The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-09-01

The Mobile Register takes a roseate
view of the future of New Orleans and
Texas
In three years. Texas will have a
population of two millions, and will
be entitled to twenty representatives
in Congress. With the Pacific road
completed across her territory, it is
impossible to estimate how great will
be her growth in population and c0m-
merce.. That commerce must flow
mainly to New Orleans, and there
must be the grardest city of the con-
tinent. !.

Baltimore City Politics,

The american, Of Tuesday, reports as
follows the political movements recently
set on foot in that city:
The "Workingmen's party" in this city has
taken the field as a political organization, and
has announced its purpose to nominate can.
didates for the Legislature and for the mum.
cipal offices. 1t has General Committee
called City Convention) which met at
Raine's Hall Monday evening, elected per-
manent officers and made arrangements for
calling primary meetings for the election Of
delegates to nominating conventions. The
speeches made at Raine's Hall last evening
were not well calculated to win converts to
the new movement from the thoughtful, con.
sentative classes.
The Nominating Conventions Of the Cit-
zens Reform party were held in the three
Legislative districts of the city the same eve
ming, but they were not well attended, and no
nominations for the Legislature were made.
1t was thought best to postpone the nomina.
tons until further conferences can be had
with the representatives of the Workingmen' $
party, with view to supporting the same
candidates for the Legislature. In one Of the
Reform Conventions, however, the dangerous
doctrines wlkch have been set forth at some
OF the Workingmen's meetings were repudia-
ted, aud notice was given that there could be
no utilization on such platform. And there
the matter rests.
1t appears, from the above statement in
the american, that the Reformers are
huckstering around among the several fac
tions 10 order to make such combinations
with them as hold out promise of giving
them additional numerical strength. The
upshot Of it all, if they can accomplish it
will probably be piebali union of Re
publicans, Reformers, and Workingmeu
against the Democrats. The character o.
such a combination ought to be suficien
to keep even the most unsophisticatec
Democrats from being hoodwinked by it
Call themselves what they may, opposition
to the Democratic party is the underlying
basis Of all such combinations, and tn,
Democrats throughout the State SHOULD
meet it with compact and unbroker
| front.

Labor strikes aud their attendant riots
are costly Injuries which should not be
INDUCED in every day in the week. They
should be reserved for rare holiday occa-
sious, if INDUCED in at ALL tits estimated
that the total cost to the State of quelliug
the late disturbances consequent upon the
great strike, viii be in round figures $780,
600. To meet this expense ii is said no
extra levy will have to be made, as the
State has now on hand about 100000 re-
ceived from the general government for
arms taken during the war. The receipt
of $1,000 more is expected in short
time, and with these amounts the costs of
the troops, etc., win be paid. OF the
100000 expended the State viii have a
large quantity of arms, ammunition aud
accoutrements, for which nearly one-third
Of the amount was spent. Takingthis fact
into consideration, the net cost may be
safely estimated at about $4,000. Gov.
Carroll has dismissed and paid off all the
State troops. He has also dismissed his
staff aud abolished his military headquar-
tiers at the City Hall, Baltimore, where he
had been for nearly a month. In the
language of the old song-".rhc drum S
done beating aud the war S all over, aud
the balance, on account Of the strikers, has
been struck, And . pretty heavy strike
it was to the Treasury of the State, Let
US hope that another such scene Of turbu-
lence and disorder may never again be
witnessed, especially as all outbreaks of
the kind are utterly barren of any good
results, even to the strikers themselves,
while they work out a vast amount of in.
jury for others.
The Philadelphia Ledger says Maryland
has disbanded her artillery force, and is about
to muster the infantry out Of service The
battery Of artillery was organized aud equipp-
ed in FIVE days, and although the horses were
bought in an emergency, the State has lost
only $S0S by their purchase and sale, for
which amount of money they have had the
use of forty.four horses for three weeks.
That was pretty good management, and al.
though the artillery was, fortunately, not
called into service, the State has really lost
nothing by preparing in this vigorous way for
any emergency.

and early in 1875 had deposited with the firm
at low interest $40, 500, the proceeds, he said,
OF the sale of his property in Scotland, He
bought two farms and block Of buildings;
then erected a residence for himself and &C.

concealed by false entries and additions.
Hope, who was q jealous deyotee of religion,
took u Clergyman with him to Europe, and
whilst in England aud Scotland, addressed a
number of religious gatherings on Gospel
Work in Canada. He had a lecture all

Conkling, at Utica, N. Y. which we pub
fish on the first page. Senator Conkling
is Republican, but he merged the parti.
zan in the patriotic citizen, on that occa.
sion. He had just returned from Europe,
and bis fellow citizens had met to welcome
his return. He was introduced by his
Democratic colleague in the Senate, Sena.
tor Herman, to whom he alludes in his
speech, in very appropriate terms. The
sentiments Of this speech are timely, in
these days of labor strikes, and riots, and
clamors for standing army, and dissatis.
faction and discomfort among our people.

Il was one Of the objections to. Presi
dent Grant that he spent SO little of his
time in Washington. The summer months
were whiled away at Long Branch, and
when his term expired there was general
expression Of relief that there was an end
fhis junketing administration. 1t was
given out at Washington that Mr.. Hayes
would devote himself more closely to the
public business; that he would not spend
his time at Long Branch, but would re-
main at or near the capital. How has
thispledge been redeemed? He has spent
almost as little time in Washington as
Grant did. One junketing tour succeeds
another, and he travels off carrying the ar
tieulate members Of his cabinet with him
to make speeches for him. First he para
ded himself at the Fitz Greene HalIeck
monument then he went to tho New York
chamber Of commerce banquet; he went
to the Philadelphia Permanent Exhibition;
he went to the Harvard-colIege commence
ment; he went to tho Bennington centcn-
NAL, always and everywhere suppliant
for popular applause. From New England
he will return BY new route to Washing
ton that he may receive the plaudits Of the

Manchester lTENs.-Some unknown per.

house, about q mile north of town, last Sat.
urday night, and carried away all their butter
two crooks of cream, and skinned the cream
of ten crooks Of milk, which cream they also
took with them. Mr.. and Mrs. Yingling
were up till about IL o'clock, and when about
to retire the dogs were making terrible noise
about the barn, and upon going out Mr. Y.
found his dogs fighting a strange dog, which
he drove off with fork. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Y. that if he had succeeded in killing the
dog, the dead dog would have exposed the
theft. 1t was not known until the next morn.

him IN the face and knocked him back Hat in

sistance OF the injured man and found him
unconscious and bleeding profusely; Mr.. Sher-
