Gov. Kellogg, accompanied by Ma
jor V. A. Ryan, Judge w. F. Evans
and c. f. Ladd, Esq, arrived here
per steamer Natchez Saturday night
and went TO Napo'eonville by private
veyances next day, where .they
addressed monster Republican mass
meeting. Hon. C. B. Darrall joined
the party here, coming from Plaque
mine by steamer. After attending the
Napoieonville meeting, he continued
his way down the bayou, while the
Governor aud his friends returned TO
Donaldsonville, whence they en-
barked for New Orleans on the Gov
Allen at 2 o'clock A. NJ, Monday.
The hours of waiting the boats arri
val were pleasantly spent at Mr.. c. W.
Roses establishments. During the
evening, Gov. Kellogg and Judge
Marks were invited To take wine with
several of the leading gentlemen of
the local Democracy, who had been
participating in the Democratic meet
ing and torchligl,t parade. The invi-
tation was accepted and an enjoyable
interchange of social civilites ensued.
The Governor was treated with
marked courtesy aud was favorably
impressed with the character of the
gentlemen who are at the head of the
opposition here. We are informed
that some parties made offensive dem
onstrations in the bar room of the es-
Establishment, and it is even reported
they decided to visit the place after
learning that the Governor and friends
were there. We prefer, however, to
surmise that their presence was pro-
duced alone by thirst for spiritual
refreshment and that their reported
conduct arose from the enthusiasm
natural to the participation in polit-
ical demonstration and attendant IL
bations, rather than from a desire
to display i'll breeding or wantouly
insult distinguished visitor to our
town whose political opinions do not
happen to coincide with those of
portion of our citizens. Whatever
construction may be placed upon this
incident, we are content to know that
the department of gentlemen who can
claim to represent the social senti
merts of the people of this town and
parish, was every thing that conld be
desired by the most fastidious stiekler
for hospitality and courtesy towards
Hthe stranger within our gates

erected in the Market-House, which
affords the largest covered space of
any building in town, and seats will
be provided for ladies. We cordially
invite our Democratic citizens to
forego attendance upon such meetings
as their own party managers may
have appointed and to give a hearing
to the prominent spokesman of the
Republican party who will address
the people upon the issues of the hour.
TIE meeting will open about o'clock.
An important and attractive feature
of the campaign will be the torchlight
procession at night. Every prepar-
alton will be made for an imposing
turnout, and there will probably be
additional speaking just before or
after the parade.
The meeting of the Hayes and
Packard fourth ward club at the
Court House, Saturday evening, like
that of its Tilden and Nichols COM
petitor at the D. S. G.. 3. Hall, was
SHINY attended. 1t is impossible to-
assemble a large audience of Repub-
lican voters on any day but Sunday
during the grinding season, as Il ma
jority of thema are employed in the
sugar-houses. The Tilden club ad-
journed at an early hour, having no
business to transact, and a number of
the members went to the Court House,
swelling the audience there to fair
proportions. Mr.. i. T. Evans was
the only speaker, and his address was
pithy and enlivening, eliciting hearty
demonstrations of approval.

Miscellaneous.

Indications of an immense attend
ance at the meeting tomorrow
afternoon multiply, and the apparent
tactics of our friends of the opposition
TO prevent this contamination will not
prove successful. Though dozen
Democratic barbecues and meetings
be announced elsewhere, the Repub-
Iicans of Ascension, old and young,
male and female, will flock to town
to see and hear their IGNORED leader,
in this canvass-Mr. Packard their
present Governor, and the distin-
guished speakers who will accompany
these gentlemen. Tie arrival OF the
campaign steamboat Era No. 8 will
be anticipated with interest from one
end of the parish to the other, and the
eminent gentlemen travelling on the
steamer will meet with a hearty well
come. The speakers stand will be

A glorious rainstorm visited this
parish early Wednesday morning.
and the benefits thereof are scarcely
to be computed with a single lead
pencil. More, rain is needed to ell
sugar house ponds, but that which
fell Wednesday morning was thou
sand times better than noue, and
greatly advanced the interests of
sugar planters.

Mr. Chas. 0berkamp, Jr, informs
us that while sitting in the doorway
of his residence on Railroad Avenue;
Wednesday night about 9 o'clock, he
was fired at by some person to him
unknown, the pistol bail striking the
frame of the door. Mr.. 0bcrkamp at
once ran iut0 the street, but the
shootist had disappeared. Next night
shot was fired at the house of Mr..
Chas. 0berkamp, Sr., on Claiborne
street, but fortunately no Que was
hurt. Some reckless individual has
gone iuto dangerous business, and
will be carefully watched fer. If de-
tected in repeating his apparent pur-
pose to commit assassination his pun
ishment will be neither light or long
delayed. Every coed citizen is utter
csted in ferreting out aud securing tile
arrest of the perpetrator of this cow
ardly assault upon Mr. 0herkamp.

