Gov. LEE DISCUSSES PoLITIcs.-Gov.
Fi.zhugh Lee,iof Virginia, arrived at jack
sonville, Fla, Friday night. the Governor
said that President Cleveland would un-
doub.ly lead the democratic ticket, bat that
the position of the two political parties is so
close that the electoral vote of the State of
New York, thrown upon one side or the
other, would in all probability decide the
contest. He steered clear of the Vice
Presidential question for some time, but
when directly asked if he was not candi-
date for the nomination, he said: eff that
great portion of American poople represent.
ed by about 153 electoral votes OF the POI
ne csssary to select national ticket will de.
mana some representation thereon they will
get it, suppose. But whether it is best to
do it should be leftto the convention. Every
thing should be subordinated 10 victory.
The South has never asked for any place on
the ticket, but has voted solidIy for north
eu men, and will 60 it again if necessary,
but it is time for US to receive some recogni-
tion." The Governor has given up his Gu
ban trip, and will remain in Florida for
fortnight OF so.-lNe,O York World.

The Missouri River,

YANKToN, Dak., Mar. 2G.-The great rise
in the Missouri river has not reached heie
yet, but is hourly expected. The river ia
clear Of ice, a gorge having formed Fifty
miles north. Six inches of snow fell yes:er'
day, and the weather continues cold. This
will hold the ice gorges till the rush Of wa
ter from the north reaches them, ard set
tlers along tho river from Bismarck to Sioux
City, are watching the situation auxiously
and will move at the FIRST indication of an
overflow The situation on the upper river
ia identical with the spring of 1881, when
the Missouri river ovesfowed its banks for
miles, destroying life and property of great
value.
Sioux CITY, Mar. 26-The situation on
the river here is practically unchanged. The
weather again turned cold Saturday night
and three inches of snow has fallen since.
The gorge opposite the city has been aug
mented The gorges five miles above aud
opposite the month of the Sioux river, as
we'll as the one ten miles above, opposite
Jackson. Neb., still hold. This make the
situation serious, because food is pouring
down the river still further up. represent
conditions are almost identical with those
preceding the great fl ,od of1SS1. The snow
lies deep all along the Missouri Valley and
on the prairies draining into it. There is g
serie, of gorges in the river from here to
rs or 100 miles above here, while the upper
Missouri and it's continents have broken up
and floods must ensue. A great amount
of property Is exposed here, and there is in
tense anxiety, not only at this point, but
throughout the loRlands along the river.

Wise-MahOne.
From the Petersburg IndexAppeal.]
March 18th, 1888.


Capt. John Wise:
Ny Dear Sir: have lead with much IN
terest your proposed plan OF organization
for our party in the Dispatch OF yesterday.
II ia an admirable plan for the white coun-
ties, but if it is adopted will turn US IN Inc
black counties oyer bag and baggage to the
worst set of cut-throats that ever disgracsd
q noltical party. We have in this county
about five hundred white republicans VINO
do not attend precinct meetings, and sboht
ffteen hundred black ones @ho do. + The re
snlt is that no decent man can bs elected
from any such meating. The negroes take
charge and almost invariably elect the most
noisy one thew can fad to the position they
ara called together to Gil. Our last county
convention was composed entirely of negroes
the only white man in it being -
who called the convention to order by means
of his having been county chairman. Uh'
dar cour Dlan even that much Will ba de-
nied us. and wewiil again have negro county
chairmep.
Wien YOU place negroes in official posi-
tions in the party, you only increase their
value to the democratic politicians VINO puy
them whenever we have q contest Tor town
md county officers The unpurchasable
negroes are like the whites. and VIII not at
tend the noisy and disgusting precinct meet,
inps 20 that as I said before the venal ana
coIrnpt are the ones who are placed IN posi-
tons ofauthority.
NV own opinion is that those who object
IN the present plan of Organization only use
il ee a pretext. If your plan ia adopted they
will soon find something else to kick abon''
their primary object baing to make Gen. Ma
hone step down and out. When that &C
curs, the party will soon BIS in comato5e
state. as it was for years previous to 1879
Very truly yours,

To MOST men of ordinary intelligence, who

SENATOR INGALLS, having been inspired
with little more resolution by some praise
from ultra bloody.shirt sources, reiterates
his recent South-hating expressions, and
supplements them by saying;

pictures OF rebel generals in uniform, with
Nc: a single Union commander 10 keep them

WHEN A bill in relation 10 the use OF the
bodies of dead paurers for dissection pur
poses in the medical colleges OF Washington
was before Congress recently. a good deal of
opposition was manifested by some OF the
prominent domagogues in that body. In view
of the history Of these objeotors, however,
nothing is risk ed in the statement thatnot one
of them would hesitatelto vote for vivisec-
ton if by so doing he could facilitate the
successful removal of bullet from, or the
ligature of an artery in, his own body.
There was The came sort Of opposition to
similar bill in thu Virginia legislature some
years ago, ore of The Directors going 80 far
as to say that medical students could obtain
all the anatomical knowledge they required
by an inspection of wax preparations!

SENATOR ELECr BARBOUR, in recent 10
leryiew as published in New York paper,
said As far as the tariff is concerned, our
people were in favor of repeating the inter,
nal revenue tax on tobacco. The Mills bill
does that to such al exten; that it is satisfac'
tory to them In this Mr.. Barbour is Ger
,ainly right, 80 far at least as most of the PEG
p,e of his State who are democratic from prln-
ciple, are concerned. The bill doesn't go TO
the extent of tho reform demanded bY all
such people, bu, as it is in the right direc'
ton, and goes as far as possible in such q
Congress as the present one, it is satisiaoto
ry them. When there are fewer Randallites
and more democrats in Congress more
satisfactory bill can be presaed-one by which
all raw materials and the necessities of life
will be put on the free list!

NOTWITHSTANDING the tariff the imports
last month greatly exceeded the exports.
This fact, however, does not show, as some
say, that This country is falling behind. On
the contrary, as the importe, after reaching
here, are sold at profit, it shows that
Americans were the recipients of that profit.
But as this is the great agricultural
country of the world, and as its chief pro-
ducts are bread and meat, which the people
CT all nations must eat to live, there would
never be an excess o.imports over exports
if the latter were not hindered by the tariff,
which compels foreign orders to be paid in
gold instead of by an exchange Of foreign
products, and provokes retaIiatory restrict.
