Mfr. Jos. St. Martin, a late resident
of this place, is here on a visit, and
Ihas met with a cordial reception from
his numerous friends.
The parish roads are in a horrible
condition, in many places almost im
passable. There will be abundance
of work for the Syndics as soon as the
lirst dry spell of weather occurs.
The names of a number of license
deliuquents will be placed in the
hands of the District Attorney to-day,
and that official will enter suit for the
collection of the overdue licenses.
We are informed that Mr. Adelard
Landry has refused to accept the ap
pointment as a member of the Police
Jury of this parish, and considerable
curiosity exists as to who will lie des
ignated to till the vacancy.
We see that PltorTER & GAMBLE'S
EXTIA Olnv n SOPr is becoming very
ploplar in our town. Its quality, we
Jknow, is superior, and being nicely
plerfutied we are not surprised that
consumers prefer it, and that it has a
large sale.
We are in receipt of a letter from
Maj. A. K. Arnold of the U. S. A., in
forming us, that lie will be in Donald
sonville on the 26th of June to pay
bounty claims to parties whose case
have been favorably considered at
Washington. Claimants in St. Martin,
St. James, Ascension and'Assumption
parishes are notified to meet him in
Donaldsonvurille on the day mentioned.
The week just ending has been one
of daily rains, and on sonime days no
less than three separate and distinct
showers have fallen. During the in
tervals between rains we have beenl
blessed with warmn sunshine that did
muchl towards counteracting the bad
effect of too much water in the cane
and corn fields. The nights have
been resplendent with silvery moon
light.
-The First African Baptist Church
Association of the left bank of the
river is about to build a now church,
and a petition for financial aid for tile
purpose is being circulated, which has
received the signatures of a number
of our prominuent merchants and citi
zens. The ground upon which the
chkurch is to be erected has been pur
chased for $475, and it is estimated
the entire cost of the building and
site will be $1000.
The suit which was mnictioncd ili
thlie record of J)istrict Court proceed
.,p',e, which we llunbli~h'd last ,"'eek,
"J. B. Hebert vs. Felix Braud," is not
an action against Mr. Branud person
ally, but ia his tate capacity asl3eriff,
and relates to the title of some prop
erty sold at auction by the Sheriff.
We make this explanation at the re
qunest of Mr. Brand, so that none may
misconstrue the nature of the suit re
ferred to.
A new and valuable publication to
be called the New Orleans Medical and
SurgicalJournal will make its appear
ance on the first of July, and every
two months thereafter, and will be
devoted t, the interests of the medi
cal profession and the instruction and
amusement of lovers of science. Each
number of the intgazine will contain
one hundred and fifty pages, and the
subscriiption price is $5 per antnum.
Wilkinson will receive subscriptions
at the news depot on Railroad Av
en ue.
The CHIYFr is no longer the official
journadl of the town of Donaldsonville,
the Leader having put in a bid for the
publication of the proceedings of the
Council at the very low rate of *25 ia
year, which is $75 less than we would
undertake the job for. Hlaving been
deprived of all official pap, the C nII.;F
now relies solely on its merits for f'
ture success. We accept the situation
cheerfully, and feel confident of our
ability to make this journal a perma
nent institution, whose existence will
not depend upon the victory or defteat
of political rings or parties.
The Common Council held a session
Tuesday, Mayor,$mith presiding. The
bid of the Leader to perfoirm the town
printing for $25 a year was accepted.
A committee of three citizens--Messrs.
Jos. Billeisen, W. G. Wilkinson and
li.i'nard Lemann-was appointed to
examine the streets with the view of
suggesting means of effective draiu
age, etc., to the Committee on l'ublic
Works. The appointment of a conm
mittee of three to examine the books
of the late Secretary concluded the
business of the session, and the Coun
cil adjourned.
At tile instance of Itepresentatives
Landry and Lewis, Gov. Kellogg has
appointed Mr. G. II. Hill Justice of
the Peace for the fifth ward of this
parish, vice Albert Brandy, and Jos.
Carter Constable for the same ward,
viue )anieil Butler. 'l'hese appoint
tments were made on the 10th inst.
Mr. Hlill held the position of Justice
of the ifth ward two years, and the
efficient mianner in which he per
formed the duties and exercised the
powers pertaining to the ollice are cv
idence that his renewed occupancy of
the same will be creditable both to
himself and Gov. Kellogg.
One improvement we have to note
that has been inaugurated in the man
agement of the railroad since it has
passed into new hands is thell, revo
cntion of the silly rule that all freight
received at the 1)onaldsonville depot
should be detainied there until trans
portation charges were paid. This
regulation has been the cause of con
siderable annoyance and inconven
ience to our merchants, and was the
cause of many of them patronizing
steamnooats in preference to the rail
road. Now that the obnoxious rule
has been dispensed with, the ficight
business of the railroad should in
crease materially.
'iThe body of an unknown black man
was found floating in tile river in front
of the store of Mir. Paul Ilebert, Jr.,
Smoke Bend, early last Thursday
morning. The Coroner was notified
and held an inquest, but nothing was
elicited that threw any light upon the
sulbject of the identity of deceased.
The only effects found upon tile body
were a single nickel, a pocket hand
kerchief to one corner of which was
tied an iron nut, and what appeared
to be a piece of a steamboat deck
passage ticket. Upon this fraction of
a ticket, almost obliterated by long
soaking in the water, is the printed
word " Johnson," and this leads to
the supposition that the man either
fell accidentally or was thrown over
board from the steamer Bradish John
son.
IMProRTANT INJUNCTION.-Mr. A. J.
Braud, Jr. has filed a petition before
the Fourth Judicial District Court,
setting forth that the " parish war
rants" issued by Messrs. Rodolphe
Braud and Frederick Fobb, former
and present Secretary of the Police
Jury, arce illegal, and praying for in
junctions against the Police Jury, the
Tax Collector and the Treasurer, pro
hibiting them from paying any of
the warrants aforesaid or receiving
the same in payment of taxes or li
ceuses. In the absence of the District
Judge, Parish Judge Cheevers issued
tihe iijtnctiulu. brayed fir, We hall
publish in our next issue the full text
of Mr. Braud's petition and comment
at length upon the character and
probable result of the suit which this
petition will open.
TOWN SCuOOL BOARD.---The newly
appointed Board of School Directors
for the Town of Donaldsonvi!le met
at the Court-House on Tuesday last
and effected an organization. Mr. N.
M. Conway was chosen temporary
President and Mr. Milton Sagendorph
temporary Secretary. The selection
of permanent officers being declared
in order, Mr. Chas. F. Smith was
unanimously elected President and
Mr. W. G. Wilkinson Secretary and
Treasurer. A committee of two was
desigunted to ascertain the amount
of money due the town school treas
ury, after which the Board adjourned
subject to the call of the presiding
officer. Messrs. Sagendorph and Bur
bridge constitute the committee men
tioned.
We hardly think it probable town
schools will be opened prior to the
first of September.
The proceedings of last Saturday's
session of the Parish School Board are
published in another column. It will
be noticed that a committee on school
houses was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Rod. Brand, Jacob Warner
and Jackson Starks. This committee
is constituted for the purpose of exer
cising a general supervision over the
buildings used for public school pur
poses throughout the parish, and is
endowed with full power to order
such repairs as may be necessary and
wart ant upon the Treasurer for the
payment of the same. We believe it
is the intention of the members of this
committee to make a tour of the par
ish at an early day for the purpose of
inslpecting the various school-houses,
and they will take steps to have the
buildings prepared for the opening of
the schools in September so that the
children may have comfortable and
healthful places for the prosecution of
their studies.
The corn crop of our parish is al
most ruined. The long continued
rains have caused the young plants to
rot in the ground, and the prospect is
that less than third the usual yield
, ill be realized upon most of the
plantations here. The l)bst crop will
probably be that upon the New Hope
place, owned by Gen. Allen Thomas,
where the corn was luckily planted
upon a ridge instead of the lower
ground as is usually done. From the
cotton growing sections of the parish
more cheerful accounts reach us of the
crop outlook, and in a number of in
stances the cotton is exceptionally
file for the season. The cine suliirs
somewhat from the excessive rains,
but several planters inform us that
no irreparable injury has yet been
done the stand, and with a return of
favoralde weather we may look fo1r a
renewal of the cheering indications of
a large sugar yield that existed pie
vious to the conlmencenient of the
little deluge with which we are visit
ed.
The magnificent steamer Katie will
pass Donaldsonville uponli her down
ward trip every Sunday aftiernloonll e
tween the hours of one and three, and
will carry passengers to New Orleans
at the rate of $2 50 each. The Katie
will stop for hails at all points along
the coast, charging $3 each for passen
gers who embark below D)onaldson
villeh, and will also bring passengers
from New Orleans to D)onaldsonvillo
or intermediate points at the same
price. Many of our people who have
occasion to visit New Orleans will
hail with pleasure the olpportunity a t'
forded then to make a trip upon the
beautiful Katie at a rate not exceed
ing the cost by rail. The offliers of
the Katie are all agreeable and olblig
ing gentlemen, and the appointinents,
of the noble steamer are not excelled
either as regards elegance or conm
pleteness by those of any craft upion
the Mississippi, and a ride upon her
iimust, in the very nature of things, lie
a most enjoyable episode in one's cx
perience.
The bounty claims of the following
parties, residents of this parish, have
been allowed by the Government, ani
they are notified to meet Maj. A. K.
Arnold of the V. S. army, at the
Court-house, in this town, on the 2u0th

