THE SOUTHERN DELUGE.

Reports That the Waters are Subsiding.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Secretary of
War has received telegram from Il. w. Dan
forth, agent at Charleston, Mo-, as follows:
mo more government supplies are needed
here. Farmers are at work and more cheerful"
He has also received the following from
Capt. j. M. Lee, 9th Infantry, dated Mem
phis, Tenn, March Goth:
arrived here this morning from Vicksburg.
Supplies arrived here last night. Shall return
to Vicksburg, leaving here to-day. Supplies
now furnished for Mississippi will last until
about the 9th proximo. At the rate the water
is going down there is no necessity for sup
plies beyond the 10th of April. This will re-
quire additional supplies of 5000 pounds OF
meat and 10000 pounds of meal which should
be sent to Hemingway at Memphis, 80 as to ar
rive there not later than the 4th prox. The
lowest estimate of the number rendered desti-
tute by the flood in Mississippi is $4,000 and
from personal observation am satisfied this is
approximately correct"
The Sectary of War to-day telegraphed Gen.
Mangum, commissioner for Arkansas, as fol-
lows:
"Steamer Barnard gave you 10000 rations in
addition. ordered the 21st inst $4,000 and
oath inst. 100000 to be sent you. My under
standing is that this supply will last your peo-
pie during the first week in April even ii the
number of destitute does not diminish.
My information from Mississippi is that at the
rate the water is going down there is no neces-
sity of supplying beyond April 10th in that
State. We have but little more than enough
rations left at st. Louis to do this. suppose
the water is subsiding in Arkansas at about
the same rate so that the number Of destitute
will now rapidly decrease. What final supply,
in your opinion, will carry you through the
trouble?'
In similar telegram to the commissioner
for Louisiana, at New Orleans, the Secretary
asks if they can possibly get along with the ra-
tions already sent, and if not what additional
final supply will probably suffice. The Secre-
tory adds that any further supply will require
new appropriation.

The Secretary of the Navy has received ca

''Owner of the Lena says contract with Bennett is
not made yet. Cannot act In this matter without
further Instructions
Secretary Hunt has telegraphed Lieut.. Har-
ber's message to Mr. Bennett at Paris for addi-
tional information on the subject before taking
any action. 1t will be remembered that Ben
nett stated to the Secretary that he had secur-
ed the services of the steamer Lena, end that
he had placed the steamer at the disposal of
Lieut.. Harder. The impression prevails at tho
Navy Department that the hitch arises from a
desire on the part of the owner Of the vessel to
get larger price for its use than was at first
contemplated.

Ezra Barker of Stratham, Bradbury Ciiley,

Union Five Cents Savings Bank of Exeter, OF
which Lane was President at the time OF his
disaster, has, not, as published, been doing

Internal Revenue Bureau some years since

Matters in Utah.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 27.-In the city
council, which is empowered to fill vacancies,
polygamists are resigning at once and monag-
namists being elected in their places. This al
so is being done in other similar cases. What
is to be gained is not apparent for no one has
proposed to supersede polygamists in office
save by election under existing laws. The
Mormon News strongly advocates the appoint
ment of non-residents for the election of COM
misioners under the Edmunds' bill. 1t says
most of the appontees to federal positions in
the Territory are 'scallawags," but even these
would suit them better than residents because
commissioners of strangers would mean fail
ure of the scheme of the plotters; that is,
things would be left pretty much as they are.
The Gentiles are the plotters referred to. Gen
tiles consider the Mormon unanimity for a
commission of strangers a strong argument
against it.
