Death OF General WaIthaII.

Edward Cary Walthall, United
States Senator for Mississippi,
died in Washington City on Thurs
day, April p, aged 68 years. 1t
is not too much to say that the
death Of General WaIthall removes
the most prominent Mississlppian.
His life was a singularly pure and
honorable one, and in every rela-
ton, both public and private, it
justified to the full the honor and
veneration in which he was held by
all classes of people in this State,
irrespective of political sympa-
thies. In fact, the long public ca
reer of General Walthall, untaint-
ed by a breath of calumny. and in
which he kept himself far above
the political mire 10 which so many
nave gone down, is proof Of his
exceptionally high character and
personal excellence
He was Virginian, but his life
was passed principally in the state
of his adoption, and from which
he was sent to the Senate in 1885,
from which time he served contin-
uously until his death. In every
relation the life of General Wal
thall was admirable. As a soldier
of the Confederacy his career was
one of brilliant achievements. As
a lawyer and citizen he won the
highest place among the leaders Of
Mississippi, and as United States
Senator he reflected honor and dis
tinction upon the people he repre-
sented. His place will indeed be
hard to fill. Such men are rare.
and it must be the care Of Missis-
sippians that the mantle he wore
with so much honor must fall upon
no unworthy shoulders.

The RIVER

On Friday the first fall occurred
in the river at Greenyille, the
water having come to II stand ON
the day before, This is quicl,
work, and the probabilities are
that the declinewill be uncommon
| ly rapid unless checked by II
rise in the upper rivers, 1t Is yet
too early to feicitate ourselves
upon escape, but it now appears
probable that there will be no
overflow, even although the stage
of water has been the highest ever
held by leyees, During the first
part of the high water fight the
danger centre was Stop Landing,
in Bolivar county, and at one time
it was believed that it would be
impossible to hold the leyee ut
that point. An enormous amount
of money, labor and material was
spent upon it, and the leyee was
finally rendered so secure that for
seyerui weeks no particular I'M
easiness has attached to that place.
The danger then shifted to the
Deerfeld break and the leyee
South of Greenville to Shipland,
When the river came to stand at
Greenville the condition of this
leyee was very bad, and it requir-
ed unremitting day and night
labor to prevent a catastrophe.
The fall IN the river, like the turn
in the tide of battle, inspired the
workers with new hope and urged
them to greater effort, with the
result that a feeling of compare
tive security has given place to
the almost hopeless fears of the
earlier part of the week.
SO imminent was the danger at
one time that planters in the neigh
borhood sent their stock to places
of safety and resigned themselves
to the inevitable. A break between
Deerfeld and Shipland would have
been very disastrous, overfowlng
a great area of the best and most
thickly settled land in the county,
and ste 'ing trains on the main
and branch lines of the Y &, NJ
V, railway.

Making 10 comparison between
the days of yore, when Zone blast

ton presents itself to the mind
that the man named will have to
be endowed with remarkable quail
fcstions, and the reasons given for
his support most potent, in order
to convince the people of this dis
trict, at this time, that their IN
terests will be subseryed by retir-
ing General Catchings from Con-

foot higher than was ever

fore-a feeling Of perfect security
as to the line north Of Greenville,
solely due to the fact that approx
imstelv half a million dollars Of
government money has been eZ-
pended upon it since the last high
water, when, with the river at its
present stage alarm and apprehen-
siol 40 TO It's maintenance was uni
versal-with the knowledge that
this expenditure is the result of
the brains and ability of our pres
ent congressman-that a similar
expenditure, to be had only from
the same source, can alone give
similar security to our line from
Greenville down-coupled with
the realization that an overflow at
this time would mean more of loss
aud poverty to the people Of this
district than even az 30 itartnnate
of the war with Spain,
traught with dire disaster as such
a result might be-with all these
facts obtruding themselves upon
the notice of the most obtuse, it
would seem that the idea would
occur to any neophyte in politics
that the time is not opportune for
the Clan to 60 out after the scalp
of General Catchings.

Since the above statement was
made the amount of cotton received
by Greenville has been increased to
$4,000 bales, giving this city more
than fifty per cent of all the cot
ton raised in the five counties
composing the district.
There is no reason why Green
vile should not receive it all. The
excellence. of this place as market
is generally recognized, and its
popularity has increased with
wonderful rapidly. Not only the
Yazoo- Mississippi Levee District,
but the counties to the east, and
the plantations along the Arkansas
side of the river are looking more
and more every year to Greehville |
as the most convenient and adj
Vantageous point for disposirg of |

should, and probably will, see
Greenville the leading cotton mart

The Michigan Central Railroad Co.
is not compelled to sell 1,000-mile fam
ily tickets for $50 in accordance with the
law of 1891. In unanimous opinion
of the supreme court, written by jus
tice Hooker. Gov. Pingree is defeated
in his efforts to compel the Michigan
Central by mandamus TO issue such
tickets. Briefly the court holds that
the Michigan Central Co. has the right
to fix its own tolls under its special
charter. and that to hold the act of
1891 applicable to it would be to inn
pair the obligation of the contract
made by the state to reimburse the
company for any damage which it
might sustain. The court also holds
that the Michigan Central Co. has not
forfeited its charter by effecting con-
solicitations with other systems.
