PROTECTION AGAINST. FLOOD.

n city OF East St. Louis, ILL.,, situated near the junction of the
missouri an Mississippi Rivers, has been for many years a regular
III from the flood stages in those rivers. East St Louis is q
growing and prosperous suburb of ST. Louis. Ii is occurred largely
by working men. Important railroad shops and terminals are located
mere over a river frontage of over fifteen miles. and extending
oaeK TO higher bluffs, the floods have for wears had their way. The
hoods shall cease and they have gone about protection against floods
IN a business Ike manner. The East St Louis sanitary district has
oeen incorporated by the legislature of Illinois. This district is en-
powered to elect its commissioners. bond itself. and TO imrose taxes
for the payment of the bonds.
Armed with this authority the people Of East St Louis have is
sueu SooVOOUO worth OF bonds, and with the proceeds therefrom
nav undertaken the building of a levee over fifteen miles LONG and
assigned TO hold back the river at all points. Portions of this leyee
are composed OF earth thrown up from the banks. Other portions
VIII be composed of concrete. At several points the leyec will he
over twenty-five feet high. At other points it is IS low as fifteen
rect varying with the elevation of the ground. The rivers front cro.
teeted by this levee is pierced at a number of points by streams such
as Wheeling creek. and the difficulties arising from these are met and
effectively overcome.
AT an early date the lntelHgencer hopes to give a con7Ie.e ,c

President and Lincoln for vivePres,-
dent.
The warm and confidential rela.
lions which had been long maintained
between Mr.. Briggs and Governor
Chase were continued all the time that
vi. Chase was a member of President
treasury.
AT one time Governor Chase said
10 Mr.. Briggs that IL had always been
a source of sorrow TO him that ne
n President Lincoln did not seem
10 get along very well together. He
went so far as to say hat the sec.
Rotary OF state. William II. Seward,
had oecome very chummy with Presi-
dent Lincoln and for a long time he,
Chase. could not understand this. AT
last he made up his mind that IL
was chiefly dut to the fact that
Seward lived across Pennsylvania
avenue from the White House and
Tor that reason could conveniently
run In and chat with the President
which Seward was able 10 do.
Then Chase. after musing a mo-
ment. said hat IL a plan which he
had warmly advocated when he was
a member of h Senate, between 1S49
and 1855. had been accepted by Con
gress. Seward would have had no ad-
vantage over him 50 far "a neighbor-
ly relations were concerned.
Mr.. Chase told Mr.. Briggs that
when senator he had urged Congress
10 appropriate money for the pur-
chase OF houses which could be used
in a neighborly and friendly way.
whereas he. Chase. had taken a
for the homes OF members of the
cabinet. while they were in office and
that II was his plan to have these
houses so selected that they would
be within a few minutes walk OF the
White House. Congress, however.
would not listen to the proposition.
II Congress had listened. Secretary
Chase said hat he would have been
able to occupy a house as near to
the White House as was the one that
o o so hat he. too. would
have been upon neighborly terms with
