Mr.. Ei,tor:-I judge the contest bctwcen
the dferent canddpies for Representative
from this District is waxing so,gcI la. warm;
at least, 1t would seem so from the efforts
that &C being made by the friends Of each,
TO further tie interests Of their capl date
But was not q little surprised to discover
t!at several Of our county officials had be-
come so much interested in the contest, as
10 lca7e the post Of duty, and we're running
over the county advocating the claius OF
some Of the candidates -
Now. il seems TO me, when we elect mon
to Office. we have right to expect them to
spend their time looking after the county's
interests. We can't afford to pay them four
TO five dollars day 10 spend their time 70.
some man who wants TO 60 to Congress
The people have right to expect tllat the
time Of county officials will be given to the
county, and those who refuse nov 10 do that,
ough. TO be regulated a. the frs; oppor,u>
nifty Let US, then, tax payers. when our
county officers are found spending their time
elc,ioneering for men for Office, make a note
Of i.-stick . pin right therc--and when
ticse chaps come around asking for re-elec-
ton, let us cast them out, and put Eomc one

when we pay Elen four to FIVE dollars d ~

All her window blinds we're down and some
plapks off her wheel house, and she seemed
to be flying through the water. Neither
boat landed here. A party went out to the
Natchez in a small steamer, on their re-
turn report that the Natchez claims to have
utes last night.
The Lees time from New Orleans to this
place, forty seven hours thirty-six minutes.
the fastest time on record. The Natchez
says her time is one hour and half faster
than last trip. Lee cheered with her
whistle when she passed, and was answered
by two steamers laying at the wharf and
the multitude of people on the shore. Those
who think the Natchez laid up thirty-six
minutes last night are still betting on her.

Natchez one hour and four minutes behind

THE RIVAL RIVER STEAMERS
The Lee and Natchez Contest
UNDATED EXCITEMENT YESTERDAY

The excitement yesterday over the great
steam boat race between the Robert E. Lee
and Natchez continued unabated. But no
intelligence was received, until nearly seven
O'Clock in the evening, later than was pub
lished in the morning.
The first dispatch received here reported
that the Lee passed Helena, Arkansas, fifty
four minutes ahead OF the Natchez, the
Lee passing at 4:3O and the Natehez at 5:24
in the afternoon. A later dispatch states
that the Lee went flying through the water,
aud that her window blinds were down
and her wheelhouse partially dismantled.
The Natchez lost thirty.six minutes on
account of breaking her pump, but she
made the run to Helena an hour and half
faster than on her last trip up. Parties
were sill betting on the Natchez at Helena
yesterday.
At this hour, one o'clock A. NJ, We have
no dispatches reporting the arrival of either
