EXPERIENCE has shown that with the large
districts Of territory heretofore assigned to Su.
pervisors OF Internal Revenue in the Sou thern
States the interests of the Government IN that
section could not be properly protected. As
the law creating them limited the whole num-
Der OF districts to twenty i've, Commission
Delano found it necessary, in order 10 remedy
the evil, TO rearrange the boundaries of some OF
them as originally formed, by increasing the
area OF districts in the Eastern States and
reducing the Size of some in the South
Ac, ordingly, the States of Massach usetts, Con.
necticut and Rhode Island, which formerly
composed TWO districts, have been consolidated
into one. Alabama has been separated from
Georgia and Florida, and Mississippi has been
taken from Louisiana and Arkansas, SO that
the territory which formerly made two dis.
tricts now forms three-Alabama and Missis
sippi forming the new one.
The Supervisor for the new district is
Nathan ID. Stanwood. Of Montgomery, Ala
He was warmly recommended for the place by
Senators Warner end Cole and Speaker Blaine,
and is represented TO be a gentleman Of high
character for capacity, integrity and industry.

MADRID, Oct. 4.-The insurectionary move
ment is maintained at different points. Com
munication between Madrid and the provinces
is difficult, as the telegraph lines have been in
terrupted in their working very injuriously by
the republican bands. The republican volunteer
forces collected in the cities-Madrid, Barcelona,
and others-with the view of rescuing the pri-
soners taken by the military during the late
engagements at the barricades, have cut the
telegraph wires and stopped the mail trains
carrying the Government dispatches.
Very considerable alarm still exists at Bejar,
where the populace remains excited and in q
very unruly condition.
Republican deputies who have been elected to
the Cortes have organized counter-revolutionary
or democratic reactionary bands in Heresca and
Martaselli. Their forces have been defeated at
the last named place by the local authorities and
troops.
Most serious events may occur in Spain at
any moment, but Madrid remains quiet just at

Special Despatch TO The EUeni1lg Telegraph.
BAIT MORE, Oct. 4.-We have had another
destructive flood and overfowing of Jones Falls
with great CONSERVATION, and serious damage to
property. The rain commenced on Saturday
night, and continued almost necessarily until 3
o'clock this morning. falling in perfect torrents
Jones Falls which runs through the city, COM
menced rising, and at 3 o'clock this morning
was some Is feet aboveits usual height, overflow
ing the embankments filling in various streets
probably thousand cellars and in many
instances passing into stores, causing serious
damage to goods therein. AT the Central Police
Station, corner of Saratoga and Holiday streets,
the water was eight feet high. In some portions
of Gay street, near Bridge, it is also high, and
has caused serious damage. In Saratoga, North,
Pleasant, Mulberry, Centre, Fayette, Lexington,
Second, Lombard, and nearly all other streets
running across the falls, there was an overflow.
Also in Harrison and Frederick streets, where
many cellars and stores were flooded as likewise
in Marsh Market space, and one portion of Bal
timore street. near the falls. One temporary
bridge on Centre street was swept away.
All along the falls, from the entrance to the
exit throughout the city, there was an overflow
and much destruction. The entire damage it is
difficult to estimate, but probably all told and
| considered in every aspect, it will not be less
than three to four hundred thousand dollars
| Fortunately no lives were lost The scene and
CONSERVATION at o'clock this morning, when
| the water was the highest and the rain ceased,
were distressing. All persons in the flooded dis
| trict were up, moving goods and escaping for
their lives.
The terror was intense. The gas main which
crosses the falls broken, and all that part of
the city east thereof is left in darkness.
Many individuals lost heavily in goods. Half
the city was up, looking at the scene.
There are reports of damages and serious
floods in the country, on the Patapsco, Gwinn's
Falls, and the upper part of Jones Falls, and
| elsewhere. The water in Jones Falls is still
high, but has fallen some five or six feet. Along
! the small runs in the western part of the city,
| also, many stores and cellars were flooded.
Many people are out this morning, looking at
| the scenes of destruction.

the present inundaon is the greatest ever known in

chimney telling that 1t is home for some poor

damages At several points broad views are had OF
the torrent still roaring and rushing onward. The
tow-path is to he covered, and the flood spread

only the tree tops are to be seen above the waters
From the main land an ornamental bridge, con-
structed this season, spans the channel ordinarily
narrow and quiet, but now 1t Is so swollen that the
permanence OF the bridge is scarcely possible.
All along the river bank to Columbia bridge Is seen
the same picture of the flood and the destruction
caused by It,. Icehouses factories and cottages are
surrounded oy the waters in some cases 1t Is pouring
into the second-story windows But the clouds are
now to be broken the sky is again blue, and II
is ferventy hoped that soon the terrors OF this flood
may be over without any great destruction OF
Bridges life, or property to chronicle. All, however,
rests in the hands OF merciful Providence, and
man can do nothing to Withstand the ravages OF
these resistess waters.

The improved condition of affairs in New York is
having favorable effect on our local money market.
The demand for money from business and specula-

difficulty is experienced in obtaining funds on good
security. The great want of the market is not so
more to do with our stringent markets and panics
than the former.
ekThe banks are dscounting freely to their Gus
toners, and seem disposed rather to advance funds
on first-class business paper than to lend on call
with miscellaneous CollateraS; this OF course Is
owing TO the unsettled condition of the stock market
Call loans on Governments are very popular and rule
easy at 66T per cent but mixed securities they
