SUBSCRIBERS' BOX.
For the better accommodation of our
country subscribers at present we bave
arranged a box at our office, in which
their papers will be regularly placed and
whence they can receive them when called
for.
This arrangement will work conveni
ently for all as soon as custom shall have
rendered it familiar.
To C andidates .—Candidates for office
need occasionally to be reminded that we
insort no announcements, unless accom
panied with the printer's fee of $10. We
have on hand a goodly number of names
which have boen left at our office to be
announced in the foregoing connection,
but until our old-established rates are
complied with, the parties concerned can
not receive the benefit of a standing an
nouncement in our columns.
F ine R eaches .—West Baton Rouge
seems to take the lead in producing the
finest fruit we have seen this season. Mr.
.iaoot , of our city has presented us with a
couple of very large fine peaches, which to
look at, make one's mouth water. They
wffre obtained from the place of W ii-iiam
W hite , Esq., at Bruly Landing.
O ffice kiîmoval . —Dr. d. l. M okit
rick , burgeon Dentist, has removed his
ollice to the parsonage building, immedi
ately back of the Episcopal Church, a re
tired and at the same time, convenient lo
cality, whero we presume the Doctor will
continue to receive as many calls from his
patrons as he can well give attention to.
Long may he flourish.

W The Prince of Wales is to open
the "Internal Dog Show" at Agricul

hundred specimens have be^n entered
lor exhibition, and over two hundred
rejected, as the show was "all lull in

to open on dog days.
etr®- The Boston journal is evident,
ly proud that this is "a nation of ora

