JUDGE PoLAND's FINANCIAL BILL
Judge Poland of this State has introduced
bill in the House for funding the pub
lie debt, which in some quarters at least
has been favorably received, and the
main provisions of which are thus stated;
The bill proposes the issue of coupon
or registered bonds to the amount of 81,
000,000,000, redeemable in ccin after
thirty and fifty years respectively; the
the thirty year bonds to bear interest at
four and half per cent, and the fifty
year bonds to bear interest at four per
cent. The bonds to be exempt from ma
tionaI state and municipal taxes, except
the income tax, and to be exclusively
used in payment Of or exchange for out
standing bonds or notes that have fallen
due or bear interest at higher rates. The
Secretary of the Treasury is to retire and
cancel all United States notes now out
standing by their conversion into such
bonds Circulating notes are to be issued
to the national banks as fast as the
United States notes outstanding shall be
reduced to S100,000,000. The national
banks are hereafter to make their depos-
its for the security of their circulation in
the bonds provided in this act.

GEN. GRANT AND THE LADrEs.-A
Washington dispatch tells the following
story about Gen. Grant and a lady ques-
toner On Cabinet matters.
"a gay party was assembled at Gen.
Grants residence several nights ago, and
the ladies composing it formed group
around the great man Of the mansion,
talking pleasant small talk for some
time, when one Of the party, sprightly
and handsome lady, thought the oppor-
tunity favorable and the GereraTs men,
tai guard sufficiently negligent to VEN
ture in where other folks than angels
have hitherto feared to tread. 'Gineral,
started the venturesome fair one, now
won't you say who you intend to put in
your Cabinet ?" The General paused
for moment, while a battery of bright
and anxious eyes we're directed upon
him. He saw the critical nature of his
position, and that skill alone could Sc.
cure him a graceful triumph. We'll.
Mrs, said he with twinkle of hu-
NOR in his eye, my wife has asked me
that same question already, but haven't
told her yet"

A ROMANTIC SToRY-The Hartford
Conn Post says lady and gentleman
are now living in that city who were en-
gagged to be married more than thirty
years ago, and who are still anxiously
waiting the day when they shall be made
'one. In 1910 they had been engaged
for some time, but did not marry because
each had mother dependent upon him
and her for support. The two mothers
refused to live together, and their chill
dren would not leave them, but decided
to postpone their marriage until one or
the other should die. Both mothers are
still living and the gentleman continues
to visit the lady, their filial duty still
keeping them apart. The man has had
consumption for several years, and
doubtless ere either of the now very aged
mothers shall take their departure, he
will have gone to his last resting place
Every day trembling old Romeo, lean
ing heavily on cane, with feeble steps,
wends his way to the house of Juliet, a
withered maiden lady, whose hair is sill
vered by age and trouble. Truly they
deserve happiness if any couple ever
did.

A LOUISIANA TRAGEDY.-In Cald-
well parish, last week, three brothers,
James, Henry and Thos. Duke, went to
a young man named Cain, who was at
work IN the woods, to get an explana-
ton of some affair. On starting for
home they met j. ii. Cain, the father of
the young man, when, after some words.
the old man brought his gun to bear on
the three br, theirs. Firing one barrel
he killed James Duke instantly, and
with the second wounded Henry Duke
MORALLY. The latter, after falling,
drew a pistol and fired at old Cain, but
missed him. Thomas Duke tried to get
a pistol from one of lis dead brothers
while old Cain was reloading his gun.
but had to leave, as young Cain got af.
ter him. The next day the two broth
ers were buried in one grave. At last
accounts their murderer had not been
arrested.

