BASE BALL.-There being no regular
game fixed for last Sunday evening, a
couple=of mixsA mines had. bout On the
public square The names of Vivian and
Kangaroo were taken for the occasion.
and the Vivians got away with the Hangs
by the close score of % to 81. 1t was
pip and tuck all through the game, but
nip came ont one point ahead and tuck
the laurels. Poor Kang! Vivian got
him again.
On the same grounds, Monday evening,
the Centennials Of Port Barrow and Cos
mopolitans of Donallsonyille played a
game, which terminated i'll favor Of the
Cosmopolitans by score of 36 to 6. We
hope the Port Barrow club is not too
greatly discouraged by its defeat to meet
tue Burnsides, Grasshoppers and other
clubs of this parish upon the DIAMOND
field. There is good material in the nine
and it only needs practice to develop in
to strong team.
The only match upon the tapis for to-
morrow is that between tho New Hopes
and Grassl,oppers, to be played OH the
grounds of the former, ut the Clark plan
tation. An interesting game is looked
for.
No response has been accorded by the
White Oaks of New River to the invita-
ton to meet the Burnsides of Donaldson
vile at the Clark place tomorrow after
noon. The sturdy little New River ball
tossers and bat-swinSers seem to be I'M
necessarily timorous about crossing bats
with the Burnsidcs, having too modest
an appreciation Of their own prowess
and an exaggerated idea of that of the
town club. They have shown themselves
powerful batters and excellent feeders,
and ought not to hesitate at trying issues
with any other club in the parish
We hear nothing further concerning
the mooted reorganization of the Ram
functions club. What's the matter with
the Paincourtville boys?
Some time ago crowd Of cowardly
ruffians from neighboring parish visi-
ted the place ola young Iberville planter
with the avowed intention of bulldozinc
him for some real or fanced offense. Tie
planter confronted the gang single
handed and alone, and they all took the
back track for home to escape the horse
whipping with which he threatened
them. Commenting upon this incident,
the Iberville South said:
We are opposed to lynch law upon prin-
c,ple, but when set Of men attempt to take
The law into their hands to regulate a peace
tul and law abiding community, then we
advocate that law as the only one that can
reach such despicablc wretclcs. This
remedy has been applied to horse thieves,
cnt.throats and desperadocs in other States,
with sautary effect, and we sincerely
believe that the peace aad tranquility ofour
State demand that the evil Of bulldozng be
extirpated at once, peaccably if possible, by
riolcnce if necessary.
While we should regret to see any
necessity arise for a resort to lynch law,
we heartily agree with the South as to
the absolute necessity Of stamping out
the last vestige of the infamous crime of
bulldozihg from Louisiana. If the press
of the State had always been as out
spoken and fearless us the Iberyille South,
the contemplate practice would never
have secured such strong foothold in
Louisiana as it has done.

THE CHIEFS ACHIEVEMENT.

The regular edition of the CHIEF was
on the streets of Donaldsonville at 9
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, contain
ing intelligence Of the attempted assas-
sination Of President Garfield, at Wash
inyton, four hours and a half before.
Excepting the extra editions of the
New Orleans papers which were doubt
less issued Immediately after the receipt
of the startling news, the CHIEF was
the first newspaper in the State to an
nouncc the exciting event.
For the opportunity Of displaying this
bit of enterprise which is of Il character
dear to the heart of every newspaper
man-wc are indebted to several friends ::
l. to Hon. Henry O. Maher, Chief
Wcigher Of the New Orleans Custom
House, who sent us the first dispatch
over the Donaldsonvillc wire referring
to the dastartlly assault upon the Chief
Executive OF the nation; 2. to Mr.. Jno.
". Hnnsaker, telegraph operator at this
place, who kindly favored us with four
subsequent dispatches which lie received
from the operator at the New Orleans
office, and ;. to the foreman and en-
ployees OF the CHIEF office, who, in the
absence of the editor, put the Important
news in type and cxerted themselves to
have the paper issued at the earliest
moment
We trust we are cxcusablc for feeling
i little pride in this achievement and in
citing it rs a fresh instance of the spirit
Of enterprise which has justified the

A New York ITi5xne reporter inter-

which so much has been said, of late. The
reporter said
There are so many different things

I have not ssaid half dozsn words to

The general campaign inaugurated by
tho ultra temperance advocates and the
vehement opposition it is meeting with
would seem to indicate that we are about
to entire an era of temperance politics, 10
which the old parties will be somewhat
disarrangsd by the new issue. Kansas
Nebraska, Arkansaw, Iowa, Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are all theatres
OF intolerant prohibition movements.
The teetotaisrs have secured possession of
kansas-at least they imagine they have;
they have gained a preliminary victory in
ArksnsaW in the passage through the
house of resolution submitting a prohib-
ition amendment to the constitution. and
they are pushing their campaign with
equal zeal, though with inferior success in
halt dozen other states. The intemper.
ate and intolerant spirit with which these
reformers are conducting their cause
naturally provokes intense and angry on
