&r Overflow Expected.

ST. Louis, April 4.-There seems 10
be general apprehension of an overflow
of the Mississippi river, now only re-
tarded by the Geld. In the Northwest
the snow still lies from fifteen to fifty
feet deep, and as far south as Burling-
ton, on the upper Mississippi, the snow
IS three TO five feet deep. There has been
no tnaw, which usually comes in Janu-
airy. and somewhat decreases the volume
Of the spring floods. Consequently the
rains and thaws due now win bring all
this down with Il. rush. Should the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri both send down
their collection. OF snow and rain, which
is more than likely, the volume OF water
flowing down the river will be simply
enormous. This condition of affairs
makes river men and inhabitants of the
lower lands predict much damage from
the water. The river has been rising
slowly but surely to day. 1t is twenty
i've feet above low water and only six
and one half feet below the crest Of the
levee. The prevailing cold weather pre-
vents general thaw, but it is now like
ly to come all at once from the water
sheds Of the Mississippi and Missouri
md melting snow banks between here
ana the rocky mountains. There is un>
questionably danger here, and more Sc
rious cause tor alarm further south in
the Mississippi bottoms of Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi. Should the
fools come,as no Doubt they will, all the
Gotten end Hrgar lands Chose adjacent
to the riye0 viii be completely sub
merged, and the damage vii reach into
The millions. Planters in the lowlauds
should take immediate steps to avert
The calamity which now seems impend>
ing. TO strengthen and raise the lovees
is the first step towards safety. An
ounce of prevention is worth pound Of
cjire.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Hon. Daniel

Malone have not met on the field Of
honor at Bladensburgh or anywhere
else. Last night and this morning
rumors were rife that challenge had
been sent by the cool little Virginian
to the hot-headed big Indianian, and
that they were about to attempt the
penetration each OF the others body,
in violation Of the statute of tho Dis
triet of Columbia in that case made and
provided.
These rumors of war were what Sem
ator George. of Mississippi, terms
"groundless myths" Both the belig,
erents Of yesterday are satisfied .
This without the interposition of Oil
cious friends or an exchange Of apollo
gies, or OF bullets or OF anything else.
Neither received q deadly affront;
neither had the slightest desire 20
receive deadly wound; neither was
termed ga liar and scoundel and 8
villain;" neither has sufficient faith i'll
the code to die for it. Peace reigns.
Some formal apologies my be made on
Monday and may not. The principals
in the affray are content as it Is.

The boiling of the nomination Of
Overstolz, the Democratic candidate
for Mayor OF St Louis, who was
charged with obtaining the nomina-
ton by fraud, resulted as on several
like occasions in the past, in giving
that city to the Republicans by a
heavy majority. Thousands Of Dem
ocrats refused to vote at all, and
many, believing themselves defraud-
ed, worked hard to defeat the
author of that fraud who proposed
to be its beneficiary.
The vote was one Of the smallest
polled in many years, the total vote
not amounting to more than the
Democratic candidate in Chicago re-
ceived.

The debt question that has SO peril~
ously divided and disoIganized the Dem
ocratic party in Tennessee for some
time, and which cost them Governor
last November and come near losing them
a seat in the Senate, was happily put at
rest on the 9TH inst, by the passage by
the Legislature of bill funding it at
three per cent. This proposition meets
the views of the bond>holders, and it is
hoped settles the matter for all time to
come.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Both par
ties in the Senate to-day renewed
the declaration of war to the end,
and another contribution Of speeches
was Placed on record. MorgaE, Of
Alabama, one Of the readiost and
ablest OF the Democrats, made long
speech, full of bright points and
singing sarcasm. Bayard discussed
the question at issue from high
plane, and with his usual dignifed
earnestness. Sherman met him in
The same vein, repeating substan-
TALLY the arguments by which he
had swayed the caucus on Monday.
Burnside blunderingIy said some
good things in % frank, manly spirit,
and Hawley came out squlrely in
favor Of supporting Malone as
the lea(er Of a band Of independents,
who are TO break tha solid South.
Shernan. TOO, patted Malone on the
back and bid him Godspeed: Their
compliments to Malone drew from
Beck another severe attack on Re

