We take the following from the New Orleans

Louisiana, liable to militia tax is 1886 43 each

THE MAIL RoBBERs-Tsaiah Downs, the
man who gave the information that led to the
arrest of the five men charged with the robbery
Of the mail at Philadelphia, is an old Baltimore
rogue, He processes to have been engaged in
the robbery himself, but having been treated
badly by his confederates, he gave the necessary
information to Thomas Stubbins formerly u
police officer, to secure their arrest. The ac-
cused are mostly aged men, and are believed to
be English convcts. When arrested they were
all about half drank, and the whole inhabitants
of Rum row, where they were found seemed to
be carousing.
There is but one young man among them
The robbery was effected in the manner
suspected by false keys. After getting clear
with the pouches, they were taken to stable
back OF Rum row ard there riiled, and the Sc
lection of the money made, after which the re-
jected letters and the bags were taken to some
distance and scattered about where found. A
large amount of stolen goods were found on the
premises. 1t would not be very surprising if
this gang were ascertained to have been con-
cerncd in the murder and robbery of Mr.. Burd.

FROM WAsHINGToN-Ih Compronatse.--A.,
the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writes under date of the 10th inst, as FOL
lows " The Hon. Robert j. Walker, Mr.. Barbour
of Virginia. Mr. Dallas of Pennsylvania, Judge
Woodbury., in short every leading democrat in the
land, will shortly be out in letters for publication
to support the bill reported by Mr.. Clay. Mr..
Walkers letter may appear tomorrow; it will GER
tainly not be delayed beyond this week. The
leading wings of the country are about doing the
same thing. Mr.. Critenden, of Kentucky, has
already written strong letter endorsing MIR. Clay
in the whole length and breadth of his course, and
expressing his adhesion to the compromise. Hon
est Gave Johnson of Tennessee, has also written
one in favor Of the compromise and will probably
replace Mr.. Turney in the Senate Of the United
States. Give the bill time, and we shall soon see
whether the ultras are sufficiently backed at home
to defeat it. | doubt it much.
i" Mr.. Merediths deficit for the present financial
year, ending June 10th, has completely vanished
away, the first nine months revenue from customs
having exceeded his estimates for the whole year.
No loan will be necessary for the year following,
unless very extravagant appropriations are made
for internal Improvements. What a disappont-
ment this will be to the bears in Wall street
The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill will
be reported next week.
I" Mr.. Foote spoke in favor of the Compromise
bill, for two hours, attacking the ultra position
taken by the Senator from Florida, Mr.. Yulee."
