objection to it is, that it is sometimes
mistaken for a fifty-cent stamp, owing
to it's large size.

A Lost REsoLUrIoN.-The Joint
Resolution to impeach ex-Trcasurer
Parker, for the illegal issue of bends
passed both Houses, bat failed t.
reach the Governor in time for his
ratification. The Union-Herala gives
tho following explanation:
I'm this case, we understand that
the joint resolution, in it's original
form, never reached the Governor, or
his private secretary. 1tappears that
when it was discovered TO have tccn
lost, another copy was was engrossed,
signed by the President of tho Sem
ate and Speaker Of the House, which
was handed to the private secretary
by Mr.. Maxwell, the chairman on en-
rolled bills, and u receipt taken there.
for. The Governor, we are author
ICED to say. did not receive it until
after the Legislature adjourned, and
could, therefore, take no cognizance
of it. The joint resolution, therefore,
falls to the ground, and the will of
the Legislature is defeated. The
only parties as we understand it, who
handle an Act or joint resolution af:
ter ratification are the presiding Off
GERS of the two houses, the reading
clerk, the clerk, the Chairman Of the
Committee on Enrolled Bills, or any
member of tho committee who may
b. acting at the timo in the Senate,
the Governor and his private sccre-
tary. Somewhere, in tie handling
of this resolution, it has been lost
exactly how or where VIC do not pre-.
tend to say. At any rate, it is dead.

Murderers Lynched in Franklin Parish.

Several weeks ago the REPUBLICAN gave
the details of horrible crime on Bayou
Macon, near its junction with the Tensas,
wherein Mr. Arbuckle was murdered in
the presence of his wife, and his aatboat
robbed by three young men. They were
subsequently identified One of them, named
Lewis, managed to escape, while two
brothers. named A. B. and Thomas L.
Norris. were arrested and incsrcerated at
WinnsbOro. These young men-twenty and
twenty-four years OF age, respectively
were connected with some of the most re-
spectacle families of the parish, and their
crime has excited an unusual amount Of
indignation. This feeling eliminated, last
Saturday, in a party of some thirty dis
guised men visiting the jail, disarming the
keeper, taking the brothers to convenient
tree and lynching them into eternity. with,
out benefit of clergy or moments respite
for repentance. The record of Franklin
parish has for years been black with assas-
sinations and murders, but this latest crime
has been unknown in the parish since the

The New state House.

Matters will soon begin to assume ahEeiy
aspect in and around the St. Louis Hotel
the new State House. The Governor yes
terday gave orders to have the executive
department transferred from Dryade
street to 81. Louis street, and they are
being faithfully carried out. It is not i'm
probable that the Governor and the at
taches of his office viii be comfortably en-
sconced in their new and handsomely fitted
up quarters to-day, as the work OF renov-
ing was commenced yesterday.
The Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of
State, Board of STATE Engineers, and other
State officials, had also given orders to have
the furniture, etc, Of their offices moved to
the apartments assigned them in the new
State House, and their orders were also
being executed yesterday. There will be
ample and convenient accommodations for
every department of the State government
in the new State House, including commit
tee rooms for the legislative department.
The Senate Chamber and the hall OF the
House of Representatives will be both eie-
CANT and spacious, and are we'll adapted for
the ora:orical displays that are usual In
law-making assemblies. The Senate Cham
Der will present an appearance of grandeur
when completed that will be well calculated
to inspire lofty thoughts in the minds of the
representatives of the people that will as
semble in the higher branch OF the Legisla-
ture to make laws.
II will take some time to Get every de-
partment of the government, including the
Supreme Court and the Board Of Educa-
ton, located in their new quarters, but
when once there, and everything in work
ing order, it will not only prove great
public convenience, but it will vastly i'm
prove business in the neighborhood Of the
new State House.

such absence the sets of the acting Governor
would be of unqueationable validity. Any
thing less than this might create confusion

view that the Lieutenant Governor or

1t is therefore ordered that the Judgment

Money For the Teachers.

The hearts of the teachers Of the public
schools will be giaddensd BY the notice in
another column from Superintendent
Boothby, to the effect that the rolls for the
month of January will be paid on Saturday
next, at Lyceum Hall. Tae officers of the
Department of Finance, a. the City Hall,
predict their ability to pay two additional
months within the next thirty days. We
hope sincerely that their belief may be
realized, for the embar easements Of the
teachers for the past few months, from the
absence of funds to pay them, have been
unusually severe.