The President said that the reports

changes at present, but would FL,

WASHINGTON, April "A Rapubli,

the President to>day upon the. SUBJ
leot OF the senatorial deadlock, and
the consequent failure to act on nom-
nations. The senator told the
President he was satisfied the Re
publicans would have to reoele from
the position they had taken, at least
SO far as to have an executive session
each day. The President seemed
very much annoyed at the situation,
which IS worse than il The Senate vas
not in session. He gives it to be
understood that he will not send in
any more nominations until the Sem
ale acts upon some Of those already
submitted Notwithstanding, tie
caucus to day resolved with apparent
unanimity TO continue the fight for
Senate officers, it is predicted by
Republican who has special facilities
for knowing which way the political
wind blows that in less than a week
the Senate will proceed to consider
nominations, He says twelve Re,
publican senators have indicated their
unwillingncss to consent much long~
er to the embarrassment Of the adj
by hopeless fight to
put Mahones friends, Gorham and
in Office. To senators
who waited on the President for the
purpose Of obtaining his opinion, to
be used by authority to influence the
caucus, the President said the Senate
alone was the judge Of the course it
should pursue, and he did not wish
to interfere in any way.

Friday, the first of April, was es
sentially a Mississippi day in th
United States Senate; aud all VIII,
read the speeches and debates OF
that occasion will have reason Il
rejoice that we are represented j,
that august body by two champions
so worthy of the proud old hattlt
Scared Commonwealth, as L. @ G
Lamar, and J. Z. George.
In the speech of Col. Lamar every
Democratic Senator upon the floor
and the millions Of Democrats who
/ applaud the bold and constitutional
: stand that their represe entatives have
taken and are so firmly holding,
found their vindication. cit was
the effort Of Statesman" said Far>
ley of California, "and for the first
time this session / have sal in my
seat an attentive listener to a speech,
from first to last, and this was the
sentiment quite as omphatically ex-
pressed by all the Democrats who
heard it, while the Republicans on
the floor and in the galleries were
evidently moro disconnected than

chussett's mans woe, who had come
down to Mississippi with his money

of hands, and whose factory had
been burned and laborers murdered
by Mississippi Democrats on account

way to his former homo in the East.
1t was evidently lie out of whole
cloth-Gen. George demanded the
name Of the sufferer the town or
county where the "outrage" occur
red. The falsi6er refused to give
either-George returned again and
again to the charge, pinning him
down closer and closer every time,
but still failing to obtain the name
OF locality. At last he forced the
confession that it wasa gin house
that was burned, but nothing furth-
er would the sancIimdnious slanderer
give, aud Gen. Georgo concluded
by denouncing the whole story as a
malicious conception that must be
attributed to the invention of the
man who dared 10 make SO grave a
charge against people md party
in the Senate of the UHiod States,
and refused to give the nme of his

WASHINGTON, April 4,-Before the
caucus met this morning, number
of Republican Senators held pre-
liminary conference and went into
the caucus feeling that the time had
come to change the position the par
ty had taken SO far as to allow u
session each day for the consideration
Of nominations, but in the caucus the
stalwarts took hold with q strong
hand, as they always do, and the
voice of the conservatives was almost
silenced. The stalwarts urged the
importance Of keeping faith with Mas
hone, who had fully and fearlessly
shown his independence of the De-
mocracy and has been savagely at
lacked by Hill and others. The Res
publicans owed it to themselves and
to Malone to stand by him in such a
fight or to give up the control Of the
committees, which had been ga ned
by his help. Besides, if the Repub>
licans should now desert the Indies
pendents of the South, after having
invited them for SO many years to
come out from the Democratic party,
what could the Republicans expect
but that the Independents would be
overwhelmed by the Bourbons. The
subject was discussed at great length
and in all its bearings.
Conkling was one Of the last speak,
ers, and he made a strong argument
in favor of standing by Malone.
