Subscribers frequently complain to
us that unauthorized persons get
their papers out Of the postofice and
they never see them. As rule the
persons asking for the papers are too
stingy aud selfish to take the paper
themselves. and sponge on their
neigbbors and friends for the parish
news. This is not only mean but it
is against the law. The following
order has lately been issued by the
Postmaster General:
s'Postmasters will not allow nom
subscribers to take from the boxes,

addressed to subscribers, to read by
nonsubscribers, and returned by them

over the Veto.
IN. o. Times-Democrat.I


The action Of Congress on We'd
nesday evening in passing the river
and harbor bill over the veto of the
President fairly electrified the people
of New Orleans, and has doubtless
sent thrill Of pleasure throughout
the length and breadth of the valley.
The victory was so.unexpected, SO
far beyond the guess of even the
most sanguine, that it was all the
more delightful-like sudden burst
of sun light on dark and gloomy
day. The President and bis Eastern
advisers were probably not pleased
with the result and it must be admit
ed they had ample cause for dis
pleasure
Mr.. Arthur furnished Congress
with certain reasons of his own why
the river and harbor bill should not
pass and bis resons had the unex-
hected and extraordinary effect OF
increasing the majority against him.
Three weeks ago the Senate passed
the river aud harbor bill by vote Of
SO 70 %; to-day thanks to the Prssi-

FRANCIS T. NICHOLS.

The Greensburg Gazette, publish
ed in st. Helena parish, disputes with
us the honor of having FIRST nominal
ed Francis T. Nichols for the next
Governor of Louisiana. Our nomi-
ton was written for July 9Th. but did
not appear in the CHRONICLE until the
18th. 1t was renned as tribute 10
the noble statesman who SO grandly
stood at the helm of our ship of State
during the stormy times in which the
people were struggling for the pos
session of their government. Like
our Greensburg friend, we make no
special claim for voicing the senti-
ment of our people, and feel. glad to
know that this deserving patriot now
has q fair chance of receiving the
homage grateful people entertain
for him. All over the State the pa
pers respond with alacrity to his
domination. Let us hold to the man
who is the undonbted choice of the
people. and give the machine politi-
clans to understand they are to take
a back seat.

THE MYSTICISM OF sP1R1rIsM.

We have received two copies OF
the Arkansas Republican containing
marked articles from the pen of b,
s. Woolford, of Little Rock. on the
subject of spiritualism. Mr.. Wool
ford, we would remark, IS an old ac-
quaintrnce of this editor, We having
FIRST known him at Lewisville, in La
fayette county, as the foreman of the
Red River Post. a newspaper on
which We worked as typo.] For the
sake Of old acquaintance we review
his articles, one entitled "God in All, "
the other Esprit Visitors"
In the first our friend has used a
good many fowery words to express
his theory, which is epitomized in his
closing sentence thus: God, in every
instance, will be found to be the ever
present Mel" This astounding con-
clusion is but the repetition of an ac-
cepted belief in the christian world,
namely, that the soul is spark OF
Divinity itself. II our friend were to
adopt for his headline "God in AL
and Over AL" We could accept bis
theory. but when he presumes to set
up the puny spirits encased in clay
against Deity. that is just alittle more
sgotism than We can go. Man is re-
sponsible for his actions in this life,
and that to higher Divinity than
himself.
The second article, spirit Visit
ors," deals in what is- termed ''soul
telegraphy." by which our friend Ia
bors and fails to explain hon spirits
transmit intelligence to inhabitants
of this world. He puts his spirits
in divers ridiculous positions. The
Indian wants to take yonr scalp me-
groes have q hesitatiDg, half apollo
getic air, like in the old times oil
slavery; Young ladies like to sing and
play the piano; old topers like a drop
of spiritus fe,me'ati and SO on, ad
iryfnituns. All of which goes to show
that our friend has jumbled together
the Swedenborgian doctrine and the
latter day spiritualistic tomfoolery.
Like all spiritualists. be simply
proposes to deal in the mysterious,
without making mankind better OF
calling into play the nobler attributes
Of the soul. Give up this muddle
old fellow. and turn your bright tai
ents in some other direction, that vii
benefit the world you now live in and
better fit you to live in the world &c
| come.
