it suits their own interests. Upon the ques-

ANNUAL FLOODS.

Men, women and children sitting on their
house tops amid waste of waters have no
patience with those who talk about want
of constitutional power to protect them.
Thomas Jefferson found authority to buy
Louisisna, extending then from the mouth
to the source of the Mississippi river, and no
Jeffersonian Democrat should bubble about
authority to protect it. Neither the Repub-
lican nor Democratic party, party, are
for us on this question; but, if Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas will take firm,
independent stand on this question, we can
force all parties to recognize and give US our
rights. Mississippi alone can do much to
accomplish it, and / do not hesitate to say
am for that man and that party which will
DO most for us on this subject.

TROUBLE IN DAKOTA.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 6.
Grant County, Drkota, IS the scene of a
county seat contest that begun at the fall
elections was continued in the courts and
finally resulted in tnmslt. The county rec
ords are held in Big Stone City, in defence
of an alleged judicial decision that Milbank
was designated as the county seat last No
vember. few days ago two Of the county
commissioners tried to remove the records TO
Milbank, supported BY three hundred armed
citizens and were So stoutly resisted by a
similar force, raised at Big Stone City, that
they failed. A special from Milbank says
the safe containing the records of the county
clerk and register of deeds is held at Big
Stone City by an armed mob.
A special states that there are fully three
hundred men in Big Stone City and vicinity,
threatening to shoot any one attempting 20
remove the safe. They have regular pickets
stationed in and around the town, day and
night, intcrcepting every traveller coming
from Mibank. Recruits have been secured
from all around the county. One hundred
bales of hay have been made ito barricade
from which the old county clerks Office can
be easily covered with rifles. The Probate
Judge accompanied by the Deputy Sheriff
visited Big Stone, Sunday, and demanded the
probate records. They were deiantly re-
fused by armed men standing on guard at the
door. Several Indians have been obtained
from the Coleaux. armed with guns, and en-
listed by the Big Stone people. 1t is feared
if another attempt at removal is made there
will be blood shed.

The Tribune saws: There has apparent
ly been an indiscretion. if not a breach Of
confidence and propriety. in the publica-
ton of the extract from ex-Minister Chris
tiancy's letter to Mr., Blaine, criticising the
character of the Peruvian people and Gov
eminent officials. Mr.. Christiancy says
the letter was marked personal and con-
fidential," and was never intended to go
upon the files of the State Department and
into the published diplomatic correspond
ence. This the public will readily believe.
for no Minister in his senses would have
made so plsin-spoken an arraignment of
the nation to which he was accredited if
he supposed there was the least danger Of
its getting into print. Mr.. Blaine appears
to have inadvertently left the letter in the
Department on his retirement. and some
body with more political zeal than wisdom
or fairness included the very portion of it
which, from its character. should have
been regarded as confidential, in the gen.
eral batch of South American correspond
ence sent to the Senate.

THE NEW YORK FIRE.
Coroner's Inquest.-ExaminatIO by the
Fire Marshal.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.
Search in the ruins of the World building
fire continued Monday, but no additional
bodies have been discovered. The coroner's
inquest began today, and Coroner HERMANN
in opening the case, said if fire escapes had
been on the building all would probably have
been saved. The police on duty in the vicin-
ity of the burned building testified to the rapid
spread of the flames. s. b. Bruce, of the
Turf, Field and Farm. told of his narrow es-
cape from the burning building He said he
had called attention to the over-heated wall.
There were no fire escapes, he said. on the
building.
The fire marshal this afternoon examined
in regard to the cause of the fire in the old
"World' building. William TAYLOR, manu-
facturer of steam boilers, testified to having
repaired the boiler there last September. The
furnace vas connected with the old hue near
est Nassau street wall 1t did not draw and
he then connected it with another flue, Is
feet distant. He heard since that the
latter Aue had been stopped off and the old
one re-opened on the day preceding the fire.
His theory OF the fire was that gases were
confined in the fue, producing imperfect COM
bustion and explosion. This explosion was
probably the cause Of the fire and its rapid
progress up the elevator was, he thought,
owing to the escape Of these inhammable
gaseS.
