In this period Of railroad wrangl-
ing and contention, it is little sur
prising that any one road is lett
alone. The fact that 1t is thus left
alone is perhaps the best recommen.
dation that can be made for 1t. I'm.
like it's powerful ally, the completion
of q competing line has left its popu.
larity undiminished, and there has
been manifested no disposition
whatever to alter the rates or tariff
that have been in force for years,
the D. & r. g. being Satisfied to &C.
cept the same to competing points.
The road has pursued the even
tenor of Its way for years, and while
many have been proneSto find fault
with the Pioneer line, and complain
Of it as of others, yet the
events of the last half year have
served rather to place this road
in a more favorable light than to
expose it to assaults callsd out by
abuses which it could have practised
when 1t was all-powerful in Utah.
OF course, it has its friends and its
opponents, but on the principle that
we should judge Of the goodness of
any person by the evil he had the
power to do and restrained from
doing rather than by the good he
actually accomplished, the record
Of the Utah Central in its legitimate
railroad business will stand scrutiny
and come to the front the better for
the investigation. The Utah Central
was a great blessing to Utah and
always has been; and it has been
one OF those blessings which have
not been put to improper uses, and
made power for oppression as have
other roads. 1t has made money +;
that was proper, for 80 laudable an
enterprise and undertaking should
be well rewarded, and 1t should con-
tinue to pay an honest dividend,
and doubtless will. Its employe es
are kind, courteous and obliging.

UNBELIEF.

There ia no upbelief;
Whoever plants seed beneath the sod
And waits to see j. push away the clod,
he trusts In God.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the
sky,
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by
and by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters field OF
snow,
The silent harvest OF the future grow.
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber
deep.
Knowa God will keep.
Whoever says, Tomorrow" The
Unknown"
'The Future" trusts that Power alone
He dsres disown.
The heart that looks on when the eye
lids close,
And dsres to live when life hss only
woes,
Gods comfort knows.
And day by day, and night uneonsciously
The heart lives by that fsith the lipi
deny
God knoweth why!

THE GULLOM BILL DISCUSSION.

The new Senator from Illinois be-
gins to seek the bubble reputation
by aiming the thunder of his elo-
quence on the Capitol hill at san
ecclesiastical despotism" that he
says exists In Utah, and that Con.
gress ought to abolish.
The Senator's idea is that the local
government Of Utah is an clesi-
astical despStism. But the local
government of that province has
been constituted by and act of Con.
gress. Its executive is a party of
the name OF Murray, who has been
appointed by the President, with
the advice and consent OF the Sen :
ate. Its judicature is composed Of
judges, alsO appointed by the Presi-
dent with the advice and consent of
the Senate. All the functionaries
of its administration are persons
that have been appoil ted either by
the President or by the Presidents
appointees. Is it possible that these
c0mpOnents Of the local government
Of Utah are Gan ecclesiastical dss-
potism?" The Senator 60 asserts.
And because this government Of
U tab, created by act of Congress,
composed Of the Presidents ap-
pointees, is an ecclesiastical des-
posism, that Sought not to be al
lowed to exist In this county," the
Senator proposes to abolish, not that
government, but the provincial
legislature, and vest the local legis-
lative office in some other appoip-
tees of the President.
The greater part of the Senator's
speech was waste of words to prove
what nobody but the Senator from
Georgia (Mr. Joseph E. BROWN has
denied-nameIy, that the PROPOSE
ton to abolish the provincial elective
legislature Is constitutional. Even
the Senator from Georgia had not
asserted its unoonstitutiOnality until
the Senator from Illinois had made
q speech to show its constitution.
atty!
After the great debate between
the Senator from Illinois and the
Senator from Georgia on the great
constitutional question, the Sen
ator from Arkansas (Mr. Gar.
land) dropped a few remarks that
condensed the subieot.matter
into the very small nut;
shell that easily contains
it. He has always thought
the Edmunds legislative pres.
cription for the Utah polygamy
distemper was like prescribing q
corn plaster to cure consumption.
He abstained from expressing like
opinion of prescription advocated so
periodically by the Senator from
IllinOis-which may be compared to
q prescription of st. Jacobs oil to
cure a chronic case of moral deprav.
| ity-but he closed out the fright
fully constitutional Senator from
Georgia by remarking that the pro.
position has been judicially settled
that people cannot shelter them
selves from the consequences OF
crime by pleading the tenets of
their religion.
By the laws Of Utah, polygamy is
a crime. Why don't the govern
ment Of Utah punish the Ierfons
who commit that crime? This Is
all there Is in the Utah question.
All the legislative corn pIasters that
great Statement can bring in as
foundations for displays of constitu-
tional eloquence can not inject any
| thing more into it.-ChicapO Times,

AsOENsION's EXPOSITION Asso.
CITATION.

