A Waste Of Water =!
Over-Flooded Nashville

The River Likely to Reach the Stage
OF f847.
special Telegram to the Inter-Ocean.
NASHVILLE, TEsN., Jan. 17-Stan1-
ing upon the esplanade of the Ca aPitol
and looking to the West, North and
East. nothing is to be seen but wide
waste Of waters, dotted here and there
by hundreds of dwellings and mana-
featuring establishments. In Il de
preston to the westward, 500 or 700
small dwellings,, formerly inhabited
by the poorer classes may be seen in
the water, some of them totally sub
merged and others SO deep down in
the water as not to be inha habitable.
The people who sojourned here have
been moving out for the past week.
and are still moving as the water en-
croaches upon their domiciles at the
rate of three-quarters of an inch per
hour. To the northward, the race
course is entirely submerged, some of
the stables completely inundated
Vinegar Hill, containing not less than
1000 houses, seems to be as complete
y isolated as an island.
To the eastward, a thousand or mofe
acres have been submerged. and psssi-
bly, not less than 500 dwellings and
manufactures are under water All
the saw mills, with millions Of feet of
lumber, are submerged, and seem
ready to he swept at any moment.
But one communication is left between
Northeast and Southeast Nashville,
and that is partially covered by the
fl ,od. Backwater has already filled a
large number OF the cellars of whole
sale houses in Broad and Market sts. !,
compelling the removal of innumera-
bic tons Of goods to the first and sec
ond floors. Steamers are unloading
lumber brought down from above.
In the middle of Broad street, a
thing which has not been known to
occur since the great food of 1647,
Canoes and skiffs are innumerable.
they are used either as safeguards or
in the removal Of people from houses
ii which they have remained until the
last moment. in the hope that the
river would recede. Ropes have been
stretched acsoss may OF the prominent
streets in the low grounds to prevent
persons from unwittingly driving
through the back waters. A great
d al of suffering prevails among poor
people who have been driven out OF
their homes by the ruthless floods to
seek houses in an already overcrowded
city. Il is thought by many that the
river may reach the rise Of 1847,
4ich Was 54 9-7 feet above low water
mark. A great deal Of damage has
already been done, but il this should
occur, the destruction Of property will
be hard to estimate. The Mayor has
Issued proclamation calling for re-
lief for poor people forced to abandon
their dwellings In the lower part OF
the city.

4 LOSING GAME.

AT the meeting of the Democratic
Central Committee in Virginia City On
Thursday, when R: Sadler, of Eureka,
was rendered the position of State
Treasurer on the Democratic ticket,
vice Shepard resigned, Mr.. Sadler de-
ciined at first, on the grounds that his
business at Eureka would not enable
him to move to the Capital in case of
his election. Tie Democratic managers
informed him that this would not be
necessary, as he could appoint deputy
to ELL the position, while he would
thus be free to attend to business in
Eureka. MIR. Sadler accepted upon this
representation, and in our opinion has
been misled, for Section 2608 Compiled
Laws makes it obligatory upon the
State Treasurer to not only keep his
Office here, but also to reside here. Thus
would he, in case of election, be COM
PEELED to neglect or abandon his large
and fleurishing business at Eureka for
the paltry salary and slight honor of
being State Treasurer.

Small was arrested few days ago on
the charge of ENLIGHTENMENT in taking
liquors and other goods from the cellar
of the Arcade Hotel, belonging to the
estate of the late David Mcfarland.
His case was presented to the Grand
Jury yesterday and that body found
true bill of Indictment. Small was
arraigned in the Justice Court this
morning to answer to the complaint.
He asked for two days in which to
plead. The time was granted and
Small released with bail fixed at 81 900.
His examination will likely take place
Saturday.

Want More Pap.

The Democrats in Lander county in
their recent convention passed the fol-
lowing resolution in regard to the sal
airy law: "The present salary law is a
total failure. 1t is oppressive in the
several counties of the State, that the
fees collected by the county officers are
not sufficient to pay the salaries, and
that it reduces the efficiency of the off,
GERS in the discharge of their duties"

to secure repeal of the law. But it
won't affect the Democracy, as they
will not have a chance at the State
Treasury for some time to come.

| The term alligatorS as used in the
letter is horsey expression and aIludes
to fast flyer that don't appear to
amount to much, in fact the term is
applied in a jocular way to any kind Of
a racer. The gang Of horsemen who
work the Reno fair each year are so
VIGOROUSLY trickey that they have been
ruled off nearly every race track in
California, and the managers Of the
district fairs will not allow them to
enter their horses. They now make
circuit of the little fairs where they are
not known and by making com hina-
tons allow certain horses to win and
those on the inside reap a certain har-
vest at the pool box. The outside pub
lie are feeced daily. The races are not
genuine trials of speed, and in fact
many Of them are simply walk-overs.
The managers of the Reno fair owe it
to themselves as we'll as to the public
to see that this swindling is squelched.
The last fair was failure financially.
The public have as a rule scented the
fraud perpetrated by the California
horseman and are beginning to let the
Agricultural and Mechanical society
severely alone. A sporting man in
forms the APPEAL that the programme
of the races was all made up in the
Arion saloon, San Francisco, two weeks
before the fair, and was carried out to
the letter. The blacklegs who were
on the inside cleaned up nearly $780,
fair the racing programmes should be
open to Nevada horses only.
