THE FLOODS IN ILLIxoIs.

The river at Quincy, Illinois, is ris-
ing rapidly and the water Is spreading
over an area several miles in extent.
II IL impossible TO compute the immense
amount OF damage that will result from
this food, but IL will aggregate several
hundred thousand dollars. A slight
idea Of the damage may be gained from
the fact that IN extent OF country forty
miles long and from four to ten miles
wide was protected by the embankment.
This Is probably the richest farming
land In the state, and rs n consequence
the yield Of grain this year would have
bean enormous.
The news OF the break at midnight
spead like wild-6re, but 1t scarcely pre-
coded the rushing Of the terrible flood
Of water, and the excitement during
the night was intense. Families were
compelled to leave their homes, In many
cases with scarcely any clothing on, and
fee for theirl lives. The river at the cut
of, where the creyasse occurred, is forty
feet deep, and the water poured through
in vast volume and with overwhelming
force.
An entire family, believed 10 be Mr..
Treemer, his wife and all their children,
were drowned. No trace can be found
Of them Or Of their house. They lived
but q few rods below the point where
the break occurred. Mr.. Treemer was
q farmer who had considerable means
and was q man who was very highly
respected.
So rapidly did the water rise that
men, women and children rushed upon
the embankment to save themselves,
and they did not have Sufficient time to
get to the high ground east Of the river.
Tho break has been anticipated for sew
eral days, and hundreds Of men have
been ct work strengthening and watch
ing the embankment; but the greatest
danger was believed to DO at Cincinnati
landing. Tuesday evening n large
party Of men left Louisiana for the
landing, being summoned by q report
that q break was imminent at that
point, and responded to the alarm
sounded by the ringing Of bells.
In order to get their wheat threshed,
the harvesting Of the wheat crop was
begun about three weeks ago and
threshing commenced last Wednesday.

An oriental traveller describes this
busy scene, witnessed on historic shores:
sour steamer landed ON a beach which
was the port ofAntioch, where the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
There was no town ut the waters edge,
no people, no wharf. The passengers
and the merchandise were put ashore
in lighters, which ran up into the sand.
A troop Of camels, with their drivers,
lay on the beach, ready to transfer the
goods into the interior. Among the
articles landed were boxes marked DIR.
j. c. AVER & Co., LOWELL, MASS,
U. $. A. showing that they contained
medicines and whence they came.
These with other goods were hoisted on
the backs Of camels, for transportation
to Antioch. Thus the skin Of the west
sends back its remedies to heal the mall
aides Of populations that inhabit those
eastern shores, whence our spiritual
mamma came" - Windsor (pt.) Chron-

THE NULLIFIERS.

Every day of his presidential
term strengthens the feeling that
Mr.. Hayes is clearSheaded polls
tician and a statesman, above what
he was considered when be was first
in lucted into office. His "policy,"
which at first SO threatened the ex-
istence of his party, has proven
itself to contain seeds of good, which
have terminated, grown and now
appear a plant Of surprisingly lux.
uriant growth. His fight with the
nul!iGers has brought him in sym,
pathy with all classes of his party,
aud his conduct Of it has given
campaign material of almost meal
culable value. BY bis veto mes.
sages, which were models of state
papers, he has exposed the machi-
nations of the ''brigadiers," and
pointed out so that all "who run
may read the end they would
accomplish, if left alone to work
out their schemes as they wished.
His last veto---of the immediate
deficiency appropriation bill-only
served to lay open more plainly, il
such a thing was possible, the null.
flying tendencies of the present ma.
Jority in congress. He did not veto
the army appropriation bill because
he did not consider the extraneous
legislation to be of sufficient impor.
lance, and bis failure to do this
only served to place the real issue in
q narrower compass and prevent the
confusion oft. Another thing gained
by this refusal is to show most con,
clusively to the country that he is
not actuated in his course by merely
q csptious sentiment, but that be il

Gov. Hoyt's course was ill-advised
and wrong, Mockery Of justice is
becoming all too common of late
days. Money and high position is
too powerful in preventing punish
ment, for crimes committed. If
Kemble and associates were guilty,
the fact that they were prominent
should not have kept them from o
fate reserved for poorer wretches.
1t is claimed that the form of the
sentence was not exactly formal,
but that is a very small excuse for
their course, when the fine and dis
abilities still remain recorded against
them. Gov. Hoyt, in our opinion,
lost the opportunity of his life both
in a personal and political sense.
He will be fortunate if his action
does not work injury to himself and
his party.

