We greet the new firm with kind
wishes for their success and pros

— Persons building dwellings
should call aud examine the Enani

Domical aud handsome.
Special Announcement.—.A large pro
portion of the readers of the Tliibodaux
Sentinel are farmers, many of whom desire
a great deal more of farm literature than
we are able to give in onr limited space.
To accommodate all such we have made
arrangements with the publishers of the
American Farmer to give it as a premium
for one year to every subscriber of the
Tliibodaux Sentinel who pays his subscrip
tion in advance. The American Farmer is
a large 16 page paper, published at Fort
Wayne, Ind.,' the subscription price of
which is $1.00 per year. Every planter in
Lafourche parish should avail himself of
this magnificent offer.
—The new Iron Bridge over the
Lafourche at Donaklsouville, jndg
ing from the comments of the
Chief is not a success. The Board
of Directors will not accept the
work nncil certain strengthening
repairs are made.
The people of that vicinity have
been anxiously awaiting the com
pletian of the structure.
Time to Stop it.— .It's too bad, Sir or
Madam, bat don'tget frightened. A glance
in the mirror, or an investigating coiumitce
of fingers tell the dismal story. We won't
discuss the possible cause. It is enough
that Parker's hair Balsam used now will
prevent further destruction. Is your hair
somewhat gray too, and crisp? Alas, yes.
The Balsam will give back theoriginal co
lor, softness and gloss. Not a dye, not oily,
elegantly perfumed, a perfect dressing.
—Call and see the fine assort
ment of fire-grates and stoves at
S. T. Grisamore's Stove aud House
Famishing Depot.
Why go abont with that aching head ?
Try Ayer's Pills. They will relieve the
stomach, restore th e digestive organs to
healthy action, remove the obstructions
that depress nerves and brain, and thus
care yonr headache permanently.

