Senator AIcorn on the Mississippi Flood.

MORE PROMISES TO THE NEGRO FOR VOTES
In tho U. s. Senate, on Tuesday, during
tho discussion OF the bill to iscresss the do
nation for the relief of the people suffering
from the overflow of the Mississipp Sena-
tor Alcorn said that In aHoriing ielis: un-
der this bill care should he taken for the
proper and judlcious distribution OF the
food aud clothing. He alluded to the tele =.
gram In the morning papers that the ne
Rroes around Memphis are now refusing to
WORK, alleging that the government intend
al to iced and clOtbe them. The difficulty
10 he apprehended was that the labor of
that whole country might become dem0ral-
ized. lie had n Thousand negroes on his
plantation, and he did not ask the govern
inent 10 feed them. lie would feed them
himself, and when lie had no more tor them
they wonldeall starve together. He said
that the lev es OF the Mississippi should
have been in condition To resist the rising
OF the river; the people OF the States OF
Louisiana and Mississippi have been taxed
largely To construct levess, and If the mon
ey bad been properly expended it would
have accomplished the object desired. The
State OF Louisiana bad spent twelve mil
ions IN tho levees. and Mississippi had
spent ten millions since the war for this
object. Five millions, If honestly end
properly expended, would have been sufii-
cient 10 protect the State OF II issi issippi from
overflow. =
The trouble WAS that the money was
squanGered by irresponsible aud reckless
parties. Several OF tue counties of Missis.
,irpi, Including tho county in when he
lived, had been taxed for levee purposes sc
much on every pound Of cotton raised
Boards OF supervisors were appointed ior
the different counties to direct the eXpendi-
| ture cf this money. The board of super
visors for this purpose In his county con.
| sisted OF four negroes, who, he believed
| could neither read nor write, and one white
| man, who was such that the people would
| sooner have the meanest negro that could
| be found than have him. The lax payers
had no responsibility, no voice In the dis
position OF their own money, and this was
| tho reason Why II was sauandered and
diver ted from Its legitimate purposes. Hs
(Mr.iA.) had endeavOred heretofore to ge
The general government to furnish the au
thority to construct and maintain the levees
but to let the States pay for them, as they
are able TO do. Bat let tho army officer,
