On Sunday last we enjoyed the real
pleasure OF a trip to New Orleans up
on the splendid steamer Katie, and
we shall take early occasion to repeat
the same, as all who travel upon the
Katie once desire to do SO again. The
dinner with which the passengers were
served shortly after the boat left the
Donaldsonville landing was most
sumptuous meal, and combined with
the supper spread before New Orleans
was reached, was worth almost the
whole of the passage prlce-S2 oo'
We were agreeably surprised to hnd
Mr.. A. McVay, the handsomest clerk
on the river, il the Office, where his
presence will contribute to increase
the already widespread popularity OF
the Katie. We have met Mr.. Mckay

Gov. Kellogg this week appointed
Mr.. Felix Reynaud Of New River a
member of the Police Jury of this
parish, to fill the vacancy caused by
the declination of Mr.. Adeiard Ian
dry. The new appointee is a gentle
man of indomitable vim and energy,
and one who expresses a determina-
ton to labor for the advancement OF
the public interest by assisting III the
speedy reduction Of parish taxation
and Indebtedness and securing q re-
turn to the cash system in the admin
istration of the parochial government.
If this resolve be carried out-and we
do not doubt but it will be-Mr. Rey-
maud will win golden opinions from
our tax burdened people. The Police
Jury as now constituted is a body that
promises to inaugurate much needed
reform, and gain the confidence OF the
community, which the preceding Jury
betrayed and lost. .sE ...-..

The Carroll Lake Republican is quite
complimentary to the CHIEF:
Decidedly the best and most read
able paperin the State Except fcourse,
the Lake Republican, is the Donald
sonyille CHEZ Its editor, Mr.. Lin
den E. Bentley, is a lively young
plumbago spreader, and judging from
the prosperous appearance of his jour
nal the Donaldsonvillians know when
they have got good paper. A few
more such good home papers in this
State would soon kill off these clam
shell outsiders, and raise the standard
of the art preservation.
The Bastrop Republican also has a
good word for US:
The Donaldsonyille CHEF is able,
spicy, and cheerful. Who would not
be cheerful if they handled as many
sreenbacks as the CHIEF editor?

The way that the Town Constable
has been poisoning off stray and
worthless dogs is.a caution to purps.
No less than, forty CANNES have bit
the dust within the past two weeks
under the persuasive influence of med
icated victuals dealt out by the ruth
less hand of the municipal conserva-
tor of the peace. Forty less howlers
to make night hideous to the sick OF
restless Donaldsonvillian; forty less
terrors during dog days; forty more
recruits for the canine land Of Canaan
forty more sllipwrecks barks" lost

pocket Of the Constable. And yet WE

The inclement weather and muddy
streets prevented the procession III
honor of the Fete de Dieu anniversary
from paraaing through town last Sum
day, as was intended. 4 procession
formed at the Catholic Church, how
ever, and, headed by the st. Cecile
band, marched around the ancient
building and after halting for awhile
before the kiosk in the church yard
until some ceremony pertaining to the
occasion was performed, re-entered
the church, where mass was held. The
celebration was largely attended by
our Catholic citizens, who are ever
jealous in performing the require
ments of their religion, and especially
those of the nature Of celebration OF
sacred anniversaries. The St. Mary
Jefferson College band of St. James
did not arrive to participate IN the
ceremonies Of Sunday last.

examined the case Of the State against

and Eugene johnson, the two first
named accused Of having committed
robbery by entering the house of

lars from him by force, the latter
charged with aiding and abetting the
crime. The trio were released upon
giving bonds of 5000 each to appear

The D. S. C. B. Association has ad-
dressed the following note to the Rev..
Father Cuppens of the Ascension
Catholic Church of this town, the
same being published in the Leader of
to-day:
: d. S. C. b. HALL, June -.
Father Cuppens-Yo our application, to have
MS play at the celebration ON the % inst, has
been received and duly considered by us !;
the majority voting in the affirmative, but
the number OF the minority who assigned as
their reason for their refusal, the strong op-
position OF yourself to our association, which
is unwarranted or in any manner justifable,
sufficient to prevent the band SO doing.
ID. S. G. B. ASSOCIATION.
While no one will question the right
of the association to decline the inyi-
tation of the Rev. Father, no matter
how ungrammatically or confusedly
the declination may he framed, we
feel confident many of their warmest
friends even will deprecate the mo-
tives ard bad taste that induced them
to make the columns Of a public jour
nal the medium through which to
make their refusal known, especially
when the reason for such refusal is OF
the delicate and rather unpleasant
nature evident in the present instance,
and the person to whom the commun-
ication is addressed occupies a posi-
tion to which SO much respect is due.
A private note, it seems to us, would
have been in much better taste. We
much regret that circumstances should
exist to produce i'll feeling between
a ruling minority Of the d. S. G. b
Association and the Catholic sect OF
the community, and hope that mutu-
al concessions and explanations will
shortly ensue that shall tend to re.
store perfect harmony for all time te
come.

the rights of the people, and of attempted
dictatiop from those in authority, the one
fatal step is sometimes taken, and that, too,
before it works disastrously TO the interests
of the people. One of the most remark
able features of the late Massachusetts
canvass was the open, notorious we may
say shamcful-part taken by the whole
body Of federal Office holders in Massachu-
sets, in favor of Butler. Further than this.
BY every means in its power, by threats OF
removals, by offers of appointments, and
by other appliances, so well known to
politicians. the whole moral weight of the
administration was used TO rcprcss free
expression Of opinion on the part Of the
freemcn of Massachusetts, and to dictate
to the republicans who should be their can
didatc for governor The rcbukc is sharp,
pointed, and cannot be misunderstood. n
free people will not be dictated to. We
trust that this and all future administra-
tons will take heed to the lesson.
