The Gubernaiorial Question In Staff Ono,
LITTLE Rock, April 3.-No material
change between the two belligerent Cover
nors, or the United States forces. Baxter's
men to day removed an old siege piece from
the lower end of the town; where it was
used by the Confederate forces during the
war, and stationed it at the corner of Mark
ham and Scott streets. 1t is six-pounder,
and has been cleaned out ready for action.
Baxter's forces were increased by the Ar
rival of one company from Hampstead
county oday. A portion of Brooks forces
now occupy the Benjamin Block, opposite
the State House, aud were drilling to-day.
Both sides expect reinforcements tonight.
The people are generally satisfied that the
Legislature should settle the pendidg diffi-
Guilty though the Brooks side say the Legis-
latnre will not meet in obeyance to Baxter'e
call.

The Levee Question Before Congress.

The Levee Question Before Congress.
The following is from the New York
Tribune of the twenty-second. While it
speaks well for the energy of Congressman
Morey, ii gives us view of Eastern
sentiment on levee matters:
For over three years there has been a
select committee ON the levees Of the
Mississippi river, under the chairmanship
Of Mr.. MOrey of Louisiana. This commit
tee, recognizing probably the hopelessness
Of efforts to secure an appropriation for an
object so local in it's character as the pro-
lection of the farming land lying along the
lower Mississippi from overflow, have never
until to-day attempted to get any measure
through the House.
The sufferings and loss 0ccasiOned in sew
eral parishes of Louisiana by the recent
freshet made this an excellent opportunity
for the committee to obtain favorable
hearing for their project of committing
Congr, ,s to the theory that the govern
ment o5ght to construct a system of levees
and keep them in repair. Fortunately, the
committee vas called to-day, and Mr.. Morey
reported bill for the appointment of q
mixed military and civil commission, to
make surveys and report ON the best
method of permanently reclaiming the allu-
vial basin Of the river subject to inundation
This was prefaced by a long preamble, in the
nature of an argument, to prove it to be
the duty of the United States to undertake
the work of levee building. Seeing that the
preamble was dead weight upon the bill,
Mr.. Morey abandoned it, thus leaving the
measure in such shape that it could be sup
ported by members who. like Mr.. Kass0n,
were willing that the government should
obtain the information about the overflow
Of the river and devise system for pre-
venting it, but who believed that the States
interested should construct the work.
After an hours debate the bill went
over. 1t is opposed on the ground
that it is evidently designed to
open the way for future appropriations.
The land to be reclaimed by the proposed
levee system, or improved by protection
against the danger Of future overflow, is
private property, and the people who would
be benefited are all citizens Of one of three
or four States. As Mr.. Willard said in his
speech against the bill, it is difficult to see
any justice or constitutional authority for
appropriating money collected from the tax
payers in all parts Of the country for pur-
DOSE 60 purely local.

A Militia March to the sixth District

On Sunday last brilliant little parade
of portion Of the Third Battalion, Louisi-
ana State National Guard, reinforced by
officers and men of other commands, came
Oft in the Sixth District. Company c turned
out in full force, we'll uniformed, well armed
and we'll drilled. The officers present were
Lieutenant Colonel Emile Detiege, Captain
N. d. Bush and Lieutenants j. d. Claiborne
and J. T. Jones. They marched from way
down the city to the residence of Brigadier
| General Sewell, Second Brigade, were their
ranks were reinforced by members Of other
companies, and the display was aided by a
brilliant gathering of officers, including
| Colonel R. B. Baquie, Second Infantry;
| Captains j. B. Gaudet, William Mercer, w.
j. Steptoe, w. G. johnson, A. Lastraps, and
| Lieutenants John J. White and Thomas J.
Hill. Captain Bush had Company C in
| good order, and the meH did credit to them
| selves and their commanding officers. Lieu
| tenant Colonel Detiege put them through
| course Of evolutions in excellent style,
showing that he was both an experienced
soldier and good officer, after which
Colonel Baquie took the front, and despite
| the orange and other fruit trees that inter-
fered with the proper handling of his men,
even in the spacious and beautiful square
in which General Sewell resides, put them
through very pretty and effective drill.
Such refreshments as could be summoned
upon so unexpected a notice were literally
placed before the troops and were as liber-
ally disposed of.
A large number of prominent civilians of
the Sixth District had meantime gathered
together, among whom were conspicuous,
Messrs. j. Gartskamp, C. B. Augustus, Paul
Bruce, Paul Dejole, Jules Dejoie, Joseph
Boutte, William Young, Captain Wilson,
etc. Speeches were delivered in the hap
piest vein by Captain Gaudet. Colonel De-
tiege, General Sewell and Colonel Baauie.
All united in condenning recent general
order OF Adjudant General Street (which
was ready, requiring all companies that
paraded on Sunday, with arms and uniform,
to pay five dollars to the armorer. This
was considered direct attack on the color
ed militia, but Governor Kellogg was by
general consent absolved from any know
ledge Of the purport OF the order On leav-
ing General Sewelrs hospitable mansion,
three rousing cheers we're given for "Sewell
and the Sixth District" and meeting,
pleasurable on all sides, terminated with
mutual professions of warm esteem and
devotion.

