our country and the indissoluble union of
benefcent Jeffersonian philosophy which
prefers that nothing shall be done by the
general government which the territorial
authorities are competent Of doing, and
nothing by any governmental power which
individuals can do themselves. The great
contest Of his administration arose out OF
his efforts to withhold from congress powers
in d.rogation of the rights of localities and
Of individuals, as well as Of the constitution.
/ well remember that in the debate of 1882,
on q vote to recharter the bank of the United

denounced and deplored the spectacle OF the

The Great Flood.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Jonas, Of
Louisiana, speaking in the senate on the
levee question said that a rough calculation
he had made showed the country in Missis
sippi, Arkansas and Louisiana now under
water or in danger. Of being submerged, pro-
duced in 1880 total of 750, ,063 bales Of cot
ton, the value of which, at ordinary na'ket
rates, $45 per bale, was $33, 1856. The
area in Louisiana which will be submerged
if the levees give way produced in 1881 clpps
amounting in value to over $4,000, ,00g IN
sugar, and over $4,000 in rye. The oser-
flow now threatens the destruction Of these.
The possibility of raising cotton crops in the
inundated fields would depend on whether
the sufferers found bankers and merchants
willing to give them credit after the loss tot
all their personal property and the devasta-
ton of their plantations. AS to the sugar
crop the water would cause it's total destt1c-
ton throughout the inundated region, lbs
the effect Of the water on the seed isS suchas
to destroy not only the growing crops, hft
the possibility of a crop for the next twosbr
three years, until the land shall be thxf-
oughly replanted.

Taylor, of Ohio, said his objections were
many. The first was that the bill was brought
upon congress and forced upon congress by
passion and prejudice, and that kind of
prejudice which was most difficult to remove
and more dangerous IN. character than any
other kind that ever had or ever could take
possession of the human heart trace preju-
dices. He. opposed the bill because it was
unnecessary, and being unnecessary, danger
