hoisting of that on the Halifax citadel. Since
4 p. M, the snow mas been falling in various
sections OF the western part of the province in
some places heavily.
AT midnight the storm in this section is still
in its fury and not few expect the verifc 4
tion of Wiggin's prediction is close at hand.

GREENBAcK-LABoR PARTY.
An Address to the People from the
Creenbacle Cnnrraseroar


Greenback Congressman.
WASHINGTON, March 6--The representatives
of the Greenbsck-labor party in the Forty
seventh Congress have issued an address TO
the country OF which the following are the
principal features: 'The word national
covers all the benefits resulting from union
of the States, but very few OF its advantages
can be enjoyed unless there are perfect har-
mony, fraternity, and good feeling among all
classes in all sections of the country, which is
not the case now, the 40 years controversy
over sectional issue still controls the minds
and hearts Of majority of the people, and
will while the parties representing the pre-
judices associated with their names continue
TO exist The observation-disclosures party is free
from all prejudices, because the questions it
represents relate to the present and future
welfare of the whole people, and under its
banner all can unite, without regard to their
relation to the late war, their religion or past
condition. Money should be equal to the
requirements of business on a cash basis The
people are now doing business on 81 of credit
to 81 in money, and panic must follow in
this case, as in all preceding ones of like
character. We hold that the government can is
sue paper money in time of peace as we'll as war,
and should do so if the necessities of the people
require such action. Money issued and used
to build monuments of peace, thereby giving
employment to labor, would produce more last
ing and beneficial results than money expend-
relieve the present manifest necessities of the
people and the requirements of the Govern
ment, TO prevent panics and prelude their re-
cnrrence, we hold that the money now in the
Treasury should be Immediately used in the
payment of all outstanding interest bearing
obligations now due or payable at the cotton OF
the Government, and that an additional
amount of full legal tender notes should be- is
sued for any Of the purposes for which tho
Government requires money until the peoples
representatives in Congress decide its vol
lume is equal TO the demands of business and
the permanent welfare of the people, and we
further hold that all egal-tender notes or 9TH
or government obligations hereafter issued and
entering into use as money should never be
funded into interest-hearing bonds, but al
ways remain as a circulating medium ia the
hands of the people," The address then de-
clares that the late Congress has devoted
weeks to the discussion of tariff and internal
revenue measures under pretense of giving re-
lief TO the people, while it has perpetuated a
financial system which renders relief impossi-
BILE, and has wasted much time in appeals
TO sectional feeling which should have been
devoted to legitimate legislation. It is signed
By Messrs. Burrows, Jones, Rice, Lord, Hazel
tine Brumm and Cook.

lSpteldl OeSpducn 10 me GIeSS
AUGUSTA, March 6-Contrary to expeeta-
tions the House to-day by vote of 56 to 81
passed the order introduced by Mr. Rogers of
Bath asking the justices of the Supreme Court
for their opinion whether in the apportion-
ment of representatives among the several
counties it is constitutional to take into consd-
Grafton fractions left in making of the appor-
tionment of Senators. If the court renders an
opinion it will probably not be given until
after the Legislature adjourns. In case it is
decided that the apportionment made by the
present Legislature is unconstitutional Repre-
sentatiyes and Senators will be elected in 1884
on the apportionment of 1871.
The afternoon session began at 2.30 and last
ed three hours. The savings bank bill was
passed 10 be engrossed as reported from the
committee and the divorce bill was passed to
be enacted An order was introduced limit
ing speeches during the remainder of the
session to FIVE minutes each
The Senate held only one session. The bill
to establish the fertilizer control and agricul-
tural experiment station came up by assign
ment, but was tabled until to morrow owing to
the absence OF Senator Marble Of Lincoln.
The bill to restore the death penalty comes up
Tomorrow and win be discussed al length.
More orders have been introduced this year
than ever before excusing members from
further attendance upon the sessions of the
Legislature. THIS is owing to the uncertainty
which prevails about final adjournment and
to the fact that most of the important ques-
tions have been disposed Of Judge Goddard
is busy Incorporating the laws enacted by the
present Legislature into the new revision.
THE INSOLVENCY LAWS.
The following bill additional to the insolyent
laws has been reported:
Upon discharge in insolvency being duly
granted, the debtor shall be forever thereafter

prisonment in any suit or upon any proceed
ing for or on accoun Of any debt or demand

zens, we are against private assassination. Our
cause is just and all we ask is fair fight aud
an open field. Cheers.l Great Britain has
always been against the United States. Who

CINCINNATI, March GA despatch from He-

upon the long lake levee have become alarmed
and are moving their stock and goods from the
entire bottom. The population are fleeing to
high land, carrying all their valuables with
them. The negroes are panic stricken, hurry
ing hither and thither, seeking places of seeur-
ity.
The Iron Mountain track and Langvile
bride are submerged. Transfers by boats ena-
BILE trains TO continue running. Desperate ef-
forts are being made to maintain the levees
which are still intact The general opinion
will be thrown into the shade by the water,
now in sight and sure TO come The citizens
of Helena consider the situation as critical
ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Despatehes from He
Iona, Ark, say that the breaking of the Fitz
hugh levee for miles below there will probably
not affect Helena, but should the backwater
threaten the place the culyert on the Midland
railroad embankment will be closed, which
will ensure safety. About 100, 900 acres of land
will probably be overlooked by the breaking of
Fitzhugh levee This section was flooded last
year and no crops of any consequence were
made on it after the water subsided. The
owners Of land were generally in debt prior to
that time.
HELENA, Ark, March 6.-The river rose
five inches during the past "a hours 1t has
been raining all day and the new levees are
completely saturated. Should q strong east
wind arise nothing could save the city From
Ashley Point to Helena, a distance of 30 milas,
the country is completely inundated. The le-
wee at Friar Point, Miss, is reported to have
given way to-day.