The Rescued BOat.Crew,
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

| EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
| Permit me to give you the particulars Of
| the rescuing of the nine men of the shin
| Zimi, as obtained from eye witnesses, which
exhibit degree of daring bravery and
skillful seamanship such as is seldom
| equaled.
The men had started in small boat, to the
relief of others who were in row boat after
| which they we're unable to return to the
ship, but were compelled to run before the
wind for nearly three days, at the end of
| which time they were off Gallon Island,
twenty miles to westward ct Belle Pass.
They were first sighted by the United
States coaster Vanderbilt, making signals
of distress, but so boisterous was the sea,
that it was considered fool-hardy to 90 to
their assistance. In this emergency
Captain Mike McSweeney, of the Iugger
Cosgrove, volunteered to 90 to their relief,
and meeting hearty accord from his crew,
started. The feat was witnessed from Gail
lou island by numerous spectators who saw
this small boat breasting the terrible bill
lows of the Gulf, on q mission to save
human life. At times her mast, thirty-seven
feet in height, was out Of sight, and the
breathless watchers on shore gave her up
for lost.
At last, however, the heroic McSweepey
reached the almost doomed crew Just after
their frail sea-tOssed vessel had capsized,
and picked them up one by one, only to
undertake return as perilous as the pass
age just completed through the breakers,
but which was happily alike successful
A touching incident of the rescue was to
hear one of the half drowned sailors, Cuniff,
singing out, Captain. save our mate (who
was cIin,ging to the wreck), he has wife
Captain McSweeney saved not only the
crew belonging to the Zimi, but their boat,
and brought all to the city, where they
were restored to the captain. who had come
up for new men, believing his old ones lost
The cutter John A. Dix had cruised for
three days in vain, but at one time was
seen by Captain McSweeney only seven
miles distant from the sufferers
The rescued med were Second Mate Gu
niff, Switzerland and brother, Wilcox,
Cluney, Fox; and balance unknown For
heroic daring and manly bravery this act
OF Captain McSweeny deserves to be put on
record-to be made part of our coast his
tory. Those who have witnessed storm
on the Gulf know the peril he was in.

The School Girls, Mite.

One of the most touching incidents con
| nected with our present period Of distress
was witnessed at the City Hall yesterday
1t appears that some days ago the young
girls of the McDonogh School asked theil
principal, Mrs. N. Al. Taylor, to ascertain il
small gift of such funds as they had saved
up for the purpose of paying the expenses
of picnic, would be acceptable to May OF
Wilt as part of the fund being raised for
the poor homeless victims of the food. A
neat reply was returned by the Mayor, in
cOnsonance with the wishes of the school
girls, and SO yesterday witnessed the Sc
quel.
Shortly after the opening of the school
the various classes chose one of their mem
bers to represent them, the following young
misses being chosen: Lucy Whitlow, Jennie
Duffy, Hattie Simmons, Julia Nelson, Es-
meralda Geiser, Georgia Carr, Ida Pettus,
Tillie Waters.
Into their hands was confided the quar-
ters, dimes, nickels and car tickets of their
associates, and never was queerer bunch
of all sorts of money more blessed than
that made up Of the gifts Of the little school
girls. The money was deposited in little
box, and while the proud missionaries
started on their generous errand their
happy associates formed two lines in the
hall, through which they passed, and as if
by inspiration joined their voices in a happy
song of benediction.
The delegation. guarding their sacred
treasure, made their appearance at the City
Hall, where they were warmly welcomed
by the Mayor and his assistants. Miss
Whitlow, in a few briet words, expressed
the object of their visit, and placed the con-
tribution OF her associates in the Mayors
hands. Mayor Wiltz' reply in accepting
the donation was most appropriate and
touching. Though large sums had been
brought to him, none had been more well
come or would be more warmly appreciated.
There was peculiar SAVIOR Of blessedness
about gift from the hands of little school
girls that the dollars handled by men of
business did not and could not possess. The
little misses, their mission fulfilled, with.
drew from the Mayors parlor and few back
to their comrades, with the ightest Of
hearts, to tell them how graciously their
little gift had been received. In another
column, among many items, larger and
smaller, receipt Of which is acknowledged
BY the Mayor, will be found this item:
Children OF McDonogh School, $50.

High Water Items.

Lake Pontchartrain, under the influence

En- DIS and His Jetties.

The New York Tribune of the twenty
second contains the following:
The Eads plan for improving the mouth
of the Mississippi, by the construction of
jetties to deepen the channel at one of the
passes, does not appear to be strong enough
in the Honse or in the committee which re-
ported in its favor to resist the opposition
OF the united Louisiana delegates. To-day
the bill authorizing contract to be made
with Colonel Eads for the work was recon-
mitted to the Committee on Railways and
Canals on motion of the chairman, Mr.. Nc
Crary. No objection is made by the Louis
lana members to Colonel Eads having the
money to try his experiment, but they first
want the Fort st. Philip canal begun, be-
lievlng that the canal project is the only
practicable method Of obtaining uninter-
rupted communication between New Or
leans and the sea, through channel of
uniform depth, capable of floating vessels
of deep draft. The recommittal of the
Eads bill. will probably result in its aban-

A Senator with His Coat on.

The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of
the twenty fifth says:
There was general turn out of the citi-
zens of Plaquemine last week to work upon
the levees. Among the many who pulled
off their coats and rolled up their sleeves
was Senator Wharton, who did yeoman ser
vice in the spade and wheelbarrow depart
ment. The Republican of that town pays
high compliment to the colored people who
until the town was relieved Of all danger.
No doubt the combined energies of the citi-
zens of Plaquemine saved the town from
disastrous overflow.

that is, where would he have been to-day il
all like me had staid at home as he did?
Mr.. Herbert followed Judge Evans and
endeavOred to show that he had been elected
in strict accordance with the law.
Mr.. Bechtel called the previous question
and his motion was carried.
Mr.. Vigers moved to reconsider and to
table, and the motion was carried.
The third ward thus has two complete
sets Of delegates, each casting half vote.
The convention then adjourned to twelve
