A very favorable ehiange in the weather
has taken place recently. Last week the
temperature lowered a good many de
grees and several frosts occurred which
have checked the second growth of sugar
cane and materially increased its 'ield.
On- news from the sugar-houses is very
sa it, and we invite some of our plant
ing friends to give us information iela
live to the progress they are iiaking.
Break-downs in the mluIllachinery of
Messrs. lien Gibson's and .1. C. C(field's
sugar-houses have occurred recently, ne
cessitating brief, but vexatious and ex
pensive delays for repairs. At the Tu
reaul place, in the fifth ward, yester
day evening, a small pjece of boiler was
blown out and a two-feet patch was re
quired to stop the leak. Fortsunate)y no
one was injured by the explosion.

and 7 months, regretted by all who ever
knew him. lie is the seventh child lost

deeply afflicted father. If ever a parent
deserved the sympathy of his friends, Mr.

l xliirn x.-We acknowledge, with
.thanks, receipt of complimentary tickets
to al exhilition to be given at Phanix
Hall, next Saturday evening, the 29th
inst., by the pupils of Mrs. C. Keating's
Academy. The reputation acquired by
Mrs. Keating and her young charges for
atbfrding to the public a rare combina
tion of amuseulent and instriction in
their exhibitions, is sufiicient to warrant
the prediction that a large audience-will
attend the coining entertainment. The
price of idmiission has been fixed at
twenty-five cents, and the pupil selling
the greatest nuiber of tickets will lie
awarded an appropriate prize.
COTTON Gi(x ItRNEin.-On Wednesday
of last week, the gia-hqpse on the Dlu
mniii Lelilane place. at -Dutch Stores, in
the eighth ward of this parish, caught
tire and was completely destroyed. to
gether with twelve Dales of 'otton in the
]milling and one hundred aiid lifty loads
of peavine hay tetecked in the field a
short distance away. The lire started in
the lint room while the gil was in oper
ation, anl had gained such headway lbe
tire being discovered, that it was intpos
sible. wit Ii the facilities at hand to check
its progress. The loss ivsulting tiim this
iceident is estimated at about 2IPO0. and
there was un insurance upon the prop
ertvy destroyed.

