New JAILoR.-Mr. R. NJ. Bles. the po-
lite and efficient gentleman who has been
acting as jailor under Sheriff Peden, has
been deposed by the newly elected sheriff,
and Lewis Hardy, who is more radically
inclined, has been appointed to take his
place, and has taken possession of the keys.
1t is matter ofregret with the whole com
munity that Mr. Biles has been removed,
as he is a gentleman highly respected by
all. and who has been renderd incapable of
doing manual labor by the loss of an arm in
the late war while battling valiantly for the
South. 1t is hoped he viii fad some lu-
crstiYe employment in our midst.

Judge Bailey is holding Court at
Abbeville. The District Court sits
here On Monday, April 18th.


The citizens Of Lake Charles, in
trested ID our direct mail communities
ton with New Orleans and other parts
Of The country, were made glad, few
days ago, by the arrival ia our town, d
Nj. A. Il. Davis. general agent Of the
overland mail route from N, %. to Texas.
We had the pleasure Of call from Mr.,
Davis az Our Office, during his short stay
in town, who informed as that his pres
emit business was to reorganize and com
pletely re-stock and re-bridge all the
mail routes in this section Of country.
Mr. ID. expressed himself anxious and
determined to make our mail communi-
cations what they should be, regular and
punctnal, and all those who are ac-
quainted with him and know his indom-
table energy and his business capaci-
ties, win feel assured Of his complete
success. The representation that the
road from Orange to New Iberia is
sometimes impracticable on account Of
the high stage of the water, is wholly
erroneous. Since the road has been
brdged, as it was done, when this line
Of mail service was established, the
communication is easy and practicable
under any circumstances, and in all sea-
sons Of the year. we wish no better
proof Of this fact than that during the
ast two years, the water is known to
nave been as high as at any other time
previously, and that notwithstanding,
he mail communications with but very |
ew exceptions, until quite recently, !
we're regularly maintained. The late
ew Irregularities and failures Of the
nail service to this point, were, we are
lssured, caused by uncomfortable acct
Tents, independent Of high water, and
a no wise attributable to negligence or
'emissness Since two weeks, though
We have had very heavy rains, and the
water proportionately high, the mail ser
nee has been performed regularly and
Within schedule time.

The news Of the week is inter

ate the preliminary steps towards

not been summoned to appear at
the bar Of the Senate, but the cita-
ton was expected To Issue name

intends 10 submit to the trial, but
"a avail himself Of al legal de-
fences. Among these are the right
to object to those Senators, as
members of the court of impeach-
ment, who have preiudged tho
question Ia be tried. In the mean
time he pursues the even tenor Of
his way dominates public Off

Thomas shall attend eli cabinet

that the impeachment trial viii |

the germ Of its own speedy and

Judge Crawford entered the fol.
lowing protest in writing, which We
give with others as showing the
most obnoxious features Of the in
strument which is to Be submitted
to the people for their votes.
THE undersigned member Of
the constitutional convention Of
the State of Louisiana respectfully
submits the following as some Of
the reasons which impel him I'd
vote against the adoption of the
Constitution framed by this con
yention
Il III the bill of rights social
equality is attempted to be- en-
forced, and the right Of citizens to
control the1' own property is att
tempted to be taken from them.
~. "a judicial system has been
adopted which, in my opinion, is
radically defective, and Will render
uncertain and insecure the rights
to property and the lives and liber-
ties of the people.
s'9. "A system Of public eduea-
ton has been adopted which, in
my opinion, viii force heavy con
tributions from the tax-paTers Of
the State, and will entirely prevent
any public schools from being car
ried into effect, and tend to pre-
vent the rising generation from
being educated, and to entail upon
the State large class Of ignorant
inhabitants, and will subject The
State to the exclusive control Of
the Ignorant and uneducated.
/" 4. a system Of prescription Isl
adopted which attempts to deprive
q large class Of citizens 81 the
Of voting or holding Office,
who are liable to pay taxes and
assist ia bearing the burthen Of
government, and the manner 81
restoration, is calculated To invite
Fhe nleaner and unprincipaled to
participate /, II voting, and holding
81 office, and tte drive away the
good and honorable.
70. The oath Of Office is incon-
5istent with the Gonstitution-is
absurd, disgracefll and ridiculous.
9, The direct tendency Of tho
Constitution as a whole is to en-
gender and perpetuate state Of
strife between the citizens of the
state to such an extent rs win lead
2 hostile collisions, anarchy, and
'ne utter subyersion Of All law and
government that the adoption 81
