The document we mentioned last
week as being circulated here for sig
natures containing caustic refutation
of the reported statement of promi-
nent Republican official before the
Louisiana Commission that the peO-
ple of this Judicial, District did not
acknowledge the authority of the
Nichols government, appeared In the
New Orleans press last Sunday, over
the signatures of Messrs. Sims, Pugll,
Landry, Duffel and others. The paper
emphatically asserted that the people
of the district recognize only the
Nichols administration and thor
oughly repudiate :" the Packard usur-
patton" The alleged assertion of
Judge Marks-who is the official re-
ferred to-was denounced as total
| and wilful Misrepresentation. The
publication of the document drew
forth a card of explanation and denial
from Judge Marks, the pith of which
is contained in the following extract
The statement attributed, as published, is
| a Misrepresentation of the remarks really
made by me. These remarks were IN trutf
| and in substance that in my opinion no Vlo
Ienee would result in the Fourth Judlcia
| District from the recognition OF either OF th'
| then eontending governments, as the people
were law-abiding, and with few exceptions
no politicians. Hearing, last Friday, while
at home that this misrepresentation as nov
published was in circulation for signature,
informed the presumed author that the state
ment attributed to me was incorrect, glVin!
him at the same time the true version.

A notable appointment recently
made by Gov. Nichols is that of Hon.
Edward L. Whitney to be Tax Col
lector of the parish of Tensas. Mr..
Whitney is a Republican, and repre-
sented the Tensas District in the
State Senate from 1870 to 1874. This
selection, taken in common with
others of a similar character, indicates
that Gov. Nichols was in earnest
when he declared his intention of be-
ing the Governor of the people and
NOT of a party.

The entire property OF the Donald
sonyille Agricultural Association
consisting as we said last week, of
the board fence surrounding their race
track-was sold at auction on Sunday,
according to previous notice, and
bid of $3.50 by Mr.. Felix Reynaud was
the highest offered. The gentlemen
competing for the purchase of the
property were evidently in facetious
mood, and to make things lively and
pleasant for the auctioneer-who was
no other than our genial young friend
David Israel, Esq.-the bidding was
started at So 75and increased BY very
easy gradations, until the amount
above stated was reached, the process
occupying a considerable time. We
learn that the stockholders of the de-

twenty per cent. upon their invest
ment, all debts having been promptly
liquidated as fast as they accrued.

One the largest funeral professions
we have ever witnessed in this sec
ton passed through town, from the
bayou ferry landing to the Catholic
church and cemetery, on Sunday last.
The deceased was much respected
young colored man, scarcely q years
of age, named Armand Degruise, resi-
dent of the third ward, from where
the cortege started. The st. Joseph
brass band and field band followed
the hearse, alternately discoursing
mournful airs. Many members OF
some beSevoleut society were in the
processifn, and the neat uniform
dresses pf the women presented q
pleasing appearance.