We have heard of no less than four
Democratic meetings to be held on
the left bank of the river to- morrow,
and two of these to be barbecues.
We are inclined to believe, however,
that the number of meetings has been
exaggerated, Intentionally or other
wise, and it is generally thought by
the Republicans that this is done with
view of keeping as many people as
possible from attending the Repub-
lican rally in Donaldsonville. The
barbecues are announced to take place
at the old Marchand place, and at Mr..
Ben. Aliens the other meetings at
Orange Grove place and head of New
River Lane.
1t is stated that Democratic meet
ing will be held here Monday, at
which Gen. Nichols and other prom
inent gentlemen will speak.
Several persons bring us informa-
ton that n. H. Wilson, colored Dem
Ocratic candidate for the Legislature,
is assiduously canvassing the fifth and
sixth wards giving eolored voters who
will take it dollar each and PROM
Use of $25 after election to vote for
Nichols. Added to this unblushing
bribery, Wilson and his squad of kin
dEed spirits are abusing and slaudering
Republican candidates in manner
that would get the falsifers into seri-
GUS trouble if it was not the policy of
Republicans to use great forbearance
for the sake of maintaining peaceful
canvass and insuring a free, orderly
election. SANDER and falsehoods will
recoil upon the heads of those who
employ thst0s and the victims of this
SPECIES ofRontemptible defamation
can well afford to bide their time, as
sured of complete vindication when
the voice of the honest people is heard
through the ballot on Tuesday next.
The opposition has gained nothing by
hiring unprincipled renegades to Witty
reputable Republicans, and they will
find to their sorrow that the very rep
tiles will sooner or later turn aud bite
the hand which now lavishes kind
ness upon them. 1t is notorious that
some of the most rampant of the So
called eolored Democrats openly boast
that they are getting Democratic mon
ey but have 40 intention of voting
the Democratic ticket. Most of them
have lived by gambling or some mys-
terions means, and nothing suits them
better than the opportunity which has
presented itself to them of obtaining
food, clothing, money and whiskey
without working for them. Such men
would not be trusted by either Demo-
Gratis or Republicans in the ordinary
affairs of life, and they are not to be
trusted in political matters They not
only be:1ay their own people, but
will in turn betray those for whom
the first treaehery was committed.

Under the income tax Law. passed
during the war NJ n means OF raising
revenue to preserve tho nation when
Democmts had combined to destroy
every citizen was required to tell under
oath the exact amount o! his income
for the year. The Law lid not call Tor
an estimate : ii called for the actual
sum. This was easily told. as the In
come tar for any year was never paid
until tho succeeding year. In accord
nee with this law. Samuel ]. Tilden.
that model giant Of "reform" and
honesty. swors In 1853 that his entire
earnings for the year 1862 were but
s..iis. and for that sum he va taxed.
The records Of the Treasury Depart
ment show that no took this oath. and
neither Tilden nor his friends dare deny

Tildsn to o certain moneys which
the corporation alleges. that this model
'rsfomer " stole from them. Whether
the charge Is true or false, wo have Of
course NO means Of knowing. That Is
= matter for the New York courts, and
until they have decided 1t we have no
right to express an opinion. To con-
denim a political opponent on unProven
charges is no part Of the policy Of the
Republican party. But three weeks ago
samuel J. Tildsn hled his answer to the
complaint in the Supreme Court OF New
York. That answer is sworn to in due
form. and is now a part Of the court
records. In ID Samuel J.. Tilisn takes
q solemn. oath that in 1862 he received
a. counsel fees from the complainant
$40. 900: in other words. that his income
for that year MAS certainly $4,000 more
than hs swors to the Government officer
that hs received; and that he deliber-
atsly stole from the Government tho
amount OF taxes which would have been
levied ON this money. lie Is, upon his
own confession. q perjursr aud n thief.
II Is no answer To these facts to say
that other mon have been guilty OF the

thieves at large. who would be sent to
prison IL they were found out. Sam.
Tildsn has been found out, and District
Attorney Bliss is seriously contemplate
Ing the advissbility Of prosecuting him
for the money which he confssses that
hs stole. We sincerely trust that Mr.
Bliss will do this. and show this hon
