TIE MUNICIPAL TROUBLES IN
RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, March is.
This afternoon General Candy interfered In
the municipal troubles by sending guard OF
soldiers and raising the siege at the lower sta
tion-house, allowing free egress and ingress to
all having business there. This action, Gene
raj Candy asserts. has no reference TO the
question of the mayoralty. but was taken
purely as precaution against any acts OF dis
order or violence The friends Of Chahoon ap-
plaud this course very much. Ellyson protest
ed against the action Of Candy as an unwar-
rantablc interference with the civil law of the
State. When the military took possession OF
the station-house, Ellyson's police retired. The
colored men rocked them and the police charg-
ed them. About fifty shots were fired, and two
or three colored men wounded. Everything
is quiet now. Tomorrow both Mayors will
have police force on the streets and have in
dependent reports. Trouble is apprehended.
The City Council is in session tonight, con-
sidering what is best to be done, and has pass
ed an ordinance abolishing the station-houses
now in possession of Chahoon's police, and au-
thorlzlng Elyson to call out the fire brigade as
police, and pledglng the city to pay all special
police sworn in BY Ellyson, and their earnest
support of him in his efforts to maintain peace
in the city against the lawless men conspiring
against it. The casualties of the day are one
man killed and three wounded. Chahoon has
his headquarters at the lower station-house,
where the military guard is stationed. Ely
sons headquarters are at the City Hall. His
police patrol the city tonight.

Judge Orr in Oconcc.

The Walhalla Courier In noticing the OPEN
ing Of court in that place on Monday last, says:
"On the sessions side of the court there were
but nine cases, two for burglary continued
over from November term. Tile solicitor en-
tered u mol pros. in one of the cases for burgla-
ry and several minor indictments. At this
time TUESDAY evening" the business in the
sessions has been disposed of, except the two
cases for arson. The business on the civil
side of the court is also slim, and will probably
not detain the court longer than Saturday.
Judge Orr is present, and appears to be in fine
health. He dispatches business in way that
rebounds to the public interest. Every day of
court is held at heavy expense to the county,
and Judge Orr appears to keep this in view,
thereby annually saving to the county hun
dreds of dollars. Apart from his legal ability
and uniform courtesy, this, In Itself, makes us
q fortunate people in his assignment to our
circuit. He suffers no unfinished business 10

SOUTH CAROLINA MATTERS IN
CONGRESS-.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, March l6.
The Sisters Of Our Lady of Mercy Orphan
Aeylum. of Charleston, have been most ASST
duous in endeavoring to secure an appropria-
sion from Congress Of twenty thousand dollars,
for rebuilding their asylum. Yesterday the
delegation of Sisters here having charge OF
their interest, laid on the desk of every men,
berHi the House printed copy OF the memo
rial signed by the Governor and members of
the Legislature OF South Corolina, and includ-
ing also letters from distinguished citizens Of
Charleston, asking that this appropriation be
made. The Committee on Appropriations de-
cided to recommend the sum, and 1t was ac-
cordingly offered by Mr. Dawes, the chairman,
In the House to-day, and would have gone
through without other objection, had it not
been for point of order raised by Mr.. BenJa-
min, of Missouri, which threw the amendment
out This defect is not fatal. Another effort
will be made to put 1t into the general or mis-
eellaneous appropriation bill at q later period
of the session.
There does not seem to be much of pros
pect for an appropriation to finish the Charles
ton Customhouse, though the Secretary ol the
Treasury thinks it is wiser to go ahead and
spend the money now than to further delay
the work. He has also so far yielded his eco
nomical views as to decide to recommend the
erection of new building, for government
purposes, at Raleigh, N. c.
The internal revenue supervisor for the dis
trict reports continued improvement in rev.
enue matters in South Carolina, especially in
the increase of receipts. ZETA.

in the opinion of the people as to the capacity
Of the great plains for agricultural purposes.
The only reason why the great plains cannot
be made into good fruit farms Is the lack Oh
water and timber, as the land In richness has,
no superior. The increase of water of which.
we have spoken will do away with one objec-
tion. and the discovery Of coal over distance
east Of Salt Lake for over six hundred miles
will obviate the other. The man who travels
over the Union Pacific Railroad twenty-five
years from this time will find that the sage.
brush has given way to crops OF all kinds On Is
growing in the greatest luxuriance, and that
the sturdy farmers with happy homes have
taken the places of the wandering red men.
In our own State this increase Of moisture has;
been noticed, and the old settlers do not hesi-.
tate to say that in many places the streams
have increased more than one-fourth In size
during the past five years, and in some places
where there was no water then there is now
small but constantly running streams.

4 STRANGE PHENOMENON.
Physical Changes in the Great American
Desert.

The Inland Empire has the following remark
able statement concerning the process OF
change going on all over the great inland
desert between California and Missouri. 1t
says:
For some time past there has been ques-
tlon before the people Of this basin and OF the
plains east of the Rocky Mountains, that has
as vet failed to be satisfactorily answered. 1t
Is Why are the streams carrying more water
than In former years? The great plains are
fast losing their arid nature, and through them
are running streams In places where twenty
years ago there was not drop OF water; and
where at that time there were small streams,
they are now very much enlarged: IN la,l many
cases this change has been OF great value, as
1t has given to the traveller supply OF water
that had previously been denied.
When the first emigrants crossed the plains
to California the great objection urged to the
trip was the scarcity Of water on the great
part of the route. Within q lew years this has
been all changed, and in the beds of old streams
that were dry when first found there is now
water for all the purposes required.
The laramie plains are not now destitute Of
water, whereas some years ago there was
none. and the traveller had 10 carry water on
nassine over them. There can be no doubt
that for the last ten years there has oeen
Continued increase OF walter throughout the
whole desert country between the Missouri
and the Sierra Nevada. The Arkansas was dry
in 1862 from the Pawnee Fox to the Clmaron
crossing, and previous to that time the Pecos
was dried up so that at many places the In
habitants were obliged to dig for water. And
the Moro Valley and Plains were at that time
almost destitute of vegetation. Now the veg
citation is luxurious, and 1t Is one Of the very
best wheat growing sections.
Denver was built on the banks of an extinct
creek, which it was supposed would remain
dry; but after the settlement, to the astonish-
ment of the people, 1t became quite stream,
and is now crossed by bridges. The Huerfano,
the Roya Pecos, and others that were dry du-
ring the summer months ten years ago, are
nowconstanty running in fair streams. We
are satisfied that along the whole line of the
Union Pacific Railroad there Is much more
moisture in the earth than there was only a
few wears since. Again, Salt Lake is seven
feet higher than it was ten years ago, and 1t Is
constantly rising, and 1t has been urged by
those who have paid attention to the subject,
that the rise of water there would produce o
solution of the Mormon question before Con-
gress would act upon 1t. When the Salt Lake
shall rise few feet higher we shall look for
It's overflow to reach the Shell Creek range, as
evidently at one time as water did cover what
is now only an arid valley. not direct in its
course, but cut up with ranges, still the con-
tinued valley can be traced. This great in
crease Of water will work great revolution
