THE POLICE BILL.

The Indianapolis City Council Will Resist it* Operation.

At the meeting of the Indianapolis city council last night important action was taken concerning the Metropolitan police bilL Mr. Pritchard introduced the following: "Whereas, We are of one opinion that the so-called metropolitan police bill passed by the General Assembly at the session just closed, is not onlj unjust and vicious, but is also unconstitutional in its provisions therefore, "Resolved, That it is the seme of the members of this Council that no money shall be appropriated to pay any member of theBoard of Metropolitan Police Commissioners, officers, or persons who may hereafter be elected or appointed under its provisions, out of the city treasury of the city of Indianapolis. "Resolved, farther, That the police board, chief of police, city marshal and turnkeys of said city be, and they are each hereby instructed to continue lo the discharge of their several duties as heretofore, and'not to turn oyer or deliver possession of any of the sttJioo-houses or city property to any other person until so, ordered DV the Common Council and Board of Alderman, or some court of competent jurisdiction. And the city attorney is hereby instructed to take the necessary legal steps to cacry out the provisions of this resolution."

Mr, Powling offered as an amendment a resolution providing "that any and all demands coming from the duly commissioned agents of the State ot Indiana, acting by authority of the Stats Legislature, shall be mostrespectfully considered and complied with."

The resolution Was tabled and the orignal resolution was adObted.

Oar Home Fleeds.

Jacob Horner and B. F. Flesher, two prominent farmers living in Prairieton township, sixteen miles south of the city, were in the city yesterday. Mr. Horner's farm lies along the levee and his house is close to it on ihe highest ground in the vicinity. Tbe recent flood breaking of the levee overflowed his farm entirely, ooming over his yard and even into his house two inches. Mr. Horner thinks this flood was fully twelve inches higher than that of July 1875. He reports that there are sixteen breaks in the levee which is six miles long and these breaks vary from five rods to fifty rods. To repair these it wilLtake $80,000. Two breaks at the upper end must be fixed before any farming at all can be done on avast body of land. To repair these two places will take at least five thousand dollars This work must be done and done at once. Here is a legitimate chance for the use of any spare funds, raised for flood sufferers, for it is to be understood that tbe farmers on whom this work of repair falls have been greatly damaged by tbe high water which washed away fences, injured crops, washed away corn crops and hay stacks and did all sorts of damage. Many farmers have had tbe soil washed off in places and in others immense qualities of river sand and rocks have been piled on them. Mr. Flesher estimates that the owners of the bottom land along this levee have been damaged fully mehundred thousand dollars.

THE MISSISSIPPI.

The Water at Helena Rising and Danger of aBridge Being Swept Away-

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 5—Latest news from the lower Mississippi river is that the water at Helena is rising at the rate of about half an ineh an hour and it is now thought the highest marks of last year will be reached. The levees still hold and it is believed they can and will be able to resist the additional rise. A good deal of uneasiness is felt, however, and preparations are being made for the worst. Boats and other floating apparatus are being rapidly constructed and planters as well as people in the city are furnishing themselve with means of escape, should the levees break.

The trestle on the Helena branch of the Iron Mountain railroad at Longville river, thirty miles north of Helena, which a week ago was forty feet above water, is expected to be submerged to-day, and trains are stopped until arrangements can be made to transfer. The' men washed off the Memphis and Little Rock railroad bridge at Blackflsh bayou, were rescued at Arkansas City. The water is still rising at the rate of three inches per day. nerwisethe situation remains about about the same as previously reported. Accounts from the section between Friars potnt and Yicksburg on the Mississippi side of the river, a distance of about 300 miles, are that tbe reports of damage have been grossly exaggerated. Tbe levees there are .still unbroken, no danger is apprehended and the planters are busy plowing and prepariig to put in their crops.
