An appropriation to repair the levees
of tile Mississippi river. A commit
tee WAS appointed, with Senator
Alcorn of Miss. as chairman, who
interviewed the President in regard
to the ai'pr Dpriation. Senator AL
corn represented earnestly to the
President the inter Inability of
these states to make the necessary
repairs, and the great danger to the
people OF The river country so long
as the levees remained broken or
weak. His ExcelIency expressed
his personal desire to aid The South
at all times. but was not certain
how the present Congress would
consider such an appeal just at this
time. After conversation of some
length and animation the commit
tee retired we'll satisfied of the
Presidents sympathy, aud believe
the appropriation will be made at

at the Muchanics' Institute, and
believ, ny that the lives of the

organization under the law was
attempted the posse was furnished
with the request that care should
be taken that no member of the
Legislature returned by the Re-

from the floor. This military pos
Sc performed its duty under direc-

State, and removed from the floor
of the House those persons who
had been illegally seated, and who
no legal right to be there, where
upon the Democrats arose and left

In all this turmoil, in which

ton when Mr. Witt, the usurp-

for troops TO prevent the blood
shed, they were given him; when
the Governor Of the State called
