LOCAL JOTTINGS.
The regular monthly list of letters

Friend Willie Hodges, mail agent
on the steamer Frank Pargoud, has
our thanks for newspaper favors.
PARISHI COUnRT.-The Civil at
Criminal term of the Parish Coujt
will commence Monday at 10, A. M.
See advertisement of change ,if
time of arrival and departure of trains
on the New Orleans, Mobile & Texas
Railroad, elsewhere.
There are two wreck boats still at
work aroass the river, raising the
machinery and freight which was in
the hold of the ill fated Wade Hamp
ton. We are unable to state how for
they have progressed with their labor,
,or how nearlt is to completion.
MAYOR'S CouRT.-Yesterday wasla
busy day for the Mayor. No le s
than four eates were tried; two fbr
assault and battery, one for horse aid
one for dog stealing. We hope t4
-log stealer will come often, and carEy
away about a thouasand of the wertl
less curs that infest the town.
Our eficient St. James item-gati
erer, Gus Hirsch, was in town again
this week, and of course called .o
see us. We endeavdred to exprss"
our acknowledgement for his past
services, but he stopped us with his
customary "Don't mention it ; it's only
a twifle."
The weather on Monday and Tues
day, was warm and delightful, lut
since Wednesday we have had a cold,
rainy, cheerless time of it. Up co
yesterday, we have had no stove in
our office, hence the work of getting
out this week's CiuIE has been very
unpleasant.
One of the most beautiful sigh'ts
ever vouchsafed htunan eyts, was ihe
sunset of last evening. At one tithe
the Western sky resembled an ocean
whosh waves were crimsOn; at
another, a sea of brightest gold. The
effect was magnificent and beyond
description.
PE.nsOWAL.-Mr. Thomas Tegarden,
the genial proprietor of the Tegarden
House, of Mississippi city, and rta
tive of the celebrated Dr. Tegar .n,
of the same place, is in town pang
Judge Mason and ourself a visit. Mfr.
Tegarden was a schoolmate of o'rs,
and at.. another time a pupil of the
Judge's in former years.
It pleased as to meet last evening
Mr. J. J. Clayton, of St. James, who
had arrived in town on the train at
7:15, in search of a horse stolen frem
the St. James estate, 'one day this
week. We are gtaLto state that his
search was sueceseful, as he foup the
thief lodged in jail and the ho in
.safe keeping by the Sheriff.
We regret that lack of time has pre
vented us from writing an accoun. of
the school exhibition which was given
at them.eC~house Friday evening 'of
last week. We have been overworked,
and plead that as an excuse for the
omismion. Believing, however, th.t a
report of the very interesting exibi
tion will be " better late than neer,"
we shall endeavor to give one ext
week.
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to a pleaguat little 'diama
to be 'i~bte4 at the Church of Ascen
sion, next Tuesday evening, in which
sur *geai District Attorney, Mr.
John A. Cheevers and Miss Ophelia
liourdier will play the most iiliport
ait parts. * We shall certainly en
deavor `o be on hand, and will speak
of the ifthuir at length in our next
issue.
Proceedings of a special meeting of
the iommon Council, held on Friday
of last week, will be found in this
issue. It will be seen that the pro
prietor of this paper has been awarded
the contract for the publication of the
proceedings of the Council, at one
hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The action of the Council in authoriz
ing the , ommittee of P'ubiic Works to
employ a person to keep the gutters
and drains of the town streets in a
cleanly condition, and also keep
bridges in repair, was very wise and
will be generally approved by our
citizens.
Yesterday, I)ecember 1st, the train
which I na daily between Donaldson
ville and New Orleans, left this town
at seven o'clock, A. M., arriving in
New Orleans at 10:55, leaving again at
3, and reaching here at 7:15 in the
evening, and this will hereafter con
stitute the regular schedule of time.
Although everybody seemed to think,
before the change was made, that it
would be a great convenience,we have
yet to meet the first person that is
pleased with the new schedule. A pe
tition will be addressed to the railroad
company by a huge number of citizens
of town and parish, asking a return to
the former system. We shall recur to
the subject next week.
