MONTREAL, April 1.-THE ice moved
and damned again to-day, and the water
rose very rapidly and prevented mer-
chants from leaving their places of bush
ness. The water has not been SC high
for twenty three years. The pumps at
the water works are stopped as they are
useless tonight. The water is slowly
receding. but fears are entertained Of AN
other food. All points from which a
view of the river can be obtained are
crowded with anxious watchers. The
pier at Dowal has been carried away by
the ice and the bridge is in great danger.

beating his brains out with an ak while
Sea was asleep. Taking from the man
whom he killed SIP. Smith wrapped
the body in blanket and threw it into

secure the assistance of his brother TO
help him commit the crime. Smith was

the various boxes so as TO get them into
the post office at half-past five o'clock in
time to mail and deliver at the depot in
time for the 7 o'clock train. Mr.. Green
requested of the Department the ap-
pointment of special clerk for that pur-
pose, and has received authority to APP
point such special. Claude Luce is the
rusty clerk who has received the ap-
pointment to this service.

MAYOR GR1CFS L1TYST IDEA.

That New-York City ought to have good
deal to say in the Constitutional Convention
about the relation which legislation at Albany
sboud bear to city affairs, will not be disputed
and much good might result from the ex-
preston of opinions by eminent citizens quail
fed By experience and special training to deal
with this subject. But the movement which
Mayor Grace has started in these last days OF Ills
term of Office sets out seriously handicapped.
What good can be expected to come OF an
undertaking of this kind in which william NJ.
WINS is made to bear an important partI Anu
how much additional strength Is derived from
the name of Francis NJ. Scott7 1t ia true that
the proposition to constitute committee OF
the kind the Mayor has in mind is saved from
being made utterly ridiculous by the omission
of aCitizen" Charles p. Miller's name-prob-
ably an unintentional oversight on the part OF
Mr. Grace. Messrs Carter, Peckham, Root
and some of the others deserve public sympathy
because they have been invited to confer with
WINS, Scott and Whitridge.
The worst of it is that the fasco which Mayor
Grace's plan is pretty sure to turn out will tend
seriously to discourage any legitimate move
,nent in this direction which may be set on foot
hereafter. 1t cannot be denied that New-York
and other cities have often suffered from un-
caled-for action In the legislative halls at
Albany. A check npon such legislation may
well be applied, and an effort to that end would
naturally be initiated In the metropolis. But
We doubt if any good thing will come out OF
Tuesdays meeting, which is proposed and will
be directed by Mayor whose official hypocrisy
and cant have now been thoroughly exposed,
and who no longer has the confidence and
respect of philosophical citizens.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-12-26

constant suffering among the least advanced
elements in all our centres OF industry ana
population. Instead Of potterins with statistics
which have no bearing upon the situation; IN
stead of PROFESSIONALLY attempting to dispute
the existence Of state of things which Is being
photographed, week by week, under their
ewes: 1t would DO better for these critics, whose
intentions probably are good enough, TO seek
some practical means of remedying abuses and
evils which cry out against our civilization anu
tend to make our religion mockery.
1t may be that the workin g-women could i've
better on their wretched earnings II they nad
some culinary skill that If they were less ieno-
rant and set" in their ways life generally
would be less rigorous to them; but, as MIS-.
Campbell well observes, that Is not the most
important consideration. In fact, there is only
one theory upon which the condition OF these
women can be regarded as tolerable, and that
is the pagan, materialistic theory that neither
the State nor the individual is responsible for
any one else: that the iron law OF Necessity Is
the sole guide of society: that "wce to the
conquered" is the motto of the century; that
the only virtue consists in success, and the only
vice in failure. If American society is pre-
pared to subscribe to these principles, then Mrs.
Campbels papers are in the air. futile ana
without significance. But if on the other hand
this is Christian nation. believing and striving
to pattern after the doctrines of the Gospel,
then the condition of the hopeless prisoners OF
poverty is q matter which should come home
to every mao and woman in the land, and they
will hold themselves under the most binding
obligation to search out and when found to
apply whatever means can alleviate the suffer-
ings of these helpless sisters. Their industry,
their patience, their perseverance, must COM
mand respect The unreiieved gloom and
misery IF their lives must assure them gym
patty. If we are Christians We must agree
that our scheme of life is a failure to the extent
that any minority Of Americans no matter
what its extent, is reduced to such extremi-
ties. The advent of the Christmas time too
may we'll quicken our sensibilities on this ques-
ton, and heighten the general determination
that the system of white slavery now being
revealed through the columns of The
TRIBUNE shall cease.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-12-26

and It would be considerably less jealous and
watchful IL Southern men we're not conscious,
in their private minds, that ttey did regret
several things.
The North finds no difficulty In saying, with
General Sherman, that 1t heartily regrets every
injury inflicted, every drop of blood shed, that
was not necessary to maintain the Union and
the supremacy of law. With folly as much
reason, some Southern men regret every step
taken, during or since the war, which had for
its motive mistaken sense of duty. 1t is pos
sible to honor the virtues of Lee without being
glad that Union men were starved at Anderson
Vile or In Libby Prison; entirely possible 70
recognize the devotion Of Southern men to
cause they deemed just without closing the
Interior Department in honor OF one who tried
to devastate Northern cities with incendiary
fires and contagious diseases.
The better statement Is that both SIDES
regret, or ought to regret, every error which
led to the war or was committed during its
progress. 1t was not war which differed from
all Others in human history in being holy and
spotless on both sides. 1t had foi its origin
crime, and somebody was to blame for it. As it
advanced, things were done which reflected
no credit on American manhood-and it reflects
no credit on any American to say that he does
not now regret them.
