Tonight the streets are clear of cars except

YANKToN, April 1.-THE river at a stand
to-day and ice is running in the channel. Ref

to Yankton. The military department has Or
dered an issue of rations through Capt.

level, where there has been great
destruction among steamboats, and
warehouses. Gayville, 200 people,
Moeckling 100, Burbank so, Vermillion 800,
Elk Point 1000, Jefferson 300, McCook 100,
are all on low bottoms, and are inundated.
The balance of the bottom is thickly covered
with farm houses, stock raising being the
chief industry.
Capt. Lavender and Capt. Noble returned
last night from sixteen days. cruise over the
bottoms. They have saved 40 people, taking
them from their houses to the bluffs in boats
As near as can be ascertained no moro than
half dozen lives have been lost by the food.
Upon the first break of the waters over the
banks parties started out to rescue the people
upon the bottoms and worked un-
ceasingly as long as there was
anything to do. The result is that
the great disaster is shorn of the horrors of
the expected large loss of life. Notice is re-
ceived to-day that subscriptions are being
started in cities of the East in behalf of the
sufferers.
Three of the Coulson's boats cast ashore by
the food will be launched inside of week,
and the disabled Peck line boats will be speed
lily placed in working order. The Benton line
of boats are in the worst shape, but good pro-
gress is being made in repairing them.
One man arrived from Mecklinton says there
are hundred and thirty people entiraly out
of provisions and unable to get over, the ice
field intervening. An expedition will leave
here in the morning to attempt to reach them.

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The Vice President
laid before the Senate the unfinished business,
being the resolution for the election of officers
Of the Senate.
The motion to 60 into executive session was
lost, yeas 20, nays-21, and Senator Morgan ad-
dressed the Senate.
Senator Brown followed and said at the
close of the war he had taken position for
absolute acquiesence in the reconstruction
measures, and after the adoption of the Fiji
teenth amendment he stood in favor of free
ballot and fair count. BE criticised the Re-.
publican party for injustice towards the col
ored race. If all negroes were,as was claimed,
Republicans, they constituted one.fourth of
the Republican party. What had
the party done for thems
Frederick Douglas the position OF marshal of
the District of Columbia, but he had not been
invited to do all the honors at the White house,
which had usually been performed by the mar
shal. There were seven cabinet ministers, and
not one of them represented the race which
composed one.fourth of the Republican party.
Republicans need not be astonished II, when
the Democrats met In grand council again,
they should do right by the negro as the Re-
publicans had failed to do.
Speaking of the Virginia question, Brown
said the Democrats proper-the intelligent
class of people Of that State-had stood man
fully up for maintaining the credit of the old
State, but if they were to understand that
the Republican party, in rendering
this issue to them, that It was intended to
take hold of the readjuster element and put
the negroes and readjuster In power, they
might find it necessary to drop their internal
strife and tremble over $4,000 ,000 of State
debt. If necessary to the reunion of the So
ciety they might tremble over 81, ,OO0, 900 more
of 1t, or let the whole go, rather than have
ruin brought upon the State by. putting. it
under the control % Of the people, siJas,
be allowed in Massachusetts,. The ewar had
ceased. The bloody shirt had been burned by
the Republican party when the party had taken
the Senator from Virginia, confederate brig
adler general, for its leader, and with that act
before the people, they wouldn't enter into an
other crusade to establish Republican power
in the South The South intended to become
the equal of the North in wealth and intelli-
gence. Then it would be respected. .
Senator Hoar replied to Browns speech and
a good humored discussion took place between
them, which was kept up till Senator Brown,
a statement made by
Hoar, and misquoting, was excitedly interro-
gated by Hoar as to whether he implied that
he (Hoar) had said what was not true.
Senator Brown denied any intention of mis-
taking the Senator's remarks, and good humor
was restored by Becks' simulated fear that the
Senate would lose both of the Senator's from
Georgia.
Senator Hawley also replied to some of the
remarks of Brown.
After some opposition from the Democratic
side the Senate adjourned until Monday.

no one now living may see another such

wanted some day, and meartime the

encouragement from the companies will
go good ways now, for the farmers and

Oh, no; not at all. You, of course,
have seen that he has commenced new
proceedings in the United States district
court at St. Louis against the Gray inter-
est, which is fighting him. These pre-
ceedings are based upon different grounds
than heretofore taken, and can say to
you, that the commodore and his legal
advisers are very confident that when
decision is reached, it will be in his favor
But courts move slowly, and there is no
telling when decision will be
reached. In the meantime the COM
modore was confronted with the fact that
the season of navigation had come, and
he had to do something or lose his grip
on the river business. Hence the new
organization. Of course, with the new
fleet of boats and barges he is getting to-
gether, he can get along without the boats
and barges of the old z. N. line, but
should the present litigation be in his fa-
vor, he will find something for them to
do better than lying tied up to the bank
