The handso,nest Internal Revenue
Collector in the State was in town this
week, arriving on Mondays train and
returning to New Orleans the following
day. Judge Marks looked as smiling
and pleasant as usual and gives no out
ward evidences of participating in the
opinion great many people have enter
tanned that he is soon to be superseded
as tax gatherer for Uncle Sam in Louisi-
ana. On the contrary, if external APP
pearances are criterion, there has been
more foundation than was generally
believed for his oft repeated boast that
he is "solid" with the repnted powers
that be. 1t is said Judge Marks has
announced his intention of retaining his
present residence in the Second District
aud becoming a candidate for Congress
sional honors there in 1882.

On behalf Of the youthful miss who
lately entered the family circle Of the
editor Of tho CHIEF, as we'll as on the
part Of her happy parents, we acknowl-
edge with hearty thanks the veritable
shower Of congratulations, kind wishes
and complimentary opinions that have
poured in upon us from friends, acluain-
tances and our eontreres of the press
since the announcement of the little
cherub's arrival. To reproduce in the
CHIEF all the pretty things our friends
have said and to return thanks to each
well-wisher individually would probably
require more space than our readers
would excuse US for devoting to sub
ject of such a personal character, hence
we beg leave to lump' tho congratula-
tons and "bunch" our acknowledge
ments. Rest assured, kind friends, your
fluctuations and expressions Of regard
have been appreciated to the utmost
extent and will be long treasured up in
the storehouses Of grateful memories.

The number of prisoners who escaped
from the parish Jail at Plaquemine on
the 9th of October was seven. In addi-
ton to the three reported in the CHIEF
Joe AlphoDse, George Moore and AL
fred Crawford-there were four others,
named John Bartiste, John Jones, Henry
Robinson and Thomas Wright. Tic
first three were charged with burglary,
rape and horse stealing respectively !;
the others with petty misdemeanors.
Only one prisoner remained in Jail. He
assisted the others to scale the high
fence enclosing the Jail yard, and they
promised TO obtain 4 rope and help him
over, hut failed to do SO. We have not
heard Of the recaptnre Of any Of tho fn-
gitives. The Sheriff Of Ibcrville offers a
reward Of $25 each for the apprehension
Of Alphonse, Moore and Crawford.

We regret to chronicle q serious aeci-
dent to BIZ. j. j. Claverie, one Of the
best known citizens of our town, which
occurred Tuesday night at the sugar
house on n. Israel & Co.'s Saulsburg
plantation, where he was employed in
the capacity of sugar-maker. Mr.. CLAW
erie had OCCASION to examine one of the
syrup tanks, and in stepping upon the
edge Of the brick wall forming the foun-
dation of the tank he missed his footing
and fell, striking the edge of the wall
with the side of his body at point
between the ribs and hip. The blow
caused quite severe internal injury and
Mr.. Claverie has been confined to the
house since the accident. He is able to
move about, however, with the assis:
lance Of crntch, and We hope soon to
report his entire recovery.

Centreville. Nd, Observer.
A most remarkable instance of cat
matroniziDg brood of fowls is exhib.
tied at Mr.. John T. Wooters' poultry
yard in this town. A strange cat reg.
ularly makes its appearance in the yard
and watches the chickens with the
strictest care in all their actions. At
evening when the chickens go to roost
it stations itself at The door of the poul-
try house and sees that every one goes
in, and when the last one passes the
portal the cat goes in and remains with
them. In the morning the cat goes off
for while but soon returns, where it
remains during the day, lying under
the shade trees or in sCme spot where
it can see the chickens. 1t has been
doing this for the past year, but will
not be domesticaied. Mr.. Wooters has
made several efforts to domesticate it.
but without avail, the cat running
away on the approach OF any one. This
is perhaps the strangest freak ever
known in one of the feline tribe.

MEDNEnnAX. MAY 4, 1851.

THE STATE LoAN.-State Treasur-
er Reynolds. has succeeded in dis
posing Of the whole Of the State loan,
at price that shows how high the
credit Of Little Delaware stands, after
being under the rule of the Demo-
cratic party for generation. The
aggregate amount of bonds sold was
$7Ss,000. The average price was
10s. 90, and the premium will amount
to about $50, 600. This is very
pleasant ending of the conversion OF
the State debt.
The result is a saving Of one third
of the annual interest which our peo-
pie have been required to pay by tax
alton, and an addition to the State
fund for school purposes of about sixty
thousand dollars $3.50, 0e0), besides the
($s0, 00O) thirty thousand dollars de-
rived frem the premium. Surely this
is one of the best outcomes of the
Democratic policy, that has saved the
States credit and enabled the little
Commonwealth to occupy 80 proud a
position. 1t secures to her farmers and
property holders a heavy reduction
in the taxes should the next Legisla-
ture be Democratic and see proper to
reduce taxation, which we have every
reason to hope will be the case.

TIE extraordinary increase In the
receipts OK the French railways in 1889
il naturally the subject of sincere re-
joicing in the newspapers. The aug
mentation for that year reached no less
a sum than ia, 00O, 600 francs. The
progress Of the railways during the
last four years ia worthy of examina-
ton. In 1877 the total receipts were
845, 900, 600 francs in 1878, the Exhi-
bition year, 900, 900, 600 francs; in 1879
the increase was less marked but last
year the amount registered was no
less than 1,02s, 900, 900 francs. The
increasing wealth of France indicates
an amount of prosperity which has
never been even approached under any
form of government.

TEE Battle FOR THE spo1Ls

TIE BATTLE FOR THE SPoILs.-
Yesterday we were advised through
Republican newspapers that President
Garfield was very angry, and had
written note to the stalwart Sena-
tors giving them piece of his mind,
which had decided effect, and at that
time was supposed would cause the
deadlock to come to speedy end, in
triumph of the administration over
Conkling and his stalwart hackers !;
but to-day the news has not the same
"rose coloring" for the President.
His anger seems to have worked dam
age to him and his Secretary of State
since it 10 announced in the New York
morning papers in large letters that
"Conkling WINS" A bargain is said
70 have been effected by which an
executive session 10 to be allowed

COllectorship in favor of a Conkling
man, Robertson 10 to be confirmed to
any Office the President may please to
give him.
1t is barely possible that the trading
policy in the Senate has brought tina
body to such degraded position I'M
der Radical influences. But we can
hardly believe it. A 'trose will smell
Is sweet by any other name;" but
''the courtesy Of the Senate" cannot
cover up such trailing in official patron
age to keep political tricksters in ofic,
to the exclusion of better people. L
is just such a policy that fastened thu

abled that family to transfer Office a

become statesmen that could hav'

1t is very difficult to make up'one'

and smirched with the odium that tn
trading politicians of the Conklin
school are now bedubbing it with
We shall not believe that Conklin

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on SO completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for US to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know?
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it,
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest Of everything

Senator Hill, republican, of Color
ado, who is now in New York, is
quoted by the Tribune as declaring
that, in his opinion, the time has
now come when the public business
of the country demands that the re.
publican Senators should do what
they can to dispose of 1t. Mr.. Hill
also says he does not think it will
materially affect the success of the

should the election of Senate officers
be postponed until next December.
