The New Orleans Mails.

From the start of this mail from Re,
River Landing to this place, tri-weekly
by wagons, coaches, hacks, mud cart
, or whatever you choose to call them. il
has been in the truest sense of the tern
decided and palpable nuisance. The
mails from New Orleans are sent reg,l.

old days, on the finestand mostpunctu.
al boats aaoat, the r. E. Lee, Quitman
and Fashion. Their days of departure
are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,
arriving with and depositing the mails
at the Mouth the next day early in the
morning. Now any one would suppose
with such perfect arrangement we
would, as we undoubtedly should re-
seive them here, in about forty-two
hours from the city. We will be ex-
plicit as we know what we are writing
about. We should get them here regu-
larly on Monday, Thursday and sature
DAY, without a single failure in the
year from the stages. How hasit been ?
not once, not now and then but almost
hall OF the time since the commence
ment of the present contract 1! The
failure to get them here has been fully
one IN three and it is being systemati-
cally Kept up all the time. For this,
the sole blame, neglect andunpardona-
BILE outrage no one is responsible but
the contractors or their agents or their
drivers. The stage arrives here regu-
larry and ahead of time at that. but
leaving the mail behind one third ofthe
time. The mail Of Tuesday the 18th
which was left at the Mouth by the R.
E. Lee eight minutes before 8 o'clock
A. NJ. on the following morning, has
not reached here yet, although the
stage has been here twice in it's regular
time; and still the mail that left the
City on the Quitman Thursday the 18th.
reached here in due time SATURDAY. the
18th! Willany one explain thisg
But the most objectionable and un-
heard of blunder. to use a mild word
remains to be told. The Mail which
leaves New Orleans on the Fashion
every Saturday evening, and which
is by far the nnostimportant mail of the
three, because it contains all the week
lies, is forced toie atthe Mouth twenty
four hours! And whyg because the
Contractor chooses to make Monday
his rest day instead Of the proper rest
day. Nowwe will venture the asser-
lion that there is not in the United
States another mail route where such
hing occurs as the detention of an i'm
9ortant mail twenty four hours, when
t can be avoided SO easily.

q The River, since our last, has
commenced to rise, which, at this sea-
son Of the year, is little strange. 1t
has already risen FIVE feet and is still
gong up at the rate of eight inches per
twenty-fom hours. The rise comes
from above the Raft and is oecasioned
by the late very heavy rains in that
section. The Boats have all gone
over the Falls without the least trouble.

W Hat N EXT?

In an article with the above caption
the New York World INDUCES in a
number of speculations as to the prob
able action of the Radicals now that
they have morethan two-thirds of each
House of Congress, and processes to be-
lieve that the South cannot be damaged
much more at their hands, if our own
people will make use of the means at
their disposal. Our contemporary be-
lieves that protracted exclusion from
Congress is the greatest evil that we
SHALL suffer, and that it is impossible
for anything more serious to happen to
us. 1t says that negro suffrage cannot
be forced upon us except by an amend
ment to the Constitution, which the
South can checkmate. That new pen
alties for treason are equally impossi-
bic except by the passage of er post
tacto laws. That the State govern
ments cannot be upset, because Con-
gress cannot come in conflict with them
except in judging of the qualification
Of members of that body.
Now, all our respected contempora-
ry's hopes and expectations are biased
on the hypothesis that the Yankees in
general, and the Radicals in particular,
are like other people, and that the
rules of logic in use among others are
equally applicable to them. This as
sumption is exceedingly strange after.
the actions of the last half dozen years.
The World ought to know by this time
that the Radical party will not sickle
on mere matters of form, particularly of
Constitutional form, whenever they are
in the way of the accomplishment of
their purposes. One would have
thought that they could not have abol-
ished slavery in defiance of the Consti-
tuition, and yet they abolished slavery
first and then trumped up Constitu-
tional amendment to suit the case. And
yet our neighbor says they cannot pass
retroactive laws. They formed State
put of the territory of Virginia, without
The slightest pretext Of its being law
ful, and yet the World says they can
not interfere with the State govern
nents. Negro suffrage cannot be in
reduced, forsooth, without an amend
nent OF the Constitution; but the lille
gal pretense Of the adoption of an
by Tennessee, and the en-
enlargement held out to the bogus
Convention of Louisiana to do the
anne thing, leave no room for doubt
hat they will adopt any amendment
ley choose, and that they will force
legro suffrage on the South before the
nd of the next session. If thew pen
tiles for treason are impossible there
re certainly enough old ones that are .
