The postage law, which goes into operation LIST
of January, 1875, requires prepayment 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 ,ciU be entered unless the Subscrip
ton is paid for in aduancs.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,
with statement of his account. Many have
responded with remittances discharging their
liabilities and paying in advance for tho current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do SO without
further delay, us after the first of January. 1875,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those W. o have not paid in advance The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
ances due and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

~A discussion, charges, and
countercharges, concerning the Pub
lie Schools in our Parish, have
brought out the facts from Treasu
rer De Lacy, and we are pleased to
know that their condition and the
situation generally are far more
sound, safe and fair than the exigent
public gave them credit for. From
this exhibit we CLEAN that since Sep
TENDER 1st 1873 to May LIST 1874,
there have been nineteen schools IN
the Parish, of which seven are exclu-
sively white, and that the sum OF
eighteen hundred and sixty dollars
has been paid to the teachers in that
time. In the Alexandria Ward there
is an exclusively white school, OF
which R. NJ. Fitzpatrick is Principal
This gentleman is in all and every
particular suitable and competent tt
teach any school, and parents shoule
be GLAD to avail themselves of thu
chance to send their children to 81
good public school, and we for on
render due praise to the Board TO
so lust and wise selection.

~ The Legislature OF Texas,
some time ago passed an act to an
mex the Parishes Of Caddo and De
Soto, to the State of Texas. The
bill was passed with due deliberation
and with almost unanimous consent,
but now comes Governor Coke who
yetoes it and sends it back to the
Senate, where it originated, with his
objections. We wish we had space
for his message in full, but being
cramped for room we hurriedly state
one startling fact to which he al
ludes. One section Of the bill pied
GEES the State of Texas to make said
Parishes pay their pro rata share OF
the debt of Louisiana, and as that
pro rata would be over one million
and a half of dollars, it's magnitude
for the size and population Of the
territory to be acquired, is in the
Governors opinion sufficient ground
for hesitation and elaboration. We
rather think Governor Coke is hal:
way right, and he has not much no
ton to undertake to force the collec
ton of such a debt.

But for once we are glad they have
been awfully misinformed, and had
to regretfully pen that fine mortuary
tribute to our friend Thomas j. IL.
Bowles, who has not yet shuffled of
his mortal coil and from reliable
news has no such foolish notion just
now in contemplation. The Demo
crat learned the same sad report from
a good source, and had also written
Toms obituary, which we will not
publish, but will send him and let
him see that the Democrat also drop
ped a morning glory on his supposed
new grave.

TOO CARELESS.

Tn the New Orleans Picayune Of
the 9Th inst. we find, to our great
surprise and modification, the fol-
lowing, under the head ofLouislana;
Alexandria Democrat, April ~: One
If the witnesses in the late trial OF the
Grant Parish prisoners, has been beat
ON almost to death in the streets OF
AIsxandria. Lieut.. Vernon, OF the U.
g army, saw the outrage as he stood on
the nortico of hotel with his wife,
He has reported the facts to Washln g
ton. Nash, the pretended siieriH VINO
led the mob at Colfa1 last April, mas
been caught at last.
To all here who know the facts
about the above clipping, it is use
less to say one word, but we must as
sure the Picayune that their news
editor never found such an article in
the Democrat, and that none such ev-
er appeared in our columns, simply
because no such scene ever occurred,
and the whole is fabricated, willful
and malicious lie of some miserable
wretch here, who invents, manutac-
lures and writes such falsehoods
against our people specially for the
New Orleans Republican, and for the
special use and benefit of the foreign
market of radicalism. The gist OF
this extract originally appeared in
the Republican, and was at the time
properly handled by the Democrat as
canard of the foulest water. This
is what we would have liked the Pic
ayune and the New Orleans paper:
to have copied in sheer justice to ou1
people, and not the clipping, which
never appeared in our journal. Th'
managers of the Picayune should b.
. more careful hereafter and not attri
butte the lies and infamies Of Radica
journals to the Democrat. We ar
i touchy on all such subjects, and wan
credit for our honest efforts in beha]
of truth and the rightful acts of GU
+, prosecuted and def AIMED people, an
u wish Justice sometimes meted out t
y them. This we expect from the Pie
II ayune and all true Conservativ
l. Journals, for all the Radical ones 70
~ low suit with the Republican an