Local Politics.
The Bolters in Secret Council-They Nomi
nate a Ticket.
The bolting Republicans of this parish,
who are riding on the shoulders of poor
old John Cheevers and expecting through
the prestige of his popularity to feather
their own little nests and secure control
of the local offices, met in secret conclave
at G. H. Hills residence to-day, and in
the seclusion of a private and exclusive
c1acqs, mapped out their plan of cam
paign and framed a paeodhial tidketc
The assembly consisted of some twenty
or twenty-five persons, mostly from the
town of Donaldsonville, assembled to
gether by mutual agreement and under
standing, without any pretense of the
formality of holding an election for dele
gates in any of the wards. None were
admitted to the confab but those who
obligated themselves beforchand to sup
port whatever action would be taken,
with two or three exceptions which we
do not wish to mention with more par
ticularity at this time. So far as our in
formation goes, the first ward was repre
sented by the defeated aspirant for Slier
iff before the conclave; the second by a
self-constituted delegate and a resident
of Donaldsonville; the third by two
chronic bolters, who have invariably op
posed every thing done by the regular
Republican organizations for several
years past; the fourth by ten or a dozen
parties from this town; the fifth by the
uiig bolter of the parish and one of his
brothers; the sixth by an individual ac
cinentally present and pressed into ser
vice; the seventh and eighth by nobody.
The handsomest Internal Revenue Col
lector in the State, was present and
those distinguished compatriots from St.
James, ex-Sheriff V. Miles and Hon. Son
ny Simmes also shed the light of their
presence and added the weight of their
wisdom to the gathering. After much
secret solemn discussion and rubbing of
heads together, and sundry recesses for
the purpose of visiting an unlicensed
deadfill in Mr. Hill's front yard, ahieue
liquid lightning was seiwed (At to the
thirsty, the followi~mg ticket was formiu
hated:
State Senator., lichard Simmnes,
J)istricttndge, John A. Cheevers,
Representative, J. J. Sullivan, Jr.
Sheriff, Louis Lefort,
Clerk of Court, G. H. lill,
Coroner, I)r. John Dominique.
It was decided to leave the District At
torneyship blank, but whether the 1,lnk
will appear on the tickets on Icixtion
day remains to be seen. A proposition
was also made to take no action with re
spect to the Representative, in accord
ance with the liau indiesated in the
Cili i last week, but the matter .as
discussed and it was finally deeided to
indorse Mr. Sullivan, the reg.ui)laur nomi
nee. The contest for Sheiff wvas a close
one, Mr. Lefort only gaining the ques
tionable prize of the nomination, we un
derstand, by one vote over his competi
tor, Mr. A. P. Dominique. The nomina
tion of Mr. Hill for the Clerkship over
Mr. Jlno. D. Cantey controverted the doc
trine of the " survival of the fittest," for
it is a notorious fact that Mr. Hill is to
tmilly incoinpctant to perform the duties
of Clerk of Court.
After the business of the farcical con
vention had been accomplishedu, some
miscellaneous chin music was indulniged
in, and the Collector of Internal Rese
nie took occasion to declare to the boys
that if money was all that was iptpeded
to carry the thing through, he had
plenty of it for the purpose.
Mass-Meetings in the First stns} Sixth
Wards.
The 1Republiepn mass-imeetings in the
first and sixth wards, last Snu4ay, were
well attended and proved entirely satis
factory in results. The first ward meet
ing awls held tit the Adlard Landry
school-house, opeoiing at 4 o'clock it the
afternoon, Mr. Louis Butler presiding
and W. F, A. Gaines. Esq., acting as see
retary. The Excelsior Brass Band was
present and its flue music did much to
attract the large assemblage of people.
The sneakers were Messrs. P. A. Jones,
L. E. Bentley, Augustus Knight and J. J.
Sullivan, Jr., and their exposition of the
political situation and the issues of the
canvass were listened to with deep inter
est by the audience. Judge Henry L.
Duftel visited the meeting pursuapt to
invitation apd being introduced, ac
cepted the Republican nomination for
the District Judgeship in the following
appropriate remarks;
Fiellow Citizens-I was informed by a
conumittee that I have been iominated
by the Republican party for the ocfice of
District Judge. I was also invited by
members of the Parish Executive Com
mittee of your party to attend this meet
ing. This invitation I accepted and I am
here to thank vou.
Two years ago when I was appointed
District Judge by Governor Nicholls I
learned that the colored people were
alarmed, lest, as I was a pronounced
Democrat, I would prove a partisan
,Judge. Your voluntary choice of me
now, proves that the alarm was un
foinmed, and is complimentary to inc
personally and.as Judge.
The selection of a Democrat by you
when you could elect one of your own
party shows a generons and fair minded
disposition, which will meet its own re
ward. The people of f-his parish, and in
fact of the State, will not fail to note this
disinterestedness on your pIrt, which
does you much credit.
I accept the nomination with pride,
because your action in this matter con
vinces.me that I must have acted, when
on the bench, with impartiality, and
have renudered my judgments accordjig
to the law and evidence, instead of re
garding the color or condition of those
brought before me.
I onceumore thank you, and wish you
success and prosperity in your under
takings.
The sixth ward meeting took place at
Ashlaudl warehouse, after dark, Mr. Ne4
Hill presiding, Stephen Johison, secre
tary. Messrs. Arthur Burnett, Augustus
Knight, Joseph Carter, Jio. A. Cheevers,
Pierre Lauudrv. G. H. Hill, L. E. Bentle 'm
Win. Scott and P. A. Jones addrussed the
audieiice, auii although Messrs. Clicevers
anil Hill made the most they could of
tiieir huolt and said all thtist could lbe sail
in its favor, their fliumsy pretexts were
torn to tat ieraai-. tlu' tune dunn(ten oh
the bolt exposed so effectively that the
unanimous sentiment of the meeting was
favorable to the regular ticket. This
was demonstrated when Mr. Hill, after a
characteristic harangue, called for three
cheers for Judge Cheevers anudzeeived
no response. A second 1call. Tauin the
speaker elicited ayye11 'from one man on
horseback .aul the orator retired from
the stand in disgust. Judge Cheevers
atated to several persons at this meeting
that he wished he could find some way
to satisfy the men who were backing
him up, so that lie could withdraw from
the contest for the judgeship.
Republican Nominations in the Ninth
Justice Ward.
The following communication, which
we insert with pleasure, shows that the
Republicans of the New River justice

