The contest for election of o success
sor to Senator Sumner is agitating
the Massachusetts Legislature and
no immediate conclusion thereof ap-
pears probable. Dawes is the leading
candidate, having received 95 votes
upon the last ballot reported to date,
while Hoar and Curtis, the former
Republican and the latter Liberal
Democrat, are "nip and tuck" with
about IS votes each. Nine ballots
have been taken.

THE DRAINAGE OF TIE TOWN OF
DONALDSONVILLE,

Matters Important to the Whole People
Suggestions gratis from Pref. Heating,
Surveyor and Civil Engineer.
To the honorable the Mayor and Town Coun.
ell of Donaldsonyille
GESTLEMEN-Amongt the various peoples,
races, tribes and nationalities inhabiting the
Earth, there is a current maxim: that " al
things cork together for good. I" OF the truth
of this maxim, the history of our world
furnishes ten thousand proofs. The credit
and honor of supplying another, is reserved
for Donaldsonville, provided your honorable
body be disposed to take counsel from the
lessons taught by the late heavy and con-
tinued rains. The most cursory glance ut
the effect produced by these rains, suffiees
to demonstrate that our iowa is net properly
drained that, in fact, we have ne efficient
system of drainage; for evea now, as we
write, seventy-six hours after the cessation
of the heavy rains, the cutters are 90 filed
with water, that respectable skiff may be
navigated in them
How is thisf How does it happen that
after expanding several hundred dollars to
clean ont the cutters, the irst heavy rain
mandates our streets, impedes travel, and
as necessary consequence, obstructs bust
nessa These questions are easily answered.
The cutters haze no outlet
But whence comes it, that they have no
outletl Whose business is it, to provide for
hate Can our Corporation Fathers rest
satisfied when they disburse the people's
money without furnishing a satisfactory
'qt,id pro quo"f No. We cannot suppose
that they are so callous to the calls of duty.
To be sure, it has been said that corporations
have NO conscience. Nimporte individuals
hare; and every individual holding the
honorable station of State, parish, or mu-
nicipal representation is responsible for the
use he makes Of a position in which his fellow
sistizeas have placed him for the public
good.
To discharge this responsibility in such
way that it exaets the approval of his own
conscience, and satisfies the reasonable ex-
peetations of his constituents, is the question
which now presents itself to every member
of the Town Council. How is that to be
donei Easily. Our town cutters asust hare
an outlet. And just because they have it not,

DUB SENATOR PUTTING ON HIS
WAR-PAINT,

Senator Pinchback has returned to
his home in New Orleans, and an
nounces his intention of remaining III
the State during the approaching po-
litical campaign, to aid in the reefgan
ization of the Republican party and
its triumph at the polls ia November.
BY the opinions alleged TO have
been expressed by Mr.. Pinchback IN
an interview with press reporter, q
fey days since, We find that he shares
in the belief of this paper, that his
success or defeat in the Senatorial
contest will hinge wholly upon the
result of the approaching election in
our State, and no further Congress
siond action-at least nothing OF final
import-may be looked for until the
result of that elect on is known. In
consequence of TIL s peculiar state OF
affairs, aside from his well known de-
yotion to the cause of Republicanism,
it may be reasonably surmlsed that
Louisiapa's first coaored Senator will
throw all his weight into the political
scales in the coming contest, and then
look out for a movement of the beam
and a rise of the other dish of the
metaphorical Balance.

IL is instructive, not to say anus

Ii is instructive, not to say anus
ing. to the student of human nature,
to note how lavish the Fusion press
is of its praise of Auditor Clinton for
his action jim securing the revocation
of all contracts for publishing the
State Laws in country newspapers.
If Republican official thirsts for the
appreciation of the opposition press,
let him do something against his
party friends, and if he wants to ruin
himself politically let him follow the
advice of said press, who speak not
in the cause of true reform but seek
only to create discussions among
Republicans. What a scrambling there
would be among these immaculate
reformers for the fesh-pots of official
journalism were Democratic admin
istration to come into power! And
what a tempest they would raise
about the ears of any Auditor who
sought to cut down their perquisites

to procure Printing Bill" We ourseli
don't care for enc, as We can get along very
well without one, but if the Legislature does
not pay this debt of gratitude and party ex

SUSPENSION OF THE LEADER.-N0
issue of the Ascension Leader appeared
last week, and we are informed that
the publication of the journal has
been permanently suspended, and the
printing material will be sold to Mr..
Henry Cohen, Clerk of Court in st.
james parish. who contemplates the
establishment of an opposition news
paper to the st. James Sentinel. The
Leader, as such, has been in existence
just six months longer than the CHIEF,
but its material has been used for fif-
teen or twenty years in the issuance
of two other journals, the Drapease
being the first, and the Ascension Re
publican the other. The Drapeau was
established by Mr.. E. Supervieille
several years before the war, and re-
suscitated from a lengthy suspension
when the conflict was over and its
proprietor returned from the army.
After the death of Mr.. Supervieille,
the paper passed into the hands of
Felix Reynaud, Esq, who published
it a couple Of years, then disposed of
the concern to Mr.. Marx Schonberg,
who christened it the Ascension Re-
publican, under which title it was pub
lished until March, 1871, when Mr..
Morris Marks became proprietor and
the paper was named the Leader. For
the past few months the journal has
been ostensibly the property of Milton
Sagendorph, Esq, a practical printer,
who was proficient enough in his trade
to reclaim the sheet from the state of
typographical filthiness in which it
was issued previous to his employment
in the Office as publisher, but who had
no taste for the editorial profession
and seldom exerted himself to give to
the readers of the paper any thing
like . complete account of current
events, either local or general. With
the revocation of its printing contract
the Leader was thrown upon its mer-
its as newspaper for sustenance, and
as natural consequence, cola psed in
a few weeks. Having, for the most
part, been under the control of per-
sons who tobk little interest in its
improvement, the journal, either as
Repubfican or Leader, has never at
tanned aught but very ordinary
standard Of merit and it's suspension
will not create an aching void of any
considerable magnitude i'm this COM
munity. The CHIEF is not speaking
in spirit of m-will or growing over
defunat opponent; we are simply
recording patent fact. Considering
the very unpleasant relations that at
divers times in the past have existed
between ourselves and the conductors
of the Leader, it will hardly be ex-
pected of us to drape our columns In
mourning for the demise of our con-
temporary. still, in the easy magnan-
unity of successful rival for the Of
fetal and general patronage of this
section of country, we can forgive and
forget as aiueh OF the past as the av-
erage mind is capable of doing, and
utter the tiaae- warn phrase of Regui-
eseat ip pace with heartfelt sincerity
over the Leaders grave.
