The Jefferson R0itcra.

.We inadvertently omitted to call atten-
tion on Sunday morning to the card Of G..
G. Fisk, Esq, relative to the bolting per
sons of jefferson, of which his father APP
pears as president and figure head. A GER
tain convocation of self-styled reverends,
having nothing little to do in the regular
way of theology. recently undertook to tin
ker with the political machinery of Jefier-
son parish. Their first move was to con-
denim everything that had been done by the
voters, upon the hypc thesis probably. that
the people did not know what they wanted.
Being enlisted in the interests of Democ-
racy. they very naturally selected the Times
as their organ, although resolution was
adopted directing their secretary to publish
their resolutions in the New Orleans RE-
PUBLICAN and the Carrollton Register. No
application has been made at this office for
such publication. and it is likely none was
made to the office OF the Register.
The action 4 these saints has been pretty
generally repudiated by the party, and even

to preserve his self-respect TO protest

For Representative from C0ncordia.

The Nidalia journal gives the following
notice of David Young, who has been nomi-
mated for member of the House from Con
cordia parish:
David Young. one of the nominees for
the lower House of the Legislature, is a
coloied gentleman, and was member of
the last Legislature. He has some educa-
ton, and represented his constituents with
much credit to himself, and always to the
interest Of the people of his native State,
considering that he was but recently a
slave We think he deserves, and should
receive, much credit and praise among the
people with whom he lives. Their inter
ests are safe in his hands. His sound .judg-
ment and great urhanity OF manners have
secured him a nomination. His election is
sure.
Mr. Young is a wealthy merchant in our
town. and the first individual that organized
the Republican party in said place We
are happy to say, without fear OF contra
diction whatever, that he has given the
freedom of his store, on many occasions, for
honest and upright purposes. In the year
1867 the first Republican club was organized
in his store, and since that time its progress
has been great and fruitful. 1t is 4 gratif-
cation. and likewise Il pleasure, to know
that he is g gentleman universally re
spectcd by all classes of society. both white
and colored. His private character is well
known in and around this locality for
Justice. integrity, and faithfulness i'll the
discharge of any duty intrustcd to his care.
We wish him every success in his present
undertaking. We are decidedly of opinion
that he is the most fit person us Represen-
tative for the House. We entertain from
reliable source), no fear OF his being unanl-
rJllsly elected.

THE DIRECT IMPORTATION OF DRY GOODS
INTO THIS CITY.-There are few facts con-
nected with this business to which we wish
to direct the attention of such of our coun-
try and city merchants, who have usually
been in the habit of going to the Eastern
cities to replenish their stocks. We have
in cur city equal facilities for importing to
those found in any other locality in the
Union-as capable buyers, as experienced
merchants, and sufficient capital. Mr.. ID.
II. Holmes. whose immense establishment
is the admiration OF every visitor to this
city, and which ornaments Canal street, re
sides constantly in France, and does moth
in. else but buy goods from first hands for
his house. He has had long and intimate
acquaintance with our people, and knows
exactly what they require. and what VIII
please them. There is no guess work about
his buying, or CROPPING about IN the dark, he
deals with ccrtainties-his selections are
bound to suit. Then. by his giving tins I'M
portant branch his personal attention, ana
not hiring others to do it for hun, ne
saves large salary. and can thus afford to
sell the goods proportionately cheaper
There is no intermediate profit to be pad
by the buyer either in this case, for he gets
the goods with only the profit made by hr'
Holmes, while if he bought of the wholesale
dealer at the North he would have to pay
an extra profit to the dealer. 1t need not
surprise anybody, therefore, that Mr.
Holmes sells cheaper at retail than the
houses at the North job their goods, anu
that the goods are better suited to Our mar
let. We advise our readers to pay the
house visit and see his new goods
