SENATOR INGALLS, is called a statesman
py his partisans. He may be one: but he
is foul-mouthed BLACKBOARD as well He
opened the campaign in Pennsylvania the
other day in behalf of those apostles of
corruption, Senator QUAY and DELAMArER,
and here is an extract from his speech :;
My fellow ciJizens, have erred in calling
the Democracy party. 1t is an aggrega-
ton Of the Ignorance, the imbecility, and
the disloyalty of this country. L
think the worst Republican that ever lived
is better by far than the best Democrat that
ever lived" There is neither wit nor ar
gument in such denunciation; it is simply
dirty blackguardism, although the man
who uttered the language is Senator and
frequently presides over the upper house
Of Congress.

better than a "fghting chance" III Califor
MIA when leading Republican organ, the
Sacramento Bee, which has been doing
yoeman service for MARKHAM, the party's
gubernatorial candidate, says: 1--WE take
it that this campaign will be very, very
close one, and the odds at the present time
seem to be in favor of PoND." 4 Demo.

Another Mlssissippi Levee Breaks. Sub
merging Many Plantations - A Fierce
Gale Adds to tho lIardshlps OF the In.
hsbitants OF Arkansas City.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, April 6.-News
has reached here Of a bad break in the
levee just above Catfish Point, Miss.
The break occurred at / o'clock Friday
morning, and was q complete surprise,
as the river was falling and the levee
was thought to be safe. The levee was
about fifteen feet high and was con-
structed principally Of sand. Tho
crevasse is nearly 900 feet wide and very
deep. 1t is rapidly widening, and there
is no telling how much wider 1t will
become before the ends can be fastened.
Catfish Point is on big bend in the
river, Mound Landing being about ten
miles below and Bolivar Landing about
the same distance above. The entire
bend Is in cultivation, and the principal
plantations are the Miller, tho Connolly,
the Martin, the Edmunds and the
Ousley places. The break occurred be-
tween the Miller and the Connolly
places. Every plantation is flooded, and
the depth of the water will not fall
short Of twelve to fifteen feet. The
water will back up to Bolivar Landing,
will help to increase the depths there
and will make matters worse below
Mound Landing.
The break is said to be by far
the worst that has yet occurred on
the Mississippi side. A tremendous

The city is filled with elegantly at

so modified by good taste, artistic judg-
ment, and tho discretion that avoids
every thing bizarre, that it is positive
delight to behold fashion in its present
attractive phase. Throughout the past
winter it was predicted that the spring
would put an end to the Directoire and
Empire styles, but they flourish along
with other popular modes, and bid fair
to remain in high vogue for many
months to come.
Round and beltcd waists remain in

New ORLEANS, April s. - A special
from Arkansas City says: Another wind
and rain storm ragged here Thursday
night About o'clock several
strong blasts of wind in rapid
succession severely tested the
strength Of every house in town,
and brought the occupants out of
their beds. For several minutes it
looked as though the town would be
blown away The terrors OF storm in
town covered by water to a depth Of
from eight to twelve feet, can hardly be
imagined The Catholic church, an
elegant little structure, was blown
from it's foundations and consider
ably damaged. The building was
flooded to the depth of eight feet and
al of the furniture and fixtures badly
damaged. A negro church was also
blown from its foundation, but did not
sustain very serious damage. Three or
four residences were treated likewise.
