MAD RAGE OF WATERS.
Unprecedented Rise In the Upper Cum
berland and Tributaries.
Great Destruction Of Coal Boats, Mills,
Fencing, etc.

From the Nashville Union and Americsn.l
Gentlemen who witnessed the great
flood in the Upper Cumberland and its
tributaries by the recent rains, speak OF
it as the most extensive and disastrous
event of the kind within the recollec-
ton of even the Oldest inhabitant OF
that section. Mr.. q. B. WOOdcOck, en-
gagged in mining coal above Somerset,
Pulaski county, Kentucky, arrived in
the city Yesterday, and from him we
gain information relative to the disas-
trous consequences of the great freshet.
The destruction of property along the
river and creeks above Somerset to the
extent of many miles was unprece-
dented. 1t was estimated that the river
rose thirty-fiye feet in ten hours, sweep
ing off at q rapid rate mills, lumber,
coal-boats, cattle, and everything else
that could not be instantly removed be-
yond the reach Of the merciless flood.
Mr. WoOdcocB had eleven coal-boat-
loaded and ready to start down the river
for this city with the first tide. Eight
of these boats were swept from their
moOrings and destroyed, and as yet II
is not known what fate befell the other
three, which We're started to Nashville.
His mill on Buck creek was also
destroyed, together with much valuable
lumber, sawlogs, fencing, etc. The
amount of Mr.. WoOdcock's loss viii ex-
ceed fifteen thousand dollars. He wit
messed the fall of rain and rise of waters,
and speaks of the event as the mos
fearful Of the kind he ever beheld. Coal
boats belonging 10 Messrs. Jones, Sut.
ton and Smith were destroyed, anc
nearly ali the mills, fencing and lumber
on Buck, Pittman and Sinking creeks
shared the same fate. The destruction
Of property on Kentucky river was alsC
very extensive, but few details have We
been given.

FLOOD IN KENTUCKY RIVER.
Great Destruction Of Logs, Coal and Iron
The Highest Water Since 1917.
From the Lonisville Ledger

From the Louisville Ledger
We have but brief details of the great
flood in Kentucky river. The Lexington
Press of to-day reports that Mr.. F.
Fitch, who arrived in Lexington on
Thursday from the Kentucky River
Ironworks, reports perfect flood in that
stream. The water rose fifteen feet in
six hours and five feet higher than it has
bean for many years. being within sfsvs
feet of the point reached by the great
flood of 1917. The loss in saw-logs is
immense, over twenty thousand of
which have been fiOated out and lost.
These logs were the property of poor
people, who had saved them during the
winter for sale in the spring, and We're
their chief dependence. 1t is thought
this loss win create much distress
among the inhabitants of the upper Ken
lucky. rr
Above Irwin most of the citizens re-
siding in the bottoms were driven from
their homes by the rising food. Many
houses were washed away, and the loss
in live stock is believed to be very great.
Fears are entertained that large
number of coal boats at Proctor's land
ing were lost. One boat and barges
were carried away from Scott's landing,
as also one barge of iron lost. The
new boat Leslie Combs is above the
bridge at Clay's ferry, unable TO pass up.
A number of barges of corn, on the way
up the river, belonging to the Red River
Ironworks Company, are supposed to be
lost. The amount of damage done is
j immense

/ to reach that end, and / have no doubt
/ that. by the co-operatiOn of the House
the bill viii be so far improved as tC
command the support and approval Of
the people.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Dawes re-
marks, Mr.. Maynard asked and OBJ
tanned leave 10 introduce bill on which
himself and Mr.. Kelly, as the minority
of the committee, had agreed. 1t Is en-
titled "a bill for the further reduction OF
taxes and the promotion of commerce"
It puts the internal taxes first; IL makes
tea and coffee free, with other additions
to the free list. 1t adopts ten per cent.
reduction in the provisions of the Senate
bill as to many of the articles embraced
in ii. 1t puts the rate of tobacco at l6c
per pound uniformly, and it permits the
Secretary of the Treasury, under such
regulations as he may prescribe, to main
tain tobacco warehouses.
Mr. Dawes, from the same COM
mittee, then reported bill to
regulate the seizure and examination
of the invoices, books and papers in Gus
tom and revenue cases.
Mr.. Kerr to whom the bill had been
especially committed as member
of the committee on ways and means,
proceeded to explain it and said that it
was drawn up mainly in view of petit
tiOns extensively signed by business
men in tWenty-eight States Of the Union
and that it was designed to relieve the
merchants from the abuses which had
grown up under the existing law. After
some further discussion the bill went
over without action until tomorrow.
The Speaker asked the attention of
the House to the criticism which Mr.
Beatty, Of Ohio, in a speech last Satur-
iay, made OF decTsIOu OF trIe Utrusls s-.----
days previously in ruling that bill
which Mr.. Beatty had sought to report
from the committee on printing, did
not come within that rule which per-
mits the committee to report at any
time. He desired some action of the
House on the point, while there was no
doubt in his own mind of the correctness
of his decision. On motion of Mr..
Banks the resolution was adopted by a
vote Of 135 ayes to noes, sustaining the
ruling of the chair.
Mr.. Ketchum from the conference ON
the st. CrOix and Lake Superior land
grant bill, reported that the COM
mittee had been unable TO agree. He
moved that the House insist on its ae-
ton and that an another conference
committee be appointed.
Mr.. Sehofield moved that the House
reeede from its action, which would
have the effect Of passing the bill as it
came from the Senate.
Mr.. Holman moved that the House
adhere to its action which would make
it final.
Mr.. Ketchum in view of Mr.. Scho-
fields motion, withdrew his own and
hoped that the House would adopt Mr.
HOlman's motion.
The vote to adhere was first taken on
Mr.. Sehofeld's motion to yeeede and it
was rejected; yeas 81, noes lis.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Hol-
mans motion TO adhere to its former
action. The motion was agreed to.
Yeas 10, noes 81.
This amounts to the rejection of the
bill, as the substitute adopted by the
House, and to which it voted to adhere,
was to declare the lands reserved to ac-
tual settlers.
The House then adjourned.

