It is a long document, necessarily, from the great number of changes from former con stitutions of the State, and the more express and definite provisions and limitations, which the experience of the last quarter of a century and the great progress in cbnstitutional re form and ideas have demanded. 'The constitution proper consists of 264 articles; that of 1868, which it supersedes, consisted of 161 articles; that of 1852 of 155 articles; that of 1845 of 153 articles, and the originaland first constitution of 1812 of 100 articles. The additional numbet of articles in our new constitution mark the progress in con stitutional ideas and necessities during the long and eventful period of Louisiana's exist ence as a State. The science of governmental structure has kept pace with the wonderful development of every other branch of science and knowledge. Our late Convention was composed of gentle men, many of whom had thoroughly studied and mastered the new ideas developed during the last half century. They weore greatly aided by the studies and labors of the consti tution-makers of other States which have re cently revised or reorganized their State governments, notably by the conventions of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Texas, to whom they are indebted for some of the wisest pro visions of the new instrument. In thus availing itself of the practical ex perience and results of these States, our Con vention illustrated its most striking and commendable characteristic, and, we may add, a characteristic of the age. This is a constant reference to the circumstances and conditions of the State, a practical adapta bility to the demands of the will and charac ter of the people, and an application of effica clous remedies to the abuses and evils from which our people have so greatly suffered. Their method has been the laconlan instead of the old style of constitution-making of the closet philosophers and statesmen, who. like Sir Thomas More, prepared a frame of government for an imaginary community, or like John Locke, who, in his study at Oxford, wrote a constitution for North Carolina, which, by its lack of adaptability to the peo ple and their circumstances, proved an amus ing fiasco and was quickly abandoned by that unlettered commuutty. Our constitution-makers have exhibited a thorough knowledge of the present demands of our people. They have even changed and d modified abstract principles where experience c had demonstrated their inapplicability and t obsoleteness. At the same time, they have carefully conserved and guarded more strictly those fundamental doctrines of republican d truth and principle which are eternal, un r, changeable and applicable to all free commu r nities, and which are essential to enforce the e guarantee of the Federal government to every State of a republican form of government. The guarantees of our new constitution are 5 more spelfice and practical than those enu 1 merated in former instruments. The 3 first of these is the distribution of r the powers of the government into three a distinct departments, and the emphatic in hibition to any one of the departments or to any person or collection of persons holding oflice in one of them, from exercising power properly belonging to either of the others, except in instances expressly directed or per 'f mitted by the constitution. Y Herein is embodied the form and substance a of a republican government. And the gov ' ernment thus constituted is subjected to the t control of certain principles of freedom and popular rights, which are enumerated, as in I all other constitutions, In the form of a bill of rights. 1 The Bill of Rights. This bill includes all those guarantees which are set forth in all our constitutions, but with a much more distinct, precise and intelligible definition of the powers of government and the rights of the people than has been given by previous constitutions. This is article 1, which declares that all government of right originates with the people, is founded on their will alone, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole, deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed; its only legitimate end is to protect the citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and when it assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppres sion. This declaration, with the last article of the Bi3 of Rlights, may be said to embody the whole doctrine of Democracy. That last article provides: The enumeration of rights shall not be construed to deny or impair other rights of the people not herein expressed. In other words the government Is limited in its powers to the express grants of the consti tution, in regard to all rights reserved to the people, whether enumerated or not in the fore going bill. On this corner-stone our Convention h.as constructed a constitution which appears to us to be admirably adapted to give effect to the guarantees of the rights and the expres sion of the will of the people. The Legislature. A General Assembly is created upon a fair and just apportionment, composed of a Sen ate of thirty-six members, and a House of Rep resentatives not toexceed ninety-eight nor be less than seventy, to be apportioned accord ing to the total population of the State, each parish to have at least one Rep resentative. The General Assembly, thus constituted, is to meet at the capital on the second Monday of May, 1880, at noon, and biennially thereafter. Its first session may extend to ninety days, all subsequent sessions art to be limited to sixty days. The Legislature is to be elected every four years. The qualifications of members of the General Assembly are seriously changed in respect to the require ment of residence in the State and district. This must be five years for the State and two years for "he district. Removal from either vacatesthe seat. The pay of members is fixed at four dollars per day and actual traveling expenses. They can hold no other o ffice nor be eligible to any office created by them. The usual restrictions as to the mode of pass ing laws are provided, together with additional and wise restraints on hasty or confused legis lation. Expenses are restricted to very low figures; stationery and printing are to be given out to the lowest bidder, and only to citizens, on contracts to be approved by the Governor, Speaker of.the House and Presi dent of the Senate. But it is under the head of "i.mitations of Legislatiye Powers" that the greatest, moet- tmportat and 'vaIable changes have been made in our State consti tutton. 