More OF the Christiancy scandal-Ths
Radicals Gradually Giving Up the
Fight.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Some OF the
testimony taken in the Christiancy di-
vorce case TO day is regarded as import.
ant. Mary Alleger, with whom the
Senator and Mrs. Christiancy boarded
while in the Senate, testified that she
spent nearly all OF Christmas day, 1879,
with Mrs. Christiancy at the residence
Of the latter's father; that Mrs. Chris
tiancy was sick and did not leave the
house all day. That was the day that,
it is charged, Mrs. Christisncy met Giro
at the st. James Hotel. Mrs. Alleger's
testimony is considered pretty con.
elusive, but Christiancy's lawyers say
they will produce testimony TO rebut
and to contradict that Of to-day.
Some Of the Republican Senators now
express themselves in favor Of the ex-
ecutlve session for confirmation Of Ger.
tain nominations and the general belief
seems TO be that this policy will be
adopted soon, though this conclusion
may be reached without the necessity Of
holding caucus.
No criminal cases can be tried in this
district because there is no United
States Marshal to serve the processes,
and the Indian bureau is embarrassed
for the want OF the legitimate head to
direct il.

FEARFUL FLOOD.
Wisconsin Towns sInundated-GrestL Loss
of Property.


Of Property.
MILWAUKEE, April lS.-A special TO
the Republican from the interior oil Wis
consin reports alarming floods at Fou
Du Lac. The river is a raging torrent.
At 5 p. NJ. it was fearful sight, the wa
ter having overflowed the banks and
submerged great many streets. The
entire western portion Of the city
is entirely under water, which is
still rising. Families in the Third,
Fourth, Sixth and Seventh wards have
been compelled to evacuate their prem
ises, and the lumber yards also are con-
verted into floating wood yards. The
narrow. guage tracts are under water and
several washouts have already resulted.
On the Southern and Western wash
outs are also reported. The damage
will be immense and it is useless to esti-
mate it now, as the flood just seems to
have commenced
Specials to the Republican continue to
come in from all parts OF the State. The
rivers all through the southern hall OF
Wisconsin are rising remarkably fast,
and trains on all lines more or less de-
layed. The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul track between Milwaukee and
Chicago is covered with water
in the vicinity OF Wadsworth,
and trains are delayed on the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore and West
ern track. The north is flooded for
miles. The regular passenger trains from
Wansea had an engine and baggage car
detached four miles south OF Meq-
uor. The engineer was slightly injured.
The Milwaukee is rising very fast, but
no change OF any consequence done yet
at Racine. The Rock river is perfect
flood; two vessels broke from the moor
ings and were bady damaged. In al
most every town considerable damsge
was done by the eoverhowing OF strerms.

There are kind-hearted people who
make it their especial business

The old plan was to let the arriving
emigrant become the prey Of the Board
ing house keeper. To call this creature
a "shark" is to do injustice to the most
yoracious of all fish. His appetite for
immigrants was utterly unappeasable::
Decoving them into his house, he would
feed them ON the poorest fare ana put
them to sleep on the hardest beds. Ii
they had any money he would wheedle
them out OF it on one pretence or
another. His final act OF hospitality was
generally to sell them tickets Tor railroad
passage TO the West, which when pre-
ssnted to the railroad officials were
found to be forgeries. The "Emigrant
Boarding House" OF that sort is now a
thing OF the past. The business was
broken up. OF course there are places
where immigrants can board, but they
are under such supervision as to pre-
vent the old style OF frauds AT the
Office in Castle Garden the traveller may
now purchase his ticket to any part OIL
the country or may get his ioreign
money changed into our currency, or
NAV procure drafts on foreign countries
to remit to the friends he has
Left Behind HIM.
The boarding house man oil Old was
always ready to perform these KIND Oh
offices for him, but the manner OF his
transactions was unsatisfactory. There
was generally something wrong about
the character Of the money he gave his
customers in exchange for foreign coin.
The eagles and double-eagles had a
brazen ring about them. the bank notes
were too often those OF old insolvent in
stitutions, and the drafts on foreign
banks represented mo funds"
Most OF the folks who came to-day are
going westward, and many oil them are
going Immediately. BY tomorrow
night there will hardly be two dozen left
OF all the hundreds now coming. While
We welcome the coming guest, We speed
him in his going, especially il he is GO
ing where he will make himself useful.
The large cities OF the seaboard are
crowded Just now, but there is room
enough in the great big West for thou
sands OF ship loads OF such men and wo-
men as have landed to day.

charge the care Of the freedmen coming
from the South, that the Board has re-
ceived, cared for and distributed over

began, and has been the means OF turn
ing 10000 more into other States.
Mr.. Henning also says that
the Board has done all in its power TO
check the incoming OF the colored
people from the South, spending much
money in the effort. but without avail.
They are bound to come, they say, to
Kans, 9, the home of old John Brown.
He further said the exodus has begun

pie are now moving, or preparing to

from Southern commercial centres o, un.

that, Mr.. Henning says, is beyond their
