NJ Atis to Texas.

Captain W. A. Ssylor, the special agent
of the Postoftice Department for Louisiana
and Texas, is now in this City and is anxious,
! as a faithful officer ought to be, to promote
| mail facilities between New Orleans and
Texas. Under the present contract with
Morgan there are now four mails week for
six months in the year, including the winter
season, and three mails a week for the re-
manning six months, between New Orleans
and Galveston. There is, however, q daily
mail to Brashear City.
Texas is itself an empire Of territory,
and there is every reason for comforting
upon her citizens : the most liberal
mail facilities. Texas is now fully
reconstructed and readmitted into the
Union, and it is not, ng but mat.
ter of justice that the Importance of her
position should be recognized, and that a
daily mail should be provided for. It is
practicable; it is just; it is demanded by
business interests and by the whole people,
not only of Texas, but New Orleans and
other commercial emporiums. We hope
Captain Ssylor's Recommendations may by
needed, and daily mail speedily estab-
iisheQ.

Changes Among His Subordinate

Changes n m0nX HIS 8ubOrdtn0tcs.
We notice that Mr.. Charles Clinton, AS
sistant Treasurer, has made several import
ant changes in the force of his department
Mr.. J. Seymour Walton having been >ap-
pointed to an important position in the
Louisiana Savings Bank, c. D. Sturtevant
Esq, has been advanced to the place Of
receiving teller, thus made vacant. Mr.
Sturtevant is young gentleman who has
an excellent reputation for efficiency and
honesty. He has been long while in
this department, and has always performed
his duties to the satisfaction of every one.
The position made vacant by the promo
ton OF Mr.. Sturtevant, chief book keeper,
has been filled by the appointment of Mr.
J. Fl. Fl. Taylor, who was late assistant
book-keeper. Mr.. Taylor, though quite a
young man, has shown his qualifications for
the new place given him. He was for q
long while employed by Senator Kellogg,
when Collector in the Customs Department,
aud was removed by Perry Fuller, when he
at once received q place in the treasury.
A. FL. Hodge, Esq, receives the place OF
assistant book-keeper. Mr.. Hodge is well
known in the city as an honest and faithsll
man.
All Of these gentlemen are thorough and
consistent Republicans. We congratulate
Mr.. linton, who in this, as in other mat
tiers relating to his Office. has done well.

NEW APPOINTMENT AND TRANSFER

The suhjoined letters, received by Gov
ernor Warmoth from Messrs. J. Fl. Oglesby
and Bernard Soulie, give the reasons why
they feel compelled to decline the appoint
ments rendered them:
Letter from 3Gr. Oglesby.
New ORLEANS, March 20, 1870.
To His Fxcelency Governor II. @. Warmoth:
SIR have the honor to acknowledge
receipt to day of your favor of twenty
sixth, conveying the information of my ap-
pointment TO the responsible position OF
Mayor of this city. beg to thank you for
this evidence of your esteem and confidence.
Impressed as / am With the arduous duties
OF the Office, doubtful of my ability to per-
form them, together with the fact that my
time is already SO fully occupied in the dis
charge of duties and trusts which can
neither be laid aside nor neglected, ana
constrained to decline acceptance Of the
very honorable position you offered me.
To rescue our city from financial embar-
rassment, improve its streets and wharves,
and restore its lost commerce, calls for no
ordinary ability and energy, and no one
should accept the position unless prepared
to devote his undivided time to the good
work.
Trusting such one may be selected and
that success may crown his efforts. I have
the honor to remain yours, respectfully.
J. H. OGLE5BY.

SIR receive with deep gratitude the

my heartfelt acknowledgements.
It would afford me infinite satisfaction to

ton, have reluctantly come to the conclu-
SION that the state of my health, added 20
the weight Of my private affairs would not
permit me to fu fill the arduous duties of
the situation you have been pleased to call
me to in a manner to justify your choice.
l, therefore, beg you will accept my resigna-
ton of the Office of Administrator of the
Department of the Wsterworks and Public
Buildings under the new city charter, and
subscribe myself,
You much obliged and obedient servant,
BERNARD SOULIE.
