SECRETARY LINCOLN’S PLANS WORKING WELL Secretary Lincoln's plan for relieving the flood sufferers is working admirably, and he has received agreat many telegrams expressive of satisfaction with the means of relief afforded. By to-morrow he expects to be in direct communication, for “the purpose of furnishing provisions and other neces. saries, with gll of the devastated districts. It is j thought likely that in some cases relief cannot be | given by water, and if so, reliet organizations will formed to give aid from land. Capt. McGowan, the recruiting ofticer at Louisville, was this morn: tng ordered to accompany one of the relief boats at that clty, under orders of Gen. Saxton. ‘The Sec- retary “this morning received a telegram from Senator Pendleton at the Capitol, stating that he had received telegrams from Cincinnatl indica Ung the greatest satisfaction with the means, for the reli ot the sufferers, but that more money will be need ‘The mayor of Evansville, Ind. sent the following | telegram to the Secretary’ to-day: “The people of Evansville and Vanderburg county again dectine the proffered ald.

The matter was re celved at his office, he says, in August last, while on his vacation. When he’ returned, he gave it close inspection, and, as it was.a matter involving a jarge amount of money and complicated and intrl- cate questions, and he was anxious to give It care ful and deliberate consideration, his opinion, when drawn up, he had laid aside for awhile to give it more mature consideration. It was finally com- pleted a few weeks ago, and had been ordered sent to the Postmaster General. The communication concludes with the statement that the opinion had been transmitted to the Postmaster General the 18th inst. PRAISE FOR THE SECRETARY OF WAR. Mr. Pendleton sent tothe desk and had read a telegraphic dispatch from Mr. Richard Smith, of Cincinnati, to Isaac N. Jordan, Washington, saying that the Secretary of War had done grandly m the matter of the relief of the sifferers by the Ohio floods; that red-tape, whose interference had been feared, had been all cut up and thrown away; that the cold weather, though better than raln, had increased the distress; that neither pen’ nor imagination could sufficiently describe the suffer- ings; that Congress should appropriate an addl- ‘tonal millon; it would have to come, and the more promptly the better. ‘Mr. Pendleton sald that there was no politics in the matter. Everybody was working for it as the cause of a common humanity. Mr. Voorhees said he had similar telegrams, some of which were read. He said that his feat had ‘not on the Occasion of last year’s flood asked ald of Cony as the Indiana iegislature was then in. session, but would do so now, as the I uure could not be convened in time to take such imme- diate action as would meet the emergenc: Mr. Beck stated that he had received similar dis- patches from his state. He had seen the Secretary of War a few moments ago, who told him that he had received the assurance that the House of Representatives would today get another appro- priation, and the money already appropriated ‘would be sufficient for to-day and to-morrow, and perhaps Sunday.

They declare tat any reduction will cause wide-spread disaste among the sugar planters and will, in fact, result in bankrupting all connected with’ that interest. Aside from the financial feature of the question, there is a political phase of no little importance, ac cording to the men of this delegation. They say that if the democratic majority of the House pass, or even permit the passage of a bill reducing the sugar tariff, 1t will cost that party the vote of Louisiana. ‘The people of that state, say these gen- Wemen, are not going to follow any’ party to their own fihanclal ruin, and if the democrats touch sugar in tariff legislation the Louistanians will en- Geavor to save their interests by acting with the Tepublicans.
