WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Mr. Seney, Of
Ohio, to-day introduced a bill in the house
to amend the revised statutes relating to
letter carriers, so as to authorize the EN-
ployment of one letter carrier in each town
where the great postal revenues are more
than $1,000 and less than $40. 900 per
annum. Where the receipts exceed Sl0,-
600, the postml ster general shall desig-
nate the number of carriers to be EN-
ployed. A bill was introduced by Mr..
Ermentrout, Of Pennsylvania, reducing
the penal sum bond required from persons
engaged in the manufacture of cigars,
also of the collector Of internal revenue to
be fixed at not less than 800, with not
less than $40 for each person proposed to
be employed by a manufacturer. Mr..
Reagan proposed a constitutional amend
ment striking out constitutional prohibi-
ton against direct taxation, and providing
that direct taxes, when levied by the
United States, shall be apportioned be-
tween the states on a basis value of prop
erty, and states shall have the right to
collect the same by their own officers
and from subjects Of taxation pro-
vided by their own laws. Mr..
Scott, of Pennsylvania, introduced
a bill to regulate the coinage OF
standard silver dollars. 1t repeats that
part of the act of Feb. rs, 1873, which
authorized the secretary of the treasury
to purchase not less than 81, 1000, 0n0
worth of silver bullion per month and

amount to $40, 600, 600 the secretary OF
the treasury shall set that sum aside in u
specific fund to be known as the silver
coinage adjustment funds. If by pay.
ments Of lawful demands made upon said
fund the amount thereof should at the
end Of any month be below that sum, the
secretary is authorized aud directed to
issue sufficient standard silver dollars to
bring the amount up TO $40, O0O, 900 and
! to coin as many standard silver dollars il

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 6.-The food in
the Susquehanna reached Columbia this
morning. and the rise is higher than for
twenty years. The water is up to the
back of the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad and the Pennsylvania and Tide
water canal and the river are one body of
water. Fred Keller. a younA man living
in Columbia, fell into the river this morn
ing and was drowned.
MAucH CHUNK, Pa, Jan. 6.-The
Lehigh river and creek that passes
through the town were even, and every
cellar on Broadway was half full Of water.
The water in the Lehigh Valley building
was four feet deep. Long before this the
dam OF Stroh's foundry gave way, and a
raging torrent rushed through the streets.
Merchants on Broadway were busy from
to 5 a. M, carrying their goods from
easements to upper floors. Matters were
made worse in several parts of the town
by the walls of the creek giving way. In
many cases not only we're the cellars filled
with water but the contents of the rooms
on the first floor we're floating about.
Trains are still running.
LOCK HAVEN, Pa, Jan 6.-The food
has subsidized to the eight foot mark and
travel was resumed on the railroads to-
day. The damage to the Pennsylvania
canal is extensive.
PoRT DEPOSIT, Md, Jau. 6.-The
Susquehanna is higher to night that 1t
has been since the great flood of 1865.
All the cellars, and Easements in the
lower sections of Port Deposit are filed
with several feet OF water. Early
this morning the occupants could be
seen moving their provisions, etc., to
upper floors. All the wharyes in the
town are submerged to night. Lumber
yards are also partially submerged, and
the proprietors have found it necessary to
surround their yards with booms. The
water is within a few inches ofcovering the
tracks of the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad. The river At Columbia. Pa. is
nearly ten feet above low water mark.
Dispatches from up the river TO night are
to the effect that the west branch is slowly
rising while the north branch is receding
slowly. The prevailing cold weather to
night will materially affect numerous
tributaries of the Susquehanna, and it is
thought that the water has attained its
maximum.

cept on a specific agreement of their re
payment in gold coin. On the conclusion
of Senator McPherson's remarks, Senator
Brown gave notice that to morrow he
would ask to be heard on the resolution
Of Mr.. Beck.
Senator Hosr called attention to the
anomalous condition of business in the
senate. there beng several important bills
already reported from committees, which
bills were being delayed by a silver debate
which would have to be reported when
the finance committees should come to re-
port a bill dealing with coinage.
On motion of Mr.. Edmunds the senate
then took up the Utah bill. the pending
question being on Senator Hoar's motion
to strike out the section that would dis
franchise the women of Utah. Senator
Brown expressed himself opposed to
women suffrage. and said if the question
was in his " state he woull
vote against it. Apart from the feature
of polygamy, Senator Edmunds did
not think the belief Of the Mormons
greatly differed from the belief of other
sects. Senator Teller thought the Nor
mons had very little property except their
temple. Senator Edmunds had been in
formed they had. Mr.. Teller said the
temple was one of the most wonderful
buildings in the world and had cost a
great deal, but these trustees would have
to deal with Mormonism in every way.
He did not believe in polvgamy. but he
would say hat if we had sent the right
men to look after Utah, polygamy would
have been deal long since. We had sent
men there who irritated and prosecuted
the people of Utah. and it was by our
prosecutions we had kept ~polygamy alive.
Religious enthusiasm had done much
for civilization, but we could not
forget that two thirds of the people
of the world to-day believed in polygamy
Great Britain had never put its hand on
~polygamists within its dominions. The
Mormons had their faults, but he had
seen Salt Lake City when not a grogshop,
gambling den or house of prostitution
could be found within its limits. 1t could
not be expected hat men who had mar
ried wives thirty years ago would put
them aside now as so many prostitutes,
and declare their children bastards. TIE
bill under consideration Mr.. Teller looked
on as faulty. 1t was too severe. We
should treat the great evil existing in
Utah rather with v%elvety hands. Men
who did not believe in polygamy. he said,
had by the severity of our government
been driven into the condition of opposi-
ton to the policy of the people of the
United States. Mr.. Edmunds denied
there was anything oppressive in the bill.
1t was simply an attempt to cut of the
one man power existing among the people
of Utah. He would not discuss the
crimes committed. whether at Nauvoo or
in Utah, but Mormonism could not be
successfully dealt with a 'velvety hand
as referred to by Mr.. Teller. 1t was a
shame, a delusion and a pretense to cover
the crime. After further argument of the
provisions in relation to the testimony of
husband and wife, the debate vent over
until tomorrow, Mr.. Edmunds saying he
would ask the senate to sit it out" and
bring the bill to a vote.

the Courier-Journal: The day after cleo

structions to report the situation in
Louisiana with every possible fullnesf
and dispatch. I found on arriving there
that the Democrats had carried the State

not less thar 5000, and that the Republi-
can managers were holding back the Off
cial returns with the obvious purpose OF
counting in the Hayes electors. Dur
ing my stay in New Orleans quite q

to do what they offered to do