= A few days since lot of stuff was
sold in Portland for rum by the United

REGISTRY RETURNS. District
Clerks are reminded that it is their duty
in the month of January, to ascertain the
whole number Of births and deaths that
have occurred in their respective dis
tricts, and return the same to the town
clerk, on or before the first day of Feb
ruary. The penalty for neglecting so to
do, is forfeiture of all compensation and
a fine of not less than So. The compen-
sation is fifteen cents for each birth re-
turned, provided the returns are correct.
1t is the duty of the town clerk to ex-
anime the returns, and if found correct
to give each district clerk certificate to
that effect, which certificate shall entitle
the said clerks to their pay from the
town treasurer on an order from the Sc
lectmen. If the returns are not correct,
it is made the duty of the town clerk to
commence prosecution againstdelinquent
district clerks to recover penalty Of So.
Clergymen and Justices will also do
well to remember, that the law requires
them tn ratnrp ranord Of oil .-<;aSoS
solemnized by them in the year, to the
town or city clerk, under penalty of not
less than $40 fine for each case of ne
glect SO to do. These returns, as the law
now stands, must also be made ain the
month of January"

UNooNvIcrED MURDERERs.-lt is an
old adage, that "justice is slow, bnt
sure" Yet it will hardly apply to Eng
land at the present day. The Westmlns'
ter Review declares that "not more than
one in ten murderers are convicted, and
the worst murderers escape" The state
ment fsdeliberately made, and supported
by conclusive reasons. The cause is
found in the imperfections of law and
the faults of its administrators. There
are so many loop-holes for the guilty, it
is wonder how any are convicted

Letter From New Orleans.
ST.. CHARLES HoTEa,
New ORLEANS, Jan. 20, 1869.

Mn. EDITOR - Having little SPAR
time / take pleasure in giving YOU
readers a synopsis touching matters and
things in this section of the United
States.
| The weather is like early May in VI
Many trees are in blossom, and leaves
starting. The weather is genial, balmy
and delicious. Overcoats are rarely
seen in the streets. The city is full Of
strangers.
The cotton crop Of the past season, has
and will bring more money, when all
sold, than any other crop ever before
raised in this country. The two previ-
Gus years twas nearlya failure, so much
so that all northern men who went into
it (tho raising Of cotton, lost all. The
cotton planters are jubilant and bouyant
for the future. Every effort will be
made to plant largely this season. Mon
ey is very plenty in consequence of high
prices and mules which could barely be
sold for sixty to seventy-five dollars last
year, go quick now at two hundred to
two hundred and fifty dollars each.-
Most of the slow work in this city and
on the plantations is done with mules.
The sugar and molasses crops are also
paying largely. 1t takes fortune in
the east to start a sugar plantation here.
The seed to plant anacre for sugar, costs
about fifty dollars. The cane itself is
laid down and grows from the eyes at
the joints hence, is costly. All property
(real estate) in city and country is adj
vancing rapidly. Not much sale of real
estate property since 1866, until now,
consequently much property which could
not be sold, is now being sold. Planta-
tions have doubled in their prices since
last year. Six brick buildings in this
city sold at sheriff's sale, for cash, a few
days since, at seven thousand dollars
each, which were rented at the time of
sale for one hundred and fifty dollars
per month for each tenement, and in a
very growing part of the city where,
probably they will be worth double in A
or years. / think there is a great OPP
portunity to make money in this city in
real estate, but it takes money and brains
to do it.
Politically the people are not settled,
though | am thoroughly of the opinion
that the Democrats will rule most of the
southern states, after the excitement of
reconstruction is over.
The La. Legislature is now in session
in this city. The 1t Gov. and Presi-
d ent of the Senate, is full blooded AT
rican, by descent, and several of the
Senators are negroes. In the House,
some twenty-five or thirty negroes have
seats, and both Senate and House are
rowdy concerns compared with the
Vt. Legislature. White men who min.
slo G~ooly with negroes cannot have
much respect for themselves, is the only
way | can account for such arowdy, noisy
Legislature.
Northern men W ere never, probably,
so safe or so much welcomed and respect.
ed in the South as now. There isno such
thing here now as caste in consequence
OF inheriting negro property. No f. F.
vs., hence, none of thatjealousy towards
the money making Yankee. The wal
was invaluable as an equalizer in brak-
ing down all caste in our country.
