River News.
MEMPHIS, August 2lst.-The rapid
fall of the river has dispelled all fears
of further damage to crops. So great
is the diversity of opinion in regard to
the damage done to the cotton crop
in this district, that it is impossible to
estimate it. The amount varies from
twenty to eighty million bales but
there is no precedent by which the eff
fects of an overflow on cotton at this
season of the year can be approXi-
mated.
Poisoned.
NEW YORK, August Goth. = Hon.
Thurlow Weed, his daughter and serv-
ant, have been suffering severely from
a complaint resembling cholera. They
were first attacked last Saturday few
hours after midday lunch, by violent
pains followed by retchings. A ply
sician was called in and pronounced
the family poisoned. 1t seems a cop
per tea-kettle had been cleaned with
oXalic acid and it is supposed some of
the acid had been accidentally left in
the kettle or adhered to it, forming q
slight combination of arsenic and cop
per, deadly poison. The physician
says all had a narrow escape.

Comparative Figures.

Our Independent friends have hob
by which they ride all the time. 1t
is economy in the management of
State affairs and promises to greatly
reduce governmental expenditures in
case they are again placed in power.
These!promises are mere words, moth
ing but words, and are only bats
thrown out to catch votes. In politics,
the best way to judge of what candi-
date or party will do in the future is by
what he or it has done in the past. If
we mea sure the Independent party by
this standard, the prote stations, argu-
ments and promises Of the leaders,
kick the beam against nothing. Their
record is against them and they must
seek some other argument in support
of their claim to be again placed in
power. In his speech at Sacramento
the other evening Senator SARGENT
made the following statement.
AT the close OF Haight's administration the
people were alarmed at the high figures for
state expenses, and, determined on reform,
dismissed the Democrats from power. The
Re pubicans hoped they were putting ing an
a administration to reform the affairs OF the
S tate and reduce expenditures to q reasona-
b lie amount, but they were doomed to disap-
pointment, for under Booth the people had
more reason to complain Of extravaganza
than under Haight. The figures OF expenses
OF the two administrations make showing
like this:
Booth-Judicial Department, S309, 200 3d.
salaries and expenses in State offices, $685.
$50 40; Charitable institutions, Sl56,260 ,02;
printing 800 ,474 IS; miscellaneous, $330, 1865,
IS. Total, 81 ,345 ,S72 81.
Haight-Judicial Department, S242,653 OF;
salaries and expenses in State offices, S2l6 0S0
ing, Sll0O 90; miscellaneous, S24O, ,297 64. To-
tai, 1887 ,Sl5 So.

met with a serious accident about a
mile North of this place by coming in
collision with locomotive which was

greatest excitement prevailed OH board

The Secretary of the Treasury has decided the

ty of entry at the first port, 1nt that an entry
thereof is indispensable before they can be per-

THE pUCHESTE CONSPIRACY.

The trial of Duchesne for an alleged conspiracy
to assassinate Prince Bismarck has begun at Brus-
sells. The matter will command considerable in
terest for it forms prominent item In the list o.
grievances which is occasioning serious apprehen-
sions of European trouble. twill be remembered
that in 1872 Duchesne, a brazier living at Spa
wrote letter to the Archbishop of Paris, Offering
to assassnate Prince Bismarck for q certain sum.
For this he was arrested and subjected to search
ing examination, which resulted in eliciting very
little information. Duchesne threw out some
hints Of Catholic encouragement extended to him
and involved himself in some contradictions. but
nothing definite was obtained. The Belgian Gov
eminent ct least, which conducted the examina-
ton satisfied itself that he could neither be pun
ished for what he had done by existing laws nor
was advisable to enact new and more stringent
laws. The Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs
has recently said, in answer to the German DIS
patch, that the alleged plot Of Duchesne was a
hoax from beginning to end The man was drunk,
marck and revolutionize all Germany, upon which
his auditors either in credulity or from love OF
mischief, gave information to the authorities,
which led to the investigation. Bismarck, how
ever, does not appear to have been at all satisfied
with this explanation, as appears from his recent
notes. The legal trial now begun at Brussels will
prove how far he has been warranted in his per-
sistence in the matter. The grave issues attach.
ing to it require that it shall be shown at length
beyond all doubts where the real truth lies be-
tween the trivial aspect of the view held by the
Belgian Government and the serious, complicated
character attributed TO Duches conduct by Bis
marck.
