THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
Since Saturday the Ohio at Pittsburg
has risen six feet four inches, and has
now ten feet in the channel at that
point, and is swelling slowly at all points
below. The upper Mississippi is about
stationary, with twenty inches at Daven-
port, and a little more at Keokuk. The
Missouri is low, and likely to continue
so for some time, as there has been no
rain reported in the mountains yet. The
lower streams have not materially
changed during the week. The Arkan-
sas is down to eighteen inches below
Little Rock, and White river has three
feet to Jaeksonport. The weather is
clear and pleasant.

REFORM.

The programme of State reform which in our
opinnion should be presented TO each candidate
for approval and acceptance and which we
would have been pleased to see adoptedsby both
Conventions of Conservative parties, involves
l. A through revision Of all laws enacted for
the past four years.
3 2. A revision of all contracts made under such
laws, and of all obligations which result from
them, occording to the strietest equity,
3. A reduction of the debts of the State, this
city and the several parishes in conformity with
such revisions and within legal and constitu-
tional limits
4.A reduction of taxes and the establishment
of a maximum rate. which must not be exceed
ed: one per cent for the municipal taxes of
New Orleans, and one per cent for parish taxes
in other parishes.
The fixing of a maximum for taxes would
have a magical effect upou the public mind in
city and country alike. They would see in this
the sovereign and immediate cure for the depre-
citation of urban and rural property. Every
one mnst recognize the bearing of such a meas
ure and the immediate benefits which it would
confer upon agriculture, labor and commerce
Such prospect would at once revive confidence
re-establish credit and give renewed impetus to
business. This would be reform really COM
prehensible, to the people and they would have
faith in deeds while non disposed to put their
trust in mere words.-N. O. Bee.

- Our readers are already aware that on
the 10th inst, o colored man by the name o.
Willis johnson, was murdered by a band of
armed malefactors, on the, plantation of Mr.
Solomon johnson. residing on Coulee Croche, or
rather Queue Tortue, near the. limits of Lafa-
yette. El 8a.ts5 s@2%
Six men, all residents of the Parish Of Lafa-
yette have been arrested and lodged in our Jail,
on Tuesday last, as accused of this crime. They
are Baptiste Clement, Emile PrGjean, Kliber
Mouton, q young man by the name of Sisa, and
another by the name of jean, both last named
residing at Emile Prejean's, and negro man
named George. The five white men are accus-
cd as principals in the murder, and the freed
man Is accused as accessory before the fact.
These parties are before J. f. Knox, Justice
OF the Peace in onr Town, and the preliminary
examination will probably terminate to-day.
We have heard that the testimony. so far. ia
strongly against the accused. @

A New AND WONDERFUL WEAPoS.--Yester-
day, Captain j. V. Meigs, of Lowell. Mass, fir
ed his fifty shot 50-calibre magazine gun, which
he has been patiently perfecting since 1865 be-
fore Commodore Case, Chief of Ordnance, Uni-
ted States Navy; Col. Benet, CHER of Ordnance
United States Army; Commodore Reynolds and
Captain Pearson, United States Army The
gnn was fred at short range, from the shoulder;
without material change of direction, and the
magazine was emptied in about twenty seconds,
every shot striking within space of no larger
than man. 1t was shown that it could be fired
on the run as rapidly from the shoulder, and
with equal precision. o. -
These officers expressed themselves as highly
gratifed, saying in substance that it was the
most formidable weapon they had ever seen,
and that, armed with it, a small body of men
could hardly be dislodged by many times their
number. 1t was taken apart by the removal of
two screw, and the pieces laid in the palm OF
the exhibitors hand, SO that each could be sep
arately seen.
1t has been exhibited in the Senate Military
Committeeman to Senators Wilson, Morton
Ames, and Generals Logan and Blair, of the
Senate Committee, snd Generals Coburn and
Slocum of the House Committee. These gentle
men greatly admired the simplicity and eff.
cheney of the weapon. and have since praised il

FLIES IN THE SICK RooM-You may drive
them out with brush, but, unless something is
done to render the place uninviting to them, they
will return immediately. There are many weeds
or plants emmitting an empyreumatic odor which
answers well for the purpose. Of such to be
found about the country in this neighborhood
know none more effeetual than the wild chamo-
mile, species of anthemis, known also as cotula
or Mayweed. The odor of this plant is not at
all disagreeable, and branches of the weed when
in flower, or some of the dried flowers scattered
about room, will soon rid it of all flies.
Another means, perhaps quite as efficient and
certainly more esily resorted to, is to throw some
powdered black pepper on a hot shovel and car
ry it about the room. The generation of empy-
retimatid vapors in the same way from other
spices will also, it is said, answer the purpose.
A few drops of earbolic acid or creosote, on a
cloth hung up in room or used in the dressings,
would probably be effectual but the odor is uot
usually SO acceptable to ones olfactories.
