SOUTHERN SCHEMES OF PLUMBER.

The ball has opened with a demand for
some four millions of dollars of the peoples
money, raised by taxing the whole country,
to protect the alluvial plantations that skirt
the Mississippi River, and enhance their
value. This is only the entering wedge OF
q scheme which will in time consume $780,
100000 more at least. The Chicago Tribune,
in dealing with this question, says:
As RoBERrsoS wants large sums Of public
money expended I'm Louisiana as the price OF
reconciliation u could not he spent on en-
bankments unless the shortcut outlets which
the river has made to the sea arc first stopped
up. The water in the channel must be
heightened six to ten feet artihcially by dam
ming the outflow through the crevasscs into
the sea, and after that is done the necessity for
raising levees to keep the river from over
flowing the plantations becomes at once ap-
parent. Hence, we find the ROBERTSON
committee proposing In erpend about three
quarters of q million 10 close outlets and then
three millions TO raise cmbankments to retain
the damned up foods This is a first INSTALL
ment; when all the lateral outlets are closed,
IL Is estimated that there will be necessity
for spending fifty to q hundred millions OF
national taxes to keep tho water from flooding
the plantations"
Speaker RANDALL's committee for per
petrating this wrong upon the National
Treasury consists of the following persons
ROBERTSON, of Louisiana; HATCHER, of
Missouri MONEY, Of Missississippi; YOUNG
of Tennessee; KNAPP, of Quincy, Ill.,
LASDEKs, of Connecticut; MARTIN, of West
Virginia; ERRETT, Of Pittsburg; POUND, oi
Wisconsin. RoBINsoN of Massachusetts,
and BIsBEE, of Florida. II is the purpose
of the projectors of this job, and perchance
Of their agents ON the above committee, te
make crevasses into the Treasury by which
their pockets can be flooded, rs are the al.
luvial lands of the Mississippi. The 7ri.
bune adds:
what they want is a profuse expenditure
of Government money to shut up outlets and
then build levees for the benefit OF EpeculLtine
contractors and embankment rings. The en-
tire scheme of the committee is . profigatt
fraud upon the taxpayers Of the country"

and manhood Of the Postmaster-G General

Mr.. Cox (Ohio) did not think the bill would

States. II assumes that the United States was
not gusrantov for that money, when In fact
II was so. .s.ltl..I ....
Mr.. Cox (N.Y.) said some gentlemen seemed
to take II for granted that the United States
was bound for that debt Of the District. He
repudiated the idea. When he came here
twenty years ago, whatever was given to the
District was given ss an act of bonevolenco
The people Of the District can't demand this
appropriation as right. We are not bound
for this debt, aud have no right to tax the
people Of the whole country forit.
Mr.. Buckner inquired whether the gentle
man would repudiate the debt. .....
Mr.. Coz IN. W would not. But he denied
that the Government was bound for II. II a
proposition passed to remove the Capitol to y
prairie In Missouri, joint stock company
would soon be raised to purchase the buildings
and move them and take them away from
Washington, where, like the borse-leech, they

gentleman from Missouri by his proposition Is

Mr.. Blackburn read from the Statutes at
Large 70 show that tho Government was re-
sponsible for the interest on The debt.

statute that was wrong.

not go In the face Of existing law.

pending further action the further consdera.

IT must be excessively mortifying to the
New York Tribune to be forced by the logic

"Within three weeks the syndicate has taxi en-

600 to be placed before the preparations will be
complete. Sales are so rapid that the July
100000 are expected to be taken this week
and the whole S5O,OOo,O0O. 1t is now thought,
may be taken by July l."

Of the Tribune that gold would appreciate
and our stocks would depreciate under the
passage of the silver bill-amid its frantic
calls upon the President to defeat that meas
