Tuesday morning the dead body of an
Irishman apparently Is years Of ago was
found in ono Of the rooms Of the old de-
pot building at the foot Of Railroad Ave-
nue.. We learn that the deceased had
been employed as section hand OH the
railroad, but for some reason was dis
charged, aud for several days prior to his
death had been going about looking for
work. The matter having escaped our
memory up to the hour Of sending this
issue of the paper to press, we have not
ascertained the name of the unfortunate
or the finding Of the Coroners inquest.
We shall give these particulars in our
next number.

A SMALL STR1KE.-The field hands on
the plantation of Mr.. John Rsass, in the
1st ward, struck for higher wages on Mon
day last. Mr.. Reuss, who had assured
his laborers he would pay as much as
any other planter during grinding, re-
fused the demand and ordered Ave or
six of the leaders in the movement off
the premises. On Tuesday all the old
hands applied for unemployment and SO
many Others came along looking for
work that before the day was over Mr..
Reuss had moro laborers than be could
supply with cane knives. This ineffec-
tual strike is attributed by Mr.. Reuss
and others to the :inhuence of the So
called Laboring Mans Association move
| ment, and its result will no doubt
convince the laboring people Of the vicin-
ity that the scheme is just what the
CHIEF has declared it to be-a humbug
and snare, devised to give its origina-
tors pecuniary' harvest and political
influence, without regard to the real in-
terests of the laboring classes.
PLANTATION SoLD.-Tho Pelico plan
tation, belonging to the estate Of the
late Edmond Bujol of this parish, and
situated in the first ward, about seven
! miles above Donaldsonville, was sold at
public auction last Saturday in accord
ance with the advertisement which ap-
peared in the CHEF for some weeks
previous to that day. There were sew
eral bidders for the property and it was
finally adjudicated jointly to Mr.. Theo-
dule B. Bujol, administrator Of the es-
| tate, and his sister, Mrs. Edmonia St.
Martin, wife of Mr.. Emile st. Martin,
for tho sum of 1874, 900, one-half payable
January J, 1882, the other January I,
1888. The stock, agricultural imple-
monts, growing crops and other appur-
tenances Of the place are included in

BASE BALL.-The New Hope nine came
over to town last Sunday prepared to
meet the Burnsitles for the last time this
season, but rain began to fall about noon
and continued until nightfall, rendering
it impossible to play. The Hopes have
laid away their uniforms until spring.
All their members are at work on sugar
plantations and they will not he able to
play again until the rolling season is over.
The Eagles Of Paincourtville invited
! the Burnsides to visit them for the pur-
pose of playing game last Sunday, but
a prior engagement and rainy weather
were the two obstacles in the way Of the
meeting. The Grasshoppers have solicit
ted the Eagles to play in Donaldsonville
tomorrow, but the weather outlook is
so very unfavorable that it is doubtful
if any game can be had.

one that could be depended upon for
many votes. 1t was largely composed
of Democrats and the gross percentage
of the Republicans present were sup.

Republican party, Gen. Baily. While
there are many men who will go and
hear Mr.. Wolfe plead bis cause for the
sake Of hearing him, vet they will not

We have now gone through with

The Commonwealth was perfectly
willing that the Commissioners should
expenG an ertra $50 for doing that
piece of work. Had Mr.. Ledebur
voted to give that paper $50, hush.
money, as it were, the above item
would never have appeared, but he
had too much good sense and honor
to pay out that amount of the peoples
money for that purpose. After finding
that the commissioners were not dis.
posed to pay it $50. just to keep its
mouth shut, they thinking it unmise
to squander money by publishing in
that one. horse sheet of doubtful circu-
lation, and considering the object of
the law being to publish and not tn
conceal reports in which the public
were interested, the Commonwealth
wanted to do it for S25. The facts in
the case are simply these the pay for
publishing the Auditors Report has
heretofore been $40. a proposition
was made to publish the Report for
$3.50, but the commissioners, knowing
that publication in two papers was
sufficient, published in the RErUBLI.
CAN and Democrat for $50 each,
thereby saving the county $50. Now,
then, had Mr. Ledebur voted to ex-
pend the other $50 10 publishing in
the Commonwealth, that sheet would
have been satisfied, and would not
have thought he was spending money
ioolishly not bit Of it. That would
have been all right as far as it was
concerned. These are the facts in the
case and they can be fully substanti.
ated f; and if the Commonwealth thiuks
to bolster up its candidates by diving
into the nominees of the opposite side
it will fall far short of the mark, as il
did last year in the case of Treasurer
Foreman. Let it keep right on. That
kind Of argument will only help Mr.
Ledebur in the eyes Of the voters anc
taxpayers, and will make his election
doubly sure. Just sling all of tha
kind Of mud you can.