POLITICAL.
Being absent some time, visiting
relatives and friends of Auld Lang
Syne among the Hoosiers, we drift
ed somewhat out of the channel of
the political current that is ebbing
aud flowing over the peaceful sur
face of Louisiana. Now it has
beeu onr pleasure tor sex eral days*
by a studious, perusal of the exchan
ges to endeavor ;to get ourself iu
proper position again.
It has beeu a hard task. We re
member distinctly, some weeks
ago, that a few of the self assumed
leaders of the Press, most empbati
callj told a few of the Editors in
Louisiana, who had the manliness
to mention the names of a few men
who would be suitable candidates
for Governor, at tbu approaching
election, that they must shut up,
that the campaign must becouduct
ed iu a dignified, gentlemanly man
tier, aud that if the canvass was
opened too early, it would become
one of vituperation, abuse aud
slander, that must by all means, be
avoided. Well, those very same
considerate Editors are now send
ing out their regular editions filled
with slander, unmitigated, unmerit
ed abuse of the best aud purest
men iu the State.
Every base rumor, that floats
about the streets, every crazy whim
of an infatuated fool is tortured iu
to columus of falsehoods aud slau
ders aud the man or men against
whom these charges are made is or
are called upon to dispose them
The dignity, decorum, ami honoi,that
was to characterise this campaign
is entirely forgotten, all of a sud
den.
One of the purest aud best men
that ever grew up ou the soil of
Louisiana, who is not, and has not.
been, a candidate for any office to
be filled at the next election, has
been chosen by these detainers as
the special object of their spite and
veuom.
Not even his own announcement
that he can not 'and will not be a
candidate will satisfy these mud
slingers.
The mud which is being so nu
justly thrown at this eminent mSu
will only recoil upon tho heads of
the mud slingers.
Not satisfied with abusing an Ex
Governor, they then turn upon the
present Governor in a similar
strain and uothing in the catalogue
of abuses can be found with which
he is not charged.
That which appears the most
siugular is that tho mud slingers at
tion, who failed to make a tool of
him to carry oat their individual
schemes, and those who are peltiug
McEnery are found in the ranks of
those who have failed to make him
bow to their owu private requests.
All honor to both of them for
their firmness and decision.
The friends of Nicholls, who
know that distinguished gentle
man, only smile at his villifiers and
pity them.
The defumers of McEnery are
only driving the lukewarm and un
decided to his support.
Nicholls are composed generally of
the sore heads of his Admiuistra
1
—The Supreme Court of the
United States has declared the mis
erable so called Civil Rights Bill
unconstitutional, null and void.
This places the negro precisely
where he should be, on an equality
with every man, be he white, black,
red or yellow.
He can now stand upon his mcr
its, and need not appeal to the
laws for privileges which white
men were not allowed.
This question is now settled for
ever, and it is to be hoped that the
nonsense of the Civil Rights Bill
will pass away into oblivion, among
tho other stupendous follies of the
late Repnblican Party.
—Small pox still lingers in Don
aldaonville.
colored people have been express
ing their sentiments pretty liberal
ly in regard to the effect of the late
decision of the United States Su.
preme Court, in which the so called
CIVIL RIGHTS.
The Leaders so-called, of the
Civil Rights' Bill has been pro
nounced unconstitutional. The ego
tism and brass of these blatant de
magoguesare wonderful. Douglass
rants like a bull in a china shop,
aud Bruce announces that this de
eisiou "will set the country back
fifteen years.' 7 ]f Bruce and the
whole African race were cast into
the midst of tho Atlantic Ocean it
would not set the country back fif
teen weeks.
The self importance and stupid
caut with which these colored beats
strix-e to make it appear that the
negro is the prime cause of the ad
vaucemcnt aud progress of this
great nation is becoming sickening
and disgusting. Tho African race
bears precisely the same relation
to the wonderful advancement ami
progress of the United States that
a twenty pound weight fastened on
to the hind wheel of a vvagou bears
to its forward movement.
Many colored people, who are la
boring to make an houorable living,
to be good and reliable citizens,
aid thus far in the national prosper
ity. They stand upon their iudivi
dual merit and are judged by it
the same as other men.
—The Sentinel lias abstained
from taking any active part in the
present discussion going on among
tbc papers in Louisiana in refer
ence to the future nominee of the
Democratic party for Governor. It
has no taste for the vituperative dc
bate with which the columns of
many papers are filled. It takes no
stock iu the uumerited abuse and
calumny heaped npon the heads of
McEnery aud Nicholls aud will m
dulge in uothing of the sort.
The Sentinel favors a fair and
honest nomination for candidates
for all the offices to be filled at the
next electiou.
—The Iberia Star has been advo
eating the nomination of Geu.
Nicholls for Governor, and filling
its columns With heavy arguments
in defense of its candidate. Now,
that Gov. Nicholls has publicly de
diced to allow his uame to be used,
the Editor of the Star has with
drawn into the very innermost re
cesses of his tent, pinned down the
® ur ^ a * QS ^ aI, fl declines to take any
turt ^ er interest in the approaching
campaign. This is very s«fi, as liis
powevlnl blows cracking over tlie
beads of his opponents were both
edifying and interesting. It is to
hoped however that tho campaign
will not be abruptly brought to a
close, as we would like to indulge
iu the skrimmage, after a while,
when the weather becomes cool.
If yon would have Appetite, Flesb, Co
lor, Strength and Vigor, take Ayer's Sarsa
parilla, which will confer them upon you
in rapid succession.
—From a copy of the San Anto.
nio Times of October 1, 1883, we
learu that Mr. J. Omer Landry, for.
merly of this town has been cele
brating his birth day and that "Mr
Landry is one of our best citizens,
who came out from New Orleans a
few years ago to cast his lot among
us, and we are glad to notice the
fact that ha is meeting with sue
cess, and is already considered one
of our solid business men."
NOTICE.
Reports having reached Tliibodaux that
Messrs. Lusignan & Boudreaux, Butcbeis
bad butchered a beef that had died on the
train, arriving at Terrebonne Station. On last
Wednesday, at the request of the Mayor of
Thibodaux I have thoroughly investigated
the matter and find the facts to be:
That one of tlie Beeves shipped to said
batchers had, on debarkiug from the cars at
Terrebonne Station, fallen and so seriously in
jured himself as to be unable to walk, when
be was immediately butchered in a proper
manner, and thoroughly hied. *
