Muff' Tbe President's Message it at
hand, but its great length precludes
the insertion of it in oar columns
We hope in our next number to lay
before our readers a Bumraary of its
leading features.
V3T Hon. J. M. T aylor , Senator
from this parish, favored us with a
call yesterday, on his arrival from
New Orleans. He comes as Chair
man of the Senate Committee on the
Penitentiary (to which he has been
appointed in the place of Mr. E aqan),
in order to look into the affairs of
that institution and to make a report
thereon. He informs us that the
various Legislative Committees will
be prepared he thinks, to make their
reports next week, and that then the
Legislature will be enabled to pro
ceed with the work which will be
cut out for it, in earnest.
ty Thanksgiving Day (Thurs
day,) was very generally observed
by the inhabitants of our city and
vicinity. Nearly every place of busi
ness wns closed, and our streets were
alive with pedestrians—civil and
military—numbers of whom were
rigged out in their best "bib and
tnckor," enjoying the holiday. The
day was beautiful and serene, the
atmosphere delightfully cool and
bracing, and altogether meet for an
occasion intended to inspire the soul
with emotions of praise and thank
fulness to the Great Giver of bles
sings. Good order and quiet reigned,
and among the principal investments
made were such as contributed to
the comfort and good cheer of the
"inner man."
Gov. W ells on Wednesday
submitted to the Legislature a dis
patch from Mr. J acob B arker at
Washington aoouncing that the Re
publican Congressmen Caucus had
resolved to refer to the Committee
on Crededentials the applications of
the Southern members for seats.
S ensibl * A dmonition .—A voice
from Mr. J. D. B. D e B ow , (who hu
become a most zealous " reoonstruc.
tionist,") admonishes the South, in
view of her future amelioration and
prosperity that "must throwsheherim
merjse uncultivated domain into the
market at a low price ; reduce the
quantity of land held by individual
proprietors, and resort to intelligent
and vigorous measures at the earliest
moment, to induce an influx of popu
lation aud capital from abroad."
ry J ames A. S kddon , Secretary
of War of the late Confederacy and
ex -Governor M agrath , of South
Carolina, were released from Fort
Pulaski recently upon their taking
the amnesty oath.
/!•#" Extract from a letter dated
Alexandria, Egypt, October 9, 1865:
"Alexandria i» every day growing
like a garden. In the cholera time,
80,000 people left the place, and
aiuee they commenced to return they
amount to 200,000—only think what
an increase of population ! The house
rents have been doubled, the streets
look like bee hives, and everybody
that is not idle finds a way of living"
—"We enjoy a perfect health here.'
T jmelt and C haracteristic.—
We learn with pleasure that Gen,
Sheridan, in command of this military
section, has signalized his adminis
tration by another deed of character
istic forethought and good feeling, in
issuing an order to the (Quartermaster
to furnish firewood to the associations
for the relief of the poor widows and
orphans in this city.— N. O. Timet.

Our Public Thoroughfares.
The absence of requisite funds in
the coffers of cur bodies corporate,
has compelled a resort to extraneous
aid toward accomplishing some of our
public works of immediate necessity.
It is gratifying to observe that a
goodly number of our business mem
appreciating their own and the public
interests, are responding to the call
made upon them for pecuniiry assist
ance in the matter of repairing the
Plank Road leading from Baton
Rouge to Clinton, and thereby ren
dering it once more a safe and prac
ticable route for purposes of transpor"
tation and travel. The spirit thus an
imating the business portion of our
community will meet, we trust, with
a corresponding spirit on the part of
those equally interested along the
route, and particularly of the Clinton
community.
We give below the names of those
wbo subscribed to this important work
on the solicitation of a committee
composed of our merchants and oth
ers, of whi' h our enterprising fellow
citizen, M <jor S. M. II art, whs chair
man. It is worthy of rrrnark, that the
amount subscribed, w»s the work of
only a couple of days, and I ihb ena
bled the oommittee to pUoe upon the
Road some sixteen workman with
proper implements to parlor m and
keep up the necessary rep>irHtir>ns :
S. M. Hart #100, O. Walltrich $40, C.

