Parish Court has beta in session this week, but the minutes were handed us too late for insertion. They wvill appear in next issue. The weather has been generally ] beautiful this week. A disagreeable! spell seemed to have set in Wednes day, but it lasted only that day. Proceedings of a meeting of the Parish School Board held last Monday will be found in this issue. A list of a the teachers employed for the parish % schools is given. We have again to return thanks to Conductor Bayley for favors received. Mr. Bayley evidently understands the value of late newspapers to the editor as well as if he had been a knight of the quill himself. The Town Collector gives notice to the tax payers of the Corporation that they must come forward within twenty days from date and settle their d tax dues, or incur the penalties of the 1i law. See the advertisement. Thurday was the anniversary of f Washington's birth, and the discharge of a cannon at frequent intervals dur ing the day satisfied us that there ae were some persons at least who had I not forgotten the great Father of his h Country, sad who revere his memory tt as all patriotic Americans should dq. ti Among the battalion of distinguish ed visitors whom Judge Mason marched into oar offiee Thursday was one gentleman evidently familiar to some extent with the printing busi ness, for immediately upon his en trance he seized a "stick" and "set up" the following mysterious line, which we give to our readers to solve: Lhe iime has for us to go Donkey to We have puzzled over the line some time without coming to a full under standing of its meaning, but probably some one of our readers may be more fortunate. There was evidently com menced in it a reference to the Leader man, but it is not continued far enough to give one any under standing of its nature. It was a pleasant surprise to have our office invaded last Thursday by the Railroad Committee of the House of Representatives and quite a num ber of their friends, who had taken ad vantage of a day upon which no ses sion was held to enjoy a ride upon the new railroad and a visit to our flourishing little burgh of Donaldson ville. Among other familiar faces was the genial one of Capt. R. W. Francis, of the Terrebonne Patriot. whose hand we were glad to grasp. The honorable gentlemen of the corn mittee and their companions were shown around the town by Judge Mason, and they must have enjoyed their visit, for the iron horse at tlh depot manifested his impatience at their tardy return by numerous toot. ings of his whistle. We give them thauks for the crompliment of their call at our office, and hope they re turned to New Qrleans with a favoi able opinion of Donaldsonville and its surroundings. The railroad company has awarded a contract for the construction of an iron bridge across Bayou Lafourche at the foot of Houmas street to some bridge-building association, and the iron material necessary for the struc ture is being cast at aChtcinnatifoun dry. The bridge is to be completed by the middle of 4uly, after which the railroad will be immediately extended to a point some fourteen miles abo'e this town,. a Governor Hebert's place Here it is e obable operations will bx again sus, ended for an indefinite length of t, ne, and perhaps the orig inal plan o the road may be entirely :abandoned and instead of running across the stamp country to Vermil ,onville it -ill be extended along near the river asr1 made a purely local road. Whatever lay be the final arrange ment, we a e glad to see preparations being mad for the present extension of the road DAN RIc 's CIacUS COMING.-That prince of Imerican showmen, Dan Rice, whog name is a household word in every S ste of the Union, and the fame of wl >se mammoth exhibitions reaches cl. tr round the world, will enter this t 'wn Tuesday next at the head of on of the best companies of arenic tal nt that has ever been gathered tc ;ether in this or any other country. 'he performances of this company a e described as most pleas ing and v nderful, and attracted in New Orlea s larger crowds of people than had e er assembled under a cir cus tent in hat city previously. Ac robatic, g3 nnastic and trapeze per formances if the most startling char acter, dari g feats of horsemanship, the exhibi ion of beautiful trained animals, in luding the inevitable trick mules, and nany other attractions will combine to astonish and delight the large nmiml !r of people whom we can not doubt vill assemble, under Dan Rice's circi i tent next Tuesday after noon and rening. The great show man is son what unfortunate in ar riving at o r town during the Lenten season, as he strict Catholic element will be de arred from attending his arenic exh iition, but in spite of this, we predict that his magic name will attract to ,ther people of all other sects, grad s and nationalities for ten miles arou d in large numbers, and that the ea i.bitions in Donaldsonville will prove remunerative. ST. AMES ITEMS. The rep ir of the levees is progress ing finely, nd the all-important wrork is nearly c mpleted. Mr. V. E.M. An derson ha done the largest share of levee-buil ing in St. James, and de serves mu praise for the prompt and workmanli :e manner in which he has fulfilled hi contracts. On the 1 th instant Constable Jo seph Wier ttempted to arrest Jules Dickinson ipon a charge of beating his wife, b t Jules refused to submit to the maj sty of the law, and made tracks for nknown parts to avoid its clutches. e