MIL Creek Aroused.

p The sturdy peasantry and farmers
Of Mill Creek Hundred don't seem to
have the fear Of the Every Erening be.
fore their eyes in opposing County Di-
visisn and the militia bill. 1t need oc-
easion no surprise to find that paper
vet reading the Mill Checkers a lecture
ON their actions without having first
cons ulted the ponderous two center in
regard to the action they have taken.
When County Division was broached
some time before the meeting of the
Legislature, the REPUBLICAN was ma
ligned for opposing County Division by
the up town dictator, and in substance
was told to keep quiet. However,
knowing how the public pulse beat up
on that subject, We spoke out freely
in regard to it, and kept telling the
members Of the Legislature that no
matter how bad the people of New Cas-
tie county needed and wanted increas-
ed representation they did not want
County Division. There can be no
doubt that if left to vote Of the people
there would be q two-third vote, prob
ably larger against County Division,
and if the question OF Increased repre-
seutation was left to a vote of the PEG
pie without County Division, the vote
would be larger in favor Of it than
against disvision. We can retort upon
the Every Erening and tell it that if it
had spent the effort in favor of increas.
I'd representation by districts, instead
of having FILTERED away all its energies
to get the county divided, public opih-
ion in favor Of the first might have been
much farther advanced. 1t is humili-
ating to be disfranchised as We are by
the two lower counties, but those coun-
ties will just as readily give us in
creased representation by districts as
to give it to us by county division. If
We thought it was needed We would
advise the holding Of similar meetings
in other Hundreds in the county, and
even here in Wilmington, but it is evil
dent that county division for this ses-
sion OF the Legislature is SO dead that
it seems useless to do anything more
than to bury the carcass. The yeoman-
~ of Mill Creek, as will be seen by a
report elsewhere in the REPUBLICAN,,
are as much opposed to the proposed
militia bill as they are opposed to
county division. The public opinion
in Old Mill Greek, owing to the intelli-
gence Of her citizens, is sound and reh-
at'e, and other portions Of the State
may safely trust it.

VIZ BhLlEvg the law requires every
body who may take up stray stock to
advertise the fact Immediately, and ask
the owners to come forward and prove
property and take the same away .lnsead
Of doing this however we have known
aud have been informed ofseveral other
instances where stray stock has been
taken up and stabbed, and no attempt
made to make known through the pub
lie press, or any other manner, the
whereabouts of that stock until re-
ward was offered by the rigktful owner
for its recovery. We hardly know how
TO characterize such actions. 10 say
the least, it is not doing as We would
wish to be done by, and We think We
might 60 a little farther and say that
such actions have a considerable tinge
of dishonesty in them. 1t does seem to
us that man finding strays, will USE
every means in his power to make the
fact public that the owner may be
saved great deal of anxiety and ex'
pense besides. Waiting until reward
is offered is little short of taking the
amount of that reward by force from
the rightful owner of the stock.

A CrRIors FEATURE OF the operations
of the no.licensc law at Norwich, Conn.,,
is tn. substitution by drinkers of other
s.imulants in the pac" Of liquors, and
in the absence of whiskey, gin, beer.
&c, Jamaica ginger i. taking the pop
ular lead AS a sui stitute for ,omething
stronger. This extract has double the
alcoholic strength Of whiskey, and, as
il is A medicine n constant demand and
kept by all druggists it makes a very
satisfal tory substitute for the habitual
old topper who is bOund to get drunk on
soInething. That it is used in this way
to considerable extent is shown from
the increased sales Of the drug, As we'll
as the confession of the user. One
dealer estimates his sales of Jamaica
ginger since the lst Of November as
fully three times as great as they were
before; another SELL perhaps a third
more now than before that date; anoth.
er has noticed but small iHCrease-not
over five per centum-whilea fourth es-
Inmates the calls upon him as five times
as large now as they were up to No
yember ! 1t is also said that the sale
OF paregoric has slightly increased in
some cases, all of which goes to show
that with some anything is more pala-
table and pleasing than water.

We hope W will oasnd no one by sefrr-
rine 10 subject which must be very
anpoy ing 70 ministers of the gospel A
Kentnoky clergyman is said to have
dextsrously reproved his people in this
wise: "If you will give Inc your close
attention 1 will keep a lookout on the
door, and II anything worse than a
man enters | will warn you in time 10
make your escape" There certainly
can be nothing more annoying to a
preacher than to see about one-half the
members Of his congregation quickly
Jerk their heads around at some risk
OF dislocating their neeks, every time
the doorway opens behind them to See
who has entered. Such actions II We
may be allowed to express ourselves
freely, not only indicate lack Of man
ners and good breeding, but they show
a great want OF decoruin for God s
house. That kentucky clergyman is
needed all over the country and it
would do no harm il lac were to tarry
awhile in Wilmington. We know that
We will be borne out in this declara-
ton by the great majority OF people who
60 to church to worship more than to
see who comes N through the doors
after the hour for opening, and to SEE
what kind OF clothes they wear. A de-
cent regard for the proprieties of any
assemblags demands quiet and respect,
full behaviour, but how much more is
the debt due TO the sacredness Of the
sanctuary.

