Valuable Facts from a Safe Source

Valuable Facts from a Safe Source.
The affairs of this country have become
so extended thatSit is only by carefully
prepared synopsis in the form of figures
that one can hope to understand what is
really going on. Hon. A. r. Spofford,
the Librarian in Congress, is the only
man who has the facilities at his CON-
mand for collecting complete national
statistics and he does it with the greatest
care aud accuracy. His latest issue, "The
American Treasury of Facts" has been
sent us by Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co,
proprietors of the valuable Warner Safe
Remedies. This book is miniature
cyclopndia in itself, containing, in ad.
dition to a vast amount of national mat
ter, about all Of value that has trans
PRED in this country during tho past
year aud reflects credit upon the compiler
as well as npon the enterprise Of Messrs.
Warner & Co., in selecting it.

VOLUME NnMRER 7.

With this number Of the CHIEF We
celebrate our ninth birthday and be-
gin volume ten.
The paper is now SO we'll estab-
.lished that it has come to be regarded
as one of the permanent institutions
Of the community, and it is hardly
necessary for us to assure it's readers
that the CHIEF will continue to visit
them in the future as in the past, and
will endeavor to maintain the stand
ard it has established as a vehicle for
the dissemination Of local and general
news and commentator on passing
events and questions Of public inter-
est. We are prone to believe that
the honesty Of purpose and candor Of
expression which we have sought to
establish as characteristics of the pa
per and which have been so frequent
" commended by our friends and
contemporary journals, are generally
recognized by the readers Of the
CHIEF and it will be our earnest ef-
fort to preserve the reputation of the
paper in this respect.
We thank our patrons for past evil
dences Of their appreciation and ask
a continuance Of their favors.

Louisiana editors seem to have a
mania for misquoting one of the most
popular and familiar extracts from
the writings Of Robert Burns. An
exchange exclaims:
Would to God the gift to gle us,
To see ourselves as others see us.
How ridiculous that congloperation
sounds when compared to the simple
yet impressive words Of the Scotch
poet:
Oh, wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursels as others see us;
1t wad frae mony blunder free us,
And foolish notion.

just prior to the Chicago conven-
ton, that distinguished Indiana Dem
ocrat, Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, ex-
PRESSED the following opinion in con-
versation with Republican friend:
will tell you whom l think the Re-
publicans should nominate and whom
consider their strongest man. He is a
true man; q man Of principle, an honest
man, and would make good President
for us all. Personally, consider him
the best man you conld nominate. re-
for to james A. Garfield of Ohio.
An opinion almost identical with
this was expressed to the editor OF
the CHIEF by prominent Ascension
Democrat while the Chicago conven-
ton was balloting for a candidate.
The gentleman referred to declared
that Garfield had more force of char
acter and independence than almost
any other leading Republican, and
that he would be the strongest man
the party could put in the field.

citation at eight o'clock P. NJ, this date.
The meeting was called to order by the
president; sixty-four members and a
quorum present. On motion, the reading
of the minutes of the previous meeting
was dispensed with. The president
stated that he had called the meeting for
the purpose Of ratifying the nominations
made at Chicago, and also to take into
consideration the action Of the Third Dis
trict Congressional convention at Thibo-
daux, AND to ascertain, if in the opinion
Of the members, the nomination Of that
convention snodld be endorsed. He re-
quested free discussion upon the mat
ter and hoped that the action Of the club
would be harmonious.
Addresses were made by several mem
bers explaining fully the status of the
club with relation to the parish and
State organizations, and also regarding
the action of the district convention at
Thibodaux.
A vote Of thanks was rendered to the
speakers after which the following reso-
lutions were adopted: .r-...
RESOLVED, That we heartily endorse the
platform Of principles adopted by the
National Republican Convention at Chi
cago and that we will give to the presi-
den tial nominees, Gen. Jas. A. Garfield
and Gen. Chester A. Arthur, our undi-
vided support.
Res0lUed, That we recognize only the
State Republican committee presided
over by the Hon. A. j. Dumont, and the
parish committee presided over by the
Hon. w. B. Smith.
Reeolred, That we exceedingly regret
that the parish Of St. Mary was deprived
of its legal representation in the Congress
sional convention at Thibodaux, and
consider the action of the president and
secretary, in placing the names Of self
constituted delegates upon the primary
roll as impolitic and injurious to the
principles of Republicanism.
Resolped, That the nomination Of DR..
c. B. Darrall was obtained through fraud
and that we can not in duty to ourselves
and to the party support or endorse the
nomination; therefore we earnestly re-
quest the Hon. w. B. Smith, to assemble
the parish executive committee, on or
about the 18th Of August, 1880, for the
purpose of taking such action as will in
sure the assembling of a new district
convention for the purpose Of nomina-
ting a candidate whose honesty and pop
ularity will secure his election.
RESOLVED, That copies of these resolu-
tions be sent to all the ward clubs in the
parish and to the presidents of the differ
ent parish committees of the Third Con-
gressional District, also to the Donald
sonville CHIEF, Terrebonne Chronicle,
