Louis brewers. in whose establishments corn

NindicatiOn from investigating committees at

that the jurors pronounced il superior To any

There is nothing wishy-washy about the re-
form party in Japan Its methods of procedure
are biSinesS-hke. il rcprehenSible The Patriot
iSm-Adyancing society,"" whose members are
devoted TO administrative reforms. have per-
ceiyed that nothing can be done in this direc-
lion while the present ministers Of the empire
remain in power. They have in consequence
formally notified the Mikatlo OF their intention
10 remove by assassination these obstacles TO
reform, and have already disposed of two OF
them. II thus appears that the Japanese civil
service reformers are really :. stalwarts."

The suggestion embodied in the report OF the
Second Assistant Postmaster General in refer
ence TO the proposed new basis of cOmpensa-
ton to railroads for mail transportation is an
Important one. The pay for such service is now
based On the weight of mails carried. This sys-
tenn is vast improvement on that which pre-
ceded IL, in which the compensation was fixed
at the VIII Of the Postmaster General. and does
away with the abSurditieS and inconsistencies
Of compensation that had grown up under the
Old method. But ii Is not thought impossible
b. devise better plan. A bill now pending in
Congress provides that space. speed and fire.
nuenCy, shall be made the basis of cOnpenSa-
lion. IL is pointed out in the re sort TO which
we have referred that an amendment. fixing
gauge by which the amount of space to be used
Shall be limited, is necessary to give the pro-
posed system the greatest superiority over that
which il will diSplace. The necessity OF such
q provision is obvious Were there no limit to
The car-rOom which might be used. the eStab-
iiohment OF space as basis of compensation
would doubtless cause a wonderful increase in
the Space-filling properties of mail matter The
gauge proposed by the post office officials in its
general bearings limits the amount of space
which may be occupied by the average weight
OF mails carried on the line OF railroad to be
compensated. With this modification, the
pending bill is worthy of the favorable consid-

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1878-05-11

Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock Mr..
Simon Braud departed this life, at his
residence short distance below town,
at the advanced age of SO years. He
had been in poor health for long
time, and although his death was not
unexpected, it proved sad blow to
his relatives. The funeral took place
Wednesday morning, and the Ascen-
sion Hook and Ladder Company, of
which deceased was an honorary mem
Der, escorted the remains to the Cath
Ollie cemetery, led by the Crescent
Band. A large number of friends
and relatives were also in attendance,
forming long and imposing process
sion. Mr.. Brand was, we believe, q
native of this parish, and during his
lifelong residence here he won the
universal esteem and respect of the
community. To his worthy son Mr..
'Rodolph Braud, and to the sorrowing
kinspeople of the deceased in general,
we extend sincere coincidence for the
misfortune they are, in the natural
course of human events, called upon
to endure. They should console them
selves with the assurance that, after
an honorable and useful life, Simon
Braud has gone to rest and reward
eternal, no more to be harrassed and
beset by bodily suffering and earthly
trials.

Frank Ellis, colored man recently
employed on Burnside's Ascension
plantation, was committed to the par
ish Jail by Justice Vicknair upon the
charge of obtaining 500 35 from Mr..
Burnside under falsep retenses. Ellis
was one of several men employed in
Georgia to come to this parish and
work for Mr.. Burnside, it being the
agreement that the latter would pay
the cost of transportation for the men
and their families. Ellis worked only
a short time and then left the plan
tation whereupon he was arrested
and arraigned before the Justice of
the Peace in the first ward. Agreeing
to return to work, he was released,
but instead of keeping his word he
again decamped; hence the second
prosecution. The case will be brought
up for trial at a special session of
the Parish Court to be held next
Tuesday.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS. Parish
Recorder, Mr.. w. w. Buford, has
opened in his Office a special book in
which he proposes to record births
and deaths occurring in this parish,
whenever the parents or friends of
the newly born or of the deceased de-
sire such record to be made. Here
tofore no such registry has been kept
here, save in the Catholic Church. It
is, of course, optional with the public
to take advantage of or.to ignore the
Recorders innovation, but cases not
infrequently occur in which such Il
record would prove of great service
in succession and other matters. In
the city of New Orleans the registry
of births and deaths is made obliga-
tory by law, and we. think the same
rule should apply throughout the
State.
