HONOR WHERE HONOR Is DUE.

Speaking of the sweeping Republican
victory and the election of Congressman
Darrall in this district last November,
the New Orleans Daily States says in its
reportorial columns:
1t is clear that the Third District was only
saved through its very conservatism. Had
not the party been strengthened by valuable
accessions for the past ten years, through
the policy inaugurated by the Lafourche
compromise the district would have gone
the way Of all fl-sh-tlat Of North Louisiana.
The States reporter las undoubtedly
attributed the Republican success to its
proper source, but errs i'll crediting the
inauguration Of the victorious policy to
the " Lafourche compromise" The "As-
cension fusion" of 1873 was the first
practical application Of the conservative
policy that has saved the Third Congress
sional District to the Republicans, and
it was not until after the Ascension plan
had been successfully repeated in the
Constitutional Convention cOmpaign of
1879 that the Republicans Of the La
fonrche, St. Martin and other Senatorial
and Judicial districts followed the lead
Of Ascension i'll the new departure.
The Republicans of this parish justly
claim the credit Of establishing the prin-
ciple which was indorsed by the State
platform and advocated by the guberna-
torial candi ate Of their party in 1880,
and they proudly point to tho political
results achieved in the Third Congress
sional District as all unqucstionable vim
dication Of their correct foresight and
the courage they displayed in going ont
side the beaten track of disaster and de-
feat, despite the ca,nor raised against
them by party hacks, tricksters and dem
agogues.

We congratulate our valued contem-
porary, the Baton Rouge Adrocate, upon
the additional charm given to its inter
esting columns by a contribution from
our yivacious correspondent, Vivian
and we dotf our Derby to Miss V. in ac-
acknowledgement Of the very pretty COM
pliment paid the CHIEF i'll the following
extract from her letter to the ddcocate:
A man is never q prophet in his own
country, or a woman either, for that matter,
though zee think we can accomplish almost
any thing we set our hearts on. That is the
reason why have never awaited myself OF
the Adrocates kind invitation to contribute
to its columns while at home, and write tor
the Donadsonville CHIEF, paper that has
other paper in the State, outside Of the Cap
ital City; but now, Id not hear the criti-
cisms of the home folks, hence this missive
from the Crescent City.
Vivian then INDUCES in bit of modest
sclf-depreciation-
am aware that the efforts of one scarcely
emancipated from the school room will COM
pare unfavoraby with the productions of
the gifted writer's, Chatty OF the Aar0cate
and Katrina OF the Capitolian, etc
to which we take peremptory exception.
Vivian's letters not only maintain favor
able comparison with those of other lady
writers whose names are becoming IA
miliar to newspaper readers III Southern
Louisiana, but in one respect, at least,
they exhibit Il decided superiority to the
etfusions Of some Of these correspondents,
and that is in the marked absence of any
tinge of jealousy or spiteful feeling
against Vivian's competitors for fame ii,
the field of newspaper correspondence.

From the People.

EDITOR ExAMINER-Sir: Your paper, protesting to be friendly to the interests |of the common people, and it's pages open for free discussion on any pertinent sub- ject, cannot indorse your first issue as being sample of iberalty, Your ex treme opinions in reference to the Land Act are not consistent with the opinions of Ia large number of Irishmen with whom I have conversed. They wisely recommend a fair trial of the Land Act, which is far in advance as liberal measure of any since the passing of the Reform Bill.
 The resolution on the part of the Par nell branch of the land league, prohibit ing the purchase of English manufactured goods by it's members, is unwise; cannot do any good, and is an attempt to injure the working classes of England who are suffering from over taxation and oppres- sive land laws with the Irish themselves. You cannot by such means have the full of Englishmen in your cause, believing, as they do, in obtaining their rights from the government by legitimate and peaceful means.
 Yours in the cause of Justice, T.s.

General Grant being interviewed, duly deposes that Jim Blaine is (" bad and un- scrupulous man." who "crawls up to the enemy's back in a cowardly fashion and stabs him from behind"; that Blaine in- spires or writes all the important political correspondence of the New York Tribune j; that the Tribune has recently sent emissa- ries to him (Grant) with the offer to sup port Arthur and the stalwarts if fat offices were given to some of the Tribune's friends that he (Grant) spurned the offer, because he hates the Tribune for having on January g, A. D. 1875, advocated his (Grant's) assassination and that if the Tribune doesn't quit it's attack upon the stalwart administration right soon, he (Grant) will divulge secrets of the dead past which will blow the Tribune sky high. And to all this the irreverent Tribune laughs sneeringly and says in effect. "Go ahead, old man ease your mind and be d-danged. We can stand it if you can. !" From these surface indications we gather that the band is almost ready to strike up, and the solemn time for small boys to fall back from the ring has come.- Utdco O6- se9ver.
 The adage informs us, that ''when rogues quarrel honest men come by their rights. " This, however, is not always true, and never will be, until the time comes when honest men will have knowledge of what their rights are. That they row have not is apparent to every thoughtful creature, for if they had, such characters as Grant, and such journals as the Tribune, would occupy much less Of their attention.
