MnwNuKFF, May Gov. TAYLOR
has issned Q proclamation having ref
erence to the resistance Of railroads to
the law OF last winter. He recites that
sueh aalaw was PASSED and approved
that the competency of legislation to
regulate railroads 10 ,concedssl. and
that the st. Panl & North ,Western
Co.'S have announced their determine
tion to operate their roads without
reference to the provisions Of the act.
This, he says, 10 at once q source OF
profound regret and in marked con-
trast with the patience and submission
exhibited by the people in the pres
ence of what they deemed the unjust
and burdensome exactions of railroad
companies in the past and If persisted
in must seriously disturb the business
and greatly imperil the industries OF
the State. The proclamation con.
cludes, II therefore enjoin all railroad
corporations, their officers and agents,
peaceably to submit to the law, for
since the executive is charged with the
responsibility Of seeing that the laws
are faithfully executed, all the func-
tions of bis Office will be exercised to
that end, and for this purpose he in
vokes the aid and cooperation Of all
good citizens" "sa 'asif 1.1 Fii11tes sgi tla

MEMPHIS, May 1-Some reports sent
from here concerning the overflow
have been exaggerated Steamers
from Cairo to here can make landings
on the west bank only at wharf boats,
yet except at Osceola no. serious dam
age to the planting interests has resul.
ted from the overflow. Much Of the
overflowed country from the ,Louisi-
ana line is unsettled and without
levees. The ST. Francis valley is a
foot above water, and the planters
only waiting dry weather. n sA'
The Arkansas Valley is damaged
probably $l5,OO0a worth the White
River Valley probably 10000.
Destitution usdoubtedly exists
among the inundated ct the mouth of
the Arkansas, at Tallahatchic and Tall
lapoosa bottoms, and In the vicinity of
Vicksburg, but the water issubsiding,
and large amounts Of provisions have
been forwarded for the relief Of the
sufferers.

ron CONS,REss.

UNDER the aboyc caption, the New
ton Free Press OF April 10th has 1
leader upon the question OF the candi-
date tor Congress to be nominated by
the Republicans of this district. We
wish it to be understood that this ear
ly in tho campaign we are not ready
to take stand for any man. Neith-
or by pledges or intimation even, are
we in any manner trAmmeled In our
choice, and we do not now evon wish
to so much a. discuss the question,
feeling that the time has hardly arriv-
ed for il. Perfectly regardless of our
personal friendships, we hope that the
best and most able Republican, as well
as truest and most popular. citizen may
be selected, come from where he may.
With this Introduction, We publish the
editorial entire contained in the Free
Press, except short paragraph which
refers to an old difference in the dis
trict, that we prefer not to mention
more, If We can reasonably avoid 1t.
The part we took in that difference, is
we'll known, and our sentiments in re-
gard to it now; but once fighting .
battle Is enough. Ignoring, therefore,
that paragraph, we must say that the
Free Press has spoken candidly
and well. We indorse 1t wholly, and
here express our deep regret, that the
Potter and Advertiser have, in our
opinion, been 90 unwisc. We had OBJ
served the position assumed by these
two papers before, but had forborne
comment. The editor Of tho Free
Press has been, and 10 an earnest, hon.
est friend of Judge Loughridge, and
beyond doubt, speaks understanding
ly, - follows:
1t seems to Us pretty esrly in the
season to be taking any very great in
terest In the contest for Congress in
this District. and especially too early
TO be making any positive declarations
in regard to candidates. Yet il has
been done in two inatances- ana - s
manner that betokens bnt littie Il anv

One Of the most painful, sorriest
and humiliating incidents connected
with the !accrimonious manner in
which the econtractionists have conduc-
ted the debate upon the finances, is the
Wholesale and fiippant use Of the
terms--"a lie'-''rags"--lamp black
money" applied to our greenbacks,
which ara emphatically the peoples
money. We recollect the time when
Vallandingham and many miserable
coppcrheads in the country, including
not few in our own fair city and
county rung the changes upon
theseIepithets rolling them like q sweet
morscl under their tratorious tongues.
II was simply silly Stiffness begotten
Of anything but right motives for re-
publicans 70 indulge in such language
and was peculiarly grating to the
people of the country from old recol-