A special session of the Police Juryof AS
cension was held on the 18th inst, for the
purpose of taking steps for the formation OF
an auxiliary parochial Exposition Associa-
ton IN accordance with the request of Gov.
McEnery and the plan suggested by the
President and Board Of Managers OF the
Worlds Exposition. AS will be seen from
the authentic report of the proceedings
published elsewhere in this issue of the
CHIEF, thirty-tWo gentlemen--four from
each Police Jury ward-were selected as
members of the Ascension Parish Worlds
Exposition Association and Mr.. Jos. M,
keating, are of our most energetic
young citizens, was recommended for ap-
pointment by the Governor as Commits
sioner from this parish in the Louisiana
State Commission which is to be- charged
with the duty of arranging for and man
aging the proposed special exhibit to be
made by the State under the same rules
and regulations that govern other exhibi-
tors.
The gentlemen named as members of the
parochial association are all prominent
residents OF the respective sand it is
reasonable to suppose that, under their di-
rection, the contemplated objects of the Or
ganization will be accomplished in a highly
satisfactory manner. They have been called
upon to assemble at the Police Jury rooms
next Friday, the 21st inst, for the purpose
of organizing. Mr.. Heating has already
received his commission from the Gov
ernor, and within very short time we may
assume that the work of preparing for
creditable representation of the products
of our parish in the coming Exposition
will be actively under way.
Perhaps it may facilitate the Ascension
association in the prosecution of its i'm
portant labors to adopt plan similar to
that being followed in East Feliciana. This
is to allot to the members from each ward
respectively the task of securing represen-
tation ofspecifed articles, the distribution
being as follows:
First Ward-Cotton, wool and moss.
Second Ward-Farious timbers.
Third Ward-Grains and other field
products.
Fourth Ward-Live stock.
Fifth Ward-Floral specimens and OK
hibits of the different soils.
Sixth Ward-Grasses.
Seventh and Eighth Wards-Fruits and
garden products.

One Thousand Acres of Land and "Right

On the deck Of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by
a sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over. he said to a passenger from the
North: When was IL years old killed my

then cutting out of forest that grew directly
over the waters Of this bend. That was a
mighty good plantation, and there was right
smart OF bears there, too, But that one thou

years ago.

A piece of phosphorescent limestone
from Utah was recently exhibited to the
Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences
by Prof. Fl. G. Lewis. It emitted lurid
red light when struck, scratched or heated.
On seeking other specimens of limestone
having such properties it was found that
some from India gave a strong yellow
glow when heated, but yielded no such
effect when scratched or struck. These
two limestones have the same external
Characters, which are different from those
Of other imestones-a fact which is. of
great interest, as it confirms Becqueret's
view that phosphoresence depends upon
physical rather than chemical conditions.

AZ years. He had resided in Onachita par

as a man Of high character and distin-

of the Bulletin, have furnished abundant
evidence of the fact that he was one of the
most forcible writer's in Louisiana, and his
loss will be generally regretted among the
brethren of the fourth estate.

RIVER AND LEYEEs.-The river has con
tinued rising during the past week and yes
terday it had almost reached the high waite,
mark of last year, but last night decline
set in and by this evening the gauges al
the wharf and the ferry landing showed g
fall of 81 inches. The sudden change was
deemed sure indication of large crevasse
at some point above, and this supposition
has been verified by the receipt of news to
the effect that the Grand or Morganza levee
has again given way. The break is a bad
one and there is no hope of closing it. A
large section of country that has been over
flowed every season since 1874 will be
again Hooded by this crevasse, but the
strain upon all the levees below Morganza
will be materially reduced, thus lessening
the danger of breaks at other points.
The Davis crevasse is not yet closed, but
the work is progressing favorably and will
probably be brought to successful termi-
nation in few days. The flow of water
| through the break has been considerably
diminished and trains are again running
on the Morgan railroad. Travel is still i'm
peded on the Texas Pacific, and the accom-
mediation train has been discontinued for
time, but the other continues its daily
runs, connecting with the transfer boat
Gouldsboro at point just above the cre-
vase.
Last Saturday morning crevasse took
place on the right bank of Bayou La
fourche, near the lower line Of the Richard
Gauthreaux place, four miles below Napo-
leonville. The break was caused by crav-
nsh holes, and at last accounts it was about
nifty feet wide. An order for lumber and
other material was sent to the city and the
people of the vicinity proposed to go heart
lily to work and close the gap.
At several points in this parish weak
places in the leEees have developed during
the past ten days, but by prompt action on
the part OF the planters and the parochial
the danger of breaks has been
averted IN each instance, and with similar
'lgllance during the remainder of the Pc
'lod OF high water we may confidently hone
o escape damage by overflow.
break was threatened at the Bocaga
',aoe yesterday, but the Messrs. Kelly Bros.
= once placed force of their iaborers at ;
