A WORD IN SEASON.

The time for making our parish nominations
is approaching, and we deem it not inexpedi-
ent or unwise to press upon the people who
are united in opposition to Raaicalisn the Sc
rious consideration Of the suggestions made by
Us in our issue Of July last, 9TH inst. in re-
gard to the mode Of selecting candidates for
city and parish offices.
1t is the earnest desire of every man who
has the true interests Of the people at heart, to
see the very best and ablest men selected, and
there is widespread feeling to the effect that
| this will not certainly be the case if the nomi-
| nations be left to q convention where design
ing and ambitious men too often manage to
control enough votes to thrust out deserving
citizens and seure the offices for themselves
or their friends.
Let us avoid, therefore, the dangers which
threaten Us in a convention let every regis
tered voter express his preference for candi-
dates at the primary elections, and let the
candidates for the variol,s offices receiving the
highest number Of votes be declared the regu-
lar nominees. In this easy and practicable
for place which has, from time out of mind
been insepambly connected with parish con-
ventions, and the very thought Of which gives
one an incipient nightmare.
This is Just one time when we wish to see no
nonsense on our side Of the house, and when
the man who places his own selfish aims
above the good Of this whole people. will be
stiglnatized IL demagogue and dangerous
citizen. Already the wirc-puler. are at work
on possible delegates to the expected conven.
ton. and unless the people most deeply inte.
rested arouse themselves, may have a set
Of nominees that neither they nor the BULLE.
TIN can support. We desire it to be distinctly
understood that the BULLETIN holds itself free !.
to applaud or to censure the action Of the con. |
vention. if one be unwisely called. and that !

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN con.
YENTION.

! REPRESENTATIVE MEN TO BE PRESENT.
! The New York Tribune. in speaking of the
probable composition Of the proposed Southern
Republican Convention. designed to inquire
into and report upon the condition of the
Southern States, says:
1t ought not to be difficult to select few
score of eminent Southern Republicans who
will fairly represent the men g inside politics. :"
in whose interest they are to be assembled.

The Rep,l'iro' charges the Br1rrT.v with
being dull and monotonous because we re-
terred in complimentary terms to one Of the
Baton Rouge nominees for Congress. Every

can as dull and stupid. and its curious fancy is
never tickled except by first class invention.

TO THE RESCUE.

The Rep'A1'ron informs us that J,,,lye Andrew
Dumont is the Senatorial nominee from Pla
quelnines. and not Dandy Mahonev as VIZ

Of the "organ' in keeping the run Of the

He. too. we presume. being a Republican, is
an "honest. able. and intelligent man." and
