Reconstruction and Emancipa-
tion in Louisiana.

The Louisiana constitutional conven-
tion on the 9th, adopted the amendment
to the State constitution abolishing and
prohibiting slavery forever. Attempts
were made to provide for compensation,
and to exclude the freed men forever from
the right of suffrage, but both were vot-
ed down by strong majorities. There
has been so much partisan effort to mis-
represent and belittle the Union move
ment in Louisiana that many people have
come to look on the whole thing as little
better than a farce. But we believe it
is real and will stand forever, and that
there will never again be slave in Lou
isiana. The vote for emancipation was
72 to 10, and on subsequent days 4 who
voted in the negative asked permission
to change their votes. so that the final
vote stood 76 TO IL. The scene in the
convention while the voting was going on
was highly exciting, many of the dele
gates giving reasons for their votes.
Some Of these brief and stirring speeches
we're as follows:--
Mr.. Abel wished to explain his vote
but as he was branching of into a speech
he was called to order by the president
who said his remarks were insulting tc
the House, and he then voted "No!" ia
very loud and energetic voice.
Mr.. Campbell voted No! no ! no ! il
laundering tone of voice, adding; sir
the name of the wrongsd people of Lou
isiana, / vote no %
Mr.. Edwards said: ain the name o
the people Of Louisiana and freedom,
say yesP'

vor of immediate emancipation. Wher

the gentleman be allowed to proceed for
ten minutes longer.
There was no objection and it was
agreed to accordingly.
Mr. BAXTER. l thank the House
for IT'S favor.
What was the argument of Mr.. Gait,
the Canadian finance minister, for the
making of that line of communication
| am acquainted with Mr. