THE MASSACHUSETTS CAhAM1r:.-
We give, this morning, additional de-
tails in reference to the disastrous
flood in Massachusetts,. It is thought
if the bursting of the reservoir had
taken place at an earlier hour of the
day. when the people were at home or
in bed, thousands instead of hundreds
would have persisted. Such havoc is
terrible to think Of, and especially 30
il the loss and misery, as il averred.
might havo beon avoided It is said
that the walls of the reservoir were
never strong enough to confine the
waters, and that water had been no.
ticed ebbing through their intcrstices
for some time. On the other hand, it
'is averred that tho reservoir which
burst had been carefully built and
only recently examined. and that upon
examination it's condition had been
found perfectly secure. 1t is hard to
reconcile that statement with the
calamity which has occurred, and
which is without parallel in this
country, though like cases have
happened in Europe. There hive
been many serious foundations during
this century on that continent from
the breaking OF dams, and it has in.
varisbly happened that they have been
due to defects in the construction of
the dams. One Of the most appalling
of these inundations occurred on
March IL, 1864, when tho dam Of tn.
reservoir near Sheffield, England, con-
tanning IA, 900, 000 cubic feet Of water,
aud covering seventy acres of
ground, gave way. Twelve miles of
country were laid waste and $50 lives
lost, besides the destruction OF vast
amount of property. In this case the
embankment is said to have been
eighty-Gve feet high and forty feet
thick. and was supposed to be con-
structed on the most scientific priuci.
Piles, though the result showed that it
was insufficient and badly constructed.

CHRISTIANSTED, ST. CROIX,
WEDNESDAY, 4ru FEBRUARY 1874

The English Packet arrived here yester-
day morning bringing our dates s days
higher up, than those received by the
American mail on Saturday. In the meet
ing of the FoIkething on the 10th ultimo
the Bill concerning Remission of Contribu-
ton from the Colonial Treasury of st.
Thomas and ST. Johns to the General
State Expenses for 1873-74 was read the
first time. The passage of the Bill to Sc
cond reading was adopted unanimously
without discussion. Boisen proposed to
refer the Bill to the Finance-C Committee.
Chr. Rimestad spoke against. Boisen's
motion was adopted with 40 votes against 1.
Dagbladet. of the 18th ult., in a leading
article on the present political situation in
Denmark says, "that all that the Country
demands Of the Left under the present cir
cumstances is, that the Party will have all
reasonable regard to the real facts of the
situation, and keep within that boundary,
the transgression of which will make a
provisional Budget necessary, and SO
change the political position into one in
which another spirit will be governing
than now"
AS the ministry have agreed to remain,
agreeably to the urgent request of the
King, they must have determined, at the
same time, to advise the issue of a provi-
sional Budget, if the action of the Left in
the treatment of the several budget-items
should compel them to adopt this alternative
The advice to the Left seems to be intended
, 1874-02-04

to prevent letting matters ONE to that ex-
tremity whereby a critical state would be
created, in which a provisional Budget
might be only one step leading to further
undesirable consequences. The matter as
it now stands is one of the most serious
internal questions that can arise in any free
country.

The Cologne Go9ette, perceiving a gross
misrepresentation to be current outside
Germany with regard to the measures
pointed against Archbishop Ledochovski,
thinks it desirable to explain that the arch
bishop cannot-9xcept by act of royal
grace most unlikely under the circum-
stances-be confined in q fortress at all.
There are two sets of prosecution against
him. The most serious is that recently
entered into, which aims at his removal
from Office. That proving successful, the
archbishop will not be put in prison or in a
fortress, but will simply be expelled the
country, as the Jesuits have been before
him. The other prosecutions are for vio-
lation Of laws Of the land and are punish
able by fines. If the archbishop will paw
the fines, he need fear no restraint. He
does not seem inclined to do so. The
law courts, to preserve the principle of
equality before the law, are therefore in
his case, as In every other. bound to re-
sort to the other alternative of confinement
not in a fortress, but in a civil prison.
