THE Post Office Department, says Wash
ington special to the Boston Aduer.iser, has
received a communication from colored
man named Dula, who was appointed as post
master at st. Francisville, West Feliciana
parish. Louisiana. Dula reports that the
present postmaster, who is Democrat, re-
fused to give him possession of the office, and
that the people of the place cursed the Post
master General for appointing negro to
office, and said they did not mean to have
any more Republicans holding the office in
that place. Dula says he was also elected
justice of the peace and commissioned by
Goyernoe Nichols, but that the people would
not let him exercise the duties of his office,
and that he had been warned to leave the
place. He is nov in New Orleans and has
forwarded an account of all the circum.
stances to General Butler. An investigation
will be made as to the facts in the case, and
the Department will then determine what
tO do
