THE lHURIH PILLARS.

Last Tuesday evening the long looked for
marble columns which are to be placed in
the new Catholic Church at this place ar
rived at the Donaldsonville wharf in one of
the model barges of the Mississippi Valley
Transportation Company, towed from New
Orleans here by the steamer John w. Gil
more. Wednesday evening the steam ferry
boat Bella Israel was employed to tow the
barge around the point into Bayou La
fourche, at the head of Iberyille street,
where the craft was moored and the work Of
getting the heavy stone packages ashore at
once commenced under the supervision Of
Father Ceuppens and Mr.. S. M. Fucich,
agent of the maker of the pillars, and also
of the New Orleans consignees, Messrs.
Massich & Co.
A set of. tilnber-wheels were procured
from Messrs. Mccall Bros, with which it
WAS proposed to convey the pillars to the
church premises, but objection was made
to this on behalf of Mess:s. Massich & Co.,
for the reason that there is quite a large
sum yet due upon the columns: SO for the
present the packages will be allowed to
remain on the vacant lot at the corner of
Iberville and I4afourche streets. It is to be
hoped that an early adjustment of the diff
Guilty which keeps the Catholic Church
closed and its spiritual and temporal affairs
in q state Of suspense and uncertainty Will
take place, in order that the columns may
be paid for and removed to less exposed
locality.
A large number OF persons have visit ed
the barge and inspected the marble pack
ages as far as their castings would permit
and enough can be seen to give g pretty
well defined idea of the beauty of the ma
terial and fire quality of the workmanship.
There will be general desire to see the
pillars taken from their castings and placed
in the positions for which they areintended.
AS we stated two weeks ago, the columns
were made in Austria by the father of our
friend and former fellow citizen, Mr.. Sam.
NJ. Fucich, but the residence OF The maker
is in the province OF Istria instead OF Dali
malta, as we enormously presumed. lstria
is situated at The head of the Ad1iatic Sea,
and its chief port is Triest, at which city
the columns were entered for shipment to
America aboard the Austrian brig Plod.

nEFInIAI, ALLEGATIONS.

1t is currently reported that most OF the
town officers elected on the 9Th instant have
abdicated their claims to the positions to
which they were respectively chosen, and
that the designations we're procured under
circumstances that, to say the least, reflect
no credit upon the manipulator5 of the
transaction.
The right of an Office holder to resign is
as inalienable as the right of the people to
elect him, and the CHIEF will not be found
questioning either privilege. AS we have
before asserted, the personnel of the town
administration is to us a matter of small
moment, but we hold that the laws upon
our statute books should be obeyed, that
public officials should perform their sworn
duties faithfully, and that an attempt to
relegate to the Governor Of the State the
selection of our municipal officers when
the charter vests that right in the voters Of
the town is, in plain terms, an outrage.
We draw two leading conclusions from
the compromise and bargain by which the
abdication of the elected officials has been
secured: /. That the parties who have SO
strenuously opposed the holding of the
election and denied its validity, have no
confidence in the legality of their position;
2. That the pretended desire to escape the
excitement and corruption attending our
annual town elections was only cloak to
cover the Interior purpose Of placing the
selection of officers in the hands Of few
associated individuals who were conscious
Of their inability to secWe the endorsement
of the people at the polls. Bribery and
corruption are convenient words to hurl at
an antagonist, but those who employ them
ought to keep their own hands unsoiled.
We hold to our former opinion that If a
regular and legitimate course had been pur-
sued by the town administration and a
good ticket put quietly III the field, it could
have been easily elected; and we are more
firmly convinced than ever that the officers
who were chosen on the 9th instant would
have vindicated their right to their respec-
tive positions had they chosen to continue
tho oop+nSt

SMALL Po1.-Notwitkstand the warm
weather, which is supposed to check the
progress of this disease, the small pox per-
sistently maintains its hold upon the south
eastern corner of our town, though it at
tacks only colored persons and but few of
these at a time. -Four new cases have ap-
peared this week, the names and residences
Of the patients being as follows:
Scott Bryant, colered boy, Taylor street.
George Toppins, colored boy, Lessard
street, next to the railroad
August Conway, eolored youth, Railroad
Avenue, near Claiborne street.
Chloe Bradley, colored girl, St. Michael
street.
Contrary to expectation, both the man
and woman who came here from parts I'M
known, suffering with small pox, and who
were conveyed to the vacant house on the
Catholic Church land near the railroad, are
getting well. The woman had a compare
lively light attack Of the disease, but the
mans case was a severe one, and 1t was
thought he would not recover. Our colored
people, as rule, are so Obvious of the
danger arising from contact with this foul
malady and SO thoughtless in exposing
themselves to infection that it seems nearly
impossible to devise and execute methods
of arresting the spread of the disease among
them.

AsCENsION'S RESPONSE.

Il gives US pleasure to commend the &C
ton of the Police Jury Of this parish i'll
voting q contribution Of $3.50 to the fund
for the benefit Of the Charity Hospital at
New Orleans. We fully expected an appro-
priation from our .:arochiat legislators for
this purpose, but their iiberality has ex-
ceeded our ;inticipaticns.
Up 10 Saturday last the subscriptions TO
the fund from private sources i'll this town
and parish amounted to SOL l.: which,
added to the Police Jury's appropriation,
makes a total of SOL A. This amount
will be still further increased, and we est
mate that Ascension's contribution to the
fund will reach 800 at least. If the other
parishes do as well. no doubt ample means
will be obtained to make the desired i'm
provements to the noble Institution in
which tie sick and suffering CT all nations
and classes find refuge and assistance III
their hour Of need.
