MAIL FAILURES.

Mail failures are proverbially, and
have been from, time immemorial, or as
the black letter law books have it, Man
memory runneth not to the contrary,
among the most fruitful sources of an
noyance, discomfort and cause of COM
plant. There is scarcely an individual
who has not been at some time incom-
NODDED by this vexatious Inconvenience.
One of the chief merits of public con-
veyance is regularity, and with celebrity
and dispatch comprises its main advan-
tages. Take away or dispense with
these, and the mail service especially
becomes a nuisance rather than public
benefaction. Business men, perhaps
more than others, are annoyed by want
of promptness and regularity; although
where friends feel deep anxiety and So
licitude about the health of loved ones,
and look for the daily bulletin with eager
expectancy, the failure of the mail is
anything but agreeable, and should
receive immediate attention from
those most concerned, whom we take to
be the contractors, if their sins of omis-
sion are properly visited upon them. By
contractors We do not mean only the
conveyers Of the mail, but postmasters,
who are the agents of Uncle Samuel
who bargains for so much to provide a
regular and prompt medium of commu-
nication. If these fail in the perform
ance of duty, their heads and the basket
should make familiar acquaintance.
There is no other way to enforce or per-
suade punctuality. These thoughts sug-
gested themselves by the frequent com
plants we hear from persons at Hot
Springs and their correspondents here,
between whom interruptions are of al
most daily occurrence. Where the oRus
of neglect lies, is not positively known,
but is believed to rest at Little Rock,
where is doubtless distributing Office
A mailbag forwarded from Hot Springs
should be opened there, and its contents
dispatched to their respective places of
destination, or the bag might be care
lessly overlooked and permitted to re-
main uninspected in its remote and OBJ
scure corner. This latter will account
for the fact that letters from this city,
addressed to persons sojourning at Hot
Springs, rarely reach them on time, and
rice cersa Where they are in relation
to invalids such failures are absolutely
distressing, and where businers matters
are interrupted they are without apology.
We make this public notice of this neg
lect and irregularity, which occur so FREE
quently, that the public convenience may
be subserved by Immediately applying
the remedy. Wherever the fault lies,
let the great ak fall.

all this unknown to the people until too
late to even demonstrate. So the city

The Thunderer OF May 2Sth has a
furious article relative to the ringleaders
of the recent Fenian fasco. 1t says of
the capture of ONeill by the United

The United States Marshal has seized

fraction of the neutrality laws of the
Union, and it is manifest that not only
he, but all his associates, have put them
selves in peril Of the law. The course
already pursued by President Grant as
sures us that there will be no delay on
the part of the executive government in
prosecuting O'Neill, and It will be the
daty Of our representative at Washing

WASHINGTON.
Relations Between the u. =. Gov
eminent and Cuba. f


WASHINGTON, June l3.-The majority
and minority reports of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, presented in the
House to-day in pamphlet form, convey
altogether different views Of, and differ
essentially from, the garbled extracts
heretofore published with regard to the
relations between the U. S. Government
and Cuba. In the majority report
Banks, Wood, Wilkinson, Sheldon and
Swon conclude it to be the right and
duty of our Government to take cogni-
zance of the struggle of the Cubans, to
recognize them as belligerents, TO main
tain and declare impartial neutrality, to
give to both the same advantage of inter-
course and trade with the United States,
and urges remonstrance on the part of
the President against the barbarouss
manner in which the war is conducted
by the Spanish Government.
Orth, Judd, Amber and Willard, com
prisingth minority, do not concurin the
report in the recommendation of the
majority in asking the approval by the
House of the joint resolution covering
the above point. The passage of a sub
stitute bill making it misdemeanor for
the equiping of ships of war, for service
of any European power, or for the sub
ingation of American colonies claiming
independence, anywhere within the
United States, under penalty of seizure
and forfeiture.
The minority express the opinion that
no Cuban revolutionary government ex-
lists outside of the insurgent bands now
confined to the smaller and more noun
famous parts of the island; and that,
therefore, the Government of the United
States cannot properly recognize their
existence or rights as belligerents. They
advise that the Government should, how
ever, maintain strong naval force in
Cuban waters for the protection Of
American citizens.
Secretary Fish presented the evidence
taken in the San Domingo investigation
on Saturday evening, together with the
correspondence of Peran, the Domini-
can agent, protesting against the conces-
sion of lands subsequent to the negotia-
ton of the treaty. The Secretary insists
that Babcock would have transcribed
his authority had he asked of the Do
minican Government the release of
Hatch.

LEGISLATIVE TTEXERING WITH SHELL
BY COUNTY, AND THE CIRCUIT
COURTS.

1t seems probable that some secret in
huence is at work in the Legislature to
change the jurisdiction Of the Circuit

Memphis. The act passed in the early
part Of the session, recognizing the ju-
dietary Of the county, established three
Circuit Courts in the county, two to sit
at Memphis and one at Bartlett A bin
now pending proposes to arrange anew
an the judicial circuits Of the State; aud
provides according to the newspaper
phraseclogy of IT. that the Fifteenth
circuit shall comprise the city Of Mem
phis. with the two courts as now organ
lied hy law" The obvious meaning Of
that is, that the city Of Memphis that
is the territory embraced within the city
Iimitsl. shall compose the Fifteenth
circuit. This is made more probable by
another part Of the bill, which provides
thai The Fourteenth circuit shall CON-
pr;se the couuiics Of Fayeiie, Bartlett

An Attractive Residence For Sale.


TIME UNDERSIGNED ARE AUTHORIZED
Il TO offer at private sale very desirable
house and lot at Oak Lawn formerly Buntyn
station). five miles from Memphis. on Memphis
and Charleston railroad. The lot contains six
acres, well inclosed, half cleared and half in
original growth of oak and elm; beautifully
located, and sloping in every direction from
the building site. The dwelling house con-
tains two large and two small rooms con-
structed so as to admit of enlargement at
small outlay. There are, besides, kitchen,
servants room, lock ROOM COW house and
wood shed. Within the last two years ten or
fifteen persons, engaged in professional and
mercantile pursuits in Memphis, have built in
this locality. The facilities which the rail-
road offers are now such as to make this point
more convenient for the residence of business
men than the immediate suburbs Of the city.
There is not more refined society to be found
within or without the .city-the locality Is
healthy and picturesque churches and schools
are convenient. No neghborhood around
Memphis can pretend to offer such advantages,
and the lands adjacent are, in consequen6e,
rapidly approaching in value.

hearted lady, who was walking behind
her. and understood the situation, at
this moment hurried up alongside, aud
whispered to her that she was losing.

to turn into friendly stairway near by
to repair damages but just as she put
her foot on the doorway, an enormous

number, dropped from her skirts and
