SCENES AFTER AN EXECUTION. New
Orleans Delta, after noticing the execution
of a negro for murder says:
"a couple of the bhoys from New Orleans
took it into their heads that the hangman was
. great villain and deserved a touch of the
rope; accordingly, they waylaid, attacked ard
attempted to take him from the carriage in
which he was being driven rapidly off. Miss
ing their object, however they contented them
selves by throwing missiles after the carriage
and attempted to break it down by casting
large sticks of timber between the spokes in
the wheels. They gave up their patriotic
chase, and got into the omnibus in which we
happened to be seated, and commenced talking
in very boastful manner of their exploits
when Of a sudden we saw the soldiers and a
crowd rushing toward the omnibus, which they
soon surrounded and took at the point of the
6ayonet. The two individuals who had made
the attempt against the hangman were ordered
to get ont, and were conveyed to Jail, where
they will perhaps remain Tor some time. The
omnibus then continued on to the city without
further interruption.
I'VE asked an interesting female passenger
in the bus how she enjoyed the execution ?
With killing smile, she modestly replied
first rate"

Riee DenOnstrssion.

The friends of Hon. II. NJ RICE assem-
bled on Saturday evening to celebrate his
election, and to tender to him their con-
gratulations A torch-light procession was
formed, which, headed by q band, moved
to Mr.. RIcE's residence. Transparencies,
properly illumin ated, were raised before his
dwelling, and the firing of cannon and q
brilliant display of fireworks announced
the arrival of the procession.
Mr.. RICE WAS called out, and in brief
but pertinent speech, returned thanks for
the demonstration of kindness shown, but
being in i'll health was compelled soon to
retire
Speeches were made also by Messrs. Geo.
L. Becker, r. r. Nelson, COL Irwin, Judge
Baker and Mr.. Mclean, and the whole af.
fair passed off pleasantly.
Mr.. RICE has reason to be greatly graft
fed at this demonstration Oh the part of
his friends

MAusARRANGExEHT-The Galena Pack
ct Company does not, under its mail con-
tract. supply all the Offices on the route be-
tween this place and DIALOGUE. This de-
fciency is to be supplied by the employment
of two other boats and the Kate Cassel
has already been contracted with. She
will leave Dubuque regularly every Thurs
day, and the other on Monday or Saturday
This new arrangement will supply some ten
or eleven post Offices on the route.
The Dubuque Express states that the
Postmaster Of that city has been on visit
to Washington, and adds: : cas- ~
He has had the Iowa City mail increased
from tri-weekly to daily. He has had the
Dubuque aud Independence mail extended tri
weekly to Fort Dodge.
lie has obtained new route tri-weekly
from Dubuque by way Of Dyersville and West
Union to DEBORAH. He has had the land route
to st. Paul, which is now run tri-weekly iu
winter, and weekly in summer, raised to a
semi-weekly during the season of navigation,
and he has had the route now run semi-weekly
from Dubuque to Garnavillo, extended semi
weekly through Monona, lansing, Browns
vile, Winona, Red Wing, &C., to ST. Paul.
This, with the semi-weekly mails extended
! to river Offices which were not supplied here
totore, and important facilities obtained for
some smaller Country Postofices, were worth
trip to Washington. He also obtained q
tri-weekly mail route from Charleston, in Lee
county, to Mount Pleasant, in Henry county,
and tri-weekly Mail from Council Bluffs to
Sioux City. These two latter were repeatedly
refused BY the Department but he included
them in the list of claims and got them.
He tells US that the Postmaster General is
very kindly disposed towards our State, but
