TIE oT-DEMOCRAT.-This ever
faithful and sterling advocate of the
grand old principles Of Jeflersonian Dem
ocracy and champion OF the peoples
rights, entered, with its issue of the Sth
instant: upon the 9TH year of its existence
under combined condition of prosperity,
circulation and influence that have been
rarely attained by the country press of
Louisiana. 1t is not however, altogether
in the "snnshine" of prosperous times
that the Patriot Democrat has attained to
position of prosperity and influence ;
but to the credit of it's nstituency as
well to that of its accomplished, energet-
ic and enterprising editor and proprietor,
be it said, this condition is achieved as Il
just reward and appreciation of services
rendered the people through some of the
darkest and most trying moments of their
political existence. "Well dore thou
good and faithful servant of a generous,
noble and chivalous people. Your reward
shall be "exceeding great" we trust,
commencing with this suspicious mo-
,nent-tbe beginning Of your eth year of
usefulness.

Tie following facts have

Tie following facts have
thereby heen disclosed: that
there was an intention to re-
move the body or some por-
ton of it; that the work had
been successfully prosecuted
until the coffin was reached
when the operators were
either frightened off or the adj
vanced stage of decomposition
determined them to abandoo
the undertaking, the latter
supposition being the most
reasonable view, as they re>
manned long enough to replace
portion of the removed
eartho
The motive that could have
induced this shocking outrage
upon the grave and body of
one Of our most highly respec-
ted citizens remains, at pres>
ent, a dark and i1npepetrable
mystery. Time, and patient
investigation may reveal it.,
together with the perpetrators
Of the bastard act, but WOE
unto him upon whom convic-
ton falls; better far for him
had he been the occupant of
the lonely grave, the object of
his unnatural cupidity. No
position, no previous character,
no standing in society could
be brought to avert the awful
punishment, that would surely
be melted out to him.

THE CIRCUS, MENAGER1E, &C.-The
absence of a long period of enjoyable ell
tertainments has sharpened the public
appetite to such a degree that w. w.
Coles New and Greatest Show OH Earth,
which ma kes its appearance in this place
on wednesday, Dec. 10, under colossal
exhibition tents, is reasonably assured of
n large attendance. The Evansville Jour-
nal says of this great show: The splen-
dor aid brilliancy of every act; the
large and rare collection Of AZ imals the
gorgeous amphithcatricai, hipp"dromatic
equestro -cavalcade, the. team of Egyptian
tlr0medaries, form a school of art, natur-
nj history and instruction worth ten
times the price of admission. The Cou-
rie-Journal says: w. w. Coles is the
best entertainment, the most novel and
wonderful exhibition ever in the city.
The Cleveland Ilaindea7tr says: Coles
Circus is the best that has ever visited
oul city.
Judging from tho very favorable notices
this great show has received, we predict

WAR NOTEs.-Rccent events have
turned the tide Of success entirely in Ia
vor of the Russians. The final ana crush
ing blow has at last been struck: in tho
unconditional surrender of Osnan Pasha
with 40, 900 brave Turks and 400 pieces
of artillery, and the occupation Of Plevna
by the Muscovite troops. This virtually
settles the question Between Russia and
Turkey, but what further complication
may arise or wha turn the drift of alta IRIS
may assume is yet to be developed.

The determination of the School Board
of West Feliciana, to take advantage OF
the processes afforded them by the laws
! Of the land, through the Courts of justice
provitl for purposes of the kind, in y
certain controversy pending between that
body and Mr. E. L. Weber, will not be,
in any manner altered, by any argument
or discussion that may be carried on be-
tween the SENTINEL and its able Donald
sonville contemporary, the Chief
The question so far, is merely one of
opinion; that of our confrere being that
the School Board should waive it's right
to carry this CAUSE civil suit
into the Courts, and our own being that
every dictate ofreason, and justice to the
eaucable children of this parish requires
that it should be investigated by the only
competent authority legally constituted
for the purpose. To these ridely differ
ing opinions there can be no positive so
luton at present. We should say that
the outcome of the litigation will, per
haps, be the best evidence Gifts necessity.
AS to whether it is proper for the Supt.
of Education to interfere with the affairs
OF the Parish Boards, in any manner,
shape or form, we leave our friend to de-
termine by his own sense, after more ma
| ture reflection, as to VIII is ri ght and pro-
| per in the conduct of an officer holding
the position occupied by Mr.. Lusher.
| All this we pass over, and revert only
to the accusation contained in the closing
remarks of our contemporary to the effect
that This action of the Board has assumed
the character ola persecution. Here,
our usually tair and high-minded contem-
porary descenls from his habtual plane
and makes Il positive statement, OH q
question of fact, without a knowledge of
the facts and as we believe, without due
reflection. We unhesitatingly assert
that we do not believe that one breath
of the spirit of persecution Turks behind
the action of orr board, and in one sense,
and Il very material sense at that, it is
but doing an act of justice to the Defend
ant himself, in placing the question before
a tribunal whose decision is.authoritative
and can not be gainsaid. In the event
of Mr.. Vcbcr's. success in the trial Of the
cause would he not prefer to have such
Judgment pronounced by such a tribunal !?
Wo opine our Donaltlsonville friend will
admit the justice of this and will await
the dcnouemcnt before forming rash
judgments. If Mr.. Weber establishes
the justice of his cause before such tri-
bunal, we shall be among the first to an
nource the fact.
The little fling about ''bulldozerdom"
is an amusing and perhaps OK
cusable way for finding vent for
our contemporaries pent up feelings
the working we imagine, of the old
Radical lcaven,-but with all courte
sy to our respected confrere, as in all
candor, We propose to prove to him, that
within the six consecutive months last
past, there has been twice as much disOr-
der and crime pcrpetratcd in the parish
of Ascension rs in West Feliciana,-yes
we will say even in the town of Donald
sonv:lle alone, and we propose to otte.
in support of our assertion, an authority
that he will not gladly contradict. What
