REG1srRAT1oN.-Up'to the time the

Observation-Disclosures the time the
registration office was closed in Smoke
Bend, on Tuesday evening, the total
numher Of voters registered was 1876 ;
of these 3I3 were white, 883 colored.
The work has gone smoothly on with
out interruption, and we have yet to
hear the first murmur Of dissatifac-
ton with the manner in which the
Supervisor and his assistants are per-
forming their duties. Wednesday
and Thursday the Office was located
at the store of Mr.. Jos. Dominique,
first ward !; yesterday and to-day at
Mr.. VIM. S. Little's store, same ward.
On Monday next the registrars
plunge into the wilds of New River
and Manchac region, where they will
spend eight days, four in the seventh
ward and like number in the eighth,
in accordance with the ad Advertisement
which appears in another column of
the CHIEF. We presume the "tigers"
are on the alert and will register to a
man.

ABOUT THE RUMoRED ALLIANCE

tt is Denied---The Dunn Republican and
Peoples Parties Will.Not Fuse.
We regret to learn that the article
which appeared in the last issue of
the CHIEF under caption of " A Re-
ported Misalhance has caused some
unpleasant feeling among gentlemen
for whom we have the greatest per-
sonal consideration and respect, and
would not wilfully miuepresent. The
annoyance Of these gentlemen arose
from the alleged fact that 30 political
conference between the leaders of the
Peoples Party and the disseminated
Republican element has been held,
and that no such propositions as those
referred to in our article We're sub
mitted OF considered.
It is far from the inclination or in
tention Of the CHIEF to place political
opponents in false positions. We aim
to extend to others the same candid
and fair treatment which we ask for
ourselves, and when, as in this case,
we are misled by current .rumors
and erroneous reports, nothing could
give Us more pleasure than to make
the proner correction
The subject matter Of our article of
last week was CLEANED from CONVEX
sations with several persons, and was
a leading topic of discussion in certain
political circles at the time the publ
cation was made. It was asserted
two officials prominently connected
with the boiling Republican move
ment We're known to have been in Sc
cret consultation with number of
leaders of the ,so-called "People's
party" and that propositions of affili-
alton had been offered.
These .rumors are pronounced erro-
neous by gentlemen whose veracity
we can not question, and we regret
that currency has been given them
through the columns Of the CHIEF.

having thrown from. their necks the
yoke of a hated dynasty and earned
the gratitude of a down trodden peo-
pie.
At the conclusion of his address
the General read the following res
olutions, which were adopted:
Resolued, That the prompt and decisive
action Of the citHen1 of New Orleans on
Monday, the 18th Of September, demon
strated to the world the Kellogg power ip
this State was nothing more thar a tiimsy
usurn atien, originally established by fraud
and subsequently upheld by United States
bayopets.
Resoiccd, That we the citizens of Ascen-
sion, do hereby ratify the action OF the cit
izen-soldiery Of New Orleans, by which they
swept away the dynasty OF corruption and
rid the State of a set OF dishonest officials
who were never elected to the offices they
disgraced.
Kesoioed, That we disapprove, as impolitic
and partisan, the measures about to be
taken by President Grant with d view of de-
teating the will OF the people of this State,
Expressed by a decided majority, and again
fastening on them :.h odious and imbecile
government which they have spurned at the
election OF November, 1872, and which they
again blettel cut of existence on the 18th
Of September, 1874
!. Resolred, That the peace, quiet and pros
perity of the State inlperatively demand that
the government of this State, shall be left
in the hands Of those who have twice within
the last two years, by ballots and by bullets,
routfed the horde Of carpet-baggers who
plumber the country and are a blot on civ
ilization.
Having thus given expression to the
overwrought but evidently conscien-
tious feelings of an earnest minority
of the citizens Of Ascension, the as
semblage adjourned.

