NE w ORLEANS il good deal worrie
over IA threatened danger cf the most
serious character, being nothing less
than the loss Of the Mississippi river.
For several years larger part of the
Father of Waters has been detected
into the Atchafalaya river, and reaches
the Gulf by that channel. The Missis-
sippi River Commission estimated that
in 1881, one-3ixth Of tke food discharge
had been diverted to the smaller
streams, aud the increase has been 80
extraordinary since the Captain Eads,
of Elds jetties fame, declares this, if
left to itself, the great river will within
two or three years change its course
entirely and pour down the Atchafila-
ya to to the sea. As this would close
the Lower Mississippi to navigation and
leave New Orleans on small and trib-
utary stream, it is not strange that the
people of that thriving city should be
alarmed. To ada to the soriousnoss of
the situation, the failure of the River
and Harbor Bill in the last Congress
has put Nh embargo ON the proposed

SEYMOUR ard Conkling, although re-
lated by law, are in all respects won-
derfully unlike each other. The first
is atiable, coudescendirg and patient
to a rare degree. He has the happy
faculty of interviewing interviewers

during which ne artfully con;rives to
extract from them all the political in.
formation they have filched from
others, W. en- he sends them away in a
grateful mood, with no more of the
Governors opinions, perhaps, on
political topics than when they came.
This is not characteristic of Conkling.
Next t. personal and political enemies,
newspapers excite his anger most. To
him interviewers are almost as irri-
tating as red Gag 10 baited bull.
Within year or two Seymour's health
has become fitful and unsteady; yet
his near friends believe him less feeble
than he imsgines himself to be. Occa-
sionally he appears on the street under
a heavy pressure OF outer clothing,
mufh ed to the verge of suffocation.
His only brother, John F., lawyer
in good practice, has been married
twice.

and declare that Governor Foster
Is not willing sgsin to be uomi-
mated. Foster is veteran, skilled in
political warfare, and is head and
shoulders above the small-bore politi-
uclsns who are waiting to be called.
In national sense he would not be
lost, because his public services to his
state and his country take him out of
the distinctive list of local candidates.
Foster has enough of politinal sagacity,
also, to known that if he could carry
OHIO for q third term as governor he
would be in position at least to be
considered as good ayer to the presi-
DENTAL ticket. He would have, too. at
his back the senstorship, should he
carry with his own election the legisla-
ture.
The talk of Butterworth, Townsend
or Nash as candidates strikes no pop
ular chord among the republicans here.
Their defeat would be conceded in ad-
vance by political leaders, who don't
want any experiments. With either
Sherman or Foster as a candidate
there would be the hope of success.
Foster would, no doubt, receive the aid
os the administration in canvass upon
which depended so many contingent
possibilities.
