CONVICTED BY THE Chicago

a registered letter which had been for
warded to Chicago from one of the coun-
try post-otiices was tampered with at
some point on the route. Upon ar.
riving at its point ot destination, five
one hundred dollar bills, which ought to
have been in the envelope, were not To he

hands of a skillfu. detective for investiea
tion. Upon soaking the envelope, he
discovered where it had been open and
re-sealed. He then examined the muci-
lage with microscope and saw that
small particles of plug tobacco adhered to
the paper At once the officer resolved
TO tack the letter back through the
various offices, and to see who of the
government employees, that had handled
the letter, chewed plug. For some time
his case looked like hopeless one. The
post-ofiice clerks nearly all used tine-cut
Finally, in the very Office in which the
letter was mailed, the postmaster offered
the detective some plug in response to a
request for chew, and, as if the unfor-
tunate official was bent upon his own re-
elimination, he remarked that he had
never chewed anything else but plug"
Upon this statement the detective ran
the risk and arrested the surprised
countryman, not for chewing plug iobac-

mail. Upon searching the office the miss

old-fashioned daguerotype case. The

A favorite English amusement just
now is to examine the cars of the peo-
Pile one meets, in order to discover
whether they bear the "mark of the
beast" which Darwin has discovered.
He says that the pointed tip of the ear
of our monkey progenitors is inherited
by not few men, only considerably dis
guised in fact, quite different from the
pointed ears of tauns and satyrs. 1t
may be detected in the rim of the ear,
and about one-quarter OF the distance
from the top, where there is sometimes
found an enlargement of the rim, max

Third District Republicnu CIub.-At


meeting of the Third District Central Republican
Club, held the ninth instant, the following reso
lutons. after spirited debate, were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is essential to the success of the
Republican party in this State that spirit of har
mOny, and a true desire to promote the general
good of the same, should exist among all its lead
ers and
Whereas, The Republicans of the Third District
are DESTROYS OF retaining and cutivatIng the same
spirit of amity and good will toward each other
that has heretofore existed, and TO which may be
attributed our political success in the past; and
Whereas, 1t is not consistent for those who claim
to be the friends ofberty and freedom to cultivate
spirit of ill will, and to practice and carry ont
system of prescription toward those who may have
heretofore entertained anti Republican sentiments;
ana '8 t'-
Whereas 1t is known that few Republicans in
this city perverting the power of the federal
patronage at their disposal for the purpose OF brna
ing about disruption i'll our ranks; and
Whereas, Said faction are now engaged in agitat-
ing the question of class and stirring pref udices
and putting forth every possible effort to bring the
official acts of portion of our State and city off
Gals into disrepute for no other purpose than to
effect their own personal ends; and
Whereas. 1t is wrong for US, as Republicans, to
agitate the dement's only forgetting the merltsl
of few of servants in office for the purpose of
pandering to the desires of those who by their own
official conduct have yet failed to recommend
themselves to us for positions OF any greater trust
than they now occupy; therefore be it
Resolved That in President U. s. Grant and
Governor II c. Warmoth we recognize true friends
of the principles of repubcanism, and pledge to
them our earnest support in the same.
Resolved That while we accord all due praise to
tnOSe heptbncanS their past services feHuefeu
to the party, shall not follow them now in their
unwarranted attempts to create disruption
among neither shall we give undue encourage
ment to their inordnate ambition.
Resolved That in view of the present heavy bur
den of taxation now resting upon us, system OF
economy and retrenchment should be inaugurated
by our present servants in office, and that every
effort known to be put forth by them to effect such
purpose shall be duly appreciated by the members
Of this organization and properly considered when
said parties may again be presented to us for our
support.
Resolved That we cordially invite all citizens of
this di, trict to join on the broad principles of
republicanism
Resolved That these resolutions be published in

The Fast Time to New York.

Since Colonel McComb has obtained full
control of the Jackson and the Mississippi
Central roads, the time between here and
New York has been reduced to three days,
against a few hours more than five days
previously. This is the result of energy,
displayed by man who knows how to
run a railroad, and who has sufficient pecu-
MARY interest in if to do this for the interest
of the owners. Since the Postmaster Gen
eral has ordered the mails to be carried
again by these fast lines, we receive letters
and papers from New York in three days.

+ ADVERTISING TABLE.-We witnessed last
evening specimen of enterprise and pro-
gress in the form of an advertising desk in
the gentlemen's parlor at the st. Charles.
This desk, which is certainly novelty, was
invented by Mr.. E. J. Byrd, and is highly
creditable to his ingenuity 1t consists of
an octangular desk from the centre of which
rises card rack of conical shape, made
to revolve by clock work. The face of the
desk is ornamented by beautiful signs on
glass, and above the conieal card rack are
smaller signs in the same style. 1t is, how
ever, very difficult to describe this new ad-
vertising medium with sufficient accuracy;
it must be seen to be fully appreciated.
Indeed, We believe that very few of our
business men would see this desk and not
come to the conclusion that it is a most ad-
mirable medium for advertising.
Everything about the desk is gotten up
in the best manner. The cabinet work and
the elegantly carved quadrupedal support
of the desk came from the cabinet manufac-
tory of Messrs. McCracken, mechanics and
workmen of whom our city may be proud.
S. Fournier, the celebrated horloger on
Royal street, furnished the cloekwork;
while our progressive friend J. o. Belknap,
of public fountain fame, did all the glass
painting; and Mr.. James Freret, the well
known architect, furnished the design. 1t
is certainly beautiful piece of furniture,
worthy of the most splendid parlor Any
business man, by the payment of small
sum, can largely benefit his business by
means of this desk.
Last evening the novelty was exhibited to
and elected the appreciation of number OF
prominent business men. The occasion was
celebrated by sparkling champagne, fur
nished by the liberality of Toulmin &
Martin, of Natchez street Toasts were
drank and speeches made, and after an hour
of hilarity the company separated.

Unity and SUCCESS.
From the Empire Parish Register


The New Orleans journal truthfully re-
marks: If Governor WarmOth had not
been the chief magistrate of our State
during the past two years the Republican
party would have already been driven from
power. and if he is not reelected in 1872,
the combinations which will produce that
result will also put the Democrats in
power" t'
The administrative capacity which Gov
ernor Warmoth has exhibited since his in
stallaton IN office, despite obstacles which
would have been insuperable to hating
or wavering line of conduct, so thoroughly
identifies him with the cause of the Repub-
lican party in this State that his renomina-
ton and reelection may be truly regarded
as political necessity, as well as fore
gone conclusion. s..#'f
Organizations for the successful applica-
ton and enforcement of political principles
in the affairs of government, require to be
not only compact but practical. They
must be harmonious in their workings-di-
rect and true to their mission. Political
combinations for purposes of government,
ere not visionary creations, nor do thew
exist in theory alone. They have a tangible
vitality. and their strength. while based
upon principles of Justice, must be main
tanned in that unbroken solidity which unity
alone insures. Unity of purpose, of action,
is to a great political party what a national
government is to a country. 1t is its shield
and its fortress. Discussions will coon grind
it INTO fragments. ...E
Republican principles, comprehensive
and just as they are, would not have so
signally achieved what has been accom-
plished in this State had it not been for. the
remarkable unity which has characterized
the Republican party In all its actions, I'M
der the accomplished leadership of the
present chief magistrate. ..n
The surest, perhaps the only safe rule for
the test OF merit, is success. Judged by
this rule, apart from any other, the ad-
ministration of Governor Warmoth has
| earned for him not only an increased at
tachment in the ranks of his own party,
but has commanded the open confidence OF
the influential and more considerable of his
| political opponents. f.