Eliza Warfield was found laying in
a gutter on Houmas street, Friday
morning about two o'clock, in an
insensible condition. The supposi
tion is that she had been drinking
and had fillen into the gutter, went
to sleep, and lain there all night. A
drizzling rain had been falling and
the atmosphere was very cold, and
it is probable that .if Eliza had noqt
beea °dia vered when. she was, she
would have died from exlosure. As
it was, her life was dispaired of for
some timer but she is now out of
danger. We are told that she has
a husband who maltreats her in a
most shameful manner, and frequently
turns her out of the house at night
and looks the door against hter. If it
shall transpire that he was guilty of
such action Thtusday night, he should
be made to suffer for it.
The colored citizens of Donaldson
ville had intended :to have a" public
meeting on Thanksgiving day, for the
double purpose of commemorating the
day and passing resolutions of regret
for the death of the late lamented
Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana,
Hon. Oscar J. Dunn, but the cold,
rainy weather which prevailed pre
vented the fulfillment of the planned
demonstration. The sorrow felt for
the loss of the universally respected
colored man who so faithfully filled
the second office of the State govern
ment is general, and this sorrow seems
to have drowned all recollection of
the mistaken political course, pursued
by Mr. Dunn during the lost few
months of his life. Only his virtues
and good actions are remembered, and
there are no more sincere mourners for
his demise to be found than among
those opposed to the factiin to which
he had allied himself.
ST. JAMES ITESI.
Mr. W. L. Sterling, of the Seventh
-Ward, has been appointed a Deputy
Sheriff by Sheriff J. C. Oliver.
Governor Warmoth has appointed
Mr. Joseph Landry Supervisor of
Registration for St. James, vice L. E.
Bentley, removed from the parish.
Two white men, whose names we
did not learn, have been arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Sterling, for peddling
goods with a false license, and are
lodged in jail.
George Edwards was arrested on
Monday, November 20th, for assault
ing and beating his wife with a cow
hide. He was held in durance vile
until the 28th, when he was released
upon furnishing a bond of $100 to
keep the peace for twelve months.
We have been presnted with a
sample of sugar made on the St. James
estate, and we- believe that it will
comlpare favorably with any made in
the State. The color is very light,
while the grain is as clear as crystal.
The yield on the St. James estate has
been very fair for the season, and the
quality of the sugar imade, excellent.
Francis Abram was riding along
upon horseback last Monday, and, no
doubt imagining himself momarch of
all he surveyed, he gruffly ordered
David Smith, an humble pedesttian,
off the road out of the way. David
was not used to being ordered around
in such a peremptory manaer, so he
expresse4I is contempt for Abram by
refusing to depart one jot from his
line of travel. The temper of the
fiery hors'eman got the better of him,
and he struck Smith with his whip
and attempted to ride him lown. For
this little irregularity Smith cornm
plained to Judge Hedgepath, who
issued a warrant for the arrest of
Abram, and that individual was
nabbed and required to furnish a $100
peace bond. The mun with the un
common name-Smith-is happy, but
Abram is not.
The Late Lieutenant Governor.
[Froln the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
The death of Lieute amnt Governor
Dunn of Louisiana, which occurred at
his residence in New Orleans yester
day, is of no little importance. Oscar
J. Dunn was a negro, and was, per
haps justly, regarded as the political
leader of his race in this country.
He was a man of more depth than
Revels, the Mississippi Senator, and,
though in the scale of official position
he was hardly so high, it is very pro
bable that in time he would have
made a reputation for good, sound
sense superior to the other and sur.
passed him in every respect. At the
time of his death, Dunn was the ac
knowledged leader of the Grant wing
of the Louisiana Republicans, and
was engaged in a movement which,
there are many reasons to believe,
had for its ultimate object the eleva
tion of his name to the place of Vice
President upon the Republican ticket
next year, or in 1876 at the farthest.
In his " black man's party" move
ment in Louisiana he had the sanction
and support of General Grant, and it
is believed that the President was
willing to take Dunn with him tipon
the ticket. The object of this move
ment was the concentration of the
African vote of the country in one
solid phaplanx, with an ulterior view
to the triumph of the extreme of the
Radical party. The immediate object
of the movement.in Louisiana, was
the impeachment of Warmoth and his
party. What effect the death of Dunn
will have in this regard, is hard to
tell. It may be the triumph of the
anti-Grant party.
Lieutenant Governor Dunn was a
large, portly, well-proportioned, good
looking man of his class, with consid
erable affability of manner, and pleas
ing expression of countenance. He
presided over the State Senate with a
notable dignity, propounding motions
with a distinctness, and exhibiting a
perfect familiarity with parliablentary
rules. The distinguishing character
of his intellect was conunon sense, to
which might be added, among his
highest moral traits, a sense of pro
priety. His speeches were always
blrief, though he spoke sensibly enough,
and with commendable fluency. His
death will be a severe blow to the
Grant party in that State.
