fculties will not interrupt the ma
terial progress of the country, To-
which bountiful crops Of bread
stufs and en- immense yield Of cot
ton will largely contribute. About
December Of the present year, and
the position Of the planet Merou-
~ with respect to the Sun, toward
the close Of that month, points un-
mistakably to a speedy resumption
Of specie payments. The Canadi-
an Fishery question and the Ala
bama claim viii be satisfactorily
adjusted, either in this year or Ia
1872. Strong efforts will be made
to add a new territory to the re-
public, but they via not prove sue
cessful at present.
A reduction of taxation and Of
the expenditure Of the government
viii be loudly demanded by the
people, and prominent members OF
all political parties win unite IN
this demand.
In Europe the death BY violence
+. Of one crowned head, and the gene
raj revolt Of his subjects against
another, are events which the 81
lent language of the stars declares
to be imminent. Warl War
War is written over all that por-
ton Of the siderial system which
oYer-arches the continent of Eu-
rope and a portion of Western A.
sia, and bloody strife, involving
enormous expenditures of blood
and treasure, may be anticipated.
In spite of all this, republican prin-
ciples viii everywhere gain ground
and even the conquerors in the
struggle between antagonistic des-
potisms viii be compelled to make
vast concessions to the people. A
distinguished statesman, now figu-
ring prominently in European di-
plomacy, viii probably die before
the year closes. Bread riots of a
formidable character viii occur In
Western Europe, and the exporta-
ton of the staples of life from Al
merica to the transatlantic regi.
ons desolated by war, and any
thing in the clutch of famine, sWiI
be unprecedented in our CONNER
cial history.
From the horrors with which the
stars menace the nations of the
Old World, the land we hive in vii
be almost exempt. The shining
| eyes of Heaven look kindly dow
upon the land Of freedom, anl
| while tyrants fall and despotism
crumble, its course, as pre6guret
in the worlds horoscope, is upWarl
and onward Morning, Moo
end Night.

The singularly accurate fulfil
5nent.of some Of the prophecies OF
1870. made in-the last issue of
Morning, Noon and Night, occa-
stoned no small amount of aston

readers. Letters have been recei-

In various parts Of the country, in
luiring the character of the oeles-

lions were based, and the method
Of calculation employed in arriving
at conclusions so truthful. Other
parties, who seem to have mista-

an ordinary soothsayer, have writ

as ii they had been addressing
some advertising charlatan, who
retails his blind guesses at so much
per fib. Once for all, We would
say that the gentleman who fur
nishes'the annual horoscope, and
other astrological data for this
publication, limits his prophecies
to its pages. He has faith In as
trology, Of which he has unques-
tionably a more profound knowl-
edge than any other man on this
side Of the Atlantic. Without ex-
pressing an opinion as to whether
implicit reliance is to be placed on

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-10-28

The Carrollton State Register pre-
fers some astonishing charges against
the New Orleans Patriot-almost as
astonishing, and certainly as true, as
those made against Governor War
moth by the Patriot
The Patriot lives under the impress
sion that it is better to charge a man
with offenses, even though the proof
is not to be had, than to remain silent
alto gether. So here goes. The Pat
lot shot its grandmother, poisoned a
maiden stepfather, committed bigamy
with two edged six-shooter, set fire
to Chicago, imported the quarantine
into Texas, and is using SO much Mis-
sissippi water in its liquor that the river
threatens to quit running down that
way. These are samples of the indict-
ment that man has furnished who
thinks he must write, whether he
writes the truth or not.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-10-28

In Philadelphia, ON the I'd inst. a
man named Thomas Buckley, sixty
four years of age, was admitted to the
almshouse in estate of supposed in
toxication, and placed in what is called
the drunken ward. AS he appeared
to be suffering from some injury, he
was transferred to the surgical ward,
thence to the out ward, and finally
back to the drunken ward again, with
out the nature of his hurt being as
certained. During all this time he
was gradually sinking, and on the 9TH
he died. A post norton examination
was made, when it was discovered
that a knife blade about two inches
long had been driven through his skull
above and in front of the ear, and was
imbedded almost its entire length in
the brain. The blade was not broken
off, but appeared to have come from
the handle by the loosening of its ri
vets. 1t was covered over by the
skin, and but slight wound was left
to show where it had entered. No
body knows how or when the injury
was inflicted but the really remark
able feature of the case is that the
man should nave lived at least nearly
a week with knife penetrating his
brain to such a depth.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-10-28
WHY HE SIGNED IT,

The Republican Pioneer, of st. John
the Baptist, charges Governor War
moth with endeavoring to create a
false impression that he has always
been opposed to the Louisiana Levee
Company, Notwithstanding the fact
that he signed the bill creating that
company. The Pioneer intimates that
there were some little circumstances
connected with the passage and sign
ing of that bill which are not known
to the public as yet, but which it prom
ises to ventilate at some future time.
AT the meeting of planters and citi-
zens generally, held at the Court house
on Saturday last, Governor Warmoth
explained his reason for signing the
bill in question, and the explanation
appeared perfectly satisfactory to his
auditors, ourself among them. The
Governor said that the remarkable
unanimity with which the measure
was passed by both Houses of the
General Assembly, eonclusively salts
fed him that a veto would not kill it,
and finding that he could procure a
modification of the provisions of the
bill by consenting to sign it, he chose
rather to take that course than have
it passed over his veto in its original
state. He declared that he had re-
garded the measure from the first as a
swindle gotten up in the interests of
STOCKHOLDERS and spectators, but,
being powerless to avert the evil, he
was obliged to be content with doing
the next best thing: securing a modi-
fication of its worst points.
This statement certainly has all the
appearance of truth, and we shall ac-
cep9 it as such until we have positive
proof to the contrary. We shall wait
for the Pioneer to make its effort to
present this proof, and also to reveal
those g little circumstances to which
it has so mysteriously referred.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-10-28

In looking over copy of the New
York World, q leading Democratic
newspaper, we observed that A. T.
Stewart, Republican, is one of the
principal advertisers. He is one of
the most successful busines men in the
United States. Now, what inference
can be drawn from that fact It is
this: The World, being a journal of
general circulation is, therefore, good
advertising medium, and Mr.. Stewart,
being wise merchant, takes advant-

is injurious from the fact that at every
point where it operates there is lack
of some essential of business or social
activity.-Attakapas Register.
