The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1881-09-03
GOOD NEWS
A FAVORABLE CHANGE In PREsI-
DENT GARFIELD's CONDITION.

His Coi,va:escence and Recovery Almost
Ass1rcd-It is Probable he will be
Removed to Long Branch.
1t becomes our pleasant privilege to
report u wonderful improvement in the
condition OF President Garfield and to
announce tho opinion of the surgeons,
steadily growing into certainty, that
their patient is travelling towards conva-
lcscence and ultimate recovery. When
the last number of the CHIEF was print
cd the President was very low, aud the
country was filled with dire forebodings
of the fatal result which seemed SO near
at hand: hut with one foot, as it were,
stepping into the grave and the other
almost ready to follow, the noble sufferer
| upon whose PROSTATE form the eyes OF
the whole civilized world are fixed i'll
sympathy and reyiving hope, turned
steadily about and withdrew from the
dread chasm which had opened to en-
gulph him.
| The pus sccretions Of the inflamed pa
| rotid gland have found several new
channels of exit, and this complication
Of the case is gradually becoming less
| troublesome, painful and dangerous. The
pus dist llarges from the wound have inn
proved in character, though their guam
tity is not as great as desired. The Pres
idcnt's stomach seems to have entirely
recovered it's tone. He takes nourish-
mcnt in daily increasing quantities and
finds no trouble i'll digcsting it. The re-
stored clearness Of his mind and revival
of the mental energies is an important
and encouraging feature Of the case.
The project Of removing the President
from the White House for a change of
air is being again discussed, and it is
probable he will he taken to Long Branch
or some adjacent point during the COM
ing week, provided he takes no unfayor-
able turn in the meantime. The patient
himself earnestly desires this change and
participates in the discussion Of the plan
with much interest.
1t must not be assumed that the Prcsi-
dent is out Of danger, for this is far from
certain. Complications may yet arise,
as they have dono heretofore, to delay
convalescence; but there is increased
ground for hope and all present indica-
iions point to ultimate recovery. The
nation brcathcs more freely and the load
Of sorrow which was last week settling
down upon the hearts Of the people has
been removed.

end to her earthly troubles. Her lovers
picture was found by her side.
When the Supreme Court rendered
decision divesting the Crescent City
slaughterhouse Company of its monopoly
features the public was led to believe
that there would be fair and equal
competition in the meat business, and
that in consequence the price of meat
would be lowered. But the expectation
was doomed to disappointment, since
the slaughterhouse monopoly is at pres
ent seemingly quite as secure in the pos
session of its exclusive privileges as if
the Supreme Court had never declared
that the city, with the concurrence of the
Board of Health, could grant the right
to butchers to establish slaughterhouses
and to kill their cattle outside of the
pens of the Crescent City Slaughterhouse
Company. An attempt was made a few
days ago to carry into operation the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, but without
avail. The. Council adopted an ordinance
fixing the limits within which the slaugh-
tering Of cattle can be carried on and
sent it to the Board of Health for the
latter's concurrence. That quasi medical
institution refused to give the ordinance
its approval, upon sanitary grounds, and

Since the New Orleans Pacific Railroad
| has been under the able administration
the road has increased and the line has
advanced in popularity with the people,
who are gradually abandoning steam
boat travel and resorting to the more
| rapid and certain means of locomotion
afforded by the iron horse. Louisiana's
great need at present is the development
of her resources, and this can only be ac-
complishcd by the building of railroads
| connecting the remote and inland por-
tions of the State with the metropolis
and thus facilitating the transportation
of their products to market. Look, for
Instance, at the primitive mode of navi-
CATION which prevails OH Bayou La
fourche during the low water season.
The continued use of slow and cumber-
some fathoats i'll this productive and
wealthy region is a disgrace to the age
| and must be attributed to want of en-
ergy and enterprise among the people,
and to the fact that capitalists have not
been apprised Of the harvest Of profits
that would result from the construction
of Il narrow gauge road to follow the
course of the Lafourche. With a little
| effort among the people most interested,
this desirable improvement might easily
| be secured. Au reroir.

Notes About the Rice and Cane Crops-An
Influx of Tramps-Two Men Drowned
Death of MIR. Y. +. NJ. Anderson.

