To Our Readers,

Several matters have transpired
lately which prevented US from
issuing the CHroA.c.E regularly.
On account of low water we were
unable to get paper from The city
for a month after sending for it;
ard the cold spell broke into our
arrangements also. We present
to our rea ,ers this week halt
sheet, and fo- some time we will
be forced to bring it out IN The
same shape. Our paper is not an
exception, as two-thirds of our
country ezchans es come to us as
half sheets. However, we pro-
pose to give about the usual guam
THY of reading matter. Our paper
has heretofore been filed with
prospectuses of newspapers and
magazines, which never paid Us O
pickle, and heir time expired on
the first of january. Hereafter
we will inset none but paying
atlve ;;Senents. The cost of pa
per is quite an item to us, and by
this arrangement it will cost only
half what il Used to. There is
also less labor, and we will be en-
abled to make our paper much
more interesting. We promise
our readers, however, that as soon
as we collect outstanding bills, that
we Will not only Issue a full sheet,
but will enlarge it, and strive 10
make it one of tbe most readable
and the neatest sheet il the State.
There will be 10 drawback to the

with reason, of the patronage that
is given to the "wild-Aiers" that
come into our trade in the busi-

in at the North they leave the
Ohio, or some other river, and
come down South to enter into
competition with those boats that
remain with us all the time. These
bosts make five or six trips, by
which each of them clears from
fourteen to twenty thousand dol

think it is time that the people

Ihave noticed in recent numbers
of the CHRONICLE several commun-
ications signed by various parties
from different portions of the
country, and some of them are
making various propositions, in
which l will join if you allow me
space in your well-Gked paper.
We have a mail route from VIM
field to Alexandra, upon which
the mail males weelly tips, pass
ing through from Winfield to
P'neville, a distance of fifty miles
without stopping, as there are no
intermediate Offices; therefore it
affords no advantage to anyone
between the two te,miai of the
route. Our mail matter from
Colfa1 is sent by way of Alexan-
dr:a, and, as the schedule makes
no connection at that point, we
never get our mails from Colfax
under two weeks from the time
they are mailed. Now what /
propose is to cnt off the route
from here to Alexandria and es-
tablish one from Montgomery to
Colfax, connecting there with the
WINFIELD and Naichitoches mail
route, which makes semi-weekly
trips. That would give us two
mails per week from Colfax and
Alexandria to this place instead of

New Orleans, Jan. 30.-Presi-
dent Grant has become fully con-
vinced of the frauds in Louisiana
and declares that he will not sus-
tain them. Kellogg, Don Gamer
on, Pitkin and others waited on
him to urge the recognition of
Packard to-day. The President
interrupted their representation Of
the case and said, Gentlemen,
you vase your time and annoy
me. 1 have been misled and de-
ceived and have determined to
take my. own methods of ascer-
tanning the truth. I have ascer-
tanned enough about the action c,

and 1 can Do longer stake my re-
putation and the fairness of my
administration in support of it.

mind, and shall not lift ole tipg
until all Investigations are settled
by tribunal" At this, the con-
spirato.s made another attempt to
state taeir case and were again in
telropted by the President, this
time almost savagely: "Gontle-
men," he said, lyon will please not
pursue this subject as you waste
your time and more than waste
mine." Whereupon the conspira-
tors withdrew, and Louisiana may
be considered thoroughly safe. If
the subject is brought up by Cam

New Orleans, Jan. 30.-Litsle-
field, the Returning Cotld clerk,
is the same who accompanied
Packard in his canvass. It is
cleo ly evident, from authentic
Washington adv.ces, that Casey
has been the stumbling block in
Packard AID Kellogg's way, and
knowing the frauds resorted to by
them 10 years gone by, determined
to save his brother-in-law from
ignomipy in going out of Office, by
advising him of the real facts.
This he has Gone. The Packard
Kellogg ring have been ut logger

my own knowledge, aud while, by
trickery, they haye beaten him
sometimes in Washington matters,
suca as Federal appointments for
Louisiana, etc, he is now complete
