An experienced engineer desires a
situation. See his card.

A petition to Gov. Nichols for the
pardon of Alexander johnson, the
colored boy convicted of horse stealing
and sentenced to imprisonment in the
penitentiary one year, has been circu-
lated in the eighth ward and bears the
signatures of the best citizens of that
locality. The document was brought
to Donaldsonville by Messrs. II. T.
Brown and Sam u. Fields to-day, and
to the names already on it have been
added those of the court officers and
several members of the local bar, in
Guiding the Parish Attorney. District
Judge Duffel and District Attorney
Earhart will be asked to sign the petit
ton, and there is every reason to
believe they will readily consent.
The circumstances of the case as set
forth in the petition and rehearsed
briefly in the CHIEF of last week
demonstrate that young Johnson is Il
fit subject of executive clemency, and
we can not doubt that Gov. Nichols
will lend his favorable consideration
to the matter and cheerfully grant the
request preferred by the petitioners.

BASE BALL.-A scrub match of five
innings between picked mines, played
on the Burnside grounds last Sunday
afternoon, afforded about the best ex-
hi5ition of fielding yet shown 10y our
local players. The score stood 3 to
3, one nine receiving four goose eggs
and the other two. The score in de-
tail will prove of interest to admirers
of the game. hence we insert it:

SuIcIDE.-Last Saturday evening,
Mr.. Paul De0curro, residing on the

partner in country store in the vi
entity, and owing to dull times be-
came involved to the extent of several
hundred dollars, which is believed to
have SO preyed upon his mind as to
produce temporary alteration. The
bayou bed was thoroughly dragged in
the vicinity, under the direction of
Captains Dalferes and Aucoin of the
st. Mary and Henry Tete, and Capt.
Landry of the Cannoneers ordered a
gun squad down to fire their six

of the body. was discovered until
Tuesday morning, when it came to
the surface aud was found among
some drift wood about two miles be-
low the point where Mr.. Deocurro

about thirty years of age, and leaves
a wife and two children to mourn the
sad ending of his life.

Last week a couple of young men,
strangers in this vicinity, hired a
horse and buggy at Sehunberg's sta
bles, stating that tliey desired to visit
the parish of st. John and would
return in three days. This time
passed, aud several additional days
have followed, but the designing
strangers are still non est. .Informa-
ton has been received that the par
ties are in New Orleans, and a special
deputy Sheriff has been commissioned
to search for them. The whereabouts
of the horse aud buggy is mystery
yet to be unveiled.

Messrs. Brown and Fields think that

A full game could not be played, as

church.
The Burnsides have challenged the
Modocs for a friendly match upon the
grounds of the latter club at Pain

from present appearances we judge
that the game will have to be post
poned on account of wet weather.

A WoMAN MURDERED. -On Satur-
day last the Clerk of Court for this
parish received from the Coroner of
st. james the process verbal of an in
quest held by the latter officer on the
body of one Adeline Williams, Il col
ored woman who died in ST. James
on the 9TH inst. An accompanying
certificate of the attending physician
stated that death had resulted from
blows upon the wonlan's back aud.
chest, causing congestion of the lower
portion of the Lungs. The Coroner's
jury returned a verdict in accordance
with this certificate, and charged one
Hillery Williams with having in
flicted the fatal blows, at the planta-
ton of Mr.. John Reuss, in this parish,
on Sunday, June Q. Deputy Sheriff
David Israelimades an affidavit before
the Parish Judge against Williams,
and the latter was arrested and con-
fined in Jail. From further informa-
ton received in relation to the ocenr-
renee, Peter Borland, one of the wit
nesses at the inquest, was implicated
in the beating, and he too has been
secured aud locked up in our parish
Jail. Reports concerning the affair are
conflicting, one version being that
the woman was maltreated ii the
parish Of Rapides, and not in Aseen-
sion. We shall await the preliminary
examination and then furnish our
readers with authentic particulars,

REGIsTRATIoN.-We have been fur
nished with the following statement
of the number of voters registered at
the four polling places of the seventh
and eighth wards.
Seventh Ward-Poll first, 43 white, 8 col
ored poll second, 40 white, 0 colored total,
81 white, 9 cOlored.
Eighth Ward-PolI first, u white, 90 col
ored /; poll second, l9 white, 9 eolored total,
81 whites, 81 colored.
Totals of both wards-l83 whites, 40 col
ored, or DOB voters.
By referring to the returns of the
last general election, held in 1876, we
find that the vote cast in these wards
was: seventh, Isl eighth, 293
total, 544. Thus it will be seen that
the combined registration of the two
wards this year is, so far, less than the
vote of either one of them two years
ago. This demonstrates laxity
among the citizens that is at once un-
fortunate and surprising. One of the
first and highest duties of citizenship
is the exercise of the right TO vote,
and as Sin multitude of counsel
there is WISDOM" so when the whole
people take an interest in the selec-
ton of public officers, the chances for
securing just and honest government
are much greater than when lack of
interest in elections is displayed and
light votes are polled. There will be
all additional sixty days term of reg
istration prior to the fall election, and
we hope to see the seventh and
eighth wards give better account of
themselves at that time.
This week Assessor Braud and his
assistant, Mr.. j. b. Hcbert, have been
|. located at Davis store, mouth of New
River lane, aud lit Ashland ware
house, for the purpose of revising the
assessments and registering the
voters of the sixth ward. In next
issue we will give the result of their
weeks labor in the matter of regis
tration. The appointments yet to be
filed by Messrs. Braud and Hebert
are AS follows:
Tureaud's warehouse, fifth ward, June II,
Is and I9.
Burnside's Clark place, fifth ward, June
20, 81 and y.

ward, June "a, 25 and 26.

Armand Richards store, mouth of Sacra-
mento lane, third ward, July IS, 10 and 90.
Donaldsonville Courthouse, July q, 3d.
"a, 25, 26 and 81.
Let it be borne in mind that under
the new law no certificate of registra-
ton is given to the voter. His name
is simply registered in the Supervi-
sor's book, and its appearance there
is prima taeie evidence of his right to
vote. 1t should be further remem-
bered moreover that the registration
of this year is intended to supplant
all others, and that ole certificates
will not be recognized hereafter.
Those who desire to vote must regis
ter anew.
