Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,


The contractor on route 1901, Baltimore to Phi.
ladelphia reports failure to reach Baltimore on the
morning Of the 10th instant, caused by the sudden
rise Of and immense quantities of floating ice and
driftwood in the Susquehanna, which rendered it
impossible for the boat to cross in the night He
apprehends that the same cause may produce SINH
lar detentions for day or two. As this was the
first trip under the new arrangement which will
give mails in the morning heretofore received
in the evening, the president of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Com pany,
Mr.. Dale, accompanied the mail expressly for the
purpose Of attending to the faithful and satisfactory
performance of the service He states that the rise
of water was so immense in the Susquehanna and
the running Of ice timber, trees and other drit so
great as TO render it too perlous to venture to
the river at night This flood exceeds any previous
one in magnitude. The destruction caused by it
of bridges, fences, &c is very great A like cause
prevented the arrival at Philadelphia in due time
on Sunday night Of the New York mails. The
floods had spread over the railroad track, and had
risen so high as to put out the fires of the loco
motives.

Senate--to its members--to the prcss--and 70 the
public. .....
We throw out these suggestions with all posi-.
bic respect for the members Of the Senate. We
claim no privileges in free government. Heaven
forbid y We wish to assume no prerogatiyes. We
would desire no fayons shown TO ourselves at the
expense of our brethren Of ths press. But it is
notorious-notorlous to all the wohd-that there
are no journals which prOts. TO give the proceed
ings of the Senate in detail and the speeches
Of the senator's in full, except two Of the daily
papers of this eity-and as it Is admitted on all
hands in the Senate that the position of our report
ers in crowded gallery, so far elevated above the
voices Of the speakers prevents very accurate
port of the speeches-and as it is very Important
to the country, for reasons that we have Stated TO
give a prompt and faithful report at once, We ask
whether these reasons do not constitute some claim
to the favor we ask, of seat on the floor Of the
Senate for the reporters of the Washington papers
We shall probably be raped over the knuekles for
making the suggestion at all; but we have been too
long accustomed to this species of amusement to re-
gard with any apprehension, or to be deferred by it
from an honest discharge of our duties to the coun-

amount Of debt incurred by previous adminisira-
tons has been paid of; and surplus OF available

two years at least, Is left at the disposition of the
State; and venture the belief that without resort

What powerful contrast does this state Of things
bear TO the present condition Of Mexicol Within
the last ten years Mexico has undergone five revo-
luuons Santa Anna superseded by military usur-
patton his predecessor in 1885. He in turn was SUI
perseded when defeated in his Texas campaign in
1856 In 1887 and 1888 he again uaurped the govern
nent and oppressed and pundered the people TO the
last extremity OF endurance. In l545 we find this
treacherous and tyranncal military chietain driven
from power and into exile by Herrera. In 1886
we find Paroles drives the latter from power, and
usurps the government. During these scenes OF
revolution, bloodshed, and oppression, the people
have remained as passive many cattle military
chieains, with the soldiers and the priests, have
been the sole actors. How could prince act with
more absolute power than a usurping general
Have not her people been under quasi monarchy
while under the dDmnion Of those holding absolute
sway Would revolutions be lees frequent under
a prince, unless sustained by foreign aid' The
poor Mexicans are to be pitied. They deserve
our sympathy. Were they sufficiently en-.
ightened, they would esteem US as friends, and
seek our countenance and good will IN pref
erence to throwing themselves into the relent-
less jaws Of raPacious rulers, seeking security in
usurpation by alliances with foreign powers. Du.
ring the last ten years Of misrule and revolution,
provinces have been left defeneeless; Indian nva.
sions have been unressted, while armed bandits
prowl through the interior sacrificing life and prop.
erty without fear or scrupe. The nation is hope.
essly in debt to those abroad, and with empty cof

think Of is the sending out prince, which meas
ure, If carried out, would be to perpetuute, or al
least greatly prolong, the evils that exist.
Yours, truly, MORGAN.

SPEECHES IN THE SENATE.

