was, that large number Of the cheaper seat,
remained vacant. Many, doubtless, who fell
that they could not afford the high priced seats
would not take any other
Miss Hayes came hither with the most bril-
liant prestige as a lady and an artist she grew
increasingly upon public favor and appropriations
but we are quite certain that her Treasurer's
report will not show anything like the profit she
should have made under the circumstances Had

in their power and to their interest, to have only

THE MAtLs.-The new mail arrangement. under which
the mails from the Fast to arrive here "a hours
earlier than heretofore goes into operation to-day at
give citizens all the advantages
the change while the disadvantages of the schedule
suspended
Under the published schedule the mail is required to
arrive in New0rleans at 10A. and to leave at p NJ

things We feel that there is credit also due the
readily seconding the wishes of Mr. Mus
and the readily award it for the reason that we
rarely have opportunity to speak in his favor. We
hardly hear OF mail contractor, except when the
mail fails and then join with the rest of mankind
in abusing him; while if the mail should arrive for
months together, six hours ahead of schedule time not
soul would ever give him kind word or Il thought

rise with equal regularity taking into consideration
the comparative condition Of things in the Alabama
swamps and the Blue Empyrean'' If the sun had such
track the mail has between Washington City and Mo-
bile to travel over doubt very much that its schedule
time would be kept in the OF year any better
than that kept by mail contractor.
We earnestly hope that the arrangement made be-
Dpr-
permanent and that it will become So us far as
depends upon those gentlemen
