IJndev this heading our readers will lind
in another column an excellent comhiimi
catlon Item the pen of one of our most qstl
mablc fellow-citizens — a gentleman well
qualified to discuss the merits of the en!
ject he takes nndor oonsiijeiatioti.
The next, Legislature, from the nature of
the business it will be called to transact, is
destined to bo fcpfe of the most i m portant
that ever convened in Louisiana. It is
therefore, of vital consequence, that, the
people should east about and dotermine as
to what manner of men shall compose
that body—whether ite members shall be
of that old time serving, selfish and cor
rupt class of politicians, who always work
more mischief Umn good, proving them
selves an Incubtis and a curse to the peo
pie, ot of that pure, enlightened, liberal
class of citizens who, by an honest zeal
and resolution and with au eye single to
the public weal,sliall be abletojcope stu
cessfully with the new and complex ques
tion» that are to oome tip for legislative
action and adjustment.
Our correspondent well remarks that tlio
next Legislature "will indeed, practically
be a Constitutional Convention.'' Deli
cate and responsible duties will devolve
upon Us members, touching the present
and anterior State Constitutions in their
relative and antipodal bearings upon tlio
vexed status of our organic laws. To
analyze, amend, re vu not and classify, un
der existing conflicts of Inws and constitu
tions, will require no smnll amount of
mental labor and wisdom. It is of in
finite Importance then, that the people
should seek to inlttse purer and more
statesmanlike elements into their councils
of State than have hitherto existed. A wsy
with political cliques, cabals and factions,
who confine themselves to the little circle
of their own selfish considerations and ad
vanoement. Frown them down, lop them
off, cast them itsitle, for their touch is de
filing, their policy ruinous to the people,
their rule deadening, Let us look to
sound, honest conservative principles, and
to the men who worthily wear those prill
ciples as jewels in their hearts, as the only
means under lle/lven whereby wo may
hope to see the worl; of Stute regeneration

we took
n statu
I Ii our paper of the 3d inst.,
occasion to speak of a certain it
ctte representing a negro boy, which for
inerly did duty «s a hitching post in this
city, but which by some mysterious pro
cesH lisd been translated to Cleveland,
Ohio, and wns felmre doing similar service
in trout of the promises of a Mr. liimRioo i .
We nnimiid verted upon its disappearance
hence ns an net, of vandnlic spoliation, per
petrated by some unknown party; and, as
the < 'letoland /km hi had taken the pains to
refer t'> the innocent little metallic casting
us mi " iiiteroitjng relic of defu m l slavery."
we thought that was adding "insult to
injury.'' and shaped our comments on the
editor's remarks accordingly.
We have no retraction to make concern
ing the manner in wlijeh we treated the
a it, im vf of the Cleveland editor's unwar
ranted and unwarrantable fling at the
South; but In so far as our remarks applied
to tho "taking oil'' ot t he statuette without
leave or license, we feel it our duty, from
certain information which has come to
light, to "gravitate baok" a little.
A letter we have received from s gentle
man at New Orleans, who was an officer of
the Federal army and stationed at this
post, at the time tho facts connected with
the removal of the statuette transpired,
enables us to place this matter beforo otir
readers in a more favorable light. The
writer, who is a gentleman of known high
oharncter and voracity, says :
"In a late issue of the (Josette and (,'nmel
I noticed nn article on Viindalism— sailed
forth by an extract from the Cleveland
(Ohio) Ikrahl in relation to an iron Btatu
ette of « negro boy.
I have nothiug to say to the article or
its merits, but as to the "negro boy," (as
('apt. K. culled it,) 1 wish to say, so that
Gazelle and. Comet, can enlighten its
the
readers on the matter, that it was pre
sented by its owner. Mr. P. to Judge ÏL,
who shipped it in care of Capt. lt., North;
that Capt. R. wrota me from Cairo, "tell
Ii. that his negro boy is lost—Rome Abo
litionist must have stolen him,as I can find
nothing of him;" and that until quite re
cently, If at, all, Judge II. had not found
the said boy.
"How the statuette came in Mr. Bon
mhob's possession with a history reflecting
on Sôntnorn Institutions, yoti can not, prove
by men, or by Judge 11., in my opinion."
It seems aftor all, that the little artificial
darkey whs doomed to become tho victim
of a felonious abstraction. What has Mr.
B urriogr of Cleveland to say to this mat
ter? Was he particeps rrirr^inie'm the «Unir,
or does he know who was ?
STOP that Bot.— A cigar In his mouth,
a swagger in his walk, impndence in his
face, a care-for nothingness in his manner.
Judging from his demeanor, be is older
than his father, wiser than bis teacher,
more honored than the Mayorofthe town,
higher than the l'resident. Stop him, ho
is too fast; he don't see himself as othorssoo
him; be don't know hi* speed, flop him,
ere tobacco shatters his nerves; ere pride
ruins bis character; ere the loafer masters
the mail; nre good ambition and manly
strength give way to low pursuits and bru
tisli aims. Stop all Such boys. They are
legion, the shame ol families, the disgrace
of their towns the sad and solemn re
proaches of themselves.
K knts in M on iôomkhï .— In Montgom
erv ( Ala.,) Buys the Kehna Mmnemjer, rents
—especially store rents astonish those who
give and those who take them. People
bad run out of clothes, and forgot how
choc se and sardines tasted, so they have
gone in with a relish and a greater number
of stores are sustained than any would
have thought possible. The impression is
that morthauuisiüg is being overdone.