THIS does not seem to be much of a
reform week at Dover, Mr.. Dean and
his reform measures evidently being
in the back ground. Perhaps the
great battle for reform is being fought
out in Committees, and the Legislature
in its assembled capacity will only have
to endorse the measures when they
come from the committees.

OWING 70 THE anxiety of the Legisla-
ture to see the REPUBLICAN,, we will
hereafter mail the first edition which
reaches Dover about three o'clock. BY
reaching the capital building at nine
O'Clock, P. NJ, many of the members
fail to see it, and we do sincerely pity
a member of that Legislature that is
deprived of the privilege Of reading the

PHILADELPHIA has just had a case Of
hydrophobis, very much like that Of
the late George Sedgwick OF this city,
only the victim WAS woman. The
lady's name was Mrs. German, about
forty eight years Of age aud Ivy her in
dust: ious disposition she was quite well
of. On the day Of the great storm last
October, a little grandson was bitten in
the leg by a spitz dog, and Mrs. Cor.
man after having released the little
boy from the dog was bitten on the fin
ger. The wounds Of the lady and her
grandson were cauterized and having
speedily healed, nothing more was
thought Of them until on Thursday last,
Mrs. German was seized with the terri
bic malady and after the mos, terrible
sufierings died on Sunday evening. The
greatest anxiety is now felt for the lit
boy that was bitten. We mention this
case to stimulate til. officials of Will
mington in q vigorous enforcement O
the dog registry law, which when IN
forced as 1t should BE-, will end in the
destruction of Que half the dogs Of the
city, while the other half will bring a
revenue OF about $500 into the city
Treasury. Some OF the dogs registered
might 60 mad and do a great deal Of
damage, but the smaller the number Of
dogs, the smaller will be the number
Of mad ones. Let Mayor Almond push
OIL a vigorous war against unregistered
dogs.

The Judicial Question.


Owing to press of matter, delay in the

situation Of affairs with respect to the
matter of the Republican judicial nomi
nations, we defer any lengthy comments
upon the subject until next week. Suffice
it to say, for the present, that six Of the

to participate in the so-called convention
of last Saturday night for reasons so CO.
gent and satisfactory that their course
was approved by reclamation at a meet
ing Of the Republican parish committee.
held to-day; and that, in further vindi-
cation of their action, it has been unan-
imously decided to reconvene the judicial
delegates on Monday, the 10Th inst, at
the Donaldsonyille ourt-House, and
then and there to form the district ticket.
The ST. James delegates and Republican
leaders have already signifed their ac-
quiescence in this plan, and the nominees
of the informal assembly OF Saturday
last, Hons. Jno. A. Cheevers and F. B.
Earhart, have pledged themselves to
abide by the action of the convention to
be held on Monday. A full explanation
of this matter will be given in our next
issue.

SUGAR. Ak1SG.-A majority Of the
sugar-houses of this parish are in opera
ton and the work Of taking off the cane
crop and manufacturing it into sugar
and molasses goes steadily forward. We
are not prepared, as yet, to give any fig
ures or conclusions with reference to the
yield, but the general anticipation is
that it will be quite satisfactory. 4 bet
ter market is promised than that Of last
year, and this will doubtless compensate
for any shortage in the quntity in the
quantity of sugar made. We have seen
samples of sugar from the plantation Of
Mr.. j. G.. Co6cld and Mrs. NJ. Israel &
Co.'s place in St. James, manufactured
respectively by centrifugal and open
kettle process, and they compare favor
ably with the best sugars Of former
years. The weather at present is very
favorable for grinding operations.

Those wishing winter goods should re-
member that Cheap Tony still holds
forth at his old stand, and is determined
not to be undersold by any business firm
in town. He is selling standard dark
prints, light prints, white and brown
cotton at 5 cents . yard; and other
goods, of all kinds and styles, proper
tionately low.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1879-11-08

Goods cheaper than ever known
before in Donaldsonville; chance for
all; the poorest can find something in
accordance with their tastes and within
reach of their humble means-at Cheap
Tony's cashstore. ----
