The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1878-07-20

If a majority of the members of the
Town Council favor the nonsensical
proposition to place fence around
the public square, it is to be hoped
they win think better of the matter
and change their minds before final
action is taken by the Council. The
experiment of fencing in the neutral
ground of Crescent Place on either
side of the Market-H onse should sat
isfy every enc Of the folly of this kin
bred project. In that instance two
comely grass-plots have been trans,
formed into unsightly weed patches,
and the same thing would result from
enclosing the public square with
fence and thus obstructing the travel
of pedestrians and the grazing of ami
mails thereon, which,, are SO effectual
in preventing the growth of weeds
and keeping the grass short, as it.
should be. Moreover, fence would
prove an obstruction on occasions of
parades and public assemblages it
would seriously Interfere with the
handling of the Hook and Ladder
Company's long truck and retard the
members of the company in their eff
forts to run their apparatus promptly
to the rescne in cases off fire aud
last, but not least. it weuld put
damper upon the enjoyment of the
young men who find healthful and
innocent amusement in playing base
ball, the public square affording them
the only practicable ball field to be
found in the town or within a consid-
cradle eireuit beyond. To spend SI75 |
or any other amount of the public
funds for fencing in the public square
would be piece of Inaccessible ex-
travaganee.

BASE BALL.-The match between
the Burnsides and Grasshoppers last
Sunday didn't prove such a @close
contest as we had anticipated. the
scose showing at the end Of the game
that the Bnrnsides had tailed &c
runs, against "a for their opponents.
Inc very warm weather caused the
players to be somewhat less active
than usual, and each nine was short ?
couple pfthe best members, which
accounts for the large score. ghe
Hoppers are not satisfied that tho
game was fair test of skill, hence
they have challenged the Burnsides
to meet them again tomorrow eve
ming for a decisive contest. PLAY will,
be called later than usual in the after
noon, probably at 4.3o. on account of
the heat. This will perhaps be the
last match between the contendine
clubs this season, as the boys seem
disposed to suspend operations on the
diamond field until the heated. term
has passed.
The Grasshoppers challenged the
M0decs of Assumption to play match
at Paincourtville tomorrow, but re-
ply was returned that the Modocs had
disbanded. Their captain, Mr.. H. A.
Dugas, will organize another club,
however, and our Ascension players
hope to have some fine sport with
their Assumption neighbors during
the fall season.
The following is the detailed score
IF last Sundays game:
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1878-07-20

Mr.. Christian Kline, who holds a
judgment for $1,000 against the par
ish, is attempting to solve the prob
lem as to whether parocIiiai corpor-
alton can be compelled to pay its
debts By any,of the processes which
may be brought to bear against pri-
vate individuals. To this end MI.
Kline has, through his attorney, Fred.
Duffel, ESQ, garnisheed the amounts
due or to become due for rent of the
parish lots situated in DonaldsonVille
and occupied by some twenty parties
under contracts of lease for various
periods. By order of the District
Court The. lessees are directed to pay
all sums due for rent into the hands
of the Sheriff, who IS to apply the
proceeds as they accrue towards sat
isfying the writ of fl. ia. issned on the
Kline Judgment. True to its settled
policy of evading aud resisting the
payment of past due obligations, the
Police Jury has held q special meet
ing for the purpose of appropriating
the revenues arising from the rental.
of parish lots, but Mr.. Kline's process
has the advantage of priority, aud
unless the law provides teehnicalities
by which justice aud. equity may be
defeated in such cases, We shall ex-
pect to see him prove tsiaai ptant in
the legal jonst impending with re-
qard to this matter.

On Tuesday last the Clerk of Court

On Tuesday last the Clerk of Court
forwarded to Gov. Nichols trans
Crypt of the proceedings in the Ar
rieuz murder trial, and we are in
daily expectation of reading the
announcement in the city papers that
the Governor had signed the death
warrants of the condemned and desig-
mated the day for their execution.
= petition to the Governor TO COM
mute the sentence of Octave Lauve.
one OF the mnrderers. to imprison-
ment fof life, was carried around a
compile OF weeks since, but neither
the number on charaete; Of the sir
natures obtained will be likely to in
fuenee the chief executive in favor
Of the object sought by the petition.
We understand that there was a gen.
eral refusal on the part of our
citizens TO subscribe their names
to the document, since the evil
dence addueed on the trial showed
that Lauve had played despicable
part in the tragedy-having searched
the body of the murdered man and
robbed the desk where the money Ia
Ken IN at the store was habitually
kept. Though he took no part in the
actual killing, it is now believed that
he RETAINED through cunning and
cowardice, and that he was ring
leader ia the conspiracy. Lauve was
repeatedly solicited to make a con-
fession OF the crime and save his neck.
but he persisted in avowing that he
knew nothing of it, evidently relying
on the false testimony of his witnesses !
to prove an aiibi. How completely |
The attempt failed we have heretofore
related. There is no reason why
Octave Lauve should be singled out
rom among the four accused as an
object of executive clemency. All are
equally guilty and all should receive
ne punishment prescribed by law.

