A large congregation assembled at the Catholic
church. last night, the occasion being the celebra-
ton of midnight mass" one of the customary
fully decorated with evergreens, ard brilliantly
lighted with large number Of wax candles and

was characterized by great solemnity. 1t began
at just twelve o'clock and lasted one hour. The

Hon. s. C. Hatch, State Treasurer, who we re-
gret TO say decided some time since to retire from
that responsible position at the close of the present
year deserves and will receive great credit for the
able manner 10 which he has administered the
duties of h., ,ilice, especially for his promptness
in collecting the taxes. A case has just occurred
which will illustrate the latter point. 1t is well
known th at the Lewiston Institution for Savings
suspended payment in April This was previous
TO the laying Of the regular semi annual State tax,
but the Affairs Of the institution had not passed in
to the hands of the receivers. The bank claimed
exemption from the tax on the ground that the
court had decided in favor of the Winthrop Saw
ings Bank in similar case. But, by the cearest
argument, Treasurer Hatch conv nced the mana
gers of the bank that the two cases had no points
Of resemblance. The points were seen, the mana
gers Of the bank acknowledged the justice Of the
claim, and on Saturday last the Treasurer received
the full amount Of the tax-$3, 1884. We mere
ly mention this fact to show the public the kind
of man we have at the head Of the finances of the
state. On retiring from office, he will leave in
the State treasury cash to the amount of some
$3.50 900.

declaration of independence. A
long talk was delivered by Hon,
Fernando Wood, who said on that
day they remembered their glo-
rious sainted ancestors, and en-
deavored to drink in something OF
their pure and disinterested patri-
otism. Numerous short talks
were made amongst others, one
by Col. John I. Simons, Of South
Carolina, who brought words OF
cheer to the New York Dem
ocrats. Hon. John Kelly delivered
a stirring address, in which he
predicted disasters to this country
unless the great Democratic party
succeeded at the coming election.
He explained his opposition to
Tilden, before this gentleman's
nomination, to be based on cal
ou!ations for the good Of the party,
but said no man would give him a
warmer support, since the party
nominated him. Nearly all the
speakers insisted that the Repub-
lican party could not reform itself,
aud that the only hope Of the
country is in Democratic victory.

The communication addressed to

to call the Executive Committee

amount to an express declaration
that It deemed ii wise. expedient
and iudicious to make Senatorial
district nomination and indeed,
whatever may 10 said about the
propriety of nominating a District
Judge and District attorney, we
observe TINT The chairman of our
Executive Committee, like our late
Parish Convention, is careful not
to question the right. propriety
nor expediency Of q district demo-
cratic nomination of q State
Senator.
The second reason, viz. that the
ST. Landry Executive Committee
had no right to call a District
Convention, assumes, that the ST.
Landry Executive Committee has
authoritatively ordered or called
the District Convention, and that
it has violated democratic usages,
and has Travelled beyond its juris-
diction, in doing so,
The Chairman OF our Executive
Committee, like every intelligent
democrat in this Senatorial dis
triot, knows that there Is no Dem
ocratio Executive District Com
mittee in the district, and that for
that reason, and because it is, and
always has been, in every SEN
atoriaI district i'm Louisiana, and
in every other State, considered
wise, expedient, judicious and
necessary, to make district oonven-
ton nominations for the State
Senate, democratic usage has sane
toned the practice Of the Demo.
cratic Executive Committee OF one
of the older parishes Of the district
to take the initiatory step towards
District Convention, by suggest
ing a time aud place, and r'que8t-
ina the concurrence OF the Execu-
tive Committees of the other par
ishes. This is precisely what has
been done by the ST. Landry Ex-
ecutive Committee in this instance,
and it has done nothing more.
We fully concar with the chair
man of our Executive Committee
that the time fixed for the District
Convention is at too short notice
to the democracy of all the par
ishes of the district, but we insist
that this applies peculiarly to
Cameron parish, (Which is just as
much entitled to full notice and
consideration rs any other parish,)
and that with our present mail
facilities our Executive Committed
had time, though not so much
time as is desirable, to have called
q parish convention as requested.
In view Of the fact that, owing to her
limited mail facilities, the democracy
OF Cameron have not been allowed sufi-
eiont time in this matter, and that more
time should have been allowed the de-
mocracy of Calcasieu, and in view Of
the fact that harmony and concert Of
action In this matter demand impartial
justice, and respectful consideration,
on the part Of the democracy Of st.
Landry towards the democracy of every
other parish In the district, we earnestly
hope that the Executive Committee Of
St Landry may reconsider its sugges-
ton that the District Convention be
held On the 22d inst, and that it win
suggest a later day, giving full notice
to each parish. This can be effected
without disturbing the proposed elec
ton Of Delegates in st. Landry on tho
18th inst, and in Lafayette en- the nth
inst. AS ST. Landry viii poll more

the mob the other day.