PISTOL AND CLUB.
A Petersburg Reporter Shoots an Irate
City Father-An Example.

From the New York Herald.l
PETERSBURG, Virginia, April II, 1872.
The city of Petersburg was yesterday the
scene Of a renconter which, it is thought,
may result fatally to one of the COM
batants, growing out of certain structures
made by newspaper upon the chair
man of the Finance Committee of the
City Counsel. The parties concerned
were J. w. johnson, reporter of the
Progress newspaper, and 5. NJ. Donnau,
the financial committee man. FG2 sew
eral days previous several articles had
appeared in JOhnsOn's department of
the paper, denouncing Donnan and
charging him with malfeasance in office.
To these Donnan replied by commu-
nicatiOn in another paper, stgmatizing
JOhnsOn's charges as wholly false. I"
This led to a renewal of the charges on
the part of johnson in yesterday morn
ing's Progress, with more severity than
ever, and about noon the controversy
eliminated in an affray
Donnan, accompanied by his brother,
repaired to the Progress office for the
purpose of seeking satisfaction. The ag-
grieved party only entered, and finding
the reporter present invited him to a
conference in the street. Johnson read
Hy assented, but while rising to go threw
his hand behind him as if searching for
pistol in a rear pocket. Donnan is
then said to have called out, g Don't
shoot me,n and You mean to shoot
me, do you?n at the same time dealing
Johnson a heavy blow with cane he
had in his hand. The reporter warded
off the blow from his head with his arm
and drew his pistol, and at once fired
two shots, both of which missed. Don
nan then succeeded in knocking John
son down, and while in a recumbent
position the latter placed his pistol
against Domains leg and fired, infiict-
ing q painful and dangerous wound.
By this time several persons had been
attracted to the scene by the shots, and
the parties were separated. Donnan's
brother made desperate attempt TO go
to his assistance, but he was restrained
by friends without. The ball entered the
fieshy part of Domains left leg and be-
came imbedded in the muscles, from
which it had not been extracted. Both
parties were arrested and bailed.

IT'S EASIER and infinitely more just
10 build railways by corporate, county
and city, than by individual subserip-
tions. Notes and subscriptions of indi-
viduals cannot be used as a basis of
loans, and Of one hundred thousand
dellars subscribed by corporations, and
an equal sum subscribed by individuals,
the corporate subscription is worth most
and viii produce most. The blessings
derived nom these public works, like
the deWs Of heaven, descend upon all
alike, and all alike should be subjected
10 temporary inconvenience resulting
from exactiOns levied in behalf of rail-
wsys upon the public purse. Taxes
when wisely levied for such purposes are
not taxes. Taxes are dead losses to the
individual, but when taxes finally assume
the shape of a railroad, the monster of
horror becomes the genius of wealth and
commerce and progress.

THE New York Evening Post (Repub-
lican) says: " A severe contest is ex-
pected in the Senate over the PROPOSE
tiOn to allow the President to suspend
the writ Of hd6eas corpus beyond the
present session Of Congress. We trust
it will not assume the form of partisan
contest, but that there will be enough
Republicans in opposition TO prevent the
Democrats claiming all the glory Of de-
feating the measure. The privilege of
the writ Of hdbe0s corpus shall not be
suspended unless when, in case of rebel
lion or invasion, the public safety may
require it, These are the plain words
Of the constitution Of the United States,
article one, section nine, paragraph two.
They leave no room for argument The
Republican party cannot afford to iden-
tify itself permanently with the uneOn-
stitutional measures which a majority,
unfortunately, has thus far thought
nessary."
