THE NEW LEGISLATURES

Ions Will aSSellOlo ~ VI"
;ta, This is by far the most I'M
nortapt department of our State
government. In the list Of legisla- {
tors elect there is a large number
Of names comparatively new in the {
role Of craftsmanship, but they are
the chosen representatives OF the
people and are supposed to DO Ca
nable and honest. Outside Of the
many important subjects of leg'sla-
ton that will claim their attention
one essential requisite for the sue
cessful administration of their du-
ties is that their department OF the
government shall co operate and
harmonic with the Executive.
There may be many representa-
tives in the new Legislature who,
together with a large element OF
their constituency, bitterly warred
AGAINST and wanted to defeat the
nomination of Gov. McEnery. In
, this they failed. Gov. McEnery re-
t ceived the nomination and has
:. been elected by a majority ranging
e between 100000 and $4,000, indi-
= eating that he is not only the choice
n of the people but that the people
i have Endorsed the policy Of his past
II administration.
The new members, therefore,
n should have the common sense tc
il realize that they do not represent
u the sentiment that antagonized thu
q present Executive in the canvass
to for nomination, for all know tina
o sentiment was worked for all it wa
m worth and failed to prevail The,

The Postal Telegraph.

Washington, 25.-Rspresentative
Sumner. Of California, appeared be-
fore the House committee on POST
offices and postrosds to day in aovo-
cacy Of his. bill to establish a govern
ment postal telegraph and in oppo-
sition to the proposed contract be-
tween the government and the
Postal Telegraph company. His
bill, he asserted, would not cost the
government q dollar, as the money
necessary to establish the postal
telegraph could be raised by the is
suance of bonds. There wac more
that could be said OF the other pro-
pOsitions. He asserted that the
government could do the telegraph
ing for the people at 10 cents per
message, and clear expenses, as
would be under comparatively
lille expense for Office rent, fuel ana
Epht. which were very expensive.
The proposition of the postal com
pany, ne declared. was but a TRICK
Of Maskey s. Co. to prevent the es-
tablishment of the postal telegraph.
The Government propozed to give
the franchises to this company, and
also to give a monopoly, worth $4O,-
000,OO0 to them, in return for which
the people would get no lower rates
than they could secure at present.

At Steubenville, the highest point, forty nine

One-half inches. At 9 o'clock it was sixty-three
feet, having risen half an inch an hour At 10
o'clock it had risen only quarter of IAN inch.
Relief work continues prompt. Large subscrip
tions are made daily on Change. A large vacant
store room on the corner of Fourth and Race
streetsis used as headquarters but the supplies are
distributed systemcally through various branch
depots located near the submerged districts.
To-day thousand hams, 1000 pounds of cooked
cOrned beef and 1000 or 6, 900 loaves of bread
were distributed, besides free meals given at the
market-house to all who apply. Two thousand
people are sleeping tonight in schoolhouses.
Relief boats, ten in number under the control of
the associated charities, ply through the flooded
districts and distribute food and bedding where
necessary to occupants of houses.
Col Lewis Wilson, chairman of the Knights
of Honor, has sent the following dispatch to
Thomas E. Richards, of GAINESVILLE, O., grand
dictator of Ohio:
"Our central relief committee are engaged in
the work of aiding suffering humaniay, without
regard to creed or color. We make no appeal
for aid, but will gratefully receive such as
slstance as may be rendered by sister lodges"
The militial are on duty tonight assisting the

Three hotels and thirty OF more business houses
are closed by the flood The people are occupying

rising two inches an hour.
At Ripley, o., the loss will be fully equal to
last years. Many houses have been swept ffom
their foundations. Two hundred families are
homeless. The river is rising one and half
inches an hour tonight A relief committee has
been organized, and citizens are taking care of
unfortunate neighbors.
At Gallipolis, at P. NJ, the river was rising
two and one-half inches an hour, and was then

There is nothing in the report that the island
bridge had gone and no lives are known to be
lost, !.
AT 10 o'clock tonight the water has fallen to
forty-eignt feet and is still going down rapidly.
The distress and suffering caused by the flood,
however, is hourly growing worSe With all the
volunteers who can be employed the relief com
mittees are otable to find the homeless and des-
titute fast as supplies are needed. Glass
houses, stores public and private schools, and
churches are converted into homes for the refu-
gees, and the work of relief is carried
on as rapidly as possible. The steamer
Belle Prince was chartered by R. L.
DENIES, general agent of the Baltimore
& Ohio, road and taken to Moundsville and five
miles up Grave creek, the nearest point to the
river that trains could run, where passengers
who have been bloodhound for two days were
taken aboard and brought to the city. Five
immense slides cover nearly a mile of the Balti-
more & Ohio road, between here and Mounds
vile, and it will be week after the falling of
the water before trains can reach the city.
Other roads are probably seriously injured,
though no definite reports are received. Three
large tanneries were washed away here The
loss will reach $50, 900, and other tanneries lose
nearly as much by inundation. Thieves have
been detected chopping holes in the roofs of sub
merged houses and stealing contents. The
mayor this evening, swore in one hundred extra
police, who will patrol the flooded portions of
the city all night. AT the present rate of falling
thewater will be below the danger line by day
light.
Word has been received that the people at
Welisburg, twenty miles up the river, are suffer
ing from famine. At Benwood the situation was
as bad but relief party visited there on the
steamer Regular and left lib eral supply of pro
visions. A window glass works, believed to be
from Wellsburg, has lodged at the lower end of
the city.

