The Ascension Rifles, numbering twenty.
eight men, rank and file, left for Baton
s5ouge at 7:3O O'Clock this morning on the
steamer Jesse x: Bell, to participate in the
review and paraas of the State militia
which take place ct the capital this after
noon. The Bell left New Orleans at 6 P. NJ.
yesterday but was detained by heavy fog,
hence the review has been postponed from
~ A. NJ. to P. M. As the boat approached
the Donaldsonville wharf a salute of five
guns was fred by a squad commanded bv
the veteran Lieut.. 81. Treble of the Can
noneers OF Donaldson, who accompan-
les the Rifles on their trip. The boys en-
parked IN excellent spirits, despite their
all-night wait for the steamer, and we feel
assured they will compare fayorably in ap-

The special election for member of Con-

Thursday was tame affair, a very light
vote being cast on both sides. It would
nave been extremely difficult under the
circumstances, for any Republican candi-

united party at his back, and the fact that
there were two Republicans in the field
made the triumph Of the Democratic nom.

The GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The biennial message which Gov. Mem
cry transmitted to the General Assembly
last week was very lengthy document and
the limited space of the GEIsr's columns
will allow of only the briefest synopsis 81
ts most salient feature S.
The Governor contends that, notwith-
standing the eomplaintsof her large con.
tingent of chronic GROWERS, Louisiana has
had much to be thankful for in the expert
ence Of the past two years. The health Of
the State has been excellent, the levees have
been in better condition than for quarter
of century previous and have been con-
structed at diminished cost, no oyerfiows
OF consequence have occurred, great pro-
gress has been shown in educational mat
tiers, the public credit has improved, the
valuation of taxable property has aug
mented from $177, O96, 400 in 1880 to $212,-
925,566 in 18e5-an increase of more than
twenty per cent-and peace and quiet have
prevailed within our borders.
He recommends slight increase of rev
enue to meet current expenses and obliga-
ton, and suggests that it be mainly de-
rived from better graded license system.
A State Board of Equalization, to which
much opposition has been heretofore made,
is now universally recognized as a neces-
sity, in the opinion of the Executive.
The creation of Railroad Commission
and legislation regulating charges for
freight and passenger traffic are recon-
mended. An Insurance Commission
should also be formed, to protect the peo-
pie from dishonesty and fraud in this line
of business.
A constitutional amendment is favored
which will enable parishes and school dis
tricts to levy special taxes for educational
purposes and permit. the election Of a
board of school directors for each ward.
The Governor advocates the abolition of
the Grand Jury system, the ,yesting of the
power to pardon criminals in the Execu-
ton alone, and the infection of the death
penalty by some less revolving and cruel
method than hanging.

at several points en- route and facing a

IMPROVEMENT OF THE L. & P.-We are
glad to note movement on the part of the
officers of the Texas and Pacific railway
to improve the condition of that sadly neg
lected road and afford the public better |
facilities for safe and speedy travel. From |
and after tomorrow, the 23rd inst. the |
Baton Rouge accommodation train, which |
was suspended some time ago, will resume |
its daily trips, leaving New Orleans at 7:45 |
A. NJ, and returning at 7:15 P. NJ. In the |
course of three or four days all order will !
be given by the postal authorities for the |
of mail by this train, and we
shall then receive city papers and other
mail matter from New Orleans early in |
the day, as we used to do.
The receipt of $50 tons of steel rails yes
terday and the announcement of a contract
with the Plaquemine Lumber e. Shingle |
Company to furnish over 1900 600 feet of
timber and lumber to be used In repairing
the road indicate that the long promised
work of improvement is to be prosecuted in
real earnest.

PHOENIX REDIyWUS.

Z Z
Phoenix Fire Company, from all indica-
tions, is about to enjoy another boom. We
hear that a number of the old members,
who have withdrawn from tins to time,
during the past few years, have decided to
apply for readmission, reinforced by sew
eral new applicants. This will infnse fresh
life and vigor into the company, resulting
no doubt in the retention Of the beautiful
steam engine and the rehabilitation of the
financial and other affairs Of the organiza-
ton. With proper effort we are sure old
Phoenix can be replaced on solid founda-
ton, and that the citizens and official au-
thorities of our town and parish will lend
their assistance to the good work.
We have enjoyed long immunity from
fire, but we should not be lulied into
sense of false security by this good for
tune, lest the treacherous fire iend spring
upon Us unawares and we arouse from our
lethargy to find ourselves the easy victims
Of disastrous confagration.
Donaldsonville is quite we'll furnished
with apparatus for extinguishing fire, but
her water supply is sadly deficient, although
the Father of Waters flows past her door
ways in majestic volume. The reformation
of this anomalous and dangerous condition
of affairs is subject that may we'll engage
the earnest attention and labors Of our peo-
pie.
Apropos of the foregoing-which was in
tended for publication last week-it will be
seen by an advertisement in another col
una that meeting of committee of
prominent citizens appointed in 1882 has
been called for next Wednesday evening,
at Phoenix Hall, to devise means for help
ing the Phoenix Company out of its fnan-
cial strait. The movement will probably
take the shape Of a grand Fourth of July
festival, and as many of the leading ladies
of the community, including those of the
Ladies' Aid Association, have already
promised their active cooperation, there is
no doubt that, With proper preparation and
such an affair could be made
q complete success in every particular.
