The Lee Memorial Monument.

Tho latest adyices from the Lee Meihoi '"A
Association is that Prof. Edward V. 'a'eh'
tine, the sculptor, having procured ifo,"
Vermont a block of pure white marble, IL
fashioning the statue of Gen. Lee, when ID
to be placed on the grand monument no"
! being erected at his tomb, at the Washins-
ton and Lee University, Lexington, virginia
The f;pure represents Gen. Lee reposing
upon a couch, his head and shoulders silsht-
" raised above the body, his left arm out
stretched by the side of his sword, his right
arm laid across his breast. He wears 1uii
Confederate uniform, including boots and
gauntlets, and light drapery covers nearly
the whole form. The appearance is natural
and graceful. Indicating peaceful slumber
rather than death.
The monument, when sur1nOunted Win
this fine work of art, will be lasting mem
orial to one of Virginia's noblest sons anu
patriots The members of this Association
are gentlemen we'll and favorably known by
the entire community, who will see that
nothing is left undone that will add to the
beauty and finish of this great work. We
are advised by the Secretary. Mr.. Chas. A.
Davidson, of Lexington, Virginia, that the
funds subscribed are insufficient to complete
the monument. In order to further this OBJ
iect they have issued iife-size steel engra-
we'd portrait of Gen. Lee, to be sold only by
subscription, through authorized agents,
the proceeds of such sales to be applied to-
ward the completion of the work. An oppor-
tunity is here presented to every person,
not only to procure, at a reasonable price, a
superb life-lilSe portrait of the great General,
but to aid the erection of a lasting monument
to his memory Each subscriber will receive

and Chairman of the Lee Memorial Associa-
ton.
We commend this valuable portrait to the
public, and predict for it an immense sale.

A terrible accident occurred at the

heavily laden with sugar and rice,

aud some twenty persons were
drowned, including three of the cap

and number of the boats EMPLOYEES.
The catastrophe produced profound
sensation in New Orleans, and the

have right to ask of them an imme-
diate inquiry into the Ascension mat
ter. If it is true that Republicans can
and will cheat other Republicans out
of fairly earned victories:at the ballot
box, We have no right to complain of
the aspersions of the Democrats, for it
is just as presumable that they can
and will be cheated. If it is not true
that fraud has been attempted or can
be accomplished, then we want to
know it. If returns can be handled
and tempered with by outside pa, ties
after having been placed in the hands
of the Board of Canvassers, there is
something very "rotten In Denmark"
and q prompt detection and reform of
the abuse is imperative.
We desire to impress upon the
minds of our readers that the primary
object Of the CHIEF in calling atten-
ton to this matter is not so much to
guard its political friends from defeat
by fraud as to give accused persons
an incentive to disprove, if possible,
that they have essayed villainies laid
at their door by public report, and to
probe to the bottom occurrences that
are made the basis of violent denun
citation of our party by the opposition.
We do not cry out for fear our in
dividual political corns will be
trampled upon, as the sentiments we
have expressed heretofore must de-
monstrate, but because we favor fair
play and believe it will be accorded
by our party officials and so believ-
ing we but seek an opportunity to
vindicate our position and aid in
knocking the bottom out of the Dem
ocratic allegation of Republican |
rauds.

THE STATE VOTE.
Ma Oritfes for the Candidates
for state Treasurer.

We have but few changes in our
table of majorities this week, and
these show an increase of the plural
ity claimed for Mr.. Manicure, but as
we have before said, the information
upon which our recapitulation is
based is in many cases vague and I'M
reliable, and no satisfactory approx
nation of the result can be arrived at
until the official PRONUNCIATION of the
canvass is made by the Returning
Board. Only one parish has been
canvassed thus far-Orleans, but we
trust by next issue of the CHIEF to
be able to give official figures for all
the parishes Of the First, Second and
Third Congressional Districts.
Our readers will bear IN mind that
the majorities marked with an aster-
isk ~ are simply claimed or esti-
mated.

the enconiums upon the New York
Tribune which appear in our paper
are inserted as advertisements
While we recognize the pre- eminent
worth of the Tribune in a literary. az
ricultnral or commercial point of

political attitude or its peculiar anti

Southern questions. To those who
hold opinions contrary to our own,
We can recommend the Tribune as a
journal in the political department of
which they will perhaps find as much
to admire and applaud az we do in

The Attakapas Sentinel has the yell
low fever. It is printed on wrapping
paper. These White League organs
are always afflicted with some all ment
or other. Their troubles arise from
constitutional debility and the i'm
purity of their fundamental doctrines.
Republican quinine would bring them
out all right, but like children they
are violently opposed to wholesome
medicine because it offends their pre-
JUDGED tastes.