1 These are too numerous, and their effects . and beneficial influence too large and pompre 1 hensive to be treated in the compass of this t article. We reserve them for consideration In e a future editorial. The Executive Department. In the Executive Department, the changes from the old system are not so great. These changes relate principally to the qualifications and emoluments of the officials of this depart ment. The qualifications of Governor and Lieu tenant Governor are fixed, as to age, at thirty years; residence in the United States and State, ten years, Ho is ineligible if a mem ber of Congress within six months immedi ately preceding the election. The Lieutenant Governor has the same duties as are now 3 assigned him, but will receive only double the pay of a member of the Generel Assembly. The Governor's salary is fixed at $4000. His duties and powers are pretty much the same as provided In the constitution of 1868, except that there is a very wise restriction on the pardoning power, which requires that no pardon shall be given except on the recom mendation of the Lieutenant Governor, Attor ney General and the presiding judge of the court in which the applicant was convicted. In the offices of Auditor, Secretary of State and Treasurer no serious changes are made, save in emoluments. The Au ditor Is salaried at twenty-five hundred and the Treasurer at two thousand dollars. All fees are prohibited, and the expenses of their offices are limited, for the Auditor at five thousand dollars, the Treasurer at two thousand, and the Secretary of State at one thousand dollars. In our opinion, it will be found that the sums are inadequate for cler ical force and other expenses. These offices embrace the Executive Department. The Judicial Department. b The Attorney General, who has heretofore n been regarded as attached to the Executive De d partment, has been by this constitution trans ferred to the Judicial Department. He, with the executive officers before named, is to be elected by the people. His salary is fixed at three thousand dollars, and he must be r learned in the law, and have resided flve years in the State preceding his election. It is in this department that the most radical and extensive changes have been made. Hero tofore, ever since the organization of the State government, the judicial power has been vested in a supreme, in district and parish a courts, and in justices of the peace. This power is now distributed in a Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, in district courts e and in justices of the peace. In New Orleans I the latter cannot exist under this constitu e tion, two city courts of a jurisdiction corre y spending to that of justices of the peace su perseding them. The Supreme Court has only appellate jurisdiction in suits involving one thousand Sdollars, and with this limitation its jurisdic tion 1~ not greatly changed from that which it possessed under the old system. It will consist of one chief and four associate jus tices, with salaries of live thousand dollars. They are to be appointed by the Governor, © the chief justice for twelve years, one asso ciate for ten years. one for ;eight, one for six and one for four years; the Governor to ties ignate the terms in their several commis sions. They must be citizens, over thirty five years, learned in the law, and of ten years' practice. There are to be four Su preme Court districts, from each of which one associate justice must be appointed. Sessions of the court are to be regulated by the Legislature; until then they are to be held as at present. The other provisions as to this court are in the main similar to those now existing. There is a provision not contained in the preceding constitution, which secures to par ties the right of appealing only on questions of law, when the parties desire such appeal. Next to the Supreme Court we are to have an entirely new tribunal in the State. This is a Court of Appeals, with appellate jurisdic tion only from the district courts in cases where the matter in dispute shall exceed two 1 hundred and fifty dollars and not over one thousand dollars. These courts are to consist of two judges each, to be elected by the General Assembly, to be assigned to five circuits. The judges are required to be learned in the law, of six years' practice and two years' residence in the cir cuit for which they are appointed. They are to hold two terms per annum in each parish f comprising their circuit. There must be a concurrence of the two judges to make a final judgment. In case of division the judgment of the court below stands. These judges are to receive four thousand dollars salary. There are to be not less than twenty nor more than thirty district courts. Their judges in the country are to be elected by a plural 3 ity of the voters of their district. Their sala ries are fixed at three thousand dollars. Their original jurisdiction is extended to all cases over fifty dollars, and appellate jurisdiction from justices in cases of ten dollars. Sheriffs and coroners are elected by the qualified voters of the parishes. They are to receive stated salaries, and the coroners are required to be licensed physicians. These, with district attorneys for each dis trict elected by