"J 15 3* The New State House. Matter a will eoon begin to assume a lively aspect in and around the St. Louis Hotel— the new State House. The Governor yes terday gave orders to have the executive department transferred from Dryades street to St. Louis street, and they are being faithfully carried out. It is not im probable that the Governor and the at taches of his office will be comfortablv en sconced in their now and handsomely fitted np quarters to-day, as the work of remov ing was commenced yesterday. The Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Board of Stats Engineers, and other State officials, had also given orders to have the furniture, etc., of their offices moved to the apartments assigned them in the new State House, and their orders were also being executed yesterday. There will be ample and convenient accommodations for every department of the State government in the new State House, including commit tee rooms for the legislative department. The Senate Chamber and the hail of the House of Representatives wili be both ele gant and spacious, and are well adapted for the oratorical displays that are usual m law-making assemblies. The Senate Cham" her will present an appearance of grandeur when completed that will be well calculated to inspire lofty thoughts in the minds of the representatives of the people that will as semble in the higher branch of the Legisla. ture to make laws. It will take some time to get every de partment of the government, including the Supreme Court and the Board of Educa tion, located in their new quarters, but when once there, and everything in work ing order, it will not only prove a great publio convenience, but it will vastly im prove business in the neighborhood of the new State House. Murderers Lynched in Franklin Parish, Several weeks ago tie Republican gave tlie details of a horrible crime ou Bayou Macon, near its junction with the Tensas, whertia a Mr. Arbuckle was murdered in the presence of his wife, and his fiatboat robbed by three young men. They were subsequently identified. Oneof them, named Lewis, miuaged to escape, while two brothers, named A. B. and Thomas L. Norris, were arrested and incarcerated at Winusboro. These young men—twenty and twenty-four years ot age, respectively— were connected with some of the most re spectable families ol the parish, and their crime has excited an unusual amount of indignation. This feeling culminated, last Saturday, in a party of some thirty dis guised men visiting the jail, disarming the keeper, taking the brothers to a convenient tri-e and lynching them iuto eternity, with out benefit of clergy or a moment's respite for repentance. The record of Franklin parish has for rears been black with assas sinations and murders, but this latest crime has been unknown in the parish since the war till now. _ _ Jloney For the Teachers. The hearts of the teachers of the public schools will be giaddensd by the notice in another column from Supeiintendent Boothby, to the effect tint the rolls for the month of January will be paid on Saturday next, at Lyceum Hall. Tue officers of the Department of Finance, a: the City Hall, predict their ability to pay two additional months within the next thirty days. We hope sincerely that their belief may be realized, for the embarrassments of the teachers for the past few mouths, from the absence of funds to pay them, have been unusually sever e. __ Valuable Improved and Vacant Real Estate and Hereditary Rights at Auc tion by the Sheriff —We are requested to call attention to the sales at auction to ^ made this day at noon, at the Merchants and Auctioneers' Exchange, Royal street, by the sheriff of the parish of Orleans.

A special meeting of this body was held last evening, pursuant to call. President Oglesby, at a quarter to eight o'clock, called the meeting to order, and requested Mr. Seixas, who had signed the cail, to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Seixas 6ta*ed that the object of the meeting was to obtain the consent of the Chamber to take immediate action to recog nize the great good lately done us by Con gress in passing the Fort St. Philip canal bill, and also to consult concerning meas ures to forward the adoption of the bill by the Senate. As he was not well acquainted with the best moau9 of bringing the matter before the Senate, as he did not know or any member in that body to whom applica tion could bs made, he requested Mr. J. H. Kennard, who was specially familiar with the subject, to favor the Chamber with Mr. J. H. Kenuard offered the following resolutions: Whereas, The Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans have for many years, with re markable unanimity advocated the project of the Foit St. Philip Canal as affording the most certain and permanent «utlet from the Mississippi river to the ocean; and Whereas, The views of this Chamber have received the cordial Indorsement of a large majority of the United States Engineer Board: Resolved, That the passage of the Fort St. Philip canal biil by the lower house ot Congress affords to the Chamber convincing evidence that the nation's representatives recognize the great need ot the millions who inhabit the Mississippi valley and that the enactment into law of said measure will inspire all who dwell in this valley with new hope and dispel much of the gloom that now overhangs the material prosperity of Louisiana. 2. That our thanks are due and are hereby rendered to the special agents of the Chamber now in Washington, Pro fessor Forshey and Governor Hebert, as well as to those representatives in Congress who have so zealously and successfully ad vocated the bill. 3. That we respectfully renew our peti tion to the Senate and the President to complete the good work at this session, as our needs are most pressing, and delay id death to our commerce. The resolutions were unanimously adopt ed. President Oglesby suggested that a copy ot these resolutions be at once sent on to the Senate of the United States. Judge W. M. Burwell then took the floor exnlaiuing the status of certain prominent members of the Senate on the Fort St. Philip canal bill. He also referred to a late debate held in the Seuate regarding this scheme, and the probable amount of appro priât ion that might be obtained. Some discussion then ensued regarding the best method of getting the attention of the Senate to the scheme, and also the proper member of the Senate to whom these resolutions should be sent. Mr. Seixas then offered the following res olutiom Resolved, That these resolutions be trans mitted by telegraph to Senator Windom, of Minnesota, with a request that he present them to the Seuate on our behalf. Resolved, That the delegation of the Chamber in Washington be informed of this request, and instructed to co-operate with Senator Windoin iu pressing the adoption of these resolutions. On motion of Mr. D. V. Haildin, the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas. The Chamber cordially m dor.