organized under and by virtue of aift
cles 213 to 216 inclusive, and 270 of
tbe present constitution, and the laws

feoeial government^) Inch has come iu
aid ot this and other liver states; and
it is deemed unw ise by many to re
open the question or reverse the sys
tem at the present stage id its (level
opmeut. ihe constitution of 1879
provides that whenever I lie fedetal
government shall assume absolute
coutiol ot the levees the .State shall
abdicate its nghr over the levee in its
favor. 1 he pit sent- constitution also
authorized this State to join other
uvei states foi the purpose of main
taming levees intended fertile common
protection of this and 8112 I 1 other
states, these were no doubt the
reasons "hull actuated the legislature
in imposing these limitation*.
It might be argued that at this time
tue people ot tin- State aie not all
i . ...

tuai uasou ihe convehtioi) ou^ht
, .. w
be free to act as it lists.
If vie consider the difference of
opinion on this levee question, it is
safe to say that ail :ue agieed we
should have levees; ihe disagreement
is as to outlets; some favoring a com
posite system ot levees and outlets;
others, un all levee system. Under
this condition of things, there is no
reason to vote against tiie constitu
tional convent ion ; for although that
convention will he prohibited from
making any alteration * in the present
system, we see no!lung under the
present constitution to pit vent the
adoption ot the composite S isr**m
composite system,
should the ptojiic of tin* throusrh
the legislature desire to trv ii.
The convention shall pass no ordi
uanci, _____ -a—
e. Wlicreoy the oin, i-« ,,i Chi.*. Ju*
tice a:;d Associate Justices of the
Supreme couir shall be made elective
or whereby the terms of office of ti.e
then incumbents shall be shortened oi
their salaries diminished.
There may be some hone-; diffei
once of opinion as to the piopiiety of
this limitation or luthei limitatioiis,
tor these are two. Tiie first urohihiis
the convention 'loin making ti.e olli
ces of the justices ot the supreme!
court elective.
Uuder our present constitution tiie
judiciary system is composite : ap
pointive. elective, in ns blondest]
sense, and, again, elective in a restric
ted sense; that is, ti.e* justices, of the
supreme court are appointee bv the
governor with the advice of the
senate; the disfiict judges are elected
by a direct vote of the people of then
respective disctiicts, and the circuit
judges are chosen by the legislature in
the supreme court
vide the Colli t into a court
a}1Iie || att , ;1|h1 a conrt ,,f
joint session. Each of these methods
of selection has its adherents ; and it
must be-conceded that something can
be said in favor of each. For out owu
part, we prefer the elective; but we
recognize the fact that it is not abso
lutely faultless. Indeed, it lias al
ready 'been tried with regard to the
^judges of the supreme court in the
, i.st, ami there are many among those
w ho recollect its manner of working
then who tieely admit that it presen
ted some objections which may lie
avoided under the appointive system.
At bottom, the trouble with any sys
tem which may lie adopted is, that it
is human, and therefore subject to
imperfections and liable to abuse. In
times of great political conniption, the
appointive svstem in liable to abuse :
u hilo in t.me of great political excite
meat, the elective may work great
injniy : bnt this furnishes no reason
why either \stem should be con
demned in lota.
The other limitation concerns the
terms of office «>t the justices and the
same reason exists for it as for the
limitation in favoi of the other offi
cials.
liur outside of these two restrictions,
the convention will be free to orgau
ize ihe judiciary system as it deems
proper. It may provide at will con
coining the district and other inferior
jCouils. It ilia\ abolish the courts of
appeals or te-oiganize litem on a
dilf.--ent basis; it may establish par
ish courts; inciease or diminish the
jm isdictiou ofjustices of the peace or
do away with them altogether; in
the number of the judges
and di
of civil
ciiminai
Cl eit.-e
of
appellate jurisdiction. In fact it in.-ty
do anything it pleases outside of the
rest 1 ctious noted.
It will thus be seen that the restiic
lions to the powers of tho coiilt inpia
teil constitutional convention an- not
so multifarious or ns far reaciiing ns it
lirst i lusli appears. If a constitution
al convention be otherwise necessary,;
tli: ie is no teasoii why these restric
rions should stand in (he way of call
ing one. The matter therefore ie
solves i'sell into ihe question, is a
constitutional convention deemed ne
cessary at this timet That is what
tin* people who will soon be called to
pass upon the matter will have to!
decide.

it was staled that the coroner's jury
| had charged Auguste Gena* 1 with the

j ' iere * A «"«« «•««» of nioney was
found on his person and also a watch
for which he produces a receipt which
also worked on one ot the Lafourche

i admits that he left St. Louis laRt Fri
day, coming directly to New Orleans
wheie he spent a day, whence he came
shows it was recently acquired in St.

watch but the receipt does not show
what was paid for it.
To the Sheriff', Genar said he was
willing to return to St. Louis without

accusers, but he may not be so ready
and willing, if the time comes for him
to go.

Kent—Carver.
The Hon. T. D. Kent, of the plan
ting partnership of Kect &: Weill,
treated his many friends to a genuine
surprise last Tuesday. He quietly
took unto himself a better half and
stole away before his friends got
wind of Ins maneuvies, and thus
slaved off the inevitable charivari,
the usual discordant accompaniment
of a widowers'wedding.
I he fair btide iu the ease, is the
accomplished Miss Eailir.e Carver,
daughter ot Judge Hiram II Carver.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Mi Philson, of St-John's Church and
upon the conclusion thereof, the
couple left for Nevv-Orleans.
The Sentinel extends its best
wishes to Mi and Mr* Kent for happi
ness and prosperity, and Hopes the
groom's many friends will overlook
the neat trick lie played them to
avoid a disagreeable oideal.