They Have Parish Convention and Put
Forth a Ticket.
Additional information in regard
to the assemblage of discontinued
Republicans over the river last week
confirms the report Of the slim at
tendance OF delegates, the desertion
Of the fifth ward representatives and
the failure to accomplish the supposed
original purpose Of the meeting the
nomination OF a parish ticket. The
small band of '.nfortunates did, we
understand, provide for the creation
of an executive committee, and agreed
that nominations should be made on
the following Thursday, the 18th
inst, in Donaldsonviue.
In accordance with this understand
ing a body Of the faithful came to-
gether at the St. Aary's Association
Hall, on Houmas street, day before
yesterday, at noon, and proceeded to
an organization by the election of
Aaron Woody as temporary chair
man and A. P. Dominique, temporary
secretary. A committee on creden-
tials was appointed, and after draft
ing several spectators into service as
delegates to fill hopeless vacancies,
this committee reported each ward
represented by three delegates. No
contestants.
Permanent organization was effect
ed by the election Of the temporary
officers, and nominations entered into
with the following result:
For Representatives Milton Nor
ris received % votes; C. n. Lewis,
10; Rodolph Braud, A.. Messrs. Nor
ris and Lewis We're declared the NOM
inees.

STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Auditors Office :
New Orleans, August 10, 1874 }
The time is fast approaching when further
delays in the collection of taxes are incon-
sistent with a satisfactory discharge of d,l-
ties by the revenue officers and will render
it impossible to meet the just obligations of
the State, or balance accounts and make a
report to the General Assembly, as required
by law.
Accordingly, You will proceed to advertise
and sell, by the thirty-frst of October prox-
imo, all property within your district or par
1sh whereof any taxes, current or delinquent
shall remain unpaid. You will be careful,
to observe all requirements of the law, in
connection with seizures and sales and con-
duct them under the provisions Of act No AZ;
of 1873: but no judicial proceedings other
than by recordation and publication should
be resorted to. and the process must be sum
mary III accordance with section one Of said
act.

Visions OF section nine of said act No. A. in
yariably bid in for and ;.djudicate to the
State any and all property offered for sale
and not purchased by any other party.
In connection with the above the following
important points in relation to tax sales, re-
Gently decided by the Supreme Court in the

Gated to yon for your guidance in the per
tormance OF your duties i'll that respect:
First-Tax Collectors can collect taxes on

the lands that have been forfeited to the
State.
second-While the tax debtor refrains
from exercising the right of redemption of
such forfeited lands he can not restrain the
sale OF the lands by the tax collector under
act No. AZ.
Third-The tax debtor has no interest in
lands forfeited to the State for non-pa yn,ent
OF taxes. except the right of fedemltioH.
Fourth-After the sale of lands by the tax
collector as herein before described the tax
debtor can redeem only by complying with
section six of said act No AZ.
Fifth-The method prescribed bv act No.

OBITUARr.-We are called upon to
chronicle the death of one of the old
est and most esteemed citizens of this
parish, Mr.. Edouard GaudiD, who de-
parted this life at 5 o'clock A: NJ, on
Tuesday, the 18th inst. Mr.. Gaudin
was veteran Of the war Of 1914, and
participated in the famous defence of
New Orleans under cold Hickory -
Jackson. He was universally beloved,
and though he had passed the limit
of " three-score years and ten," his
departure from this earthly life was
as much lamented as 'twoula have
been in the prime of his manhood. He
goes to reap The reward Of q pure and
upright life:
In the sudden and Hpexpeoted de-
mise Of Mr.. Lestang Fortier, notice of
WHICH was given last week, this COM
.munity has lost one of its best citi-
5zens. A life -long resident, upright
and loyal in every action and instinct,
his decease is deeply deHlored by all,
and the most profound sympathy is
extended his mourning relatives.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Anna Lavigne, nee Camel, which
occurred in Dopaldsanfflle on the 9TH
inst, carried a pang to many hearts.
The werk .ef grim Death is sad to
contemplate under any circumstances,
but when the young and beautiful are
stricken down, and buoyant hearts
beating high with fond hopes of the
future are chilled by his icy hand,
then are his achievements doubly
to gaze upon.
