The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1874-12-05

AS general thing our section OF
the country is blessed about this time
Of year with spell of Indian summer,
and the fact has furnished q local
item for the CHIEF annually. This
season has proved no exception to the
rule, and we are glad Of it, because
home news is quite scarce and the
idle editorial pencil darts at the
weather with ferocious eagerness as a
subject which is inexhaustible. When
political issues are worn threadbare,
and usually obstrtperous and wicked
members of society will persist in de-
porting themselves as good citizens
when the chapter of accidents is dis
tressingly brief, and the tongue of old
Dame Rumor sexasperatingly silent,
we local writer" would otttimes be
driven to desperation for material
with which to fill his ALLOTTED space in
the columns of the rural journal, were
it not for the fact that wise Provi-
dence has endowed our terrestrial
sphere with the institution known as
weather, the variations of which
afford unlimited scope for the exer-
else Of editorial imagination. We
sta 4ed ont to say that the past week
has beer quite Indian Summerish.
SALE OF THE RAILRoAD.-On the
18th of November the Western Divi-
sion of the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad was sold at auction by
Marshal Packard, under decree of
the U. S. Circuit Court, and bid in by
an agent of Mr.. Frank NJ. Ames. The
first section, comprising that portion
of the road extending from New Or
leans to Donaldsonville, was sold for
1925 900, and the second section, be-
ing the portion completed beyond
Donaldsonville, fol $l2,5 800. There
were several other bidders, among
them Mr.. VIM. s. Pike, the banker,
who offered $2OO,OO for the first Sec
ton of the road, but would 90 no
higher.
Under the management of Mr.. Co.
lumbus H. Allen, the new Superin-
tendent of the road every possible
curtailment Of expenditures will be
made in order to justify the continu-
ance of the passenger train upon the
Western Division, and it is to be
hoped the business and travelling pub
lie will bestow such share of pat
ronage upon the road as will preclude
the necessity for suspension of OPP
erations to save the owners from loss.
A disposition is shown by the. man
agement to provide for the comfort
and convenience of passengers, as
we'll as the cheap and speedy trans
Of freight, and it should be
met with corresponding increase of
the custom heretofore given the road.

The petition to Governor Kellogg
for the PRONUNCIATION of the new char
ter for Donaldsonville has been nu-
merously signed by property holders
Of the town. The Governor has ex-
pressed his intention not to sign any
of the bills in his hands until he has
opportunity to examine them care
fully, and it is hardly probable any
action will be taken in the matter of
approving or vetoing the charter act
for several weeks, but the character
of the petition referred to will enti-
tie it to serious consideration when
the bill is taken up by the Chief Ex-
ecutive for examination. A counter
petition has been placed in the hands
of his excellency by citizens of Port
Barrow, a majority of whom seem
opposed to the contemplated annexa-
ton of their burgh to Donaldsonville.

The Tax Collector has something
to say in all advertisement in to-day's
CHIEF which demands the serious at
tention of those property holders who
have not yet paid their current State
and parish taxes. The law requires
the Collector to file his delinquent
list with the Recorder on the l4th
inst, and penalty Of twenty five
per centum will attach to all taxes
for 1873 unpaid by that time. Be-
sides this penalty, delinquents will
also incur costs of suit, as legal pro-
ceedings will be instituted to enforce
payment of all arrearages. The great
est leniency has been shown tax pay
ers by the collector, and it is to be
expected that they will show their APP

HER LORD AND MASTER.

Down in one of the southern counties
lives a wealthy old farmer, whom we
shall call Smith, because Smith isa name
not likely to be appropriated, from its
rarity. Smith lived six miles from the
Oregon and California Railroad. Mrs.
Smith wants to go and see the rail-
road-this style of travel having come
into vogue in the West since she secluded
herself in the wilds of Oregon, years ago.
But Mr.. Smith, who has horses and
wagons and saddles without stint, does
not think best that she should fool
away her time i'm so useless an expedi-
tion as a six miles ride to the nearest
railroad station would be. Therefore
Mrs. Smith will probably die with her
silly desire unsatisfied.
Mr.. Smith smokes clay pipe. Said
q visitor to him not long since: al
should think Mrs. Smith would smoke,
like most of her neighbors down here.
1t would be company for her, and COM
pany for you"

THE CRUSADE AGAINST WHISKY.

The war on whisky continues in the
East with undated determination.
Praying leagues continue to visit sa-
looms, hotels and drug-stores. In the
smaller towns the women are most often
successful, but in large cities, with a
strong foreign element, it will certainly
be necessary to resort to other measures.
Laws will have to be made and enforced
for the suppression of whisky-selling.
That such laws cannot be enacted with
out the aid of woman in politics, is now
sufficiently evident TO every observing
person. Thank God that there remains
in'the nation fresh, pure blood enough
to redeem the body polite, and to set
Honor, Virtue and Temperance upon
their feet again.
The following, from Metamora, Ills,
is touching appeal from women to
men-one which is quite as much in or
der in Portland as anywhere:
APPEAL OF THE WOMEN OF METAMoRA.
