The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepay eat on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed. We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses. tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
er The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name 1DiI be entered unLess the su6scrip-
ton is paid for in advance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,
with statement Of his account. Many have
responded with remttances discharging their
liabilities snd paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay, after the first of January. 1870,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid in advance. The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
ances duo and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

NEW YORK, May "A special dispatch
from Little Rock says three OF Baxter's
troops were killed in the battle of New
Gascony. Captain Vandesande, one of the
leaders ON the side Of Brooks was danger
ouslv wounded. He had been colonel in
the federal army. o..
The Gazette remarks editorially that the
war has opened, and will extend through
out the State unless the President takes
speedy action in the matter. Sheriff Vaughn
was arrested yesterday by King White and
imprisoned. The city is getting rather
unsafe, people are being shot at nearly
every night with either shot guns or pistols.
King Whites proclamation of martial law
in Jefferson county is published.
Movements at Little Rock.
LITTLE Rock, May 2-The situation is
unchanged. The State House party re-
ceived q few recruits to-day, as did Gov
ernor Baxter. Both parties also sent OFT
some men.
The Democratic Conservative State Gen.
trail Committee publishes an address calling
on the people to stand by Governor Baxter.
About fifty of the old comrades Of General
Pagan in the late war, who has assumed
command of the Brooks forces, published
an address denunciatory Of the General 3
course.
About twenty-five Democrats publish an
address advising the people to stand BY
Brooks.
Nothing from Pine Bluff today. The State
House party had dress parade this eve.
ming which attracted considerable crowd
| of spectators.

The Treasurer's Once.

A visit to the Office of Mr.. Dubuclet yes
terday resulted in witnessing the easy
working of the machinery in the same
pleasant manner as in old days before the
grand war of ipjunctions commenced. Mr..
Dubuclet remarked that since he has been
in Office, from 1868 to 1873, everything went
wen that last year was bad one for the
office, but since the adjournment of the
Legislature the operation of the funding
bill has restored the old harmony. The
tax collectors all pay the money into the
treasury and the Treasurer pays it out on
warrants, just az it ought to be. Not much
money has been received, and as fast as it
comes in it goes out again and goes to all
creditors having proper claims pro rata,
and not to one or two favored individuals.
The honest and conscientious course OF
Mr.. Dubuclet has won him many friends.
He is daily in receipts Of letters from all
parts of the State, and even from Chicago
and other cities, commencing him in the
performance of his duties. A.strong desire
has been expressed by prominent gentle
mem in many parishes that he should allow
his name to be used az q candidate for re
election. and it is probable that he will be
induced to permit it.

A New Republican Hall.

That staunch and answering Republican
leader of our eleventh ward compatriots,
Mr.. Bob West, has earned new honors
Approaching the needs of the party in the
front of the ward, he has constructed an
elegant and commodious club house.
During the past three evenings festival
has been held therein, the dedication cere-
monies winding up last evening in dance
which was participated in by many promi-
nent citizens. We regret not having had
earlier knowledge of the affair, as it would
have been pleasure to have contributed to
the success of Mr.. Vests laudable under
taking. However, we have nothing but
commendation for him and those who have
