A Now Proposition.

Speaking Of article which appeared in the Ores
cent last Monday respecting the culpabe neglect of
the Legislature to enact Registry Law for the city
of New Orleans, in accordance with the express re-
quirements of the Constitution, the Baton Rouge
Comet, of the 1s after quoting the 18th Article of
the organic law, asks:
Is any msakng the object and intention Of the wri
tiers endorsed this paragraph in tnt ancient in
conflicting with this Constitutional clause, and if 80, which
ought to , and give place the N Se If the text
ally entitled to scat in tho LegislatureS
The question has often occurred to us, although we
have never before seen it in print. It is one difficult
of solution, according to modern usage; but, if d.
vested of that there would be trouble in answer
ing it. The Constitution being the paramount law of
the State, the source and basis of its sovereignty
from which all laws and authorizations flow, the vio-
lation of any section article of it, as tural con
sequence, renders null and void whatever is done
through such violation. The of law cannot be
set at defiance, and legal enactments passed and en-
forced under it. The one must flow from and be sus
tanned by the other. These are propositions plain
and undeniable; and, were it not for usage, bad
precedent no words would be uttered grnsaying them
According to the strict letter and spirit of the Con
stitution we doubt much whether there has been 9
Constitutional Senator or Representative from the
parish of Orleans since the adjournment of the first
Legislature under the new Constitution The Consti
tuition peremptoriIy required the Legislature to pas
Registry Law in order that the qualified electors
the city should be registered "to ente them to cote
None of us, according to the supreme law wert
entitled to vote, unless we were duly registered ant
no registration having taken place, how could lega
elections be held? The case is plain one, aside from
custom and precedent and needs no further ilustra
ton. We earnestly hope the present Legislature vii
take action to rescue the parish from the unpleasant
dilemma in which she has been placed for long time
We should be allowed representation at all or els
q constitutional representation.

Charity Hospital Report.

One Of the most suggestive and important palnph-
lets we have for long time seen, is the report of
the hoard of Administration Of the Charity Hospital,
recently made to the Legislature of our State. 1t
shows how broad, how deep, how strong, aud how
efficient is the sentiment Of philanthropy amongst us;
! not by the mere prating and selfpraise which the
citizens of other great cities much love to laud and
extoI themselves with, but in its actual working out,
through the channels of direct and transformations
charity.
New Orleans enjoys the reputation, we believe, of
being as liberal of its wealth. and noble Units dispo-
ston of that wealth any city in the world perhaps
more SO. And very deservedy is such the case mas
mach as the reputation has solid grounds on which to
rest and solid reasons which to support ITSELF All
people who become residents here, how close and Pc
nurous soever their early education may have been,
see by the conduct of those who surround them and
with whom they are thrown into daily contact that
only corresponding sentiment and course of conduct
can win for them that estee friendship, and success
in business which is the nsprtng object and aim OF
their lives Poor the is it causes some deeds
of philanthropy to be done, which, in their turn, be-
come the parents of Others purely and entirely phi
lanthropic good deed is its own best reward, and
he who has once learned from what soeyer, the
amount of dividend which is declared upon the CAPT
tai thus invested ever terward seeks to secure that
dividend account of its value. Beyond these rea
: sons there are others with which q great amount
OF charity is produced. That the effect is not the
same in other cities is sufficient proof that the
causes are there wanting to produce them. Selfish
ness gsps the scepter and greed sits in its royalty
As we suffer no small amount of dispraise nd abuse
from the active exhibition of other feelings from the
i knocking down of a man who insults us, and the
Q thuggng of who spits in our face, it cannot ht
: deemed improper that we take to ourself such al
amount of commentator as is permissible for the vir

the Legislature Of this State for the past year. is now
before US and the only language in which deals
is that Of facts and figures, which said never to
lie, we transfer few Of them to our columns AT the
commencement Of the past year the amount on hand
was nearly thirty two thousand dollars During the
year there was received the further sum Of sxtyve
thousand making grand aggregate Of ninety-seven
thousand dollars OF this amount seventy eight thou
sand dollars have been expended given away TO the
people Of all lands coors and religions without osten
taon, and by the direction of as sku physicians as
any in the land The amount on hand at the present
time is nineteen thousand five hundred dollars Nearly
six thousand dollars were expended for drugs alone,
and over nine thousand for groceries. Twelve thou
sand was paid for coal and the same amount for
marketing
Of those admitted ,2SS were Americans, and Of
the Americans 1872 were Yankees 1928 Louisanians,
247 from New York, and 100 from Pennsylvania. Of
foreigners, amounting in all to 1851, 4,7sG were
Irish, $50 Germans ,15O French and SOL Prussians
Of those admitted, 9,406 were males and 27s6 fe-
males I,s49 men and 542 females died; $40 were
admitted in July, and 1872 in August; s44 died in
July, and GOT in August 1888 were yellow fever pa
tients, of whom just one-falf recovered.
These general statements give sufficient epitome
and account Of the Charity Hospital Of the much
abused city of New Orleans The other charities
those of the Towards, the samaritans, the Masons,
the Odd Fellows and many of lesser scope, if they
couldb got at, would swell to amount almost fabu-
lous and cause some degree of wondennent among
those who look upon us as modern lepers and who ex
pect the wrath Of the Lord to sink us like Sodom and
Gomorah. These are sturdy facts, and cannot be
eontroverted. As such we publish them to the world
They affect only the very poorest classes, too If the
kindly charities extended by many friend to another
by many generous employer to a suffering en-
ployee by many an honest heart to sckened brother
could be added a great pillar Of light and love
would spring from our midst and blaze with the
purest radiance.