erations in the nomination of a Justice

The Grand Mass-Meeting of November 30.
It is expected that the last and most
important Republican mass-meeting to
be held in this parish during the present

asm. Besides Judge Taylor 03eattiw
and other prominomit Louisiana Republi

Woodford of New York will be present.
This 4.istinguished gentleman ranks
anum~g the finest orators .in the coimitry,

A REuLABLE COMPANY.-Ili our adver
tising colmuns will be found copies of
two documents which give new evidence
of the reliable character and prompt
business dealings of that well known
and popnlar association, the Lonjsjaia
Equitable Life Insurance Company. The
documents referred to are receipts for
the payments on matured policies, oi,+ a
life policy of $1500 terminated by the
death of Mr. Desire P. Uohichaux, the
other a policy of $4000 issued on the ten
year endowiuout plan to Mr. .J. Cr. Bien
venue, to whomr the money was paid in
person on the day the tertmu expired. It
is always a pleasure to commend a com
pany which ponducts its business in such
tan admjrable manner as the Louisiana
Eqi~tnIable does.

In another part of our piper to-day
appears, in conspicuous fiuio , lilt ad

prising and popular merchant, G. Feitel.
bar. ieitel is one of those who believcs
that the broad road to wealth is through
extensive advertising, and that by con
stantly keeping the public informed as
to the quantity and quality of the goods
he has on hand, and the exceedimgly
low rates at which he disposes of them,
to hold out such ieducentents as any one
wishing any thing in the mercantile line
will know exactly where to go and find it.
And pow that he is about to remove his
extensive stock to a more spacious and
elegant building, he is anxious to dis
pose of as much of it as possible,
thereby lessening the inconvenience of
removal. As a consequence he is offer
ing most extraordinary opportunities to
purchasers, in fact selling goods at a sac
rifice. -Go while there is yet time, and
our word for it, you will receive just,
honest, fair and impartial dealing from
the eunrteomis Mr. Feital and his affable
clerks.

SENA'OR.a LANDIIY VINDICA'. ED.-While
looking over a file of exchanges the other
day we noticed the following paragraph
in the New Orleans Qbrercer of October
15, and it gave us the first jntimpatiomn we
have received of the vindication efSena_
tor Landry from the charge of assault
and battery preferred against him some
time ago by Mrs. Bernard, boarding-house
keeper iin New Orleans. We join the
oTscrrer in congratulating the Senator
upon the satisfactory adjustment of the
unfortunate matter. The paragraph re
ferred to is as follows:
State Senator Landry, who has been
seriously ill at his home in Donaldson
ville, front rheumatic fever, is now hap
pily convalescent, and though yet bear
ing the marks of a severe attack, he is
speedily regaining vigor. Mr. Landry
arrived here oui Tuesday and the same
day voluntarily preseinted himself at
court, to answer the charge of assault,
presented by lMrs.Bernard; and published
in the N. O. Tihmes sonic weeks siuee. The
matter on investigation is satistfatoriiy
adjusted. In fact, careful inquiry shows
that in this case the charge and publica
tion were both a malicious proeopution,
inteqded to effect injury to Mr. Limidry.
Fortunately, impartial examination niot
only disproves the charge of battery but
clearly vindicates Senator Laundry. We
are pleased to i.ote the result and rejoi e
in the hIi jmpy disposition of timi miiitter.
REGISTRATION.-Mr. J. B. Hebert, dep
uty Supervisor of Registration, has fur
nished us with the following statement
of the number of voters registered at ,the
polls mentioned from the 3rd tv~th8 13th
instants, both dates inclusive:

