The mail between this place and Amite
City Is, to say the least, miserable
failure. In pleasant weather, instead oil
making the connection daily. It often
fails TO reach here every other day, and
after rain very often but once week
How long IL this programme to con
tinue? The last mail which reached
here was on Monday last, which brough,
city dates of only the 2lst. Il East Fell

We see that Bayou Plaquemine is
completely blocked up with cypress
logs. 1t would be a wise thing for the
sawmill men to unite and contribute TO-
wards the digging OF q canal through
the shoal places and clearing out the
stumps In the way OF navigation. or
rather the moving of timber. The logs
could then be kept further down tne
bayou and only brought upin small iots
as needed. Il Iberville South.
And thus has the dispute between
rival governments been brought 10 On
abrupt. decisive and peaceful termlna-
ton, the manner of which seems to por-
tend softening OF partisan rancor, the
eternal elimination OF the color line
from our politics, the formation OF new
parties upon less disturbing Issues, anu
the prevalence OF great harmony ana
good feeling between the various classes
of the population. Donaldsonville

offsnBes, from murder down to the low

give bond. Some have been there for
nearly year, the District Court failing |

they will be dealt with as the evidence

Gov. Nichols has appointed the 10th
inst. as a day OF thanksgiving and
prayer for the happy termination OF the
political troubles which have weighed
years. We presume this proclamation
will be generally observed throughout
the State by people Of all GLASSES and
colors. Surely it commends itself more
directly to all than the usual humdrum
proclamations which usually emanate
from the executives OF tho different
States OF the Union. Let 1t be observed
with proper decorum by oil people,

We are proud to learn that some Of
our people who are not entirely welded
to cotton raising have turned their
attention, to certain extent. to the rails
ing OF fine hogs. Several persons In our
parish have purchased extra breeds OF
hogs and are raising as fine porkers as
can be found anywhere. We are glad
our section OF the State filled with fine !
stock Of all kinds. Fine blooded ami ,
mails will pay for the trouble Of raising {
much better than common stock, and {
as soon az our people find this matter
out and put their knowledge into prac-
tioal shape just so soon will they begin !,
to prosper and realize the Importance
OF securing the very best quality Of al
kinds OF domestic animals. Union Re

This happy denouement Of events
will make the New Orleans Pacific es- !
sentially Louisiana road and the pride
OF the State, and we congratulate the i
able President Of the road and its friends .
everywhere upon the suspicious out 8
look. We hope the dissatisfied tax d
payers OF the city, who have impeded Il
the progress OF the road by a factious !,
opposition for year past. will now |,
yield to the inevitable, n
making virtue of necessity, and moth I
ing may occur from now on TO mar the 9
progress OF an enterprise which will 81
add more wealth to New Orleans aud n
benefits to the State at large, Ii
than any which has ever been con- i,
ceived.- mansfield Reporter. n
We would like to see this branch OF Y
industry (sheep raising) more extensive -
ly engaged In In Richland parish, for 81
we are satisfied that there IL great deal q,
more money in it than In cotton plant al
Ing, even with one-half the expense and
attention. Just let some OF our Il,
planters try the experiment. OK course re

but there is money in buying them. BRO. be

Elected Governor by the Democratic ID
party, and owing no favors to those who d.
