but called attention to the fact that
in his district the Mississippi ri yer
was nine miles wide. There was
rise coming from the Missouri river sup
plemented by great rise out of the over
flow Of the Ohio river. There were to-day
in his district 10000 people whose houses
We're flooded.
Mr.. Rice, of Massachusetts,, objected to
the resolution, saying that it should be
considered by the Committee on ApprO-
priations.
Mr.. Ellis appealed to Mr.. Rice to with
draw his objection, predicting that if
there was any delay the House would be
called upon to consider not an ounce Of
prevention but many pounds of cure. The
city OF New Orleans was doing all it could
to prevent catastrophe, but the State
Legislature was not in session.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, said that
the resolution had been informally con-
sldered fayorably by the Committee on
Appropriations, and in view of this state
ment Mr.. Rice withdrew his objection.
Mr.. Beach, of New York. and MIR. York.
of North Carolina, expressed their OppOsi-
ton to the resolution, but made no formal
objection.
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana, said that he had
received letter from one ofthe engineers
OF the Mississippi River Commission, pre-
dieting the greatest disaster that could
possibly be conceived Of if precautions
were not taken to prevent the overflow of
the city of New Orleans. He hoped that
no one would object to the resolution, as
delay of one day might cost the govern
ment many times more than the paltry
amount that was asked for.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, doubted til e
constitutional power of Congress to ap-
propriate public money for the relief of
sufferers by flood, fire or storm.
LOST AND REINTRODUCED.
The joint resolution was lost by 90 yeas
to ll5 nays, but by unanimous consent it
was reintrOduced by Mr.. Ellis and re-
terred to the Committee on Appropria-
tiOns.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, submit
ted the conference report on the Senate
resolution for an addition of $4,000 to the
Senate contingent fund. 1t was agreed
u. The House recedes from its amend
ment, which confines the expenditure of
TINS sum to Investigations previously or
dered, and agrees to an amendment which
confines the expenditure to the payment
of the current expenses of the Special and
Select Committee.
Mr.. Randall, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported back the little
deficiency bill with Senate amendments
recommending concurrence in some and
non-concurrence in others of those
amendments. The recommendations were
agreed to.

TiIden and a Tariff for Revenue Ouly.
Boston, March 24.-The Post, to-mor-
row morning, will print several col
umns of short letters from Democratic
members of the Legislatures of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts
and Connecticut, in which the writers
give their preferences for Presidential
candidates, their first and second choice,
and also their views Of the tariff question.
Illden leads in each State save Massa-
chusetts, where he and Butler are about
even. He is strong faYoPite in Maine,
where also Greenback members are heard
from in favor of Tilden as first choice. In
Vermont, NEARLY every Democratic member
of the Legislature is for Tilden. On the
tariff question majority of all heard
from are for a tariff for revenue only. In
each State an overwhelming majority
favor the Morrison bill and a gradual
reduction of tariff taxation. OF the men,
bers who declare unequivOeally for the
continuance of the present high tariff two
are New Hampshire men, three COnnecti-
cut, and one Massachusetts. Two New
Hampshire manufacturers favor an i'm
mediate reduction, and one favors the
tariff as it is at present.
