OCAL NTELLIGENCE,
The Weather.
The beautiful weather of the past
few days has greatly cheered the hearts
of our citizens, and enlivened by the
presence of many beautiful •women and
many a batch of pretty children.
Galveston needs good, passible side-
walks, and then people would walk
more and ride less, which would pre-
vent a concentration of our people
around Mason's Corner, as it is now,
the only store in the immediate vicinity
of the terminus of the cars which re-
ceive the benefit of the local trade.
It is to be regretted that some system
of sidewalks cannot be rendered ap-
plicable to our great need in this re"
spect, we have only to wait and hope
and trust, that more practical views of
public use and public facultios for
walking and using our legs, instead of
relying on mule power, way prevail in
the minds of the City Council.
A gay, dashing lothario, answering to
the coguoman of Tom. Osborne, having
concluded to start in business on his
own account, and wishing a partner to
share the profits of his business, en-
gaged Miss Lizzie Turnie, a charming
syren, as full partner in the u. beer
jerking" business, but this financial
scheme proved a dead failure, and the
gay Thomas, hot to be beat, concluded
that Miss Lizzie should contribute her
full share of capital to the concern, and
acting under this suggestion, he ab-
stracted her gold watch and chain
the most valuable of her wearing ap-
paril, and absconded to Galveston,
where he was overhauled, and com-
mitted to durance vile.
Constable Dan. Morton, has been
enforcing the Sunday Law, and the
following firms contributed their quota
to swell the funds of the County
Treasury: M. F. Fernandez & Co., I.
Julia, Migill & Finberg, John Wester-
lege, Kory Bro., H. James, Pat.Tiernan
and others.
A Grand Pie-Nic
Will be given at Diokerson, Friday,
May 3d, the cars will carry passengers
there and return for one dollar. It will
prove a most delightful affair no doubt,
and we do not know of a more agreea-
ble entertainment to be had anywhere
in this vicinity. We advise all who
wish a good time and pleasant company
to be sure and attend this pic-nic.
The Black Crook.
We see from our New Orleans ex-
changes that this brilliant spectacle is
drawing crowded houses. The Pica
yune says:
It has delighted many thousands of
our amusement seekers—old and young.:
Its many beautiful scenes, and - its
great variety of novelties, which make
it so attractive and interesting, can be
enjoyed for only a few weeks longer,
and those who neglect being present
at one or more representations will
deprive themselves of a pleasure which
may not be had here again for many a
year.
One of the many features of the
Black Crook, as it is produced at the
Academy of Music, is the large and
complete grand ballet, with M'lle
Bonfanti as the premiere danseuse,
supported by one of the very best
corps de ballet that has ever been seen
in this city. > '• f:; ,
The rine ballet, the magnificent scen-
ery, the beautiful prismatic efiects, and
the amusing variety introduced, com-
bine to make the entertainment one of
unusual attraction.
The box-office is now open at the
Tremont Opera House fot the sale of
seats.
We are in receipt of a complimentary
ticket from Messrs. Thornton & Mc-
Cormick, for their grand May Ball, to
be given as the Olympic Hall, Market
street, between 24th and 25th, on
Wednesday, May 1st.
We call atttention to the advertise-
ment of Sonnentheil Bros. & Wenk,
they have the finest assortment of dry
goods in the city. We advise our lady
friends to give them a call.
That prince of hotel keepers, John
Summers, the man that knows " how
to keep a hotel," advertises in another
column. It is beyond doubt, the best
hotel in the State.
In the Cases against the police officers,
Justice Nelson dismissed that against
Chief JKempton and the prosecutor,
Capt. Payne, withdrew that against
Deputy Chief McCormick.
The steamboat Wren was sold by the
United States Marshal, to Capt. Roach,
for $3882.

Newspaper Laws.
We would call the special attention of Post-
masters and Subscribers to the following syn-
opsis of the "Newspaper Laws:
I. A Postmaster is required to give notice
by letter, (returning a paper does not answer
the law) when a suDscnber does not take his
paper out of the office, and state the reasons
for its not being taken, and a neglect to do so
makes the Postmaster responsible to the pub-
lisher forthe payment.
H. Any person who takes a paper from the
Postoffice,- whether directed to his name or
another; or' whether he has subscribed or not,
is responsible for the pay.
HI. If a person orders his paper discontinu-
ed, he must pay all arrearages, or the publisher
may continue to send it until the payment is
maae.
