A CHAMPION cREvAssE CLOSER.

The high water and consequent fears of
overflow which prevail all along the river
bank calls to mind the services rendered
by Colonel E. 81. Angomar in 1858 and
1859, and again in 1866. During the
latter named years the subject attracted
considerable discussion in the papers, and
we remember to have seen several in
stances of complete success in some oes-
perate cases. We are not familiar with
MIR. Angomar's mode Of dealing with the
unruly Mississippi, whose bounded waters
now threaten
To lift their bosom higher than the shores
ana make sop of all this solid globe
But we remember to have seen numerous
certificates that it had proved prompt,
efectual, satisfactory in the olden time.
AS everybody is now looking around for
the Levee Company to do something, per-
haps it would be in order for that corpo-
ration to consult Mr.. Angomar, and see if
he can not do something to avert the
threatened danger. Up to yesterday the
river was falling steadily at Memphis,
which is eight hundred miles away; was
stationary at Vicksburg four hundred
miles nearer, and rising opposite this city,
with banks almost full. Doubtless the |
greatest pressure We shall lave is now
upon US, but it is very great, and high
wind might cause a serious break at any |

aggregate Of more than s4O,OOo.oOo,
while the depreciation in the
trade and property values Of our
city, may be estimated accordingly. We
do not affirm that all these values lie be-
hind the levees. Nor do we affirm what
portion Of them would be affected by the
overflow. 1t is sufficient to show that the
national production of these values is in
volved, and that instead of revenues and
profits derived from this State these may
turn even charge on the public and
private resources Of the country to relieve
famine prec!pitated by flood.
1t is then for Congress to decide between
propositions which, like the canal or
dredge, can not possibly increase the dan
gers of an up-river overflow, and an ex-
pertinent based on the speculative applica-
lions of foreign work and looking alone
to commercial results. Suppose that
either plan will favor the commerce of the
whole country, but that Mr.. Eads' expert
ment may destroy the crops of Louisiana
Which plan would wise and just men
prefer We answer, without hesitation,
that plan which, while it offers
1T least equal advantages to COM
nerce, can infict no possible in
ury upon agriculture. The Changers will
Jay which plan should be adopted. They
Will demand of Congress, on behalf of the

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY,

The constitution vests in the Governor
the sole power Of interposing pardon or
! reprieve from crime. No conditions
whatever are attached to the exercise of
this absolutely necessary power, except
that the Senate is to be finally consulted
in certain cases. If the consent of that
body be obtained, then the prisoner is as
formally and legally set at liberty as he
had previously been sentenced and i'm
prisoned, or held for capital punishment.
Now that we have something of lull in
political excitement, the various entries
for the next race not having been made,
we observe that some of the city papers
have taken upon themselves the task of
criticising Governor, Kellogg's official acts
in pardoning some prisoners. It is not
complained that he has exceeded his con-
stitutional authority in any case, nor with
held the proper information to the Sen
ate. The admitted fact that the evidences
that the pardons have been granted are
found in the official journal show that
the proper authority was consulted.
Neither is there any complaint made that
the executive clemency has been misap-
Piled in any Of the cases reported. There
IS but one thing shown by these crit
cisms, which is that if either of the writ
ers were Governor, he would not have
taken the same view of the cases reported
as Governor Kellogg did, unless there had
been sufficient reasons for changing his
mind. We leave it to the public to say
whether any important suggestion has
