from st. Louis to Shreveport.
One day last week at Louisville the
Lawrence was detained an hour to an
swer the suit Of the crew before the
United States Commissioner, for wages
The crew jumped the last trip, Captain
Terrell deducting the labor bill for dis.
charging the cargo at this port. Tie
court decided the case in favor OF the
boat and owners.
One bent Of the Cairo and Fulton
railroad bridge over White river was
carried away by the flood on Friday last.
John Collins, deck hand on the Oil
City, fell overheard and was drowned at
the mouth Of White river on Friday.
Every possible effort was made to save
him but TO no avail.
The Thompson Dean went up last
night, three days aud six hours out from
New Orleans, with 300 tons of freight
Taking into consideration the fact that
she did large way business that is

From pm. yesterday to am. to-
day the river rose Eve inches, and stood
thirty-one feet eleven inches above low

Tha machinery and most Of the cargo
Of the Brill, sunk in the mouth of tie
new locks at Louisville, have bees
raised. The boat is no impediment 10
navigation. Preparations are making
to blast the hull with powder to-day.
On Friday the Fort Gibson arrived at
Little Rock with 3S5 bales of cotton.
DRIFTwooD.-Levee laborers got 81 so

removing freight from the water.........
The Panther run through herself at
Cairo, Thursday. .......The Dick Fulton
had twelve boats Of coal for Arkansas
City and Natchez..........It costs 10 cents

sand ton steamer therefore would cost
S750.........When she left Little Rock,
Friday, for New Orleans, the Exporter
had on board 1902 bales OF cotton..".....
The Armadillo is due from the Arkan-
sas, and is on her way to Cincinnati
.........The Oil City is putting out the
machinery and outfit of the wrecked
Dardanelle at the foot of Jefferson street
The Simpson Horner burned four
sheets of one of her boilers above here
and returned to-day to get Peter Lawless
to repair them.........There is some mis-
understanding, it seems, as to whether
the Oil City shall receive her pro rata
for salvage for raising the
Model barge yesterday. She certainly
deserves it, for without her services the
barge would have been under water yet

There Is very little stir in monetary
circles to-day, and Madison street Is un.
usually dull. The demand for money is
fair, aud banks are diseounting nothing
but customers paper. On the street
there is little business paper offering,
aud rates are from llC93 q cent. b
month. Exchange is scarce. Eastern
bills are par buying. and sight checks are
sold at ic premium. and accommoda.
ton transactions between banks were
reported at lc premium. New Orleans
bills are lC9sc discount buying and par
selling Gold broke in New York to-
day, opening at 1851, and declining to

NELL ZONE.

There is no doubt but that President
Grant has faithfully fulfilled the pledges
made by him to the people upon his first
inauguration. No other President has so
well carried ont all tha, he promised. Els.
peciaIly has ne wrought wonders in our
financial condition, which arc tcrsely
summed up in the following paragraph
from Hlrpcr's Weekly:
During the Presidential term which
closed on the 4th Of March 1865, OOO, 600
Of the public debt were Cancelled; and
while for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1869, the interest charge on the debt
amounted to sl31 900, 900, il will not cx-
coed for the year ending June 30, 1873,
the sum of S107, 100000. The steady
progress of retrcnchmcnt in government
expenditures is shown by the fact that
while, exclusive of the interest ON the
debt, the general expcns"s Of the gov
eminent for the year ending June 80,
1869, were $50, SOC, 900, they will not
. Exceed for the year ending June 30,
1873, the sum of sl53, 500, 000-a Saving
of s.a7, 100000. Besides this the bur
dem o, taxation has been l;ghtcned, as
comnare,I with the rates Of 1859, 10 the
extent of cl'N, 900, 1000 a year, without
th.. elasticity Of the revenue,
which, from s27l, 900, 900, in 1869, has
increased to the estimated total of s4l0,-
OO0, 900 for the present year.
