The Threatened In.na:.Isa Of New Oh

The Threatened InUnftafi4n n of New Or
leans Discussed in tae House.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-9n the House,
to day, quite debate occurred On Mr..
Ellis asking unanimous consent to intro
duce joint resolution setting forth that
New Orleans was in imminent danger OF
overflow, and appropriating S30o,00o, to
be Immediately available for its preven-
ton.
Mr.. Dunn reserved his objection until
he should hear some explanation of the
resolution. He wished to know by what
art of legertiemain the Committee on APP
propriations had leaped from the OHIO
river to the city Of New Orleans, regard
less. of the appeals made by 100000 people
of Arkansas and Mississippi
Mr.. Ellis objected to The. word legerde-
main, used SO glibly by sse gentleman
from Arkansas. The objec. of the resolu-
ton was not for the relief OF sufferers; but
to prevent what might be the. appalling
calamity OF the age. The wafer in the
river was up to the top OF the levees, and
whenever the food waters v'ont " over
levee that levee was doomed. There was
nothing between the city of New Ocleans
and river sixteen feet above the level of
the city but d dirt wall The calamity
that must ensue if the water fose higher
could not be depicted by human Language.
1t would be the cal2mity Of the ags.
Mr.: Dunn Withdrew any objection, but
called attention to the fact that in his dis
trict the Mississipni ives ninety miles wide
GTnere was a rise coming from the Mis-
souri, river supplemented bv a great rise
out of the overflow of the Ohio. There
were to-day in his district 10000 people
whose homes we're flooded.
Mr.. Fice objected to the resolution. saw
ing it should be considered Ry the Com
m,ittee on 4 Api5ropriatio..r.
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 preyen-
ton, but many pounds of cure. The CITY
of New Orleans was doing all it could to
sararant the catastrephe. but the State
Legislature was not II sessiefz.

IL it were possible in this free country
TO force the observance of Christian
Sabbath, the question would first have to
be settled which of all the churches that
speak in the name OF Christ are entitled
to be known as the Christian Church.
The Roman Catholic claims to be, and so
far as history goes is fae Church by priori-
ty OF establishment and logical move
ment. Its rules as to the observance of
Sunday have always been liberal and
rational. 1t exacts attendance at mass
once on Sunday as duty aboveall others !;
that done the Catholic can do as he pleases
in decency except during the penitential
season of Lent. But our Jealous brothers Of
the Protestant Churches would not agree or
consent to Catholic rule even in a matter
so simple, nor would they admit the piece
dence of either OF their own bodies as The
Christian Church. And yet, if we are TO
have Christian Sabbath il is OF the first
importance to know which is TIE Christian

BATON RoUGE, March 23.-Since day.
light this morning it rained continuously.
The river is now at the high-water mark
of 1882. The Mulatto Point crevasse has
been abandoned. No further effort will be
made to close the opening, The force at
that point had been distributed at ada
cent works or threstet'ed points. West
Baton Rouge suffers several hundred thou
sand dollars There is much uneasiness
concerning levees in this section. The
rain doubtless will continue during the
night, and the river surely advance several
inches. The general impression is that
there will be trouble in this neighborhood
in the next twenty-four hours. The gen.
eral complaint is made that pilots run
boats too near the shore, causing damage
to the legees. The break at Mulatto point
is now 200 feet wide, and fully twelve feet
deep. The Medina levee is reported gone.
The backwater is steadily enci oaching

The G,teer's Lace Handkerchief scored a
success at Leubrie's Theater last night,
and SO far is the hit of the season.
1t was received with the most
enthusiastic expressions of delight, the
audience at times going completely
wild over the carnival OF bright,
infectious music, whose effect was hight
ened by a splendid display of artistic cos
tunes OF all the varied hues of the rain
bow. No opera comiYte has ever been
given in Memphis with more success, and
none can now be remembered which elic
tied so warm an expression of approval.
The ibretO, in the first place, is
better than most of its class,
the story hinging upon an intrigue, and as
it is royal amour, kings and queens
and princes, lords and ladies must appear,
and thus an opportunity is given for regal
dressing, which always adds by its bright
ness to the charm of music. The scene,
while in the happiest vein of the COM
poser, Strauss, is difficult and requires the
most careful training. There is a swinging
OF rhythmic motion through the whole
OF it which almost irresistibly sets
the feet going III accompaniment. AS
to the company itself, it may be said that
it is almost perfect While there is moth
ing remarkable about any one singer, to-
gether they make a magnificent effect
There is nothing to find fault with and

this section was visited by terrible wind

Waterloo gave away, and all the valuable

water will effect the river front, and all
places in Shevalle, including the
New York Warehouse Company.
Many people here during the storm
yesterday moved out on the hills. Water
is in the principal streets, and the rear OF
the town is overfiowed, caused by heavy
rain and the breakage of the drainage
machine. A flatboat in tow was swamped
during the storm yesterday, and thirty
head OF cattle were drowned. Col. Cenor,
of st. Mary parish, is here, and says he is
using all efforts to save what remains of
the Pointe Coupee levees. Much distress
will result from the Waterloo crevasse
and many small farmers and poor people
on False river lose all their stock. The
