The Grand Jury.

Judging from the fact that three
deputy sherihs are kept busy serving
subpenas, the Grand Jury is making
a thorough Investigation of the crimi.
nal offenses Of the parish. This is both
right and proper, but we cannot for
bear suggesting that there is an item
of cost likely to come up, after these
Investigations, II they be not discreetly
and judiciously conducted, which the
Parish of Ouachita is poorly able to
meet. A frivolous appeal is not any
more the nest-egg of damages than
frivolous indictments by grand juries.

For the information of some of oul
readers who send money by steam.
boats, we print the following, for theil
future guidance, clipped from the New
Orleans Democrat
Parties having money to send by
steamboat cannot send it by letter ex-
cept it is Enclosed in government
stamped envelope of the denomination
required for postage. They can save
themselves much trouble as we'll as
the clerk of tho boat by ascertaining
the postage and procuring the envelope
before they 60 to the boat, or else by
putting it in q package by itself with
no writing of any kind inclosed.
In this connection we might also
mention the fact that all letters sent
by steamboats, must be duly stamped,
otherwise they will not be received.
Our readers will bear these facts in
mind, and act accordingly. Several
steamboats, have already been libcled
by the u. s. Government and have
been compelled to pay heavy fines for
noncompliance with these Government
regulations !; and In one instance the
fine amounted to more than 5000.
