The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1875-03-20


They have law officer in Madison
parish who dispenses justice with
lightning like rapidity. The Delta
Journal says Of him:
Jesse Crosslin is the learned and
dignified Justice of the Peace Of the
Milliken's Bend Ward, and it is truly
wonderful with what alacrity he dis
patches business coming before his
court. Jesse can decide a case, issue
a writ Of fieri facias, and have his Con-
stable sell property in the short space
of two days. Now, probably there is
one point of law that Jesse has not
learned, but We have serious doubts
about it; and that is that all judicial
sales must be advertised in this paper
for ten days next preceding the day
of sale. 1t is either his ignorance of
the law or desire on his part to swim
die us out Of our lawful fee. Be that
as it may, if we hear of any more of
Jesse's high-banded proceedings, Wen
have him up before the Grand Jury.

REMARKABLE HOG SroRY.-The
Mansfield Reporter Is responsible fl,
this: For some time past we have
heard rnmors in regard to a fighting
hog appearing on our streets at night.
We have heard several negroes talk
ing about their wonderful escapes
from this infufiated nocturnal visitor,
but thinking it was all a hoax, we
paid no attention to it. But on last
Monday night, several youths of this
town, our devil included, were out
rather late, and when on their way
home. they were attacked by this hog,
and like a flock of geese, they were
All 'Pnt to fight. The brute seemed
to have a special grudge against our
devil, and singled him out for a foot
race, and at last brought him to bay
on the top of a fence where he re-
manned until rescued by his comrades,
who fired several shots at the old SOW,
before they could induce her to allow
the Devil to come on earth again.
This is no joke, and the darkeys and
the boys are not the only persons that
have had to contend with this fight
ing hog, for one of our dignified and
fine looking merchants came in con-
tact witt. her a few nights since, and
had Go make a vigorous defense with
ms v4lase. and then was compelled to
take veg bail in order to escape her
wrath.

We notice (says the St. Louis DEM
Ocrat) that Senators Schurz of this
State, Hamilton of Texas, Bayard and
Salisbury of Delaware, Hamilton and
Dennis Of Maryland, and Davis Of
Delaware and Representatives Ste
phens of Georgia, and Buckner of this
State, did not sign the remarkable
address to the people Of the South
As every other member from Southern
States who has opposed the policy of
the administration did sign, the omis-
sion Of these names indicates that they
did not look upon the document with
favor. 1t is possible that one of their
objections was that certain essential
statements of the document are false.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN CoURT.-A
dispatch from St. Louis, dated March
18th. says: On the 23rd of September
last, while several boys were playing
near the corner of Christie Avenue
and Seventeenth street, a little son OF
Robert NJ. Boatright was killed by a
brick supposed to have been thrown
by a boy named Charles Woodson.
This afternoon, while Woodson was
being tried in the criminal court, and
while counsel were arguing a legal
point, another son Of Mr.. Boatright,
about sixteen years old, stepped up
to Woodson and said, "You killed
my brother; | will kill you," and
plunged butcher knife into his alb
dOmen. Woodson fell to the floor,
his bowels protruding in terrible
manner, and it was thought he was
mortally hurt, but upon examination
the wound proved to be n slash i'll
stead of stab, and not necessarily
fatal. Young Boatright was seized by
a deputy marshal and placed in Jail.

FREEDMAN's BANK AFFA1Rs.-The
Freedman's Bank is in worse con-
dition then heretofore supposed and,
therefore, the commissioners, Cres-
well, Leopold and Purvis have asked
to be relieved from any further respon-
sibility for OF on account OF said trust,
provided their bond may be released
from liability after their retirement,
and new commissioners be substituted
in their places. They assign as an
excuse for their action a failure to OBJ
tain from Congress such legislation
as they deemed essential to the prop
er and speedy execution Of the trust
reposed in them. IL

Fascinated by an Empress.

