as to give to the Judges Of the Supreme
Court an official term Of seven years-for

Freemen's meeting, and the Legislative
Sessions, fixing the first upon the second
Tuesday Of October, and the second on the

and the appointment of Justices by the peo-
pie of the town, and that no town be allow
ed to have more than twelve.

The SABBATH IN NEw-ORtEANs.-C

The SABBATH IN NEw-ORLEANs.-Chris-
tians of every denomination will rejoice TO
learn that disregard of the Sabbath is no
longer characteristic Of New Orleans
The Bulletin Of that city says:
"The time was when Sunday in this city
was day of merriment and jollity. Stores
were open along the lengh of every street,
and chaffering for bargains was heard in
painful contrast to the hush of the spirit
which the Sabbath should ever bring to men.
American feeling and American influence,
the one deep the other magical have changed
all this, and New Orleans now presents an
aspect on the " seventh day." of which
every citizen may boast and every chris
tian be content. But the matter stops not
Decentralization is still going on, and
whoever lives to see twentieth wear
hence, will see New Orleans the quietest
and most moral city in the United States
AT present we compete successfully with
any-then we shall excel all.