We have not yet obtained a statement
of the registration at the PIjtI Laudry,
Hercule Landry and Meyers polling
places, but believe that the total regis
tration at those three localities was
about sixty. The deputy Supervisor re
turned to Donaldsonville on Tuesday
and again located at the Court-House,
where he will keep the books of regis
tration open until next Saturday eve
ning the 29th inst. After this time the
registration will be finally closed.
MANGLED BY A MOWEn.-On Thursday
last, the 20th inst., John Haynes, a col
ored man employed on Mr. Ben Gibson's
rice plantation, adjoining Darrowville,
met with a very serious and painful ac
cident which came very near costing him
his life. He was engaged at the time as
driver of the mowing machine, going
through the field cutting the second
growth of rice, when one of the wheels
ran over a stump and threw thei driver
from his scat. gie was steiik %y the
knives of the mower, *receiVing two
gashes on one leg, two on the hip and
one on the shoulder lAadle, all deep and
severe cuts, those on the leg taking out
pieces of she bone. The unfortunate
man's auutenings have been intense, but
under the skilful treatment of Dr. A. C.
Love he is in a fair way of as speedy re
covery as the nature of his wounds will
permit.
In Memoriam.
WINFREE.-At her residence, in the
town of Donaldsonville, La., November 17,
1879, at 12 o'clock M., ADELIA E. GRIF
FIN, wife of the late Philip Wintree, aged
52 years.
New Orleans papers please copy.
On Monday last, at 12 o'cloeJ, Mrs. Adelia
Winfree breathed her last ip this worl4 of
sin, sorrow and misfortp e, and her glori
fied soul took its ftight to the joyous realms
above-up to the God who gave it. Mrs.
Winfree suffered long and painfully, and at
last, like a departing sunbeam, brr life
ebbed away. She inves three children
two daughters and a sou-to mourn her un
timely death. It were a fruitless task to
attempt to portray her many virtues as
ianilbiated in the 52 yearsthatare inscribed
ia her life's tablet. Suflice to say, that she
was all that was good, great and noble;
kind, generous and tender-hearted ; pos
sessed of all the exatted qualities that were
necessary to win and charm the hearts of
all with whom she cauee in contact. Mrs.
Winfree leaves no eneries behind, but a
host of sorrow-stricken and mourning
friends who sadly bewail hlr premature
taking-off. And now that she is gone, and
we stall see her nto )ore fovreie, we fully
appreciate her greatness and worth. Poor
Mrs. Winfree! Dear departed soul! Sweet,
hallowed Saint in the spirit land ! We
truly ant devoutly hope, that in " that bet
ter world " where all is peace and ]ove and
truth, that you may receive the reward so
justly earned in this: "Well done thou
good and faithful servant, enter into the
kingdom the Lord has prepared for you."
Sweet, gentle mother, calmly rest,
Beneath the cold, green sod;
The flowers will bloom above thy breast,
Whilst you will dwell with God.
And often in the pale moonlight,
When falls her sil'vry ray
Utpon the stilly shades of night,
Beside thy grave we'll pray
That thy pure, inmnortal soul
May rest in joy and bliss;
Beyond grim sorrow's sad control,
In the world more fair than this.
That up in that celestial sphere,
Where all is peace and truth;
That you will find them, gathlaed there,
The glories-of Christ's love a proof.
Alt! sweetly, calmly. mildly sleep,
In the grave we've made for thee;
Though sadly for thee now we weep,
We know from sin your soul is free.
We know that we shall meet again,
Around the Heavenly Throne;
There, free from strife and woe and pain,
Mother soon "'ill meet her own.
