AUGUSTUS RICHMOND.

We can hardly claim to know
the subject of our sketch init
mately, and yet some few days
ago we mentioned him as a can
didate for alderman Of the sew
enth ward of the city of Little
Rock, Ark, we feel that we know
him well enough for that. and
mean what we say. and believe he
would make one of the most eff
cient aldermen of the city, and
one that his ward could feel
proud in honoring. lie has a
mind of his own and every essen>
tial personal qualification; this
much we say in his behalf be-
cause some of his personal friends
claim he will be controlled by
older aldermen, because he has
not had any experience as pub
lie officer. lie has acquired a
good common school education,
as he grew up, which he has con-
stantly improved and added to.
lie has taught in our public
schools tor four years, and made
one of the best teachers in the
employ of the board, and resigned
as teacher to accept a position in
the post office under Col. Edger-
ton, where he has been promoted
to that of superintendent of the
letter carriers and assistant mail
ing clerk, which alone shows that
he is not idle and thoughtless,
and we cannot judge better of
mans qualifications than to see
how he progresses and manages
his own affairs. He is a carpen-
ter by trade, having been taught
by his venerated farther to always
lean and depend upon his own
resour, es in life, and when he
takes hold of anything and says
it must be done, it is uniformally,
finally finished and no one has
ever questioned his honor and in
tegrity in any relation of life.
These few passing hints of what
we merit mention of him whom
we consider a good citizen, and
prominent candidate for alder
man of the seventh ward, and
hope the citizens of said ward
will all turn ont and indorse him
and show to our young men when |
they become qualified they will
be called upon to lead in life, as
long as they do so with honor to
their constituents and credit to

PULASKI COMPROMISES.

From enquiries among the po-
litical manipulators, we learn
that there is but one thing that
clogs the wheels, and that is plac-
ing j f Rector who is a candl-
date for circuit clerk, an office
the democrats don't like to con-
cede. They say, let them have
county clerk, circuit clerk and
county treasurer and the repubc
lcans can have the balance OF
the county perquisites. In reply
to them we have been credltably
informed that if the republican
state executive committee will
recommend } f Rector, or some
other competent colored man to
fill the vacancy, in case Col. Ed
gerton Is elected sheriff, that
Rector is willing to relinquish his
claims to the circuit clerkshlp
for that of postmaster. Let's
