Governor Of District Of Columbia.

lHE New, York Tribune, to some recent
financial rumors and reports from this city,
asks "who Is Secretary Of the Treasury"
the insinuation, nay, the assertion, being
that the President is acting without consul
tation with Mr. Richardson. Suppose he Is.
What OF It? Tho people look to the Prcs-
dent In tho present difficulty, and unless we
arc mistaken tho Tribune will find out that
they do not look to him In vain. The sug-
gestiou that Mr.. Richardson should resign is,
Of course, a mere rhetorical flourish.
SOME MONTHS AGO the great journalistic
luminary Of Louisville, KY, Mr.. Henry Wat
terson, undertook to tell convention Of
rural editors what ho knew about journalism,
aud especially the London phase Of It. Mr..
Wattcrson, 1t seems, did not know wfiat he
was talking about. The assertions that 'thc
English press is conducted by scholarly dunn
niles, who, dwelling In London, to which the
press Is confined, arc able to live rcclusc
live, and who, being for the most part the
employees Of men who publish newspapers as
they would traffic In brcadstuffs, are not
paid enough or permitted TO display costly
and offensive Individuality" is severely
handled by Mr.. Geo W. smalley, the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune, and It's
utter absurdity fully shown. Taking the staff
Of the London Times, Mr.. smallcy points to

yeara, who is one of the best known figure. In

DEAR siR Although stranger to you,
under the following circumstances hope you
will pardon me for imposing on your most
valuable time. l take the liberty Of address,
Ing you, and ask In return kind answer to
my questions, hoping to be able at some
future day to thank you personally. Three
years ago my family and myself left Califor-
MIA, after twenty years residence and hard
toll, for change Of climate on account OF
my wlfcs health, and to use the warm springs

capital OF our glorious republic being A No.
and without doubt.
Since then different rumors got to circula.-
lug here, damaging to the fair credit OF your
District and consequently Its bonds went
down more than twenty per cent, aud II Is
sad tue District Oh Iolumoia VIII be unable
to pay the interest on Its debt. Now, sir, u
this should turn out to be true, would

awful. Therefore ask again, please answer
tho following questions as early as possible,
knowing that in your honorable position you
arc enabled to know the financial condition
OF your District, and, in fact, are Identified
with IL, and eau therefore relieve mo and
family Of our anxiety: First arc those ru-
iuors about the inability Of your District to
pay Its honorable debts false, and will the
coupons OF said bonds be regularly paid and
second, would you advise me to hoi on TO
these bonds, and not sell them with consider
able loss, or how?
Any other information regarding the Sc
curity Of said bonds either from the District
or Congress will be thankfully received.
Hoping these rumors, which can hardly

out by INSCRIPTIONS Spectators, l shall
await your kind answer as carly as possible.

account for the came. The examina-
ton Of the case was fixed for Monday
last, July 9TH, but before the hour of
trial, council for prosecution appeared
in the Recorders Court and filed q
motion for discontinuance of pro-
ceedings and cancellation Of bond of
accused, which was ordered by the
court. Mr.. Smith himself did NOT
make his appearance upon the day
named, but q representative effected
q temporary arrangement Of the mat
ter, which resulted in q withdrawal
of the charge and saved the securities
of accused from being mulcted in the
amount of the appearance bond of
$1,000.

It is rumored that u number of our
first families contemplate spending
the summer months in pleasant retire
ment at the beautiful watering place
Port Barrow. Esconced in the cool
shaded the stately trees which line
its magnificent avenues and adorn the
grounds of its splendid hotels, riding
or walking upon the sandy beach by
moonlight, bathing in the surf of the
limpid Father Of Waters, and drinking
the health giving waters Of the ice
springs, it would require but q slight
stretch Of the imagination to think
ores self in veritable paradise on
earth. Oh, ye who swelter in the
lighthouses of Donaldsonville and the
other large Cities visit the sylvan
precincts Of Port barrow and be cool
and happy.

DONALDsONVILLE HONORED.

