Negro Stealing.-Sometine since three fine
negroes were missing from the plantation of
the Messrs. BARROW on the Marangouin, which
where not heard of until a few weeks back
Information having then been received by let
ter, a gentleman was Immediately despatched
to Memphis, where one of the slaves was to be
found. The intelligence was of such a eharae.
ter rs to induce the belief that the slaves were
stolen, and that the thief was at that time resi-
ding in the vicinity Of the Marangouin. Upon
reaching Memphis, this gentleman became as
sured that the man he suspected was truly gull
ty Of having stolen and sold the negroes, and
he sent down by telegraph the information CON.
corning him, when he was arrested, and was
brought to this Jail a few days back, to await
his trial in this place.

The State Legislature.-The Pointe Coupee
Echo, like other staunch Democratic journals
in the State, is very dissatisfied with the aas.
sembled wisdom" That journal says:
We have got tired of registering our COM
plants against the slownes and ineficiency of
the Legislature. The matter that surprises US
now is that any of the active business men of
that body tolerate any longer by their presence
the scandalous waste of time and of the public
money that prevails at Baton Rouge. The De.
mocratic members, who are largely in the ma
jority in both Houses, appear to have forgotten
that their constituents confidently expected that
the business of the present session would have
been despatched with promptitude and fidelity,
so that it might contrast favorably with the
slowness and apathy of previous Legislatures
where the Wings predominated. 1t is mort.
flying to our party pride to be obliged to con.
tess that we will never be able to cite the pre-.
sent Senate and House of Representatives as
models of patriotic self-sacrifce or Democratic
wisdom. Their conduct is inexplicable; and the
conscientious among them owe it to them
selves and their constituents, as soon as they
get home, to explain why it has taken them
three months to accomplish what might have
been effected under normal circumstances in as
weeks.

UThe New.York Tribune, specializing up.
on the appointment of Mr.. Soule as Minister to
Spain, says :"Another reason for the SUPPOSE
ton that Mr.. SouIe would not receive this mis-.
sion particularly, is, that it was applied for by
a distinguished legal gentleman of Louisiana,
who came to Washington at Mr.. Soule's sug.
g~estion, and with a promise from him, MI. s..
that he would render the aforesaid gentleman
all the needed aid to obtain any position he de-
sired. When it transpired, some days ago, that
Mr.. Soule was himself a candidate for the mis-.
sion, he was applied to promptly by the gentle
man in question to know if it were so, and if
he had been brought to Washington on a wild
goose chase. To this Mr.. Soule replied that
he would not accept the Spanish mission, ex.
cept upon one condition, and that condition he
did not suppose the Administration would
grant. Upon being questioned as to what it
was, he replied that it was that he should have
untan'liea poaoers for the purchase of Cuba.'