-es the Fort St. Philip canal, and has been sustained by a laige majority of the people of this State: and Whereas. The Legislature of Louisiana did, at its last session, adopt resolutions requesting the representatives of the State ia the Senate and House of Representatives to give their support to the Fort St. Philip canal bill: Resolved. That we respectfully request Hon. J. R. West, our Senator in Congress, to extend his active support to the Fort St. Philip canal bill. The secretary was instructed to send copies of these resolutions by telegraph to the various parties indicated therein. The Chamber then adjourned. Dueling by Moonlight. Abbeville this week comes in for a share of our space. Last Sunday night a per sonal difficulty arose between two of her most prominent citizens, Hon. Paulin Fon telieu and Sheriff G. B. Shaw, which in all probability will result in the loss of life. The particulars, as we understand them, are simply these: On the evening above referred to a num ber of persons were assembled at Blanc's Hotel, in connection with which is a coffee house. Drinking was indulged in, and as a natural consequence the imbibers soon felt the effect and talked as men generally do under such circumstances. Jokes and puns were passed upon various members of the company, and all thought that they were enjoying themselves exceedingly well. An old adage says "when whisky is in sense is out." which it appears held good in this case. Between twelve and one o'clock Shaw and Fontelieu had some misunder standing, and after exchanging a few words concluded to retire to the outskirts of town and settle it. Revolvers were procured, and the two men, who provious to that time had been fast friends, were soon on their wav to the dueling ground. Arriving at the' outskirts of town, the grounds were selected, twenty paces meas ured off by one of the seconds, and the principals placed in position. A moment was sufficient time for a few preliminary arrangements, and when the order to fire was given, two shots almost simultaneously rang out upon the still night air. Nobody being hurt, the order to fire was repeated, with a more serious re sult. This time, however, there was but one shot heard, as Fontelieu's pistol missed fire, while the ball from Shaw's took effect in'his opponent's forehead, entering directly over the eye and reappearing about two inches further back. Mr. Fontelieu in stantly fell to the ground insensible, and was carried to his reside nee, where a phy sioian was summoned and the wound prop dressed and cared JTor. .There are bat -»»iq.-iof J'Ä'SÄS. * * tan ^ certain lot of groop, situate«! in tlie same smiare as the lislf of lut of ground above üe Äiid'Ätf vliled bait or moiety o! said lot number two. and measuring, in American measure, thirty feet front on Berlin »treet.

The following decision was rendered on the eighteenth ultimo: State of Louisiana ex reh II. C. War moth vs. James Graham. Auditor.—Appeal from the Eighth District Court for the par ish of Orleans. ^Mr. Chief Justice Ludeling delivered the opinion of the conrt, as follow* The relator aveis that his salary as Gov ernor ot the State was duo him tor the pe riods from the sixth to the nineteenth of May, 1371, and from the twenty sixth of June to the seventeenth of July, 1871; that he drew his warrant therefor où the Auditor of Public Accounts, on Septembar 22,1871; that payment of this warrant was refused on the grounds that the relator was absent from the State during said periods, and that the duties and prerogatives of Governor de volved ou the Lieutenant Governor, to whom the salary of Governor for said pe riods had l>een paid. There was judgment in favor of the reiator, and the defendant appealed. The question to be decided is, does the absence of the Governor from the State for a few hours, or a few days, create a vacancy in his office, and authorize the assumption of the duties, prerogatives and emoluments thereof by the Lieutenant Governor daring said absence! The constitutional provisions on the sub ject are contained in articles fifty-three and fifty-four of the constitution. Article fifty three says: "In case ot impeachment of the Governor, his removal from office, death, refusal or in ability to qualify or to dischate the powers and duties of his office, resignation, or ab sence from the State, the powers and duties of the office shall devolve upon the Lieu tenant Governor for the residue of the term, or until the Governor, absent or im peached, shall return or be acquitted, or the disability be removed," etc. Article fifty-four declares that the officer discharging the duties of Governor during his administration shall receive the compen sation to which the Governor would have been entitled to. It is evident, if the Lieutenant Governor be authorized to exerci-:e the functions of the Governor duriDg any temporary absence of the Gov ernor from the State, be may also, when ever the Governor is unable to attend to the duties of his office on account of sickness, __________________ of on __________________ "inability to discharge the pow duties of hU office." We do not be I ^,'to be the meaning intended by l a ^ 10ra 0 f t - ne constitution. The in to discharge the duties of the office U as the absence from the State , n f j Q the article are such as would j r : arioiisly the public interests. The SJence at Pass Christian,, within a c.