A Distinguished Visitor to Our Town,
and his Experience While Herein
spection Of Streets and Gutters-Al-
most an Inquest.
One day during the present week
the town Of Donaldsonville was fav-1
ored VII q visit from a distinguished
individual not unconnected with the
mechanical and editorial departments
of a,newPaper published in the par
ish Of St. Vohn the Baptist, and the
event is oqe-of such unusal import
ance that We can not allow it to pass
by without something more than mere
casual menaSn. Out Of regard for
the tender sensibilities Of the visitor
and his modest dislike Of having his
name and many virtues paraded in
public print, r. shall suppress the
cognomen by which he is known to an
immense circle of admirers, but as he
has never before paid our town the
honor of visit the circumstance must
be mentioned, that it may be treas.
ured in the memories of the present
generation of Donaldsonvillians and
handed down to their posterity as a
red letter page of local history. This

the tame life he was leading while his
country was in danger, SO he joined
the swelling ranks Of the nations de-
tenders just after it was evident the
tide Of victory had set in, and rushed
forth with commendable ardor. True

ans, thus discusses the Indication
movement sz s
At the present time it is impossible
to tell whether the Unificati0n party
will or will not prove a success. The
question Of "equal rights to alln does
not appear to take very well with a
large mass of the voters Of New Or
leans. There is yet too much of the
Bourbon spirit existing in that city
for general departure from Che beaten
track of politics for years to come.
But the change will come assuredly,
and they will only be consulting their
best interests by swallowing the dose
at once, no matter how bitter and
distasteful it may be. No new party
can win this State under any other
banner than Of equal rights to every
man. To be in keeping with the pro-
gress of the times, the Fusion party
IN New Orleans, or rather its leaders,
have emblazoned upon their banners
that motto, and is determined to fight
under itsin the next campaign. An
other sign of returning season. And
we have the Republican. party well
organized in the field, which has
maintained equal rights as the cardinal
principle Of the organization, offering
the same rights and privileges to col
orcd men that are enjoyed by those
of Caucasian origin, and all claiming
to be headed by the best men in the
State! Is it not a revolution in public
opinion ofthe most startling character !
Who would have. thought such a
change possible two years agei : But
the change has come ground has been
broken-the seed planted and we will
see the fruit in the next campaign.
We sincerely believe the new turn
affairs have taken in this State will
lead to the NEST beneficial results.
We want peace and harmony among
us, and, above ell, we want q better
class Of men in our legislative coun-
ellis than We have had Tor some years
past. This great desideratum can
easily be accomplished by cheerfully
according their voters the same priv
ileges with ourselves. We congratu-
late the Unifcation party upon hav-
ing adopted a platform wise, sensible
and in accordance with the spirit Of
the times. The acknowledged stand
ing and ability Of it's founders, of col
ors, is sufficient guarantee that they
will carry out their pledges in good
faith. The Fusionists will entraI
but few. with their tardy promises to
colored voters. The bait is too trans.
parent-it leaves the hook visible
The Uni6cation party is composed q
different material. It inspires conf
dence and respect with both classes
But not so with the Fusionists-tht
old cohorts OF Democracy have shifted
their colors SO often that they woull
make even chameleon blush at the
rapidity of the changes.

NEW CHuRtH.-The lumber to be
used in the construction Of the new
Episcopal church has arrived, and
work upon the foundation is begun.
The contract for building the edifice
was awarded to Mr.. Richard Fletcher,
a we'll known New Orleans builder,
whose reputation is guaranty that the
job will be performed in excellent
manner. The site selec ted for the
church is a parish lot situated on the
lower side. of the Place d''Armes, cor
ner of Attakapas street, which lot has
been leased from the parish for term
Of fifteen years at a merely nominal
rate. The situation is an excellent
one, and no doubt the new structure
will greatly improve the appearance
of the locality.

Gard of Thanks.

EDITOR CHIEF:
Dear Sir-The members of the St. Mary
Benevolent Society desire to return thanks
through the columns of the CHIEF to the St.
Joseph Brass Band for their kind attendance
and good music at our Fair, to the merchants
Of Donaldsonville for advancing the articles
needed for the Fair, also to the D. S. c. B.
Association for the loan Of their torches, and
to the public in general for their attendance.
We made application to the Ascension
Leader to publish this card, but it failed to
do SO. therefore we apply to you. By giving
this a place in your columns you will confer
a great favor upon the Association.
AUGUST COLIN,
Secretary St. Mary Benevolent Society.
We publish the above card with
pleasure, notwithstanding the rather
equivocal compliment paid the CHIEF
in the concluding paragraph. As the
CHIEF gave an extended notice of the
Fair, while the Leader ignored it en-
tirely, it seems rather strange that
the Association should go to the Lead
er to have their card published, and
only come to us as a last resort. The
refusal of the Leader to insert the
card will perhaps teach the members
of the St. Mary Society that in the fu-
ture it will be better to apply for fav-
ors to those who have shown them
selves to be their friends by actions,
and in this way avoid being snubbed
as they have apparently been in the
present instance.
