London, April 19, 2:10 p m ?The
arrival of Gen. Garrington at Beira,

intend blowing up the Johannesburg
mines wre the only items of news that
mark to day's war cables Weeks

approach Mafeking. According to a
rumor io circulation at Lorenzo
Marques, a Boer force has been sent
to intercept Gen Carrington, bot it
ia not thought to be of sufficient
strength to cause anxiety.

Ex-Convicts Not Exempt.
In response to a letter from County
Supervisor Owens of Riobland county.
Attorney General Bellinger has
prepared tbe following :
Dear Sir : Your letter of the 17th
iost has just been reoeired, in wbiob
you refer to the question recently
asked the governor as to the "liability
of ex-convicts to road duty." The
provision as to the workiog of tbe
public roads is purely a statutory one
and tbe subject, as far as the same
! relates to "persons liable to suoh duty,"
ia oovcred by section 4 of the acts of
1900, page 289, wbiob provides.
"That all male person', f.ilo to perform
the labor herein requi d between the
ages of 18 and 55 years (here follows
certain exceptions as to certain counties
and tbe ages specified, and also exoept
ministers of the gospel in aotual obarge
of a congregation, and persons perma?
nently disabled in the military service
of this State and persous who served
in tbe late war between tbe States, and
i persona aotually employed io tbe
i quarantine service of the State), shall
be required annually to perform or
cause to be performed labor ou the
highways under the direotion of tbe
overseer of the said district in which
be shall reside, as follows,'1 etc. It
I seems clear from the above, which is
I exhaustive, that ex-oonviots are not
I exempt from tbe performance of road
duty. The question of citizenship
does not arise, in my opinion, in this
connection
Louisiana Goes Democratic.
New Orleans, April IJ ?The elec?
tion to day in Louisiana for members
of the legislature and a full State
ticket resulted in a Democratic land
slide. The ticket, headed by Auditor
I Heard, swept the State from one end
to the other, and the legislature is
overwhelmingly Democratic
The vote was unusually light, ow
ing to the excessive rainfall. To
day's was the first election held under
the new legislation law disfranchising
the negro, and tbe battle at the polls
was fought almost exclusively by the
, whites Three tickets were in the
field?the Democratic ticket, headed
by W \V. Heard, the present State
auditor ; the regular Republicans,
headed by E S. Reams, a New
Orleans grocer, and a fusion embrac

Democrats and Populists, headed by

Memphis, Tenn , April 20.?A spe?
cial to the commercial-appeal from
New Orleans saye :
Tbe flood which commenced the
early part of the week has already
caused, at a conservative estimate,
fuiiy $2,000.000 loss in central and
southern Mississippi, to say nothing
of the damages by the railroads.
The extent of the losses have not yet
been fully realized and it may be
some days yet before an accurate
total can be reached for mail com?
munication has been totally cut off
between these localities which have
suffered most and the outside world
and telegraph lines suffered greatly
so thet the news is just now begin?
ning to arrive by wire. In Louisiana
too. the damage done by the unpre
cedented rains was general but in this
State they are more inferential than
positive A special from Columbia,
Miss, which was received late to?
night fixed tbe loss in that iittie town
and its immediate vicinity at $500 -
000.
Many farm bouses were carried
away by the mad waters, the occu?
pants barely escaping with their
lives and the number of cattle
drowned was great A great many
gins and mill bouses were washed
away and many sawmills saw their
lumber piles melted away as if by
magic Nearly every bridge around
Columbia was swept down stream.
Pearl river is new higher that it has
been known lor many years Miles
and miles of the New Orleans and
Northeastern track are still under
water. Honey islaud, the rendez?
vous of the noted train robber,
Burcb, is under 20 feet of water
and the island, which has for years
been one of the natura, game pre*
serves of the south, is now devoid
of wild animals Hundreds of deer
were drowned and the bills near tbe
banks of the Pearl river are n;>w the
temporary abiding places of all man
ner of four footed life The log
booms in the neighborhood of Pearl
ington were all carried away as;d the
loss sustained in this direction alone
amounts to thousands of dollars.
Distressing news comes Hickory,
Miss, a small town on this road
which is now completely surrounded
by water nnd inundated in many
localities. Hundreds of hog* and
cattle near this point were drowned
and miles of fencing hav^? been
washed away. The latest advices
