\ WASHINGTON dispatch OF the 10Th,
special to the Ghobe-Dsmoe'0 says
that the republican Senators have came
to the conclusion that the democrats
have determined to talk the tariff bill
to death. This is an old dodge, but
if we are not mistaken, the people ofthe
country are getting tired of all kinds of
legislative tricks and drudges. Square
and honest opposition, or equally square
and honest support of any measure
would command respect, but killing or
passing measures by parliamentary
trick is becoming too contemplate to
be much longer acquiesced in. The
people will try new deal by-and-by
ifthere is not reform in the methods,
as well as the objects Of legislation

District Court is in session ut Napoleon
willie. Judge knoblock was i'll the first
week of the term, but has recovered suffi-
GENTLY to resume his judicial duties and
facilitate the transaction of business in the
tribunal over which he presides with dis
tinguished ability, dignity and acumen i.
Among the most important criminal cases
considered by the Grand Jury was that of
the State rs. Gustave Harris, and a true bill
was found against the accused for the muir
der of Erwin Garrett. In the case of the
State as. Leo Savoic, wherein defendant was
charged with the felonious killing of Samuel
Blanchard, the Grand Jury deemed the
homicide ,justifiable and returned the find
ing of ''not true bill" Indictments were
found in two or three murder cases the
titles of which we have not learned, and
several civil suits wherein trial by jury was
prayed for have been under consideration.
As iuries were drawn for four weeks, there
will be a fortnight left in which to dispose
of criminal matters, but as we have before
stated. we doubt if the Gustave Harris case
will be brought to a trial at this term. At
least one of the most material witnesses has
left the parish and gone to Texas, and it is
scarcely probable that his attendance can
be secured in season to proceed with the
trial this month Z. n. Pugh. ESQ, and
Judge R. n. Sims of the Ascension bar. have
been atte nding court in Assumption, being
employed as counsel in several important
cases.

The annual session of the Louisiana
Southern District Baptist Association. com
posed of the pastors ana representatives, Of
colored churches in most of the parishes of
the Third Congressional District, was held
at Rev. Osborn Dickerson's church, As
sumption parish, during the present week
and the proceedings were of character
more than usually important and interest
ing. number of visitors attended the
council and assisted in its deliberations.
among whom were Dr.. Traver, President
Leland University, Rev. Robt. S. Stuart,
rector of the Episcopal Church of Ascen-
sion, and DR.. S. L. Jamson of Donaldson
vile. One of the most weighty matters
that occupied the attention of the assembly
was that of encouraging the cause of educa-
ton by establishing a system of primary
schools as feeders for an academy or college
to be located at some advantageous point in
the district, the latter institution to be in its
turn an auxiliary 10 the Leland University.
The scheme is an admirable one and it will
reflect lasting honor and credit on the mem
bers of the Association if they carry it to a
successful conclusion.

At the monthly meeting of Phoenix Fire

the Hook and Ladder Company holds its

then proceed in concert to make arrange
ments for the annual tiremen's celebration

being without an engine, but this year tn e

its predecessors in brillancc may be antici-
pated.

SMALL Pox.-We learn from DR.. John ID.
Hanson. Health Officer, that there are three
cases of small rox in sDonaldsonviEle, the
patients and their places of residence being
as follows:
!. Wife of VIM Laney. eolored; St Pat
rick street. near the grave yard.
2. Child of Ned. Taylor, colored; st
Michael street, back of Blue Bucket Hall.
3. Female child of widow Adolphe Ian
dry, colored: Lessard street, near Blue
Bucket Hall.
The origin OF those cases, we understand,
is traced directly to those of the two child
rem brought here from New Orleans several
weeks ago. No new cases have appeared
for several days, and as the measures pre-
scribed by the ordinances of the Town
Council and Board of Health to suppress
the disease Are being strictly enforced, we
adhere to the opinion we have heretofore
expressed-and in which we believe the en-
tire medical faculty of the community coin
cide-tbat there is no good reason to fear an
epidemic of the disease. So far, all the
cases occurring in this town or vicinity, and
q largo majority of those in all the infected
localities of the State have been among the
colored people, who are. from various causes,
peculiarly subject to attack by small pox.
Our information is to the effect that the
parish, outside the town limits, is free from
the disease, and if ordinary care is exercised
to avoid infection the town will soon be
in similar condition. In none of the co,ln-
try places of Louisiana where the disease
has appeared this winter has it spread to
any serious extent, and there is no good
ground for supposing that DonaldsonyilIe
will prove an exception to the rule. At
Berwick there were nine cases at one time,
and at Whiteville, St. Landry parish, there
were over twenty, but in both localities the
progress of the epidemic was arrested and
the danger is considered at an end. Every
day CIR two we hear Of exaggerated rumors
circulating in the surrounding country with
reference to the number of cases of small
pox in Donaldsonville, and we again assure
the readers of the CHIEF that we shall
spare no effort to lay before them the true
state of affairs, without regard to the effect
of the publication. There are only three
cases here, and these are all in the south i
eastern corner of the town, away from any
of the streets upon which visitors from the
country or travellers landing from the steam
boats and trains enter the town.

Mr.. James D. Edwards of New Orleans
paid Donaldsonyille a flying visit this week
and was no doubt much pleased with the
appearance Of his branch shop, which has
been put in nice order by Mr.. Baumgartner
and is now ready for business. The latter
gentleman left for New Orleans last eve
ming and will return Monday night with a
force of workmep and stock of fittings and
other material, and operations will be at
once begun on several large orders for the
putting up of new and the repair of old
sugar-house machinery. Mr.. Edwards
secured several large contracts while here
and the season promises to be busy one,
both at the main establishment in New Or
leans and the branch in Donaldsonyille.
We hear that the Donaldsonvi!le shop will
probably be enlarged in the course Of few
months SO that Il moulding department can
be added and the scope Of work done here
materially extended.

The controversy over the possession and
control of the Catholic church lands and
revenues continues to arouse much feeling
and a climax is expected to be reached on
Easter Sunday when the annual sale of
pews usually takes place. The impression
seems to be that the Bishop Of the diocese is
determined to maintain the position as
sumed by Father Ccuppcns and to resist the
attempt Of the new corporation Of members
of the congregation to assume the manage
mcnt OF the temporal affairs of the Asce Il
sion Church. Mr. Jean Fcvrier, who has
been selected us President Of the new Board
of Warslens, has issued a call for un election
to be held on Sunday, the 1st Of April, at
St. Joseph's Academy, to choose Board of
WArdens to serve for the ensuing year.

haven't forgotten how yet. The young
men who appreciate the physical and mem
tai advantages of a little military discipline
and who feel an interest in the maintenance
of the Guards. ought to attend the drills

wards keeping up the efficiency and morale
of the command. There are three leading
reasons why they should do so: First, be-
cause of the benefit the exercise and disci
plnc confer upon their bodies aud minds ;
secondly, because Of the value to the COM
munity OF a trained military organization
ready to render prompt and effective SER
