THE Chattanooga Times asks; "Why don't
the eminent alleged free-traders, who howl
loudly about the increase of the cotton-tie
duty to SSS per ton, get up some monster
protests from the planters against the bill?
Do the eminent, etc, have sense enough TO
know that the planters know they do not pay
the tax in any event, and are not therefore
troubled on the subject?" This is the way
the ironmongers talk; they "chouse" tie
planter out of his money, and then declare
the robbery was committed on somebody else.

needless to say that the people are opposed
to the passage OF SO degrading a measure.

example of Pennsylvania, California and
Arkansas, snd prohibit by constitutional en-
actment the free-pass system.

served critically by all on board. The
steamer John Overton made the usual trip
to Marion with a good human cargo. On
the way up and down the boat could pass
among the trees. At Mound City the boat
ran into the wharfboat, and a cry arising,
many OF the passengers thought the Overton
had experienced an accident. 1t was soon
discovered that the wharfbeat only
was injured. It's side was STAYED in,
and leak was made. This was soon stopped,
and any danger 10 the wharfboat, which was
rather rickety, was averted. On the way,
some of the passengers noticed animals feed

A great flood is recorded ny General Sar-

In 1882 the whole districts OF Attakapas
and Opelousas were inundated.
Another overflow occurred in 1885, an
other in 1871, others in 1896 and 1893, and
in 1909, according to Governor Sargent, the
resulting devastation was so great that the
people imagined the northern lakes had bro

In 1911 and in 1913 the river again broke
through the levees, inundating the entire
Teche country, and in 1915 "a very great
flood" occurred, in which the Ohio river
reached at its mouth the highest point ever

these were marked with great destruction of

worst, the damage occasioned being immense,
the St. Francis, Tensas and Yazoo bottoms
being entirely submerged. The principal
breaks in the levee were above the Louisiana
line at Bayou Macon, at Point Lookout, at
Island No. 102, at Carthage and al Rodney.

adjoining plantation, are endeavorlng tc

Rouge, is regarded as beyond control, 1t il

from this creVasse will flow into Ship Island

except to Story plantation, where there we're
500 acres in stubble and $50 acres in plant
cane. This will doubtless be almost entirely
destroyed. The ends of the levee on each
side of the break at Live Oak Grove creyasse
have been secured, and the belief is that the
break will be closed. Small breaks between
New Orleans and Baton Rouge have been
closed. A number of back levees are reported
broken about Lake Concordis, False river
and elsewhere.
The Buckhorn break is at least half a
mile wide and about len feet deep. The
water is spreading all over the country and
the people are on the tops of houses waiting
to be removed. james A. Stone and james
b. Stone, at Omega, rescued ninety people by
means of skiffs. The reports telegraphed of
the burning of the ginhoue of Mr.. GAMER,

CREvAsSEs IN THE STATE.
The secretary of the Board of State En-
gineers gives the following Information con-
corning crevasses in this state, from the
Arkansas line to the mouth OF the river;
also on bayous Lafourche and Atchafalaya.
Ashton crevasses have been open since 1867.
They begin near the upper line of Carroll
parish and extend into Arkansas; estimated
length eight miles.
In Madison parish there are crevasses at
Omega, Buckner, Morgauza, Miilikens Bend,
Delta, Beggs and Diamond bland Bend,
the last named open since 1867.
In Tensas parish, at WOODBURY., Buckner,
Point Pleasant, Ship Bayou, Hard Times,
Fardfeld, Hardscrabble and Kemp.
In Concordia parish, at Claremont and
Glascock, the latter open since 1874.
In Point Coupee parish, at MorgaDza and
Point Coupee; the former has been open since
1874.
In Ascension parish, at Landry place.
In St. John the Baptist parish, at Bonnet
Care, open since 1874.
In St. Bernard parish, at the Story planta-
ton.

OUR TICKET.

nominated by the County Convention on
the Sth inst. is conceded by all as good as
could be desired being made up of the very
best material of the county. With such
standard bearers the party need have no
Of every man on the ticket.
Hon. E. Woodward, nominee for State
Senator, is well known to the people of
Benton county. He was member of the
Senate at the session of 1880, and did good
service in the memorable contest over the
passage of Senate bill No. 80, measure
that was calculated to relieve the people
from oppression by common carriers. This
bill was defeated, however, through the
efforts of the attorneys and agents of Mr..
Willard; and when it was attempted to pass
an unfair apportionment bill, which had for
its object the concentration of Legislative
power at the northern end of the State, at
the expense of the Willamette valley, Mr..
Woodward was one of the two Republican
members who nobly arose above party lines
and espoused the cause OF the people by
voting against the bill, and thereby defeat
ing it. The interests of Benton county,
and the whole people, will be safe in his
hands.
Mr.. Tolbert Carter, on the Representative
ticket, is an old and respected citizen of the
county who has long been identified with
our interests and has represented US in the
Legislature before to the satisfaction of his
constituents and honor to himself. He will
prove every way worthy of the trust i'm
posed in him.
Mr.. e. J. Nichols is young man OF fine
aatnral ability and a good education; he has
grown to manhood in this county and his
whole life, known as it is to the people, will
bespeak for him warm support and sure

The 1882 hand-books of this road have
just reached Corvallis. On the front page
we read as follows:
''The work of 1882 will leave only gap
of 800 miles to be filled in 1883. The sum-
mer of that year will see a continuous line
from New York, Chicago, or Dulath to
Deep Water on Puget Sound. 1t will be for
many reasons the favorIte route for tourists,
who will seek the unr1Salled scenery of the
Yellowstone valley, the Columbia river, and
Puget Sound" We read the paper from end
to end to find the wonderful terminus at
Portland, and the charms of the metropolis
of the Northwest portrayed. Not word.
Then We turned to the map.
The road is shown along the Northern
bank of the Columbia from Ainsworth to

Portland away off altogether. Well, we

South Carolina, under Democratic rule,
says the N. Y. Times, maintains its ancient
reputation for hostility to the authority Of
the United States. At first it was agreed
among the Democratic leaders that while
the State law officers should defend the
persons accused Of violating the Federal
election laws, this should be done unoffi-
cially, the officers appearing as private
counsel. The Governor, however, has
boldly ordered the State Attorney to de-
fend the accused persons, as though the
sovereign State of South Carolina had been
invaded. On the same principle, we must
suppose, if some of the local authorities of
the city of Charleston were to be arrested
for evading the United States statutes re-
garding the importing Of dutiable merchan-
disc, the Governor would be bound to de-
fend the accused persons at the expense of
the State. And, in order to carry out the
idea that South Caroline is foreign State,
IL number of Republicans are to be arrested
and held as hostages ION various pretexts)
until an exchange of prisoners can be effect
ed. man for man. Experience does not
seem to have taught much to the present
generation of South Carolina politicians.

We should like to draw attention here
to little paragraph in the me,cs depart

we believe to be accurate:
"The Oregon which is due tonight,

stcerage and 1878 tons of freight, los tons
of which is for Astoria. The number of
passengers and quantity of freight is now

A pretty good showing at current prices.
Just figure it tor yourselves; the rates OF
passengers and freight are well known. 1t
looks to US as if there might be some little
employment for the Oregon Pacific steamers,
between San Francisco and Yaquina, since
then will not be liable to be diverted from
Yaquina to Puget Sound, or the completion
