Our Swamrs.

...H Our Swamps.
We lately saw an expression
of some one in this State, that
if there could be found means
to raise our swamp lands
above overflow that there
would be found men opposed
to the doing ofit. And verify
we would be one of those
men. .-,,
We take it that our swamps
are just in the condition as
that by comparatively little la
Dor they could all be made to
yield the greatest possible
amount of produce. Our riv-
ers have formed the highest
lands of the swamps just at
their banks. BY increasing
the hight of these banks by
levees the whole swamp could
be pat in the best possible con-
;lition for being irrigated
TIE greatest hight OF water
i'll the Mississippi is in May
and June, when irrigation is
SO needed for corn, cane and
rice. The greatest hight of
water in Red River is in Feb
ruary and March at which
time all back lands could be
flooded to fertilize for cotton.
At seasons of high water,
| the water between the levees
would be much higher than
the back swamps and could
consequently be let upon the
back swamps just as desired
for watering the crops. The
bottom of the Mississippi and
Red liver Is a plane inclined
toward the Gulf and as a con-
sequence the water let out
of the rivers OH the back lands
could run through the back
channels into the rivers below
or into the Gulf.
There is Il peculiarity in
Red river and its b )ttom which
could, when Il dense pOpula-
ton here makes it necessary,
be taken advantage of for the
raising of much valuable pro-
ductiOn. This is the pPeva-
lence OF lakes that become dry
in the Summer and Fall. At
these seasons our river is low,
but it would furnish enough
water to irrigate the lake bot
toms, for the producing of
cabbage, turnips and ruta ba-
gas.

Jay Gould's Corner.

IlllS ought 10 De pTeIIy CO
zy as it made Gould some
twenty millions. A very
large game was played among
the New York Stock gam
blers lately resulting in Uncle
Daniel Drew and red headed
Henry Smith losing and
Gould winning twenty mill
ions. Jay was the Bull and
the other two the Bears. As
nigh as we can understand
the game it was this, Drew
and Smith had sold largely of
Northwestern stock to be de
livered at a future time eX-
pecting to buy cheap before
time for delivering came
Their policy then was to bear
down the stock. Gould
bought up their obligations
and of course he must bull up
the stock. This he very
effectually did by somehow
getting control Of the whole
stock Having cornered ii
the stock began to rise. The
bears attepted to break up
the corner by arresting Gould,
but it did not succeed, for
Gogld's agents quickly carried
the stock up. .from,ninety cents
on the dollar to.over two hun
dred by the time bears Were
to deliver.
Gould is a magnapimous
gamble and suffered none o.
the small bears to break, fol
he settled with them as they
said they were able. As to
Drew and Smith it is thought
they can weather the storm,
Drew certainly and honorably
and Smith by breaking full
handed. Gould was arrested
for stealing nine millions from
the Erie rail road. 1t might
have been so that he stole the
money but doubtless he called
it by another name.
Gambling is forbidden by
law in most of the states anC
yet the greatest kind of gam
bling called by another name
is not forbidden bat protected
by law. 1t is hard to pu
down ordinary gambling BY
law; bur stock gambling coul(
be easily done away with by
simply making a trade fol
stock null and void unless ;
delivery of the stock certifi
Gates took place when th'
bargain was made.

SSs u NV OppOhNhIS ~
Grants administration seem to
he in great fear Of centraIiza-
ton. They talk of this thing
in a general way as equivalent
to Monarchy; which is not the
case at all. y centralized
government could us well De
a republic as thei contrary
To all intents and spurposes
we have Il government now
centralized in Congress-
But that government only
chooses to exercise its sn-
preme power when it conSid-
erS the minor governments of
states as going contrary to its
policy. 1t then comes in and
makes DEGREES of such vague
ness and uncertainty as per-
petually to keep trouble
among the.people. We would
do away with this vaUupopSS
and therefore rather prefer
that such a change in the con
stitutiOn should be made as
would cUHfer supreme power
on congress without any
doubt in the matter. Let ev-
cry officer in the country be
all officer of tLel Union and
responsible. directly to Con
greSs and the general laws it
may pass and let the govern
ments of states, cities and
counties be only civil corpora
tions subject TO congress in
every particular.
Perhaps this government by
congress might at times be 4
dcspotiSm. Granted.
But as the case now stands
congress is despotic to the
South and the government
permitted here are also dies
p0tic, so between the two the
1 people are as corn between
theiupper and neither millstones
and ground TO powder.
We faYor the doctrine O1
local self-government thus far
I Congress shoult delegate to 10.
cal government, officers and
IiurieS the execution OF the
general laws it would enact
except in particular great eXi,
gencies. Indeed the necessity
of the case in so large a
country would force it to dc
this.
If caHgteSs were suprere as
above proposed there would
be but one set of conrts fol
trial Of causes arising between
citizens. A United State;
Judge would SET every 81,

SHoTWEll, THE FoRaER.

from the White Pine News OF Thursday
Hank kneer arrived from Pallsade
yesterday. He received Information
that Shotwell,, the torger, had disap.
pearsd, and thought It unnecessary to
make the trip to Montana. Private
advices inform US that Shotwell was
last e near Fort Limhi. Idaho.
About the middle Of last month, he
aud n companion were on q hunting
expedition. Toward evening they saw
a baud of mountain sheep and followed
them until dark. Shotwell wounded
one, and told his companion to remain
where he was wh'lo he followed OH the
track Of the animal. His companion
waited until near midnight for his ap-
pearanco, when a snow storm set In.
The mar started for camp, distant
about five miles from whore Shotwsll
separated from him. The storm was
so violent that be could not proceed.
and he concluded to kindlea fire ard
wait for daylight. He found that his
matches were damp. and he was una
BILE to start a fire. His only salvation
then was to keep moving. lie walked.
around n fir tree until daylight, aud
the storm continuing he kept up hls
lonely walk until daylight the next
morning, when the storm abated and
he started for camp where he arrived
exhausted. A party of men started out
in search Of Shotwell, but no trace OF
him could be found, aud It 10 supposed
he persisted In the storm.
