A Matter Of Law aid Interest.

The feud between the administration
and anti-administration Republicans has
broken out in fresh place, but still in a
senatorial election. The Senate seems to
he the great point of advantage for which
contention is made. The Grant -Conk-
ling Republicans are fully arrayed in all
their war-paint against the Blaine-Gar-
field warriors, similarly equipped, and the
war certainly bids fair to he one of ex-
termination, in which the chestnuts will
fall to the Democrats. The New Hamp-
shire Legislature, in its lower branch, has
fully determined, by an overwhelming
majority, that it will not elect senator
to succeed Senator Rollins until the
next legislature meets, which will not
he for two years, in June, 1883. The ques-
tion is one OF legal construction, but
the parties determine it according to
their interest. Senator Rollins would be
able to secure the caucus nomination
now; SO that his opponents, headed by
Blaine's man Friday, w. E. Chandler,
think that an election now is illegal. The
Democrats vote the same way, rs they
too have nothing to lose and chance
for some gain by: postponing the sena-
torial election until the new Legislature
is chosen in the fall of 1882. Yet the
supreme court of the state has given rs
its opinion that an election should be
held now. The words of the law of
Congress are against this construction, as
it requires senators to be elected by the
Legislatures chosen next preceding the
expiration of the senatorial term. That
would seem to say that the Legislature
chosen in 1882 should fill a vacancy &C.
curing March 4, 1888. And so the
United States Senate decided two years
ago in admitting Mr.. Bell, who was ap-
pointed by the governor to fill the three
months vacancy occurring between
March and june. The New Hampshire
Senate and supreme court are on one
side and the lower house on the other
and the stalwarts are with the Senate
and the half breeds with the House
and the latter pole being the longest, by
the grace of the Democrats, determines
the law and knocks down the persim.

In reply to Mr.. OILERS article in your

valves aud fire plugs, would call Mr..
OILERS attention to the minutes of the
water committee of April IL, 1881, where
no will see that the contract for furnish
ing six-inch stop valves was awarded to
me, aud upon that award l made a lot of
valves, all of which I have yet on hand !;
and Mr.. Diller Ga middle man in every
sense of the word) has been furnishing to
the city stop valves which were awarded
to me. agree with Mr.. Diller that 1
have never made valve the same as he is
furnishing the city, my valves being all
outside screws and much better valves.
As to the fire plugs I know nothing about
the contract. His honor the mayor told
me to make dozen fire plugs as soon as
possible.

Defense of the Unfortunate Lady.
In the Philadelphia Press of this morn

pressed is not by any means compliment

EPISODE Of THE PITTsBURGH FLOOD
PerilOus Ride of Lumberman Down tn
Allegheny River.
pfftalnrph pOaf

Psr'lous Ride Of q LumSerman Down the
Alleghony River.
Pittsburgh Post.
One of the most thrilling incidents of the
flood was the adventure which MIR. ON.
slaer, the wcll-known ice and lumber
dealer, had on the raging Allegheny and
Ohio rivers. His escape from death was
certainly miraculous. The particulars as
told by an eyewitness and himself are as
follows : At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
he was at work on a fleet of twenty seven
RATS, owned by himself and Mr.. Shoup,
and moOred at Herr Island. While secur-
ing them more tightly a mass of obstruc.
tiOn floating down stream broke the ropes
at the upper end of the timber and before
Mr.. Omslaer could throw cable to men
on the island the entire fleet moved out
into the swift current. Mr.. Omslaer re-
allied the perilOus position he was in, but
showed much presence Of mind by getting
the coils of loose rope ready to throw
ashore at the first opportunity. The RATS
were not together very strongly and at the
10th street bridge the one on which he was
standing struck pier and broke to pieces.
The other RATS were separated into five or
six defferent fleets. Mr.. Omslaer was left
standing on log and from this he jumped
upon another add another, trying to reach
one of the fleets. Each moment the water
washed the logs further apart, but the
brave lumberman managed to alisht firmly
on one or two at each leap, and finally
gained one of the whole RATS. This he
tried to steer out of the way of the other
bridge, but failed, and in short time it
too crashed up against tho stone and the
logs parted. Once more Mr.. Omslaer mau-
aged to reach another raft by leaping from
log to log.
At this point, between the railroad
bridge and the Hand street bridge, two
men ventured out with skiff on the
seething waters and yelled to Mr.. Oms-
laer that they were coming to his assist
ance. He replied that he would not leave
the RATS. They followed him for some
distance, but could not catch up. At the
Hand street Suspension and Union
bridges more RATS were wrecked, and
each time Mr.. Omslaer was compelled
to try log jumping to save his life. When
tho last bridge was passed he was still no t
clear of danger, and at several points en-.
countered dangerous distractions. He
was not able to effect landing until
arriving at Economy sixteen miles from
the city. Here he moored what was left
of the feet of twenty seven rafts-twO
small RATS. While at ono end of these
tying them to shore the "river pirates !"
boldly rushed on the other end and carried
of $50 worth of rope.
