Senator Clinton has submitted to the General Assembly a constitutional amendment proposing split ses Sslos of the Legislature. It is the intention that at the first session that bills a be proposed and that after an interval of severa months a thait e subsequent session pass or reject such measures Ia as may be dictated by the wise consideration to which they o have been subjected during the interval. i We think that the amendment should become a law. Under such a system there would be better opportunity to o digest and discuss proposed laws and under its operation very few bad laws wouldrun the gauntlet of public opinion K wwh would by this system have opportunity and time to Sexamine in detail proposed legislation. Under the new system it is not probable that such a a of justice could occur as did occur the 0 8$ Case: I1' The visitto this parish on the 9th inst. of the Editors ting a large number of the farm journals will'p rd oppportunity to show first hands the great natural g rscources of this section. The gentlemen comosmin this s party will receive a warm welcome to this parish. Under M a circumstances they would be received with hospitality, . b we feel sure that their present visit will result mm : l tual good feeling. They will arrive on the train from the west at 4"20 p. m., July 9th, and every citizen is ex peted to meet them. Two eases of bubonic plague have been reported in New Orleans.

SE. B. LVERARD, Agent f * MOUND - - - LOUISIANA Z AN E-EDITOR PASSES AWAY. I* The Sentinel notes with deep e" and sincere regret the announce maent of the death in Natchez, at ki an early hourThursday morning. A after a comparatively brief illness, of Major Douglas M. Walworth, in the 81styeat of his age. Major Walworth was a ldtive of Natchez, and having been educated for the bar, practised " law in his native city for many U years, his practise being inter rupted by the breaking out of the civil war, in which he enlisted, and served throughout in various p capnoities until the curtain was a rung do*n at Appomattox, ini 1865. For a number of years Mltj. Walworth has lived a retired life, writing only occasionally for the press, which was always glad to a get his products, and giving them space, he being a fluent, easy, graceful writer, having superb' n command of the English langu- s age, and always keeping well posted as to the current events of the day. Maj. Walworth was connected with the Natobez Demacrat. as i the business partner of the late q lamenter Capt. James W. Lam- i bert, which partnership continues e for only a few years, but Major 1 Walworth continued as its editor up to the fall of i803, when he severed his connection with the paper, and has lived in retirement ever since. b The deceased was of the old school, a true Southern gentle man, high-spirited, aggressive in all things and as gallant and courteous as the typical South erners were, quick to resent an insult, and equally as quick to forgive, or to apologize if hel were in the wrong, a trait that is c possessed only by men of such nigh and lofty character as the deceased. Twice married, Maj. Walwortl is survived by his present widow, Mrs. Jeannette Hadermenn Wal worth (the first wife preceding him to the grave many yaare ago,) and by the following issue of his first wife: MendamesJ. Q. Brooks and J. E. Pogue, Deesori, Miss., Mrs. Wallace Wilbourn, of Memphis, Tenn., and Miss Erestine Walworth. of Natches, all of whom have the sincerest sympathies of the Setinnet in their irreparable loses. Major Walworth was a Mason of high standing for a number of years, and a member of the Nat ches Camp of.Confederate Vete rans, by all of whom he was held in the highess esteem. His funeral took place Nom the family residence on North Union street, on Thursday afternoon at 5 o'cloek, Rev. Joseph Kuhnle, rector of Trinty ihurch. of which .the deceased was a life-lung member, officiatig. and was largely attended by the Confede rate veterans and others.-Con ourdia htentinel.
