DIVIDED co1lNcU,s.


Congressman Gay, st. Martin and Irion
of this State emphaticaily deny the report
that they have promised to support the
Morrison tariff bill in pursuance of an
agreement that no further attempt shall be
made by the revenue reformers to reduce
the dnties on sugar. They announce their
concurrence with the sensible policy de.
clared by the Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association that, in order to secure protec-
ton for sugar, the representatives of that
interest must form an alliance with other
protected interests, and endeavor to pro-
mote their common welfare by concert of
action in opposition to the supporters of
the Morrison scheme.
Messrs. Blanchard and King, who happen
to represent districts where very little sugar
Or rico are produced, are counted upon to
vote for the Morrison bill, but we hope this
expectation will be disappointed. The simple
fact that their immediate constituents are
not engaged in the culture of rice or sugar
cane does not justify these gentlemen in
aiding an assault upon industries so vital
ly important to the general welfare of the
State, and it would be matter for severe
apprehension and sincere regret should they
allow themselves to adopt a course of action
SO narrow and selfish.

INSTRUCTION TO TEACHERS.
AT the instance Of the Board Of School
Directors of this parish Miss Mary 3.
Washington. a graduate Of the State Nor
NAL School at Natchitocbeg, has come to
DonaldsonVille and will meet the public
school teachers OF Ascension every Satnr-
day morning, at Ascension Academy. for
the purpose of giving them instruction in
the advanced methods of teaching which
are sought to be introduced in all the pub
begin at 10 o'clock a. NJ, and Parish Super
intendent Gondran publishes notice to the
teachers of the parish that they are reqired
to be in attendance. Teachers of private
schools, teachers from the adjoining par
ishes, and all others who feel an interest in
the work, are cordially invited to be pres
ent.
A session of the State Normal School will
be held at Donaldsonville during the week
beginning Monday, May 81, under the direc-
ton of Prof. e. E. shieb, principal of that
institution, and preparations are being
made for large attendance of teachers
from the neighboring parishes. Our hotel
keepers will entertain them at reduced rates
and those who prefer it can secure accom-
mediation in private families. As DR.. Mayo
truly said in his recent lecture at this place,
there has been great modern progress in
educational methods as in every other
branch of industry and science, and if we
are to have good schools and keep pace with
the advancement of our sister States, we
must employ these improved methods, and
have them applied by skilled teachers.

IMPORTANT SUITS COMPROMISED.

IMPORTANT SUITS COMPROMISED.
In the United States Circuit Court at New
Orleans the case of Friedman Bros. Us. Mrs
NJ. Israel Il Co.. in liquidation, was called
for trial Oh Wednesday and a jury empan-
elled. The following day, however an
agreement to compromise was effected, the
jury discharged and the case continued in
definitely. We are not authoritatively in
formed as to the basis of the proposed COM
promise, but the report is that plaintiff S
claim is to be settled at the rate of twenty-
five cents on the dollar, defendants paying
costs of court. 1t is understood that this
agreement also covers the cases of G. H.
Garden & Co., and the Hamilton Brown
Shoe Co, against the same defendants.
If We mistake not, the settlement of these
suits will leave only one case pending
against the late firm of Israel & Co.,-that
of Mr.. w. Fl. Balsby, who sues to recover
the price of corn furnished the Salisbury
plantation. 1t is probable, however, that
this case will also be settled by compromise

libel by the same Grand Jury that found a
true bill against Editor Bigney of the City
Item, were tried in Judge Bakers court on

after the testimony Of several witnesses
had been adduced, and the jury returned
verdict of not guilty without leaving their
seals. The alleged libel consisted in the

DEATH lE M. E RIGMEY

Mark Frederick Bigney, editor of the New
| Orleans City Item, died in that city on Fri
day, April 30, at P. NJ, of Bright's disease,
and his remains were laid to rest to-day in
the Glrod street cemetery. Mr.. Bigney
| was native of Nova Scotia, 60 years of
age. He emigrated to New Orleans some
forty years ago and engaged in literary
pursuits as editor of the Jefferson Lire Oak,
subsequently serving on the STATS of the
Crescent, True Degta, Mirror. Picayane,
Times and Republican. In 1877 the City
Item was established, with Mr.. Bigney as
editor-ln-c chief, position he continued to
hold until his death.
In addition to his we'll known abilities as
prose writer of great force and elegance,
he possessed poetical talent of a high order
and contributed many gems to the polite
literature of the day. In 1867 he coilated
and published small volume of his poems,
and those he has written since would make
another volume quite as large. His inter
est in all affairs that pertained to the we'll
being of the city and State in which he lived
was of the deepest character, and few pens
have done greater Or better work than his
in the public service. -w.v
Mr.. Bigney had been twice married. His
first wife, who died about two years ago.
was an Alexander of Alexandria, Virginia,
maternal grandmother of Mrs. Bentley of
the CHIEF. His second was Miss Marcella
Curiey, to whom he was married only about
three months ago, and who survives him.
Besides widow, he leaves young adopted
daughter to mourn his loss. and to these
bereaved ones the profound sympathy of a
large circle Of friends as well as the public
in general will be extended.
ANOTHER PosrPoaEMENT.-Thec continued
illness of several of the young people who
are to take part in the stage performances
has compelled the Ladies' Aid Association
to announce & second postponement of
their approaching entertainm The
dates now finally decided upon are Wednes-
day and Thursday, the 18th and 18th of
May, and 1t is not deemed probable that
any further delay will be incurred. AS we
have before stated, the plays of ssThe Sleep
ing Beauty and = Alice in Wonderland y
Will be presented by the pupils of Ascen-
sion Academy, under the direction of Prof
L.. G. Ferrell, and there will be other
attractions for the amusement and en-
erttalnment OF the public, includ-
ing a dance after each evenings per-
fofmance. The supper room will be we'll
supplied with materials for the cheap and
satisfactory refreshment of those who hun
er or thirst, and few of our readers need be
told that the ladies of the Aid Association
excel IN the management of this depart
ment. The price of admission to each
evenings entertainment will be fifty cents.
and the proceeds will be placed in the COT
fers of the Association, which have been
e oietea in tbs noble cause of charity.

good order in the first and second wards
but in ''the bloody third" three or four spar

rious disturbance, however, and the result
as indicated BY the figures given below may
be regarded about as fair an expression of
popular will as can be secured under exist

the ticket headed by Mr.. Pugh achieved a
sweeping victory, every candidate on it be-
ing elected and nearly all of them by large
maiorities.