the qualified voters of the district, justices of the peace elected by the voters of the parishes, and the consta bles with a somewhat reduced but similar jurisdiction to those at present exercised, make up the judicial department provided for the State. excepting the city of New Or leans, for which a different system has been provided, which will be elsewhere described. This completes the organization of the three departments of our State government pro. vided by the new constitution. This is the machinery with which are to be put in operation the many wholesome changes and beneficial reforms which have been so carefully and wisely provided in the general provisions and limitations of this instru ment, and the discussion of which we must reserve for another article. MISSISSIPPI CITY FEVER. Whatever may be the final decision of the gentlemen of the medical profession concern ing the disease of which Miss Creel died, and which now aflicts the balance of that un happy family, it does not alter the fact that the city of New Orleans continues free of fever and in an unusually healthy condition. As to the apparent disagreement of the phy sicians we have little to say, except that both may be right. Certain it is that the physicilan (Dr. Sou chon) that attended the Stout family in New Orleans is thoroughly co'mpetent to judge e yellow fver, Hte Is recognized bl the pro Sftesion as kntLhlg the disease, and a man of high character. Hence, when he testifies that a the disease he tr eated In New Orleans was re -mittent fever, h,'; testimony is entitled to s weight. 3 On the other hand, Dr. Sydney Scales, health officer of Mobile, who visited the sick near Mississippi City, i said to be equally competent, having knowledge of the fever, and being also regarded as a gentleman of 9 high standing, and when he pronounces the disease of which Miss Creel died at Missls sippi Chy to be yellow fever after careful ex. amination, it would be unfair to attack his conclusions. It is not unureasnahloe to sup pose that this girl, originally suffering from a malarial attack in New Orleans, may have been attacked with yellow fever in Missis sippi City. The disease prevailed there last year, and it is qdite as likely to appear there now as In New Orleans. The main point of discussion seems to turn upon fixing the origin of the disease in New Orleans, and it would scom to us quite clear that all practical, purposes of the discussion could be best served by a thorough investiga tion as to whether any case of the fever now exists in this city. Little good can come of a prolonged discussion. The Board of Health is sustained by all of our physicians in de claring that there are no cases here, and we learn that a careful investigation has been made by Dr. Scales, who has been spending some days in the city, and has doubtless be come well satisfied of these facts. REDUCTIONS IN EXEOUTIVE DEPART MENPS, The reductions effected in these depart ments are of the most sweeping character; in fact it remains to be seen if the Convention has not gone too far in this direction. It is quite true that when the now constitution shall have been inaugurated and all of its parts put into working order, the expenses of all the executive bureaus will be largely diminished. Take, for example, the Auditor's office. When the State shall reach a cash basis, and each creditor receives a war rant for the full amount of his claim, and has only to step into the Treasurer's office and get the dish. a large saving will be ef fected in the warrant department; instead of ten thousand warrants essued within six months, as is the case this year, perhaps five hundred will answer, saving not alone the cx tra work of issuing this large number, but all the book entries nlucidental to them. In like manner will the work be decreased when the question of the bonded and floating debt shall be settled. An immense amount of work is entailed by the issue of interest cer tilicates, counting and cancellation of coupons, and by the complex accounts required to be kept against every tax collector In the State, covering back taxes fora long series of years, to say nothing of the fact that about one-fifth part of the Auditor's time and a considerable clerical force is required to furnish data for the suits which overwhelm both the Auditor and Treasurer's offices. Now it is to be expected I that much of this work will not be necessary 1 in futurat years, but the Convention should I have borne in mind that In passing through I the transition from the old constitution to the I new all of this work must be gone over, at least during the ensuing year. The sum of four thousand dollars, to which the Auditor', I office Is restricted, will not defray one-half of I the absolutely necessary expenses of the year I 1880. Since 1876, Democratic legislation has ef fected reductions in the various executive departments amounting to fifty one thousand three hundred dollars per year. The esti- e mates for these departments for 1879 amount- 1 ed to one hun red thousand three hund red and forty dollars, after our Legislature had made all the reductions in their power. A fair esti- I mate of the spirit of economy which prevailed I in the Convention can be had when it is noted I that all expenses for these departments under the new constitution cannot exceed the sum E of thirty-six thousand two hundred and eighty dollars per year, as against like ex penses in 1875 of one hundred and thirteen c thousand three hundred and forty dollars. E The appropriations for the Auditor's office C alone in 1873 amounted to fifty-one thousand one hundred and seventy dollars. Hence it will be seen that the Convention has fully re deemed its promises of retrenchment in deal- 1 ing with these departments of the govern- A ment. ECONOMY, The constitu tion published with our Satur day's issue should be read carefully by every citizen of this State, and