The rains this year have been equally distributed, and grain of all kinds is heavy. This cannot be said of the Red River Valley, 200 miles east, where the ground is perfectly level, as there has been too much moisture, and thousands of acres of wheat have been drowned out.

CINCINNATI, August 1.—Shortly before noon to-day the Licking River at its mouth opposite this city began to assume alarming proportions. The rise from above came out into the low water of the Ohio with such vehemence as to cause much damage; It was impossible to keep the barges tied along the shore from the angry flood. Every- thing was swept from Swift’s Landing, in- cluding ten barges of coal, ten of coke, one of stone and one empty barge. Dana’s coal fleet suffered the loss of ten barges, four of which struek the pier of the railroad bridge and sunk. Gatchell lost a boat-house.§ Chas. Opinks lost a boat load of cinders and two barges of stone. C. Brosomer lost one empty barge and one float. The hull of the old steamboat Champion No. 6 was torn from her moorings and sunk. The boating house of Chas. Farber and a number of skiffs were carried down the river, also the pleasure boat May Bee. Coal boats from Blick’s and from iteman’s landings were also carried down. Linsey’s saw-mill lost a large number of logs. The total loss is roughly estimated at $50,000. The river has risen over twenty-five feet since last night and is still running out with great fury. VERY WET WEATHER. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 1.—The rainfall as shown by the records of the Signal Service of this city for the months of Juneand July is in marked contrast with that for the same period of last year. During the two months ending yester- day 9.61 inches fell, and there was rain on thirty-six out of sixty-one days. During the same months of last year there was rain on but fifteen days, and the total rainfall amounted to but 5.96 inches. The contrast in temperature of the two periods is equally marked. The steamers on this side of the river at the landing were subject to the violence of the current. The steamer Franklin and Jen- nie Campbell got up steam and crossed to the Kentucky shore. The steamer Vint Shinkle remained at the wharf and was struck by a floating barge and had a hole thirty feet or forty feet long broken into her side above the water-line near the stern. She is in no danger from sinking. § LOSS $150,000. Railroad Collission With Seven Tramps Killed—The Cars on Fire.

WASHINGTON, August 1.—In the Star Route trial this morning, Senator Maxey, of Texas, testified that in 78 and 79 he was ghairman of the Senate Post- oflice Committee. He was asked if he had not frequently called upon the Post- master General and second Assistant — ter General while acting as chairman of that commitee with the object of securing the in- crease and expedition of star routes in his State. The question was objected to by the prosecution because none of the routes named in the indictment were in Texas. Ingersoll said it was r to show that Brady had not been influenced by mercenary motives, but rather by the advice of the whoje allow defendant to screen himself by produc- ing Postmaster-Generals and Senators and Representatives to show a policy. He had the power to establish new routes. The pol- icy of the Government is to be found in its laws. The Supreme Court had declared that in their interpretation depates in Congress, when they were enacted, could not be looked to. It was said this policy was adopted by the Second Assistant Eostmaster-General under advice, as thougn it was a cor- rect policy. ‘Suppose it was right. What had that to do with this case? Lord Bacon defended himself from the charge of bribery by say-. ing his decisions had always been right, ye be had very properly been convicted of brib- ery and stripped of his gown. Suppose this policy was correct and yet the charges in the indictment were sustained. What becomes of the policy? Admit the cor- rectness of the policy, said the court, and you do not bar the prosecution in the least if they make good their charges. Suppose all the members of the Post-office Committees of both houses of Congress called upon the Sec- ond Assistant Postmaster Generai and recom- mended an increase of a certain route. If the Second Assistant Postmaster-Genera! had re- ceived a bribe to increase this route, would it help him to show that he had acted upon the advise of representatives? I must pos- itively rule out the evidence. An exception was noted and allowed to step down. | B&-POSTMASTER-GENERAL KEY was called. A number of questions which related tothe general policy of the depart- ment were ruled out by the court because witness could not speak particularly of any of the routes named in the indictment. Ingersoll said he wished to show bv the testimony of Key thatin reality the Post- master-General and Gen. Brady were re- — for the expeditions ordered. The ostmaster-General laid down the ~~ of expedition and Brady followed it. The court, however, would not admit the evi- dence. witness The Debt Statement. 5 Administration.