is not anxious to obtain his rights efore the law at all. John W rren made affidavit before Justice A m Travis against Petizia, wife of J es Morgan, charging. her with con itting assault and bpattery with a sti upon Clementine Warren, wife of co plainant. Up to latest ac counts acs sed had not been arrested, but the b odhounds of the law were upon her rack. In justi e to the distinguished indi vidual wi once represented himself in the S e Senate, having been elect ed by the well-meaning but sadly, im posed upc people of this district--we refer to n. Joseph Wittgenstein--we state tha he has informed us that the rumor wi ich circulated pretty freely and foun a place in our columns Rome time ago n regard to his appointment as chief erk of Mr. Bovee's mackerel store, wa erroneous, as he never oc cupied ti it responsible position, con tenting 1 mself with walking the low er paths of life and not soaring be yond his ntellect. We had the more confident s in the rumor at the tinge of its circu tion from the fact of jacing seen the istinguished person behind the cou ter of the famous mackerel store wi his coat off, but as we be lieve mt 7icine was also kept for sale at the tablishment, we have since thought hat he might have -been put there to nake people sick. Nor JACKAss.-The Ascension Leader, vith a strange contradiction of terms delivers upon our devoted head th. following stunning blow: "The eost artless and artful art cri tic aextr t-The Governor's gossoon who eng neers the Iberville Newse. This arful Nemesis of the Cust4m House i ess dooms us to journalistic destruc on because, forsooth, we mildly iggested that Weber's picture of a jac ass bore a marvelous resem blance the nominal editor of the Leader. We sincerely trust the dread ful ire the real editor will be ap peased then he knows that we would not wr st from his Jove-like broe a single aurel gained as hireling scribbe . We know he is not a jack ass, but rather a Dugald Dalgetty who, on the' attle-field of life, would shiv er a an ae in any cause and gather the spoils z-o friend or foe.--bervidle Charges Against the ex-Secre tary of State. On Friday of last week Governor Warmoth sent the following commu nication to the House of Representa tives: STATE OF LomsIANA, Executive Department, New Orleans, February 16, 1872. To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives: I find it incumbent on me to lay be fore your honorable body grave charges against George E. Bovee, Secretary of State. These charges are five in number, and are as follows: First-That the said Bovee, Secre tary of State, did promulgate as a law a pretended copy of an act entitled " An act to incorporate the Crescent City Water Works Company; to de fine its rights and duties; to punish offenses committed against the fran chises of said company and the pub lic health," notwithstanding the fact that the said Bovee had been official ly informed and well knew said act had not become a law in any of the modes pointed out by the constitution. In support of this charge I submit herewith the printed proceedings in the suit styled " The State of Louis iana vs. F. J. Herron," No. 3556 on the docket of the Eighth District Court for the parish of Orleans. You will perceive from the testimony received in said suit that the act in question was not presented to me until Febru ary 27, 1871, three days before the adjournment of the General Assem bly. It is claimed on the part of Bovee that the bill was left at my residence on Saturday evening, February 25. Without entering into the question whether such presentation was regu lar and legal, it appears from the tes timony of Bovee's own witnesses that it was past 11 P. M. on the twenty fifth when the messenger bearing the bill arrived at my residence. The General Assembly adjourned March 2 1871, at 10:30 P. M., as appears by certified minutes thereof. Futher mre, I addressed the Secretary of State a note, in which 1 informed him ofrthe facts. 'otwithstanding all this, Bovee p ceeded to promulgate an incorrect antd spurious copy of the act in ques tiQn as a law, in utter contempt of the co.stitution and in direct violation of hi, official duty. It is difficult to see ho.v the conduct of the Secretary of State in this connection can be ac cofynted for on any hypothesis than that of wilful and corrupt malfeasance in the office. tecond-I charge the said Bovee w4ih having sold books belonging to th.ý State, and appropriated the pro eedds to his own use. ''hird-That the said Bovee has sold and retained the proceeds of numerous copies of Walker's Digest of khe Decisions of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, which were purchased hbyjhe State purely for the purpose of bnyuitous distribution among its offi cia's. "'ourth-That the said Bovee has inifappropriated a bond of the State of the denomination of $500, and the intrest coupons to the same attached, wlfich was, with others sent to his of tic& to be sealed and countersigned, as equired-by the law providing for their issue. F'ifth-I charge the said Bofee with ha"ing attempted to influence the vote ef a Senator by offering him a bribe upon the floor of the Senate. 1 submit the matter for your con siJdration and action, and request that th( above charges be referred to a coemittee of your honorable body, thbt the said Bovee be cited to an swer according to law, and that, if there be due proof of the charges agminst him, he be impeached and brought to the bar of the Senate for triyl. H. C. WARMOTH, Governor of Louisiana. 