As informs- a tion to our readers we would state th that, in compliance with his request, i0n we telegraphed Gen. King what kinud st of seed was needed most in this par- , n, ish: TI In the House yesterday, Mr. His-, cock, chairman of the Commnittee on to Appropriations, reported back the llouse bill making further appropria. tions for the relief of the sufferers from o, the overflow of the Mississippi river th and its triitlstries. The report of the I I; comnittee rccommends that the House in recede from its amendment authoriz ing the expenditure of a portion of! b the appropriation in the strengthening ti of the levees. After a brief speech le by Mr. Robertson. of Louisiana, in s, opposition to receding from the amend- I ment, the report of the committee was t agreed to. Mr King, of Louiisana, introduced a bill approF.ia;lir .;500.- tl 000 for the relief of the sub'elers from I the overflow of the Mississeippi and its n tributaries. The Hlouee Committee on Agrieui ture have also agreed to report favor- ti ably lo the House Mr. King's bill pro. a viding for an appropriation of $20,000 t0 to enable the Commissioner of Agri- I w culture to purchase seeds for dis tribution among the people of the sub- t merged sections of the Mississippi t valley. lion.

National Proteeti'n fronm so Overflow. nli Will the Federal Government ac knowledge its right and duty to take control of the lhvecs, in connection *with and as a part of the work of ne improving the navigation of the Mtis sissippi river ? is the all-important u,{ question, that overshadows all others, mhe so far as the people of the Mississippi but Valleh are concerned ; because it in- i be tolve thir future weal or woe. t F'artner argument, as to right or str necessity, it appoars to us as useless; lea for arguments have already been used that should convince the most obsti- cot nate opponents of the measure, who u are not influenced by a determination 8at to see the inhabitants of the great val- t lev started out and driven from their C" homes in one of the most fertile re- de. gions on the continent, or who are not. void of all knowledge of putle inter- dlo est and even the inherent principles of humanity. Though they may doubt alt the duty of the government to assume ii the protection of the lands of the sev oral states of the valley from inunda- te tion, they should recognize the fact pab that it would be a saving of money to by the government, if it is to continue to furnish rations to the sufferers frjm su overflow from year to year-and they pr cannot be so inhuman as to protest no the against such sets of benevolence-and the they should know that to refuse to do th this work is to throw away millions of revenue to the government that it up, is capable of producing under a proper u01 system of protection. dif It is a fact, that we folly recognize, th that the doctrine of states rights are stands as an insurmountable obstacle Sti with some in the way of this impor- no tant measure, but they should reerem- d" bee that that principle or doctrine was overthrownr .vitb she Oonufdersuy ,ay what we may, we a!l know that this is so-but even the idea that the cih measure conflicts with the doctrine of ta states rights exists only in the ima,.i- cal nation of the advocates of those rights. bo The Mississippi is a national stream ali -all navigable streams are-and the iit territory its waters overflow is not th bounded by state lines, but extends tp over portions of several states, so bla that no one state can protcct its own th lands from overflow without extend- tiO ing its levees to the soil of a neigh f! boring state or securing the coopers- I tion of such state. Therefore the I levee system is n*s -ally a national ei system, and should be under the con-. t trol of the national government. d. lBut we did not start out to argue this question, which we think has been b aI argued sufficiently. What we need in a now is action-action prompt and t| .- efficient. If congress ever intends to b; take ho'd of this matter and make an C Sappropr'ation sufficient to accomplish I" 0 the work, now is the time do it. There li is no time to be lost. Within the next cl twelve months we will be exposed to tI ii the same dangers with which we are t now overwhelmed, if not worse. The a levees are swept away, and we are without the means to rebuild them, and the longer they remain b. oken - d the less able we will be to do the i - work. ti S This matter has been in the hands r of committees long enough-there has II been enough delays-and we now t urge the friends of the measure to a give it their entire and unodvided at- I tention. Let political questions be made subordinate to this issue. Let * your political friends know that you i r. regard the material interests of your I •- constituents as paramount to political be interests and that you are going to " serve them first and au! the time until I of this issue is disposed of. We are tired of suspense, and we want our congressmen to feel and act the same way. We had rather know that the measure was defeated than ir to have our hopes deferred any longer; " had rather know what oor doom . t, is at once than to be forever dreading rit it or have the delusive hope held out to us from time to time that we are at sofne future tline to Ie_ r(ieved of our nmi. ry, aln that rel;tf ntever drawing a:v nieartr. The ih litnee Question , P'resident Arthur's veto of the ('hi- Y nese bill was nIo dl'ubt in prfectt ,- . .cord with the views of at least a larg.' ,majority of lit' republican Iry anu the advice of the seeretary of state ; br but if it had been hi., express lpurpoc be could hardly have done s·u thiing that would have more effectually it strengthened the democratic party, at g' least in the Pacific states, while it or could not have strengthened the re- 1t publican party anywhere else in the kip Union, for though the people of the at states east of the Rocky mountains sy may not be so bitterly oploed to Chinese iammigration, none of them desire it, while the intelligent labor ing classes everywhere regard it with fox disfavor. And they all recognize the vetoed bill as a demnocratic measure, c although it cou!d not have passed the liouse without the assistance of a few hi republican votes The republican Ti party is responsible for its final defeat af by the exercise of the veto power, anld ki it will have to carry the weight of le such responsibility through the next sh presidential campaign ; and they will ex not fiud it a very light burden when they come to carry it up and down the Pacific slope; for over there it is re a very important matter; is an issue O upon whirh the great bulk of the pop. ulation, of all parties, is a unit. They ti differ on other political issues, but in their dislike of John Chinaman they fa are solid and dnmoved; and hat is It still more it is with them the domi.- t I nant issue, beire which all others 1dwindle into insigrifcaecce. It may be true that the ot)pon it a of thi- bill ht*e,manra nccy on tile side, even in the I aci,ac states, ats cheap labor is to the interest of eapi tal-and money is a powerful politi- , cal lever-but fortunately voting la- fc bor in those states is intelligent and a alive to its own interests, and is not liable to be easily influenced again-st those interests even by ~Ls potent h persuader Therefore, Is reasona- p ble to suppose that *he 'p 'y giving the fairest pronmise of ehet.ing or pIut-. tinie a stop to mongolian immigration b will command the sympathy and sup port of not only the masses of the Pacific stat's but the intelligent, cal culating laboring classes of ill the states of the Union in the next presi dential campaign. The democratic party was weaketed , by its opposition to the Mormon bill a 'in congress, but not as much, we I think, as the republican party has been , by its opposition to and veto of this Chinese bill: because there are fewer I , persons interested in suppressing po a ligamy in Utah than there are in t checking Chinese immigration, which they regard as a greater evil and more e threatening danger. The New Cabinet. S President Arthur has completed his w6rk of replacing the Cabinet of Gar efield with one of his own appointment, the last appointments being Secreta ries of the Navy and Interior, which let the south without a represen Stative in the Cabinet. Ex-Secretary o of the Navy IIunt goes to Russia as SEnvoy Extraordinary. The Cabinet as now constituted is Sas follows: Secretary of State, Frel Singhuysen; Secretary of the Treasury, r Folger; Secretary of War, Lingoln; SSecretary of the Navy, Chandler; o Secretary of the Interior, Teller; i Postmaster-General, Howe; Attorney General, Brewster. Lincoln is the Sonly member of the Garfield Cabinet at remaining, and he was always known i' as a strong Grant man. Of the others, n all are "Stalwarts," for Chandler is' ; undoubtedly a "Stalwart" now, al-l m though he was at one time one of g bislaine's most earnest supporters. at Plant corn, peas and potatoes.
