The Atchafaiaya Problem.

"A mass meeting was held al Troy
Vile on tho 81 inst, for the purpose Of
embodying the views of the people
mostly interested in the Atchafalaya
problem into instructions to their rep
resentatives in Congress upon the ques.
ton. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, Some s25O,O0O have been
appropriated by the Congress of the
United States for the Improvement Of
the mouth of Red River, aud,
Whereas, Certain eminent river
engineers advocate the closing of the
Atchafaiaya and improving the mouth
OF Red River, in order to admit of a
free and unobstructed flow of the
waters Of the Red and Ouach;ta val
leys into the Mississippi river. through
what is known as Old river, therefore
be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens OF
the Ouachiia valley and living upon
the banks Of rivers which are subject
to the annual overflow of our country,
assembled in body at TroyvilIe, on
the second day Of July, 1886, do, with
one voice earnestly oppose the closing
Of the Atchafaiaya; but instead, we
sanction the closing of the portion OF
Red River known as Old river, fully
believing that such course would
defect the waters from the Ouachi.a
and Red river valleys.
And, whereas, by closing the Atchaf-
alaya, the annual high water which
passes down the channel of the Missis-
sippi river would, al all times, cause
to be backed up the waters of Red
river, and would leave no outlet for
the waters of our section of the coun.
try ; and that such course would result
in devastation Of thousands Of dollars
worth of property, and would hiring
misery and poverty upon our people,
be it further
Resolved, That we earnestly re-
quest our representatives. in Congress
and our representatives in the Legisla-
ture to at once protest against the
closing of the Atchafalaya, and to
advocate the closing of what is known
the only remedy we will ever have 10
flows in the future.
Be it further Resolved, That we
sanction and approve OF the course Of
the citizens nj their meeting held at
Winnsboro, Franklin parish on the
10th day of June, 1856, in regard to tho
building OF a levee from Ashton, La,
to the Bayou Macon Hills, fully be-
lieving that it will I've OF a vast benc-
fit to the people OF the Bayou Macon
and Tonsas Basin.
BE it further Resolved, That we
deem it necessary and earnestly re-
quest our Senators and Representatives
to advocate an appropriation suffi-
cient TO build levee from tho Ashton
Break, on the Mississippi, to the
Bayou Macon Hills, for the protection
Of the Tensas and Ouachita basins.
Resolved, That the papers of this
section of the country, contiguous to
the Red and Ouachita valleys be re-
quested TO publish these proceedings.

Ablaxe with Official Indignation.

1.unauic OF the Land office ali
Ablaxe with Official Indignation.
Washington, June .lS-Commissioner
Sparke, Of the general land Office, to-day
had his attention called to the speech of
Mr.. Laird, of Nebraska, in which the
latter said that ''the land commissioner
is running a vendetta against the best
interests of oil the territory beyond the
Missouri river aud that che is backed
by q band of hireling spiss, and is trying
to ~unsettle the land titles of half the
continent, and that Commissioner Sparks
has in his brief career robbed $4,000
settlers, generally heads of families,
representing a population OF over two
hundred and fifty thousand people, of
their vested rights in and to 13. 320,160
acres OF land which they have taken
from the public domain IL compliance
with the public land laws the United
States,''
Mr.. Sparks said: 81 have stood a vast
amount of this sort of talk, and a large
part of it comes from men like Repre-
sentative Laird, who, | am told, is one of
the very men who are trying to defraud
the government by false entries, 1t
aeems very strange to me that people
are so Glow to understand the truth of
this matter. The facts upon which my
course has been based have not been
derived from spies, that [ have sent out,
although the agents of the land office
continue to substantiate what has been
said under a republican administration of
this office. ! will make a few brief quota
tions from the reports of the republican
agents made before Cleveland was cleo
ted president. Agent Greene wrote
under date OF November sc, 1884, the day
before the election: .As to the proper.
tion of land entered under the timber
culture not that Is not improved as re-
CURED by that act, I gave it as my
opinion that in Kansas, Nebraska and
Dakota the proportion 10 10 per cent to
forty per sent of bonafide and possibly
successful cultivation. Special Agent
Webster Eaton wrote from Duluth,
Mimi, ak days before the election OF
1884: "There have been over 1900 final
entries made, to say nothing about cash
entries and entries at public sale, and /
know that there are less than one hun
dred actual settlers living upon any OF
these lands in this land district"
Thomas W. Jaycox, special agent at
Aberdeen, OAK, wrote nine days before
the election: I'm my opinion not more
thar thirty per cent of the land in this
district, entered under the provisions
of the presumption and homestead laws,
is occupied by actual settlers. These
are only a few of the reports that were
made by republicans to a republican. If
they are only partially correct vigorous
measures we're needed to correct these
evils. It does not not seem probable
to me that all these agents are mistaken
or fslsifers. 1t was expected that the
people who are trying to obtain the
public domain by fraud would complain
at any attempt to correct them. Thai
is all the explanation that is needed O
such attacks On that of Representative

The South During the War.

1t will be surmised that the south was
almost stripped of the Injuries of life to-
ward the close OF the struggle, This is o
mistake, Adventures were all the time
running the blockade. There was nothing
that cur society ladies could not buy If
they were willing to pay the price. We
had no dudes in those days, but young
men who wanted a stylish rig had no
trouble in getting it. No doubt many of
the articles %sInuggled through came from
Yankeedom instead of from England and
France. Some of the wide-awake brethren
on the other side Of the line operated a
double schedule. They took federal con-
tracts, and on the sly supplied the Confed-
crates for a heavy cash consideration. We
even had the time and inclination to SNUG
gle books through the lines. Les Miser-
ables, for instance, came through and
Vice President Stephens and other leading
men read the New York or Philadelphia
edition long before the Richmond publish
ers issued it in five little brown paper COW
cred volumes. If literature could run the
blockade, it goes without saying that any
thing could.-AtIanta Constitution,

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Sir Charles Dixie Practically Ruined.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-Although Sir Charles
escaped under the technical plea that Mrs.
Crawford's unsworn confession was INSULT
cient evidence, the whole tenor of the trial
has produced a profound and universal con-
viction of Dilke's guilt. Justice Butts, in
summing up, described the respond
ent's statements as clear, distinct,
and substantial, and said they
compelled him to Conclude that the
adultery charged was actually committed.
If the woman had been put on the witness
box and had given the same testimony, there
would have been evidence against Dixie
Dilke's position was further damaged by
his refraining from giving testimony. The
attorney generals defense-"were we to put
Dixie on the witnes-box, his cross
examination would be ON indiscretions
in life from which no man is free"
was taken as a frank admission that
Dixie was unable to give an explanation
The trial has caused a painful impression
throughout the country in reeard to the
state of society morals.
r. The concensus of opinion is that the filthy
revelations made in the trial and the failure
to attempt either to deny or disprove the
charges against him have practically ruined