position as a coordinate and not in
ferior branch Of our governmental
machinery. His message makes
very clear the fact that the legisla-
ton attached to the vetoed bill was
dangerous in its tendencies and abb
solute nullifraton. And the cir
cumstances surrounding the case are
uncontrovertable evidence that null,
LITIGATION was the real animus of the
democrats. Congress has been in
session Eve months, but instead Of an
attempt to repeal the statutes so OBJ
noxious to them in legal manner,
it has been content to resolve itself
into county court or petty Justices
Office, these proceedings being varied
only by resolution of itself into
thieves den, for the purpose of
stealing states right to
elect its own members to that
body.
The issue which President Hayes
veto messages have forced upon the
democrats can be stated in few
words. 1t is only: "Can congress
nullify existing laws by a refusal to
appropriate money to enforce
them 2" This is one of those beau,
tiful questions on which the demos
Gratis will 60 before the
country and claim the right to adj
minister its laws and control its
destinies. Notification, pure and
unadulterated; notification by un-
lawful and revolutionary means, is
to be the motto inscribed Oh their
battle flags. This is Calhoun's and
South Carolina s doctrine without o
shadow of change, except slightly
different change in locality, and is
only one of the many instances
where history repeats itself. With
this issue they expect to 60 before
the sturdy, intelligent yeomanry of
the country and return with victory
perched upon their banners. They
do not recognize that hundred
years has taught the lesson that the
common sense of the multitude can
not be blinded to real facts, and in
this only preserve their past reputa>
ton of being the phenomenal blum
derers Of the world.

ORTIZ vs.. SPRINGER.

Mr.. Springer, the notorious dems
ocratic congressman from Illinois, is
unfortunate here ofsiate in having
himself placed in awkward positions.
First came the Washburn- Donnelly
affair, and now Mr.. Oith's personal
explanation which was published
few days ago in our dispatches,
crowns the column. The matter is
in connection with the Venezuela
claims case, in which Mr.. Orth was
implicated. Mr.. Springer was acts
ing as prosecutor in the congress
sional investigation and framed the
report. Mr.. Orth claims that two
reports were made, an official one to
the house, exonorating him and
another published in western pa
per covering him with disgrace.
Explanation of this is found in the
then existing circumstances. He
was at that time, in 1876, republican
candidate for governor of Indiana,
and that published report caused
his withdrawal. Mr.. Springer ad-
mits that two reports were made,
and acknowledges that the fraudu-
lent one having had the effect it was
intended to, he, at the request of
Orth's friends, was willing to spare
him the disgrace of the official one.
In other words, the first, a false
campaign document, prepared as
such, was published, and the true
report which exonorated Mr.. Orth
was reported. Mr.. Springer's ex-
PLANTATION does not help him in the
least, and any way the matter is
viewed his conduct ought to be
enough to damn him in the estima>
ton of all honest men.

THE PENNSYLVANIA BRIBERY
CASE.

The cases of Kemble and his
''coparceners," which just now are
attracting public attention, are out
growths of the great labor troubles
of 1877. The troubles are still
fresh in the minds of the people. A
most formidable strike, extending
through several states, was brought
about by proposed reduction of
railroad, mining and other employees.
AT first, the strike was conducted in
a comparatively harmless manner,
but when some time had elapsed,
and the demands of the working
men were not complied with, and
when, also, a band of troublesome
spirits, loafers and agita:ors had
gained control, it began to assume
the character of a riot. The strik-
ers who seemed to make their head
quarters at Pittsburgh, took pos
session of the property of the
Pennsylvania railroad company, and
when the presence upon the scene
of military and police forces con,
WINGED them that they would soon
be dielodged, work of Wholesale
arson began.
After the riot had been quelled,
the owners of property destroyed
by the rioters brought suit against
Allegheny county for damages in.
CURED thereby. Due process of Law
proving too tardy, they had bill
introduced in the Pennsylvania legis,
lature, then in session, to reimburse
them for their losses. The popular
feeling ran so high against the bill
that it became probable that it
would be lost unless outside inAu.
ence was brought to bear on the
Legislators, and, consequently,
Kemble and his associates, a pow
erful lobby with unlimited amounts
of money, came down upon Harris
burgh. The former was a most in.
fuential man in Pennsylvania poll,
tics, was formerly state treasurer
and very wealthy man. The bill
passed and charges of bribery made,
an investigation was ordered and
they were proved to be true. Suit
was brought and the defendants
pleaded "guilty" with certain "ex-
ceptions. A sentence was passed
upon them of one year in the peni,
Tertiary at hard labor, one thousand
dollars fine, and loss of the right Of
citizenship.
For reasons, good or bad, Gov.
Hoyt saw fit to remit a part of
their sentence, viz, hard labor, the
board of appeals recommending it.
1t may be that we are not in pos.
session of all the facts in the case,
for certain mitigating circumstances
are claimed, but it seems to us that
