The Elections.

The elections in twelve States on
the 9th inst. show, upon the whole,
adscided Democratic gain, though
the tidal wave was not as sweeping
as had been anticipated. The
Democrats confidently expected to
carry Wisconsin, while it has gone,
on a very light total vote, for the
republicans by majority larger
than Hayes obtained in 1876. In
Connecticut, where only local cleo
tons were held, the Republicans
have gained several members of
the Legislature, though that body
contained a Republican majority
before. Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Kansas have, OF
course, gone Republican, though
the Hayes majority has been in
most OF them reduced.
The Democrats have carried New
York by reduced majority. We
did not anticipate, with many of
our friends, an overwhelming vic
tory III that State. The opposition
among Democrats to Tammrlv.
which had control of the party, was
more formidable than ever. This
division in the Democracy proven
ted it from fully profting by the
Conkling, instruction in the Re-
publican party. Mississippi, Nary
land and Virginia have also, as a
matter Of course, gone Demo-
cratic.
The great feature of, and tri-
llmph in, the battles of Tuesday
was the capture of Pennsylvania
by the Democrats. The result il
Pennsylvania is, in fact, the only
change in the political
status of the States, and that is a
a very great one. Indeed, it makes
the country Democratic beyond
and very decidedly so.
In all the States the vote was
extremely llght.-.N o. Democr@.

Improving the Mississippi.
TWO PLANS FOR THE WORK.

|
The immense value of the alluvi-
al lands of the Mississippi. and the
inability OF the States in which
they lie to protect them from over.
flow, will probably cause Congress
to take some action npon this sub
Ject ut an early day. These lands
are wonderfully fertile and of great
extent. aud when once made Sc
cnre, their taxable value and pro
ductiveness will be immensely in
creased
Two plans for the reclamation of
these lands are now definitely be-
fore the country. One. is known
IA that of the United States Engi-
neers, and the other rs that of
Capt. Eads, the engineer of the Jet
ties. The first plan is explained 10
the report Of commission auth II
lied by Congress in 1871. OF whicl,
Gen. g. X. Warren was president
and Gen. Abbott a member. The
report is unanimous and is further
strengthened by the full indorse
ment of Gen. A. Humphreys, Chlsf
OF Engineers of the Army. Capt
Eads plan is the very of opposite
of the US. Engineers, and is based
on theories So directly contrary tc
theirs, that one or the other party
must be greatly i'll error.
The plan of the commission ma,
be said to rest npon the correct

ness of what is known as the s:out-
let system" which is explained in
its report in the following words
The plan consists in abstracting
from the river and conducting by
separate channels to the gulf such
a volume of the flood discharge as
shall be sufficient to bring down
the flood level to a height easily
under control by levees." The COM
mission does not, however, propose
to make any new outlets, but says:
"They are correct in theory. but no
advantageous sites for their con-
stru ;tion exist" 1t accordingly re
commends the keeping open of all
existiug natural outlets, and espe-
cially Bayou Atchafalaya, which
now not only discharges nearly all
the waters of Red river, but a large
portion of the flood waters of the
Mississippi. The commission rec
ommends repairing the defective
leyees; the closure of the crevasses.
n n the completion of the entire
zee system from Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, to the lower end of the river,
and the extension OF the levees up
the mouths of the tributaries and
down the bayous far enough to
GU ,rd against backwater. The cost
of this entire system of works is
estimated by the commission at
$40, 00O,Uo
Capt. Eads published n review
of the commission report last
year, in which he states that the
theories and assumptions on which
its plan is based are unquestiona-
biz erroneous. He declares that
every bayou and outlet of the river,
and, indeed, every river in the world
that flows through bed formed
by its own deposits, prove that the
"ontlet system" is not correct
because, as the volume of the stream
decreases its slope increases, and,
abstracting part OF the food vol
ume, viii, therefore, inevitably pro-
duce higher flood line. He says
tue report repeats the same theo-
ries and assumes the existence of
the same conditions in the river
that were advanced to support the
predicted failure of the jetties, by
those who opposed the jetty system
for improving the mouth of the
river, and that not one of these
theories is supported by the facts
the ietties have developed.
The success Capt. Eads has al
ready secured mt the jetties will
give much weight to his opinions
on this subject.