TERRIRBLI STOaM.-From the Thib
odaux Sentinel of Saturday before last
we extract the following:
On Mondlay before last a tremend
ous hurricane passed over the planta
tion of Mrs. Thomas Pugh, near Na
poleonville, in the parish of Assump
tion, blowing down the purgery and
cooling room, in which were some 40
hogsheads of sugar, part of it in the
coolers, the cane shed, part of the over
seer's house, stable, cornorib, several
cabins and other buildings, killing one
man and injuring several others. This
gale did not do any other serious dam
age in the vicinity. The sugar muak
ing was going on at the time, and it
is wonderful that no more persons
were killed. The wind in this parish
was severe occasionally, but we have
heard of nothing serious having been
occasioned thereby.
Since writing the above we learn
from Mr. D. B. Pugh some farther
particulars of this singular cyclone.
It was formed infront of the residence
and did not travel more than twenty
arpents and was about 200 yards wide.
The venerable Madam Pugh was
standing on the front gallery, with
her hand upon a.heavy Wooden bench.
Theold lady was lifted up and carried
very nearly 100 feet before striking
the earth, and escaped with some
severe bruises, whilst the bench was
smashed into a thousand pieces. One
white 'and one colored man were in
stantly killed and two others will
probably, die from injuries received.
Several were caught within the falling
buildings .id miraculously escaped.
A small t~oot extending from the
main building to the bagasse burner,
was carried some 40 or 50 yards kill
ing a mmle in its course.
The walls of, the buildings over
thrown are flat to the ground. The
cyclone apparently passed around
the engine and boiling room which
received no injury.

Repolutions
Adopted by the Republican State Qon
vention, August 10th, 1871.
RESOLVED, That we declare the Republican
party of Louisiana in full sympathy wyith the
national Republican party ; that we indorse
the platform of principles laid down by the
Chicago Convention.
Resolced, That we believe that the con
gressional measures of teuonstruction have
proved a complete success in ou'r State. We
indorse these measures, and all laws of Con
gress enacted in the interests of order and
civil liberty. We believe that if honestly and
fairly executed, these statutes will conduce
to the prosperity- of the Sopth and to the
strengthening of Republican institutions.
Resolved, That we specially indorse those
planks of the Republican platform which
pledged our party to the payment of the pub
Resolvel, That we advocate the reduction
of national taxation, and a redistribution of
the imposts in such manner as to impose the
least possible burden upon the people.
Resolved. That we pledge ourselves and our
party to faithful execution of the constitu
tional and statutory provisions for the public
education of all the children of the State
without distinction.
Resolved, That we indorse the Republican
administration of the national and'State gov
ernments. We especially indorse and com
mend the official career of our Gov-ernor, H.
C. Warmoth. We do this because, in our
opinion, his administration of the government
of Louisiana under reconstruction has been
so successful as to bring about the condition
of peace and order winch characterises our
State above all the other Southern States.
By reason of his execution of the laws, it is
possible for Republicans to assemble in any
part of the State, and the Republican party
consequently presents a uutoed front and
compact organization.
Resolved, That we plodge our party to the
reduction of taxation, and we insist upon an
economical administration of the govern
ment. We condemn indiscrimminate appro
propriations to individual enterprises, and
we urge upon the Legislature the curtail
ment of its expenses.
Resolred, That we advocate a policy of
reasonable and wise appropriations by the
State to internal improvemuents. We call
upon the national Congress to give to the
South'its fuill quota of aid and assistalice to
the improvemeint of our harbors and rivers.
We believe that we are entitled to an appro-.
priation to assist in opening the mouth ot the
Missiasippi, and in constructing our levees.
liesolred, That we tender our thanks to
Messrs. Harris, Garstkamp, Stamps, Swords
and other members of the late Central Com
mittee, who remained true to the party, and
refused to enter the combination for its
overthrow.
