The present was received last Wed- ] ueeday, and is not only an nnique I and fitting one, but is costly, useful and really ornamental.

The seventh Constitutional Con p vention of Louisiana has adjourned sine die, and its work goes to the peo ple for ratification or rejection, at a - grand election, which comes off on OR Tuesday, December 2d, 1879. The Debt Ordinance passed the 'S. Convention by a vote of 71 yeas to 41 nays. Delegates White and Bol VN ton, of this Parish, voted yea, and delegate Luckett voted nay, his rea sons for this vote are given else where. This Ordinance at the elec ans tion will be voted for or against sep irk arately, and all will have a fair chance to take a "whack" at it. The ° Ordinance provides for the payment of two per cent interest for five years three per cent for fifteen years, and 9 four per cent thereafter, the bond holders to have the option of refund lng at seventy-five cents on the dol lar, with four per cent interest, and the further option of taking curren cy bnds of the denomination of $5 0o and upwards. The tax limit for all 0 purposes is fixed at six mills, not 6 more than three mills of which is to 1 be appropriated to pay the interest on the public debt. The best proof to us that this Ordinance will prove satisfactory to the masses of people is, that the New Orleans Times says, "it is a substantial triumph to the re n- pudiatore." in We feel that we cannot devote too b, much of our space to the doings of this Convention, therefore we cull several important sections of the Or dinance on Schedule, which will post our readers carefully and ahead of the full publication of the new Con at stitution. The Judiciary Ordinance will be found in full on our first page, and here are the important sections: v. ART. 1. The Constitution of this t State, adopted in eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, and all amendments there. to, is declared to be superseded by this Constitution, and in order to car im ry the same into effect, it is hereby de he clared and ordained as follows: ART. 2. In order that no inconve nience may result to the public service from the taking effect of this constita rn tion no office shall be superceded there an by, but the laws of the State relative I to the duties of the several officers ex- I ecutive, judicial and military-shall remain in full force though the same n, be contrary to this constitution, and In the several duties shall be performed I , by the respective officers of the State according to the existing laws until the organization of the government under this constitution and the entering into ly office of the new officers to be appoin ,l- ted or elected under said government and no longer. n' ART. 3.

Immediately after the ad journment of this Convention the Gov- I e ernor shall Issue his proclamation, di 1. recting the several officers of the State, authorized by law to hold elections for members of the General Assembly, to I c- open and hold a poll in every Parish a. in the State, at the places designated by law upon theefirst Tuesday in the month of December next, 1879, for the purpose of taking the sense of the good 1 Speople of this State in regard to the r? adoption or rejection of this constitu- I tion; and it shall be the duty of said Sofflers to receive the votes of all per ae sons entitled to vote under the con , stitution of 1868.

A subject for debate had been soe lected by several of the gentlemen, i but Mr. Dulaney was the'only one who had prepared an argument. in The subject chosen was "Education Y or Money;" which has the greatest , influence? Mr. Dulaney took .the s, side of Education, and made a pow erful argument in favor thereof. of The "Professor," our popular Hon re orary member, with the assistane of e other obliging musicians, discoursed ,. sweet music, and the dance which )f followed the spirituel, was spirited.

P RIVER NIEWS. iy The river is about on a stand still, n- and is as low as she ought to get;- er the recent showers swelled her up an n- inch and did not help navigation much. The Pool-Liners have had a o- tolerably hard time of it, the past ct week, and from the bad state of the 's river, and dull times generally, n, have decreased in numbers and are doubling on us. Id The Alexandria left New Orleans Gh late at night on Wednesday, with to many of the Delegates, a very heavy i- freight and the river mail, and at the " Mouth took along the Tuesday mail, s which reached there behind time on is the big Thompson Dean. On her id way up she broke one of her engines, causing her much loss of time, be e. sides coming up with the use of one u, engine only, and did not reach here ie till Sunday morning. She discharg t. ed her cargo at the Upper Falls, n turned it over to the little Frank t Willard, and returned to the City e flying light in her crippled condi. r. tion. She started down at daylight Monday morning. Her clerks sup 1. plied this office with. plenty of late ,f papers. d The little daisy of the Pool Line, b the Cornie Brandon, reached here I. early Monday morning, having left ýe Shreveport Saturday evening. Her s clerks supplied us with Saturday n papers 12 hours ahead of the mall d and the Packet. e The Corne Brandon, for this trip, 1. has double work. She went down the river and met the Silver City and returned with her here, and took Sall her freight for Grand Ecore and r coastwise, as well as her Shreveport 5 freight, and left at sunrise for her n destination. The Silver City had a good freight I for the water, reached here late Mon dclay night, had the United States e mail and two big bundles of papers for this office. --TUE red tape policy of the Post Office Department, at Washington, is continually tinkering and chang- E sing the schedule on our laud route 4 c from the Mouth of the River, and have at last got it in a pretty mud- 4 I die.

But some interested and dyspeptic d-n phool , lodged a complaint that the Contrac- t for had failed to make red tape sche , dule, and at once orders came that the stage must leave the Mouth at r sharp 5 o'clock p.x. Those that are a a bound must obey, so Colonel McGin - nis, the manager of the line here, f gave orders a cordingly. Since then I the stage on Thursdays comes light and empty, and leaves the Mouth I about an hour before the present slow substitute of the great B. E. SLee, the Thompson Dean, reaches that point, and consequently this im Sportant mail of ours remains stored at the Mouth forty-eight hours, and a we receive it with the one brought ,by the ever reliable Pargoud, which . can't be kept from making time. In . a word, we only receive one of our . three mails regularly and on time, and the other two are fourteen and Sforty eight hours behind time, and Sall simply on account of the foolish l and useless new order to leave at 51 o'clock P. . and run away from these 1 two mails. --TaP weatlher in England has i Sbeen so bad and unfavorable to a pro- a Iductive ha:vest that the ctrcum stance is treated as a national calam- I ity, like war or pestilence, and Arch-1 bishop Taft, of Canterbury, has writ ten to the bishops of some of thei English dioceses to request their clergy to offer up special prayers for a more propitious season at the in Igathering ofthe crops.