The Clerk of the Court for this
parish to-day received from the Clerk
of the Supreme Court of Monroe, GER
tilted extracts of the decisions of that
tribunal in the cases of Thomas RYAN
aud Wilson Jessie, on appeal from
Ascension. In both instances tue
Supreme Judges have confirmed the
Judgment OF the lower court, and an
less rehearings are granted, which is
not at all probable, Thomas Ryan
will go to the State penitentiary for
life, for the murder of John Evans.
while Wilson Jessie will spend
two years at the same institution
for shooting Mr.. Eugene Tircuit with
intent to kill. Mr.. E. N. Pugh in
forms US that he has received letter
from Monroe stating that the Supreme
Court has also affirmed the judgment
IN the case of Mike Tillman, SEN
fenced to life imprisonment for rape,
while in the case of Alex: Tumblin,
sentenced to six months in the peni-
tentiafx for silootiIig and wounding
Abraham Stevenson, the matter has
been remanded with instructions to
the District Judge to condemn the
prisoner to confinement in the parish
jail instead of the penitentiary. We
presume official extracts of the two
latter decisions viii be received |
within two o&.three days.

On Wednesday last, about 1890
O'Clock, as Mr.. j. j. Claverie and his
son Arthur, formerly of this place,
were crossing the river at the College
Point ferry, st. James parish, their
skiif was run down by the steamer
Henry Tete and the occupants thrown
into the water, the boat passing over
them. By great good fortune Mr..
Clareries his son and the ferryman
were all rescued from their periIous
predicament. having suffered no more
seriously than by the wetting, a good
fright aud the loss. respectively of q
violin, watch and eornet, and skiff.
Mr.. ClaEerie's escape was especially
proyidential, as we are Informed he
can not swim; and that he came to
the surface of the water only a few
feet back of one of the boats revolv-
ing Wheels We hear that no blame
is attached to the pilot or other Off
GERS of the Tete, the accident having
resulted from foolhardy attempt on
the ferryman's part to cross the course
of the rapidly approaching steamer.
The many friends of our estimable
fellow citizen will join us In congrat-
ulating him upon the happy escape
of himself and Ills son from watery
grave.

Dear Si,.:-Illness deprivcs fxne of the
privilege and the anticipated pleasure Of
meeting with the Greenbaek and Laboring
Mans party to day, as per invitation. I
deeply regret not being able to be with
you, but can assure you, my sentiments
and feelings are with you in all measures of
reform and Improvement in the administra-
ton of our National as well as State affairs
As I.see no manifestation On the part of
either of the old parties to adopt any meas
ures for the relief of an embarrassed coun-
try aud burdened peopleI say people,
because the poor and laboring class consti-.
tute, ats rough guess, tIree-fourths of the
population, and they are the sufferers-I re-
luetantly, very reluctantly, withdraw my
name as an adhercnt of the party that un-
justly claims to be the Democratic party,
and join with you and this party in efforts
to secure for our government more equi-
table, more just, more vigorous and a more
economical management of National and
State affairs.
Born and raised a Democrat of the old
jefferson school, and later strong Disciple
of the Calhoun doctrines, | can not reeoe-
nize the, present party calling themselves
Democrats, as true disciples of either Jeffer-
sen, jackson or Calhoun and | can no
longer claim allegiance with party that
torstlaes principles for the sake of personal
interest and selfish aggrandizenient.
therefore look to party that approaches
nearest to these cherished principles, and
which IS III accord with ma hum bic views OF
what Is just and equitable in the admins
tration of our government; and after due
and mature delikeration ] must declare my
preference for the Greenhaci1 and Laboring
Mans Party. YGH may, therefore, SO far as
principles are regarded, set nle down as an
of the claims of the industrial class
of orr country; and in short as Il member of
the Green back and Laboring NJ ans Party
Respectfully, &C.,
T. w. BROWN.

Written arguments have been submit
ted, however, and the Judge ad Zoe
has intinated that an early decision
will be rendered.
