WASHINGTON.
Apprehensions of a Flood.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Apprehensions
from floods and gorges are general through
out the North, the late severe weather
having massed the ice. The present snow,
melting in many localities as it falls, gives
assurance of q general flood. Two hun.
dred thousand people who ubsist from the
lumber trade will probably lose all.
The Kfect of the Non. Confirmation of
Judge Pardee.
The action tabling Pardee's nomination
places litigation IN Louisiana in an awkward
positiOn. The district judge alone has juris-
diction in bankruptcy and admiralty cases.
Neither Judge Wood nor Judge Bradley
has lnitiatory voice in these branches of
law. There is now in the hands of the
registry of the district court for distribu-
ton. by order Of the district judge, $72, 900.
Other suits in bankruptcy, involving over
500. 900, are pending. There is doubt of
the Presidents power to appoint judge ad
interim. 1t seems probable that all cases
in bankruptcy and admiralty must remain
in allegiance until the next session of Con-
gress. Judge Pardee has Internationally

The Picayune is a queer paper. A large
portion of it's spacd is usually devoted to
extraordinary fctions, worked up INTO
stupendOus sensations, and another respect
able portion to explanations and apologies
for those that appeared in the previous
issue.
Yesterday morning it gravely announced
that General Badger had been elected
treasurer of the Police Board, in place OF
Mr.. Murdock, gave the names of his bonds.
men and drew some remarkable deductions
therefrom. The fact is that under the pro-
visions of a law passed by the Legislature
of 1874 middle man was required to be
elected every year as q sort Of a stakeholder
of the police funds on their transit from the
hands of the Administrator of Finance to
to the treasurer Of the Police Board. Mr..
J. II. Oglesby accepted the position in 1874,
and advances were made by him for the
payment of the force until the amount of
his loans exceeded the amount of taxes col
lected by the city some $l25,0O0. On the
first of the new year, as required by law,
the board sought to elect a fiscal agent for
1875, but Mr.. Oglesby declined to accept
the expensive honor, and nobody else would
touch it.
The board then applied for relief from
the Legislature, and the new bill was
signed by the Governor yesterday and will
probably be promulgated tomorrow.
Meantime the city commenced the collec.
tion Of taxes with great deal of vigor, and
in single week enough of the police tax
had been realized to pay the January rolls
of the police, and part of the February
rolls. The board then, as q mere formality,
elected General Badger fiscal agent, and
designated bank of deposit for the recep-
ton of the funds in order to get the money
placed in the hands of the treasurer of the
board for disbursement to the members of
the force, who have six months pay due.
Up to this time, however, Administrator
Pilsbury has had technical objections to
turning over the funds.
When the new bill is promulgated the
city Administrator of Finance will turn the
police funds over to the treasurer of the
board as fast as received, and the office of
fiscal agent will cease to exist.

The State Pay for the Police.

Governor Kellogg has addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the Attorney
General, and it is presumed the law officer
will take prompt measures to carry out the
suggestions Of his excellency:
STATE OF LOUISIANA, }
Executive Department,
New Orleans. March "a, 1875.
Hon. A. P. Field. Attorney General:
SIR-An act adopted by the General AS
sembly at its recent session has been placed
before me for my approval, entitled ian
act to enforce the payment by the city of
New Orleans and the several cities and
parishes of the Metropolitan Police district
of the appOrtiOnment made upon them by
the Board of Metropolitan Police; to en-
power the said board in certain cases to
negotiate loan; to pledge the taxes levied
tor police purposes as security to
collect the said taxes in certain cases;
prescribing certain penalties tor violation
of this act; prescribing additional duties for
the treasurer of the board; appropriating
$l35,OOO to compensate the members of tho
police force for services rendered to the
State and expenses incurred therefor by the
board, AMI relating to the salaries Of Ger.
tain officers, and to reimburse the State for
ner OF payment of salaries of certain Off.
GERS and employees Of the police when on
detailed duty, and to chang the Fiscal
Agency"
Many of the provisions OF this bill are in
my opinion right and necessary and should
become law. There are other sections
which seem to me to be unconstitutional
Sections twelve and thirteen appropriatiDg
$l35, 600 for the expenses of the police force
in the year 1874, and requiring the Auditor
to issue his warrants for the same, appear
to be in direct cOntraventiOn of the cOnsti-
tutional amendments recently adopted,
requiring the revenues of each year to be
devoted to the expenditures of that year.
As, however, can not veto this portion
of the bill without vetoing the whole bill,
which contains, as have said, number of
enactments which, in my judgment, are
neoeeary and proper, have this day ap-
proved tie act, but in so doing request you
to please without delay, take such steps as
will place on record the nullity of those
portions of the act which come in conflict
with the constitution Of the State. Very
respectfully,
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG.

The Policy Of the COl0red People.

The following letter by Professor j. P.
Sampson, of this city, to the Philadelphia
|. Recorder, the largest circulated religious
paper among the colored people in the
South, will no doubt be accepted as good
advice from a representative source, touch
ing the future policy of the coiOred people:
WASHINGTON, March IL, 1875.
Editor Christian Recorder. Philadelphia:
SIR-While admire your independence
touching the political situation, the Pinch.
back senatorial contest, the duty and rela.
tie9 OF the negro to political parties, differ
widely from you in all your propositions
and seek an opportunity when l can give
the subject OF which you treat that atten-
tion which your editorials seem to merit
that is, if possible, a carefully prepared
criticism. The New York opposition press,
l notice, "gObble up all you say on this
subject as sweet morsel; but, in all con-
science, when you tell 100000 adherents
OF your church, over whom you natu-
rally must WELD considerable influence,
through yodr church paper, to break hands
out Of Egypt, to forsake their old friends,
to disorganize before we've crossed the
Red sea, you are wrong, dreadfully

are faithful and just. The time may come
when we can teach segregation, but it is
lot yet; let us first reach the promised
land. Our object, above all, is not party
recognition through it's patronage as test
of Republican fealty. What we want is
rights stripped Of prejudice, then
Just and equal chance in the pursuit of life.
do not think you are actuated from Q
spirit of .'toadyism." nor do l hink you
wanting in fidelity to trust; but in this
advice, at this time, your judgment is un-
sound: You are giving aid and comfort to
our lifelong greatest enemy-the Demo
cratic party: You are sending sorrow to
the hearts Of our wisest, truest, and purest
minded friends. Let US hope, whether we
have third term or not. that the President
will continue his policy in the administra-
ton of the government By welding the
influence of his nigh position in favor of q
successor who, like himself, will conduct
the government with decision, great Justice
anu protection to all its citizens.

words:

plOyment for his idle hands to do if he
would only let his name be known. We
did not suppose we had among us so
miserable a wretch. We endeavored to
induce the gentleman who was thus imposed
upon, and at our expense, to give us the
name of his informant, but without success,
not wishing, as he said to be mixed 10 in
an affair, stranger as he was, in which he
had no personal, or for that matter, any
other interest. We propose to deal fairly
with all men, and as we wonld do unto

The Yazoo man is entitled to the sym.

to do business in the White League States.
The results of the ostracism which the
Herald has taught tells unfavorably when
it comes home to the authors. In this case
the editor is severely punished. He is not
only called Republican, but he is "choused"
out of a job Of work. He did not deserve
that, for his talent has been devoted to the
color line cause, the examination of Crosby's
bond and liberal abuse Of Governor Ames
