MOVE FOR RELIEF.
Executive and Legislative Act II
Behalf Of Flood Sufferers.
IN BEHALF OF FLOOD SUFFERERS.

The President sent to the Senate on We'd
nesday, April Z. message appealing for relief
for the food sufferers. In it he said: IN
formation which has recently come to me from
the Governors OF Arkansas Mississippi, and
Louisiana, and from prominent citizens OF
these States and Tennessee. warrants the con-
clusion that widespread distress, involving the
destruction of large amount Of property and
loss of human life, has resulted from the floods
which have submerged that section OF the
country. These are stated. on reliable author
ity, to be the most destructive floods that have
ever devastated the Mississippi Valley, the
water being much higher than the highest
stage it has reached before"
The President reviewed the reported extent
of the damage, and continued: Under such
circumstances the citizens of these States look
for the cooperation aud support Of the Ma
tional Government in relieving the pressing
cases of destitution for food, clothing, and
shelter, which are beyond the reach Of local
efforts. The authorities who have commui.
Gated with the Executive recognize that their
first and most energetic duty is to provide as
far as possible the means of caring for their
own citizens, but nearly all of them agree in
the opinion that, after their resources have
been exhausted, q sum aggregating at least
$4,000, and possibly 5000, 900, will be required
for Immediate use.
Under these conditions, and having exerted
themselves to the fullest extent, the local au-
thorities have reluctantly confessed their ina
biiity to further cope with this distressing
situation unaided by relief from the Govern
ment It has, therefore. seemed to me that
tho representatives Of the people should be
promptly informed OF the nature and extent OF
the suffering and needs Of these stricken peo-
ple, and / have communicated these facts in
the hope and belief that the legislative branch
of the Government will promptly reinforce the
work of the local authorities in the States
named"
HOUSE APPRoPRIArEs.
In the House, Mr.. Catchings Miss, d.
brought forward a joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of War to distribute rstions
among the sufferers. 1t appropriated 100000
for the purpose and authorized the Secretary
to employ the Government steamers aud other
boats on the Mississippi in transporting and
distributing the supplies, and also such other
means as he might deem necessary for the
purpose of distributing supplies contributed by
the Government or individuals.
Mr. Catchings spoke briefly on the subject.
The Presidents message was presented and
other business was suspended while it was
read to the House. The message was listened
to with interest
Mr.. Walker said that Mr. Catchings should
present some reason why the States affected by
the foods should not bear the expense of caring
for their own people, to which Mr.. Catchings
replied that there was n o authority under their
Constitutions for the Legislatures to disburse
money for such purposes. Moreover, the
