| New STAMPs.--The new two cent
stamps and stamped envelopes issued
under the law lowering to two cents
the postage on letters to all parts of
the United States, commenced being
delivered at the Alexandria Pos
Office on Monday, Postmaster Cor.
don has received 5000 Of the new
stamps and will be ready to satisfy
all, even eXorbitant demands. The
same tariff of postage holds good for
| Canada and Mexico. Several of our
merchants here have already ordered
large numbers of the envelopes from
Washington with their names prin
ted on the same.
AR the present writing there are
confined in our Parish Jail no less
than twenty nine prisoners, charged
with committing different crimes,
and most if not all of whom expect
to be tried OF the coming jury term
of the District Court. All of the
twenty-nine are from this Parish,
with the exception of one who nails
from Grant, from which place he WAS
brought here for safe keeping. HIS
name is billiard, and he is charged
with murder, having been parsici
pant in the same affair for which
Mr.. Duck, recently tried and convic-
ted in Colfax, is now serving term
in the State Penitentiary at Baton
Rouge. For the benefit of our Par
ish we trust the list will be thnuet'
out.
Pass HIM AROUND. Clarence P.
Carter, who for many months past,
has been in the employ of one OF our
leading mercantile establishments,
and who while here was half way
suspicioned as being characteress
scamp, after several Intellectual at
tempts to make his exit from our
Town, departed on Saturday night
by the West bound train, leaving be-
bind him several unpaid. bills, homo
rable contracted with parties here,
who, unluckily, had heen thrown in
contact with, and had had business
relatIons with him. From what we
learn in a round about manner he
acted in dishonOrable and ungeu-
tlemanly way in other proceedings
which are of too delicate a Dature to
be paradea in the public prints.
We publish these facts in order that
the public at large may be informed
in regard to the doings of this chap.

"A LARGE amount Of the revenues
of the Corporation of our Town, are
paid out in salaries, and some of our
xpayers and property holders are
beginning to think that these libe
raj salaries thus paid out, should
guarantee to them little more pro
lection. In this respect we hear
numerous complaints hurled at the
head of one of our Town Constables,
(who, as every one knows, is well
paid for his services, having had his
salary recently raised to $50 per
month, and that too for being so
timid and half way scared as it were
to do his duty. We think, and so
do the people, that when an officer
is found to be incompetent he should
he removed. Those who placed him
in power are alone responsible for
his actions. From our present stand
point we are forced 10 agree with
