AN EXTRAVAGANT PROPOSE.
TIONs
The 0VertOn Hotel Scheme-A Raid Gn
the COuEfy Treasury.

EDITORS APPEAL-The tax-ridden
people Of Shelby county had congratu.
lated themselves upon the conservatism
and economy which had been inaugu-
rated at the commencement Of the pre-
sent term OF the honorable county court.
They hailed the reduction OF the rate of
taxation as an earnest system of re-
trenchment and reform, which would
characterize the proceedings Of the court
during its entire session, aud, resting
under this impression, great was their
amazement at the extravagant prOposi-
ton now before the court, vi5: the pur-
chase of the 0verton hotel for the pur-
pose of converting it into a courthouse.
The county court will most certainly act
upon this proposition with reflection,
and not utterly disregard the opinions Of
almost the entire tax-paying and mer-
camille portions Of this community. The
people of Shelby county have expressed
their confidence in the members Of the
court by placing them in power. Let
them not prove recreant to their trust.
The people will hold them responsible if
they so far forget the duty they owe to
the county. TAXPAYER

RED RIVER FALLING.
a gentleman who reached the city
yesterday from Shreveport, gives an en-
couraging report of Red river. All the
way down the river was found to be de-
clining, thus giving us assurance that
there will be no augmentadon in the
flood here from that source.
A FALSE ALARM.
There was really no break in the Tre-
pagnier plantation, below Algiers,
Thursday evening, as was reported. A
crevasse was mOmentarily expected, be-
cause of aerawfish holes in the embank-
ment through which the water was
finding its way rapidly, and which was
thereby very much enlarged. BY
prompt werk il was speedily closed, and
the levee is now regarded as secure.
THE LATEST.
The telegraph dispatches last night
report the condition OF the rivers as fol-
lows. At Pittsbnrg, rising; at Cincin-
natl, rising rapidly; at Louisville, rising
fast; at Evansville, rose . inches; at
st. Louis, falling slowly at Cairo, rose
Is inches; al Memphis, falling slowly;
at Vicksburg, stationary, The river at
the foot of Canal street, yesterday,
stood; at a. m, inch below high
water mark at II m, at high water; at
P. M, inch above high water mark.
A SAD PICTURE.
From the Little Rock Gazette OF Saturday.
A gentleman who has Just returned
TO this city from a trip to Memphis,
going by river and returning by rail,
gives fus a most doleful picture Of the
condition Of the country. The Arkansas
was not so high as TO cause serious
damage until the backwater from the
Mississippi was reached, about fifty
miles from the mouth. FIom that on
the whole face of the. country is covered
with water. Here and there a slight
mound might be seen with stock hud-
died together upon it, while in many
places the only safety left the animals
is upon rudely constructed platforms,
where they stand starving upon the
meagre diet Of cane tops, gathered for
them in dugouts by the owners. Many
have already been drowned, and unless
there be speedy abatement of the
flood, of which the recent rains give
little hope, many more must starve.
Nothing has yet been done, and cannot
be for weeks, toward planting, and tax
ing the prospect altogether we see no
escape from serious loss and in many
cases absolute suffering for the unfortu-
nate residents of the river counties.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE HOLLY

Last Saturday, on . public road, near

stabbed aud killed by drunken man
named YarOra. The circumstances of
THE SAD AFFRAY
are ss follows: a lad of about eighteen

If liquor had a fuss with worthless,
desperate character named Yarbra, q
man thirty years OF age. Joe WOOten
succeeded in quieting them for timP,
insisting that Walter WOoten was tight
and did not know what he was saying,

resumed, and Narbra knocked the boy
down and began 10 kick him, when Joe

and the two were separated distance

who had separated them, was about to
mount his horse, supp. sing the affair

the parties again cliuched, Yarbra hav-

was beloved by all who knew him. and

row In Memphis, and long will be be

From the New orleans Picayune OF saturday ]
The river remained in front Of our city
yesterday at pretty much the same
hight as the day before, though no fresh
danger is appTehended 10 our levees.
By dispatch to Governor Kellogg, yes
terday, from Major 5. J.. James, it
would appear, however, that the river
above was rising, and the danger might
increase at any time, and should be
provided for. General JEFF. Thomp-
son accordingly left with instruc-
tiOns from the governor to cut
the levee at Bayou Plaquemine, 50
as to lessen in some degree the pressure
this side, though whether this viii be Of
any real utility is question in dispute
among engineers. Below, the levees in
many places still remain broken, though
the planters have banded together and
are working TO close them, the one at
Mr.. Famsch's being already shut and
the break closed; and unless there is 9
further rise, they cOnsi1cr themselves
safe. The creUISSe at Belchasse Blanta-
ton is said to be one thousand feet wide.
NEWS FROM BONNET CARRE.
The following dispatch was received
from the steamboat Garry Owen, from
Bonnet Care, yesterday: "River one
inch higher than in 1871 and still rising.

for the purpose Of repairing the levees.

Omaha daily bee., 1874-05-02

Any man or paper that says that
Edward Johnson has admitted, in
his testimony or otherwise, the truth
IF Vandergift's charge against him,
willfully and deliberately states a
falsehood.-Herdid.
This kind of bluff might be aps
propriate in a keno room or i'm a po-
ker club, but it will not answer the
purpose i'm an intelligent, unbiased
community. Did not Edward john
son swear that he believed Wander
gift would not testify falsely?
The Herald may denounce the
BEE and its editor as liars, but that
will not, and cannot wipe out the
fact that johnson did not dare to
deny Vandergift's statements when
he had an opportunity to do so on
the witness stand.
Omaha daily bee., 1874-05-02

A SPECIAL dispatch to the BEE
from Washington announces the
amicable settlement of the Omaha
bridge con troversy. According to
our correspondent the compromise
involves no surrender on the part of
the Union Pacific of the control of
the bridge, nor does it propose to
marguerite radical changes in its
management. Omaha will con-
ti.ue as the recognized terminus of
the road, and will as heretofore re-
main the transfer point for all pas
sengers. The transfer of freights is,
however, to be hereafter conducted
on the Iowa side. This will confer
no substantial advantages upon
Spoon Lake.
Half dozen switchmen and a
dozen laborers will probably be able
to handle all the freight that Is to
be reloaded over there. A great
portion of the through freight will
always pass over the bridge with
out change of cars, and nothing
will prevent the Iowa and Missouri
roads from delivering Omaha
freights, as they are now doing.
If the transfer Of passengers at
Omaha becomes a fixed fact it can
hardly be long before the Iowa roads
will come to the sane conclusion
that it will pay them best to receive
and deliver their passengers in the
Omaha depot.
