= Temporary Illness of the Governor.

The arduous duties devolving upon Gov
ernor Kellogg during the session of the
Legislature-the continual wear and tear
of physical and mental strength necessarily
exercised to cause those things to be done
which ought to be done, and to prevent
those things being done which ought not to
be done-have had their effect upon him
and for the past few days he has been con
fined to his residence with painful though
by no means serious illness. Within the
past two days, however, he has improved
so much that he IS able to transact such
business as is necessary to be done, at his
residence, and in few days he promises to
be again at his post of duty, at the State
House. He is perfectly willing to receive
all who call upon him in a purely friendly
way; but let visitors beware how thev in
trude claims for Office upon him. They will
be apt to 60 down to the bottom Of the
Governors black list, unless, indeed, they
fare worse. and summarily make the
acquaintance Of the athletic youth who
superintends the door bell.

The Louisiana Questions =.

The Louisiana questions are likely TO re-
main dormant until Senator Morton has an
opportunity to call them up.
In the House the Durell impeachm ment
case is practically settled. Those who
have examined the evidence, all of which
has been printed, say that the remedy for
the complainants is in an appeal to higher
courts. 1t is admitted by those who have
given the subject most attention that Judge
Dnrell was perfectly justified in issuing
what is known as the "midDight" or politi-
cal order 1t was issued under the enforce
meat act, to prevent riot, bloodshed and re-
bellion.
As to the alleged corruption in the bank
rupt cases. it is shown that in some in
stances the fees of the assignee were exces-
sive, but that they were agreed to by all
parties in interest. It is stated by those
who have read the evidence that no corrup-
tion attaches to Judge Durell in any of the
caees; 90 that the attempt to impeach him
will probably turn out like similar effort,
made two years ago, to impeach Mr.. JUS

High Wafer.

Our reports of the river this morning in
dicate rise Of four inches yesterday, and
the water in front of the city now standing
nine inches below high water mark of 1871
This is the highest point the water has
reached since that year of overfows and
crevasses, and unusually early in the year,
at that. The highest water in 1871 was on
the nineteenth of April. The highest water
of 1872 was two feet ten inches less than
the preceding year, and was on the eighth
Of May.
On the first of April of that year the
water stood ten feet five inches below high
water mark. In 1873 the highest water was
on the third Of June, and was two feet
three inches below high water mark of 1871.
On the first of April Of that year it was five
feet two inches under the mark There is
no Disgusting the fact that the unusual
height Of the river at this time is significant
Of danger to our city; but we are assured
that Surveyor Bell and his able corps of
assistants have taken every precaution
against disaster, and we hope and believe
it will be averted.

The Special Appropriation for the Month
of the River.

In the committee of the whole of the
at0r West, of Louisiana, called up the bill
to appropriate $4,000 for the improvement
of the mouth of the Mississippi river
Senator West made the following remarks,
in reply to objections raised by Senator
Davis, Of West Virginia:
l am glad that the Senator has afforded
me an opportunity to explain to the Senate
the necessity for this appropriation. In the
fiscal year ending June 3O 1872, we appro-
priated $l55,000 tor this work. Last year,
IN an effort at economy, we made it $l25, 900,
being just the amount that would be re-
quired without any contingency at ALL
contingency has arisen. That contin-
geDcy was that the bar at the mouth of the
Mississippi was blockaded for certain
time, as the Senator says, some three
weeks, and yet there are four months SER
vices OF the boat required to be paid for
against three weeks blockade. Let me say
to the Senator, and l have no doubt he
knows it himself, that one weeks blockade
of the mouth of the Mississippi river might
necessitate four months work on the part
of the dredgeboats. The bar was block
AIDED there, and the impediments accumu-
lated to that extent that it required four
clear them out. The report Of the chief
engineer calls attention to the fact, and
states that the appropriation has proved
insufficient for the work, owing to the
blockade Of last March making necessary
the working of two dredges instead of one
for nearly four months.
This is not deficiency under an estimate.
This is deficiency arising from the fact
that an accidental cause has rendered the
expenditure necessary, Just as there was an
occasion quite recently here in the instance
OF the harbor of Buffalo, where a gale of
wind SO Obstructed that harbor by banking
up a sand bank so as to make it necessary
to spend $4,000. Here is an accidental cir
blockade of the mouth of the
Mississippi river-that renders additional
necessary. As the matter
stands now, without the passage of this
bill, we have the mouth of the Mississippi
river closed up. trust the Senate will see
the propriety of acceding to the require
nent.
After further debate, in which Senator |
Bogy, of Missouri, came to the assistance
If Senator West, the bill was reported to |
he Senate without amendment, ordered to |
! third reading, read the third time and

International Arbitra tfOn.

On the invitation of Hon. Emory Wash
burn and others. a meeting of several lead
ing citizens of Boston was held in that city
on Monday evening, to consider the import
ant subject of the edifcation of interna.
tional law as the basis of international ar.
bitration, and as q permanent feature in the
future policy of nations. Mr.. Edward 5.
TObey presided, and among those present
were Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Robert
Charles Deane, Rev. E. E. Hale, George
Washington Warren, Richard rockingham
and DR.. Miles, who was one of the repre-
sentatives to the Brussels conference of
publcsts, .jurists and statesmen in October
last, and who made an interesting and en-
couragng statement of the successful re-
suits thus far attained by that meeting. An
adjourned conference of the same character
will be held in Geneva in August next, at
which it is hoped this country will be ably
represented. On motion of Hon. Robert &.
Winthrop, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resotred, That we rejoice to observe the
resolution presented at the conference at
Brussels by Right Hon. Montague Bernard,
and that we cordially concur in this resolu-
ti0n, viz: This conference declares tina. it
regards arbitration as a means essentially
just and reasonable, and even obligatory,
on nations OF terminating international diff
terences, which can not be settled by nego
tiatlon. 1t abstains from affirming that in
all cases, without exception, this mode of
solution is applicable, but it believes that
the exceptions are rare; and it is convinced
that no difference ought to be considered
insOluble until after clear statement of
reasonable delay, and the ex-
haustiOn of ali pacific methods of accommo-
dation.
On motion of Rev. E. E. Hale the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resotred, That the international code
committee OF twenty-six appointed last
year under the direction Of the meeting
held in New York, May Is, be requested to
select the proper psrsons to represent this
country ct Geneva; that this committee be
requested to meet ct their convenience, to
ill their own vacancies and to choose dele
yates for the purpose above nsned.
