THOMAS P. EsKRIDGE.

IdOMAS F. E1cAhlDOE b. It seems as if this individual was deter nined, as far as in him lies, to annihilate he law of the land, and substitute in its taee the arbitrary conclusions of his own slI
 At inc present term of the Indepen- ltnce Circuit Court, man by the name .ef JOHN FosrER, was indicted by the Grand Jury, for horse stealing. After the witnesses ofthe prosecution had gone home, fos7ER came in with his witnesses, applied flor baa, and Eskridge gra'ted it.
 He did also, at the Lawrence Circuit Court admit to bail WILLIAM P. RICE, vho was indicted, at the recent term of that Court, for MURDER. 4he persons
 who haie44 Rice .ce, VIC have t :;pon good ,u
 thonty, are his relations, are not, altogether,
 worth more than $500, and intend leaving the country shortly, Rice and all.
 These are both most fragrant violations of the Consultation of the United Stotes, of the Organic Laac, and tue settled Practice and La'o of the land. The prisoners have aoth been indicted for offences, of which the penalty is DEATH. A Judge is not al- lowed to admit to bail, in cases punishable with DEATH, after Grand Jury have ionnd true Bill of Indictment, which had been donein both these cases.
 What then does Thomas P. Eskridge in- Rnds Does he mean to trample on all Law and to establish inits place, the ghast- !

To those of cur merchants who may have dealings in Louisiana, it may be useful to know the following decisions, relating to the law of debtor and creditor in that State, recently made by the Supreme Court.
 Heirs are notresponsiblej jointly and sev- erally for the debts of their ancestors, if they have an inventory made, even tho, they accept the succession internationally. Each IS bound only for his proportion.- Debts due by estates, administered by cu- rators, executors or administrators, bear in- terest from the death of the debtor, if then due, or from the time they become due, subsequent to his death, atho' no demand had been made. The third point Is, that on debts contracted, payable at distant period, bearing interest payable on certain annual days. the interest. i, not paid at the stipulated day, becomes principal and car- ries interest as such.-BaH. .4sselicoa.

[ From the Globe. of .Nopenl5er g.

We observed an article in Saturdays lntelhgeneer, in which notice is taken of a rumored deficiency in the funds of the Post-office Department.
 he administration Of the affairs Of that department, by its present chief, has been distinguished by rapid extension of mail routes to every quarter of the Union, and by such improvements upon the great arte- ries of communication as have secured to to the principal cities, opportunities ofmore frequent and rapid correspondencewith each other.
 By the last Congress an act establishing an unusually large number of post roads was passed. This threw upon the depart ment load, which, with the unexpected increase in the price of the contracts fer the eastern section of the Union, was shewn in the last annual report of the Post master General, to amount to heayy sum, the most of which was exclusively for the new routes, which are always unproduc- tive at the beginning.
 This heavy and unavoidable expendi- ture, with the cost of the great improve ments before made, the productiveness of some of which has not answered the ex- pectations of the Postmaster General, were found, during the present year, to have carried the expenses of the department be- yond it's receipts, though it is believed not much beyond it's actual credits, if the sums due 10 1t could be promptly colIected.-~ Yetas this cannot be done, the Post-mas- ter General has applied himself with ener- gy to the business of eurtailing the expen- ses in way, which, together with the great saving effected with the contracts just let in the South, will soon bring them within the current revenue of the department.
 In the mean time the credit of the de- partment IS unshaken, and the annual re- port which the Postmaster General is short 1 ly to submit to the President, will fully ex- hibit its condition, and, we believe, will flil- ly satisfy the public of the faithful and cor- rect administration of it's concerns.
