Favorable Outlook Mt Cairo.

CAIRO, ILL. March l5.-The river has
been on a standstill here since noon.
The guage reads eight feet and two
very cold, temperature 20 deg. The
probabilities are that the river will be
rising slightly by morning. 1t is claimed
this cold weather will tend TO stop the
rise above aud cause the river to again
fall in the next day or so. If the river
does rise here it is not likely to go to fifty
feet at the outside. This is two feet be-
low highest water, and would not affect
the levees here. The situation at Cairo
remains unchanged land reports from the
lowlands are that everything has been
placed in safety from the floods.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March l5.-The
situation here slightly improved to-day
The river stood at sixteen and seven
tenths feet all day. half a foot over the
highest mark known until this year, but
somewhat below Thursday. The COM
had begun the building OF new levee
two feet high at the low points on the
river front betw cen ESplanade and Cont
and damned out the water. 1t was
troublesome only at Gerard street, where
it annoyed the Louisville and Nash

The new levee Will be continued from
daY to-day along the entire front of New
Orleans. The lowest point on it will be
eighteen and q half feet and will allow
of nearly two feet more rise before the
water flows over into the streets.

Reginald BirchaIi, Alleged Murderer of F.

In what bids fair to become celebrated
case, the murder of Frederick C. Ben
we'll by Reginald Birchall, Ia lonely
spot in the forest in the midst OF marsh
crossed only by a little used road, the
gallows is not to be cheated, as the cor
oner's jury at Princeton, Ont. returned
q verdict of guilty on Saturday. There
does not seem to be any doubt in the
minds of the authorities that BirchalI
murdered Benwell on the afternoon of
February II, in dead Man 3 Swamp, -
for the reason that early on the morning
of the above day BiTchall and Benwell
took train which left Buffalo at twenty
eight minutes past six, to look over
Birchall 5 airy, electric-lighted, farm
er's castle in Woodstock. Birchall re-
turned that same evening to the Buffalo
hotel, where his wife and PelleY had
been left, but he returned alone. Burch-
all made his appearance in Woodstock
two yeRrs ago, with two companions,
Dudley and Pickthall, who afterward
disappeared. Subsequently returning TO
England he picked up two new victims,
and induced them to embark in his myth
ical stock farm. He was quick to send
his dupe TO the grave, for no sooner had
he reached Buffalo than he left his wife
and Pelley behind in order TO escort Ben
well to the slaughter ground alone. The
body was soon found by two wood chop
pers and Identification was easy. Arrest
trod on the heels OF suspicion and a
chain of circumstantial evidence too
strong TO be broken was soon riveted
around the prisoner. Though implicated
in the coroner's verdict, it is not proba-

A Double Position.

Isn't it most peculiar to say tho
least, that Captain G. w. Shell is a
member of the regular Democratic
Executive Committee ard also a.
mcmber Of Tillman's Executives
Committee. Captain Shell is there
fore in a double position before the
people of Sonth Carolina. With
the regular committee he arranges
for the meetings of the campaign in
the several counties, &c, and, with
Tillman's Committee, he seeks to
aid the cause of Tillman against all
good Democrats who prefer to sub
nit their chances for preferment to-
the people through the proper chan-i
ncls. Captain Shell should resign
from one or the other committee for
he stands at present before the peo-s
pie of tho State as a man serving
two mastcrs--in other. words, he ist
in q hypocritioal position from which
he had better cxtricato himself as
soon as possible. - CHe,aao Reporter,

The talk about the Ne,os and
Courier being mfricndly to the far
mcrs is without the shadow OF a
foundation. On the contrary, that
paper has done more hard work and
spent moro money in encouraging
farming and all other industrial pur
suit, in South Carolina than any other
paper in the Statc-a great deal more.
1t could certainly do the News and
Courier no good, from any concciva-
Die point of view, to injure the far
mcrs. just now it differs with MANY
farmers on the propricty of the
March nominations, and has the
honesty and the frankncss to say so,
rather than TO sit on the fence or
play the dcmagoguc for the sake of
temporary gain. The Ncacs and
Courier is an honest, clean and able
newspaper-not always right, accord
ing to our notion of things; but
always earnest, cnterprising and con
scicntiously devoted to the best in
tercsts of the Statc.-Nc,obervy o.

TO the Snb-AIliances OF Orangeburg
County.

The necessity is forced upon me
to call your attention to the consti-
tuition of our order. The action of
certain Alliances in this county in
dorsing the March Convention, q
political body, and certain men for
political offices, is plain violation
of the obligation each member took
when he joined the order, to support
the constitution, which requires us
"To labor for the education of the
agricultural classes in the science Of
economical government in :. strictly
bipartisan spirit" Are we ready
to forget our honor and sacrifice our
noble order in our political zeal, act
ing the part of the zealot and parti-
san in violation Of our solemn obli-
cation? Surely, brethren, upon re-
Election, you will call halt. To
persist in this course, can but tcrmi-
nate in the destruction Of all our
hopes, "To develop better state,
mutually, morally, socially and finan-
cially," and "to suppress personal,
local, sectional and national preju-
dices; all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition"
The above is not intended to dis
suade members of our order from
taking part as individuals or as mem.
bers Of Democratic clubs, in politi-
cal affairs, but refers solely to their
action as members of the Alliance.
