We acknowledge with much pleas
ure the compliment Of q serenade
which was rendered the Chief last
Saturday evening by that excellent
musical organization, the Donaldson
vile Silver Cornet Band. The band
presented d fine appearance, their
highly polished instruments flashing
brilliantly in the light Of the torches,
and their splendid music filling the
clear night air with delicious harno-
ny, enchanting to the ear and soothing
to the senses. The community may
well be proud Of the Silver Cornet
Band, fo7 it is one that will compare
f.vorably with any in the State. We
thank the gentlemen for the honor be-
slowed upon the CHIEF, assuring them
that nothing we can do to aid the OBJ
jects of their organization shall be left
undone.

The ass-meeting and barbecue
held at Dominique's Landing, last
Saturday, by the supporters of Grant
and Kellogg appears to have been an
entirely satisfactory affair to those
interested. Not having been able to
attend in person we can give no prop
er estimate Of the number Of people
who were present. The reports reach
ing us are of widely conflicting ma
ture, varying according to the sym
pathies of the different persons giving
them. Suffice it to say that the meet
ing was a quiet and orderly one, in
that respect really exceptienable. Our
Grant and Kellogg friends feel per-
fectly confident of carrying the parish,
and if they do it quietly and fairly,
we shall have no objections.

BURNSIDE BASE BALL CLUB.-In
addition to four musical and one dra-
matte organization, Donaldsonvile can
now boast base ball club. The meet
ing for the permanent organization of
this club was held last Monday eve
ming at p. NJ, thirteen persons being
represented at the gathering. A report
from the committee on constitution
and by laws was received and adopted
without amendment, and the follow
ing officers elected to serve one year:
G. A. Younger, president; L. f. Bent
ley, yice-president; w. G. Wilkin-
son, secretary; JOS. Lafargue, treas
urer; Leonard Duffel, VIM. Tearney
and Chas. Oberkamp, board of direc-
tors. The regular meeting of the club
will occur Oh the first Monday of each
month at s o'clock P. NJ, and practice
games will be played on the public
square every Sunday afternoon, COM
mencing at 4 o'clock. The name
unanimously agreed upon for the club
was Burnside in compliment to Mr..
John Burnside, the largest property
holder and tax payer Of the parish,
and we feel confident that after q little
practice our Donaldsonville club will
be able to enter the lists with any other
like organization in this section of the
State, and will reflect credit upon
themselves and the distinguished gen
tlelnen whose name they have adopt
ed. Long live the Burnsides!

If the Liberal parish convention
which is to assemble at the Court
House to-day desires to nominate a
ticket that will have the least show of
success, then it must place upon that
ticket fair proportion Of candidates
who have heretofore been in political
accord and association with the col
ored voters. That is the only way in
which the immense colored majority
can he overcome. 70 nominate set of
candidates who have held themselves
aloof from the colored people, and
who have always looked upon Repub-
licans with real or assumed contempt,
will be time wasted for nothing. Such
ticket would be certain of defeat,
and such ticket we, for one, will
not support.

sal satisfaction. Another game will be
played on the same grounds to-mor-

The long spell Of dry weather which
prevailed in this section was broken
last Saturday evening by a refreshing
shower Of rain, which, though not Of
sufficient duration to fill the empty
cistcrns and furnish our people with
clear and pure water fresh from the
skies, sti1l proved an infinite blessing
BY relieving us Of that irritating tor
ment--llust. There has been no other
shower since Saturday, SO the dust is

need of water. It has threatened
to rain several times during the week,
but it didn't succeed.

BROKE JAIL.-Joseph Garcia, who
shot and killed John Hesbrest in the
Railroad coffee-hou last week, es-
capped from Jail Wednesday night and
has not been seen or heard Of since.
It seems that the kind hearted jailor,
Mr.. Antoine Guilfort, in order to rem
der his prisoner as comfortable as pos
sible, and never dreaming that he
would be SO despicable as to take adj
vantage of it, allowed him to sleep in
his (the jailor's) own room, where the
bed and accommodations were better
than in the cells of the jail. Some
time between one and two o'clock,
and while the jailor was absent from
the room administering medicine to a
sick prisoner under his charge, Garcia
arose and left the apartment, and go
ing into the yard found a long piece
Of plank which he placed in a slanting
position against the high fence, and
by that means was enabled to scale the
same and escape. Before leaving his
bed he arranged the bedelothes in such
a manner as to make it appear to the
observer that the bed was still occu-
pied, and owing to this subterfnge his
escape was not discovered until hall
or three-uuarters of an hour after it
occurred. Immediate measures were
