Mr.. President: the world will move in

while no ray of that light will reach the

deeds which alone belong 10 the EN-

Mr.. PREsIDSNT: | desire to offer INV
tribute of respect to one of Mississippi's s
illustrious aud distinguished sons.
The late Senator J. ID. Vertner, of the
2Sth District, who was born in the town OF
Port Gibson, in this State, was in every
sense of the word worthy of admiration,
as a statesman, among all true Misss-
sippians. He showed that he was en-
dOwed by nature with that intellectual
power, aud culture, that endeared him
to every Senator upon the floor of this
chamber There have been but very
few men in Mississippi who commanded
more respect among their coworkers, in
such short time than that of General
Nertner. His example was one of use.

The political discussion which
was to have begun in the Senate
this week over the Presidents re.
fusal of information bearing ON Of
ficial changes, has been delayed by
the Presidents untimely and un-
precedented message. The Senate
was not prepared to discuss this
arbitrary document in an off hand
way. The message will be consid-
cred first by the Judiciary Commit
tee, but it is not now thought that
any formal answer will be made to
It. 1t will probably only be IN
swered on the floor of the Senate In
the general discussion upon the
subject treated by the President.
The majority Of the Senate re-
gard the message as entirely uncall-

Z STARTLING THEORY.

Belief in Texas that the Recent Inundation
Was Owing to the Gradual Sinking of the
Coast Line.
A Beaumont, Tex. special to the New
York Times says:
Nothing is talked of here except the
| unprecedented tidal flood around Sabine,
and its extraordinary results. Since the
older residents of this vicinity have gone
| over the ground and discovered what an
| immense stretch of coast country was
submerged they have advanced another
startling theory to account for the de-
struction of Sabine Pass and the remark
able inundation of Johnson's and Tay-
lor's Bayous. Without being able to give
any scientific reason, the old residents
have generally agreed that the Texas and
Louisiana coast about the mouth of the
Sabine river is gradually sinking, and
that it is only a matter Of few decades
when the sea Will claim a large slice from
both of these states A gentleman who
has lived on the coast for fifty years
makes the statement that up to the year
1860 no serious overflow had occurred be-
tween Berwick bay, on the Louisiana
coast, and Galveston bay. There was not
even tradition among the white settlers
of any overflow during this long
period extending back to about the
year 1880, when the Louisiana
coast in that vicinity was first settled. In
1867 the streets of Sabine was submerged
by high tide, for the first time since its
foundation in 1882. Since 1867 there
have been eighteen disastrous overfows,
three of which occurred during the pres
ent year, This extraordinary increase in
aeriel forces and overfows since the year
1860 not only applies to the hundred-mile
strip of coast contiguous to the Sabine's
estuary, but applies with the same mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy to the entire Texas
coast from Sabine to Galveston, thence to
Indianola and Corpus Christi, nearly
down to Brownsville, at which point the
storms since 1860 have been less severe
than during the previous quarter of
century. The old settlers who have COM
piled this data can not account for the
phenomenal increase except Oh the basis
that the entire Texas coast has subsidized
foot or two since 1860.
"The Orange Tribune, deseanting upon
this theory, suggests that the matter
should be made the subject of scientific
investigation, and ought to have thorough
and immediate attention from the general
government. The Tribune calls upon the
people of the First and Seventh Congress
sional Districts of Texas to join with the
districts of West Louisiana, and immedi-
ately apply to the war and navy depart
msnts for a joint corps of engineers and
scientists to establish the exact altitude of
the coasts on each side of the Sabine for
distance of at least fifty miles inland.
Such course, il declares would put at
rest the feelings of anxiety caused by the
now locally widespread belief that the
surface of the earth in this section is
gradually sinking.
