The Texas Election.
There is much comment in political
circles over the fact that the Texas Leg
islature adjourned without making provi-
son for the election of members of Com
gress the coming fall. No appropriation
was made for expenses, and this is con-
strued as a desire of the Radicalsto throw
every possible impeachment in the way of
an election, because they see power Slip
ping from their grasp. The Conservatives
are not to be deferred, but will hold an
election in spite of the Legislature.
Tobacco stamps.
The Acting Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has ruled that the Government
= will not replace with new stamps those
that have been destroyed or mutilated,
after the removal of the packages to which
stamps were affixed from the factory or
place where the tobacco was made, unless
removed in bond to an export bonded
warehouse. The law requires prepay
ment of tax by means of stamps which
becomes an element in fixing prices of to-
bacco, in effecting insurance policies,
bills OF lading, etc. Sales of tobacco
will be permitted where the stamps are
accidentally destroyed, but in no case will
new stamps be supplied for old ones;
also, that bitters, put up as medicines or
medicinal preparations, and stamped ac-
cOrdDg TO their price or value, may be
sold under dealers or apothecaries' special
tax receipts without receipt as liquor deal
ers.
Georgia
A lett.r from Georgia states that the
feeling is gaining ground very rapidly in
that State among Democrats and Con-
serva ives against placing in nomination
for Con rress persons who are ineligible
under the statutes now in force. While
they will sacrifice nothing of principle,
they are anxious to avoid the difficulties
and dangers that might attend the organic
alton of the next House if obnoxious men
are sent TO Congress. They will carefully
oppose any action that is likely 10 jeOpar-
die the interests of the State or of the
Conservative party.
Registered Letters.
The Postofice Department has issued
circular relative to registered letters,
which will produce muCh-needed reform
in the registering system. Heretofore,
when a registered letter was not called for
by the person to whom it was addressed,
IL %
be from there returned to the writer, pro
vided the name or address could be dis
covered. This plan resulted in consider
able delay, at leas'; and to Obviate the
sane, and provide for the direct return of
''uncalled for letters to the writer there
of, the department directs that the Post
master receiving a registered letter shall
require the sender to write his name and
address, plainly upon the end of the en-
YelOpe, in the same way as business men
print their names and a1dreE ses upon
their business envelopes. After letter
remains in an office for thirty days with
out being called for, it is then returned
to the office from which sent, the Post
mater of which will endeavOr 10 return 1t
to the writer. IL he cannot be found,
the letter is then to be sent to the Dead
Letter Office, where it will be opened and
perused for some clue to the changed To-
cation of the writer, as in the case of all
letters sent to that office.
The Indians.
Capt. John A. Craig, Agent for the
Cherokee Indians, has made report TO
the Indian Bureau in relation TO the re-
ported difficulties between the Delaware
and Cherokee nations, in which one of
the CLerOkees named Cocoa was killed by
Delaware named ROgaSs Capt. Craig
says the best feeling prevails generally be
tween the better class of people of the two
nations, and that these qusrrels are only
between very bad families, nearly or quite
white, and that they have no more signiti-
canoe than a quarrel among neighbOrs in
the rural districts of the white settlements,
The question of nationality was not at all
involved, and the disturbance was not OF
a serious character.
