Postal Telegraph in the Legislature

Senator Cassidy's concurrent resolu-
zion, memorializing Congress for the
adoption of a postal telegraph, has
been passed, and our State, like New
York, has gone upon the record,
through our representatives, in favor
Of Government telegraphing. Hav-
ing consistently advocated this be.
inefficient measure from the commence
ment of the agitation on the subject,
we feel exceedingly pleased with the
attitude of our Legislature toward the
project, and with the encouraging pros.
pect of its enactment by the national
Congress. Petitions for the postal
telegraph are pouring in upon that
body from all quarters of the Union,
and from every class of the people.
Even the New York Herald, although
. member of the Associated Press.
cannot resist the tide of popular
opinion, and has expressed a decided
ly favorable idea of the proposed re-
form. So has the Alta, of San Fran
cisco; and the telegraph monopo-
ly lave gone so far in the
case of the latter paper as to
refuse dispatches over their line for
publication in that sheet. We hope
the legislative bodies in every State in
the Union will give expression to the
desire of the people by memorializing
(.ONCress in favor of the pOStal tele-
graph, in the same emphatic manner
as New York and Nevada have done

WILL He RESIGN-.In lengthy COM
munication to the Reno Crescent, some
time last Autumn, Senator Stewart,
while giving TO the public an elaborate
defense OF his action in opposing the
bill before Congress, donating the
swamp and overlooked lands within
Our limits to the State, openly de-
clared that if, after free and full dis
%cuSsiOn, and when the merits of the
measure were fully understood, the
Legislature should still instruct him
to support the measure, he would
either obey their instructions or re-
sign his seat in the United States Sem
ate. The Senator's elaborate showing
in opposition to the bill seems to have
had but slight weight with the Legis-
lature, as we see they have again
passed concurrent resolutions instruct
ing our Senators to have the benefits
oftheAlkansas sw am and overlooked
land act extended to Nevada. Sen
ator Stewart must therefore, accord
ing to his own declaration, either sup
port the bill or resign his seat. Our
people, however, need feel no appre-
hension that he will do the latter, as
United States Senators never resign.

THE Petaluma Cali Argus, of Feb
ruary s, says: Judge Caleb Burbank,
of this city, was this morning taken
to the Insane ASYLUM at Stockton by
Deputy Sheriff Hedges. This was in
accordance with his W request, and
by order of Judge Overton. 1t seems
that at times the Judge has an irresis-
tible desire to take his own life or
that of those around him, and it was
deemed better that he should he
llaced where he could be properly
treated for the malady.

Massacre, made the following state
ment in regard to a little girl saved
from the massacre, but who was af-
forwards killed by the Mormons :
'She had recognized her mothers
dress on a Mormon oma at Cedar
City. The child was at once suspect
ed of knowing too much to be permit
ted to live. A counsel of the priest
hood was called, who took her out to a
convenient place, and after consider
ing her case, doomed her to die. \
priest, who had received his 'endow-
ments,' was ordered then and there to
execute the sentence. He seized her,
dashed her upon the ground, planted
his knee upon her abdomen, with his
left hand seized her by the hair, and
with the other hand drew his knife
and cut her throat"

A FROLIC.-Saturday evening, two
weeks since, the members of the st.
Joseph Brass Band, having secured
the fine large wagon of the Ascension
Band for the purpose, visited the resi-
dence of Hon. C. n. Lewis, in the first
ward, where they partook of a boun-
tiful supper prepared for the occa-
sion. On the way to their place of
destination, the boys awoke the echoes
ofthe surrounding country and brought
the inhabitants to the roadside In
gaping wonder, by playing several
selections from their musical repertoire.
Arriving at Mr.. Lewis they found
that gentleman ready to receive them
with his usual pleasant smile, and
after preliminary serenade they at
tackled the edibles with appetites
sharpened by the long ride, and of
course enjoyed the repast hugely.
Several hours were spent with their
host in q most agreeable manner and
then the members of the band again
mounted the red wagon and returned
home filled with pleasant recollectlons
Of their frolic.

Sylvester Lemieux, the colored man
who was arrested upon suspicion OF
having committed the larency at the
house of his employer, VIM. Bostick,
but subsequently discharged, left for
New Orleans, it was supposed, upon
the steamer VIM. S. Pike last Sunday
night, and many looked upon his sud
den departure as proof Of his guilt.
Bostick at once applied to the Sheriff
for d deputy to be sent in pursuit of
Lemieux, and Nathan Hayes was des-
ignated for the task. Lemieux rather
upset the suspicious against him by
returning to town upon the cars next
day, he having gone as faras St. James.
The deputy sheriff, ignorant Of Lem
ieux's return, left for New Orleans on
the cars Monday, but Of course did
not find the object Of the search. The
Grand Jury has examined into the
Bostick robbery, but failed to find a
true bill against Lelnieux or to dis
cover the perpetrator.

A great amount of rain has fallen
this week, entirely too much to please
the planters. The shower of Tuesday
was one of the heaviest we have ever
witnessed. We noticed that along the
line Of the railroad some Of tie cane
and corn had been nearly blown down
by the heavy winds and the beating
of the rain, while many acres Of the
lower lands were completely covered
with water. We believe the damage
to crops in this parish has been very
light.
