Condition Of the South.
Rev. DR.. Daily, special agent of the Post Office
Departm ent for Louisiana and Texas, arrived
here yesterday morning, on business connected
with the postal service in the South. He re-
ports favorably as to the speedy re-establishment
of post offices and post routes in his district.
When he visited Texas last fall not a single
commissioned postmaster was to be found in
that State, while now nearly all the principal
mail routes are opened. AS to Louisiana, he
thinks it the best "reconstructedn StaIe in all
the South-the Situation" accepted in good
faith, and freedmen and whites hard at work in
reconstructing plantations and lost or wrecked
fortunes. In his oplnlon, Loui lana will soon
be herself again.
