R0bbfnS the Mail.

On fast Friday evening, twentieth instant,
the mail rider from Franklington to Amite
City was stopped by two negroes, and re-
ieved of the United States mail. They
took the mail bags of the road some dis
tancs, oI'enea them and rifled all tho let
ters. The mail carrier came on To- 4mite
and reported the robbery, and Saturday
morning Sheriff Bennett started with q
posse to try to capture them. The bags
and ride0 contents were found and brought
TO Amite, but no clue has been had to the
robbers. Our postmaster informed us that
upon q careful examination of the letters
he could obtain no evidence of their con-
tanning money. There were some valuable
drafts in the mail, which were found with
the rif1ed letters. The robbers are supposed
to be strange negroes, passing through the
country, as there was no one in the. .cOmmu-
nifty who suited the description given of
them by the mail csrrier-Amite Democrat.

N,uba.


Modesto Oiaz, the gallant Cuban leader,
is making things lively for the Spanish
troops in the eastern department. of tho
island. He captured several large estates
recently in the Aeighborhood Of Guanta-
mama. They were guarded by small parties
of troops, but these were easily brushed out
Of his path by Diaz. and in some instances
the estate guards joined the patriots, and
are now acting in their ranks. This uncov-
ers the whole country 10 the rebels, and
allows them to do as they please without
danger or risk from the Spanish troops.
The country people keep Diaz apprised of
the movement of the Spaniards, and be can
either fight or retreat as it best suits his
purpose. Alarmed by these audacious de-
monstrations of the revolutioniste, the COM
mander-in-c chief of the district of Santiago
de Cuba has issued an order threatening
severe punishment for all future desertions
from the army and upon all persons accused
of spreading any war news not previously
announced d official bulletins.
Deserters are not likely to be affected by
these paper bullets. They are in the ranks
of the patriots end can give blow for blow.
The meaning of the order in relation to war
news is sufficiently plain. Toe Spanish su-

4he State Central COMMITTEES.

The recent action Of the Louisiana State
Central Committee, which was telegraphed
North by tho local agent IF the Associated
Press, has nov favorable comments from
several papers of the opposition. The
following is from tho New York Tribune of
the twenty y-sixth:
Rarely is . political programme 30 uh-
reports from the Republican State Central
Committee of Louisiana. The party is to
be reOrganized; which in that State means
great deal IT it means anything. An early
resumption of specie payments, reduced
taxation, free schools, opposition to mono
poles, punishment for crime in office and
for assaults on personal rights, are to be
the features Of the proposed regeneration.
Evidently the Republicans OF Louisiana
have learned something since last year.
The Philadelphia Telegraph Of the same
date says:
The Louisiana Republican State Central
Committee is in session at New Orleans
and appears to be doing good work. 1t has
decided to reorganize the Republican party
in that State and en- . very sound basis.
The early resumption of specie payments;
the continued reduction Of taxation: free
ouucaliou, opposl.lon ID mOnOpOIee; econ
omy in the administration, and the punish.
ment of official thieving and of all assaults
upon personal rights-these are the points
decided upon for the new departure, and
they constitute a platform upon Which it is
desirable that Louisiana, as we'll
as every other State, shall stand. If Lou.
isiana had only taken an upright position
upon such a platform az that some years
ago, she would have saved herself Infinite
trouble and the country ct large a great
deal Of disgrace. Let us hope that she is
going to do. the fight thing now, but we
must remember that nothing is easier than
to put the right kind of material into party
platforms, and nothing is harder than to
make the wrong kind of men do tho right
kind Of work on the platforms when made.

MISCELLANEOUS,
General RpinneraA Views ON Finance

UTICA, N. y, August 3o:-General Spin
ner has been interviewed He expressed
himself freely on the financial question, and
gave his theory as that of an incontroverti
bic bond bearing interest at the rate of
three and sixty five one hundredths per
cent, not Judge Kslley's paper bond, but
one bearing interest in gold and capable of
being honorably and easily substituted for
that of our present government. He de-
nies being an intlationist in any sense of the
word, but said, on the other hand, he
was no bulliOnist, and agreed with nobody
who describes and derides our present cur
rency as a rag money currency. He as
crlbed the apparent unpopularity of such
bond to the efforts Of the banks to
becloud and deceive the people with re-
gard to its purposes and effects, but he
predicted time when their reasons and
their false promises would be thoroughly
understood, and the people would take
the matter into their own hands and de-
msnd legislation that was in their in ter
eet. The effect Of such q bond - this,
General. Spinner said, had been studied out
by him in all its ramifcat.one, and he was
not only convinced that it was . safe
measure for Congress to enact, but that it
was. the only one possible whereby to
achieve stable, equitable and permanent
financial basis for the government. He did

before the citizens had time comprehend the mpend-

composed of water and dust approached with such
velocity that in less than ten minutes from the time of
Its observance and before ten dollars worth of per-
sona property could be saved by any one sixty three
houses had been hurled to the ground Tho streets
covered to tho depth of four or

such great strength that boulders of large size

work was kept up on Monday and everybody began to
look cheerful when AT four O'Clock another waterspout
made its appearance from the exact spot where
predecessor was first noticed, and with equal
celebrity. Sixteen houses fortunate enough to escape
the previous visitation tumbled down and their
contents destroyed. THIS food lasted three hours
The damage done by these storms will figure up