have heard lately, writes Paris
CORRESPONDENT the following nelan-
ch0ly and romantic little story Of a
royal lady, whose personal charms
and sweet and graceful manners have
rendered her quite az internationally
dangerous to her masculine adherents
as ever Mary Stuart was Of vore. 1t
appears that during the latter years
f'the empire the attention Of the
empress, who ever has been distin-
guished as an Intelligent and magniti-
cent patr0nass Of art, was 'calle.l to
the works of rising young painter
a Spaiiiard or Italian by birth-who
had Just 6ompleted his studies and
achieved admission to the salon. She
was pleased with his pictures, pur-
chased several, and gave him COM
mission for two or three others. FL
nally; at his earnest solicitation, she
consented to sit to him for her por-
trait, which proved to be a striking
likeness and q most admirable work
Of art. From that time the young
painter haunted assiduously every
place where he could obtain a glimpse
Of his fair and royal patroness. When
she went TO the theatre or opera he
Invariably occupied an orchestra stall
in front Ut the imperial box, and when
she drove ont he sought to cross her
path in order to obtain from her one
of those sweet, melancholy smiles
which she always bestowed with such
courtesy upon those who salured her.
At last came the war, and Sedan and
the republic, and the park and theatre
and opera knew that fair face no
more. Deprived of even those passing
glimpses Of the imperial lady, the
young artist became morose, gloomy
and misanthr6pical he shut himself
up in the solitude OF lis studio, and
employed himself chiefly in reproduce
ing his portrait of the emperor, a work
which met a ready sale among the
friends of Imperialism in Paris from
intrinsic merits no less than the fiilel-
ity Of its likeness. The other day he
was found lying dead in bis studio,
with a pistol shot through his head,
and the discharged pistol still clutched
in his lifeless hand.

The Black Hills.
Report Of d Returned Explorer.

j
| A special tn the Sioux City Journal
from Yankton, says that Capt. Eph
Witcher, a welt-known citizen Of
Sioux City, who was member Of the
expedition to the Black Hills has ar
rived in Yankton. He reports hav-
ing left. his companions at the stock
ade Of the expedition, within two
miles Of Harney's Peak, on Box Elder
creek, on the 3rd inst. Witcher says
the expedition was composed of twen-
ty-seven men, and one lady and one
Of her sons. There were six wagons
and the party were we'll armed-some
being mounted. They are also we'll
supplied with provisions and mining
tools. The expedition left here ON
the 9th Of October. They struck Ma
borO river about 100 miles above its
mouth, and following the stream some
distance they crossed the country to
a point east Of the Black Hills, on
Cheyenne river. They met party
of 200 mounted Indians, with whom
they held a peaceable parley. After
reaching an apparently passable path
at the foot Of the hills they struck
into the mountains, and after picking
their way reached point within two
miles Of Harney's Peak in fifteen days
from the date of their entry in the
hills. They erected a stockade 80
feet long and built log cabins from an
abundant supply Of timber which they
found. The cold weather greatly im
peded their prospecting. They sank
twenty five prospect holes and struck
gold in every instance. From the
grass and the bed Of rock they found
numerous gold and silver bearing
quartz lodes, and the specimens Mr..
Witcher has brought back are pro-
nounced very rich. The party never
saw an Indian while in the hills. Mr..
Witcher describes the parts Of the
hills they saw as having magnificent
valleys, seemingly Iimitless forests of
pine and an abundahce Of elk, deer
and other game. The greater por-
ton Of the return trip was made
snow drifts over a brackless
country in the most stormy and se-
we're weather. They discovered in
coming out Of the hills, what has
been named Witches Pass, good
Natural wagon road this shortened
the way out Of the hills by thirteen
days. Their animals lived on the
grass they found under the snow. Mr..
Whether says he can take loaded
teams into the hills from Sioux City
in thirteen days. The members left
in the hills are in good health and
spirits. Mr.. Witcher returned for re-
Inducements. He says there is no
evidence Of other parties being in the
hills. Mr.. Goodan who came with
him part of the way. was delayed by
his horse giving out. Nothing has
been heard or seen of the two dis
,strous army expeditions sent out to
intercept them.
