Tie Monument BoreS.-We would suggest
to the Commissioners of Elections throughout
the parish-or rather We would make the re-
quest-that they have suitable boxes prepared
at the polls on the l4th, to receive the dimes
of the patriotic as subscriptions to assist in
rearing the Washington Monument. We will
forward to them in season the necessary in
scriptions. We are glad to perceive that the
Picayune, in some remarks in connection with
this subject, says:
"Would not our coming elections for MEM

portunity for our citizens to subscribe their
mite to this patriotic undertakings"
We would be pleased to learn that the peo-
pie of New Orleans were determined to do
this on the occasion alluded to.

A Second Daniel Lombert-The German.
town (Ohio) Emporium has an obituary notice
of Mr.. John Schaffer, who died in that vicinity
on the 9th March, aged So years. The notice
concludes with these surprising statements:
The deceased was the largest man that we
ever saw. The coffin was sufficiently large to
contain five men Of ordinary size, measuring in
width three feet four inches in the clear, and
three feet in the height. Three men conId have
worked IN 1t at the same time, with convenience,
1t required six men to take him from the he'd
on which he expired. This was done by raj
ing a platform, removing the head-board of the
oedstead, and taking him end wise. They
could not get the coffin into the house without
taking off the facing of an old vacant house
that stood in the yard; they got the corpse into
that by carrying it thither on three empty bags.
A wagon and four horses stood prepared. and
ten men placed the coffin and its contents upon
It, In letting down the coffin into the grave
they had two lines doubled, at each end, and
one large well rope in the middle; and seventeen
men let down this piece of mortality into its
last home on earth. His height was not
known.

The Maine Law in Maine.--Hov it uorks.--
AS an exempli6cation of some of the moral
effects Of the new Liquor Law, as it is now
working in Maine, the Bangor Democrat states
that very bad liquors are sold at the city agency
there in large quantities; brandy is sold for four
doliars a gallon which could be sold for one
dollar, and then pay a profit Of twenty-five cents
a.galion. Liquors are indiscriminately sold to
oil who apply for them; all can obtain them in
such quantities as are desired by merely saying
that there are wanted for medical purposes.
One man had a large jar filled to be used for
the mechanical purpose of raising a barn; and
aard drinkers and others suffer from sickness
In these days of the Maine law beyond anything
ever experienced, or ever heard of before. Sew.
efal taverns ont of the city where liquors have
been constantly retailed, have obtained their
regular and only supplies from Bangor agency.
me agent sells such liquors as are purchased
tor him, and at such a price as others fix upon
them, he having a salary. At present they are
bought by one of the aldermen, whose plan is
understood to be to make enough on the sale of
liquor to pay the pauper bills of the city.

Selling Liquor to Slares.--Our town con-
stable stopped a dashing darkey last Sunday
whipping it through the mud up Main street.
He owned to the fact that he was breaking a
two year old colt by galloping through our
streets with a gallon jug of liquor in his wallet,
and gave a very indefinite direction where he
obtained it. Both him and his jug were taken
care of, and the transgressor suitably rewarded,
we presume, for his temerity in thus pitching
into the very teeth of the law. 1t is a pity the
law cannot get farther than the slave in such
transactions.

A despatch to the Bee, dated Baltimore,
June 1,P. NJ, presuming to give the first days
proceedings" says:
The city is thronged with strangers and the
excitement is great. The Buchanan men are
/ working hard, and are now engaged in caucus
with the Virginia delegation. They will stick
to their man to the last, as was resolved this
morning. Gen. Butler has written a letter in
favor of Gen. Cass, who he says is entitled to
the nomination. Gen. B.. calls upon his friends
to vote for Cass, and wishes to be considered
out of The field as long as Cass is in it. 1t is
thought that the friends Of Gen. Cass will
unite with those Of Butler, should they be
compelled to give up their ~favorile. The Cass
men suspect the Maryland delegation are in
clined to go for Douglas. Lockers on think
Douglas will be the nominee.
The Georgia difficulty is not settled. Lump
kin stands firm for Cass, and will contest the
seats Of the Mississippi delegates, unless it is
amicably arranged. There are 46 delegates
who claim seats. Either Mr.. Davis, of Indiana,
or Cave Johnson, of Tennessee, will be Presi-
dent Of the Convention. The friends of Gen.
Houston are pressing his claims with great en-
ergy. The New York delegation is said to be
divided between Cass and Douglas.

1Rr. Fillmore in South Carolina.
From the Charleston Courier.

The choice of Dir. Fillmore at the ensuing
Wing Convention is due to the wisdom and
firmness with which he has administered the
Government. 1t has not been a common oc-
casion.. The times were full of peril. The
existence of the Republic was at stake. Dan
ger the most formidable to the Constitution
and the Union, from the madness and folly Of
Northern faction infiaming with Just indignation
the hearts of the Southern people, pcrplexed
the minds and ~counsels of the best and ablest
men of our country. Mr.. Fillmore became
President. A calm succeeded the storm. A
feeling of safety prevades the whole country.
Prosperity unexampled since the revolution,
invigorates the enterprise and industry of the
United States. Abroad and at home, one voice
only is heard,-a voice approving with just
eulogy the vigour, the prudence, the wisdom Of
Mr.. Fillmore's administration
1t may therefore be confidently affirmed that
he possesses the cordial admiration and unhesl-
tating preference of all the whole Southern
Wings. This preference has been distinctly
expressed in many Of the Southern States. 1t
remains to be seen whether we also in South
Carolina, duly appreciate the purity, honesty,
and ability which command the emphatic APP
probation of our Sister States.
II there is o State in the Union whose ap-
plause is peculiarly due to the wisdom ana
justice of the present Executive, it is the State
of South Carolina. The high spirit of her
people, impatient of insult and wrong, had
placed her in the front rank Of opposition to
what she considered assaults on her liberties and
rights. If civil war had been the result of the
rash and needless c~ounsels that ruled our coun-
try, South Carolina would have been the first
to endure its dangers and sacrifices.
She cannot be insensible to the calm, unos-
tentatious, but thoroughly ~eficient ard success
full craftsmanship, that has disarmed the intri-
CUES of bad men, and given peace and prosperi-
ty to the country. She is not insensible. Not
only do the Wings of South Carolina justly
appreciate the eminent services of the President,
but they are rightly estimated by the Democrats
of the State. 1t may be confidently affirmed
that out oftheir own party, no man in the Uni
on possesses so entirely the confidence of the
Democrats of South Carolina as Mr.. Fillmore,
nor is there one in whose election they would
SO readily acquiesce as in his. He has won that
confidence and acquiescence, not by subscribing
little interests, but by administration of the
evidently and entirely conserva-
tive, national and successful. If then a Wing
voice from South Carolina is heard in Conven-
ton, it must be, it can be, for no other man
than Willard Fillmore. JUSTICE.
