FLOODED RAILWAYS.
Ali the Roads Have Their Cone
nectiOns Broken.

Every railway leading into or out Of
this city had its connections disturbed
yesterday.
No trains came up the Mississippi &
Tennessee road from beyond Sardis,
fifty miles south, and none left
for beyond that point yesterday.
A break six hundred feet loIg
at Yocany, and the TaIlahatchie
river is SO flooded that the bridge over
it is deemed dangerous. Heavy rains
fell all through yesterday in the viCin.
ity Of Grenada, and the country there
abouts is covered with water.
Three breaks in tie Memphis &
Charleston railway, beyond Grand
Junction, prevented the passage of
trains over that course yesterday, and
none will be likely to go further than
the Junction before Thursday or
Friday next.
The Louisville & Nashville is dis
turbed at Hatchie river crossing, be-
yond Stanton, some forty miles out.
The trestle work at that point is
twisted out Of plumb, and it is deemed
dangerous to attempt to cross it. The
incoming train, due here early yester-
day morning, was detained thirteen
hours at this place, and the passengers
came in last night that much behind,
having been transferred over the
Hatehie to another train on this side.
No trains left here on this road last
night.
Three breaks are reported between
Water Valley and Jackson, on the
Chicago, St. Louis & New Orleans
road, one above Grand Junction, one
near Michigan City, where Wolf river
crosses the line, and another further
down.
1t will doubtless be several days
before the damages are repaired and
regular trains are again set in motion.
A train went south over the Missis-
sippi & Tennessee road this morning,
the passengers to be transferred by
skif at the point of disturbance, and a
train was also sent ont over the N. &
road, the people to be transferred
at Hatchie.

MIGHT.
Three BHrgIarIes Committed
Last Saturday Night.

During Saturday night three stores
were robbed o. variOus things, the loss
in one instance at least being rather
heavy. The house Of
W. R. MOORE & co.
was entered from the rear. The iron
grating over the cellar was brOken,and
the burglars entered, going up the eel.
lar stairs, and on up into the second
story. The thieves we're evidently
judges of dry goods, as they took
nothing except valuable articles Of
small bulk, such as silk handkerchiefs
scarfs and fine cutlery. Al the door
the goods were overhauled, and all ar.
ticles of little or no value were left be-
hind. Anew dollars in change we're
taken from the till, and also an opera
glass marked ~. P. Hill.p The value
of the goods amounts to about $3.50.
The clerks discovered that the money
had been taken from the till yesterday
morning, but we're not aware until
this morning that anything else had
been stolen.
Thieves entered the house Of
AFITZGERALD & CO.,
Front, near Adams, by way of the
trAnsom over the front door. They
carried off three boxes of tobacco and
some hams, which they tried to sell
about midnight to a huckster on the
levee. The police got wind of the
affair ana swooped down upon them,
but the thieves escape l. The booty
was left behind. and is now at the
%stationhouse. There we're two or three
negroes engaged in the robbery.
JOHN oUMMINs' GROCERY,
on Poplar street, heal Bull Run, was
robbed about the same time of coffee,
sugar, hams and other groceries to the
value Of about fifty dollars. Some of
the stuff was left in an old vacant
shanty on the corner of Poplar and
Bull Run. As there were no broken
locks or bars, it is probable the thief
was locked up in the house at night.
The police look upon these robberies
as a natural consequence of the suffer-
ing which everywhere prevails. There
is little or no work to be had, and
many are reduced TO the alternative of
stealing or starving.
The force is so small that the
earnest co operation Of The citizens
themselves, and care in securely lock-
ing up at night, and aid in furnishing
a burglar whenever caught, SO that he
may be made an example of, would
serve to check it.

FAIR WARNING
TO ALL wATER RENTERS.

