CORRUPTION IN HIGH LEE.

The Shermans seem to have weakness
for picking up things that are lying
around loose and converting them to
their own use. John, the great financier;
the man who succeeded in getting the
national debt extended at 81 per cent
at O time when the syndicate only ex-
pected 8 per cent; the man who repaired
his houses, carriages, maintained his per-
sonal political headquarters and
conducted his canvass for office
at the public expense-has been
in the ''bull-pen'' and escaped the pen
atty of outraged justice so often that il
would seem to be waste of time ant
money to make any further efforts toward
bringing him to justice under the present
administration of our national affairs
But the hero of the Eliza Pinkston esca-
pade-the man whom custodian Pitney''
has painted in such hideous and repulsive
characters, yet true in every lineament
to life-is not the only black sheep in the
Sherman flock now browsing on the Fed
eral commons. John Sherman, the
nephew of the national kleptomanlac,
has recently been dismissed the public
service in New Mexico for stealing public
money, but, like his slippery uncle, he
seems to have avoided the ball and chain
and the Inconvenience incident to prison
discipline and felon's fate
There seems to be ample room and &C.
casion for public Indignation at the IN
just determinations that are practiced in
dealing with the criminal classes of the
country. The practice, under the present
administration of public affairs, of per-
hitting wealth and political power to
substitute in the criminal practice of the
country the word kleptomania for steal
ing, and subiecting the poor thief to the
severest penalties of the law, while plum
derers and thieves, like John Sherman,
are allowed to disgrace the halls of Con-
gress by their presence, and enjoy their
ill-gotten gains with perfect impunity-
is becoming so common that it excites
only passing comment among the people
Of the country, There will be no change
in this respect until the men who are
now debauching the public and private
life of the nation are driven from power,
and an administration of the government
inaugurated on the constitution, having
in view the preservation of the proprie-
ties of the public and social life of the
country. The longer the Republican par
ty remains in power, the more corrupt it
becomes. That vitality and regard for
public sentiment of the nation which sent
Cakes Ames and Brooks to their graves,
and Colfax and others from public life
in disgrace-has long since given way to
feeling of indifference for public senti-
ment and disregard of the moral inter-
ests of the country that will, unless
checked. produce results fatal alike to
the future of the country and the hopes
of the founders of the government.

Express Companie VS.. Railroads.

ST.. LOUIS, March 23.-The form OF the final
decree to be entered on the express companies

proved to-day by Judges McCrary and Treat
in the United States circuit court. 1t is a

ing. The rate is to be not exceeding so per

iog the rate charged by the railroad company
for any other express company. All previous
excessive or unjust determinations are to be
investigated by the master in chancery. The
Injunction is perpetual.

coming here for distribution at other points
At Newton people and stock are in deplora-
pie condition. At Greenwood the trouble is
over.
The steamer Anita goes to st. Louis at once.
The river here marks forty-eight feet and one
inch.
Capt. Lee recommends 10000 rations for the
destitute in Yazoo, Tallahatchie, and Sun

he reports favorable condition of things. On
the Tallahatchie river, and on the upper por-

The house committee on commerce further
heard Capt. Eads in opposition to the pro-

BE declared if, as proposed by the Mississippi
river commission, breaks or gaps in the levees
present will be found high enough. The
waters, he said; will, under this system, be
confined within the banks Of the levees, and
with the increased volume of the water will
come increased velocity and increased sedi
ment- bearing or securing force, and that in
this manner the channel will be recovered, nav
igatIon improved and made stable, and incl
dentally, he asserted, adjacent lands will be

there Is rather poor encouragement for any

stolen before it can be gotten into the frame.

How Boiler Explosions Occur-A New
Theory.

PIrTsBURG, March 24.-D. T. Lamson sue
cessfully demonstrated his theory of boiler
explosions at Munhall farm, near this city,
to-day. The test was made under the super.
vision of the general supervising inspector,
Capt. Fehrenbach, and the boiler was ex.
ploded with steam pressure of 235 pounds.
The boiler used for the experiment was six
feet long and thirty inches in diameter, and
had twenty three inches of water. The valve
was pulled at every twenty-five pounds,
and when 235 pounds pressure was
reached the boiler burst with loud
report, and fragments were scattered
in every direction. Upon examination it was
found to have been completely demolished, the
largest piece being two and one-half feet long
and nfnc inches in diameter. Capt. Fehrenbach
expressed his entire satisfaction with the ex-
pertinent, which was complete demonstra-
tion that explosions do not occur from low
water, but are caused by sudden burst of
water into the steam, when any vacuum is
caused in the steam department by the open
ing of a valve.

during the whole of that interval
the feeling of Russia has been grad
ually but uninterruptedly growing

as proof of the strength and cor
diality ofthe previous relations ex-
isting between the two empires tina,
so long a period as twenty-five years
has been required to disturb them
II is hardly to be expected that the
ancient cordiality can soon, if ever
be restored. There are no means
available to stop the spread of anti.
German feeling, which is now, as
it has long been, advancing and
gathering strength throughout all
ranks of Russian society"

HELP THE SUFFERERS.

While the people of the Missis-

gers and privations, that should
elicit the substantial sympathy of
the civilized world, in Texas we are
surrounded with growing fields of
grain and luxuriant gardens, and
mother earth is sending up the
young corn, while the woodlands
and the prairies wear a verdure
pleasing alike to every animated be-
ing. Far up amid the regions of the
north the god Pluvius descended in
his wrath and swept the earth with
rain torrents. Creeks and rivers
were in flood, and the Father of
Waters opened his bosom to receive
the turbulent currents, and these,
descending to the lowlands have
flooded homes and farms and de-
stroyed life and property, until hu-
manity is sick with contemplating
the fearful straits to which the suf-
ferers have been subjected. Tens
Of thousands of people are reported
bereft even of everything upon
which life may be most scantily
sustained homes have been swept
away, and the people have been
driven to the tree tops, while the
rush of maddened waters through
hundreds of crevasses has made
great seas, where not long ago there
were happy homes and prosperous
farms and industry and all the
contentments of life. This flood
comes, too, at a season when, even
were the means left in the hands oi
sufferers for recuperation, it would
be next to impossible to attain
it. Houses gone, fences de.
stroYed, horses, mules, cattle, al
stock, even the barnyard fowls
gone, there is nothing left with
which to start anew when the waters
subside. Even this will be a long time
hence; for the flood now lies over
a vast plain, with nothing but slug
gish bayous to convey it to the gulf
and when the plains do dry theI {
will be no teams with which to work
the land, no tools, no shelter no fen.
ses, no food for man or beast. The
spot where Pharaoh and his hosts
were covered up by the waves
of the ked Sea left nothing
upon the swelling bosom Of
that sea to tell the tale of horror
all was serene; only the dead were
left, their graves to be ever washed
