THE FLOOD.


It's Elects in and Near st. Louis
The Water Higher than any Time
since 1857.
ST. Louis, May 9.-The river at this
point has risen nearly two feet since last
night, but the swell is very slow tonight,
and not more than another foot is now
expected. The water-line is now within
about nine feet Of the Aood.mark Of 1874,
and higher than any other time since
1857. All the cellars on Front street, in
the business part of the city, are flooded
with water, and the water has reached
the curbstone in the lowest places. All
the lowland in the upper part Of the city
occupied by lumbermen, stock-yards,
etc., are submerged, and considerable
damage has been done on the lowlands.
The southern part of the city is also in
undated, but the damage in that locality
is not material yet. The railroad track
along the levee is submerged in places,
ana the trains Of the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern road are obliged to
stay at the North Market street depot,
instead of coming down to the Biddle
street depot. Several railroads entering
this city, especially those running east
aud north, we're more or less injured by
the late storms; but all have large gangs
actively at work repairing damages, and
detentions are slight and only tenn
porary.

RRcORpER DUFF.

The dismissal Of the charges
against this gentleman closes the
impeachment trial before the Cen
eral Council which has been pend
ing two or three weeks. The peO-
pie had lost interest in the proceed
ings, and we believe hat nine
tenths of the are glad that
nothing serious was found in the
charges. Colonel Duff may have
made mistakes, as who has not!
The Council perhaps attached too
much importance to rumorS that
when sifted by judicial processes
were found to rest on facts of a
trivial character. The charges were
overloaded, and the pOnderous I'M
parchment trial dwindled down to
a small affair, in which it became
evident that there had been consid-
cradle personal feeling. The main
point was in regard to the disposal
of the fees, which the Recorder
claimed the right to collect as an
ex-oficio justice of the peace. We
suggested long ago that this should
have been settled by agreement in
one of the courts. The Recorder
agreed yesterday to turn over such
fees to the City Treasurer, and set
tie his rights and powers in the
courts. There seems to have been
a misunderstanding all around, and
it was very unfortunate. Some Of
the papers abroad have commented
severely upon Colonel Duff, assum-
ing that he was already convicted
Of grave crimes and misdemeanors.
The st. Louis Republican, in lead
ing article, is particularly severe,
doing gross injustice to COlone
Duff and to the city of Memphis
We can say to all such that he is {
chiyalrous gentleman, and we be
lieVe was acquitted in public Opin
ion before so decided by the Coun
Gil. The managers, when they founC
that a mistake had been made
promptly brought the trial to
close, which was honorable to thos,
well-meaning gentlemen and at TIN
same time completely e~xOnerateC
the defendant. The trial has elic
tied many commendatory notices o
Colonel Duff from Mississippi
where he was well known. We cal
say to the press Of that State tina
they have nothing to take bach
And now that the difficulty ha
been adjusted, we hope that all al
peritieS will be dropped, and thai
as some gentlemen connected wit
the city government know eac
others metal better than before, a
will go on harmoniously.

We are with you, neighbor, down

those who, like the Appeal, support
the funding iniquity, or to those
who favor violent reductions with
out calculating the consequences.
Reference is made, we presume,
mainly to State taxation. We are
in favor of reducing that to thirty
cents by the next Legislature, pro-
vided the bondholders do not see
fit to propose an equitable settle
ment. This will bring them to
their senses sooner than anything
else. As to supporting this or that
candidate, or opposing him, plat
form or no platform, we shall, as

Conservative journal, recognizing
no authority but the people we
strive to represent, reserve our de-
cision until we see the man. Men
