EXTRACTS FROM JAPANESE JoURNALs.-ARRIvAL
AT YOKOHAMA.

ABOUT half-past seven this morning the Oceanic
was signalled, and Immediately there were signs
of activity among the shipping, as it was OBJ
served that the steamer few the Hawaiian flag.
The Mitsu Bishi steamers hastily decked their
rigging with bunting and as the vessel threaded
her way through the shipping, the yards of the
men-of-war were manned and a salute of twenty
one guns fired in honor of King Kalakaua.
The King of Hawaii physically is a fine man,
tall and stout, with very intelligent features.
His Majesty made himself particularly sociable
during the passage, conversing freely with all,
and so made many friends.
His Majesty landed at the Port Admiral's
office, Benten, at 8. 30A.M., where he was received
by several Japanese of distinction, including
members of the Imperial family and Prince
Date. The King was dressed in plain clothing,
and protected from the cold by a large ulster.
At 1O.45 the King left Benten for Nogeyama, a
detachment of marines being drawn up at the
gate of exit from the Port Admiral's ofics and
n naval band played as the carriage passed out.
An immense crowd lined the road to Nogeyama.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
A Family Imprisone d Week by
the Water.

QUINCY. ILL.,, Oct. 90. The height of water
at this point is nineteen feet above low water
mark. An immense flow of water has been
let into the surrounding country districts by
the break in the Sny levee, but it can add
but little to the general destruction of prop
erty. 1t had been supposed that everybody
had escaped from the bottom lands between
here and the Palmyra bluffs on the Missouri
side, distance of thirteen miles, but yester-
day, party of duck hunters out in skiff
discovered a family named Hutchman, in a
house four miles from dry land. They bad
been imprisoned week. The family con-
sisted of husband, wife and three children.
They were conveyed to the high ground,
where they we're cared for by farmers.
All the railroads south and west from here
remain suspended except the Hannibal & St.
Joseph, which is still running. All the in
habitants of Sny Valley have taken refuge
on the high grounds. and many of them have
come to this city. The water is still spread
ing over thousands of acres of fertiles farms.
The loss to farmers will be very heavy. All
the levees in this vicinity have been broken
by the great pressure of water, and the low
lands are now completely flooded. This is
the greatest flood ever known at this season
of the year, and there is no record of .
higher stage any time except during the
spring freshet in 1851.

To Republicans Abandon the
Fight Over 6tratham,
And the Senate Adjourned
Sine Die.

WAsuIyerox, Oct. %. The executive
session of the Senate closed At 2 so A. NJ
No decided action was taken on Stratham 9
nomination, and when the doors opened the
Senate adjourned to meet at noon today
Most Of the entire time Of the executive ses
sion after midnight vas consumed in calling
the roll on various dilafory motions. At the
afternoon session, in the course of the de-
bate, Senator Ferry, chairman of the COM
mittee on post Offices and post roads. who
reported the nomination of Stratham favora-
bly, twitted the democrats in forcible
s,eecb. with having supported a man who
did not want the Ly nchburg post Office and
in this connection, read the following letter
from Wilson, which was a revelation Of the
democrats
LrScHBURG. Oct. q, 1881.
To Thos. L. James, Postmaster General
Dear Sir: In the contest now going on IN
the Senate, desire you TO understand that
am taking no part in the contest against
Stratham, and that am not an applicant for
reappointment. deem it to be very I'M
fortu nate complication. l have the honor 10
be your obedient servant,
IF WILSON, p. NJ.
Both sides we're glad to drop the matter
after that. Stratham will be appointed post
master at Lynchburg. If his confirmation
cannot be secured at the next session, he
will act right along, and will be reappointed
after the Senate adjourns. and so on, just az
Donaldson was appointed and reappointed
marshal for Mississippi by Andrew jackson
for eight years, being confirmed by the Sen
ate. But il is quite probable that he will be
quietly confirmed at the next session.

IR ELAND.


New York, Oct. 80. A Dublin special
gives the text of the PASTORAL to be issued
by Archbishop McCabe today, in which he
saws: Only few days ago over confiding
men were startled by the publication Of a
manifesto, which at once assaied the eternal
law of God, and struck at the foundations on
which society rests. There are hundreds of
honest, industrious men among us. who, trust
ing their faith in the public conscience and
calculating on the security which duly con-
stituted government is expected to give, have
invested the fruits of their years of toll and
self sacrifice in property, from which they
hoped they and theirs might draw the means
of honorable subsistence. But all this must
be swept away by the breath of few men,
not one Of whom have any interest or any
thing at stake in the country. If the notices
"Pay no Rents" be not the teaching of COM
munism, then communism is yet to be de-
fined. Let no one suppose that we have
word to say in the defence of the oppressors
of the poor, for we felt as keenly as the most
outspoken Of our brethren of inspired min
istration, of the cruel injuries worked by bad
laws on the defenceless tenants of Ireland,
but we must not allow our adherence of the
injustice to betray US into the reduction of
the claims of justice. If today the landlords
claim to his just rent be questioned, who will
guarantee the tenants right to his outlay of
money and toll tomorrow. Injustice will
repay injustice, and on the day of retribution
the wrong doer will be laughed at when he
seeks for sympathy in his trouble
The issue is now plainly put to our people
which of the two paths they will follow.
Whether they will follow the men who have
marked out the road that must lead to anger
with good and disgrace before the Christian
world or the bishops of Ireland, who though
a glorious and unbroken succession of four
teen centuries, as the heirs of the heirs of
those who encountered poverty and death in
its most terrible form, for the people with
their lives are irrevOcable bound up.

The doctors of divinity disagree as to
the revised version of the Scriptures,
Which, by the way. seems already to be
sinking out of public notice without hav-
ing gained much Of foot-hold in public
use. At the Episcopal congress in Provi-
dence the revision was discussed, and the
clergymen who took part were about
equally divided as to its merits. Phillips
Brooks was perhaps the most emphatic in
its praise. and said that if man came to
him asking what Christianity is he would
not dare offer him Bible full Of acknOwl-
edged errors, when he could give him q
book in which the errors had nearly all
been corrected. Several clergymen. how
ever. denounced the changes made as in
furious, and the discussion. on the whole.
cannot be a comfort to the revisers.

The following conversation was held at
Albany last week, with Sam Lowery, well
known antiConkling republican;
"Do you expect to carry the State?"
"Yes, sir" he replied. "Of course we
shall. The democrats are not wise enough

candidate will be third in the race.
"And the Senator ~

are opposed to him now. but in ten days
they will favor him. We support Fox be-
cause We like him, and they will support
him because they must. Gov. Cornell wants
a denomination next year, and he knows il
woald not be worth taking if the State went
democratic this year. That is the reason
we shall carry the State"
''How does Mr.. Conkling stand p
"well. Mr.. Conkling doesn't care how the
State goes. He is mad all through. He has
no future in politics; but Gov. Cornell has,

court, said Pryor is enjoined from furthed
prosecution of parties, who have been gar
nished, and that within ave days he shall re-
