We have been presented with a
sample of sugar made on the st. James
estate, and we, believe that it will
compare fayorably with any made in
the State. The color is very light,
while the grain is as clear as crystal.
The yield on the st. James estate has
been very fair for the season, and the
quality of the sugar made, excellent.

The colored citizens of Donaldson
vile had intended Cto have a public
meeting on Thanksgiving day, for the
double purpose of concentrating the
day and passing resolutions of regret
for the death of the late lamented
Lieutenant Governor of. Louisiana,
Hon. Oscar j. Dunn, but the cold,
rainy weather which prevailed pre-
vented the fulillment of the planned
demonstration. The sorrow felt for
the loss of the universally respected
colored man who so faithfully filed
the second Office of the State govern
ment isgeperal, and this sorrow seems
to have drowned all recollection of
the mistaken political course. pursued
by Mr.. Dunn during the last few
months of his life. Only his virtues
and good actions are remembered, and
there are no more sincere mourners for
his demise to he found than am0ng
those opposed to the faction to which
he had allied himself.

TERRIBLE SToRM.-From the Thib-
odaux Sentinel of Saturday before last
we extract the following:
On Monday before last a tremend-
Gus hurricane passed over the planta-
ton of Mrs. Thomas Pugh, near Ma
poleonville, in the parish of Assump-
ton, blowing down the purgery and
cooling room, in which were some 40
hogsheads of sugar, part of it in the
coolers, the cane shed, part of the over
seer's house, stable, cornerib, several
cabins ana other buildings, killing one
man and injuring several others. This
gale did not do any other serious dam
age in the vicinity. The sugar MAX
ing was going on at the time, and it
is wonderful that no more persons
were killed. The wind in this parish
was severe occasionally, but we have
heard of nothing serious having been
occasioned thereby.
Since writing the above we learn
from Mr.. D. B. Pugh some further
particulars of this singular cyclone.
1t was formed in front Of the residence
and did not travel more than twenty
arpents and was about 200 yards wide.
The venerable Madam Pugh was
standing on the front gallery, with
her hand upon a.heavy wooden bench.
The old lady was lifted up and carried
very nearly 100 feet before striking
the earth, and escaped with some
severe bruises, whilst the bench was
smashed into thousand pieces. One
white and one colored man were in
stantly killed and two others will
probably die from injuries received.
Several were caught within the falling
buildings and miracrllously escaped.
A small voot extending from the
main building to the bagasse burner,
was carried some 40 or so yards kill
ing mule in its course.
The walls of, the buildings over
thrown are flat to the ground. The
cyclone apparently passed around
the engine and boiling room which
received no injury. ~ !.

Eliza Warfield was found laying in
gutter on Houmas street, Friday
morning about tive o'clock, in an
insensible condition. The SUPPOSE
ton is that she Lad been drinking
and had fallen into the gutter, went
to sleep, and lain there all night. A
drizzling rain had been falling and
the atmosphere was very cold, and
it is probable that. if Eliza had not
been discovered when she was, she
would have died from exposure. As
it was, her life was dispaired of for
some time, but she is now out of
danger. We are told that she has
husband who maltreats her in a
most shameful manner, and frequently
turns her out of the house at night
and locks the door against her. IF it
shall transpire that he was guilty of
such action Thursday night, he should
be made to suffer for it.

The Late Lieutenant Governor.

[From the Louisville Courier-Journal.I
The death of Lieutenant Governor
Dunn of Louisiana, which occurred at
his residence in New Orleans yester-
day, is of no little Importance. Oscar
j. Dunn was negro, and was, per
haps justly, regarded as the political
leader of his race in this country.
He was man of more depth than
Reyels, the Mississippi Senator, and,
though in the scale of official position
he was hardly so high, it is very pro-
bable that in time he would have
made a reputation for good, sound
sense superior to the other and sur.
passed him IN every respect. At the
time of his death, Dunn was the ac-
knowledged leader of the Grant wing
of the Louisiana Republicans, and
was engaged in a movement which,
there are many reasons to believe,
had for its ultimate object the eleya-
ton of his name to the place of Vice
President upon the Republican ticket
next year, or in 1876 at the farthest.
In his "black mans partly move
Iment in Louisiana he had the sanction
and support of General Grant, and it
is believed that the President was
willing to take Dunn with him upon
the ticket. The object of this move
ment was the concentration of the
African vote of the country in one
solid phaplanx, with an Interior view
to the triumph of the extreme of the
Radical party. The immediate object
of the movement in Louisiana, was
the impeachment of Warmoth and his
party. What effect the death of Dunn
will have in this regard, is hard to
tell. 1t may be the triumph of the
anti-Grant party.
Lieutenant Governor Dunn was a
large, portly, well proportional, good
looking man of his class, with consid-
cradle affability of manner, and pleas
ing expression of countenance. He
presided over the State Senate with a
notable dignity, propounding motions
with a distinctness, and exhibiting a
perfect familiarity with parliamentary
rules. The distinguishing character
of his intellect was common sense, to
which might be added, among his
highest moral traits, sense of pro-
priety. His speeches were always
brief, though he spoke sensibly enough,
and with cOmmendable tluency. His
death will be a severe blow to the
Grant party in that State.

Proceedings of special meeting of
the Common Council, held on Friday
of last week, will be. found in this
issue. It will be seen that the pro-
prietor of this paper has been awarded
the contract for the publication of the
proceedings of the Council, at one
hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The action of the Council in authoriz-
ing the Committee of Pubiic Works to
employ a person to keep the cutters
and drains of the town streets in a
cleanly condition, and also keep
bridges in repair, was very wise and
will be generally approved by our
citizens. re- az-
Yesterday, December LIST, the train
which runs daily between Donaldson
vile and New Orleans, left this town
at seven o'clock, A. NJ, arriving in
New Orleans at 1855, leaving again at
3, and reaching here at 7:15 in the
evening, and this will hereafter con-
stitute the regular schedule of time.
Although everybody seemed to think,
before the change was made, that it
would be great convenience, we have
yet to meet the first person that is
pleased with the new schedule. A pc
tition will be addressed to the railroad
company by large number of citizens
of town and parish, asking a return to
the former system. We shall recur to
the subject next week.
