WE are requested, this week, to
announce the name of Gen. j. ID. G..
Atkins, of Henry county, as a candi-
date to represent this District in Con-
gress. We announced Hon. Dorsey b.
Thomas, last week, for the same posi-
ton, subject to the decision of Con-
vontiOn, and knowing, at the time, of
no conflicting claim, we placed his
name at the head Of our columns, with
the condition implied in announce
ments of this kind. But, as the mere
medium through which the names of
aspirants are made known to the peo-
pie, we do not assume to be the arbi-
traitor of the claims of the respective
candidates - especially when those
claims are anything like equally bal
lanced. And whilst we cheerfully ad-
NIT that we would be content to be re-
presented by either of these worthy
gentlemen, we are satisfied that differ
ences of opinion will spring up all
over the District, on this point, and
that the people will be forced to secure
harmony, either through the action of
Convention, or the fairer agency of
primary election. The August elec-
ton will afford the counties of the
District the desired opportunity to ex-
press their preference, BY opening a
ballot, not for Congressman, but for
a candidate at the November election
This simple expedient will supercede
packed conventions of intriguing poll
ticians, and do more to secure harmony
and abate the love of office-the cpl
demic Of which parties die-than any
plan we know of, because it will be
the act, direct, of the people them.

cheat or misrepresent them.

who have their triumphant way with con-
quered hearts, regard splendid head OF
all womanly facinations. They believe,
and they are right. they can lasso as many
beaux with the luXuriant ringlets and
glossy braids as they can "kill at sight "
with their beaming eyes. Hence in their
toilet talk among themselves and with
their attendants, the merits of Preparations

latest result of this discussion to be the al
most universal adoption of LYONS KA-

The old Jac0bins among the merchants Of this

three prices for goods for permitted New Workers.

racked their brains for some plan to defeat the ef

last hit upon the ingenious plan OF charging all
traders by sample, card, or solicitation, whether
resident or nonresident, the outrageously high
license fee Of $780, or II selling liquors. 5000. The
act has passed one branch OF the Territorial Legis
lature, and by the time this reaches you will have
passed the other and become a law. As this city
contains only two or three resident traders by sam

PUBLIC STATUES OMPETITION FOR THE
PARRAGUT MONUMENT.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your paper of which / have been reader for
twenty odd years. has been the best friend to
American art and artists In the land. This know;
but in your late idea OF urging the competition
plan" for great public works is surely mistake on
your part, and your advocacy Of the same will de-
feat the great object you have in view namely, the
Improvement of our public works OF art, especially
monuments to our great men. 1t looks like
square thing for the government OF the United
States to put forth proposals for beef Calico animal
traps, tobacco whiskey, &C. for the Indians, and
it would be equally fair for 1T to ask for bids upon
the erection mot desgns) OF public buildings,
bridges, &C., and, upon casual view, one would
suppose that asking for propositions, designs, &C,
for works Of art, they are similar, and should be
placed upon the same category with ordinary con-
tracts. In the one case 1t is purely commercial
transaction the government states plainly what it
wants; gives description of the articles, quality,
&C. and then asks who will furnish them at the
lowest figure 1t costs the bidders-who are
generally wealthy-nothing; but how different
with artists. They are asked to furnish designs
which in case can cost less than $500, taking
time and materials into consideration, and then
there is but chance in the present instance for
them to win. If ten artists compete nine Of them
must fall lose their time and meet the disappoint-
nentwhch defeat will surely bring. As general
thing sculptors are poor, and IL will require six
m0ntns 10 prepare Roou ueslRn. Inc government
refers the decision to committee OF Congressman,
who, in oil probability neither know or care any
thing about statues or monuments In the trial to
find out who can furnish the design which will best
suit the committee, the scuptors must DO the work
and bear the expense. l say that the five or six
thousand dollars which IL will take to try this
pertinent should be borne by the government That
amount Is nothing to the country but 1t 10 an i'm.
mense sum to artists.
nv plan is for the government to pay $1,000 for
each design furnished. This will give all q fair
chance. IL will be some inducement for artists to
enter, and will pay some young and struggling
genuises, who will gladly try their hands In the
race. Let the experiment be made at government
expense, not at the cost of time and money of the
artists, JUSTICE

CONFIRMATION OF ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILL
DREN.

The Most Reverend Archbishop OF New York con-
frmcd many hundreds OF children in the faith OF
the Roman Catholic communion, in the church Of
st. Vincent Ferrer yesterday. The scene was ex-
ceedingy impressive. His Grace delivered very
elegant and eloquent sermon to the congregation
subsequently, impressng on the minds OF the
children the importance OF the saving sacrament
which had just been administered to them, and
the dangers which awaited them in this world and
the hereafter If they wfuy violated the Christian
obligations which 1t imposed on them. A consOling
feature OF the ceremonial was the confirmation Of
large number OF orphan children from an insttu-
ton which is conducted by the Sisters OF the
church. They were neatly uniformed, quite intel
ligent, and exceedingly well instructed in the
PRINCIPLES of Christianity.
