BY the death of Mr.. w. c. 5. Ven-
tress. which occurred at the Linwood
place, last Saturday, one of the land
marks of days gone by, so to speak,
has been obliterated. He had attained
his seventy fifth year, and his death
was attributable as much to the nat
ural feebleness and exhaustion of old
age as to any special ailment in the
category of ills to which the human
flesh is heir. Mr.. Ventress was O very
wealthy man before the war, owning
several fine plantations in Ascension
and other parishes but like many
another of his class he was ruined by
the civil conflict which brought such
devastation and suffering upon the
South, and ended bis days in COM
paratiye poverty. He had been an
earnest and prominent Democrat il
years agone, and delighted to recall
the contests between the Democracy
and the Wings, in Louisiana and else
where. in which he had played an &C
tive part. He maintained some inter
est in latter-day politics and passing

Judge A. B. Sloanaker, formerly
a well known politician in the cities
of New Orleans, Philadelphia, WASH
ington and elsewhere, and now hold
ing the position of an inspector or
supervising agent in the Internal
Revenue department of the govern
ment service, spent several days III
Donaldsonville last week and this,
taking birds eye view of revenue
matters in this district and trying to
solve the problem of getting beyond
the authority of quarantine and the
scope of Yellow Jack. He attended
the Senatorial convention in st.
James last Saturday, big with
spread eagle speech, but owing to the
unlocked for bust ups" he didn't
get an opportunity to fire off his sur
plus eloquence. While standing on
the sidewalk in front of the City
Hotel, Wednesday evening, convers-
ing in his usual elegant and solemn
style with several boon acquaintances,
the portly Judge suddenly keeled
over. crosswise of the banquette, with
his head hanging over the gutter
A physician was hastily summoned
and in about fifteen or twenty MN
| ntes the unconscious revenue agent
was restored to his normal condition
and taken to bed. Next morning he
appeared thoroughly reeupcfated,
declaring that the only thing that
induced him to cone back to life was
that the thought struck him that he
could get out of this plague ridden
country by taking the train to st
Charles, crossing the river to kenner'
Vile and thence boarding the cars on
the Jackson road. By this route
therefore, he gracefully slid away
from us, and his agile form was lost
to view in the dim distance as Thurs
DAVIS train moved off from the Don
aldsonville depot.

Mayor DuHel ano Mi' Ee''A NY
naud addressed communications to
New Orleans papers, this week, IN
tended to controvert the published
report that young lady died OF gel
low fever at or near Donaldsonviiie.
Mr.. Reynand rendered his statement
for publication in the CHIEF, but we
declined to insert it unless its super"
tiuous personalities should be emas-
enlated. The article was then offered
IA an advertisement, and we agreed
to publish it, but finding Friday eve
ming that we already had more matter
in tyne than could go into the paper,
the writer was informed that his arti-
Gle could not not appear in last issue
of the CHIEF; whereupon the state
meut was withdrawn and forwarded
to the New Orleans Democrat. We
recount these facts because Mr.. Key
maud prefaced his communication to
the Democrat with the frivolous IN
animation that this community is with
out " on organ in which great pub
| lie wrongs" may he righted. The
CHIEF has never refused the publica-
ton of any properly prepared state
ment concerning any matter OF public
interest and the injustice OF Mr.
Reynaud,s inuendo in this particular
instance ia sufficiently shown by the
fact that the very issue of our journal
from which his statement was exclu'
ded. contained an article from a prac
ticing physician of this town explicitly
averring the opinion that no yellow
fever had appeared here up to tina
time. Surely, this covered the only
portion of Mr.. Reynaud's Statement
which was of any interest to the gen
eral public, and as the opinion of
physician it was superior in value t.
9 the ipSe Dirt of an unprofessiona
citizen. Concerning the case of sick
ness which gave rise to this contro
: versy, it may be said: the attending
I physician pronounced it yellow fever
: but confrere called in consultation
), disagreed with this diagnosis, believ
d ing the patient to be suffering fror
h typhoid fever in its last stage. W
: understand there is also differenc
d Of opinion among the medical frate'
q pity ms to the case of the colore
: woman said to have had yellow few
-" in Donaldsonville. The reported Pc
J Barrow case has not yet been brOugi
g into question that we know of; al
n as it is generally admitted that I
instance of yellow fever have sim
y occurred, Notwithstanding more thi
y ten days have elapsed, We think tt
II subject may be properly considered

Works met one day last week to open
and consider bids submitted for the
work of keeping the streets and
bridges in repair during the ensuing
year. There were but two bids: one
of $3.50 from Mr.. Frank Martinez,
and one of $1,000 or thereabouts from
ex-Alderman Joseph Burbridge. The
former proposal was accepted and we
presume the contractor has furnished
an acceptable bond and begun oper-
ations, as several bridges have been
repaired during the past few days.
