THE COMING DELUsE.

The story comes that the missouri
river. at its head in the Rocky mount
aims. has broken loose from its winter
chains, and is reported rising rapidly
from the melting ice and SHOWS. This
isa warning of what is coming with
q general breakup over the whole b 7
Sin Of the Mississippi from the Rocky
mountains TO the Alleghanies. But
as the head springs OF the great Mis-
souri, are, by the winding course of
t,e river, nearly three thousand miles
fr M its junction with the Mississippi,
and IS over all the elevated region
from Fort Benton to Omaha the frOsts
Of F. bruary and March will be apt to
arrest anything like general thaw,
the spring food from the Missouri
will perhaps not get down to st, Louis
in advance of the month Of May.
When these foods do come down,
however, from the enormous snow
fall of this winter over the great
plains and in the Rocky mountains,
the exposed cities and towns on the
Mississippi, and especially New Or
leans, may look out for the heaviest
inundation Of half a century" II the
suspension OF business on Northern
railway lines during the winter result
necessarily in the construction by
Northern capitalists of the Southern
Pacific road from Memphis to San
Francisco, it may happen that the
lower valley OF the Mississippi must
nav heavily for the lesson inculcsted
by Northern snow-storms. But then
the East must have cotton cheap and
abandaut, and the East loves the ne
gro and the lowlsnds are paradise OF
Africans. 1t must therefore happen
congress will not fail 20 promote
the leading purpose OF Senator AlcOrn,
who proposes to devote his whole
term OF efica, if need be, to the popu-
larizatiOn of q scheme involving the
from oveTfOws Of the
Iowlands from Cairo to the Belize.

BILLS are before congress to usurp
the control and management Of the
railroads, the telegraph and the an
surance companies, and also "to sP-
point a temperance commission to in
ouire into the effect Of licensing the
sale of liquors and the results OF pro-
hibItory legislation in the States" f"
This is preparatory to getting the Ii
quor traffic under its control. A ma
tionsl divorce and marriage law Is
talked Of. Already by amendments
to the constitution, made in a time
OF usurpation and violence, the States
have been deprived Of the power they
formerly exercised of declaring who
should be voters even for their own
State and local Offices. These are
alarming signs OF the times, and yet

of Indiana, after witnessing them
after witnessing the great danger
which exists OF all State and local au-
thority being swept ewsy-protesls

and announces that sit will maintain

them" This is an encouragement to
the couspirat0rs at Washington who
are engsged in these schemes Of revo-

NEW YORK NOTES.
NEW Yonk, February 20

Il NAV 4AkAf -
Frank Dion, of Brooklyn, beat Jas
Bennett, of Toronto, ia match game
OF billiards for two hundred and fifty
dollars, in Brooklyn last night.
The impression is prevalent that
while Leet q Co. may lose their gen
eral order business, they will continue
TO keep their bonded warehouse.
A car full of passengers on Fulton
avenue, Brooklyn, last night, was fired
into by one Of gang OF rufhans, near
Vanderbilt avenue. No one was hurt.
No arrests.
In the common pleas court Mayor
Hall and counsel appeared. There
was a dense crowd present. The court
proceeded to obtain twelve jurors.
Several parties examined were reject
ed.
In the case Of the killing Of Mrs.
Brown by the Hudson River COM
pany's dummy engine, recently, the
cOToner's jury returned verdict that
the company was directly responsible
for her death.
A large number OF Crispins, last
evening, together with members of
other trades-unions, stopped several
nOn-sociefy men, and the police were
compelled at one time to clear the
City Hall park by the free use OF
clubs.
The court to day heard the argu-
ments of Messrs. Bartlett and Nc
Keon, counsel for Stokes, who ad-
dressed the jury in suhstantiation Of
their plea that the drawing and all the
proceedings in obtaining the grand
jury by which the indictment was
found against Stokes, were illegal.
One of the matters which it Is said
will be presented to the judiciary COM
mittee against Judge CardozO charges
him with Withholding his decision in
a simple case Since 1870, and then as
serting that the notes Of the case had
been lost and that he could not decide
it. The suit was one for the recovery
by the sister of decedent Of property
left her.
It is understood that the district
attorney cannot prosecute the mer-
chants who bribed the custOmhouse
officials on testimony taken before the
investigating committee, owing to the
statute exempting such witnesses from
liability. Il Independent proof arises
in the prosecution of the officials, it is
to be made the basis of suits against
the merchants.
