We believe that the press of the
State would almost without an ex-
ception. sustain the Governor in
calling the Legislature together
for the purpose of acting on the
levce question, if when that is fin
ished, it would adjourn. The plan
adopted by those most interested
in this matter, we think will GER
tainly secure that end. Each men,
Der has been individually address
ed to know if he is willing to ad.
iourn when the special interest OF
the levee district is settled, with
out introducing any other business
before it. This will put every man
upon his honor, and majority OF
them answering in the Affirmative,
would, we think, justify the Gov
ernor in calling a special session
of the lawmakers of our State.
Such a meeting will have but q
day or two of duration, and cost
the State some six or eight thous.
and dollars, small amount when
considered with reference to the
great interest involved in protect
ing the Delta from overflow. The
counties interested in this matter
having met and formed one dist
rict, and agreed upon line of ac'
tion, all that is wanting is to give
IL the force of law, when they will
feel assured of protection from
future overnows.-Clarion.

runica and Yazoo, called with the
purpose of laying out the prelimi
naries for the formation of a new
levee district. and arranging other
matters pertaining to the subject,
takes occasion to observe:
1T is indeed a sad state of affairs
when the Legislature of State
cannot be by the Governor of that
State trusted in one place together
with authority. In this instance
the subject matter proposed to be
acted upon is of transccndant i'm
portance to so large a. portion of
Mississippi's most industrious pop.
ulation, that nothing less than
some insuperable obstacle should
hinder a prompt and decisive set
tlement, and no authority can
make it except the Legislature.
Among the conflicting opinions of
the inhabitants of the often desc.
lated region, we are not called to
hold the balance of judgment; but
the entire Valley, from the jetties
to st. Louis, will sympathetically
hope that some solution may be
reached promptly. The present
Legislature, unless convoked, can
not reassemble; the next one will
not meet till January, 1884, too late
to prepare for defense against pos
sible disastrous inundation during
the next year. The Clarion thinks
that the Legislature could dispose
Of the subject in two days. Two
years in succession the people of
that rich delta have been flooded.
Isit right to risk another overflow 7
If so, the reasons should be very
good Ones"
The Governor cannot, we think,
be prejudiced by calling an extra
session of the Legislature; judging
by the press Of the State there
are very few counties opposed to
it, although they have no interest
in the matter. But even il there
is opposition, the Governor should
rise superior to it and do his duty.
He is elected for the whole people
and should do his duty towards
each part of them. Another over.
flow may cause utter destitution in
the part of the Valley lately SUBJ
merged; when its citizens are beg
ging help, when the sympathies of
the whole country 90 out to thom,
when the purse of the State in
very shame will be called on to
contribute, then all will feel the
urgency of an extra session. True
these calamities may not occur,
but all occasion for them should
be avertcd. The Valley has al.
ready suffered much, labor has be-
come dissatis fed and another over
flow may rum the entire country.
Fields already in some places are
only half in cultivation which once
produced largo crops. Let the
Governor show himself equal to
his opportunity, let him do what
the occasion demands, and those
he has aided will look upon him as
q benefactor and tho clamor of
those opposing our wants because
they do not understand them, will
( die away and be of no effect.
