The corporatinn tax of Vienna is

We have been told, says the Donald
sonvillc Chief, that a meeting will take
place to-day between two committees
one of Democrats, the other of R]epub
lians-to agree upon a list of persons
to be recommended to the government
for appointment as town officers.
The Louislana Intelli!tencer has ceased

A colored man with his two children
were burned to death in their cabin, on
Mr. Anatole Lallande's plantation, near
Napoleonville, last week. A coal oil
lamp was left burning in the cabin, and
the supposition is that it exploded and
Ignited the clothing and other cornbus
tibles in the cabin ; and so speedy were
the inroads of the tire that all escape
was cut off.
The police jury of Aqcenslon reorgan
ized last werk and elected It. T. Hansom
president. A committee was appointed
to reduce the estimate of parish ex
penses to conform with the new rate of
taxation prescribed by law; the parish
attorney r4 neested to report the out
standing im lebtedness and other busi
ness of ordinary nature transacted.
The proposed mass meeting at the
Court-House, in Donaldsonville, Hatur
day night, to indorse candidates for
town offmces was a flat failure, scarcely
half a dozen persons attending, exclu
sive of the parties who originated the
movement. The failure of the citizens
to respond was due to a, suspicion that
the motives of the prime movers in the
affair were not entirely disinterested.
It is seldom, indeed, that any occa
salon is so generally observed in Donail
sonville as was Thursday, Thanksgiving
Day. All the stores were closed, bus
ness entirely suspenled, services held
in the churches, everybody attired in I
holiday dress, and twenty-one gun sa
lutes fired morning and noon Upon the I
public square by the Cannoncers of º
Donaldeon.
There Is considerable complaint
among the farmers of Vermilion parish
about the worms destroying the young º
corn. Many planters have had to re- t
plant several times. The spring has I
been cold and backward and the crops ,
are also backward, cane in partlcnlar.
A large crop of corn is being planted in
this parish. The weather has been
quite favorable for farm work.
John Linwood, colored, who is a con
stable at Black Hawk Point, Concordia
parish was killed by Jacob Hawkins
colored. It appears that Hawkins hadt
been making too free with the wife of
Linwood, who, meeting the disturber of
his domestic felicity, proceeded to chas
tise him, but Hawkins got hold of an
ax, and with a tremendous blow chopped
off the cap of Linwood's head and kill
ing him. Hawkins was brought to Vidla
lla on Sunday and lodged in jail to await º
trial. .
Two fatal accidents are reported in
the Eighth Ward of Ascension parish,
About fifteen days ago a middle aged
white man was kicked in the breast by
a horse and instantly killed; and someI
ten days previous a young man, also 1
white, was thrown under the wheels of a
cart, which passed over his body, in
flieting injuries shortly resulting in
death. The name of the latter party
was Joe Thomas or Thompson; that of
the former is unknown,
Henry Collins, a colored boy 11 years
of aget fell into the river in front of
Braud s store, opposite D.naldsonville, I
and was drowned. The boy was walk
ing upon a gunwale lying in the water
fastened to the bank, when he lost his
footing and slipped off. He endeavored
to cling to the gunwale, but its slimy I
surface rendered his efforts futile, and
he sank before aid could be given him
by either of the two persons w lot wit
nessed the accident. At. last last ccoitts
the body had not been recovered.
Last Sunday was quite an eventful
day for Delta. Early in the morning
Peter Carter. a negro employe of the V.
S. and T, It. R., cut his wife's throat
from ear to ear and made his escape.
The woman's throat was sewed up by
Dr. Gilland. and she was alive at last
accounts. Later in the day another ne
gro was arrested for beating his better
half nearly to death. In Bush Bayou
near the town, a negro was drowned
some time during the day. lie was
standing up in a boat when his com
panion pushed off sudtdenly, and he was
thrown overboard. Sunday is an excit
ing day in Delta, if it is not over pleas
ant.
A short time since a colored man
brutally murdered one Willis, colored,
on a plantation in West Baton Rouge.
The killing was apparently premedi
tated, there being no reason for it
known. Willis was a good, hard-work
ing negro, and his murder created great
indignation. Saturday, after a prelimi
nary examination at the court-house in
West Baton Riuge, the accused was re
manded to Baton Rouge jail. On his
way to the ferry in charge of the sheriff,
a large number of colored people
charged the sheriff, captured the pri
soner and were proceeding to hang him.
The cries of the mob and yells of the
pisoner drew sevetal citizens to the
scue, and the sheriff succeeded in con
veying him to the ferry, followed by the
excited throng clamoring for the life of
the accused. The sheriff and posse had
to shield him with shot-guns constantly
aimed at the crowd, but at last got him
over the river in safety.

[N. Y. Tritunew. I
WARIslNOTON, May ii.- 'The Adminis
tration will give its attention at an early
day to a reorganization of the personnel
of the consular service. Hersetary
Evarts, familiar as he is with the com
mercial interests of the country, will
make it his aim to extend to our foreign
commerce all the encouragement posal
ble under exist ing lIaws.
It is feared that at many ports consuls
have been appointed through political
influence, who are in a gr st tmeasire
unlit to perform the dutiis of their
offices, and who by their inconpetence
discourage rather than encourage trl'ade
with the United States. Of course the
policy of the last Congress, in reducing
the number of our cousuls and in some
instances their salaries, will prevent Ihe
Administration from putting this ser
vice in as efficient a condition as might
be desired; but the necessity of more
liheral treatment of this branch of the
civil service will probably be brought to
the attention of Congress. At any rate,
the system as it now exists will be
raised to as high a standard of excel
lener as possible.
The American consular system is the
only one in the world that is self-sup
porting. The fees collected by our con
suls in 1874 amounted to more than
$700,000, while those collected by (Ireat
Britain were only about one-ilfth as
great. O(n the other hand, the United
States pi dI to its consuls in the form of
salaries only about $4O0,000, while Great
Britain paid to its cottimercial represent
atives in foreign countries about two and
a half times as large a sum. The Inci
dental expenses in connection with the
consular system of the British govern
ment are also correspondingly greater.
The entire amount of money annually
-appropriatedtfor the support of consu
lar officers t. paid by our foreign com
Smerce, and aA we desire to encourage
- and increase oanr foreign trade, the de
mand of the merchants of the United
States that trio sums collected fronm
them In the shape of consular fees shall
be expended in such a manner as will
promote foreign trade is only a reason
t able one. It never was intended that
- our consular system should be a source
t of revenue to the country. When it be
comes so it is the result of one of two
things - either conseular fees are too high
or the consular service is not treated
with sufficient genero-,!ii t by Congress.
