The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-02-03

Fhe friends of the President are not
the only persons who will be heartily
glad to learn that there is not word
of evidence which tends to implicate
Mr.. Grant in any of the scandalous
transaction with which he has been
charged by partisan opponents in con-
nection with the custom house. There
is proof that he was imposed on in the
matter of the general order of bust
ness; there is proof that his name was
used to impose on others; there is
some reason for suspecting that one or
two of his intimate associates connived
at this use of his name. But the evi-
denee affords no excuse for assailing
his personal integrity, and journals
which have INDUCED their temper in
aspersions of this kind would act wise
ly to retract them at once.-N. L.

The Brownsville Bee, Of the 18th, has
the following with reference to that most
popular and obliging conductor Of the
Bonneville Accommodation train, G. G..
Noyes, who recently visited Florida for
the benefit Of his health:
Last Friday night party Of our eit;-
zens assembled at the Nelson House to
present suit of clothes to this gentle
man, accompanied with ring, addresses
and other appropriate ceremonies, as q
testimonial OF the high esteem in which
they hold his character as a man and his
services as n public servant Our gifted
and gentlemanly young towDsman Mr..
James G. Medlin had been selected TO
present the clothes and make the pre-
sentation speech. In reply Mr.. Noyes
spoke substantially as follows:
GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDS: II is unu-
this. You all know that am no speech
maker. Though quiet man, you will
excuse little noise (Noyes) on this
occasion. For the beautiful present, !
thaEk you, coming as / know it does
from true and disinterested friends.
When arrayed in these elegant garments
! trust that the memory of the generous
givers may be ever fresh in my mind,
and when they are worn and threadbare
still may the web Of our friendship en-
durel / will only add the sincere hope
that soon with reinvigorated health
may return from the Land of Flowers
aud long continue those services that
you seem to so warmly and unduly
esteem
This was followed by the presentation
rof the ring by Hon. w. w. Rutledge,
who in his own happy style made suita.
BILE reference to the emblematical and
significant form, durability and purity.
A general good time at the supper
table, presided over by Mayor j. w.
PEBBLES, followed Toasts, expressive
of the wishes OF all for the speedy res.
torahon to health of Mr.. Noyes, were
offered by various guests present, and
everything that could cheer the invalid
on his departure to Florida for his health
was said or indicated.

At the we'll known clothing house of
Walker Brothers e. Co., No. 23l Main
street, closing out sale is progressing,
which is of the utmost Importance to our
citizens. The proprietors desiring to
deal exclusively in the wholesale cloth
ing and dry goods business feel COM
PEELED to quit the retail branch, and
have concluded to sell off their entire
retail stock OF clothing and furnishing
goods, regardless of cost. The sales will
continue for sixty days, which will give
our citizens ample time and opportunity
to arrange for their purchases. Now is
the time to purchase the best clothing at
the lowest possible figures. Walker
Brothers & Co. mean exactly what they
say in their advertisement, which will
be found on another page. Do not for
get to attend these closing out sales as

The banks generally report currency rather
scarce, ana in some instances the supply Of
small bills has dwindled down to almost moth
ing. Shipments are arriving daily, however.
and It is not likely that business will suffer
from that cause. The demand for money is
fully US active as during the week, and though
the banks are not loaning to outsiders. they
do not permit business to suffer, and are man
aging exceedingly well when We consider the
tardiness of the returns of cotton bills. Ex-
change is in fair supply. and rates on New Or
leans arc steady to-day at nc discount buying,
par being the counter rate for selling. One
bank was offering 500. 900 on that point to-day
to its neighbors. but did not find a purchaser.
New York and Boston. as well as bills on 9TH

&c discount, with an exception when regular
customers were served. when 5sc was the rate
reported. In selling par is the rate charged
on all points. Gold opened at ll2h in New
York. but declined to ill7s, and subsequently,

There is some talk of an advance in the price
Of Memphis Gas-light Company's stock, as
well as that of the Gayoso Gas Company. and
consolidation is once more rumOred as being
probable. There were no offerings of either,
however. The city indebtedness also attracts
considerable attention. and the prospects Of
the probability of the payment of the January
interest is freely discussed; but no conclusion
has yet been arrived at. 1t is safe to say.

A YOUNG man named A. G. Ewing, Of
Nashville, committed suicide in Pulaski
several days ago. He arrived in Pulaski
on the cars, and after calling for his
breakfast, and taking three or four
drinks of liquor, he went to a drug
store, where he purchased three.fourths
of pound of chloroform, with which,
after he had retired to his room, he
saturated three pillow slips, and lying
down on the bed, placed the slips upon
his face, and then put an inverted wash
bowl over his head, thus effectually re-
tanning all the fumes of the deadly
liquid. He belonged to Confederate
cavalry company during the war, from
Marshall county, and was wounded at
Fort Pillow in the right leg, which me-
cessitated its amputation above the
ankle,

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The sudden change to cold again will for the
present at least preclude all possibilities Of a
sufficient rise to improve the river channel in
any direction, and although the river is cut
ting out some above and below, there is
not more than five feet hence to Cairo. and six
feet at Reeves and Horn Lake bars below.
The Ohio improves but little below Louisville.
and even last week rise of three feet al Pitts
burg will not make more than one foot more
water below Evansville. The river above
Cairo is not yet open. and all streams below
here are in a terribly bad condition, and no
prospects Of any Improvement. Last night
the wind veered around to the northwest and
cleared the sky of clouds, but to-day it is cold
and cloudy.
