out Of order, how has it come to pass
that the popular demand for Federal
bonds, bearing reduced rate of in
terest, has steadily increased ever
since the autumn Of 1874, when the
political tide began to turn and the
House of Representatives became
Democratic? Why was it that, in
stead of falling oil, that demand in
creased when successive State cleo
tions had made it clear that the con-
troll of the Senate also, in 1879,
would pass into Democratic hands3
And why is it that there never has
been such demand for the Federal
four per cents as there is now,
while the Democrats in Congress are
insisting on measures which Demo
Gratis regard as essential TO the per-
manence of our institutions, aud
which all Republicans pretend to re-
gard as portents of new civil WARP

THAT MISSING BAG.

In our last we noticed that our
New Orleans paper mail, which left
the City on Saturday, April 10Th,
and should have reached us on the
2Sth, had not turned'.up and was miss
ing. This mail is the most impor.
tant one to our people, containing as
it does all the Weeklies, and the Fri.
day and Saturday dailies of New Or
leans, hence the powers that be
should not wonder that we took it al
heart that it was then missing, and
that we stated we should ferret it
out and make our official report in
the matter. We are now prepared
to make it and here it is: that i'm
portant paper bag was put on the
Steamer Yazoo Valley, the packet
substitute of our dear and lamented
Bart. Able, with the balance of our
mail on Saturday, the goth ult., but
was not put out here with the bal
ance of the mail on the 2Sth, but
carried on above, and transferred to
the Bonnie Lee in company of the
Mail Agent, to be transported above
along with the other mail matter
But some how or other or reaching
Coushatta, the discovery was made,
better late than not at all, that the
bag was for Alexandria, and it was
put off there, and re-shipped here
by the Jewel, reaching here about
dusk Friday evening, just four days
behind time.
Our authority for this statement
we received from the Mail Agent on
the Jewel, as we saw him in the act
of taking it to the Upper Warehouse
and there turned it over to Post.mas-
ter DeLacey, who was present deliv
ering the down mail. Now in all due
respect and in perfect eaador, we
would ask those interested parties
receiving government pap for doing
and performing easy duty we'll paid
for, what excuses they will have to
make for this objectionable neglect
of plain duty, and where does our
redress come in? The Steamer Va
zoo Valley remained here, on that
day, at least six hours, the Post
Master and the people had missed
the mail, all that time it was lying
on board of her, and it was packed
of as above. And surely, a Mail
Agent should know what he has in
that line for each Post Office, should
deliver it to those authorized to re
ceive it, receipt, for it for the Gov
ernment we take it, employs him
Tor that purpose, and we think too,
.ha. Post Master DeLacey should
1now what he receives, should know
when some of his mail is missing,
md should not blindly sign a receipt
ill he knows he has his full mail,
md above all the two together, the
Mail Agent and Post Master, should
not permit the people to be so badly
served, when little attention to
duty should and would have presen-
ed such a fragrant violation of it.
We hope and trust never again to be
'orced, in behalf of q suffering pub
ic, to have to notice any more miss.
ng bags.

HOME MIRROR.

one on record, this season, for grow
ing purposes, so long and sadly need
ed, and we hear that our planters
and farmers are satisfied with it. -
The dullness pervading Town, dur.
ing that time, is the best evidence
that the laborers have been hard at
work and have Stunned the tempta
tions here, and used their muscles ia
better purposes than they could
possibly have exercised them here in
smiles and tits. In these days OF
so-called exoding, we are glad to
note that our laborers hav'nt felt any
of these indiscretions, but has in
creased in hard ticks, and are happy
and, contented.
The river has stopped that big
swell and, thus far, has actually re-
coded fully five feet, though reports
from above chat of that big Spring
rise, though a little behind time,
still coming with a rush. We shall
see all about it by the time we re-
feet our dots in our next weekly
mirror. In the meantime, let us
pass to our steamboat fraternity and
give all their doings in our
RIVER NEWS.
The Packet, Yazoo Valley, on
Wednesday, reached here from
Grand Ecore about 8 P. NJ, with a
fair load, some passengers, filed up
scantily and then left about dusk.
The first weekly arrival from the
Crescent City, with an excellent trip,
was the Pool Lines trump card, the
Danube, which reached here about
10 o'clock Friday night. She put
off at this port good lot of freight,
the river mail, the DEMOCRATS two
bundles of papers and, long before
daylight, was off for her destination.
The same evening, but FIVE hours
earlier, the Jewel, Charlie Truslow's
gem, touched the upper Wharf, with
about 400 bales of the staple and
some Texas beeves. Her purser,
Eugene Barrow, sent US out late
Shreveport Times, which gave US
items of news twelve hours ahead of
the mails.
At half-past two o'clock Sunday
evening, little stern wheeler, named
the Vicksburg, whose antecedents
are unknown to us, passed by Town
at dashing speed, with a few bales
of cotton 10 sight, and rounded to at
Dayid's pine-knot pile, across the
river, and thence turned her PROV
down stream. [s+se'
The Bonnie Lee came down about
8 o'clock Monday morning, with a
half load all around, landed here a
few moments and then went on
about her business.
At precisely two P. ~, on Mon
day, just one hour behind the Red
River Stage, the Packet, Yazoo Val
ley, touched the big wharf. She had
a very good trip, the United States
Mail, and made her three regular Ian.
dings mere, remaining three hours
discharging. Her clerks favored US
with New Orleans papers, and, as
usual, she will go down early this
afternoon.
The Alexandria, bound for Mindeu
direct, passed up Monday night some
time before 10 o'clock.
The Shreveport Pool Liner, Silver
City, only reached here about mid
night, and she, too, had an excellent
trip, as we'll as package of pa
pers for our Office.
