A prominent, intelligent and sensible
colorel man who was approached by the
leaders Of the 'tsuspicious movement"
to which we referred in the last issue Of
tho CHIEF, has prepared the following
statement Of the interview, and we take
pleasure in giving it space in our col
umns:
ASCENSION, October Is, 1881.
Two Of the leaders Of the intended strike
called upon the writer this morning to ascer-
tain what would be his position in regard

Another we'll known citizen and Re-
publican Of Ascension, temporarily re-
siding III New Orleans, and who is well
acquainted with the situation Of affairs
and the character Ct men at tho head Of
tho ridiculous strike movement, writes
us as follows:
New ORLEANS, Oct. l9, 1881.
DEAR Cu1EF:
l am glad to see you are giving the col
ored people timely warning not to engage
in strike. / heard something about an
attempt of that kind being made by persons
who have no interest in common with those
very laboring Glasses whom they are trying
to nislead. The laborers Of Ascension have
nothing to gain and everything to lose by
following the counsel Of men who arc evi-
IDENTIFY anxious to handle the money to be
paid by those foolish enough to listen to
thoir sweet words.
BASE BALL.-The Burnsides of Dom
allsonville visited the Clark place last
Sunday and played gu interesting game
with the New Hopes, Tho local cham
pions were victorious BY score Of IS to
-, as follows:
-..2 5 0 9 90 3 2-25
New Hopes, 20 0 l 3O2 $40
Umpire-J. NJ. Heating Of Gfasaho ppers.
Scorers-R. NJ. McCulloh for Bnrnsides,
&. I. Hart for New Hopes.
The Burnsiaes played a very good
game as q whole, and had it not been
for three or four wild throws the score
Of their opponents would have been kept
down to about u runs. Mr. Sidney
centre fielder of the Burnside
team, distinguished himself by magnif-
cent play, both in the field and at the
bat, carrying of The laurels Of the game.
The New Hopes played with yigor and
pluck throughout and the eafo batting
IF the Burnsides was all that saved them
from defeat. The Hopes intend to main
tain their organization next season and
will make determined effort to capture
,he championship.
Another game between the New Hopes
md Burnsides is fixed for tomorrow,
out the weather outlook at this writing |
$ very dubious aud it is probable rain !
will interfere with the match. II 60,
'ho game o. last Sunday win doubtless |
lose the seasons sport, though the town
,luts may play scrub games at home
when the weather is good.
The Boston Juniors CT Port Barrow
lad challenged the Bad Boys, j., Of
3moko Bend for match game last Sun
lay. The challenge was accepted and
he Smoke Bond boys were on hand at
he appointed time aud place, but the Bos-
ons failed to put in an appearance. The
Jane was to be for stake of$5.
The Rambnnctious club of Painoorrt-
lille has reorganized under the namo Of
he Eagle Base Ball Club, with E. A.
lauve, ESQ, as Captain. The change Of
'ame is to bs commended and we hope
o 500 the Eagles fly high during the sea-
on of 1882. .....'