We take the present opportunity Of observing
for all, that in our opinion honorable senators
would do more Justice both to themselves and the
country, if there the speediest possible pub
LEGATION Of reports Of their speeches on important
public questions. 1t is very true that the wretched
accommodation afforded to the reporters in the
gallery of the Senate, renders it impossible for
them at all times to attain that perfection which
some Of them capable Of bestowng upon their
reports But judging from the complaints hereto
fore made, the committed by the reporters for
the city press are seldom of serious character in
the eyes of any but the speakers. The greatest
Iiberaly is certainly always manifested in the
prompt correction of even the most trAng inaccu-
races 30 that the danger Of suffering from any mis-
representation is not so very alarming--assuredly
not great as to justify the delay in the publica-
ton of speeches which is occasonea by the revision
of the authers. Whilst the full and life-like re.
neous statements relative to the views Of the speaker
get abroad, and the false Impressions thus made are
seldom efiaced by the tardy appearance of the
speech as revised, corrected, and greatly improved
by the uthor."
We know well that commendable anxiety to
avoid misconstruction, a proper desire to place
themselves exactly right before the public, are the
motives which induce honorable senator's to delay
the publication Of their speeches. But as they
suffer by this delay, and the public SUFFERS we do
think that the custom should cease And il is very
easy to remove all grounds for this delay, that have
the appearance of justice and plausibility Let
competent reporters for the two Washington Jour
nails be provided with seats on the floor of the Sen.
ate, where they hsarle them be held responsible
for the fidelity with which they discharge their mpor.
ant dutiesand in all cases let the speeches of sena-
tors be given to the world eraciy as delivered, and
with the greatest possible promphtude. The adoption
and strict observance Of this simple plan would be

PMLADLLPHIA, March Is, 1916.
] fear my worst apprehensons are destined to be
realized. The accounts from the freshet resulting
from the extraordinary rise in the Susquehanna
river, are more than confirmed. The old bridge
across the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, and the fine
bridge at Duncsns island, (Clark's ferry,) have
both been carried away, the fragments of the latter
sweeping with them that portion the Cumberland
Valley Railroad bridge at Harrisburg which had
been rebuilt since the destruction Of that splendid
structure by fire in December Of 1874. SO rapid
the rise Of the water at Harrisburg, that the
workmen in Ex-Governor Porter's new furnace
were obliged TO deeamp, the water actually APP
preaching the hearth, and explosion momentarily
expected, At Columbia the freshet was equally Sc
we're, and the rise in the river equally rapid. From
Marietta to Columbia, distance Of four miles, the
road was more or less under water. No knowledge
has yet been obtained ofthe amount Of damage done
to the public works, the canals beng four or Ave
feet under water At last accounts but the very
is to be feared, that is certain No estmate-indeed
no idea-of the loss be formed, if the disasters
should have extended themselves, as fear they
have. Ii may affect ability to meet our engage
ments growing out Of our State debt very seriously
This was the apprehension at the board Of brokers
to-day, where Pennsylvania FIVE per cents fell four
dollars share! Over two hundred thousand dollars
were thrown into the market by holders, the result
no doubt Of the disasters alluded to. They rallied
shortly afterwards, however, and commanded sixty
nine dollars.
Since have begun this letter, the news from the
interior Of the devastatons Of the freshet continues
to come in; and the result is that of most sppaI-
ing and widespread calamity. | await the details
with anxiety. Great approximations are entertained
for the country along the Juniata and West Branch
canals. Thousands have no doubt been ruined by
the progress Of the furious waters.
The Schuylkill has been unusually high, but the
waters are now subsdng. Fears arc entertained
for the canal along this river, but nothing is yet
known certainly

A full report of the speech delivered in the Senate
yesterday by Mr.. Calhoun, and prepared by our
reporters was in type and ready for insertion in the
columns of the Union of last evening, but at the
special request Of Mr.. Calhoun, its publication was
delayed We hope to have the pleasure Of publish,
ing his speech tomorrow evening. Other speeches
have also been delayed in like manner, from some
apprehension, perhaps, that the speakers would
not be distinctly heard in the reporters gallery.
