WASHINGTON, March 16-An iuvesiiga.
ton of the consumption and distribution Of
corn and wheat 10 March 1st has baen com
pletsd by the Department of Agriculture.
1t makes the stock of corn on hand at thst
date about $50 100000 bushels, OF 36 per
cent. OF last yesr's crop. OF this, 380, ,000, 900
bushels are in the States of the central
basin north OF Tennessee, and I66, ,000, 900
bushels in the Southern s. ates. Most of the
remainder is in the Middle States In com-
psrison with the aversge stock of the past
Eve years at the same date, there is scarcely
any increase in the West or Middle States.
In the South the per cent. of the crop re-
naming is 43, ins;esd of SO. Taking all the
States together, the increased stock is about
2 per cent. The seven surplus corn Statss,
from Ohio west to Nebraska ard Kanss. in.
elusive, had 33 per cent. of The crop on hand
against 27 per cent. last Msrch aud 80 per
cent. OF the crop of 1880 on The 1st of March,
1881, when the estimated stocks were 413,-
100000 bushels. The present total is about
320,000,000 bushels, against 200 000, 900 last
March. 10 Illinois and Iowa the proportion
on hand is less than The average Of the pre-
vions five years. 10 Missouri and Kansas it
is greater. Tne distribution OF the quantity
already consumed illustrates the rural
economy of the different sections. In all the
South, about one-ffth is used for the food OF
man, over half for food OF work animals,
and the remainder for feeding swine and
cattle. Ia the West half is used for feeding
for meat products, 6 per cent. for food Of
mar, one-fifth for feediog work animals, and
proportion not much larger is shipped to
distant markets. The proportion Of wheat
on hand March 1st is % per cent. of the
crop, at about 40 100000 bushels. The pro-
portion for the last FIVE years at that date is
nearly the same. In the States of the CEN
tral basin the total reported on hand ia
104 100000 bushels. The proportion re-
naming in the Southern States is Is per
cent, instead OF % per cent. in the average
Of previous years. In the PaciGc States the
percentage is % per cent, instead of the for
mer average of So per cent. The details of
distribution will be given at length in the

HELENA, March 16.-Tnrough the courtesy
of Capt. W. D. Kilby, owner of the steam
tug Billy Kilby, your correspondent to day

djscent localities now under water. At
Frisrs Point there is little or no damage 10

reached the maximum OF last year. The
breaks this year are both above ard below
the town, increasing the depth of water
within the levee and extent of country over
flowed. Through the breaks water is still
pouring, but there has been a decline Of five
inches in the overflow. With the more
rapid decline just set IL, there is every rea-
son 10 expect the usual crop 10 that section.
Delta is abandoned. Westover and country
back of it is no worse afflicted than in 1882
Everywhere there wss sprited protest
against the sensational reports sent abroad,
and assurances of a better state of affairs
than generally supposed.
The people, though soreiy afflicted, are
full of vitality and hope, determined to
maintain themselves against any calamity
ehort Of the millennium. With such a spirit
abroad in the land there is no reason for
despair. The river has fallen quite four
inches here in the last twenty. four hours,
showing now a disposition to get away as
quickly as possible.
The ginhouse of John Powell, in Missis-
sippi, opposite this point, was burned last
night. 1t was full Of negro refugees, who
bare escaped into the overflow with their
lives. Some cotton and one child were lost.
Ia Iadian Bay and vicinity, situated on
White river, there is the same multiplicity
of troubles by the food detailed Of other
places, stock and fencing being the chief
items destroyed.
The Helena levees are growing better with
every fair day, and confidence is being
rapidly restored. The dark hour preceding

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Assist ant Sec

for publication a statement 10 regard to the
charges against upervising-Architeot Hill.
He denies slI knowledge of any chsrges.
This is mere quibble. The statement was
that charges had been prepared for the con-
sideration of Secretary Folger. Assistant
Secretary French is not the proper psrson TO
pass upon such charges, as he is the head
who has the approval of all HilPs work; i;
and some years ago, wheu charges were pre-
ferred against contractors for fraud, Mr..
French's department supplied the accused
with early copies of the charges, and gave
them access 10 the records Of the department
before the prosecuting officers had an oppor-
tunity to exsmine them. The opinion ID
that il would be uuwise TO put new inquiry
into the hands of fAssistant-Sscretary French
1t is said good deal OF evidence can be
found against Supervising Architect Hill.
