The river continues to rise at this point
half an inch per hour. Steamer Woodson,
from Pine Blnff, reports the bank overflow

Despas, twenty miles below on the river, the
water is twenty feet over the north bank and

water. 1t is reported that the river is now
running through Flat Bay. The bank is cav

pas will be extensive. Mosely lake and the
river fifty miles below have Joined and pre-
sent the appearance of an inland lake. Much
restitution exists among the inhabitants of
the overlooked territory. Unless provisions
are furnished great suffering must follow.
MEMPHIS Feb. -.
The river at this point is up to the highest
point reached this season and continues to
rise slowely. Reports from Crittenden,
Miss, and st. Francis and Phillips counties,
Ark, are to the effect that great distress pre-
walls among the inhabitants of the inundated
districts. Appeals for assistance are daily re-

outlook to those who have been forced to re-

Anti-POlygamy SOciety.-Deiant
Preaching at the Mormon
Tabernacle Sunday.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 81.
At meeting of the ladies' anti-polygamv
society last night, resolutions were adopted
as follows: Resolved, That this society.
speaking in the name of outraged womanhood
and for 10000 real citizens of the Territory,
beseech Congress to rely no longer on halt
measures, but at once to take from the Nor
mons all political privileges until they accept
as sovereign the laws of the United States.
Resolved. That we fear that the EdmInds
bill will be found fatally defective like the
present anti-polygamy law. because, while it
DISTINGUISHES polygamists, it provides no ma
chinery to enforce said disfranchisement.
Resolved, That we believe that a com
mission of the sterling citizens of this Terri
tory be given full legislative powers. working
under the supervision of Congress, is the
only real, prompt and merciful remedy for
Utah's wrongs.
The meeting was really mass meeting,
and was very enthusiastic.
The preaching al the Mormon tabernacle,
on Sunday, was belligerent and defiant They
said they were extending into other terrific
ries, and that no power on earth or in hell
could stop them. They might take awav
their votes and be id. They would be

HOUSE or COMMONS.
Objections to the Investigations into tho
Workings of the Land Act.

LONDON. Feb p.
In the House of Commons, Gladstone in
moving the postponement of the orders of
the day in favor of his resolution, declaring
that an inquiry into the working of the land
act would be injurious to the interests of
good government in Ireland. said that if the
judicial administration of the land act were
to be excluded from the House of Lords, on
inquiry, he would be prepared to abstain
from moving his resolution, but as he saw no
prospect of such a limitation, it was his duty
to persevere.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he thought this
announcement was an additional reason for
giving the House of Lords time to consider
the motion to postpone. Ii was adopted by
vote of 800 aginst l61.
In moving the resolution that an inquiry
into the working of the land act would tend
to defeat the operation thereof, Glad
stone said the course that the government
proposed to take was one of extreme neces-
sity. The government, feeling that the ben
eficial operation of the law was threatened by
the action of the House of Lords, desired to
show the administrators of the act that they
had the government and the House of Com
mons behind them. He pointed out that the
House of Lords committee is composed al
most exclusively of landlords, and said it
was inexpedent that the relations between
landlord and tenant should be overhauled by
the promiscuous inquiry of prejudiced tri-
bunal.
Right Hon, Edward Gibson Conservative
member for Dublin University. said that the
names of the gentlemen composing the COM
mittee were the best guarantee for the exer-
else of the greatest forbearance and public
spirit Gladstone's resolution, he declared,
was calculated to make confusion worse con-
founded, and he moved the previous question.
The debate adjourned until Thursday.