be considered with reference to its merits as a whole. It wohld be unfair to particularize certain measures which may be regarded with disfavor, and upon that ground reject the whole instru ment. A careful perusal will, we think, satisfy all fair-minded citizens that the people may, under Its provisions, hope to realize fully all of the pledges of reform and economy in gov ernment which the Democratic-Conservative party has piomised them. In the Legislative Department it has been but a few short years since the expenses of a session of the General Assembly cost the peo ple over seven hundred thousand dollars in a single year. The sessions of 1878 cost the people one hun dred and eighty-eight thousand three hun dred dollars. Under the new constitution the expenses of a session cannot for all purposes exceed forty-seven thousand seven hundred and sixty dollars, and as sessions are biennial the cost to the people cannot exceed twenty three thousand eight hundred and eighty dol lars per year. If this economy had been put in operation ten years ago, estimating the average cost of a Republican session being fodt hundred thou sand dollars, the people would have been the beneficiaries to the amount of three million seven hundred and sixty-one thousand dol lars. JUDICIAL REFORMS. In addition to the benellits relied upon in the almost unanimous adoption of the judiciary system by the Convention, such as a more rapid administration of justice, both in the Supreme Court and the lower courts, and the provision which will soon result in disencum bering the docket of the Supreme Court of the hundreds of untried eases now pending' we find a very material reduction in expense, although not so large as the public had been led to expect. The explanation accorded by delegates who gave this subject much attention was that it was thought beat to look more closely to such measures as would promote speedy justice than to cotsider the question of apparent ex pence, ,or the reason that a complicated or inefilcent jtdiOlary system woid entail sunh indirect burdens upon the peoole as to illy compensate for an apparent reduction of cost. For instance, a system which pernits a case to pass from the lower court to the Bxsprem e Court and be ilnally deoided within a year, or a term, is not to be compared in its benefits, pecuniary or otherwise, to the present sys tem, which ties up a litigant two, three antd four years. Hlowever, the Convention has succeeded in perfecting a system which gives promise of beneficial results in both respects. We have not hesitated to condemn its action in discriminating as to' the appoint ment of judges in New Orleans, because if the principle of an elective parish judiciary was good for certain parishes, wherein it will be difficult to secure the election of good men, it could certainly have been safely extended to the parish of Orleans, where the people have sealously claimed the right, and have hereto fore prudently exercised it, as the character of their bench proves. The expenses of this branch of the govern menb now are about $263,500 per year; under the new constitution the expense will be $200,000 per year, or a saving of $54,5.0 per year. Lord Lorne seems to have the unhappy faculty of making mistakes, whenever there Is a chance of making them. This peculiari ity has been especially observable in the case of Letelller, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Quebec.. The Conservatives, who are in a majority in Quebeo, and have control of the Legislature of that Province, asked, some time since, for the removal of Letellier, and the appointment of a Lieuten ant Governor of the same politics and ideas as the majority of the Legislature. Instead of either granting this request or refusing it, Lord Lorne declared that he would be unwill ing to take any action on the matter without permission from the home government. At this insult to Canadian dignity, this sugges tion that the Canadians were unworthy of governing themselves and had to depend on the English Parliament, the Conservatives were naturally indignant, and (lid not hesi tate to accuse the noble Marquis of being a fool. In the meanwhile the matter was referred to the English government,and a reply comes advising Lord Lorne to remove Letellier. Again, the Governor General made a fatal error. Probably worried by his former ill success in this matter, he yesterday removed Letellier summarily from oljlce without giving that gentleman any previous notice of t his intention to do so. It was a case of deci ded rudeness, an absolute insult. The Liberals who supported Letellier are very severe in their remarks on this matter, and denounce the unhappy Marquis in the most violent terms. lBy his refusal to remove Letellier, he first insulted the Conservatives; by his final hasty removal, he enraged the Liberals. Queen Victoria's son-in-law is evidently a very poor politician. A general movement against the hot weather I is announced all over the country. St. Louis has established an ice mission to provide the I poor, perspiring humanity of that city with z free Ice. In New York a fresh air and seaside R fund has been raised to take the inhabitants of the tenement houses of that city into the I country, and treat them to a little fresh and 3 healthy air, while In Cincinnati free ice water f is to be provided ih all the streets for hot and r tired wayfarers, in the very face of that apos tle of tepid water, that enemy of the water cooler, the Cincinnati Comarc:,rial. The Republicans in Maine have come to a sorry pass. They are throwing their hats In the air over the accession to their ranks of I the Aroostook Sunrise, a whilom Greenback 3 organ. The value of this gain may be in ferred from the statement made in explana I tion that the paper's somerset was caused by the refusal of the Greenback candidate for Governor to contribute $50 for its valuable I services.
