Arrangements are steadily progressing for
the Centennial celebration and International
Exhibition. The principal buildings are in
course Of erection. The President Of the
United States, as requested by Congress at
the last session, has extended cordial in
vitation to all other nations to join in this
work, and large number Of these have
already signifed their intention to accept
that invitation. Exhibition space il being
applied for from this and foreign countries,
and every manifestation ON the subject
seems to indicate eminent success for our
Centennial display. But, to carry out this
undertaking on scale due to the glorious
event to be commemOrated, additional funds
will be needed, for while Congress has cheer
fully thrown around this patriotic work the
national prestige. snd promptly promoted
it by appropriate laws, it did not furnish the
necessary capital; that part was left for you,
and not doubling that, inspired by the men,
cries Of the past and the blessings of tho
present, you will cheerfully perform it, and

Political NorEs.-Milton Morris
is the victim Of a political trick. His
course Of late has excited. the indig-
nation Of the leading boilers, who
seek to prevent harmony in the Re-
publican ranks, and they have. left
his name off their ticket, su bstituting
that of Cubic Jackson. If Milton il
half the man we think him, he will
make it extremely lively for the per-
petrators of this undetermined piece
of business. He was the strongest
man on the ticket, and his detection
will complete the ruin of the boiling
combination.
A large meeting was held at the
Southwoo.l plantation, sixth ward,
last Monday night, and although this
place has bern q hot bed of bolterism
and it's chief advocates were present
in strong force, upon q division vote
being taken the count showed ma
jority in favor Of the regular ticket
headed by Landry for the Senate. The
best men among the Dunnites are
coming back into the party and even
6outhwood will be found in line on
election day.
Tuesday evening meeting at the
Mansfield place, sixth ward, was add
dressed by hessrs. A. Burnett, A.
Knight, L. E. Bentley, G. H. Hill, w.
w. Buford, Aaron Hill, Louis Butler,
Pierre Landry and VIM. Hayward.
Hon. Pierre Landry spent several
days in the 9th and sixth wards this
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1874-10-31

week, and met with a hearty welcome
from the Republican voters, many Of
whom had met INDEPENDENTLY.
At rousing meeting on the Lin
wood place, last sunday, Mr.. Landry
was brought face to face with number
of the men who have made unfOundeti
charges against him relative to his
action in the Legislature and as pres
dent of the Police Jury and Board of
School Directors. He denounced
their slanders and defied the produce
ton Of al iota Of proof to sustain
them. The route Of the traducers
was complete and the enthusiasm for
the regular ticket unbounded. Our
candidate for the Senate also adj
dressed meetings at Mire's Store and
Orange Grove the same day, and met
with equal success at those places in
uniting the Republicans.
The boilers erdeavored to have a
meeting in the third ward last Sun
day evening, but we are informed
that they couldn't muster corporal's
guard, and left in disgust.
Rumors have been circulating that
y compromise between che Conserva.
tives and Dunnites has taken place,
but we are inclined to think them er-
roneOus, as the boilers have printed
their tickets and 0 Conservative can
didates appear thereupon. 1t is fur
ther reported that the Conservative
Parish Committee hrs nominated q
full ticket, but this is probably also
incorrect, though we have no positive
information upon the subject.
The meeting held in Donaldsonville
on Sunday last was grand success.
Fully five hundred people were in at
tendance and the speeches of Atty.
Gen. Field, Gen. Leonard S6weal and
Judge B. l.. Lynch were listened to
with attention and heartily applauded.
Gov. Kellogg found it impossible to
leave the capitol, as the Lieut.. Gov.
was absent and his presence was IL
able to be required ut any moment.
After the city speakers had concluded
their address, L. E. Bentley was
called to the stand and spoke about
ten minutes with good effect. Just
before leaving the stand he proposed
three cheers for the Republican party
and regular ticket, and the eDthusi-
astic response Of the assembled voters
showed eonclusively that bolterism
has no hold here.
Vote for Dubuclet, Darrall and
Landry.

New Orleans, August 10, 1874.
The time is fast approaching when further
