AVETERAN,S VISIT.

Editor Gfisamore Of the Thibodanx
Sentinel gives tho following account of
his brief sojonrn at our town en- route to
the levee convention at Baton Ronge:
At Donaldsonville we debarked, and 4
stroll was taken around town. The venera-
bic Catholic Church, and the Market House
days. All else had changed. War and fire
had passed with their devastating effects,
and these two buildings alone remain to tell
the story Of destruction and ruin. In an
hours promenade, not a single face Of the
Olden time was met with, nor a single shake
OF the hand as was our won't to receive in
this place in the years gone by. Such is
life; men appear and disappear; but the
world moves on.
We called at the office of tho Donaldson
vile CHIEF where we were kindly received
and welcomed by the editor Of that sterling
and enterprising paper, L. E. Bentley. Em-
ployed in the same Office was found Harry
Gould, whose acquaintance we had formed
thirty years ago in Assumption, and whom
ing around considerably, editing papers in
various points, anf finally settled down in
Donaldsonville. more. it is thought, to keep
concealed from the vicious eyes of uncle
Harry Hyams of the Sugar Planter than
FROM any other especial desire. This copy
OF the Sentinel VIII not be sent to the Sugar
Planter man rs we do not wish to have our
young friend, now concealed in the office of
the CHIEF, TO become again the target for
Hyams poisoned arrows that he has been
hurting at every innocent mans head for
the last seventy five years.
just SO, Bro. Silas; your knowledge of
Hyams' principal occupation for three
quarters Of a century is pretty conclusive
evidence, taken in connection with the
above malevolent insinuation, that the
old sinner Of Port Allen is neither an OK
ccptional octogenarian nor alone in the
practice of hurting venom-t tipped shafts
at youthful innocence

During our recent visit to New Orleans
we had the pleasure of forming the ac-
quaintance of Mr. F. P. Holland, travel
ing agent for the Teras Siftings, pub
lished at Austin, Texas. The SDtings is
a new paper, having been established
some time last year, but during its short
career it has shown such marked ability
and merit that it ranks to-day as one Of
the leading journals Of the Lone Star
State, having a circulation somewhat
above 10000.

A communication to va. p, from the
seventh card, Livingston parish, gives "a
sketch of q wolf hunt in that vicinity
recently, in which fourteen men and fiji
teen dogs participated. The wolf was
an old settler, female in gender, vicious
in design and voracionsly hungry on
principle; besides being somewhat fast
i'll style and speed-leading the CANNES
and their followers Il merry race for the
greater part of Il day and fnally whip
ping out the whole crowd. During the
chase the outlaws den was discovered,
and six of her progeny were found keep
ing house while the dame was absent on
an important business transaction. The
hunters, as last resort, placed traps in
and around the VOLTS pre- emption, and
a visit to that locality the next morning
showed the strategy had been successful,
for the old lnarander was securely caught
and, with her half-dozen whclps;, suffered
the death penalty.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

Desiring to obtain an approximate
IDEA of the state of political feeling
! among Southern Democrats, the New
York Times addressed the following in
quiries to 100 prominent persons, editors
of newspapers at the county or parish
seats in the States of Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina
aud Texas:
!. Is the policy of the Democratic party
managers i'll harmony with the general sen
| tinient OF the people of your district2 If
chiefly directed against the principles or the
persons sustained by the party leaders
H. How do your people regard the admin
| istratiOn of President Arthur
| LII. Is there ia your neighborhood any
decided expression of opinion in regard to
| the tariffs 1t s0, what is the extent and
natures
Over fifty responses to these inquiries
were received, from which the Times
derives the conclusions 1. that the " solid
South" still exists-that is, the mass of
the Southern whites are yet mistaken in
their fealty to the national Democracy
and the dissatisfaction with local leaders
and methods apparent here and there is
not of such a character as to seriously
affect the general condition of public
sentiment; Q. that the estimate of Presi-
dent Arthur's administration varies
considerably and seems to be affected
more by local than general considerations;
for instance, in sections where the i'm
provement Of the Mississippi river and
the maintenance Of its levees is a para
monnt object of interest and solictutle,
the course Of the President is warmly
commended, while in other portions of
the South disappointment with the
alleged partisan tendency of the admin
istration and unsatisfactory class of
appointments to office is freely expressed
g. that there is comparatively little
discussion of the tariff question, but
where it is agitated, the prevailing senti-
ment is in favor Of "tariff for revenue
only" In the sugar region, of course, q
system of protective duties Oh imported
cane products is considered essential to
the existence Of the predominant indus
try, and in fact, the term tariff for
revenue only" is generally construed to
imply such incidental protection to home
industries as may be necessary to their
profitable maintenance.

From the biennial report of Hon Will
A. Strong, Secretary of State, we learn
that there are l72,005 registered voters
in Louisiana, of whom s5,451 are white,
ss,024 colored, 15S,45s native and 1926
foreign born. OF the whites 60 COS write
their names and 16,913 do not; 12, 4o3
colored voters write their names and 76,-
OBJ make their marks. In view of these
tig'ares may we inquire what becomes of
the old charge that the Republicans per-
petrated frauds i'll the registration when
in power i'll this State to make it appear
that the colored voters exceeded the
whites in number?

We think our friend of the Assumption
Pioneer is mistaken in his assumption
that the appearance of Gen. Chalmers of
Mississippi in the field as an independent
candidate for Congress has condoned his
past offenses and record in the estinla-
ton Of Republicans and that they are
now prepared to receive him with open
arms as an ally and friend. We have
seen no evidences of such sentiment Oh
the part Of the Republicans either in the
country at large or in Gen Chalmers
district. In fact, the disposition among
Republicans as we'll as Democrats seems
to be to let the oHsted Congressman hoe
his own row. The reasons for his boosted
independent action are too palpable to
be misunderstood. Had the Democracy
stubbornly resisted his expulsion from
the seat in Congress to which he was
never entitled and given him assurance
that he woul,l be again I" elected " by the
Vaccinations of Democratic ballot-bo
suffers and the partisan decisions of
Democratic judges, ten to one he would
not have cut loose from his party and
assumed the role of an independent.
The means by which he attained politi-
cal preferment were S" unjust and out
rageous that his present discontinue
should be regarded as we'll merited
retribution. He has earned the humili-
tating RELOCATION to private life which
he is now called upon to undergo and
we trust all good Republicans and
Democrats who favor honesty in public
affairs and desire to maintain the purity
Of the ballot-box will unite in the
1audable purpose of keeping him at
home.