Nothing couldl m more unfair than
the strictures upon the Parish School
Board c.ontained in the report of the
(Grand Jury. The statement that the
School Board " has grossly neglected
its duties " is a fabrication conceived
in a. spirit of pelrsonal dislike for the
icnmclcbi of the Board, and uttered
with the intention of prejudicing the
iiinds of the State and Division Sup
erintenlents and ta,' uninf(ormed pub
lic in general against them and thinus
probabltly securing some changes in
the mnclabershiip that would hae palata
ble to the individual who led the in
telligent Grand Jury by their several
noses and kindly concocted the report
to which they attached their names.
WhIilhe it is true that "no schools have
been opened since last ()ctohler, and
thi at there, was " nuot a cent iin their
t.rasury " at the time the Grand Jury
reiported, there is no reason to be
fiunnl in these facts for the, assertion
tlhat the Sclhool loardl grossly ne.g
hletced its duties. Thie indeblteldness
wvhich has teacn hanging (av'l: tlhem

anal incurring additional ohbligations,
citluhr in .justice to tlmllseclvc s ,ir thle
nedy v teachers to whom tLhey weire in

inexplicable ae'tion of the recent, Tax
('olhlc'tor in withholding the school
tax from the educational tr"tsury so
lonig ia time embarrassed tile Board
con.siderlaly, and tended to produce
the inacation which hasn been most un
justhly termed by the Graud Jury's re
port a "gross neglect of duty."