PrivatiOn Increasing.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
AURORA, Feb. S.-Your correspondent to-day
again visited Lawrenceburg, and spent the entire
day in moving about the town and seeing all
that had been and was transpiring The condition
of things there is worse than it was yesterday
The river has risen but little yet additional res
licences have been turned over and removed
from their foundations, and as many as twenty
houses have been wrecked, and many more will
be by tomorrow. In case of high wind there
would be great destruction. That portion of
the town near the playground presents much the
same appearance as last year Great piles of
lumber, debris of stables, out-houses, fences and
slaves are mixed up in such confusion that it is
impossible to follow or even see where streets
should be. 1t is impossible to form any idea
of the probable loss and, while it
will by no means approximate the
amount last year, it will be very large. The
principal reason for this decrease in the loss is
because the property is not here to lose. 1t is
now thought that the Furniture and Coffin Com
pany, Root & Co. and J. H Burkam, will be the
heaviest losers, though later developments may
cause many more to lose heavily.
The people were so we'll prepared that, so far
there has been no organization for charity
though the commissary boat makes its regular
rounds, rendering whatever assistance necessary
All the people quartered in the public buildings
have one or two days rations yet. and the town
ship trustee is providing for the few outside who
are needy. One lot of provisions has been or
dered from indianapolis by the mayor, and an
other will be ordered tomorrow They are not
asking for charity yet, but, Judging from
the present Indications they will soon
need assistance. 1t was thought
yesterday. that the flood was at the highest
point but to-day no opinion is ventured as to the
future, and people are trying to reconcile them
selves for the worst. Even those who had made
every possible preparation fear they will need
assistance before all is over Tine greatest fear
here is of cold weather, in which event there
will be much suffering. There is no coal to be
had from the yards, and many have a very linn
tied supply above water. There is only one case
of sickness reported in all this city of dampness
and that is not serious. A drizzling rain has
been falling all day, and the water has been ris
ing at the rate of one-half inch an hour,

Aurora and Points Below.

Speclal TO the indianapolis journal.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 8.-There was but little
change in affairs at Aurora to-day. The river
was on a stand for about three hours during the
forenoon, and it only rose five inches during the
entire day. More than one-half the working
men there are out of employment and the stores
nearly all closed. The merchants have nothing
to do but walk around town and dis
cuss the probabilities. The towns of Rising Sun,
Patriot Rabbit Hash and Belleyiew sent up for
their mails to-day, it being the first time since
the food Rising Sun is still high and dry, not
a house in it being within five feet of the water.
Patriot is about half submerged, but there is
little Distress as the people of the surrounding
country are ministeling to their wants A large
portion of Vevay is reported to be under water,
by gentleman from Patriot. The water is
generally over the bottom lands along the river,
but the fences having all washed away last year,
there is not much injury to farmers.

The Flood Over, but Increasing Danger from
Weakened Foundations.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 8.-The rivers are again
within their banks and steadily receding the
Monongahela marks showing twenty-six feet
eleven inches at noon, with about one foot more
in the Allegheny. The streets in both cities are
almost entirely clear of water and the people in
the submerged districts are busy to-day cleaning
the houses and streets of yellow, Shiny mud and
debris left behind as unpleasant mementoes of
the greatest flood in fifty years. With the de-
creasing perils from water come lurking dangers
from weakened foundations, which may over
throw buildings, and from streets and pave
ments caving in where they have been un-
dermined. There is grave cause for appre-
hension from this, and every precaution will be
taken to prevent disaster Several small cave
ms occurred in different portions of the cities,
but no accident is yet reported Travel by
street-cars was resumed this morning between
all sections of Allegheny and Pittsburg and South
side railroads are also getting into shape, and
before many hours all roads, it is thought, will
be running trains usual. The Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne & Chicago road commenced sending
out through. trains this morning. Relief com
mittees have been hard at work distributing
food and fuel to the needy. Liberal donations
of money, food, clothing, and fuel continue pour
ing in from citizens, and no outside aid will be
necessary. Many families are still quartered in
public halls, and it will he still several days be-
fore the houses will be in fit condition for their
return to their homes.
