Local PoLITIes.-As the election is oyer

with meeting at the Donaldsonville Mar
ket-house on Sunday, opening at 1 O'Clock r.
n. The principal speakers were ex-Gov.
Francis I. Nichols, Judge e. D. White and
j. Ross Stewart. Gov. Nichols made more
of familiar talk than set speech, but the
universal esteem in which he is held in AS
cension secured him the close attention of
the audience. Judge White is fine orator
and his address was much admired. There
was considerable confusion during the time
the other speakers were on the stand, partic-
ularly on the outskirts of the crowd where
several quarrels and one OF two fights took
place, and couple of runaway teams
increased the turmoil SO that only the people
close to the stand got the benefit Of the
weighty arguments of the small fry orators.
The meeting was presided over by Frederick
Duffel, Esq, chairman of the Democratic
parish committee.
Gov. Nichols and Judge White reached
here on the steamer Natchez Saturday
night and were received at the wharf by
quite large and enthusiastic crowd of
white and colored citizens, who formed a
procession and escorted the visitors to the
residence of E. N. Pugh, Esq, the ex-Gov-
ernor's nephew, where they were enter
tanned during their brief stay in our town.
A procession.was formed, headed by the ST.
Joseph Brass Band and number of torch
bearers, and the visiting speakers rode in
Mrs Pugh's carriage, several of the more
enthusiastic colored supporters of Mr.. Gay
doing duty instead of horses and drawing
the vehicle through the streets. Gov. Mich
oils and Judge White remained here until
Sunday afternoon, when they returned to
thecity on the r. and P. railroad.
