A PLEA FOR FREE SCHOOLS.

"A foroible and practical essay on the sub
ject of free public schools is printed on the
first page of to-day's CHIEF and we COM
mend it to the attention of all who feel an
interest in the important question of edu-
eating the masses. The article is from the
pen of Prof. Edwin W. Fay, M. A., of Gin
ton, who is, we believe, son of our present
Superintendent of Public Education, and
evinces degree of thought and research
that attests the authors earnest concern
in the topic he SO ably discusses. The ne
cessity of raising the moral standard of the
people by education is recognized by all
reflective minds, and this necessity is felt
with excessive force in the Southern States,
where much larger proportion of the pop
ulation is iiliterate than in any other sec
ton Of the country. Mr.. Fay argues strong
ly in favor of the justice and equity of the
school tax, showing that those who pay it
and. who may claim that they receive
no return for the outlay because they
do not participate directly in its results,
are IN reality compensated by the enlight-
eminent and consequent moral elevation of
the communities in which they live.
We regret that several typographical and
Pathological errors that escaped the notice
of our proof reader somewhat mar the SYM
metry of the essay, but these little defects
can not obscure the merit of the production
nor weaken the force of it's plea in favor
Of the free public school system.

HON. B. E. FLANDERS.

Hon. Benjamin T. Flanders, the Repub-
lican nominee for Superintendent of Pub
lie Education, is native Of New York and
a graduate of Bowdoin College. He has
lived in this State forty years and has held
the positions of Mayor of New Orleans,
Military Governor of Louisiana end Assist
ant United States Treasurer at New Or
leans, in all of which he maintained rec
ord Of marked efficiency and unimpeacha-
BILE integrity. AS Assistant Treasurer he
handled millions of dollars of the public
money, and when he retired from the Office
isaccounts were model Of correctness and
the funds on hand correspondent Herewith
to penny. The people would honor them
selves no less than Mr.. Flanders by elect
ing him to the Office for which he has been
placed in nomination, but we fear that the
followers of the dominant party in this
State are still too firmly welded to their
Democratic idols to recognize Or reward
the merit of any man, however worthy,
who does not agree with them in political
opinion.

Saturday, April 10, 1884:

The printing of nearly 10000 election
tickets for Assumption, st. James and AS
cension parishes, added to the active per-
sonal participation in the campaign which
the editor of the CHIEF, as candidate for
Clerk, has been compelled to take, have
combined to delay the issuance of this edi-
ton of our paper several days. We trust
our readers will consider the circumstances
and kindly pardon our hardness. We
might give the result of "next" TUESDAYS
election in this issue, but as another num-
Der OF the CHIEF will follow closely upon
the heels of this one we prefer to relate the
melancholy tale in the later edition.

Married.

COOK-DEHON-At the residence of the
groom's parents n the parish dsi, Of Ascension
| La, on Thursday, April IL, 1884, Mr.. THoS. w
Cook to MISS EMslA DEHoN. both residents OF
this parish.
We had the pleasure of being one OF
! the goodly number of guests who assembled
at the handsome Cook residence, in Smoke
Bend, last Thursday afternoon, to witness
this marriage and to participate in the fes-
tivities incident to the suspicious occasion:
The ceremony that united the young couple
was performed in an impressive manner by
Father Ceuppens. according to the Cath
oiic ritual, and at its conclusion the bride
and groom were most heartily congratulated
by the relatives and friends in attendance.
The bride was richly arrayed in dress of
| wine-colored satin, which formed a pleas
ing contrast with the wreath of orange
blossoms enc1rcling her head, and we VEN
ture to say that more than one of the young
men present enyied the good fortune of the
manly groom in capturing such capital
prize in the lottery of matrimony. Miss
Frances Goette of Donaldsonville, charm
ing blonde, acted as bridesmaid, attended
by Mr.. Louis Dehon, the brides brother.
A long table was spread in the spacious
hall and the bridal party and their guests
sat down to a sumptuous dinner, which was
most thoroughly enjoyed. The menu COM
prised an abundance Of substantials and
delicacies of the season, and the cooking
did highest credit to the culinary abilities
of the groom's estimables mother and sis
ter-in-law. Mrs. Henry Cook, ST., and Mrs
Henry Cook, Jr., under whose superintend-
ance the repast was prepared and served.
The affair was very pleasant one through
out and will be long remembered by all who
were SO fortunate as to be present. We SIN
cerely congratulate our esteemed friend |
Tom and his beautiful bride upon their |
happy union, and wish for them the choicest |
blessings that can flow from the Joining |
together of
Two souls but with a single thought,
Two hearts that beat one.
We append a list of the presents received
by the young couple from their friends.
and take pleasure in acceding to the re-
quest of the recipients that their grateful
and thanks be returned
through the CHEZ:

CoRoNER's INoUEsT.-On Wednesday last
Coroner Duffel was summoned to hold an
inquest on the body of an unknown mu-
iatto which was found floating in Bayou
Lafourche opposite the houseIof Henry
Jones. The jury came to the conclusion
that the man had fallen into the water ac-
cidentally, as his body bore no wounds or
marks OF violence. He was apparently 90
years of age, was we'll dressed, wearing
black pants and coat, red flannel under
shirt, colored top shirt and a good pair of
shoes. In his pockets were found a gimlet,
few wooden pegs, a pipe and some to-
bacco. From all appearances the corpse
had been in the water ten or twelve DAYS.
