Fraudulent Pensioners.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Withers presented 10 the Senate to day
a written report Ia explanation and ad
vocacy of the bill recently reported by
him from the committee on pensions
as a substitute for the measure known
as the 900 surgeons" bill. The bill
was described in these dispatches OH
the day it was agreed upon by the com
mittee. The enormous sums OF money
are being drawn from the Treasury
through fraud by persons who are not
entitled To pensions; and that many
perjuries and forgeries are committed
on pension claims and when il is re &.
membered that under the system now
In force the Commissioner is not All
thoriZed to send out agents 10 search
for fraud or for fcauGulent cfses, bat
must wait until reasonable suspicion
has att lched to "a case before lie can
order an Investigation, it will be seen
that the discovery of these frauds must
be left mainly to accident aud there
fore that the frauds discovered are
probably very few in comparison to the
whole number which exist.

The latest pO itical idea Is advanced
by seventy republicans of Waterbury,
Comp. These seventy noble radicals
think that Hayes was put into the
presidency by fraud, but deem it no
more than proper that he should be
given an opportunity TO secure an nom
est term. His fraudulency is there,
fore their first choice for 1880.

before the Conference at Altoona, on
the occasion of tie Temperance Ami
versary, showed by reference to Stats
tics that the value of liquors manufac-
tured in the United Seates for single

turns, is $7139. 900. That we epend
for six other great industries-tlou

school teaching, S5.S63, ,94j. There are
engaged in the liquor business, $4,000

Proposed Telegraph Line.
An Opportunity to secure Te,egrapllic
Communication Between Donald

An Opportunity to secure Topographic
| Communication Between Donald
sonyiile and Ne. Orleans.
The movement inangurated by Cover
nor Wilt looking to the construction of
q telegraph line from New Orleans to
DonaldsonvilIe, has assumed such shape
that its successful termination now de-
ponds entirely upon the disposition and
action Of those who have the greatest
interest in the accomplishment Of the
object sought to be attained. In brief,
the business men and planters Of our own
town, parish and neighboring commune
ties have it III their power to say whether
this important work shall be done at
once, or whether this favorable opportu-
nifty to obtain Geographic facilities for
our section shall be allowed to slip by
unheeded.
The suljoined letters will fully explain
and establish this assertion:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE WESTERN UNIoNl
TELEGRAPH COMPANY,
New York, Nov. g. 1880. }
Hon. Louis A. Witt, Governor of Louisiana:
Dear Sri have to acknowledge your IA
vor of November 4, and thank you for the
interest you have taken in the extension Of
our lines to Donaldsonyille.
This company fully appreciates the public
necessity of Geographic communication with
Donalasonville e, but has been obliged to de-
fer it on account of the very heavy demands
for new lines and additional wires to meet
urgent necessities in other parts of the+coun-
try, involving an outlay of over q million
and half OF dollars for new constructions
by this company during the past year. This
demand, equally, it not more urgent than
the case OF Ionaldsonville, continues to
press upon us to an amount in excess of
funds available for such new construction.
A personal application however, by res
ident OF Dolilldsonv.lle, on behalf Of its
citizens, with assurance that the citizens
would subscribe and advance as much as
$1,000 towards such construction, the sums
so advanced to be rcpayab!e in telegraph
ing, Induced our committees some weeks
ago TO direct that the subscription be APP
piled for, and on being made by responsible
citizens approxilnating the amount named
and satisfactory arrangements made with
the railroad company for the right of way
and transportation, the line would be con-
strueted.
This action has been communicated to our
Superintendent, with direction to make and
forward an estimate of the cost of the line
and the materials needed therefor, and in
the meantime to make application for the
contribution by subscription to aid in its
construction. No report from the Superin
tendent has yet been received, and l have
directed inquiry to be made as to what pro-
gress has been made in the matter.
Again thanking you for your kindness in
Fir IIu an frt1Iy
yours, NORVlN GREEN.

The minutes Of the regular monthly
session of the Common Council are pub
lished III this issue of the CHIEF. The
revocation Of the contract with the So
called Town Scavenger was no doubt
commendable, for, as Mr.. Pugh remarked,
the 5000 paid the Scavenger, while very
small pay for proper performance of
his duties, is too large a sum to donate
if the Scavenger fails to fulfill his con-
tract. The selection of DR.. John Z. DUFF
fel as delegate to the American Public
Health Association, which is to meet in
New Orleans on the 9TH proximd, insures
Donaldsonville excellent representation
in that important assembly.

Sweets to the sweet! The CHIEF has
been favored with two pretty samples of
new sugar, one of I" off white from Col
L. A. Bringisr of Hermitage plantation,
the other of "open kettle" from Mr.. G.
B. Renss of Germania. Both are splen-
did specimens of their respective grades,
and indicate the generally excellent
qualities Of sugar our planters are man
ufacturing this season. Col. Bringier
promises us . sample Of his first quality
sugar in few days, when he gets rid of
tho poor stubble" from which his So
called off white is made. All we have
to say is, that if the sample to come is
much superior in grain or color to that
already received, it should rank peerless
among Louisiana sugars.

The very name Of Old Virginia Kitch-

and toothsome yiands cooked i'll the most
perfect style and served up in an elegant
way with the clcanest Of tableware /; and
this is just what the Old Virginia Kitcl-
en- at 137 Poydras street, New Orleans,
is noted for. AS place where lunches
or meals can be secured OH short notice
and at trifing cost, it has no superior in
the city. The second floor is fitted up
expressly for the accommodation of ladies
with escorts and children. The old Viz
ginia dinner for so cents is the best thing
the New Orleans eating saloons afford.