'he New Orleans Louisianian says: Im.nediate action was taken by the House, and in accordance with a reso lut4on adopted, the Speaker appointed thy- following special committee of seien, to investigate the charges pre ferred against Mr. Bovee--T Green Davidson, of Livingston; W. B. Bar ret?, of Orleans; M. Carr, of De Soto; J. H. Bowen, of Orleans; T. B. Stamps of efferson ; M. Morris, of Ascension; J. ý. Barrow, of East Feliciana. The coohmittee will doubtless speedily di rec4 their attention to this matter, an.. in a few days we may expect to hate this important question disposed of. o(ne dark night not long ago a bur gla"entered a private residence in a country town. On ascending one fligat of stairs he observed a light in a Ohamber 'and while deliberating what to do a large woman suddenly de ended upon him, seized him by theithroat, pushed him down through theihall and forced him into the street befre he had time to think. " Heroic Repulse of a Burglar by a Woman" was the way in which the story ap peaped in the newspapers the next daSt But when friends called and congratulated her upon her courage, shet exclaimed : " Good gracious ! I did 't know it was a burglar. If I had I sh uld have been frightened to death. I tlught it was my husband come hou4e drunk again, and I was deter •,ed he should not stay in the house i_ .iat condition." ..ry A. Goodman, a colored wo ma , of New Haven, died recently, lea"ing her whole property, some $50, to the Theological School in tha city for the aid of young colored med studying for the ministry. This sun is the saving of a life spent in suc toil as washing and domestic sr ce. She felt that the time was congng, in the rapid progress of her race and people, when they would re quin a more highly educated min istrt, and it was after full deliberation and with real pleasure that she con sec.rted to this object, nearly a year in, the entire earninga of her. life.

PIEigu; LADauY, Secretary pro ~en, ADDRESS -OP THE Republican Committee of Third Congressional District, State of Louisiana. To the Republicans of the Third Congresson al Disrbict of Louisiana : Your Congressional Committee, chosen by your delegates at the late Republican Con vention, which met at Turner Hall, New Or leans, August 9th, 1871, in view of the ap proaching campaign, have thought best to make to you some suggestions in reference to the party work before us. 1. WVe desire to urge upon you the necessi ty of thorough organization in every ward and parish at the earliest moment. Wher ever possible, let each ward be represented by a club, and each parish by a Parish Exec utive Committee, composed in equal ratio of delegates from the ward clubs ; let the Par ish Executive Committees, through their Presidents and Secretaries, place themselves in correspondence with this committee, and make it a medium between themselves and the State Central Executive Committee of the Republican party. We shall then be able to speedily transmit to you public docu ments, circular letters, and general advice and counsel, which may assist you effectual ly pending the next campaign. 2. Time and experience have fully demon strated to the Republicans of Louisiana that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and if they desire success they cannot afford to be idle. In your midst will be found the seeds of discord, which will command your most earnest endeavors to remove. It is all important that harmony be restored to our ranks, and that disorganizers should be put down with a strong hand. Beware of any compromise or coalition with Democracy, and for your own safety draw the party lines straight, and keep aloof from any movement which has for its object the union of Demo crats and Republicans for any purpose what soever. 3. It will not do to lose sight of the fact that the newly enfranchised citizens of Lou isiana are yet in sore need of the strong arm of protection against their former masters and present political enemies. The rising generation must be provided with a free school system. This is only guaranteed by the success of the Republican party. The commercial interests of the State demand the extension and building of railroads. The present Republican Administration has been most favorable to these interests. Under four years of Republican administration, public improvements of all kinds have been increased in a remarkable degree, its prede censors have shrank into insignificance, and its successor will be pledged to the most lib eral State policy. 4. Unite yourselves speedily under the leadership of true and trusty men. .You re deemed Louisiana from oppressive Demo cratic rule in 1868, and secured peace and wholesome laws for your protection. Your platform tp-day is unchanged. It is as broad and strong as ever, and our opponents occu py their relative position. T1he contest in 1872 will between the friends of liberty, or der and improvement, as represented by the Republican party, and the last remnant of disunion sentiment, slavery prejudice, and retrogade policy, as represented by the Dem ocratic Party. You whipped Democracy in 1868 by over twenty-five thonsand majority, and we will increase to forty thousand in 1872. By order of the Committee. J. R. GALLUP, President. EMERSON BENTLEY, Secretary. Address care Secretary of State's Office, New Orleans. OFFICIAL CALL -FOR A National Republican Convention.
