A WISE SELECTION.

| Without reference to the manner in
| which the claims of an aspirant for theil
inaersenea were ignored-a matter te
which we have referred elsewhere---we have
no hesitation in saying that the Democratic
executive committee of this parish eahib.
/ tied 1nuch foresight ana wisdom IN select,
| ing Gen. Jos. i. Brent as their nominee
for Representative. No better proof Oh
the correctness of this opinion is needed
than the fact that the candidate is not only
| acceptable to majority of his own party,
but has received the Endorsement OF one
| Republican faction and is being actively
supported by leading and influential mem
| bess Of the other. 1t is true that tire Legal
ity of the Republican committee that ac-
corded the Endorsement might easily be
contested, but the very fact that this ques-
ton has not beer raised, and that no action
has been taken by any other organization
of that party, is indicative Of general
feeling among the Republicans of the par
ish in favor of Gen. Brent's success and of
desire not to embarrass his candidacy by
infusing the disturbing element of a fac
tional quarrel into the campaign.
Gen. Brent was elected Representative in
1878 as the joint candidate of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, and his brief
service ia the General Assembly-eurtailed
by the adoption of the new constitution of
i679-was quite satisfactory to his constitu-
ents, white and colored, Republican and
Democratic. His fine abilities as scholar
and debater, his large local interests and
thorough familiarity with all questions of
public import, qualify him in an eminent
degree for the position of Representative.
The principles snane;ated and assurances
given in his letters of acceptance will un-
doubleday elicit the warm approval of the
people, and the public and private record
Of the candidate is sufficient guaranty Of
the sincerity of his declarations. The inn
partial and non-partisan course which he
promises to pursue as legislator, II
elected, will still further increase his
strength among the colored voters. He has
ever shown himself the friend Of their ed
ucational, moral and industrial advance
ment, and will be able TO accomplish more
in their interest in the present General As
sembly than any man of Their party OF
race whom they could possibly select.
Should the citizens of Ascension elect
Gen. Brent OH the 9Th of April-and there
is every prospect that they will do so-we
predict for him Legislative and political
career that will rebound to the advantage
and credit of our people, irrespective of
color, class or party.

tail being previous to a head was that of a

the appearance Of having just swal-

to- the bill introduced by Senator Wilson of
Iowa doubling the rate of postage on fourth
class matter. The success of this measure
you'd seriously cripple all those lines of bus
mess which depend upon the mails for the
transmission of goods, eua ii is evidently
framed in the interest of the express com
panies as contradistinguished from that of
the people at large. The present rate of
postage on matter ranking in the fourth
class-sixteen cents per pounds much
larger than that charged in Canada, Eng
sand, Germany and other foreign countries,
and if any change is nad9, it should be to
effect a reduction instead Of an increase of
the prevailing tariff.

to the comparative unimportance of and
lack of interest in the approaching election