During the past three months we
have given frequent notices through
the press and otherwise, and made
repeated house to house inspections.
at an expen,e Of $500, with a view to
reducing the enormous waste of water
that prevails throughout the city. We
fully appreciate the annoyance these
inspections sometimes give. but the
great loss to the company from waste,
forces a resort 10 every means of pre-
venting it.
We were pumping the incredible
quantity Of five million gallons daily:
the inspections have reduced il to
three and half millions, which is still
double what it should be. So far. the
practice has been, when the Inspector
found water running, the parties we're
notified, and two or three days were
allowed to remedy the evil complained
OF. If not remedied, the supply was
then cut off. The public has in diff
ferent ways been SO frequently warned
as to this evil, hereafter when the in
spectors find waste they will
AT ONCE TURN OFF THE SUPPLY,
and it will remain off until the waste
is discontinued, and one dollar paid
for turning off and on.
This is the remedy rcsorted to in
other cities, and we know no other.
We beg Of all to watch this matter
and thus avoid trouble and expense.
People have nc more right to use
hve to ten times as much water as
they pay for, than to expect one dollar
to buy five to ten dollars worth of
medicine.

Nine-Tenths Under Wharf.-The
Thousand People without
Means of support.

K~AEEwBEE, MISS, March 10, 1882.
EDITOR LEDGER:-I have not seen
your quietly truthful paper since the
second deluge has burst upon us, and
were | to tell you all Of our sad condi-
ton, and you could be induced to
publish it, your character for sensa-
tional would be over established.
The fragments standing of our levees,
and the mounds of our washed out
predecessors are now our camping
grounds. Gin housesAnot such as |
have seen crowded in IIondon-are
the most populous resorts. Seventy
five persons families black and white)
have been shut up, or watered up, in
one of these for the last three weeks,
within sight of my place, no other
house on the vast plantation having a
floor above the food. and this is the
usual condition, where the gin houses
are high enough to hold the people out
Of the water; and to-day the food is
higher than itself or human hand has
before recorded. The people in the
Mississippi overflow Il mean those in
our State) have been given three days
r%ations by the united generosity of the
United States government and their
own Legislature, but as the muniicent
provision bills did not provide food
for the people, which they would be
going after and returning with the
pittanee, | presume that they will for
the most part prefer to stay at home.
If it were not bad taste to refer to the
past | would say something OF the fact
that the United States treasury re-
ceived in '66.7-8 from Mississippi
alone SIS, 900, 900 in money from the
cotton tax, paid almost entirely by the
freedmen, and, if equity were a thing
Of any weight in the Congressional
mind, some Of this might now be to
the said robbed and suffering freedmen
returned-in bread, meat and cloth
ing.
To sum up for our own little repub-
lie Of Coahoma, n~ine-tenths Gifts sur
face is under water, aud all of its
ten thousand people without employ
ment and half of them without means
Of support for themselves or families.
| am very truly yours, J.N.T.

FoRTY-ESHTH CONGRESS.

The make up of the FOrty-eighth
Congress is now a matter of much
comment. From the best infOrma-
ton we can gain, we find that the
Senate will be composed of 81 DEM
ocrats, 81 Republicans and 2 Read
justers, the two latter being Malone
and Riddleberger from Virginia,
who judging from their past affilia-
ton, will in all probability, vote
with the Republican party; thus
giving that party majority of two
in the Senate. . ora.
Likewise, as nearly as can be as
certained at this writing, the Lower
House will be composed of 1877
Democrats and 12S Republicans, a
majority of III Democrats. OF the 100
Republicans, Readjustersa and Repub-
Iican Greenbackers in the present
House, only 62 have been hOnOred
by Il re election. OF the 1873 Demo-
Gratis, 81 have been reelected. In
short, IS Republicans and only 50
Democrats of the present House
have been left at home. The next
House will contain I43 old men,
bers and 49, new members: OF the
1877 Democratic members, only 20
are from States which formed the
Southern COnfederacy. If One-half
of those members were Republicans
the Democrats would still have a
majority of the next House. There
are in the present House % Repub-
licans and Readjusters from the
South, and there will be in the next
House, according to the present es-
innate, only Is Republicans.
