bers were put IN the lookup, and the mayor
gave them four hours to leave, Governor Cor

TIE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The flood In the Mississippi, contrary To our
conjecture last week, does not abatc, but at last
accounts, between Quincy and ST. Louis, the
water was still rising BY the break in the
Warsaw lcyee above Quincy about $4,000 acres
Of land were overlooked, most of which was
covered with corn.
At Quincy on Thursday the water was still
rising, having reached Is feet inches above
low water mark, and 9 inches above the spring
flood. The railroads are among the most Sc
rious sufferers, all communication south and
west being cut off.
The Sny lcvee in addition TO the break be
low Quincy, has broken below Hannibal, and
at last accounts but about six of the sixty
miles OF land protected by the levee was above
water The river below the break is now
about seven miles wide, dotted here and there
with farm houses, many of which are partly
submerged and ali deserted The corn crops
on Sny Island and the adjacent bottoms were

spring, but all is nearly lost now, and larg,

WASHINGTON ITEMS,

All the cabinet rumors and spcculations
have resolved themselves into this that except
| Window the entire cabinet rs now constituted
will hold on at least until the meeting OF con
gress in December. For Windows place, cx.
Gov. Morgan of y. Y. was appointed on Tues
day and confirmed, but declined to accept, up.
on which the President sent in the name OF
Judge Folger Of New York, who On Thursday
was also promptly confirmed. The under
standing is that Judge Folger consents to hold
the treasury only until winter, when Conkling
will take his place and Judge +. will get a
place on the supreme bench.
Sherman's anxiety to get the report of the
treasury investigation IN regard to the Pitney
scandal before the senate was gratitied on
Monday and the report sent H. unaccompani-
cd by the evidence, which Sherman stoutly
insisted should be omitted AS anticipated,
the report confirms all the stories about the
Pitney frauds even up to paying for the Sher.
man supper by pretended purchase of can
dies, but there is, just as Sherman of course
knew beforehand, no intinatlon that Sherman
knew how the supper was paid for.
Tyner, the first assistant p. NJ General upon
whose removal James insisted for being too
intimate with the star route thieves but who
begged hard to be retained, had to succumb to
the inevitable and got the bounce, Frank Hat
ton, the funny man of the Burlington Hack
eye, having been appointed In his place.
Alas tor German and Rddleberger! The re.
publcans in the senate have not dared to ven.
ture upon an election Of new officers, but on
Wednesday, on motion of Edmunds, the pres
ent democratic chiefclcrk Shuber was appoint.

changed.
The senate finally adjourned last evening.

SUPREME JUDGE,-Anent the election next
June OF Supreme Judges in tins state, the St
Louis Republican expresses the opinion that
If the republicans who have disposition to
dispute the right Of Judge Alfred NJ Craig to
succeed himself run single man, they will
retire HIM, but fsome three or four ambitious
gentlemen, and there are plenty CT them of the
republican persuasion, enter the arena, the
Judge can beat all of them a great deal easier
than one, and we have no doubt that he would
much prefer to test his strength in that way.
Our impression Is that Judge Craig will
have little more trouble to beat one than half
a dozen of opposing republican candidates
The people of this district are satisfied with
him, as far as we can learn, and while Judge
G. Is perhaps more greenbacker than dem
ocrat or republican, the voters will most pro-
badly, as heretofore, ignore politics entirely
and vote for the man whom on a fair trial,
they have found Satisfactory
