A Flood.

MONTREAL, Jan. 6.-The river began to rise
last night, and before midnight had risen
twenty inches. The Ice broke early this morn
ing, and at o clock this afternoon the water
was within two and half feet of the top
revelment wall from the entrance of the canal
to Bonscours market. The ice is piled up in
some places over the revelment wall. The
cellars of the custom house and the harbor

on Commission and Common streets are more
or less flooded. Ia some places the water
reached the cellars on st. Paul street. But
very little damage was done in that quarter
unless the lcs opposite St. Helena Island should
give way, the river must continue to rise, in
VIII oh case serious damage would result.

shsis Of Marshal Lot Wright. There
never was more righteous thing done
than the employment Of that little
army"
Will you be Of the same opinion IL IN
1856 tho Democrats appoint ten thou
sand deputy marshals in your city and
pay them out Of the Federal Treasury
TO assist in eIecting Democratic Con
eressg Marshal WRIGHT appointed
one or two or three thousand, we are
not sure as to the exact number. But
the right TO appoint one thousand inn
plies the right to appoint ter thousand,
there being in the infamous law passed
by Radical Congress to secure the
election of Republican congressman
no limit whatever put to the number Of
deputies whom the marshal may APP
point. Now, we again ask the Com
mercial-Adrertiser if it will be in favor
Of the appointment two years hence Of
Democratic deputy marshals in such
force as 10 amount TO bribery and cor
ruption? A voter is approached and
offered deputy marshal's place and
FIVE dollars day, provided he intends
to vote the ticket which the marshal in
tends to vote. This is the worst sort
Of bribery. 1t is bribery effected by
the use Of the money Of the people whose
candidates are to be defeated by its use.
II is bad enough for man to employ
his own money in bribing voters but
TO employ the public money for this
purpose is still worse.
1t is just as certain as that day fol-
lows night and night day that the en-
ployment of Federal deputy marshals
and supervisors to control the elections
Of congressman will, if persisted in, re-
suit in the utter destruction of our free
institutions. And if the Republicans
in the present Congress refuse to repeal
all these Objectionable laws, they may
expect to have the poisoned chalice
commended to their own lips in 1886
and 1888. The Democrats will not
allow a bad law to remain upon the
statute-book to be used under Republi-
can Presidents and disused under Demo-
cratic Presidents.

defining His Position.

As we on Sunday styled our friend
of the State an involuntary incidental
protectionist," we cannot but allow
him to define his own position. He
does it clearly in the following article,
which, however, we read through in the
expectation of seeing him run against a
snag. But he didn't. He landed safe.
We quote
at is necessary to add but little to
what our friend Of the Dispatch says.
This much further, however, we may
say in explanation of the relative posi-
tons of protectionists and revenue-ta-
riff men. They present themselves to
us in this wise The extreme protection
lists who hold that protection is the OBJ
ect and revenue is the incident; another
class Of protectionists who think tariff
should have both objects, protection and
revenue another which asks for
tariff for revenue with incl
dental protection, protection being
subordinate yet by no means to
be disregarded, and which con-
stitutes the class of moderate protec-
tionists; the revenue-tariff men who
declare that taxation should be exclu-
sively for revenue, which shall be used
for the support of Government, and who
do not recognize the idea of protection
as one which should enter into the ques-
ton of taxation. Whatever protection
may be incidentally furnished by the
revenue tax that is levied on imports is
with the last named in no sense even a
subordinate object or wished-for Incl
dent, which with the incidental-protec-
ZIONIST is fully half an object. As
the Dispatch says, the incidental pro-
lection of any revenue tariff is with
them Involuntary. But at the same
time the term involuntary incidental
protectionists, because it lacks the
word revenue, falls short of describing
those who are, strictly speaking, reve-
nue-tariff men, for they do not recog-
nize the constitutionality of protec-
ton in any form, revenue being their
single great object. We doubt not
that there are many Protectionists--and
among them We beg to say that we do
not include our friend of the Dispatch
who, as voluntary protectionists.
whether holding protection to be an OBJ
ject, or half-incident half-object, would
be glad to compel revenue-tariff men to
be involuntary protectionists. But that
is impossible. The great work of reye-
nue. reform must be carried out. Taxes
must be levied, not to pay bounties to
any favored class, but for the support
of "a government of the people, by the
people, for the people,"

csssr.3usssee w.ise's pess<ssse ,i1sssa
a washington spsoisi 70 ths New
York Times says Chief-Justice Waite
has been very III for more than six
weeks. Last summer he was stricken
with paralysis, but recovered sufficient
" to give his physicians and friends
hopes Of complete physical and hen
tal restoration. About two months
aro erysipelas attacked his face
and head. His brain has been
affected by this dangerous disease, and
for considerable period he has been
lucid only at intervals. These troubles
have been complicated by q severe cold.
He has been occasionally better, put
there are no encouraging signs OF ulti-
mate recovery. For six weeks ne has
been confined to bed, and recently no
one save his family and physicians have
been permitted to see him.
The effect Of the paralytic stroke Is
now deemed TO have been more severe
than was supposed, and crysipelas IS
sucb an insidious disease that danger Is
always imminent when the patients
head is attacked. Unless it yields
readily to treatment, death will follow
speediIy. In the Chief Justices case,
while the disease is stubborn, it yields
sufficiently to treatment to give hope,
but bare hope only. His family arc
very apprehensive and Respondent.
The most intimate friends of the CHIEF
Justice are hopeless of his final re-
coyery. The utmost they expect is
that he may linger for few months.
Should he die before the 4th Of March,
Frederick Il. Frelinghuysen, Secretary
of State, will undoubtedly be nomi-
mated for Chief Justice. If Chief-Jus-
tice Waite should have lucid interval
sufficiently long 10 enable him to com
prehend his real situation he would
probably resign, in order to enable his
successor to be appointed by President
Arthur.
The Chief Justice was born Noyem-
Der 90, 1916, and is therefore in his
sixty-ninth year. If he should resign
before he had reached the age Of seventy
wears he would not be entitled to re-
ceiye his pay. If he should not resign
or die before the 4th Of March, it is UNI
derstood that Mr.. Justice Bradley, who
has reached the age at which he can re-
tire and continue to draw full pay, will
resign to make way for Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen, who was on August 4, 1884, sixty
seven years old. In less than three
years he would reach the age of retire
ment. but the law requires ten years Of
service to qualify for retirement on pay.
IL Chief-Justice Waite should not re-
sign and live until after the 4th Of
March his successor, in all human pro-
liability, would be nominated by Presi-
dent Cleveland. In that event Mr.. JUS
tice Field would perhaps be made Chief
Justice. He was sixty-eight on the 4th
of November, 1884, and would be eli
gible for retirement November 4, 1886.
Should Justice Field be promoted to the
chief-justiceship, the vacancy thus
created on the bench would probably be
filled by the nomination of Mr.. James
w. Carter, of New York city, or Au-
gustus III. Garland, senator from
Arkansas.
Mr.. Justice Miller, during the inca
pacity of Chief-Justice Waite, is acting
Chief Justice. 1t may be his duty to
administer the oath of Office to Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland on the 4th of March
next