"the gift of the gab" has been and

Marriage Re?illations for Freedmen.
A recent circular from the Bureau
of Free Labor at Montgomery, Ala.,
lays down the following salutary
rules for the governance of Freedmen
in their future marital covenants and
responsibilities :
"That Freedmen may acquire pro
per views of the sacred nature and
solemn obligations of the marriage
rite, thereby promoting the virtue and
future welfare of the race, blank mar
riage certificates will hereafter be
issued from this office. Attaching
to each certificate is an accompany
ing return, which, after being filled
out by the officiating person, will be
returned by him, without delay, for.
registration. Thus an accurate mar
riage record will be kept for future
reference.
"Chaplains in the army, clergymen
and magistrates, are earnestly invited
to authorize the marriages of such as
have been living together as husband
and wife, and to encourage lawful
marriage, in all cases, among candi
dates for matrimony. Each ceremony
should be witnessed by a person who
can sign his name in writing and not
by mark.
"Care, also, should be taken to
impress upon the minds of candidates
the solemn nature of their marriage
vows, and to add such instructions
as shall lead them to order aright
their households, making them as far
as possible the abodes of industry,
peace and certain faith.
C. W. B uckley,
Ass't Sup't Freedmen."
It would be a blessing everywhere,
could similar steps be taken and
effectually applied towards reforming
the notorious abuses which exist in
the conjugal relations of Freedmen,
and the loose and promiscuous inter
course indulged in by the young and
unmarried of both sexes. Nor is the
demoralizing propensity confined to
their own color. Debased white men
are to be found who violate the laws
of public and private decency by the
most licentious practices among the
colored females. Freedmen are well
aware that such men are not their
true friends, but they are unable to
remedy the growing evil without the
aid of some official interposition co
operating with a wholesome and
united public sentiment condemna
tory of the abuses referred to.
T he F ate of thk N egro .—The
Journal of Commerce, commenting
upon the condition of the negroes
South, says :
Unless strong preventive measures
are employed, there is reason to fear
that the lot of the unfortunate Indian
race will in course of time fall to the
descendants of the African in this
country, and that instead of having
occasion, as now, to marvel at this
fecundity of the Southern negro, we
shall see him wasting away from the
inroads of disease and vicious pro
pensities. This is the fate of the
Sandwich Islander and of all the in
ferior races when brought into com
petition with the pure-blooded white
man. Let our philanthropic societies
take notice and seek to devise a
remedy. Good sumptuary laws may
accomplish something. Negroes here
tofore have increased rapidly at the
South. It would be a sad story if
liberty should debase and decrease
them.
A U nited S tates O fficer on
N euro S uffrage .—"An officer of
Sherman's army" writes to the Cin
cinnati Inquirer:
I voted for Mr. Lincoln in 1860 ;
I voted for him in 1864, to put down
slavery and the rebellion. But it is
attempted to enlarge the sphere of
the republican party—to make it ad
vocate not only the abolition of
slavery, but also that of negro suf
frage. I sustain President Johnson.
I believe, with the Commercial, that
the popular side is against negro
suffrage. While I want universal
liberty, that don't mean that the ne
gro, who never did anything for
himself or civilization, except under
the supervision of the white man, is to
be put on an equality with the white
mau. I did not sustain the war for
that purpose.
N eoro S uffrage and S tate R ights.
Tbe Ohio State Journal, the cen
tral Ohio organ of Republicanism,
in speaking of President Johnson's
ideas of negro suffrage and State
rights, says:
President Johnson's views of "se
cession'' and his plan of reconstruc
tion, takes the question of negro
sullrage out of the National poli
tics and consign it to its true rela
tions as a question of legitimate
State rights. The sober judgment
of the people will very generally
approve this reference.
G et off that S tump .—Among
the paroled rebel soldiers who came
up on the steamer Lady Gay on
Tuesday, was a man over seven and
a half feet in height. He started out
with the Missouri troops at the com
mencement of the war, and stuck to
them until the "dog was dead" and
never received a scratch. Soon after
he was mustered into the rebel serv
ice, the regiment to which he belong
ed appeared before the Colonel on
dress parade, and the Colonel, who
prided himself on the fine appearance
and good size of his men, cast his
eyes along the line, with a smile of
self-satisfaction until they rested on
the towering form of the tall Missou
rian, when he knit his brows, and
called out fiercely in thunder tones,
"Get off that stump, you impudent
scoundrel, or I'll order you under
arrest." The soldiers looked at each
other, wondering what the Colonel
meant, but no one moved. Finding
his authority treated with disrespect
lie fairly boiled with rage, and, ad
vancing to the big soldier, he ex
claimed, "what in the d—1 are you
standing on V The soldier respect
fully replied, "On my feet, Colonel."
The Colonel was completely taken
back, as he surveyed this tall speci
men of humanity from head to foot
in blank amazement; he mumbled
an apology for his rude remarks and
hastened away, leaving his men con
vulsed with laughter. "Get off that
stump " became a by-word with the
Missouri rebels, and it will no doubt
live as long as the Missourian.—
Cairo Democrat.
C elebration of F ifty Y ears'
P eace .—For fifty years uninter
rupted peace has prevailed between
England and France. For fifty years
the grass has grown over the battle
field of Waterloo, and not once since
have the two nations been brought
into armed collision. The rivalry of
war has ceased, and ancient preju
dices seem now buried forever. The
