River News. 30.
Regarding the river we have moth
ing more to report than that it has
been steadily declining the past week,
aud is now nearly at low water mark.
The only activity along the levee,
which by the way is nothing small, is
tile local transfer of freight aud cotton
between here and Trenton. Commo-
dore jenkins, who superintends the
transfer, has been on tsdock," in other
words sick, but the repairs are COM
plete and he is again at his post of
duty.
The Little Bob from below was due
up yesterday, but had not put In an
appearance up to time OF closing our
report. 1t is probable, however, that
she will be found at the landing to-
day on her return to Columbia.
Capt. Renwick is having a platform
built at the elevator landing whereon
to put cotton and freight. q,
Ben Cornwell, the sschum" who as
through his courteous bearings as chief
clerk on the Wilson and Hanna, won
the respect and admiration of all those
with whom he has come in contact,
has gone North for a brief, but needed
trip of recreation. When he returns it
will be as chief clerk on the magnifi-
cent Fred. A. Blanks.
Our genial and accommodating young
friend Tarlton, clerk of the Bob, will
please accept this reporters thanks for
kind and appreciated favors.
The chimneys of the new Natchez

into any description of her but will
leave our readers to judge for them
selves of her magnitudinous proper
lions. The chimneys were put up by
G. T. Dumont, of Cincinnati, who
built the machinery, &C., for the Fred.

Capt. Gus Hodges new Bartholomew
packet, VIM. Pagan, was successfully
launched at Jacksonville, Ind, on the
18th inst. With cabin on, her draught
is but IL inches. Our Bartholomew
friends ought to feel proud over such
an acquisition.
The Little Bob passed down Friday
evening for Columbia, but was COM
PEELED by low water to take short
rest of only 20 hours ON the Monroe
sand-bars. On her last up trip she
spent IL hours on them. We would
suggest that she take a barge along the
next time.
The Wilson finding plenty of water,
so we are informed, came up as high
as Columbia. There's hardly enough
water here to float Commodore Jenkins
new sombrero.
The Robt. E. Lee, leaving Delta last
Friday, had 1900 bales of cotton, about
half of which came from Monroe and
Trenton. Pretty good starter for this
early in the season.
Vicksburg Commercial: The Mis-.
sissippi river in front Of the elevator is
only about fifty feet wide, and the
greatest depth of water is twenty-five
inches, but the mud, twenty feet from
the waters edge, is from twenty to
twenty-five feet deep, and pole can
be easily sunk to that depth. Before
the cut off, the water at this point dur
ing low water was seventy feet deep,
and during high water was one hun
bred and ten feet deep.

Political.

Mr.. Tilden's friends did not appear at the
annual meeting of Tammany Hall, Monday
evening, so that John kelley's crowd had
things their own way
The greenbackers, it is stated, have decid-
ed to vote with the democrats for the political
amendments on the legislative appropriation
bill.
Democratic papers are hurrying back Ia
their ante-bellum position of servlity and
sycophancy with humiiating alacrity. The
Utica Observer already says that it was 'bru-
tai for Senator Chandler to call Jefferson
Davis a double-dyed traitor, and that he was
"a coarse Michigander" to do so.
On the first Monday Of June the people of
Illinois will elect the whole force of Judges
of the Circuit Courts and five Justices of the
Supreme Court. There is some legislation
pending in the General Assembly, which
may or may not be enacted, which may affect
the election of those of the Circuit Judges
who are to constitute the Appellate Court.
In Cook county Chicago there are To he

All Guy, which being interpreted means
Alice the Angel, was married to Charles
Jamison an interpreter, in San Francisco a
fortnight ago. The bridegroom had finished
up his future home with Chinese and Ameri-
can furniture. On the walls were hung
number of large strips of red paper, on which
were stamped Chinese proverbs relating TO
married life. On a table in the first room
were lacquered trays, containing Chinese
dried fruits and Swectmeats, while on others
were tiny cups for tea. There were also on
the table, Chinese ornaments and several wa
ter-pipes. One afternoon at > clock, the
chaperons conducted the bride to the rooms
of her future husband but before she crossed
the threshold of the door they threw a heavy
handkerchief over her head. and shut out
everything from her sight. This they told
her was to warn her that in en-
tering the married state she was cropping in
the dark future. The bridal pair knelt before
a small altar from which hung ancestral tab
lets, and each offered a prayer, after which
they went into the other room where they
seated themselves. One of the chapcrons
poured tea into two of the cups, and offered
these to groom and bride, telling each to take
a sip. This being done. they took the cups
again, mixed the contents, and returning
them to the pair, told them to drink, saying
that as their lips had touched the beverage.
they would draw inspiration from each other
by partaking of the mixture. The bride ac-
companicd by the chaperons, followed by
the groom and some relatives. headed pro-
cession and left the house. amid the explo-

Davis and Logan.

Senator Logan gave his judicial colleague
hard question or two to answer after the
latter had got through his speech. Indeed
Davis did not answer, and has not yet given
an answer to the queries put to him, as the
following account of the affair will show:
General Logan asked if he understood his
colleague Alright in saying that the laws are
now obeyed in all parts of the country.
When Mr.. Davis nodded assent lookers-on
expected to hear some allusi0n to the recent
election troubles in the South which would
doubtless have provoked hot words from
Southern Senators Senator Logan produced
instead copy Of the annual report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. from
which he read table showing that within the
year the number of seizures of Illicit distil-
leries among the IA 00o. 900 of the population
of the South WAS l.25s. while among the
1000. 900 of the North they numbered only
81. The number of persons arrested in the
South for the violation Of Internal reYepne
laws was 9 1885, against 81 in the whole North.
The number of officers killed while striving
TO execute the national laws was ). while the
number Of wounded was II. and all of these
casualties had occurred in the South.
III was amusing yet rather painful To see the
honorable Senator's benevolent purpose met
IN this spirit by one of the parties for whose
benefit he had been working. The honorable
Senator squirmed uneasily while Senator Lo-
gan repeated and summarized the results of
the years work by the Internal Revenue OF
flee.
Senator Davis then replied with some i'm
patience that there might be more whiskrv
thieves in the South than in the North; that
was not one of the points he was discussing.
"But, repeated Senator Logan, THAT re-
ply is not sufficient. ] put it to my colleague
whether he can point to a single murder or
the wounding Of single officer in the dis
charge of his duty in the North"
Senator Davis YEARLY repeated that the
point was not essential and gave il up.
Senator Withers and Senator Gordon. each
of whom had manifested a disposition to re-
ply to Senator Logan, thought better of it.
The matter dropped, and with it the best
part Of Senator Davis speech.