#5. 8. Bareno #5, Looia Kondert #15 Lar

The work then, having fairly begun,
and under encouraging auspices, we
hope will not be allowed to fall
through or l'aller for the lack of any
further asHistance that may hereafter
be required. Its utility is unquestion
ably of great importance. The mu
tual advantage* which must accrue
from it to this city and Clinton, make
it an enterprise worthy the unwa
vering support of the commercial
classes of the two placée, as well as the
agricultural inhabitants along the
Road and its vicinity.
Before taking leave of this subject
we feel it our duty to notice the fact,
that the streets of our city are being
generally well worked and put in
complete repair. The same energy t
bestowed on the roads leading through
the adjacent country, would soon re
deem them from their long neglected
condition and give an impetus
to the value of property in their vi.
cinity, and to the development of a
general prosperity which can hardly be
over-estimated. Onward, then, with
the work of improvement in our mu
nicipal and country thoroughfares.
ty The London Times goes over
a Liverpool Judge pretty roughly
because he insisted that a Quaker
juror should take off his hat. Says
the Times :
" An unusual episode at the Liver
pool Assizes deserves some passing
attention. Upon the jury taking i
their seats in the box on Monday, a
Quaker, who was among their num
ber, kept his hat on. This irregu
larity disturbed the equanimity of
the Judge, Mr. Baron Brainwell, aud
he requested the removal of the hat.
The Quaker urged that conscience
compelled him to keep it on. The
Judge replied that 'conscience no
more compelled him to keep his hat
on than it did his shoes, and that he
must have respect for others,' and
threatened to fine him <£10 if he did
not take off the hat. ' It is a rever
ence for the Almighty,' said the
juryman, « which compels me to keep
it ou,' 'Don't be nonsensical,' re
torted the Judge ; • your reason is
discreditable to common sense.' The
Quaker persisted, and the Judge at
length fined him <£10 and ordered
him to leave the box. 'Any person,'
he ad<lpd> ' with such nonsense in his
head is not fit to sit upon a jury. I
shall call upon him again to-morrow,
and if he still persists in his nonsense,
I shall fine him again.' "
MT* A d attempt was recently
made iu the South Carolina Legi 81a_
ture to adjourn that body from Col.
umbia, the capital, to Charleston,
but the attempt was voted down.

The aggregate of tho different sums
mentioned above ia #321,700, while for last
year it was but #239,675, showing an in
crease of #82,700 in lavor of this last sale.
Ten per cent, of the whole sura is paid by
the purchaser at the time the contraot
is signed, and the remainder in equaj
monthly installments during the year in
which he ia Farmer. The sale was con
ducted strictly according to law, and no
outside privileges were granted in any
instance.
The True Delta favors the free market
system, which will permit of open compe
tition, notwithstanding the above exhibit
of increased revenue, and hopes that before
another year rolls around the condition of
the City Treasury will admit of the adop
tion of Baid system.
F enianism .—A Washington dis
patch says :
"The British Legation here feel no
uneasiness in regard to the spread of
Fenianism, whatever may be feared
from it in unofficial circles in Eng
land. They claim to have thorough
information in regard to the extent,
means and project of the brotherhood.
It is believed that Secretary Seward
has aided the British minister in
procuring information about as effec
tively, aud with as good grace as
Lord Palmerston did Mr. Adams in
regard to the rebel neutrality cases,
which he has not yet forgotten.
Meanwhile the growth of the move
ment is attested by the large sums
of money which it ia known here are
forwarded from all parts of the coun
try, through the mails on draft tax
postal money orders to the chief of
the organization in New York. The
English attaches here characterize
the whole scheme as a kind of swind
ling trick, adopted by shrewd Irish
men, and believe it is only the money
to be made out of it which attaches
leaders to the cause, and which keeps
it alive, through the press, and that
when the subscriptions begin to
dwindle the Fenian movement will
end in smoke. They explain the
precautions of their home authorities
by saying that they are taken not
from fear of the Fenians, but to de
ter the impulsive Hibernians from
endangering their necks as foolishly
as their American competitors are
now wasting their money.

'•I I sn' t S een E den a B edsted."—
An old negro woman from the coun

Bureau in Fredericksburg, wended her
way to the hospital, where she had
been several days, when a lady friend
called at that place for a servant.
The lady, on seeing the old colored
woman, asked her how she was get
