The Republicans of Ascension
met in convention ON the 9th inst,
and nominated their parish ticket.
Honest and capable men We're selected,
and the Republicans of that parish are
to be congratulated for the good judg-
ment exercised in the selection of the
best men. Among those who received
nominations we notice that of L. E.
Bentley, the amiable and intelligent
young editor of that stauuchest of Re-
publican Journals, the Donaldsonville
CHIEF, who received the nomination
for Clerk of Court. Mr. Bentley needs
no comment at our hands suffice it to
say that he is both capable and
honest, and "a sound Republican. The
other that we notice is that of Mr.. w.
w. Buford for Recorder. He is a
whole team iD himself, and the Re-
publicans of that parish, could not
have made a better selection. The
selection of FL. O. Maher for Parish
Judge, and Peter A. Jones for Sheriff,
are excellent and will bring out the
entire vote of their party, with CON
siderable from the Democracy. The
Republicans. of Ascension can now
rest assured of marching on to victory
in nNovemher.-Lafourche Onion.

LETTER FROM ST. MARY.

EDITOR CHIEF:
The Republicans of Ascension par
ish may be pleased to hear of the do
ings of two or their leaders and what
is thought of them in st. Mary parish.
Senator Pierre Landry and Judge
Morris Marks have addressed meet
ings here and aJ Franklin, where they
have accompanied Congressman Dar-
rail- and Senator Burch, and left none
but pleasingimpressions behind them.
Many had heard Of Senator Landry
previous to his arrival, but few were
prepared for the solidity and elo-
quence which characterized his
speeches. As faithful deliEeator
of the proper relations which should
exist between the two races, void of
all exhibition of harsh criticism of
opponents, the Senator excels. You
are fortunate in possessing such a
leader, and his pilgrimage through
the district will be productive of good.
He is an example of the newly en-
franchised citizen who will force re-
spect for the cause of his race.
Judge Marks addressed himself
mainly to his white auditors, aud
gave them truths in sweetened NOR
sells, which were productive of con-
siderable comment. He was compli-
mented by some of his opponents for
the excellent manner in which he
presented his points against Democ-
racy and he has undoubtedly set some
of them to thinking. We shall want
TO hear from both of these gentlemen
again, and st. Mary is always hearty
in the reception of friends. All united
here. Yours etc, EB.

Thus far in the local canvass the
characteristics developed have been,
viz:
First-The Republicans have mod
estly but firmly claimed their right
tn be heard they have conceded vir-
tues to the candidates of their oppo-
nents upon the mere claimto posses
sion; they have sought the ascend
ancy of mind over brute force.
Second-The Democracy have vio-
lently asserted right to rule which
is inherent only in majority, which
they have not developed; they have
used coarse and vulgar language in
every reference to honorable oppo-
nents whose peers their party would
be honoring itself to produce; they
allege IA fixed determination to carry
the approaching election, despite laws
or opposing majorities.-N. O. Re
publican.

CATIONS made by the health depart
ment of that city are not of char
acter to reassure timid people. The
official who made the investigation,
though giving it as his opinion that
it is not yellow fever, admits that he
is not at all certain about it; and
from his description of the cases
they certainly have wonderful SINH
larity to the dreaded desease. The
rate of mortality-quite half of those
attacked dying-strengthens the sus-
picion that it is nearer the genuine
yellow jack" than the Officials are
disposed to admit; and it is matter
of wonder that with the unusual num-
Der OF visitors from the South, dozens
of localities have not been infected.

MAILING A CAMPAIGN LIE.-The
Columbus correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times wrote as follows, under
date OF September IA:
The latest cheerful campaign story
which is now having iun through
the Democratic papers of the country,
charge that Governor Hayes wrote "a
letter on the 5th of July, 1876, to
Samuel j. Tyler, Secretary of the
American Alliance, in which he ac-
cepted membership in a secret politi
cal society and offered the sentiment
that suffrage and the right to hold of
fee should be limited to persons born
in this coutry. In regar'sto this husi-
ness your correspondent is authorized
to state
First-Gov. Hayes never wrote any
such letter.
Seconti-He never belonged to Sc
cret political society, and would not,
under any circumstances, join one.
Tbira-The sentiment imputed to
him as well as the act is totally repug-
nant to every act and belief of his life
Fourth-There ia not one word of
truth, or truth semblance even, in
any OF the charges. They ere COM
Iiete fabrications.

INGERsoLL's PORTRAIT OF TILDEN.
Col. Robt. Ingersoll, the golden
tongued orator of the West" draws
the following portrait of the great re-
former who won't be elected President
i'll November.
Samucl j. Tiltlen is an attorney.
He never gave birth to IN elevated or
noble sentiment in his life. He is Il
kind of legal spider watching in IA
web of technicaIities for victims. He
is.a eompound Of cunning and heart
lessneSs, of beak and claw and fang.
He is one of the few men who can
grab il railroad and hide all the deep
cuts, tunnels, bridges, aud culyerts ia
a single night. He is q corporation
wrecker. He is n demurrer filed by
the Confederate Congress. He waits
ON the shores of the SEA of bankruptcy
TO clutch the drowning by the throat.
He would not save his country if he
could. He swore he paid his income
tax and he swore to lie. He knew
It, he was never married. Tam
many was the only maiden he ever
clasped to his withered and heartless
breast. He courted men because wo-
men eau not vote, and he has adopted
a rag baby that really belongs to a
person whose name is Hendricks alias
" REFORM At present his principal
business is explaining, or trying to
explain, how he came to a0Out that
child.

ofthe steamer Timmie Baker has been
raised. The hull was but slightly
damaged and the engines and wheel
not injured at all. The wreck has
been sent to New Orleans where the

pitious season for gathering crops

crops will fall considerably short of
expectations but fortunately our peo-
pie have made good corn crops, and

tended the temporary organization of

lieving it to he their only salvation.
Work will probably be commenced