Signals Reply to omikron

Surely Omikron has wonderful eyes to
discover so many mistakes where none
exist
1. Sigma, in giving his own views of
the third act in r vision, was not expected
to go back to the first origin of the notion
of revision. If SO, he would have to travel
farther back than 1864. Yes, to 1852
Omikron admits that the Revision Com
mittee was dismissed in 1878.
2. Sigma did not call Col. Preston s
name, nor make any but complimentary
allusion to him. AS to the term "Prayer
Book, Sigma meant Book of Prayers
for Presbyterians. He knows that it
would be optional at first, but when things
become ripe it would be enacted as com
pulsory. You educate your people to
forms and then bind them. See the pro-
cess in the Lutheran and German Re
formed Church now about committed in
this country.
The Presbyterian Church does not deny
the liberty of an optional form of prayer
to any one In its communion Omikron
and others who prefer these forms are
now, and always have been, at liberty to
have and use them. But it is another
thing whether our whole church shall
have the trouble to make and then 90 to
work in reuising Book of Prayer. We
don't object to a crutch for the lame, but
our Assembly is not put up for crutch
factory and repair shop.
3. Sigma disclaims any intention to re-
fleet on Lexington Presbytery. I take
back "squelched,' and correct myself /;
and, in the light of subsequent events |
will say the overture was laid over as a
nice hook to hang revision on in 1879
if no other Presbytery should petition for
revision Of the Directory for Worship.
My proposition is undenied this move
for revision was made in the Assembly of
1879, and without an overture from any
Presbytery or any person.
a. Sigma disclaims any reflection on
the Assembly of 1870 in appointing a
committee on Revision. He does not
think they were wise in doing it. The
Church should have rest from revision.
That is what Sigma contends for.
D. Omikron seems to think that Sigma
has charged the Revision Committee and
the Assembly with unfairness and dis
honesty. Sigma denies this Indictment.
The crookedness, if any there be, is so
obscured by the minutes Of 1879 that
Omikron himself can hardly tell where it
is. Note Omikron says "The Revision
Committee was discharged at Little Rock
in 1873. Then in 1870 there was no
Revision Committee in existence. There
was the Moderator's standing committee
on the Book Of Church Order, but no Re
vision Committee. Now the minute Of
1879, P. 35, says resolution in regard to

Joseph of Arimathaa.

Was Joseph sincere Christian, who
is now enjoying a place in heaven +?
Matthew says (chap. xviii: "And when
even was come, there came rich man
from Arimath@a, named Joseph, who also
himself was Jesus disciple: this man
went to PLATE, and asked for the body of
Jesus. Then Plate commanded it to be
given up. And Joseph took the body and
wrapped it in clean linen cloth, and laid
it in his own new tomb, which he had
hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a
great stone to the door of the tomb and
departed"
Mark says (chap. KY land when
even was now come, because it was the
Preparation, that is the day before the
Sabbath, there came Joseph of Arima-
thea, counsellor of honorable estate.
who also himself was looking for the
kingdom of God and he boldly went in
unto Plate, and asked for the body of
Jesus. And Plate marvelled if he were
already dead and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had
been any while dead And when he had
learned it of the centurion, he granted
the corpse to Joseph And he bought q
linen cloth, and taking him down, wound
him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a
tomb which had been hewn out of rock !;
and he rolled a stone against the door OF
the tomb"
Luke says (chap. xxiii) "And behold,
a man named Joseph, who was coun-
sellor, good man and a righteous Che
had not consented to their counsel and
deed), man Of Arimath@a, city of the
Jews, who was looking for the kingdom
Of God this man went in to Plate, and
asked for the body Of Jesus. And he took
it down, and wrapped it in linen cloth
and laid him in tomb that was hewn in
stone, where never man had yet lain.
And it was the day Of the Preparation,
and the Sabbath drew on"
John says (chap. XIX "And after these
things Joseph of Arimathea, being dis
ciple Of Jesus, but secretly for fear Of the
Jews, asked Plate that he might take
away the body Of Jesus: and Plate gave
him leave. He came, therefore, and took
away his body. And there came also
Nicodemus, he who at the first came to

HIM by night, bringinga mixture ofmyrrh
and aloes, about hundred pound weight.
So they took the body of Jesus, and bound
it in linen cloths with the spices; as the
custom of the Jews is to bury. Now In
the place where he was crucifed there
was garden; and in the garden new
tomb wherein was never man yet laid.
There then because of the Jews Prepare
ton Qor the tomb was nigh at HANDY they
laid Jesus"
The foregoing extracts (taken from the
" revised edition are placed together
for convenience of reference. Let us see
what sort of character they give Joseph !:
L. He was wealthy Jew, who had
come from Arimathea to reside as a
member of the council before which the
Saviour was tried, but he I" did not con-
sent to their counsel and deed" Near
where the crucifxion occurred he had
caused new tomb to be hewn from a
rock, designed, no doubt, as his own bu-
rial place.
2. While thus acting as "a counsellor
of honorable estate" he was also " look
ing for the kingdom of God" He is also
declared to be " a good man and right
eous." Moreover, we have the testimony
Of two of the evangelists that he was a
disciple of Jesus" While he had all the
faith of those who were looking for the
kingdom Of God" he had more-he was
" a disciple of Jesus, in whom he seems
to have recognized the true Messiah quite
as clearly as did any of the chosen apos-
ties, all of whom forsook him and fed
when the hour of trial came.
3. Joseph was at first disciple of Je-
sus secretly for fear of the Jews" but
now, when there is more reason for fear
than there ever had been before, he openly
proclaims his devotion to the Saviour
when " he boldly went in unto Plate and
asked for the body of Jesus" His devo-
ton was still further manifested by the
delicate care with which he and Nicode-
mus performed the last rites of sepulture,
and by the high distinction of allowing
the sacred body to be the first to occupy
his own new tomb.
4. This, then, is the portrait before us {:
A counsellor of honorable estate, waiting
for the kingdom OF God good man and
righteous; a disciple of Jesus, who chung
to his side when others had fed, and who
dared to bestow upon him the most hon
orable sepulture within his power.
B. AS elderly men alone were admitted
to seats in the Jewish Council, and as Jo-
seph had already prepared " his own new
tomb, in view, no doubt, of the rapidly
approaching close of life, we may well
imagine that his own was the next fune-
raj that occurred in that sacred little
cemetery Oh the borders of Jerusalem
May we not thus readily account for the
subsequent silence of sacred history in
regard to this interesting character
