WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. G., May rs, 1881.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May rs, 1881.
The administration might be con
fidont in the strength that hundred
thousand Offices give it, but does not
seem to be. Secretary Blaine hai
gone to New York, in the midst of
the great Senatorial fight, and no
number of assurances will convince
the people that he did not go in the
interest OF the -Conkling PARTY.
If he went at the request or with the
consent of the President, the latter
has been guilty OF an net showing
even u greater disregard for the dig
nifty of his office than was shown in
/ his repeated statements, Il fortnight
ago, that Republican Senator'S would
be rewarded or punished accordingly
DIS they voted for or against Robert
sons confirmation. If Blaine went of
his own motion the trip can be more
easily accounted for, though in no
way excused. His bitter personal
hostility to Conkling has caused him
before this to make unseemly displays
Of himself. None of them, however,
were so utterly objectionable as this,
for then he represented only a State,
but now is the head of the Cabinet
and represents the administration
and-however indecently he may
acts supposed to net for the whole
people. Nothing could aid MIR. Conk-
ling more than this journey of the
Secretary of State, displaying Us it
docs at once the fears and faults of
the administration. ..
For many reasons, Secretary Win
dom and Postmaster General James
are to be commended. They left po-
litical intrigue and discussion behind
them when they entered the Cabinet.
They attend strictly and laboriously
to the business of their very impor-
tant Departments. They are vigor-
Dusly endeavoring to find out any il
-egularities or frauds that exist, or
ire possible as their forces have been
md are now organized. Both have
'ound occasion to dispense with the
services of high subordinates, and
ire pushing Investigations which
must end in the retirement Of many
more. 1t is an instructive fact that
III these displaced and suspected par
les are old employees and have grown
lp with the faults Of administration
# their Bureaus. BY ndby we shall
,e well enough educated in govern :
nent affairs TO know that frequent '
Ranges in Cabinet and Bureau off 7

The Rise In the Mississippi.

KEoKUK, Ia, Oct. 26.-The river last
night rose an inch. A further rise of sew
eral inches is being anticipated by river
men, when it is expected the water will
receede. The situation of affairs at AL
exandria, five miles below, is lamentable,
it being one of the worst inundations the
town has ever experienced. All that can
get away have left, taking with them
their household effects A number of cit
izens are living on second stories of build
ings and have skiffs moored in front of
their dwellings in case of emergency.
The loss to property has been great. The
tracks of the Missouri, Iowa Sc Nebraska,
the Rock Island, the St. Louis, and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy roads
leading to this city are under water. The
river at 10 o'clock a. m. was twelve inches
above the rise last spring, and lacks two
feet and four inches of the great rise
of 1851, which occasioned so much dis
tress.
BURLINGTON, Ia, Oct. 2e.-The lriver is
still rising slowly. 1t is thought to lbe five
inches above the high water mark of 1880.
QUINCY, Ills, Oct. 26-The river has risen
nearly two inches since last evening. The
railroads are suffering greatly from the high
water and freight traffic continues absolutely
suspended Passengers for the South are
taken three miles below the city in omnibusses
to reach the cars, trains not being able to come
any further this way. The river is now eight
cen feet six inches above low water mark

Proceedings of the Senate.

Senator Ransom offered resolution pro-
viding that the power and authority invested
in the committee on commerce by resolution
adopted May 9, 1881, with reference to inquiry
into the condition of the Potomac river at
Washington, DC, be continued during the en-
suing recess, and that the committee report
in December next. Adopted
Senator Butler offered resolution directing
the committee on printing to enquire why the
agricultural reports for 1880 have not been
distributed to congress. Adopted.
Senator Sherman called up the resolution
offered by him yesterday, for investigation
into the disbursement of contingent fund of
the treasury department, and modified it SO as
to read as follows:
"To investigate accounts for expenditures
of the several appropriations for the contin-
gent or other expenses of the several depart
ments, including method of making such
disbursements, character and disposition of
purchases made, and employment of labor
paid from such appropriations and to report
at as early day as possible, what further leg
islation is necessary to secure proper dis
bursements such appropriations and that the
committee have leave to send for persons and
papers and to sit during recess of the senate" :"
The resolution was adopted and on Sher-
mans motion the incline report was referred
to the committee on appropriations.

was decided by the chairman reading from
the call, that all States were included.
Committees were then appointed on creden-
tials, order of business, and resolutions, and
the convention adjourned until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow.
The following is the committee on resolu-
tions: Arkansas, VIM. F. Fishback; Alabama,
Chas. Taylor; Iowa, VIM. II. Vanderfcr; Ken

Several delegations held meetings tonight,
apd put themselves in shape to fight
the policy, of combining the de.
for appropriations for the Mississippi river
alone, and will insist upon the full recogni-
tion of its tributaries. Some of the delega-
tions, notably those from states bordering on
the Ohio and Missouri rivers, will no doubt
vote squarely against any plan or policy that
does not place all navigable tributaries on the
same footing as the main river. Some of the
Wisconsin delegations from the lumber region
of that state are also strong tributary men.
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATES COMMISSION.
The Mississippi Valley States Commission,
permanent organization, composed at pres
ent of three representatives from seventeen
valley states, appointed for life by the gov
ernors of those states, met at their rooms
in the Merchants Exchange building to-day.
Hon. Eugene Underwood, of Louisville, pres
ident, was in the chair and the regular secre
tary. ''Plotte Walder'' of Minnesota was pres
cnt. No obusiness was transacted by the COM
mission, some thirty members of which are
delegates to to the river convention. The
commission will meet again tomorrow. This
commission was organized three years ago for
the purpose of collecting statistics, devising
plans and memorializing congress for the i'm
tributaries. 1t will observe the action of the
river commission and may approve its recon-
mendations.

