DEATm OF DEk. GAUDET.

DR.. Felix B. Gaudet died yesterday even
ing, at his residence, of heart disease, OF
which he had been suffering Intensely for
some months. His death deprives our city
of valued citizen, a learned physician, a
philanthropist and a truly good man.
DR.. Gaudet was native of this State. He
spent the early part of his manhood in St.
James parish, where, by following the ar
duous duties of a teacher, he laid by q suf1i-
cient sum to enable nim TO pu15uo The lie stud J
OF medicine for which he had an early pen
chant. He went to Philadelphia, where, in
1850, he was admitted to the Medical Univer-
sity, OF which he was one of the best scholars
After graduating there with honors, he sailed
for Paris, and prosecuted there, with ardor,
the study Of his favorite profession.
He returned to New Orleans in 1861, and
from that time has labored steadily and pa
tiently to earn not only the confidence but the
respect OF the whole city. His name soon be-
came familiar in every household; his gentle
ness, patience and uniform bearing toward all
won him merited reputation Not only was
he a skillful physician, but also man Of mag
nanimous heart He prosecuted his profess
lieve the sufferer, to alleviate distress and
perform his duties toward his fellow men as
a man and a Christian. What more can be
said of him? Words, regrets, tears, praises
cannot again restore the vital spark to the
lifeless clay. Let the regrets Of the whole
city accompany to it's last home, to the grave,
whittier we all travel the remains OF one who,
during his life, has faithfully performed the
task which Providence has allotted unto him.

THE COLORED FAITHFUL.
Complaint Against the Action of the State
Central Committee.

Complaint Against the Action of the State
Central Committee.
And now the colored faithful have another
cause OF complaint, and this time it is against
the Republican State Central Committee,
and is based on what they claim is q direct
effort in connection with the Custom-H House
appointments, to take the control of the party
entirely out of the hands Of the colored men
and place it exclusively in the hands of, as
they express it, white carpet-baggers
The circumstances on which this last COM
plant is based are as follows: Previous to the
last meeting there was majority of colored
men on the State Central Committee, but at
the last meeting it SO happened that, there was
but small attendance, and that the colored
men were in the minority. The white men OF
the committee, taking advantage of this fact,
proceeded to enlarge the committee, and
elected sufficient number of men of their
own complexion to give them control. Only
one colored man was put in nomination, and
he was defeated
The committee meets again on the fifteenth,
and as there will be an attempt to reconsider
and annul the action lively time may be ex-
pected
The result of the fight now going on will
be looked for by people outside Of the affray
with considerable interest, as it is impossible
to tell how 1t will terminate.

A CHAMPION DEOD0RHZEEa.

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
On your editorial page, issue of July %, is
published a formula for preparing solution
Of chloride of lead, which is an approved deo-
dorizer and disinfectant. Since your publica-
tion have used this preparation at my house
and at the drains about my office with graft
flying results. While as potent, apparently,
as carbolic acid and coperas, chloride has the
high merit of being odorless. The atmos-
phere is purified completely by its free use
suits as satisfactory as obtained by myself.
AS the Board of Health complains of the
quality and scant supply Of carbolic acid,
suggest the adoption of this exceedingly
cheap substitute. And please republish your
formula, with the assurance that one who has
thoroughly tested it's merits can conscien-
tiously guarantee good results. J. W. F.

[St. Louis Globe-Demoerat.l /


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 3-The town has
been cOnvulsed with laughter to-day over g.
trick played on the State Gazette, run by State
Printer Lusk, by the active cooperation OF
the State printer expert, Magee. The Gazette.
which attempted to establish itself when the
State Journal temporarily suspended had no
press franchise, but daily scissors and reprints
the dispatches of the ST. Louis Evening Post
entire, including head lines Lllsk also delays
his paper until the Journal and Register are
out and cribs their dispatches, publishing
them headed as specials. Yesterday he
opened negotiations in writing with Register
pressman for one of the earliest copies OF that
paper off the press at Is a. m., SO that the
Gazette could get out an hour later with the
dispatches cribbed. The Register prepared
and inserted bogus dispatch in its issue,
nnrporting to give q dispatch of a severe
storm at Winchester which it 5sidi ikiiaea tHs
pastor of German church in his study, and
that with his last breath he uttered the words,
tIch habe desc nachricht gestohlen." The
Gazette had its advance copy of the Register
duly delivered by Its supposed confederate,
and stole not only the genuine dispatches,
but also published very conspieuously and
with display headline the bogus telegram.
When the public read and translated, "Icfl
habe diese naclu'icht gestohIers," meaning II
have stolen this dispatch" the Gazette people
became public laughing stocks, and their plan
Of stealing dispatches was completely exposed.
1t will probably be the last Of bogus neWspa-
pers in Springfield.

A STAR CHAMBER.

A DEMOCRAT reporter yesterday entered
the First Municipal Police Court and asked
the chief court officer, Mr.. Tracey, to show
him the docket of the days proceedings,
The officer was about to comply with his re-
quest, when Recorder Smith entered and said ::
"What are you doing ?' Mr. Tracey replied
that he was giving the DEMOCRAT the days
proceedings of the court. Recorder Smith
then took the docket from the officers hands,
and remarked, "Let the DEMOCRAT reporter
take the cases as they come UP in COURT we
are not supposed to keep officers to wait on
him."
The reporter then asked Recorder Smith if
he did not allow the other reporters to look
at his records. The recorder, in answer, said !:
eyes, and we once afiowe! YOU ii
but now we are not extending any courtesies
to the DEMOCRAT The reporter then took
occasion to remark to Recorder Smith that
the DEMOCRAT was asking no favors at his
hands; the public had right to know what
was going on in his court and. therefore, the
press was entitled to peruse the records.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

The disgraceful row in open day, which was
carried on by a drunken mob Of roughs, on
Dauphine street, near Canal, some days ago,

parties arrested, Ed. Farrall, Jim Foley, j. q.

tried before Recorder Miltenberger. They
had already been arraigned, on Thursday, be-

ing section 799 city ordinance, and remanded
in default of $500 bonds.
They had been in prison eight days, during
which the State had time to secure all the
witnesses necessary for the prosecution. Yet,
strange to say, when sixteen witnesses were
examined, not one was found who could iden-
tify the parties. Judge Miltenberger dis