---------- - , . )Ur8 ' run of the capital, could not, by )S8 ibilltv, affect the public interests, • *■ * "-----*- *-■ i « the absence of the 'Governorto be theawed! It IS manifest that there OOght nfnnnrn i »• noAAf anonafii KIa Til tnA 3u to Ä- - — .. r , e j aw makes BO provision for UM ; a w hieh the -Governor shall manifest 1 L. Illl iiY ----r' the Stat*, it Maly is left to his discretion, subject responsibility to th* people. If interests of the State should suffer in con sequence of bis prolonged absence, he would be amenable to public sentiment and to the-control of the impeaching power of the State, Some public record shoul 1 be made of the intended absence, or the Governar should publicly pltce the Lioutenant Governor in charge of the government, so that the time of absence shall appear of reoord, and duriDg such absence the sets of the acting Governor would be of unquestionable validity. Any thing less than this might create confusion and uncertainty. We do not think it was ever contemplated that the movements of the Governor should be watched, with the view that the Lieutenant Governor or Speaker of the House of Representatives should slip into bis seat the moment he stepped across the border of the State. It is therefore ordered that the judgment f-tha lower court be affirmed with costs. Surveys of Water Rome«. The uudaished business of the Senate, June 4, being the resolution directing the Committee on Appropriation to report an appropriation providing for new surveys tor the four lines of internal improvements recommend« d by the select committee on transportation, was taken up. Mr. Frelingbuysen said that less than one hundred years age this great Western val ley was a'wilderness*but now in ten States and Territories there were 15,000,009 of people, and 23.000 miles of railroad, which cost about $1,500,000,000. The productions of this region were so great that it was not pos sible to get them to market. The State of New York alone had expended $39,000,000 upon internal improvements, and this great government should not in this instance hesitate to expend a fe w hundred thousands. There were now 67,000 miles of railroad in the country, which had cost $3,100,000,000, and yet they did not afford cheap transpor tation. Tbe reason for this was two-fold. First, the productions outnumbered tbe facilities of tbe roads, and, second, in these later times railroads had been built with bonds and stocks which did not represent capital. He expressed the opinion that it would be great error to undertake a system of canals. The experience of Pennsylvania in this line was instructive. He coincided with the view expressed by Mr. Oglesby yesterday, that the want new felt of cheap and abundant facilities for transportation could be best met by the construction of more railroads by private parties, under charters from Congress. Nature bad pro vided the only two waterways which could be used, the Gulf of Mexico in the Sontb and the great lakes in the North, the two connected by the Mississippi river. He advocated the construction of a canal at the month of the Mississippi and another acres* Florida, which would bring New Orleans G00 miles nearer New York. Mr. Bayard, in regard to the inexpe diency of constructing artificial water ways, oited the experience of Pennsylvania in the building of canals, and the abandonment of works by that State after involving it self in great expense and loss. He Would not at this time discuss the propriety of in trusting, under our system of government, such great works as are now contemplated, to government officials. He would now ad «lress himself to the question of the absence of power in Congress to enter into States and assume absolute control of works of in ternal improvement. He doubted whether the States would surrender their rigÿt of eminent domain. As yet there had been no jrecedent for tbe exercise of any such power ).y Congress, and all the decisions of the Supremo Court are perfectly plain in the contrary direction. The powers ot the fed eral and State governments were entirely distinct. The proposition involved in tHis resolution contained elements of centraliza tion far iu exc ss of anything yet proposed; it is another blow at local self-government, which is the best nurse and the best in structor that the citizens ot the republic can have. Thel-e was no necessity for the government embarking in this business. Highway connections existed everywhere, and no State had ever presented any obsta cle to transiSthrough it. Mr. Harvey read a long argument in favor ot an enlarged system of internal im provements. Mr. Gordon submitted amendments to the preamble to insert the words "or com petition encouraged by government aid,'' so as to road: "Cheap transportation can only be obtained through competition under government control, or competition encour aged by government aid;" and second, to insert the words "or by the extension of government ai«l to private corporations," so as to read: "The following are the most feasible and advantageous channels of com merce to be created or improved by the na tional government, or by the extension of government aid to private corporations." The amendments were rejected. Mr. Bogy proclaimed himself a strict constructionist and States rights man. The question of the power of Congress to con struct tbo works could be discussed after the surveys had been made. He now favored the resolution, and hoped the sur veys would be made. He moved to strike out tbe provisions that tbe improvements should be under government control. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, would vote to order the surveys, but with the distinct un derstanding that it should not commit him in any way to the gigantic system of im provements advocated by the committee.

The Times, in an editorial article oom menting upon the communication recently sent to various powers by the Spanish gov ernment, says it is hinted that the time ap proaches w'hen the Spanish government must be received in tbe pale of nations on terms of equality. If it be proved that the Carlist Generals are incapable of keeping the enemy at bay in Biscay and Navarre, tbe insurrection is likely to collapse. The limit of Carlist strength on Carlist ground is pretty well defined, and when the national army re sumes operations it is not likely to encoun ter resistance. These more cheerful prospects justify the Spanish government in making an ap peal to the public opinion of tbe world, and shonld Serrano maintain himself and establish a de facto government, we know of no reason why it should not be recog nized in tbe same manner as MaoMahon's.
