FROM the S. Louis Republican we
learn that in Missouri some expert
ments in local ditching have been
made ia several OF the southea stern
counties with very satisfactory results.
Enormous crops Of corn have been raised
on the reclaimed lands OF the swamps,
and il is found that cultivation inCresss as
the absorbing capacity Of the coil, so that
the water which does overflow il IN the
wiuter disappears more rapidly. The
time viii come when the productive
lands Of The southeast will pay for such
SD improvement, and then We shall see
these vast swsmps become the most
valuable lands in the State.

Russia Immediately invited the powers

Ii Should be Entitled an Act for the Re.

justly DespOiled of their
Property.

We have much pleasure IN making q
place for the following from our member
OF congress, as an additional and most
gratifying evidence that he is doing bis
duty, aud, like a true sentinel on the
wstch-tOWer, IL looking after and guard.
Ing the interests Of the people he so ably
represents:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WAsHISGToN, D. c. April 2l, 1876 !
Hon. ]. r. Flippin, Memphis, Tennessee:
DEAR SIR am informed by letters,
which l am every day receiving from
persons in Memphis, that United States
officers are taking possession Of all prop
erty sold for nOn-payment OF the "di-
rect tax" and which was bought by,
and is still held, by the government.
For the relief Of that class OF persons
whose property was thus sold, and who
have failed to redeem it under the acts
Of congress, have introduced bill in
the house of representatives,, the text of
which | herewith inclOse you. have
no doubt bu. that it will become q law
during the present session of congress,
and have addressed a written cOmmu-
nicstiOn to the secretary Of the treasury
requesting him to suspend all further
action in reference to the property thus
situated until congress shall act in the
matter. l have not yet received reply
from him, but have reason to believe
that he will act upon my suggestions.
There is I believe, no feature in the bill
likely to brook opposition from any
quarter, unless, perhaps, it be that pro-
vision which fixes the court costs in
cases where suits are pending, but as
sumo that most officers of the United
States district courts receive fees ahywSy
amounting to more than the maximum
compensation allowed them by law, and
even IL this is not so, feel quite sure
that the officers Of our court would urge
no objection upon this ground, and
have no reason to believe that those in
other localities would be less generous.
1 should have introduced this measure
at an earlier day OF the session, but sew
eral bills of similar character were pre-
sented by other members, and 1 waited
in the hope that some Of them would
pass; they having failed, however, l
nave submitted the one inclOsed, and
will urge its passage by the house as
quickly as possible. For the iHforma-
ton OF those interested, would thank
you to request our city papers to publish
this bill. Yours, very truly,
