Condition ofthe mississippi.

The river continues to rise steadily mt
this point. and has risen one inch during
the past twenty four hours. Capt. Crane,
of the Belle Of Memphis, reports a Gre
vase formed at Willis plantation, ut
Donadsons point, just above Island Ten,
on Friday n ight, which swept over that
plantation, containing about 5000 acres,
and thence to st. Francis Valley.
This doubtless caused the river to

fatal to good economy. The housekeeper has
always to pay dearer when she does not pay cash
The tradesman must have interest for his money,
for nIan will never, in a business community,
be willing, and is seldom able if he were willing,
to forego it. To the ordinary cash prices of the
articles he therefore adds the interest that may
accrne during the time that credit is allowed. -
This, however, is not all. There must be pre-
MUM exacted By the dealer for the risk he runs
in trusting his goods to that class Of more or less
dangerous customers who never pay ready money.
Even the most honestly disposed of these men
are often unsafe debtors, for they are generally
such as are imprudent enough to anticipate their
incomes, and to overrun them in expenditures.
The credit system, moreover is temptation to
unnecessary purchases. There is sert of check
in the sight and touch of the hard won money to
the disposition to dispose of it lightly. On the
other hand, there is something in the facility of
credit removing as it does the disagreeable neces-
sity of payment to a vague future, very ssduc-
tive to the buyer, who can crafty his love of
possession with a momentary sense at any rate

For moro than twenty five years he lay in the

OF the fact and more than one fruit less effort
made to procure the erection of an appropriate
monument to his memory in the mean

was unveiled last week with becoming cere
mony. Letters were read from Longfelow,
Whittier, Emerson, Bryant and other literary

There are about six weeks remaining between
new and the assembling of the Legislature
During this time every Refermer in the coun-
ty who has any original ideas concerning what
changes should be made in legislation to effect
Baltimore c0unty's interest should embody
them IN letter or series of letters to some
one OF the members of the Legislature Weare
all aware that there are some radical changes
needed in the county. The main features of
some OF those changes are generally agreed up-
on by common consent. But the arrangement
of the details by which they are to be made
practical is matter attended with some diff
Guilty. These cannot be settled satisfactorily
without general understanding and full ex-
preston of sentiment on the part of the repre-
sentative men of the different sections of the
county. The gentlemen who have been select
ed to represent us in the Legislature have the
respect and confidence of the people. They
are gentlemen whose intelligence and integri-
ty are creditable to their constituents. But it
is impossible for them to do full Justice to the
county and the situation without the assistance.
advice and cooperation of the best men in the
county who are earnestly in favor of Reform.
They have their business affairs to arrange for
two or three months absence from home. This
will naturally occupy much of their time and
attention between now and their going to An
aponlis. They should be posted generally up
on the measures that they will be expected to
urge in the halls of Legislation before that
times arrives. After the session begins their
time will be too much occupied in the routine
OF the proceedings to take in and digest new
subjects and measures suited to their advance
ment. The time for this is before that body |
meets. And the people to assist in the matter
are all those who desire the promotion of Re- |
form in the county. If they will communicate
their ideas to the gentlemen whom we have |
elected to represent us, they can digest and |
mature them and arrange them in the shape |
OF bills before the session begins. They will |
have these things all in rediness to set in mo-
tIor when the session opens and they can be
pushed along with facility and ease as they are
daily engaged in the routine Of the general
business of the session. If this course is not
adopted, our people will find that much that
wan "o "'ei-iooAeo, Ut neglected, or
lost in consequence of the fact that it was COM
menced too late. Much legislation is lost in
the hustle of the last days of the session be-
cause every man is looking after things that
specially interest him and then, too, those men
who are the NEST alert in obtaining the floor
are the most successful with their bills. These
thing should be attended to at once and every
body who feels any interest in the cause should
-ender assistance. If this is not done the coun-
y must be the loser by it.

tide fell off, these fish were left there to die and
many OF them were hauled off into the country

rs Hon. S. Teackle Wallis has communi.
Gated to his Excellency, Governor Grocme, his
Intention of contestng the election of his op-
ponent, Mr.. Gwinn, asking him to fix the time
and the manner Of conducting the contest
The Constitution provides that the contest oi
election of the Attorney General of the State
shall be made before the Governor of the State
whose "duty it shall be to decide on the cleo
tion and qualification Of the person returned" !"
This makes the Governor the legal tribunal for
this purpose, but it prescribes no mode of pro
cedure. Governor Groome notified Mr.. Wallis
that on Wednesday morning of this week he
would receive oral or written argument at the
Executive Chamber upon the proper mode to
be pursued in hearing the contest. 1t is pre-
sumed that the testimony on the question could
be taken in this case as in the case of contest
ed elections before the Legislature. This is
done by either summoning witnesses before
the committee on elections in the Legislature
or by authorizing and appointing commits
sion to take the testimony in writing and for
ward it to the proper parties for their conside-
ration. The Governor will find himself in a
very unpleasant situation. If he is obliged to
render his decision before the Legislature pass
es upon the same facts in the contest for the
Governor, he may find himself standing in
conflict with that tribunal.
