The isms i of which Mir. Sevier speaks would not be esteemed very becoming qualifications in a Judge in this State, however much they might serve 10 recommend him in Arkan. sas.

 "suNDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1884.
 Heaven Is at length !" smiling OCT us." Grand river is ten feet above low water mark this morning. and Is rising rapidly, evidently from the head waters. The Ar kansas above, and Verdigris, are likewise rising very fast-and the steam boats that have been lying aground on Arkansas be- low, for three months, can now come up.-- We want them badly, for we are almost destitute of meat and drink--literally "eat out" Those who are "water wise,o pre- dict that we will have high water until the latter part of next month. The floods of the mountains are about pouring their tor rents upon us."
 We glean the following Congressional items, from Mr seyiers letter under date of 8th June, in the last Gazette
 The bill for the establishment of an addi- tionai Land-office. 10 be established at He- lena; and the bill appropriating ten thousand dollars to mark and open road from Co., lumbia (Chicot) to Little Rock; were or dered to be engrossed for third reading. The bill, granting quarter section of land to those settlers who lost their improve ments by the Choetaw treaty, passed the Committee of the House, but was not or dered to be engrossed. It's passage Is con- sidered doubtful.
 The bill from the Senate, for the relief of the town of Fayetteville; the bill authoriz- ing certain roads-{from Helena to Cache, from Strong's to Batesville, and from Jack son, by Liberty, to FayetteviIle)--to be opened and the bill for the relief of Burk- ham and others, citizens of Seyier county, stand for their final passage.
 The two Resolutions which passed the Senate few days ago, the ane declaring the Reasons of theSecretary of the Treasu- ry for the removal of the public deposites from the Bank of the United States to be unsatisfactory and insufficient, and the oth- f CT requiring the deposites of public money to be hereafter deposited in the Bank of the United States, yesterday came up in the House of Representatives, and were ordered to he on the table, under circumstan- ces which make it certain that they will not be acted upon in that body during the pre- sent session.
 It may be set down as certain, also, that no act will pass, at the present session of Congress. for regulating the deposies in the local Banks; it being obvious that those who believe that the deposites were remoy- ed contrary to law, cannot consistently af- ford any sanction to that measure by an- nexing legal conditions to it.
 The public money, therefore, will remain in the local banks, Where 1t now is, or wherever else 1t may be, until the next ses- sion of Congress at least, unless 1t should be the pleasure of the President of the Uni ted States, in the plentitude of his omnpo- tential authority, to transfer its custody else where. We shall be agreeabIy disappoint- ed if, by the time Congress gets together again, there will be much of the public treas- ure. accessible to deposite or to transfer any where. .National InteLigeneer.
