THE RIYRR.

Everybody now has a theory as to
what the river will do. We are all in
terested. Many are alarmed. Some
contend that there will be but little if
any more rise here. The Signal Service
reports show no general rise in any I'M
portant stream, except in the Ohio from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, and at no point
above Cincinnati is that river bank full;
in fact, there was not enough water in it
a few days since for coal boats. The
Mississippi above the Missouri is only in
fair boating order. There is no consid-
cradle rise in the Missouri. None of
the eastern tributaries Of the Ohio are
high or rising. We have no Signal
reports from the largest, and to US
the most dangerous, the Tennessee,
but we learn that at Johnsonville on
Sunday night there was only ten feet of
water in the channel and falling. At
Cairo the river is eleven feet below high
water mark. Here it is three feet. We
know there is a difference Of seventeen
feet in the rise and fall of the river here
and at Cairo, which demonstrates that
seventeen feet of water is drawn off by
the present outlets in the west between
these points, which is in part returned
by the St. Francis near Helena, where
the rise and fall is eleven feet greater
than at Memphis. Now, we contend
that the fall of the Tennessee, Cum
berland and other eastern tributa-
ries that have sent out their foods,
will counterfeit the rise Of the Ohio from
its western branches; that the recent fall
at Cairo and its outlets between Memphis
and that point will draw of the present
rise from st. Louis; and the Mississippi
below here is not high Cat Vicksburg it
is fourteen feet below high water mark
with a tremendous current drawing the
water from here-hence it is not proba-
Bile that we will have more than a few
inches more water here. And, before
the water now passing eff toward the St.
Francis can possibly reach the Missis-
sippi again, a general decline will have
set in. Therefore, the river below Helena
will rise but little morei if any. OF course
heavy and continuous rains will change
this.

PRESTO. cHANeEl.

The New Orleans Times, which reck-
lessly and specifically charged Andrew
Johnsoa with buying up a delegation in
the Legislature for $4,000, is now as
loud as the loudest in his praise. 1t
says in the issue of August l that he was
q man who, judged by any standard, was
great; that in spite Of his faults he
was great; hat his bitterest enc
mics never questioned his honesty
and integrity; that he took no presents;
had no family" to take ARE Of, and left
the White House poorer than he went
in; that while immense fortunes we're
made in the riot of extravaganza and
corruption the irrepressible Tennesseean
came out with garments not having the
faint Of corruption on them; that he re-
turned to the Senate just at the time
when the majority of the American
people had practically indicated the
soundness of his position; that history
will write him down al the central figure
of this era, and that he was that noblest
work of God, an honest mani All this
sounds very fine, coming from a journal
that less than six months ago charged
him with petty bribery, and never had
the manliness to make any withdrawal
or correction.

LONDON, August 3.-A dispatch from
Madrid says the Alfonsoists continue
successful. Several important victories
we're gained last week. The CarlistS are
evidently approaching dissolution. Liz
zanaga, with 5000 Csrlists, is in the cita-
del at Leo De Urgel. Spanish funds
have risen, owing to the improved pros
pect. The projected constitution de-
clares the State religion to be Roman
Catholic.

Ex-PREsIDENT JOHNSON will be buried
to-day at Greenville with Masonic hon.
ors. Governor Porter and other execu-
tive officers will be present, and doubt
less a large concourse of people of
Greenville and the surrounding country.
Mr.. johnson always had a strong hold
upon his old neighbors, who will now
evince as fully as possible their sorrow
and respect. To them he was always
the giant oak of the forest that towers
above all others whose fall is heard from
afar. For nearly fifty years he lived and
was known in public affairs at Green
vile. A generation has passed away
since he entered public life, and as he
turned his face to his mountain village
when weary Of the strifes and cares
abroad, SO Greenville, though rot united
on him politically, always claimed and
was proud of Andrew Johnson. To-day
his mortal remains will be committed to
the earth in the presence of his old
neighbors, sorrowing friends and family.
To them it will be an occasion of no
common interest and solemnity.

HoN. JAMES 7. ELLIOTT, who died at
Camden, Arkansas, a few days ago, was
a native Of Columbus, Georgia. de re-
moved with his father to Arkansas in
1874. and was at the time of his death
about ffty.two years of age. He was a
Confederate soldier and rose to the rank
of Major. Previous to the war he was
a Wing and Union man; after the war
he became a Republican; published a
paper several years at Camden; in 1868
was elected to fill out an unexpired term
in Congress; in 1870 was elected to the
State Senate, and afterward was placed on
the bench in his judicial district, a posi-.
ton he once filled before the war, and
continued in it until the adoption of the
State Constitution recently. Aside from
his political associations, he was highly
esteemed, and now that he is dead, bis
former opponents speak Of him in terms
of respect.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, August ga letter
from the Rev. j. H. Eccleston, Of Phila-
delphia, Bishop elect Of this Episcopal
diocese, was received yesterday, in which
DR.. Eccleston states that he had de-
layed responding to the announcement
of his election in May last because of the
protest against the manner Of his cleo
ten hat he had been sent here; that he
had carefully weighed the evidence on
both sides and sees no good grounds for
the charges made. He therefore leaves
the final result with the standing com
mittees throughout the country and the
House Of Bishops; with their decision he
will be content.

THERE is to be a hanging at Knoxville
on the 18th instant. The name of the
party is John Webb, sentenced for MUIR
der and outrage. Some weeks ago the
pastors Of that city united in a petition
to the sheriff to have the hanging pri-
vately in the Jail yard. The matter was
discussed in the community and men,
toned in the papers. The sheriff took
time to consider, felt the public pulse
and concluded hat he could not comply
with the request, SO the hanging will be
in public. The people feel that they
have an inalienable right to see every
hanging that comes off and the man who
steps in between them and such a salts
faction may look ont at the next election.
There is a grim sort of pleasure enjoyed
by gaping crowds who collect to see a
wretch wriggling out his miserable life
in mid air at the end of a rope, which
would not be afforded by a circus or a
free ride on the elephant. The average
American citizen knows his rights, and
knowing dare maintain.

FALL RIVER, August 3. About $4,000
operatives are idle, and probably will be
for thirty days, although rumors prevail
that work will be resumed in q week.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction,
and many are willing to go to work, in
GLIDING a good part of the spinners who
heretofore acted almost as a unit. How
long the mills win remain closed it is
impossible to say. The manufacturers
say they do not know themselves. They
think it hard that the operatives opposed
to the strike and willing to work at the
reduction should be locked out. The
store keepers have given notice that if
help can afford to take vacation for
thirty days they can afford to pay cash
for their goods, and no credit will be
