Henry Myers, the most notorious
thief of all the notorious thieves that
have villifcd and robbed this people,
is here to stand his trial for embez
cling the School funds Of the parish.
This fellow deserves the most So.
ycle punishment and it is the SIM
eere wish of every vmtuous citizen to
see him and his class safely landed
in the Peniteptiary, as a st warning
to the migrate who would build up
his pocket by eonsisnins to iguo-
rance the children Of community.
Let Myers at least suffer for the
outrages and wrengs he has pcrpe,
srated. II the laws tecbmcalities
suffer this villain to- escape, let the
people apply their own law to him.

The Shreveport Telegram (radicaN
in reply to an article from the Mans
field Reporter with regard to the clos
ing of Tones Bayou and the cleaning
out of Bayou Pierre says:
If any of "the people of Shreveport
have at last concluded to 60 for the
opening of Tones's bayou" we have
failed to find them. We think, Doc
tor, you have been misinformed on
this proposition, and there will be
no necessity for "our member of Con-
gress, the Hon. J. B. Elan" to secure
an appropriation to open Tones
bayou, but there will be necessity
for our member of Congress, Hon.
Geo. L. Smith, to secure an appropri-
alton to complete the low water dam
at the mouth of'Fones's bayou, which
he will do. He will also get an APP
preparation, if possible, to clear ont
Bayen Pierre, and make other i'm
provements necessary to securing per-
manent navigation on Red river and
at the same time protecting our plant
ing interests.
Will the Telegram man stand up
and tell US by what authority "Hon.
Geo. L. Smith" hopes to enter Con-
gress as a representative from this
District. Smith was never elected
and his "returning board' certificate
will have but little weight with an
honest Democratic House.
The Telegraw on. Smith is another
evidence Of the "ruling passion strong
in DEATH" and we expect to hear
White say Of his carpetbag pet, as
he said of Packard to his last hours,
and when hope was gone, 1--WE have
implicit confidence that G.. (. Smith
win yet be admitted,' even after
Smith has been summalily aud de-
servedly kicked down the Capitol
steps.
The day, happily for decency, Of
the Geo. L. Smiths and the Telegram
Whites is over in Louisiana as well
as elsewhere, but they are the last to
recognize it..

Henry G.. Myers has returned t

Henry c. Myers has returned to
stand his trial for stealing the school
moneys of the parish. A gentleman
of cur town had several school war
rants whic! he placed some time
since with G. l.. Walmsley e. Co., in
New Orleans for collection from N.Y.
ers. Of course Myers did not pay
them and the gentleman had the
warrants returned him. Myers call
ed upon this gentleman Immediately
upon his arrival and said IL have
paid those warrants. Gave Walmslcy
the money the day | left. Hope its
all right, &c." The gentleman pull
ed the warrants from his pocket and
showed them to Myers, expressing
surprise at the payment. Myers was
dumbfoundel. OF course Myers was
lying as usual for sympathy.
Myers should 60 from this town to
the penitenti~y and we will be sur
prised if he does not.

Dear Su:
Your letter Of 10th inst, commands q
prompt acknowledgment.
Touching the claims which you and
your llonorel colleagues have on the
School funds of the State, ! admit that
you were justified in believing that
should there be a change in the State
Government, your claims Tor services ac.
tually rendered would be recognized
as valid by the new administration, and
paid ont of the first School funds avaiia-
Bile for the purpose" Such claims are
unqucstionably valid, and they should
be paid ont of the School funds available
for that purpose; but the demand must
be made of Myers, the custodian Of those
funds, either amicably or BY legal pro.
cess.
This will he aprarent to you, on re,
tlccting that, for three years past. con-
stitutional provision has made it obliga-
tory on Parish Boards of Directors to
pay all school expenses of any given
year exclusively, ont Of the revenues of
that year, or, in other terms, to limit the
annual expenses Of the schools to the
amount of annual revenue. This provis.
ion makes it clear that the only "school
funds available for the payment of your
claims. are the School revenues of 1876
and particularly the revenues apportion.
ed by the State, in September and Dc.
cember Of that year, and any residue OF
taxes for 1876 that may hereafter come
into the State Treasury and be apportion-
ed to your parish for distribution by the
new Parish Board Of Directors. Now
T the fact is, that Henry e. Myers, with
when you contracted, has drawn, or Sc
cured warrants for all the apportion,
ments referred to above including, in
deed, all the revenue for 1876, paid into
the State Treasury up to April Goth, 1877
aud Chat his agency for the State is
limited BY tic law defining his duties
which law, in brief, prohibits any en-
croachment on the revenues for 1877, III

The remedy then, must BE against the

should ali immediately urge the rul> L

The contemplated steamboat trans
portation of the mails was greatly
misunderstood by our people. 1t was
and is intended to supply .nWther
mail facilities, and in no way to utter.
fere with the present land established
routes. We make this explanation
in order to remove Il cause for the re-
tnSal Of many to siSn the petition for
"Riyer Mails" The land routes will
not bc discontinued at all, and the
river route will afford us another ia
cility for mail transportation, not
now enjoyed.
While upon the subject of mails, we
beg to call the attention of our read
ers to the following from tue S|,reve-
port Telegram of a late date:
\ noticeable aim of the Postal
Commission, winch recently visited
many portions ofthe Southern States,
is their avowed desire to increase the
amount of postal service performed
in the South by stage. coaches, hacks,
and other inferior modes of convey
ance, the object in view being the
creation, in thousands of rural dis
tricts hitherto neglected, of facilities
for the circulation of newspapers and
delivery analogous to those which
have always been supplied to the in
terror towns and townships of the
Northern States. The Postal Com
mission was primarily interested in
the establishment of fast mail facili-
ties between all the leading cities of
the country, and that branch of its
duties has received attentive consid-
Grafton, but it is now making an ear
nest effort to accomplish the import
ant additional Object of quickening
the intellectual life of many of the
interior districts of the South.
The attention of the Postal Com
mission should at once be called to
The want of routes in this section, and
we hope our friends interested will at
once do so. We will render all the
assistance in our power to them.

ENttOF WNUutOF
Chance threw me, a few days since.
Wills ora visit toNtw Orleans, in colpa-
NY with a gentleman from one of the Fell
liciana's, when, during quite an extended
chit chat, ! noticed that he used the
word E"|'''o>ing very frequently. Having
learned that that new Am~ricani>ln had
its orr gin in that portion of the State,
asked him if such was fact. and if So,
would he give me some account as to
how it originated. He replied that he
knew all about it, aud that its history
was rather amusing. during our trou-
blrs up there, said hr, and particularly
with the cotton thieves, the citizens
formed themselves into Il Vigilance CON-
lnittrc for self protection. Among ,s
was worthy I>racltc whose knowledge
of the English language not as peri ct
as that Of an American, and as a Sc
quence, he frequently got things a little
mixed. One of the rules of the Company
was, that when Il thief was caught lie
was to have Il dozen stripes with bull
whip. Now Jacob did not exactly un-
d'rStanl what Il cow-hile or bull-whip
was, but he did know that the :hirf was
to be .G"ntrrlly licked. On one occasion,
Il fellow WIS caught, a few links in the
chain of evidence against him were mis-
sing, and some of the members were in
favor Of iutlirtiny but half of the law
