IT is hardly ever safe at this lime of the
year to put much reliance in reports
about the wheat crop in the West, but the
belief is very generally entertained that
there will be very serious failure OF
the crop, owing to the late sowing and
the early and severe winter, large por-
tion OF the wheat land being covered
with ice and the seed frozen out. Some
accounts say That not over a flth of the
crop can be made under the most favor
able circumstances.

Report of Proceedings of the Sen
ate in Extraordinary Session.
WASHINGTON, April %.
Mr.. Brown then sent to the clerks
desk and had read extracts from the
Boston Herald, Hartford Courant,
Philadelphia American, Denver Iris
bune, Portland Oregonian, PhiIadel-
phia Evening Telegraph, San Fran,
cisco Argon, Pittsburg Dispatch and
Sacramento Record and Union, in
some of which the deadlock was
attributed to a disgraceful bargain,
and quite an amusing running debate
ensued between MIR. Burnside and
Mr.. Brown as TO the politics of those
papers. The stress upon that
sentence in Mr.. Browns speech,
in which he had said, ''If
you will give us Georgia
Republicans, and the fruits of victory
we have lately won, we will carry
Georgia for General Grant, his
comment upon it being the condi-
ton precedent to a bargain. No
man, continued Mr.. Hawley, could
have resisted that pathetic entreaty,
and Governor Bullock had made the
Senator from Georgia chief justice
of Georgia. That Senator was a
very persuasive man. It had only
been in the last campaign that he
had appealed to the colored men
to support him against the bour-
bons.
Mr.. Brown said that if there had
been any negotiation here it was beS
tween Senators, which was differ
ent matter from speaker in a con>
vention saying: "You must give us
certain patronage or you cannot pro
ceed" He proceeded, at some
length, to detail his political history,
denying the statement that he had,
at the last election, declared that he
would not go into the Democratic
caucus.
Mr.. Dawes then, stating that upon
Monday the statue erected in Wash
ington to the memory of Admiral
Farragut would be unveiled, and
that it was proper for the Senate tc
be present, moved that the Senate
adjourn until Tuesday, which motion,
after slight opposition from Mr.
Harris, was agreed to.

The Trade of Memphis.

MEMPHIS, April 23.-A summary
of the general trade of Memphis
during the week has been fair for
the season. The entire farming in>
terestis actively engaged in plowing
and planting. The high water and
threatened overflow, together with
other causes, have checked trade to
some extent, but not very much.
The volume has been fully up to the
usual standard for the season. The
large receipts Of cotton at Liver
pool and the dullness of the
market in that city have
had a depressing effect on staples
here, and the sales for the week show
a falling off from the previous week.
Exporters have been out of the mar
ket for three days, and what sales
made have been spinners' futures.
The outlook is favorable, although
the season is fully two weeks late.
Preparations have been made for
planting an acreage which will be
equal to that of last year, both in
cotton and corn.

FLOOD AND STORM,
Ravages Of the Storm King at
Various Points.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, April 23.-
The situation of the river at this
point continues to grow worse, and
it is not only serious, but desperate.
The water has been rising at the
rate of an inch an hour all day, and
the entire bottom lands are inun-
dated at depth of from one to six
feet. The tracks of all the railroads
leading to the union depot are under
wate1 from two to three feet. and no
passenger trains run to or from it,
all stopping at the city local depots.
The Union Pacific track has been
washed out for several hundred
yards, and platforms have been
erected over the water for the trans
fer of passengers and baggage.
The river tonight is four
OF FIVE inches higher than it
was ever known to be before,
No up trains have arrived or depart
ed from this city to-day, as bridge
was washed away on the Elkhorn
River in Nebraska. The trouble
will probably be over tomorrow.
The trains from all directions are
arriving late and irregularly, and are
using each others track to get to the
city. Reports from up the river are
to the effect that the river is still
rising, and they occasion considera-
BILE apprehension here.
