to the Governor of Arkansas, Mr.. Nor.
ton, chairman of the Committee Of Eiec.
tions and Privileges, considered his duty in

Colonel Young. collector at Raleigh, had
an interview with the President to day. The
name of his competitor having been with.

fully re-established in his place.
strong fight is being made against Ad.
kins. an aspirant TO the office of collector
of customs at Savannah. Townsend
cashier of the customhouse. is indorsed for
collector by Messrs. Boutwell, and Dick
Yates.
Townsend was an officer in BOutwell's
department. and was sent to assist Colonel
Robb. the collector. in the management of
t office.

had voted for Caseys confirmation to move
a reconsideration of the vote. A new vote
was had. resulting still favorably to Casey.
This fixes him in his place.
Mr.. West made desperate fight against
Casey in the face of his certain contirma
ton. The large majority of the latter is
attributable to good personal feeling on the
part of the Democrats.
Colonel George A. Williamson, of Shreve.
port prominently mentioned for foreign
mission, is in close and important CONNER.
cial relations with Louisiana.

Benefit of MIR. Lorraine Rogers.

II is very kind in Miss Charlotte Thomp-
son to come all the way down here from her
home in New York TO volunteer her profess
siona! services in the play Of Jane Eyre"
on the occasion OF the benefit Of Mr. Lor-
aine Rogers tomorrow evening. Perhaps
it is the natural offering of a devoted wife
to her equally devoted husband, and per-
haps the knowledge Of that fact may
prompt many of Charlotte Thompson's ad
mirers to Join with her in paying tribute to
the merits Of a worthy man. whose only
weakness is modesty. The friends of Mr..
Rogers have already manifested their az
probation of him by securing seats for this
testimonial benefit. There are, however. a
few more seats left.

st. Tammany Parish.

We learn from Captain Pjppo. tie enec.
getic and accommodating master of the
schooner which bears his name, that he has
this season brought from Covington. St.
Tammany parish. 81. bales Of cotton. twen-
ty-hve hogsheads of sugar. twenty five bar
rels of moiasses, 1000 barrels OF tar. TWEEN
ty-tive bales of hides. besides nearly one
hundred thousand barrels of sand. We
call this pretty good business for one vesse!
and not bad production tor the parish. and
should certainly encourage the captain to
pu. steamer on the line. for We fee: as
sured that the same promptitude in Du5.
ness and kindliness of department evinCed
by him in his management of hi. schooner
would at once enable him to :nOnopol:ze
the passengers as he almost does che freight
from COvington and the other points on the
Tchefuncta.
1t will be noticed that sugar and Ino'asses
are set down among the products of ST.
Tammany, and although the amount is
comparatively insignificant. still It shows
that this product can be raised IN the high
lands as well as in the swamps OF our State.
and we have heard it asserted bT good au-
thority that the day would We: come when
the culture OF sugar cane in the pine hills
agross the lake would be one of the most
important of its agricultural interests. as
there It can be entered into with less CAPT
tai and carried on with lighter labor. ehile
the salubriOus climate makes that region
far preferable to the swamp for place of
residence. At all events, we see that
start has been made, and the enterprise las
our heartiest wishes for its success.

Hon. Trasimond Landry, who holds a
commission from our passive Governor as
tax collector of this parish, endeavored this
week to qualify for the Office by filing a
bend of $50, 900 for the faithful performance
of the duties Of the position, as required by
law. The security furnished by him was
unexceptionable. but the recorder, clerk OF
the court and president of the police jury
could not accept the bond, because the com.
missiOn held by the claimant of the position
did not emanate from the legal Governor of
the State, and act No. IL of the recent SEES

Ihefe Is something cheerful IN this eX-
tract from the Donaldsonville Chief:
The latest news we have concerning our
railroad is that a new set of men have taken
hold Of it and will renew the suspended
work of construction in a week or ten davs
and push the road through to Texas within
the extension Of years time accorded by
the General Assembly at its recent session
The creditors who placed the road and roll
ing stock that are above Bayou Lafourchs
under seizure have been satisfied. and the
deputy United States marshal who was
guarding the seized property has, we are
informed, relinGuished possession and de-
parted whence he came. Orders have been
received by the contractor who is building
this section of the railroad to lay track
over the new bridge and prepare that struc-
ture for immediate use. This important
work will probably be commenced Monday
next, and as soon as it is finished we may
look for the rapid extension of our great
iron thoroughfare toward the Texas border.
