MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 7-Captain
Ed Postal, of the steamer Hardcash
which arrived this morning, reports
that the back water from the Mississip-
pi river extends up White river to CIar-
endon, Arkansas, distance of 1875 miles
from the mouth, and the entire country
intervening is under water, which is 2
feet higher than was ever known before.
A great loss of stock and damage to
the farming interest has occurred
throughout the White river bottoms.
The following telegram was sent this
morning to Senators Harris and Jack
son and Congressman Moore at Wash
ington:
The great suffering brought 10 our no.
tice by the Inhabitants of counties in
Tennessee, bordering on the Mississippi
river occasioned by the overflow calls

do will be inadequate. We urge you to

New York Tribune: Mr.. Smalley, in
Hias dispatch from London, points out
some of the difficulties which Mr..
GladstOne's government is likely to
have, owing TO the unwelcome re-elec-
ton of MIR. Bradlaugh. Judging from
the forMer conduct OF the member from
Northampton, be will not be willing to
go through the nsedful formalities of
his oath on the sly, and the conservatives
are sure to make all the capitSl they can
by opposing his admission. But Mr.
Bradlaugh has been fairly elected to his
seat, and so long rs he is ready to COM
ply with the rules of the house, there is
no valid reason why he should DC eK-

Special to TIE EMPoRIA DAILY NEWS.
NEWTON, Kans, March 6.-The rail-
road bond election excitement has abat-
ed somewhat, and matters are more quiet
here today. The counting of the votes
as cast last Friday will take place
next Friday before the county
commissioners. There is little or no
question that the votes cast at SedgWick,
Halsted and Burton will all be thrown
out. BY a fair vote the proposition
would have been carried by about 400
majority. Members of the election
board at each of these places say they
were poWerless to resist the demands of
the drunken mob of railroad men who
did the repeated fraudulent voting and
were the propositions to be re-submitted
to the people they would be carried by
overwhelming majorities.
Our people feel that the railroad off,
cials have attempted TO deprive them of
those rights which the ballot box is in
teRded to secure to them, and TO make
mockery of our elections. Men here
were intimidafed, others brought up,
and finally made drunken, and in pas
senger coaches shipped from one town
20 the other as repeaters. Some of the
drunken mob admitted when they ar
rived in this city that they had voted
three times already that day but when
they saw Newton stood ready with load
ed guns and pistols they concluded that
they had better not attempt the Job in
this city. The end of this grossest of
outrageS is not yet. Our people cannot

BENZ THE DAISY.

General B. F. Butler, Governor-elect
of Massachusetts,, presented a striking
appearance on the stump during the re-
cent campaign. In full evening cos
tune, a correspondent writes, with a
neat button hole bouquet of red and
white pinks, and with a snowy neektie
and rubicund face, he advanced to the
edge Of the platform, bowling to right and
to left, with his right hand resting grace
fully upon his capacious abdomen and an
indesoribable look of pleasure and self
satisfaction beaming from his eyes. Two
diamonds flashing from his bosom, and a
light gold chain with pendant, were all
the iewelry visible. His upper lip was
adorned with a thin iron-gray mustaohe,
and he wore small side whiskers OF the
same hue. His customary attitude was
with his left hand in his trousers pocket
and the right used in ge%sticulating.
Whenever he succeeded in raising a
laugh he turned still redder in the face,
and smacked his lips so heartily that his
double chin shook like a lump of Jelly.
He very rarely hesitated, but when he
did he shut one eye, Cooked up" the
other, and scratched his bald head just
behind the ear until success crowned his

The Carson Bee, in giving an ccOunt Of
the burning Of W. d. Tobey's house,
makes some very just remarks with regard
to the treatment Of the tremen in that
city. The fire boys are the most self
sacrificing and dIsinterested class of citi-
Zens we have in the community. Every
fire we have is for them n battle in which
they are liable to lose life or health. still
they never shirk or hold back. They risk
everything in their heroic labors for
others. That they are rarely, if ever, ade-
quately rewarded or appreciated is unfor-
tunately a fact. The Bee says the fire
began at 3 O'Clock i'll the morning. The
wind was blowing a gale during the time
of the fire, and its subsection was a matter
OF difficulty. Until 7 O'Clock this morning
the tiTemen increasingly combatted the
flames, and their curses. directed at the
citizens listlessly standing around, were
loud and deep. The fire boys battled with
the flames for three hours and a half, aud
were compelled to quit through sheer ex-
haustion, aud received no help whatever
from the narrow-mjnded but big-headed
citizens standing 70 We believe our
firemen are the veriest fools on earth.
With no hope of reward, and nine times
out of ten denied even the thanks of the
community, they risk everything in behalf
Of the taxpayers, and il unsuccessful in
quenching the fiery element they do not
fail to receive the anathemas Of the dear
public. Let us thank the fire boys for
their hard fought battle of this morning.

POPCORN & PLENIPo.

Taxation without Representation"
Taking a round on the Beach" I dropped
in at Popcorn & Plenipo's, dealers in
hides and tallow, / found the rubicund
Popcorn in his shirt sleeves, busy at his
desk, figuring up the net proceeds of the
last shipment from st. Michaers.
GOOD morning, friend Popcorn how's
trade in skins J"
"Going to the dogs" said p. c. 1t was
once our best line got lem for a rial apiece
in old times, and sold 'em in Boston for
half a dollar and better. But sheep have
run out the goats and it looks as if a sheep
man was going to run the country"
ayes, it looks a little that way, friend
Popcorn. How did it happen that the great
'unrepresented interests of hides, talIow,
goat skins and bullion and piety made such
a poor show at the poIls?"
"The fact is, Don, we were badly fooled
by certain interests andinfiuences that were
set up as sure cards. There was a certain
chief influence, and a clerical influence,
and a Bank interest that all proved a fizzle;
and pretty much all that Joe made was got
by the money we spent. Our firm allowed
for q good figure, that was handed to each
of a crowd of Iunas (canvassers) with the
promise of a bigger one when the good time
came, and the dry goods man, whom the
Kanakas call LOEe Popopo, ~(rotten dry
goods) came down nicely too, but it was no
go, and a good lump of cash goes to the ac-
count of profit and loss"
The truth is, Popcorn, that 'untrust-
worthy majorities' as Genl. a. said, are
mighty risky things to try to manage"
Enthusiastically indeed, I should say"
muttered z. c., as he made an entry of SIS
a head, net, on certain shipments of immi-
grants. 1--WE are entirely unrepresented
on the Beach by the men put in. What
interest, | ask you, does the Shepherd of
Lanai represent between the wharves and
Beretania Street, and between Richard and
Nuuanu Streets 2"
DWELL, see here Popcorn, perhaps the
Shepherd of Lana may not be a sufficient
representative of the hides and tallow, and
bullion and piety of the commercial centre
of the metropolis, but l should say that the
Editor of the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVER
TIsER, who discusses every week the COM
mercial interests of the city and port, and
who has been, during two sessions, Chair
man of the Finance Committee of the Leg
~islature of the Nation, was a fitting repre-
sentative of its Capital"
For all that, Don" said z. c., 81 consid-
er that man a ~demagogue who misleads the
Enthusiastically masses that nave the votes
yet do not supply the revenue"
Chow much gin do you drink on an av-
erage, Popcorn ?"
"Gin, Sir! - squeaked the rubicund Pop
corn, in his peculiar nasal treble. 81 drink
gin ! Inever touch, taste or handle it, and
our firm can say proudly, that we have
never imported in our ships a drop of gin,
