samaritan Nervine
proves that it Is no noctmm, but a reliable
remed v. lie has repeatedly Informed the pub
lic that tt Is no patent medicine, and no patent
has ever been asked for or obtained. Neither
does he advertise it as a cure-all. There arc
hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it
will not cure. It may be urged that tome of
these diseases arc so widely different that It
seems absurd tea prescribe the same remedy..
They may differ In symptoms, yet in character
be precisely the same; and then we must take
Into consideration the fact that remedies may
possess various properties. Thus, some medi

THE OYEBFLOW.
New Orleans, ApriYl.—A special tothe
Timcs-Dcmocrai, from Morgan City, dated
yeste-day, says from this city to Chuca-
honla, 19 miles in tho direction of New
Orleans, the country is one vttf t stretch of
water, varying in depth from throe to six
feet. The water throughout this section
has risen five inches in tho last twonty-
fonr hours. At this hoar, 10 p. m., it is
rising at tho rate of one im>h every, four
hours. At Fayttteville, 14 miles east of
here, tho water is eight inches belcw tho
flood of 1874, while here it is fonr inches
above that mark. From Chucahoula to
this place there is no land visible, save a
small mound at Tigerville, and os you ap
proach Morgan City some small sections
of lend are barely showing above the
surf see of the water. In
many place* tbe water reached
half way to tho ceilings of tiie bouses, and
the fences are completely covered. Where
ever it is possible, the people are clinging
to their homes and living on improvised
floors. Nearly all took warning in time
and drove their stock to Terrebonne ridge,
or to this plnce, and from here large quan
tities have been shipped across the bay to
tho high lands on the west bonk of Teche
bayou. Tho wide diffusion of the water
g reventa strong currents, and hence bnild-
>gs and fences have not been materially
damaged. Morgan City to-day presents a
fair parallel to the third district of Now
Orleans daring the overflow from the lake,
abont a year ago.
Five-sixths of it is nnder water, varying
from six inches to six feet in depth. Skiffs
are utilize 1 on the streets for communica
tion along the principal business block-,
and sidewalk* have been erected some
four or five feet and in mostof tho buildings
false floors have been improvised' Ttfere
is, a* yet, no special distress among the
people. They meet their misfortune* with
cheerlnl patience, accepting the inevitable,
but hoping for a speedy subsidence of the
waters. .
New Iberia, April 1.—Lake Teche is still
rising at the rate of eleven inchrs in twen
ty-four hour*. Father Coughlin, polish
priezt at Lo-cnaville, on the east side, eight
miles from here, reports 1,200 persons now
homeless on nccount of the flood, and ap
plications for shelter in his church and sta
bles are nua erous. He is asking lor local
contribution?. Their distress is appalling.
The Red river water through Bayou Court-
enloau, as well as of that of the Mississippi
through Atchafaiaga and Grand Lake will
certainly bring us to tho level of the lake.
We are now past tbe high water mark of
1874 and wilt probably exceed it two feet
or more.
Franklin, La., April 1.—The water is
rising one inch per hour. Thirty-six hoars
will submerge Frank in and tho back
country prospects are alarming. At a
meeting of the citizens of St. Mary’s par
ish held to-day, a committee was appoint
ed to confer with tho Governor, State en
gineer and President Morgan of the Lou
isiana and Texas railroad company rela
tive to the alarming aspect of water
threatening the inundation of the M est as
li has the east side of Bajou Teche, and
request that an engineer be detailed to
examine and report whether or not there
exists any artificial obstructions to free
the passage of water to tido lovel, and
whether or not the removal of such ob
structions in the parish of St. Mary, Terre
bonne or Assumption, or if either of them
will not prevent the overflow of land on
the west side ot Teche, in St. Mary’s, and
the destruction of crojis therein.