THE «*;*'■• M^ISI itTi ni..
1,'aëetfr umi —Whatever
opinions may be entertained of the Con
stitution of 1B04, it is now clear that we
must organize our Rtate Government under
it. The Governor's Proclamation for an
election fully recognizes it as the organic
lnw, and accordingly conforms to its pro
visions. Fortunately for us that 'institu
tion provides a very easy and speedy way
of getting rid of its objectionable features.
Article 147 provides that any amend
ment which has received the sanction of
a majority of the members elected to both
hnrtses ofthe General Assembly, sliall be
published for thirty days, at the end of
which period, a popular vote on it may be
be taken, and if sanctioned by a majority
of the voters, it immediately becomes part
ofthe Constitution. In addition then to
the other important duties which will de
volve upon tho next Legislature, will be
the vary important one of revising the
Constitution: they will indeed,practically»
be a Constitutional Convention. Have the
people thought of this! Are, they safll
ciently acquainted with the Constitutlön
of 1864 to know in what respects it ought
to be changed ? I fear that the disgust
ami Contempt felt by most of us for the
character of those who framed this Con
stitution, and the bold and shameless pre
tences «tider which it was claimed to liava
been adopted by the people, have prevented
many, oven professional men, from read
ing it; but important, interests impera
tively demaud that we should lay aside
these prejudices; we must ceaso to talk
about what should have been, and reso
lutely address ourselves to the task of
making the best of things as they are. As
alresdy said, we cannot rrtfiudiate it, and
indeed, I do not know that it, îr desirable to
lo so, but we can speedily rid ourselves o^
tsöbsjeelionable features. I do not propose
at present to go into any discussion of
these features, but simply enumerate some
of them upon which there certainly exists
a difference of opinion, if not a conflict of
interest, ior instance : Shall the Judiciary
be elective as under the Constitution of
1P5SJ, or appointed by the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, ns under that of 1864 / Shall the
apportionment of l fc 04, stsnd-'sn appor
tionment. by willen the city of Now Or
leans has forly-four out of one hundred
an ! eighteen Representatives, and ten*
out of thirty six Senators? Shall the
State Capital remain at New Orleans ? By
this Constitution tho Lieutenant Governor
ins a salary of five thousand dollars; the
pay of menibois of the Legislature, and
nenrly all State officers lias been doubled)
! in a condition to "stand the raise,"
end is it desirable to do so if we could ?
I'heso and many other similar questions of
grave import will oome bofere the next
Legislature; they ought therefore to be
thoroughly discussed by the peuple; the
'less should do all in is power to throw
igbt. upon them, and tho people, as they
xpert to extricate themselves from the
embarrassments by which they are sur
rounded*- as they hope for fu'nre pros
perity do tbey desire to see Louisiana as
some once more the protul position she
orice occupied before t he world, should take
care that tho men selected to represent
them, are qualified to deal with these si I
important snbjeols. J. O. F.

D a.ni J çt, W* rstbr as a F isherman.—A
Little F h II s (Potomac) correspondent of
the Journal of Commet at, who seems to
have been the furnisher of boats and tackle
for fishermen on the Potomac, writes :
Foremost among these (fishermen) was
Daniel Webster. When Socretary of State,
he used to come here, always early in the
morning, ntul accompanied by bis private
secretary. He liked fresh morning air as
Irnich as any man I ever saw, ami when he
talked to me freely sbont fish and fishing,
I could believe that lte had been in tho
business all his life. He was always lib
eral, and where other men would give me
ono dollar for a morning's sport, he would
give me ten. And for an old man, as lie
was, he was a good fisherman. 1 reinem
ber well the day when he caught hi« big
gest rocklish. I had taken lilm in one of
my boats to the "catting rock," and as we
swung across the roaring waters, the great
man clapped his hands like a child. This
fish weighed sixteen pounds, and gave him
much trouble; and when I gaffed the prize,
and we knew it was safe, he dropped his
rotl in the bottom of the boat, jumped to
his I'eet, itnd gave a yell—a regular Indian
yell—which might have been heard iri
Georgetown. He enmo often, was always
pleasant in his ways, generally on the
ground as early as 5 o'clock; and once he
gava me as a reason for winding up the
sport at !» o'clook that he was obliged to be
at the Department before noon. But hiR
fishing days are long since ended.

balloon named the United States" is being

Man wants but Utile ear helow.

Charles Lamb, in ono of his eulogies on

The Scotia, which arrived from Liver
pool on Wednesday, brought over adistln
gnished party of English "nobles and gen
try" who have come over here, according
to the Timet to inspect o«r American Rail
roads and examine the state of things in
Wall street. We advise them, as they val
ue their lives, not to inspect otir railroads
too closely, and as they value their purses,
to stay away from Wall street.
The Treasnry Oeparttnent has given or
