THE NEW POSTAL BILL.

The new postal money bill pro-
vides that orders for O sum Less
than SIS will cost three cents, and
the service is extended so as to
raise the limit Of orders from $50
to 500. Further, persons will not
be required to ell out blank, as at
present, for an order, but will re-
ceive an order payable to the bear
er at the money order Office desig-
mated by the applicant. The new
notes are to be handsomely en-
graved, and in appearance will not
be unlike bank notes. And, as
they are payable to bearer, they
will possess no advantage for safety
over treasury notes. The fact that
they can be had in any desired de-
nomination, up to 500, will make
them convenient for purposes OF
renting.

TIE SIXTH DISTRICT Re-
PUBIICANS.

Two Republican Conventions are
to be held in this Congressional
District. One is to ASSEMBLIES at
Red River Landing, on the th
inst, and the other one is e
for the 18th inst, and is to mes ut
Baton Rouge. The cause of Vie
division iii the Republican parts in
this District is not known, but is
supposed to be on account of the
hostile feeling existing between the
Cus.omhouse Republicans and the
more conservative and native MEM
bers Of that party.
The Republican Executive Com
mittee met few weeks since and
called the Convention to be held at
Red River Landing. The Custom
house party, led by W. G.. Lane,
Z. S. Commissioner in New Or
leans, L. J. Souer, Appraiser, Oscar
Holt, employee in the Custom
house, and several other officials,
not satisfied with the way things
were going on, called meeting of
the Republican chieftains of the
District, and they determined that
the Convention should be held at
Baton Rouge, as above stated.
The two factions are about equal
ly divided, and there is no likeli-
hood that one will concade to the
other an iota, Already Gen. I. c.
Anderson, of Returning Board
fame, is announced as an indie
pendent candidate, and unless the
notorious Souer receives the Gus
tomhouse nomination, Anderson
will get the Endorsement of this
faction of the party.
The other faction, or more con-
sentative members of the party,
speak of nominating Judge Cullom,
of Avoyelles, or Judge Yoist. of
Point Coupee. The ubiquitous
Louis TRACER is on the fence as to
the nomination, and will accept
recognition from either one of the
factions.-MarksvNe Bulletin.

The rapid progress of temperance
principles, says the Memphis Ap-
peal, is inspiring those who have
not noticed the march of sobriety.
We ali know the strides prohibition
has made in Arkansas; we find all
the New England States accepting
it; Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin. In
diana, Illinois and Minnesota are
all in movement upon the subject.
and some of them very powerfully.
North Carolina, Tennessee and
Mississippi are manifesting pro-
cliyities in the same direction. In
Missouri there is also much oppo-
sition to the sale of Intoxicating
drinks. Nebraska is nearly cap
tured by the temperance army, and
actual prohibition is the law in
Kansas and Iowa. The child 'fee-
total" has become q man, and the
man promises to become q giant.

The Brightest Intelleets Suffer Most

Young men who have led life of
excess and dissipation, reform!
Give tone to the stomach, regulate
the liver and bowels, strengthen the
urinary organs, relieve those dull
pains in the limbs, rid yourself of
that feeling of nausea, biliousness,
languor and nervous debility; give
tone and strength to each organic
function, by using Browns Iron
Bitters; then will you experience q
genial warmth and awakening life
in place of that dead feeling of de-
cay; and dyspepsia, milky urine,
etc.. no longer undermine your COM

as follows from our sister parish Of
Washington:
On the 10Th inst. horrid muir
der was committed in the peaceful
village Of Franklinton. A negro,
named Watson, at dance party in
his mothers house, without provo
cation or previous malice. deliber-
ately stabbed to the heart and then
cut the throat from ear to ear of
Isaac Pitman, another negro, while
he was standing before the fire.
place, drinking cup of coffee. The
mother began crying at the fearful
deed, when Watson told her that
if she did not shut up be would kill
her too. Watson is in Jail.
The fattering young crop Of the
spring is now reality. It is esti-
mated that there will be FIVE times
more corn gathered this year than
ever before. The potato crop will
treble itself. Chufas and cane are
splendid. The oat crop was the
heaviest for many years. Cotton is
fine and rapidly opening. Surely
Washington parish is u land OF
milk and honey, and of genuine
old American hospitality. J.F.s.
