The Fast Mail Train.

New Orleans receives no benefit whatever
from the fast mail train now running be-
tween New York and Chicago. Mails do
fore. Our New York mail arrives at Chi
oago, and, because of the lack of connec-
ton, is delayed several hours before being
forwarded to this city. Were the coDnec-
ton made, we should receive the mails
pro baby twelve hours earlier than at pres
emit. There is some hope that it will be
effected during the coming winter. We as
certained this upon inquiry of Assistant
Postmaster Wright.
1t has provoked considerable controversy.
St. Loais is jealous of Chicago's monopoly
of good thing, while others are blind to
any merit in the new sensation of Post.
master General Jewell. The Poughkeepsie
Eagle says:
The novelty and speed of these trains would
commend them to the country If they sub
served any useful purpose whatever beyond
acting as newspaper carriers for premature
editions of morning presses. They start tor
the West ten hours after retail business
closes, twelve hours after Wholesale barter
is over, and thirteen hours after the banks
shut. They do not overtake the evening
trains, which generally leave the city at
or P. NJ, short OF the Ohio valley and
the lakes. where, meantime, the neighbor-
hood newspapers have been issued wi 1.
| from twelve to twenty four hours later news
Nor do these rapid trains, starting at mis-
placed hours, accommodate the commercial
or banking, or money order buying, or the
social class at all. They are merely news
paper bonus, extended by the United States
| to four or five New York morning papers tc
invade the field OF the journals of the in
| terror.
We do not doubt, however, thai fast mai
trains will become a popular institution

should not be proportiopatel accommo

change of q few hours in the present

will be thankfully received. The Soutl
must look to railroad magnates chiefly fol

We learn from the Donaldsonville CHIEF
Of the .sseondI that chs police jury Of As
sumption parish (Republican) will probably
levy > special tax Of eight mills the coming
year to liquidate the outstanding indebted
mess. Under its administration the debt of
the parish has been reduced from S5O, 900 to
$4,000 in less than two years. With an
assessment roll of $1,000 900 upon which to
levy next years tax, it is expected the debt
will totally disappear by January l, 1877.
Acts speak louder than words, and the Re-
publicans Of Assumption deserve credit for
their reform record. 1t 10 an example
worthy of imitation.

The Catholics,

The Catholics in the Southern States,
especially in Georgia, are making rapid
progress. Their numbers are increasing,
and converts, academies, charitable insti-
buttons, churches and parochial schools
multiply. Protestants may look well to
their laurels, or be outstripped in the race
for proselytes, for vigorous breath en-
ivens the Catholic body. Its acquisitions
will not be confined to one race, for the
Church sspires to universal dominion-a
united world under single Pope.
