OF rain fell. Bayou Gayoso overflowed and
swept away the bridge Mt Second street,
which recently cost the city $4,000.
It is feared chat the planting interests have
suffered severely from the unprecedented
rains Of the past week as the bottom lands
are covered with rain water.
The damage to fencing from the overflow
OF creeks and bayous is very great. At this
writing, 10 30 a. M, the rain continues with
no sign OF abating.

Rebe.on's Fraudulent Naval Contracts
In Y World

IN. l. NOTluj
WASHINGTON, April 19-On Monday next,
if opportunity offers, Mr.. Willis, chairman OF
the Committee on Expenditures In the Navy
Department, will make a partial report to
the HOUSE On the subject OF the unpaid con-
tracts OF the Navy Department. The Dem
ocratic majority OF the committee united In
recommending that the bills for services al
ready rendered, and accepted by the depart
ment amounting to about s3,2l2,oOo. be paid,
but that the contracts made by Robeson on
the third, seventh and tenth Of March, 1877,
amounting to about $3600000, be rescinded.
No work has been done on these contracts, as
they we're suspended by Secretary Thompson
Immediately on his succession to Robson 8
office Many OF the contracts which the
committee recommended to be paid were in as
plain violation Of law as those the committee
believed should be rescinded, but the work on
| the former had been performed and accepted.
The report Of the committee contains extracts
from the statutes showing that Robson vio-
| lated the plain letter Of the law In making
his contracts, but there is no recommends
| tion that he be punished for his misdeeds, as
| it is believed that person not holding office
cannot be impeached. The Republican mem
bers of the committee favored payment oi
| the fraudulent contracts.

WHEN Lieut.. Benner, who com
manded the relief boat Chambers, died
at Vicksburg, a paper there published
the following: $40 his widowed wife
who wrings her anguished hands in in
consolable woe in the unscathed city of
Atlanta, we would say that a forgiving
but forgetless people shed their tears in
unison with her. To the two little or
phans that will know a fathers sus-
tanning presence, example, and protec-
ton " any more, we would say that
a sore-bearted but generous south will
take them to her sorrowing bosom, and
care for them with that sacredness of
love that can only come of the intensi-
ty of grief, and their proudest heritage
is to be the descendants of Lieut.. ii. ii.
Benner." Fine words fifty spoken.
Should the promise be carried out, the
gratitude would indeed be genuine.

PITTsBURG is making an endeavor
TO become the most moral city in the
country. The Efforts of religious fan
atics are supplemented by the saloon
keepers association. The former make
it n practice to inform on saloon keep
ers for selling liquors on Sunday. The
latter retaliate by prosecuting street
car drivers and conductors, BARRIERS,
and private carriage drivers, and others
for violating an old statue of 1895,
which prohibits work on Sunday. Mag
istrates have consequently q rush of
business.

lected by the democratic party. We
believe that patriotic men of all par
ties approve the settlement Of that
controversy, and We therefore arraign
and condemn that faction Of. the DEM
ocratic party which now seeks to dis
turb the business Of the country and
dishonor its fair fame by refusing n
manly submission to the decision.
IL. That we favor home rule and
self-government in the territories, and
we therefore ask for such action by
congress as will enable the people or
the territories to choose all their own
officers.
IL. That the first duty of govern
ment, general and local, is the protec-
tion of life and property; and we there
fore favor an energetic warfare upon
road agents and thieves, with all the
means in our possession, until the laws
are respected throughout the territory.
13. That the mining interests of our
territory demand our fostering care,
and we earnestly recommend such ac-
ton by our government as will best
protect the citizens of our territory en-
gagged in this laborious calling.
RESOLUTIONS:
IeSOtrcu, mat the tnankS OF the pto-
pie of the territory are due to Hon. w.
W. Corlett, for the dignified and eff
Gent manner in which he has dis
charged his duties rs the representa-
tive of Wyoming in congress; that the
republican party has V had reason
to apologize for his conduct in discbarg-
ing the duties Of any public Offices
which he has held, and that the conf
dence OF this people in him is such that
they will be ready at all times TO confer
upon him their highest hunors.
Resolred, That in the nomination of
Stephen w. Downey as their choice for
the Office OF delegate to the forty-sixth
congress, the republicans of Wyoming
territory thus honoring him have to a
far greater degree honored themselves.
That in Col. Downey we recognize
those qualities of eloquence and sagac-
ity which, united with his known expe-
rience in public affai rs, render him | n
the most eminent degree the man to
obtain from our fellow citizens in
Washington, who hold the balance Of
power, those rights and privileges Of
suffrage and self-government the en-
joyment of which is now denied to us,
aud upon the securing OF which rights
in n great degree depends the future
prosperity and happiness Of the territory
in which we live, and intend to make our
homes, and we pledge to Col. Downey
steady and unfaltering support.
