MAIL SERVICE WITH RED RIVER LAND

success and great accommodation TO the

our citizens have petitioned the Post
office Department to place just such an
other boat as the Morning Star To take
the mails upon their arrival here from
Donaldsonville and convey them to the
different Postoilices as far up rs Red
River Landing. That arrangement
would give the best and quickest mail
facilities ever established on the lower
Mississippi, With line Of stages to

venience Of the people Of many parishes.
These swift propellers in the mail ser
vice, which convey passengers from one

Mississippi. There is no reason why an
unbroken chain of these could not be
formed all the way to Cairo. "

to the publisher. In the batch of those
recently received was a closely printed
four-paged circular from one DR.. VIM.
Harvey, Boston, Mass, who wants wife
and promises that if its publication should
secure him wife from among our un-
married Lady Readers that he win "faith-
fully promise to become life subscriber
to your valuable paper; and to see that
each new member shall do likewise"
If DIR. Harvey cannot find suitable
''yank'' in that transcendental land, and
where they outnumber the males two to
one, we should be afraid to commend
any of our unsuspecting Delaware girls
to his protection. His specifications, as
long as your arm, can be summed up in
the modest proposition of a ''healthy,
good, handsome and poor woman" The
Doctors excuse for not being married
sooner, now 40 years of age, that he has
been on the Western frontier away from
society and has come home expressly tc
get wife ought not to prevent him from
getting a suitable partner for his JOYS

AT the last election in Wilmington
there was conflict of authority between
the officers of the Government, and the
State--both ostensibly in the interest of a
fair election. The Deputy U. s. Mar
shals were appointed to prevent illegal
voting, intimidation, &c. During the
election day these were interfered with in
the discharge of their duties by the State
officers who were indicted before the u.
s. District Court and whose cases now
stand adjourned until April The action
of these officers or at least their defence
has been or will be made further case Of
the State VS.. the general Government by
the passage of resolution by the Legis
lature providing that counsel should b
appointed for their defence to be paid on
of the State Treasury. 1t certainly is
nice and convenient thing to have goot
treasury to draw on when one gets il
difficulty from infractions of thelaw.

neighbors Let the Legislature give the
people Local Option which they ask and
which it has right to grant, and let the
Legislator know that while the people ask
1T as protection to their families, property,
labor and the only hope of the drunkard
that he is in u large sense the exponent of
public virtue-that he is labeled when
elected as a man that can be trusted, and
that his responsibility widens with respect.
1t is too true that by the conduct of
some public men respect for official
position has largely declined. The feeling
of loyalty in the people is not increasing
for our law makers. And this is an impor
tant and interesting question. For how
much of the waning respect for the dignity
of the government, the powers that be and
for the place of assemblies are our officials
accountable? There is ground in the minds
of the common people for this waning
loyalty and loss of respect, while it is
proved daily that the grossest and lowest
grade of morals is practiced by men in the
highest official stations, and while their
oaths are staring them in the face they take
brides and cheat the government they have
sworn to protect and defend. They feign
sickness; run from their seats; pack com
mittees; kindle envy, jealousy and avarice
balancing their interests with each other
by agreeing to an exchange Of votes. 1t is
in such legislation and by such means and
men that the confidence of the masses in the
stability of the government has been weak
ened and almost destroyed. To deny the
people, therefore, so fair a law for SO laul
able purpose would raise grave question,
which will not strengthen and improve III,
