PRIMARY ELECTION.-At the recent
session of the Democratic committee for
the Third Congressional District it was
decided to hold primary elections in the
parishes of the district on Saturday next,
the 11th of February, for the purpose Of
choosing delegates to Congressional
nominating convention to be held in
New Orleans on the goth instant. There
will be no intermediate parochial con-
ventions, but the Democratic voters will
elect the delegates to the Congressional
convention direct, as indicated by the
following resolutions adopted by the
committee:
Resolved, That the chairman of this
committee be and he is hereby authorized
and directed to call Congressional con-
vention for the Third Congressional Dis
trict, to meet at New Orleans on Monday: /:
nominating or indorsing candidate for the
Democratic party to the ALVlllth Con-
gress.
Rcsolped, That each ward Of every parish
Of the Third Congressional District shall be
entitled to elect one delegate to said Con-
gressional convention. That each delegate
| SO elected shall be entitled, personally or
| by proxy, to cast in said convention votes
| equal in number to those cast by the ward
| he represents for the Democratic candidate
| for President at the election OF November z,
1880.
Resolrcd, That the chairman of this com
| mitted be and he is hereby authorized and
directed to appoint or cause to pc appo'ne.
| ted and notify, one person in each ward OF
every parish of the district, to call q ward
meeting by posters or publication, on Satur.
| day, February II. 1882, for the purpose OF
electing delegate to represent said ward
| in the Congressional convention.
Resolred, that the chairman OF this CON-
mittee may, at his discretion, otter SUCH
| he may deem wise and expedient to carry
| out the above resolutions.
We believe persons have been desig-
mated to conduct the election in Ascen-
sion as provided in the resolutions, but
who they are, and whether the Justice
Of the Peace or the Police Jury wards
are to be regarded as the basis Of appor-
| tionment, we have not been Informed.
If the Justice wards are meant, this par.
ish will be entitled to ten delegates; il
Police Jury wards are taken, the number
will be eight. It is probable little inter:
est will be manifested in the election and
a very light vote polled. The notice
given has been meagre, the date unus,'
ally early and there is said to be only
one aspirant for the Congressional nom
ination-Mr. Acklen. Under the circum'
stances it is not to be expected that
there will be . large or enthusiastic
Iautpouring Of voters.

Every man, woman and child in the
community ought to be vaccinated,
since by this means alone can we be
fully assured Of exemption from an
epidemic Of small pox. The means of
protection are SO simple and easily
attained that there is no excuse for any
intelligent person failing to take advan-
tage Of them. We suggest to the priests
and ministers in charge of the local
churches that it would be wise to follow
the example Of their New Orleans
brethren and urge upon the members Of
their congregation the advisability of
being vaccinated at once. Provision
has been made by our town authorities
for the free vaccination Of the poor of
Donaldsonville, hence mono will be
justified in holding back on the plea of
expense. The Police Jury ought to
provide in similar manner for the
general vaccination of the laboring

rarIy One More for Kansas.

Yesterday We had the pleasure of
a long talk with Col, w. L., Mullen, who
arrived in thecitY last night with the
"Kansss Queen" supposed 10 be the
largest COW in the United States. This
animal is but four years old, stands sew
enteen hands high, measures ten feet
around the girth, and weighs the mod
crate sum of 5000 pounds. She is three
fourths English Durham, and was bred
by Capt Stephens of Cowley county,
who disposed of her to the present
owner Col Mullen is on his way to New
York and other eastern points with her,
to show the people of the east that Kan
sas can breed equally as large cattle as
grasshoppers, and when they see the
"Queen" we opIne they will not ques-
ton the assumption. The Colonel
proposes to exhibit this mammoth bo-
vine in the towns and cities along his
route, and to pay travelling expenses,
an admission of % and 10 cents will be
charged. She will be on exhibition
in a tent on Commercial street, in
this city, until next Monday None of
our stock raisers should fail to see this
animal. She is Kansas bred and rear
ed cow, and like most Kansas pro-
auctions she will bare close scrutiny.
She is compactly and squarely built, is
of clear white color, and is thorough
" kind and docile. The Colonel has
been offered 5000 for her, but expects
to do better, and we hope he will

satisfactory to the PnhIic.

By reference to the report OF the pro-
cecdings of the city council it will he
seen that Mr.. E. NJ Forde was reap
pointed city clerk by the mayor and con
firmed by the council at its meeting last
Tuesday and that Dan. Hammond re
tains the Office of street commissioner
for another year We regard the action
of the mayor and council in this matter
as eminently judicious and feel that it
cannot fail to meet with the hearty en-
dosement of our citizens.
Mr.. Forde was first appointed TO the
responsible position of city clerk in
1874, and as a recognition of his pecu.
liar fitness for its duties has been re.
tanned for eight successive years. His
excellent business qualifications, coupled
with his intimate knowledge of our mu
nicipal affairs, render his services of the
greatest value TO the public, and our
city fathers have given evidence of theiI
wisdom in retaining such a competent
official
Dan Hammond, during years ser
vice as street commissioner, has proved
faithful in the discharge of his manifold
duties and has earned his reappoint
ment by his efforts to improve the con
ditIon Of our public thoroughfares. He
is the right man in the right place, and
it affords us pleasure to note that tho
council appreciate this fact.
