- The future whereabouts of
the Post Office, seems to be matter
of considerable doubt and anxiety
to some of our citizens, but where
ever that may be, all we are certain
will be satisfied, if its BUSINESS is
carried on as satisfactorily and ef-
1ciently in the future as it has been
in the past. We have had consider
able experience in Post Offices and
Post Masters, having filed the posi-
ton of P. NJ. ourselves, both here
and in Opelousas, and therefore
we know how difficult and almost
impossible it is to please everybody,
and we must say of our retiring
young friends here, that they came
nearer accomplishing that positive
impossibility, than any one we have
ever known, including Of course our.
selves in the number, and we sim
cerely hope their next. enterprise
may prove equally as successful and
ten times as renumerative.

The JEWEL RE-sET.-Our Jolly
faced, portly and popular friend
Neal, or Bill Neal as he is generally
called has, we notice deserted the
gloomy and unpromising precincts
of the Court House for a more lively
and exhilerating atmosphere, and can
now be found dispensing his genial
amenities and cooling liquidities, at
the Jewel Saloon. Neal is q good
fellow ont and out, and more he il a
connoisieur and knows what is good
and keeps it always on hand, and
besides, these, no has other and
tceigAty claims to the patronage OF
his friends in particular, and the
world in general.

The LA. STATE REGIsTER.-We
assure our friend Collins, of the
above sterling and influential jour-
nal, that we duty appreciate his
friendly and complimentary notice
of us a short time since, and warm
ly and sincerely reciprOcate his
good wishes. We observe that the
city papers in their notices of the
death of Mr.. Tabor, formerly asso.
ciated with Mr.. Collins, in the edi-
torship of the Register, all agree in
according to it the praise Of being
one of the ablest, most influential
and impartial papers Published in
the State, not excepting even those
of the Crescent City itself.

The WEATHER, CROPS AND THE

HE WEATHER, CROPS AND THE
RIvER.-After the wearisome, de-
pressing and disastrous wet spell,
Providence has at last vouchsafed
us a week Of glorious weather, gen.
orally clear and breezy, with only a
sprinkle or two of rain, though at
times progressively warm. Under
this most welcome change all kinds
of vegetation has improved, except
grass in the crops, which has ex'
perienced a very preceptible down
fall as well a the river, for both Of
which blessing all should be duly
thankful.

CcS WItmOuG VHMCCIos
In no parish in the State as LAT
as we know, or can learn from our
exchanges, does such an anomalous,
vexatious, ruinous and disgraceful
state of affairs exist, in regard to
judicial and parochial business as
Rapides now presents. We have
no District Judge or at least none
who fulfils even the most easily per.
formed though at this time ex.
tremely important duties and re-
quirements Of his position, as a
sworn officer of the judiciary, the
granting of orders and rules in
chambers.
The Parish Judge has held no
regular term of his court since his
election and the reception o. his
commission, and is only heard of &C.
casionly, when trying at intervals,
and by sufferance sit would seem,
some trivial and uninteresting pro-
ceeding.
The Sheriff it is true is always on
hand, ready to perform any service
required of him, and appears 20 be
recognized by all parties as Sheriff
de lure and de facto, but there is
nothing for him to do, as the Clerks
Office is locked up, the key disap.
peared, and no earthly way appar-
emily existing to open it. The Re-
corder's Office is somewhat in the
same condition, though not quite so
muchly, the de facto recorder or hia
deputy some times being seen in
side playing recorder at any rate,
whilst the de jure one peeps in now
ard then, feasting his eyes on the
promised but still forbidden land
Why is all this so might be asked
and also might be answered, "becas'
ones afeard and the other daresent,'
! that is one side is afraid to give NJ
openly and effectually on accoun
| of public opinion, and the other j
afraid to proceed without the an
thority of the law, which there is N
one here, bold enough to define ant