ters, at present with the Wabash. st.
Louis g. Pacific Railway company, at
Toledo, O., writing Secretary Young, of
the state board Of emigration, gives some
Of the results OF his observations Of the
impulses operating to cause the steady
emigration now going on from the older
states of the Union, as well as from Eu-
rope, to the states west of the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. He says, speaking
of Ohio:
They (the emigr ants) left for the same rea-
sons that people leave Europe and other east
ern states-that Is, they were flying from
high priced land. This movement is inevita-
bic on the part CT those possessed of only
moderate means, who are living where land is
$50 per acre, or over, if they indulge in any
hopes, with any prospect whatever of realiz-
alton thereof of ever gainiug competency.
This they cannot reach on high h-priced land. I
don't care whether they are tenant farmers,
small merchants or salaried clerks or profess
ional men. None of them from the avails of
labor are ever again going to secure homes,
in town or country, Of any great value. The
door is closed in his oloer part of the coun-
try. The outlook for the class have men,
TONED is absolutely hopeless. Of course,
refer to the majority. Some few, by extra ex-
ertion and great self-denial may disprove what

borers in this region twenty years hence when

In my judgment the movement to the west
from the eastern and middle states Will be
greater during the next five and ten years

ANTI-MONOPOLY.

Enthusiastic Meeting at Cooper Institute,
New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The anti-monopoly
mass meeting at Cooper Union was largely
attended. Peter Cooper presided and said if
the principles of the League were carried out
they would do more to secure happiness and
prosperity to the people than has ever been
accomplished before.
A resolution Was adopted declaring that
public welfare and public safety demands the
following specific measures: Relief laws,
compelling transportation companies to base
their charges upon "cost and risk of SERVICE"
with fair profit added, instead of "what the
traffic will bear;'' laws to establish through
construction companies or other devices of
fcticions cost for works of public nature;
prohibiting unjust determinations against
both citizens and localities; railroad commits
sioners, state and national with ade-
quate powers to see that these laws
are enforced; amendments to our
bribery laws that will give immunity to per-
sons who accept oribes for the purpose of ex-
posing bribery, and amendments to our cleo
ton laws which will make our primary elec-
tions something more tina farce; liberal
policy toward our canals, which, during the
season of navigation, are potent in preventing
exorbitant charges by railroads.

THE RAILROAD WAR.
Yesterdays Developments In New York
and Chicago.

Yesterdays Developments In New York
and Chicago.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-The Times, of
Thursday morning, will say: "Affairs
took turn yesterday in the passenger
rate war that lends new interest to the
fight. At late hour yesterday it was
explained to q Times reporter at the
Grand Central depot, that new set of
rates will be adopted by the New York
as follows: Boston to Chicago via New
York, SIS; Boston to Chicago via AL
bany, So 10; New York to Chicago, So. .25.
Rates of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio from New York to Chicago
are $14. and from Boston SIS. The New
York Central, yesterday afternoon, sold
tickets from New York to Chicago for
1925. By the new rates of the Central
scalpers will have no opportunity to buy
Chicago tickets in Boston and selling
them for less than New York tickets can
be bought. An official, explaining, said:
"From this time on the Vanderbilt lines
will be governed by the course of no
other roads. Our business will be pro-
tected at all hazards What the Penn.
sylvania and Baltimore & Ohio roads will
do officers on the New York
Central and Hudson River roads
do not know and do not care.'
At this juncture gentleman entered and
announced that the Erie and Grand Trunk
roads which are operating together had
increased their rates and made
them the same as the Centrals. The re-
porter was subsequently informed at the
general passenger Office of the Erie
that orders had been issued
to sell tickets to Chicago from New York
for 1925 From all that could be learned
there is no doubt that the Erie will follow
the Central, at least SO far as the latter
keeps under the Pennsylvania. The Erie
adopted the rebate. system yesterday.
Scalpers were considerably puzzled at the
new order of things, and scarcely knew
what to make of it. Their offices were
thronged late in the afternoon,
and the Erie people seemed
to think it the last chance.
1t is quite likely to-day will witness some
interesting developments. The general
freight superintent of the Erie said he
had determined on no advance tariffs,
save such as were necessarily involved in
the increases demanded by the Washing
ton connectioes. The Lake Shore and
Michigan Central new rates announced
are 17% cents per hundred for grain and
22A cents for provisions.
CHICAGO, October 26.--The Michigan
Southern & Lake Shore road to-day de-
clared freight rate on grain from Chi
cago to New York of 1711a cents, and on
provisions, 221a cents, making the same
rates to Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
Grand Trunk advanced the grain rates
to New York to 16 cents, to Boston 20
cents, and to non competing points 25