IV. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at a certain time, and the publisher
continues te send, the subscriber is bound to
pay for it if he takes it from the Postoffice.
The law proceeds upon the ground that a man
must pay for what he uses.
"V. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the
Postoffice, or removing and having them un-
called for is prima facia evidence of intention-
al fraud. ' • "

THE
NEW YORK TKIBUXE,
FOll 1872.
The consolidation of Italy, so long fragment-
ary aud important, into one powerful State,
with Rome as its capital; the humiliation of
France through a series of crushing defeats,
ending with the siege and capitulation of her
proud and gay metropolis ; the expulsion of
the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and
the substitution for them of a scion of the
most liberal among royal houses; the virtual
absorption of the kingdoms of Saxony, Wiirt-
temberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hess, the Hanse
Towns, &e,, under the headship of Prussia,
into the triumphant and powerful empire of
Germany; and the aiming of Russia to re-
assert her preponderance in the councils of
Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed
but never relinquished designs on the great
city founded by Constantine and the vast but
decaying and anarchical dominion of the
Sultan, all combine to invest with profound
interest the ev§r-changing phases of our tid-
ings from the Old World. The Tribune,
through trusted correspondents stationed at
all points in Europe where great movements are
in progress or imminent, aims to present a
complete and instructive panorama of events
on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged
struggle between middle-age Feudalism and
Ecclcsiasticism ou the one hand and Nine-
teenth-Ceiitury skepticism and secularism
on the * other. Recognizing a Divine
Providence iii all that proceeds and is,
it looks hopefully on the great conflict as des-
tined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve
from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a
fairer and happier future for the toiling masses
of mankind.
In "our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in office has been inaugurated in
our City, whereby the government ol our State
has been revolutionised through an initial
triumph of Reform which surpasses the most
sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain
that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in
its progress, be circumscribed to any locality or
any party, but that its purifying influence is
destined to be felt in every part of the Union,
rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wresting
power from politicians by trade, and confiding
it in those worthiest arid Attest to wield it.
To this beneficent and vitally needed. Reform.
The Tribune will devote its best energies,
regardless of personal interests or party pre-
dilections, esteeming the choice of honest and
faithful men to office as of all New Departures
Jlie most essential and auspicious.
The virtual .surrender by the Democratic
party of its hostility to equal Rights regardless
of Color has divested our current politics of
half their bygone intensity. However parties
may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the
fundamental principles which have hitherto
honorably distinguished the Republicans and
lieneeforth to bo regarded as practically ac-
cepted by the whole country. ' The right of
every man to his own limbs ann sinews—the
equalit y of all citizens before the law—the ina-
bility of a State to enslave any portion of its
people—the duty of the Union to guarantee to
every Citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty
until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad
and firm foundations of our National edifice;
and palside be the hand which shall seek to dis-
place them! Though not yet twenty years old,
the Republican party has completed the noble,
fabric of Emancipatien, and may fairly invoke
thereon the Sternest judgment of Man and the
benignant smile of God.
Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak
and the humble from violence a<id oppression—
to extend the botindaries and diffuse the bless-
ings of Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to
the production of new inveniions for econo-
mizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—
to draw nearer to each other the producers of
Food and Eabrics of Grains and of Metals, and
thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing-
the cost of transportation and exchanges be-
tween farmers and artisans—such is the inspir-
ing task to which this Nation now addresses it-
self, and by which it would fain contribute to
the progress, enlightenment, and happiness of
our race, To this great and-good work. The
Tribune contributes its zealons, persistent
efforts.
. Agricuiture will continue to bemore especially
elucidated in its Weekly and Semi-Weekly
editions to which some of the ablest and most
successful tillers of the soil will steadily con-
tribute. No fanner who sells $300 worth of .pro-
duce per annum can afford to do without our
Market Reports, or others equally lucid aud
comprehensive. If he should read nothing else
bntwhat relates to his own calling and its re-
wards, we believe that no farmer who can read
at all can afford to do without such a journal as
The Tribune. And we aspire to make it equally
valuable to those engaged in other departments
of Productive Labor. Wo spend more and more
money on our columns each year, as our counter-
men's genejous patronage enables us to do';
and we are resolved that our issue of former
years shall be exceeded in varied excellence aud
interest by those of 1872. Friends in every
State! help us to make our journal better, by-
sending in your subscriptions and increasing
your Clubs for the yearjnst before us !
