st. Martinville, La, June b, 1875.
In the last Corporation Election. the
tickets which were selected by the two
factions were claimed to be non-pOliti-
cal, as they had chosen prominent busi-
ness men of the town. But the victOri-
Gus side proved all the contrary at their
first meeting on June 4th. The slate &C.
lected by the politicians at the head OF
that faction was carried out to the letter
by the majority of the council. The
writer had the pleasure of attending TO
their deliberations when in session and
saw the disappointments of the many
applicants who had had promises made
to them before the election for different
positions in this Corporation. One OF
two members of the council showed. by
their action in voting. no political favo-
ritism at all, but the others seemed to
be influenced by a political spirit. Since
six wears this corporation has been In
the hands of intelligent business cOun-
cilmen and has prospered by the result
and unless the population elects trustees
who can not be influenced by the poll
tic,ans the town will cease to prosper
as it creates disagreements amongst tn
business men themselves "Union make
strength" and unless this done the bust
ness of the town will suffer.

The sad news announcing the
death of Miss Rosela Voorhi es
daughter of Mr.. Alexis VOORHEES,,
of New Iberia, which reached 81
Martinville Thursday morning,
cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity.
This pretty young lady, who was
only sixteen years old, spent seve-
raj weeks in st. Martinville and
had returned to her home Just
three or four days before she fell
sick, and had made many friends,
who hoped for another visit here
soon, but Alas! who would think
that her return here would be In
a coffin. when three weeks ago
she was the picture of health, hop
inc for the bright future that
awaited her in this world; but that
grim monster, death, respects
neither young or old, and with
that horrible scythe, cut down
that hopeful young life of the
charming Miss Resela VOORHEES,
who was the soul, the idol of thu
family.
The funeral service was held a
New Iberia and the interremen
was made in the family tomb IL

The new Town Council held
their first meeting last Saturday,
and the politicians had to show
their cards.

Liable and Councilman Broussard
in the Council, in presenting the
name of T. Bienvenu as chief, or
if he was in earnest, his bosslsm
didn't go this time.
Mayor T. j. Liable is said to be
the candidate who will make the
fight for the Senate at the next
election. If they don't do with
him as they did with the ex-chief.
Hackett Thomas thought he was
entitled to some recognition for
his faithfulness to the crowd, and
thought the assistant police would
do for him, but he did not even
show as "figurant."
Winfield Thomas thought lie
held three Councilmen to vote for
him for assistant police, but we
believe Mayor Liable would see
him in hell before he would sub
NIT his name, so he Jared like
Hackett Thomas; but he could not
expect anything because he was
not of the "victors" and had nc
right to expect to get some of the
"spoils."

GOES IT ONE BETTER.

Washington, May 9.-A fitting trib- ute was paid by the senate to Commo- dre Dewey for the magnificent victory he achieved in the battle of Manila bay. The message from the president was received recommending that vote of thanks be extended by congress to Commodore Dewey and the gallant of ficers and men of his command.
 Without word of debate and with out a dissenting vote the senate agreed to a resolution carrying into effect the recommendation of the president. The senate went even farther than that. A bill was presented increasing the number of rear-admirals in the navy from six to seven in order that the president might nominate Commodore Dewey to the highest position in the navy within his gift and that, too' was passed without dissent.

 "Gentlemen: You have now reached the last point If any one of you does not mean business let him say so now. One hour from now it will be too late to back out If it is garrison duty you must attend to it. If it is meet ing the fever you must be willing. If it is the closest kind of fighting you must be anxious for it You must know how to ride, how to shoot, how to live in the open. Absolute obedi- ence to every command is your frsk lesson. No matter what comes you musn't squeal
 Think it over and if any man wishes to withdraw he will be gladly excused, for hundreds are ready to take his place"
 There was not blancned cheek or quailing eye in the crowd. Eager expectancy and anxiety for action was photographed in every face.

CAUGHT A FISHERMAN.
Nothing Was Heard Yesterday From
 the Blockading Fleet.

Key West, Fla, May 9.-The Spanish fishing smack Santiago Apostal was captured by the gunboat Mayhower off Havana yesterday and brought 1n by a prize crew this afternoon. She was bound from Yucatan for Havana with cargo of fish and crew of ten men. She was rounded up with one blank shot. This was the only incident of the day, which was largely devoted to the circulation of an alarm ing story of the sinking of American ships: off the Cuban coast.
 Up to nightfall nothing regard ing the blockading fleet had reached here. The story flourishing at that hour was that heavy firing had been heard off Havana. This was brought in by small boats and was as much in need of verifcation as the others

NOT IMMEDIATELY.
It Will Take Time to Got Ready to
 Invade Cuba

Tampa, Fla, May 9.-It is stated on the best of authority that no order for the embarkation of troops from Tampa has yet been received and that none is expected at present. While officials believed it probable that plan of campaign in Cuba has been decided upon already, no movement Of a large body of troops from here is possible for several days.
 It will take some time to prepare transports and moreover, nearly half the supplies necessary for the army of invasion have yet to be received. At the present rate of progress and talk ing into account the time necessary for the landing of troops, 1t is hardly possible that any movement can take place before the end of the week, If not later.
 Four guns of the same caliber as those already in the artillery camp at Porto Tampa arrived here today and were assigned to the various batteries at Porto Tampa, all of which are now equipped with their full complement of six, three and two-inch field guns.

DEWEY'S ORDERS.
The Instructions Upon Which He Gel

Washington, May 9.-It has been known for some time to a few people in administration circles and at the navy department that the order sent to Admiral Dewey, under which he made the attack on Manila, were re- markable for their terseness, concise ness and comprehensiveness. Eff forts to secure the text of the order have been unavailable until today.
 When the president referred in his message sent to congress relative to thanks to Dewey, it became proper to publish it as part of the record under which congress was to proceed. This is the text of the order:

He Proposes More Than Fitzsimmons
 Asks.

Rochester, N. Y., May Civilian A. Brady gave out this signed state ment today: James J.

 "As Fitzsi1nmons has announced that he will fight again 1t remains to be seen whether he will take on the man he has all along claimed to be so easy. He is positively assured of $25,000 in case he stands ten rounds in front of Corbett, and $45,OO0 in case he wins. This is the offer Corbett made Fitz- simmons last February, and he now stands by it, and I will accept Julian's bet of $2,500 that Corbett will be on hand on the day named. I will be in New York on Wednesday and will meet Fitzsimmons or his manager to deposit the money to make the match.

CATTLE TO BE NEEDED.
When the United States Expe;s the
 Spaniards From Cuba.

Washington, May 9.-The very mo- ment that Cuba is captured, the Span ish expelled and this government takes charge of things preparatory t0 the establishment of a stable and in- dependent government, there will be a good time for Texas cattle interests to bestir themselves. Everybody knows the supply of cattle in Cuba has been practically exhausted, and no state ia in such condition to supply that de ficiency as Texas. To have repre- sentatives of the cattle interests there promptly means a wonderful sale of stock and the shipment Of thousands of live cattle from Galveston. Such a trade once established means per manent one.
