0REENvILLE. MISS, Nov. 3oth, 1877
Of the Nicksburg Herald:

0REENVILLK, MISS, Nov. 30th, 1877.
Editor OF the Vicksburg Herald:
At this time II may seem inoppor.
tune to discuss the merits of q perma.
nent plan for the reclamation Of the
Mississippi valley from overflow, as no
dOnbt that will be ably determined by
a competent Board OF Engineers, but
from having lately seen an article in the
Memphis Appeal, Of Nov. 18th, siren.
uously advocating a gigantic levee sys.
TEN in connection with o railroad, as
the sine qua non, TO remedy the evil.
l take the liberty 10 entirely dissent
from any such plan for relief. In the
early histo,y OF this valley, when its
population had no better means at hand,
levees were imperative, and as the pop.
ulaiion increased the system extended,
they had 10 be made higher each year,
and this necessity has still existed dur.
ing a lapse Of ever sixty years; a sys'

country has been continued about
twenty years too long, and now PEG.
pie are tired Of them, as much from
their ineflcieucy as their burlhen.
They would still be more Objectionable
were they placed now as suggested,

bends" in order 10 give them pcrman
ency 4; throwing out thereby the most
desirable portion, aud tho best land in
the valley. certainly the best improved,
/, excluding All area Of not less than 2,OOO
square miles, or l,2S0,0O0 acres which
would be protected by the Eads plan.
and which will he hereafter discussed,
This would be ailen ed with heavy
=. DAMAGE, an enormous SUN Of Itself
, aud which would be eagerly sought by

: Besides, there is claimed greater
merit Tor the levees than is generally
A conceded, in that "by combining thu

q should say their adoption creates

IL regard 10 Col. Lsmar's illness on
the floor Of the Senate when be was
speaking in regard TO the contested
seats, we find the following in the
Congressional Record:
"Mr. Lamar addressed the Senate, but
was compelled to stop by sudden illness
His remarks are withheld for revision"
After a running debate between diff.
erent Senators, Senator Lamar again
claimed the floor and spoke as follows:
81 was obserita g. Dir. President, that
the representa- We Of society In South
Carolina as II now exists, between these
two claimants for the senate, lie General
Butler; and IL there be any difficulty
about the subtlety OF this question, that
fact Of itself ought to solve the pre- blem.
What Is the Legislature OF South Carolina
at this time? II 10 the Legislature which
elected him. Where Is the body that at.
tempted 10 elect Mr.. Corbin? 1t never
had an existence. l can see but one rea'
son that can operate upon gentlemen for
voting against the admission OF General
Butler. There have been some that have
been mentioned, but none have been sug.
gested which strike me US touching bis IT,
tie as a Senator on this floor.
"Gentlemen speak and have thrown o I
remarks when tolls motion was first made
about transferring the majority OF this
body from the Republican side to the Dem.
| ocratic side by / he admission OF these
Senators who are applying here. Sir, let
me state 10 Senators that there lie no pos
sibllity, no power whatever, to prevent re-
suits which are now going on in the poll
tics Of this country By vain efforts to keep
Senators who have been elected out ri
their seats upon this floor, and maintain
ing the power by putting Senators in who
have no constituency whatever. The
doom OF that party 10 already sealed. Il
is in a minority 10 this country at thIl
time and It has been in a minority fol
many yeArs, and nothing that they can d.
here vill prevent their tnal overthrow.
Il md, sir. that l am too unwell TO g.
on with my r'marks."
We sincerely regret this return o
sudden attacks of illness that We hat
hoped our distinguished Senator hat
fully recovered from. Our State anC
party need all our Senators, and NOR,
especially those Of Col. Lamar's grea
ability aud influence. But beyond thi
selfish view OF the case, the gentleman
has the deepest sympathy Of ell thos,
who have the pleasure Of a persona
acquaintance.

TIE vote of the Senate 10 take mp the
measure Tuesday is an indication that
that body will pass the Silver Bill by a
very large majority, possibly BY two
thirds. Some Of the Senators who
voted 10 consider the measure from
Tuesday until lite passage, may have
thus voted so that the measure could be
disposed Of, not fearing that II would be-
come q law. This il, however, not a rea'
sonable supposItIOD, for the favorable
recommendation by the Senate Commit
ice and the immense popularity OF thu
bill With the House and the press, prove
that It is very strong, and Senators op
posed to It must know that the be'
way 10 defeat it is b! prccra-Iin"'i"i
and a long fight. Th" Al 10 IS vote
therefore, may be considered a very
fair test Of the strength OF the parties
for and against this measure Of suct
vast importance to the country |
rcnews the hopes of those who wer'
discouraged by the jay Gould tone o
the Presidents message. We are no
sure that the President will veto th,
measure IL II passes the Senate by
good majority, but II be should, ii
friends In Congress seem to be s'ronI
enough 10 pass 1t over his veto.
