TIE VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD OF 1874.

Though not on The Kellogg slate, relief tor
sufferers by the great overflow of last year
| will be subject for very serious considera-
| ton with the members of the General Assem-
bly, at the approaching special session. The
history OF that enormous disaster is familiar
to the public. The condiSon in which the
receding waters left the inhabitants Of the
submerged regions is known to many OF our
merchants and other citizens. After the flood
had disappeared, it was in many localities too
late to plant and SOW crops
| The inhabitants were fed on government
and other rations, distributed by the Keller
Committee of this city, until some time in
| November, and as long as funds and suosist-
ence lasted But since then distress has been
great and the afflicted need all the assistance
that the Legislature can spare from our badly
shrunken State treasury. A tenth part OF the
twenty -four hundred thousand dollars awarded
by the general appropriation muddle would
save thousands of sufferers from famine,
sickness and sore distress.
If the adjustment prevails the Houses will
parts OF the oyerf owed region who are famil-
lar by recent aud frequent inspection with
the present condition, the wants and the pros
poets of their unfortunate constituents. They
have right to insist that the lands which
were OVERT owed, and from which, in conse-
quence, no crops could be produced, Shall be
exempted by law from every species OF tax.
They will have the best of reasons for asking
help from the State treasury out OF any actual
OR expected funds not otherwise appropriated,
the duty of charity in this case being para
mount to all others.
Fully fifty thousand inhabitants in the
Lower Basin Of the Mississippi were directly
affected in their homes, stock, crops and
health by the food. 1t is obvious to all who
will reflect upon this vast scene Of distress
and this army of sufferers that there must be
many Of the latter, hundreds of families, who
are still in extreme distress, and that their
impoverished neighbors have no means ct
giving relief and sustenance.
While public attention was aroused by the
actual presence of the prolonged calamity,
the General Government came literally to
the rescue, and many philanthropic citizens
Of other States-Eas., North, West and
South-opened their stores and gave gener-
ously. But the lingering consequences OF
the destructive flood can not be expected to re-
awaken the spirit which prompted the exhi
billions of philanthropy which marked the
summer of 1874. Our State and her people
must now come alone to the rescue Of the
many remaining sufferers.

Yield of the Precious Metals for 1874

From the san Francisco Chronicle,
We are indebted to John j. Valen-
tine. superintendent of Wells, Fargo "
Cos Express, for the statement which
follows of the amount Of precions metals,
including ore and base bullion, produced
in the States and Territories west Of the
Missouri river during the year 1874.
The excess over 1873 is 81, l42, 36E
British Columbia and Mexico are in
cludcd. California, Nevada, Utah, Col
orado and British Columbia have in
creased their yield. Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana Arizona and Mex
leo west coast have decreased it. The
in ,rcasc in Nevada and Colorado is mere
" nominal, but in California and Utah it is
8. 100000, threc-fourths OF which is to
the credit of our own State. In giving
the statement for 1875 the assertion that
the yield was the greatest ever made by
this coast was denied, some persons say
ing that that of 1853 was greater We
learn from DR.. Lindcrman, director of
the United States Mint, whose special in
formation on this point is extensive and
accurate, that the yield for 1883 was only
SO, 900 OO, showing u large balance in
favor uI 80 and a. Mr.. Valentine cI-
presses the opinion that, in the light of
the recent developments on the Comstock
lode. the yield Of 1875 may be expected
To approximate SS0OO0,0OO. The table
by States and Territories is appended.
