years as the number Of days saved for working

pears as president and figure head. A GER
tain convocation of self-styled reverends,
having nothing little to do in the regular
way of theology. recently undertook to tin
ker with the political machinery of Jefier-
son parish. Their first move was to con-
denim everything that had been done by the
voters, upon the hypc thesis probably. that
the people did not know what they wanted.
Being enlisted in the interests of Democ-
racy. they very naturally selected the Times
as their organ, although resolution was
adopted directing their secretary to publish
their resolutions in the New Orleans RE-
PUBLICAN and the Carrollton Register. No
application has been made at this office for
such publication. and it is likely none was
made to the office OF the Register.

The Nidalia journal gives the following
notice of David Young, who has been nomi-
mated for member of the House from Con
cordia parish:


David Young. one of the nominees for
the lower House of the Legislature, is a
coloied gentleman, and was member of
the last Legislature. He has some educa-
ton, and represented his constituents with
much credit to himself, and always to the
interest Of the people of his native State,
considering that he was but recently a
slave We think he deserves, and should
receive, much credit and praise among the
people with whom he lives. Their inter
ests are safe in his hands. His sound .judg-
ment and great urhanity OF manners have
secured him a nomination. His election is
sure.


Mr. Young is a wealthy merchant in our
town. and the first individual that organized
the Republican party in said place We
are happy to say, without fear OF contra
diction whatever, that he has given the
freedom of his store, on many occasions, for
honest and upright purposes. In the year
1867 the first Republican club was organized
in his store, and since that time its progress
has been great and fruitful. 1t is 4 gratif-
cation. and likewise Il pleasure, to know
that he is g gentleman universally re
spectcd by all classes of society. both white
and colored. His private character is well
known in and around this locality for
Justice. integrity, and faithfulness i'll the
discharge of any duty intrustcd to his care.
We wish him every success in his present

that he is the most fit person us Represen-

THE DIRECT IMPORTATION OF DRY GOODS
INTO THIS CITY.-There are few facts con-
nected with this business to which we wish
to direct the attention of such of our coun-
try and city merchants, who have usually
been in the habit of going to the Eastern
cities to replenish their stocks. We have
in cur city equal facilities for importing to
those found in any other locality in the


Union-as capable buyers, as experienced
merchants, and sufficient capital. Mr.. ID.
II. Holmes. whose immense establishment
is the admiration OF every visitor to this
city, and which ornaments Canal street, re
sides constantly in France, and does moth
in. else but buy goods from first hands for
his house. He has had long and intimate
acquaintance with our people, and knows
exactly what they require. and what VIII
please them. There is no guess work about
his buying, or CROPPING about IN the dark, he
deals with ccrtainties-his selections are
bound to suit. Then. by his giving tins I'M
portant branch his personal attention, ana
not hiring others to do it for hun, ne
saves large salary. and can thus afford to
sell the goods proportionately cheaper
There is no intermediate profit to be pad
by the buyer either in this case, for he gets
the goods with only the profit made by hr'
Holmes, while if he bought of the wholesale
dealer at the North he would have to pay
an extra profit to the dealer. 1t need not
surprise anybody, therefore, that Mr.
Holmes sells cheaper at retail than the
houses at the North job their goods, anu
that the goods are better suited to Our mar
let. We advise our readers to pay the
house visit and see his new goods

COMPLIMENTARY TO GEN. r. E. LEE
The New York Express, in commenting
on the surrender of Sedan, alludes to
Gen. R. E. Lee in the following compli-
mentary manner:


1--WE can only infer what might be
done from what really was done during
our own rebellion. The Confederate
General Lee, with a half naked, half
starved army, or remains of an army, of
some forty or fifty thousand men, we all
know, held Gen. Grant at bay for some
six months with 2C0,0 men, more or
less, and only surrendered when the
commissariat had distributed the last
crust and the last ounce Of powder. If
that French army at Sedan had had
leaders with some of Lees brains and
pluck, Frenehmen would not have had
to blush to-day for so inglorious a sur
render"

GERMAN SHIPPING.-lt is stated, on
good authority, that over one hundred
German steam and sailing vessels are
now in the port of New York. They lay
there at an average cost per day to the
owners Of about thirty thousand dollars.
If Congress had not been under the con-
troll Of New England Radicalism, and
pledged to maintain the pet interests and
high protective theories of that section,
all this valuable shipping would before
this time have found ample protection
under the American flag. Of course Ger
mans, and the friends Of Prussia, will
duly appreciate this unmistakable evil
dence of Radical sympathy for their Fa-
derland, and vote for the Radical Know
Nothings who now rule poor, oppressed
Louisiana. Not much will they, we
guess.

n town which we will call Middletown,
n because it was of the middle size, dwelt
worthy shopkeeper, bearing the odd name
Of jeremiah Wag. BY dealing in all sorts
of commodities, and steady attention to
his business, he managed to keep up his
considerbly increased his store, but for the
gradual increase of his family. For sew
eral years after his marriage little Wag
was ushered annually into the world and
though there had latterly been somewhat
less of regularity,as many as ten small heads
might be counted every evening i'll his back
parlor. jerry, the eldest boy, was, however,
almost fourteen years of age, and therefore
began to "make himself useful" by carry
ing out small parcels and assisting behind
the counter. All the rest were, to use their
parents phrase, "dead stock" and were
seating their heads off - for sooth to say,
they were a jolly little set, and blessed
with most excellent appetites. Such was
the state Of family matters at the time
when our narrative commences.


Now, on the opposite side of the street,
exactly facing the modest board on which
Jeremiah's name was painted, with the
usual announcement of certain commodi-
ties in which he dealt, was another board
of very different description. On it were
emblazoned the arms of her majesty, with
the supporters, a lion, and a unicorn as the
country folks said, ga fighting for the
CROWN"


The establish ment indicated by this dis
play was upheld by q very different class of
customers to that which patronized the
shop. Two or three times in each day
some private carriage of postchaise would
stop 20 change horses at the Kings Arms,
and occasionally 'family'' took up their
quarters there for the night but the latter
was piece of good luck not often to be ex-
pected, as there were no lions to be seen in
Middletown save the red rampant guardian
on the signboard.


1t was haymaking time, and business was
very "slack" with the worthy jeremiah ;
but he said he didn't care much about it,
as the country folks were earning money,
part of which he trusted would find it's way
into his till in due course. So, after ruma-
ging about among his stock to see if he was
scout of anything" he took his stand at
the door, just to breathe mouthful of
fresh air. Titus Twist, the landlord, made
his appearance at the same moment in his
own gateway, apparently with the same sa-
lubrious intent, and Immediately beckoned
to his neighbor just to step across.


"Well, how are you, Master Wag p" said
he, when they met " Did you observe
that fine green chariot that is stand
ing down in the yard there, and came in
over an hour ago?" jeremiah answered
in the negative. swell, continued mine
