SACRAMENTO, Feb. Ex-senator
Grove l.. johnson, OF Sacramento,
In the course of his speech in favor
Of baukrupting the State for the
benefit Of the Debris echemers,
said: ~ want this proposition de-
cidvd on the broad basis of-.Shall
the Slate Of California do some
thing in this matter?' Don't let it
be decided on the basis of whether
u levee has been constructed oD the
right side Of the river, or whether
William H. Parks 10 the right man
in the right place. Let US put the
question OH higher plane. 1t Is
q State question, going directly to
your heads and hearts. Southern
California ought to be soundly
spanked and sent to bed. It's rep
ressntatives came here shrieking
for an appropriation and when they
failed to get 1t their constituents
organized movement to secede
from the State. This sectionalism
n out of place. 1t does not belong
here. There Ia another side to this
question. There was u time when
ii Dorado had q larger delegation
In the Legislature than San Fran
cisco. Then the miners did not leg
islate sgainst other sections Of the
State"

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-The
water has reached franklin street,
the entire section west being sub.
merged between the new canal and
the Bayou st. John. The. water
now covers all west Of Prieur street
except strip OF o few squares on
Canal street north OF the Bayou st.
John and the Old Basin. The
water covers almost the entire sec.
tiou west of. Claiborne street and
far down Elysian Field street. All
the vegetable gardens In the real
Of the city are damaged AMI some
loss Of stock ts reported. No essi'
mate can be made OF the damage
done by the overflow, and even
greater damage seems probable
since the water continues rising
The Fair grounds are entirely sub
merged. On Claibourpe street the
street cars are only running to thu
bridge on the Old Basin. The bal
auce Of the road 10 I'm passable. Th'
greatest difficulty IL experienced
BY the inhabitants OF the over
flowed districts in securing provis
ions, This district embraced ahou
500 thickly.settled acres, lynn
along the Louisville, and Mash
Vile, and New Orleans and Mobit
Railroads. In all probability
will be many days before trains
cars can pass over the road.
