ALI. RIGHT! BATON ROUGE GOT HER
MAIL-On Wednesday morning, at
about o'clock, the hearts Of the good
uatured Inhabitants of the Capital were
made glad by the startling intelligence
that the mail had just arrived for the
first time since Sunday last, on board
the staunoh steamer Edward J. Gay,
Of course no one thought of complain
ing. Under the benign rule of n Repub-
lican administration, mail boats ore
given permission to take their own
time in attending to their carrying
trade, and in the course of human
events, when convenient, deliver the
mails to the philosophers who dwell
along the banks of the Father of Wa
ters. We do not write this paragraph
with u view of influencing anybody to
make haste any fastor than at present,
but simply to have inscribed on ono OF
the blank pages of the old Spanish
Records of Red Stick how the United
States mail service was conducted in the
year of our Lord, ono thousand eight
hundred and eighty.

The failure of the Empire State to
stand by Hancock has given the control
of the government to Garfield for tho
uoxt four years to come. OF course,
thorc is dismay and disappointment in
the ranks of the Democracy at this I'M
expected turn Of affairs. The party of
the Constitution, though worsted, has
not been slain, and in due time it will
fight again. In the meantime the ar
mics must be supplied with goods and
clothing for this coming winter; but
the next thing is to find the place
where they can be purchased at the
lowest figures. OF course, when the
question is asked, host of merchants
will answer "hore's the place" In all
this hubbub, one man has seized the
colors, to-day, and is gallantly dashing
to plant them on the highest steeplc in