fiftieth anniversary of peace could
not be allowed to pass without some
appropriate celebrations, and to the
representative workingmen of both
countries is due the credit of having
taken the first step in a practical
and well considered movement. It
lias been decided that an Anglo
French Working Class Exhibition
shall be held at the Ciystal Palace
during the present summer. Ac
cording to existing arrangements, the
exhibition will be opened on Satur
day, the 29th of July, and will re
main open during the three following
months.
T he K eans to be E ngaof.d at
the S t. C harles .—It is stated that
Mr. De Bar has secured an engage
ment with Mr. Charles Kean and
Mrs. Ellen Tree Kean for the St.
Charles Theatre in this city, to com
mence next January the 8th. It
was about twenty years ago when
those artists last trod the boards of
this theatre. They have been round
the world since then, turning a long
stage somerset. In the antipodean
land of Australia, their position was
quite reversed, and had the earth
opened during their performances in
Sidney and Victoria, their old ap
niirers at the St. Charles might have
seen them, heels-over-head, acting
with their consummate art and in
tensity in Hamlet, Macbeth or Othel
lo. But such scenes, though seien
tifically true, can be revealed only to
the imagination.— New Orleans Bee.
M ilitary D isabilities E ast and
W est.—a Western paper says :
From a report of the provost
marshal general we find some facts
having bearing upon the physical
condition of residents of eastern and
western states. In Maine the num
ber of men rejected for the army
was in the ratio of a little over 451
to the thousand ; the ratio in Mas
sachusetts is 425 ; and generally
in the eastern states the ratio ran
ges between 300 and 451. But two
western states are given—Wiscon
sin, in which the ratio was 218, and
Michigan, in which it was 278.—
The inference is that in case of
draft there are fewer exempts in the
west than in the east ; a difference
which may tie founded on physical
disability, or a disinclination to go
to the front, or both. In any casé,
it shows that the west is either
healthier or has more patriotism
than the east; and is therefore
more desirable as a residence.
A G ood S tory .—A good-story is
told of a Northern Merchant, who
was ea^ftig his diuner at the Battle
Jïbuse, at tbe tiriie of the recent ex
plosiou^n Mobile. Although badly
frut by the flying fragment of a win
dow, he managed to rush to the
telegraph office, and send a message
to his partner to "ship nothing but
putty and glass." This duty done,
he fainted, and has been in brain
fever ever since.
S&- Tbe following "sensational"
paragraph is running the round of
the German press : "A cattle deal
er of Prussian Silesia, was murder
ed and robbed some twelve years
since, and no trace of the murderer
could be found. A year later the
murdered man's daughter married
a master butcher, with whom she
has lived ever since. A few days
back, while preparing to remove to
another house, the woman found
among her husband's effects a 6mall
purse embroidered with silver,
which she herself had made for her
father, and which had disappeared
after the murder. A horrible sus
picion took possession of her mind,
and having taxed her husband with
the crime, lie made a full confession
and has consequently been arrested
and committed for trial."
H ighest M ountains .—Professor
Whitney's party of geological explo
rers in California have made wonder
ful discoveries the past season—
mountains fifteen thousand feet high,
higher than Mont Blanc, and the
highest in the United States—perpen
dicular walls of rock seven thousand
feet, and a grove of big trees, larger
than those of Calvaeras or Yosomite,
into whose hollow trunk three horse
men ride abreast, and on whose
stumps Californians hold mass meet
ings. The valley of the Kern is the
field of these marvelous creations.
F ood, N ot S uffrage .—The Wash
ington Chronicle, an exponent of gov
ernment policy, editorially appeals for
regular employment for the freedmen
of the South, so as to secure them food,
raiment and shelter, arguing that it is
not the right of suffrage that they are
clamorous for, which yeilds no support,
but that the cry which comes from
them is for means to procure subsist
ence* Doubtless, except where stim
ulated to it by those designing politi
cians who would use them, the freed
men are troubling themselves very lit
tle about suffrage—at present, at least.
T he A tlantic C able's E nd.—
The soundings made by the British
Admirality while the new Atlantic ca
ble was preparing, show that the ocean
bed along which it is to be laid is
much more favorable than before sup
poHed. The engineers find that it is
comparatively smooth and free from all
abrupt ascents or descents, and that
the grades in fact will not be much
greater than those of British railroads.
The bed, moreover, is of such geolog
ical formation that the cable will he
firmly in it without danger of wearing
from attrition.
R esumption of the S hipment of
C otton to E urope .—The legitimate
shipments of cotton from this country
to Europe have, after four years of
interruption, been resumed. Shipping
has been engaged in the port of New
York alone, within a few days for the
transportation of 8000 bales to Liver
pool, and vessels are also being laden
at the Northern ports.
W eather C ontrasts .—On the
morning of the 5th of July, at 8:30,
the telegraph tells us, the mercury
stood in a Fahrenheit, Mount Wash
ington, at 32 degrees below zero.
Here it was about 80 degrees above
that figure, at that moment. Would
it not be pleasant if one could
"bold a fire in his hand,
By thinking of the frosty Caucasus?"
[ jy , O. Picayune.
M ayor's A ppointments .—Mayor
Kennedy has made the following ap
pointments of Directors of the New
Orleans, Opelousas and Great West
ern Railroad : W m. Hepp, F. P.
Duconge and Newton Richards, vice
James F. Tucker, G. A. Fosdick
and G. W. R. Bayley. The remain
ing directors will be elected on the
25th, in accordance with President
Johnson's order.— New Orleans True