Resolved, That we denounce the outrage
ous acts of the federal otfficials connected
with the late State Central Connnittee, for
having attempted to pack this convention
with their chosen adherents, against the
expressed will of the Republicans of the
State. We denounce them for hivin" called
the convention to meet in a Unites States
courtroom, in a United States Customhouse ;
we denounce them for having attempted to
intimidate the convention by surrounding it
with armed special lcputy ~marshals; we
denounce them for having closed the door of
the courtroom, and having barred the en
trance of the Customhouse; we denounce
them for attempting to exclude from this
convention ninety-five delegates of the peo
ple, who were met at the threshold by two
companies of the United States army, called
out by these men to assist in canrying this
convention againstthe people. We denounce
their whole conduct in connection with the
calling out and assembling of this body.
They were guilty of every unfairness in the
progress of the election for delegates. They
were. guilty of simulation and fraud in con
nection with the determination of the time
and place of meeting. They finally estab
lished, without authority, certain pretended
rules relative to the admission of delegates,
calculated to further their scheme. They
admitted to the convention hall, or to an
adjoining room, with an open dodr, their
fraudulent delegates, while the doors were
kept closed against the bonea ide members
of the convention until the hour of meeting,
in order that they imight spring and force an
organization under the protection of the
revolvers of their marshals, and the bayo
nets of their soldiers. I
lesolved, That we xplnres our conviction
that these outrages were not perpetrated
with the knowledge or consent of President
Grant ; we disbelieve the statement of Mar
shal Packard to that effect, we proclaim our
eariest hole that our President will repudiate
the acts of these men ; and we declare that
we will only withdraw our hearty sHpport
and endorsement of hiha when we shall learn
that we were outraged and insulted by his
othicers after conaultation with hhi, and by
his idvvice and consent.
Besolead, That we believe that the Presi
dent alone can unite andb harmonize the
Repulblican or"anizationin our State. Several
of his cfice holders have formed a combina
tion with an insignificant bolting faction of
Republicans; but they seem determined to
rule or ruin the party. Therefore, for the
purpose of healing these .differences, and to
insure our success in 1872, we respectfully ask
the removal of Marshal Packaid, Collector
Casey, Assewsor Joubert, Revenue Collector
Stockdale, Special Deputy Collector Herwig
and Postmaster Lowell, and we ask the up
pointment of men who will support the
publin party of I.oisim.
1 ;e.d, That the Prreisdlnt of this cona
vention be reqbaetd to appoint a comnittee
of twenty RepubliCans to watt upon Presi
dent Grant, and to represent to him the facts
stated in the above and foregoing resoln
ti~us

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's M'.zine. They are read'with
equal interest ad stisfaetion- by -boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently. pro
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu
lar understanding, and designed as moa to
diffuse correct information concernjng cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the "Society fbr the Ulffu
sion of Useful Knowledge."
The great design of Harpe's is to give cr
rect intormation and rationul unmusemlent to
the great masses of people. There are few
intefligent American falnihes in which Har
per's Magazine would not be an appreelnte&
and highly welcome guest.
There is no mouthly magazine that an in
telligent reading ficmily Can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accuriltated.
Harper's is edited. T'here is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a mor popular magazine in the world.

The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magasines.-Nation.
HARPER'S WEEKLY.
The best publication bfitselasin America,
and so far ahead of all other weekly journals
as not to permit of any comparison between
it and any of their number.
Its columns eoatain the finest eellections of
reading matter that are printed. "
Its illustrations are numerous and beauti
ful, being furnished by the best artists in the
country.-Boeteo Traveller.
Harper's Weekly deserves its primacy in
this class o' publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence of its ilhmstra
tions. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
ires of Nast ae a power in society, and are
dictated in aid of a sound publicopinlon, and
against public wrongs and follies. The edi
toriais on public affqirs are models of di'.cu
sion, weiglty and teniperate, spppoftinghigh
principles in an elevated tone-and a ehasten
ed literary style.-Ezcminer uand CAsmniele.
HARPER'S BAZAR.
Free from all politioal and secotarian discus
sion, devoted to fashion, pleasure, and in
struction, it is just the agreeable, compan
ionable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will sequire
every son, husband, and lovefr to bring home
with them every Saturday evening.-Ahila
delphia Ledger. ,
This paper at the outset'occupied- a place
not filled by any American periodical, and
won for itselfa deserved popularity. .It is
really the only illustrated chronicler of fash
ions in the country. Its supplements alone
are worth the subscription prce of the paper.
While fully maintaining its lposition as a mir
ror of fashion, it also contains storis, poems,
brilliant essays, besides.general and person
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labomror expende necessrty to makd
tihe Bazar the moeet attraetive journal that
can posibly be made.--Bosto .,Sa.uideay A're