EDITOR CHIEF:
Ii the sun is burning us, the dust cho-
king us and the heat Of summer at its
extreme, our rice farmers are delighted +;
the season is extraordinarily favorable
for cutting and thrashing and they are
taking full advantage of it. The rice
crop will be great success this year,
both in quantity and quality. The av-
erayc yield in this section is stated to be
about sixteen sacks to the acre. The
crop Of the Uncle Sam plantation, Mrs.
l.. Malus, is expected to reach 5000 sacks !;
that of Mr.. Octave Jacobs st. Michael
place, from $500 to 1000 sacks; II. o. Co
lombs Columbia place, $500 to 5000; J.
B. Morsou's Wilton place, $500 to 5000 :;
II. Alpuente's Helveta. $500 to 1000; N.
?. Tr!st will make 1000 to $500; j. A.
Bourgeois, 1900 to 5000; Louis S. Lee
Bourgeois, Belmont place, 1000 to 5000 );
L. & E. c. Mife, Acadia place, 1000 to
5000; Gaulet Bros, 5000 to $500: Lapice
Bros, 5000 to $500; Forstall Bros, st.
James Estate, 1900 to 5000; Guedry's,
200 to 800; B. S. Webre, 1900 to 1900 !;
Cabanoed place, $500 to 5000.
l can not forbear mentioning the en-
terprise and good Judgment manifested
in the management Of the Uncle Sam
and st. Michael places. Besides other
improvements they have new appara-
tus for baliny the rice straw which works
like charm. Two men, boy and one
mule can pnt up from 50 to 100 bales PCT
day, the bales averaging 100 pounds
each. The press only cost $500. Imagine
the economy ana profit Of such a ma
chine. Instead oi burning the straw or
throwing it into the river, it is baled and
shipped at an expense which scarcely
exceeds that u hauling It away, and the

product is worth in the New Orleans
market from FLA to Is ton.
The cane crop is making good head
way, and is looking much better than
was anticipated two months ago. As u
general thing, two thirds of sugar crop
| will be made this year.
| The harvesting Of tho rice crop has at
tracted to our parish 1900 to 1900 white
and colored laborers from all parts Of the
State. New Orleans has furnished u full
quota, principally tramps, who get drunk
Saturday afternoons and Sundays and
cut up the devil, compelling our peacd-
ably disposed citizens TO arm themselves
calls them away from home. During the
nights of Saturday and Sunday cursing,
bowling and pistol shooting are heard on
every hand. Justice Charles Dewenstrom
of the fourth ward is always as busy as a
bee on Mondays, disposing of cases grow
ing out Of these brawls.
Last Sunday about IL o'clock NJ, one
Luke Davis, colored, entered the store of
Mr.. Willie Melancon and by brow beating
the young clerk, Sidney wton, had al
most succeeded in taking possession of
the store. There is no telling to what
length he would have carried his demon
stration had not Mr.. Melancon oppor-
tunely returned from dinner and forcibly
elected the intruder. Davis was arrested,
aud after undergoing examination before
Justice w. II. Lawton, was committed to
Jail.
Sunday night about 9 o'clock a party
Of eight young colored men from the La
pice place, who had spent the evening at
various stores above the Uncle Sam plan
tation, started across the river in a skitf.
When about half way over, one Of the
men, being pretty tight, fell from his
seat and broke the bottom of the boat,
causing it to take water rapidly. Two of
the party threw off their clothing and
swan ashore. AS they jumped overheard
the skff capsizc1 and two of its occu-
pants were drowned. The other four
clung to the boat and were fortunately
rescued. The bodies of the drowned men
were recovered Tuesday morning, oppo-
site their place of residence, and an in
quest was held by the Coroner.
Mr.. V. L. NJ. Anderson died at his res
idence in this parish last Wednesday,
aged 40! years, and was buried at the St.
James Catholic church on Thursday, the
Goth inst, at 2 o'clock p. NJ. A large at
tendance Of relatives, friends and ac-
quaintances was noticeable at the flu
neral Mr.. Anderson was good citizen
and an honest man, beloved by all who
knew him, and his loss is felt by the en-
tire community.
