The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1886-06-19


General Assembly from st. Landry, called
npon IA Sunday before last in company
with his friend DR.. ]. 4. Richard, former
resident of Mr.. Arnaud's parish whom he
had stopped over to see en- route to Baton
Rouge to resume legislative duties after
brief trip home. The few moments spent
in Mr.. Arnaud's presence gave Us the i'm
preston that he is genial, typical Creole
gentleman, Just such one as would natur-
ally be selected out Of compliment to the
large Creole element Of st. Landry popu-
lation in making up ticket calculated to
win the favor Of the various classes Of the
people. After spending some hours pleas
emily with DR.. Richard Mr.. Arnaud de-
parted for the Capital by the evening train
on the Mississippi Valley railroad. He ex-
pressed himself much pleased with the APP
pearance Of Donaldsonville. and we hope he
wasn't joking IS he was when he wrote to
the St. Landry Democrat that he had been
offered $4,000 for his vote in the General
Assembly and wanted the advice of his
friends whether to accept or reject the
proposition. The letter created quite a
breeze in the House until the author ex-
planned that it was joke, concocted with
some of bis friends before he left home,
and then it was dismissed with laugh.
The Washington Argus is not disposed to
treat it SO lightly, however, and argues with
great solemnity and earnestness that Rep
resentative Arnaud is either knave, an
idiot or lunatic. We surmise that the leg
islator, good humored as he is, will not be
accommodating enough to mount either OF
the three sharp horns of this uncomfortable
dilemma, and we shall not be surprised if
he. files very peremptory exception to the
reasoning of our sober-sided contemporary.

No more eloquent tribute could be paid

contained in recent dispatch sent by

tional League, to Mr.. Parnell, the distin-
Rished leader of the Home Rule party in
the British Parliament:
Not q single Irishman was among the Anar-
chists at Chicago, while most of those who fell
defending public order were of our nationality.
