DoNALDsoNvlLLE, Oct. 81. 1879.
l.. L. Bentley, Esq,
Donaldsonville.
Dear Eend-I have withdrawn my
name us a candidate for Sheriff Of the
parish of Ascension, and | recommend
Sdpt. L. 4 iosf'Ci Ldiuiy W NY lilciuo
and to all the voters of the parish.
Yours very truly,
JUST COMES.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Comes is due
To the fact that he has made or is about
to make private business arrangements
which may nccessitate the removal of his
slomicll to New Orleans. Capt. Landry,
whose nomination by the Democratic
Conservative parish convention seems
assured, is one of the best known citizens
Of this parish, and requires neither intro
duction or commentator at our hands.
The manner in which he has performed
the duties of Tax Collector during the
past three years and his personal prohity
and courage are Indicative of what his
course would he should he be placed in
the important position for which he is a
candidate.

business disposed of:

from Chinaman All Bah, on Burnside's
Donaldson plantation, July 2, 1873. Ac-
cused was tried and convicted Of grand
larceny OH the I'd Of June last. but a new
trial was granted, by reason Of Che fail
ure Of the Clerk to administer the oath
to the prosecuting witness. The case
was assigned for trial last "Wednesday
and jury empanncled, but it was found
impossible to make All Bah understand
the obligation of an oath to testify truly,
hence the District Attorney entered a
nolle pros. and accused was discharged.
A purse containing s22, taken from
Grayson at the time of his arrest, was
returned to the Chinaman, consequently
both accused and the prosecutor went
their ways rejoicing. Grayson had been

Poor Vlrzinia.

The latest election returns from Virginia appear to indicate the sue
 cess of the Repuliators, or Readjus-
 ters, ss they cell themselves It is
 now claimed that they will have q
 working majority in both branches
 of the State Legislature, and of
 course if tt at is the case the objec-
 tionable measure, will be carried. It
 Is a very unfortunate thing f0- the
 people of Virginia, and 1t is kind
 of misfortune which communities do
 not soon outlives 1t has been found
 before that the eitizeas of repudiat-
 States have been regarded with such
 distrust as 10 injure their commercial credit, and capitalists have frequently refused to lend or invest money in communities so tainted. The rea.on of this is on the surface. In case of the adoption of repudiation by community the presumption of dis honesty must lie against every mem Der of it; because. though probably little more than half the members favored the obnoxious measur., the world at large cannot make research es into every separate case, but must take the society as whole. Virginia will suffer from her present decision for generations to come, and her ad- vance will be efrectually checked. It would have been better for her eft zens to have endured the most oner- ous taxation in order to discharge heir just debts, than to incur the odium and evil reputation which will low attach to them.

Juliu Caesars viewor Death
IT. A Foude.I

l%
 Throughout his career Caesar dis
 played a singular indifference 10 life
 He had not much helief in God or
 the gods. In all such questions he
 observed from first to last profound
 silence. But one conviction he had.
 He intended, if he was to live at all o live master of himself in matters
 which belonged to himself. Sylla might kill him if he so pleased. It was better to die than to put away & wife who was the mother of his child and to marry some other woman at a dictator's bidding. Life on such terms was not worth keeping. What a joy it is to read ot one man in the worlds history who never played the fool or the hypocrite. On ono occa- sion the majority of the Senate, of which Caesar " IS then a young men- Der, wished to consign a large nun Der of political offenders to capital punishment. Cesar opposed this. He contended that death was not a punishment at all. Death was the end ot human sorrow. In the grave there was neither joy nor sorrow When man was dead he ceased to be. He became as he had been be- fore he was born. Probably almost everyone in the Senate thought like Cesar on this subject Cicero cer- tainly did. Cesar spoke his convic- tiOnS out

BANANAS.

Why cannot the banana be raised ka.e ID Salt River Valley? We be-
 can. There is no more bear-
 healthy or nutritious fruit, per
 sps, in the world. Humboldt said
 a acre of bananas will produce as kuch food as twenty-five acres of wheat They are said to be very easily cultivated. Fruit will come in from twelve to thirteen months after the plant is set out. and each pIznt will bear from sevcnty-fve to one hundred and twenty-five bananas. The fruit markets of Ne" York and Philadelphia are literally crowded at at tincs with the stems so loaded that a man can hardly lift the enor- nous weight of a single plant. The Scientifc Amsrican says: "In regions wh ere no foot of man ever reaches, bananas are found in all stages of growth, ripening their fruit every d ay and every month in the year"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular correspondent.l
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10th, 1879.

WAsHISGrQN, D. C., Nov. 10th, 1879. l The President and mem bers of tho
 Cabinet are at work unon their an
 nual reports to be submitted to Con
 gress in D -cember-a little over three
 weeks heuce. Until the heads of the l departments shall have subnjtteq
 the main features in their reports to
 MT. Hayes, the lattsr cannot com
 plete his message to Congress, be
 cause it is the custom to include ill that executive document substanti-
 ally the condition of each of the
 seven departments for the year pre-
 ceding the meeting of Congress. As
 to the general features, much of the 1 substauce of the message and de-
 partment reports may be derived
 from the perusal of the recent speech
 cs of MT. Hayes, Mir. Evarts and Mir.
 not been heard from in that way very
 recently, except the Cincinnati speech of Mir Schurz about two months ago.
 It would, therefore. be no very diff
 hcult feat to get up m anticipating
 statement of what the Admin istra-
 ton will submit and recommend to
 Congress, and lend importance to the journalistic effort, by giving it an air O authority, as coming from one
 iu the immediate confidence of the President and heads of the depart merts. But without resorting to trick or device to get at the purposes of the members of the Cabinet any ono to whom they are accustomed to talk with freedom may speculate cmi-ofhcially, as it were, about the policy of the administration in the future. Secretary Thompson Is ex- pected to devote much attention to commercial interests, which in large measure come directly within the scope of his duties, and in much 1 greater degree than the mere Casual i observer would suppose. Mir. Thomp son is deeply concerned in fostering | such measures IS may tend to bring ! us back and carrying trade upon the | ocean, the promotion and resuscifa- | ton of sl,ip-building in the United States, and kindred subjects ot vital importance to the commercial ln- terests, and therefore of vast concern to our whole people In future letter may present some of the pro- posed plans for accomplishing the purposes above suggested.
 A postal regulation has been in force now for two months, which is not well known among business men, or it woula be more generally availed, 1 refer.t tha fact that statements. bills, etc, can now be mailed in an unsealed envelop with cent stamp. Thus the many monthly statements which are made out by wholesale and retail dealers, each month, can be mailed for one cent, but no writ ing can be placed upon the state nent, other than the legitimate bill. No such words as please remit" s permitted, neither can a bill re- ,cipted be sent. If it is necessary o have the words "please remit on he statement or bill they can be printed as part of the heading. Pub l ishers of newspapers have the right { 0 enclose bills for subscriptions in heir papers. and also receipted bills or the same; but not to write the words 'pleasc remit" which, how yer, may be printed on the bill without infringing the law AUG

 If Xmas day on Thursday be,
 A windy winter yes shall see;
 Windy weather in each week,
 And hard tempests, strong and thick, The summer shall be good and dry, Corn and beasts shall multiply;
 That year is good for lands to till {; Kings and princes shall die by skill, If a child born that day shall be, It shall happen right well for he; Ofdeeds he shall be good and stable, Wise of speech and reasonable.
 Whoso that day goes thieying about He shall be punished without doubt, And if sickness that day betide, It shall quickly from the glide
