THE NEW COUNCIL.

The now Council started off sensibly
last night by re-electing President
Buckner by decided majority. There
was no disposition to draw party lines;
no attempt to hold a caucus, and the
members from the Third ward made
themselves felt by casting solid vote.
They held tho balance of power and
could have elected Mr.. Dupuy had they
so chosen.
President Buckner owes his high rep.
utation in Roanoke to the marked bust
ness ability he has shown in all his un.
dertakings as we'll as to his exact in.
tegrity. 1t goes without question that
he regards the City Council as bust
ness body and will organize its COM
mittees on that basis. His remarks on
taking for the second time the chair of
the president were timely and import
ant. Ii this Council does it's duty, as
President Buckner stated, it will turn
the city over to its successors in as
sound financial condition as it re-
ceives it.
The finances Of the city were never
in better shape. The general fund bal
ances in the hands of the city treasurer,
derived from taxes, amounts to $751;
S71.62; and the bond balances are Sa4O,-
G25.76. No city in the South can make
4 better showing and few, if any, can
equal it.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.
Tho Amite River Rising In AN Alarming
Manner.


NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-TSpecial]-
The officers Of the steamer Alice, which
reached the city last night, report that
the entire couAtry along the Amite
river. between Lake Maurepas and
Port Vincent, is under water; that in
consequence of the freshet the Amite
river has risen seven feet and the coun-
try from the mouth to the port of Vim
water from three to Ave feet deep.
Business has been wholly suspended,
mills have been stopped. and many ia ~
lilies are leaving their homes for the
hills. Crops are almost wholly de-
stroyed, and there has been q very
heavy loss in the growing farm pro.
ducts, but most of the cattle and horses
were saved from the overflow and driven
to dry land.
The principal trouble arises from the
Sarpy crevasse, which has widened 1875
feet since last Wednesday. 100 feet going
at one time few days ago. The Belmont
crevasse has also widened to 1900 feet,
so that vast volume of water is now
pouring over the country. The water
at Sarpy has risen six inches, and unless
the river soon falls it is more than
likely that the Illinois Central will find
that its openings are inadequate to carry
off the main portion of the flood. Lake
Ponchartrain will also have more than
it can conveniently discharge without
the aid of west wind, so there is every
danger that it will flood tho country
back of New Orleans.

Third party in the West in the coming

in alternating the silver and granger
States from their former party allilia-

Atpresent it seems that the Republi-

Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming

position to cut loose and go it alone

unions, that their boat would never
reach the haven save through their
own propulsion.
The Northern Democrats and Repub-
licans are in such intimate relationship
on the question of finance that it will
require positive genius and all the
available efforts in combination Of the
labor unions of the great Northwest,
West and South to wrest from these
GOLD bugs the nefarious lease of power
by which they have enchanted the
people, and if not wrested from them

The Democratic par y, whose cardl

own, are impOtent to aid the wage
earners in their struggles from their
present unhappy environments from
the fact as aforestated of the unhOly
wedl0ck of Northern cOnspirators,
hence there are but two horns OF the
dilemma for the labor unions-tO lose

Again, the Democratic party should
not let its imagination run riot with it's
judgment by trembling at the huge op,

would be the browning glory OF the

from no practical standpoint can the

North Carolina, from her peculiar
situation, cannot at present bear any
strain upon her political condition, or
admit of any divided sentiment be-

16-YEAR-OLD BOY WRITES
FROM PAMLICO.

Mr.. EDITOR Please allow me space
in your columns for a few words from
Triumph Alliance, No. 1,O76. We have
a large membership at this lodge. We
have some few luke-warm members
but not many. We are fighting the
same old fight. Times are getting
pretty warm along now about politics
in this section, but the Alliancemen
are sticking right up for their rights
and are going to have them on some
terms. l am Is years old and as true
grit Alliance boy as ever lived. We
have right full meetings and are doing
a heap of good in the county. Brethren,
read and learn and keep yourselves
posted and let's have the day some as
well as the money lords. Brethren,
you don't want your children to be
slaves under these money lords, and if
the times are not changed they will
have to be and you too. When we
work hard all the year and make a
large pile of corn and we can't keep
enough of it for bread a great many
years. We don't want anything but
rights, and we must have them.
Much success to THE PROGRESSIVE

Mr.. EDITOR:-We deem it right and
just TO DR.. Culbreth that we should in
form the brotherhood through The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, the official organ
of the Alliance, of Bro. Culbreth's pO-
sitiOn and work in Arson. 1t is no
new thing for the officers of this great
reform movement to be misrepresented.
We are certain that the item published
in the W~adesbOrO Messenger and
copied by other papers will not have
the least tendency to weaken the con-
fidence of the brotherhood in DIR. Gull
breth. He spoke at four places in the
county and at every place he strongly
advocated the principles of the ALI
anCe. We are satisfied that DR.. Cul-
breth fully realizes his duty tU the
brotherhood, with whom and for
whom he is working, and the fact that
he does not mention the Third party
(Which is out of his province as an AL
lance lecturer to advocate any partly
is no proof that he repudiates it. DR..
C.'s text at every poin5 where he spoke
was equal rights to all ana special
privileges to none" He clearly showed
that the Alliance was here from neces-
sity, that the causes which brought it
about are real and not imaginary and
that it's aims are high and it's purposes
noble. He also stated that it was in
politics and was there to stay until we
obtained proper redress from the evils
of unjust legislation whichissO Oppres-
sive to the laboring people.
