Ma. SpsAxsa :-Hov sudden and ssrsrs u
this dispsusation Of Pruvidsnos. In the
midst oflifs and whilst engaged In it active
duties, our respected friend and colleague,
without any previous warning, was stricken
down BY the angel Of death, and In . few
brief hours was Joined TO that innumerable
throng, which includes all who have lived,
and to which tho ages yet TO come will ever
contribute. To most Of ", he was compar-
atiyely stranger, bat we had al learned TO
csterm him IN an honest, industrious and
useful member Of this House one who was
indeiatigpble in his efforts 10 detect and
prevent wasteful and extrsvagant expendi
ture Of the public fund, and who, without
being radical or at al inclined 10 rush into
hazardous experiments In legislation, was
not disposed TO reverence existing laws,
however defective, merely because they had
long remained upon our Statute books; nei-
Their was he inclined TO adopt new measures
without thorough investigation Of their
necessity and adaptedness 10 our condition.
He occupied position midway between ex.
treme conservatism on the one hand and ex.
treme radicalism on the other, and thus
possessed qualifications which well fitted
hun for that position from which he was 50
suddenly removed, by Providence which
to us seems inscru'able, but which in the
Councils Of the Almighty was deemed to be
of infinite wisdom. Il becomes US TO bow
in humble submission to Divine viii, and
while we tender our sympathy to the kin.
drsd and friends Of our departed brother, tc
remember that soon the link, which bindl
M to earth will be broken, and that, Will,
we have health and strength remaining, w
should 30 discharge our duties that GU,
memories shall be cherished and our exam
pie be worthy Of imitation.

Railroad between New Orleans and Baton
- Rouge.

Rouge.
The Lake Providence Herald, speaking of this
much needed improvement, says:
New ORLEANS AND BATON ROUGE RAILROAD
The recommendations made by his Excel!ency Gov.
Woldie, in his late annual message that the aid of
the State be given to the above enterprise by subs
scrpton of onefth its capital stock is one which is
to be hoped will meet the coordinate sanction of the
Legislature. @@ fH ~
The connection between the capital and metropolis
Of our State is proposed to be achieved by an inter
section Of the former with the New Orleans, Jack
son and Great Northern Railroad-a distance Of
forty-sx miles eastward making total distance be
tween New Orleans and Baton Rouge OF ninetyone
Baton Rouge and Livingston, through many valuable
public lands, which, as in similar instances, would
doubtless be donated by Congress to the company, in
! aid of the enterprise.
The passage Of bill to carry into effect this much
desired measure came very near being effected by the
Legislature some three winters ago, and but for the
injudcious cloggng of the bill with certain provisos
i which were deemed unconstitutional it would have
pas ed into q law. We hope to see bill presented
to the Legislature this session which will be freed
4 from any such impediments. railroad to connect
i Baton Rouge with New Orleans has become a State
want as the experience of past legislatures viii
testify, and to remedy that want, which sooner Of
later must be done, it behooves the powers that be-
to give the subject their earnest attention. Any
further postponement OF it must only serve to proone
unnecessarily the vexatioas delays, hindrances ant
| other manifold disadvantages which are now crying
evil to the people and shame to the State.
The measure will come up for discussion in thu
/ House of Representatives today. Whether fna
vote will be taken or not, we are unable to predict
With full House we have little doubt the bill woult
receive the votes of the requisite majority of mem
bers but as yet the House has been by full
showing culpable negligence on the part of mem

earnestly invoke our legislators to bestow upon it
favorable consideration. We are confident that, b,

IMPRAerIcABLE LAWS. We clip the following
from the Baton Rouge Advocate, of the Sd instant :
An act repeating the law against betting on cleo
tons has already passed both houses of the Legisa
ture; and, acting upon the same enlightened spirit,
the Senate yesterday, by a handsome majority passed
the bill introduced by Mr.. ST. Paul submitting to the
people the question of striking out article lib of the
constitution which forbids the establishment of lot
teres and the sale of lottery tickets within the limits
OF TINS State These laws have never been observed
they nave been imperative and without effect from
ther ADOPTION, and the earlier we strike them from
our statute books, the better We have every
to think the House will respond to the vote of the
Senate on the lottery repeating bill when it comes up
trust the Legislature will sweep all of our nope
ratve laws out of existence before it adiourns W.
are pleased that the law against betting on elections
has been repealed-not because we are not strongly
opposed to the practice but because the law is ueye
enforced against betters-because it remains deai
letter on the statute book.
The move in regard to lotteries meets our approba
ton. The laws nominaly in force possess not tn
slightest vtality-are continually and openly violate
and great proportion of oar population partic
pate in the violation. Byrepealing the law this yols
ton will be done away with, and at least one goo
result effected.
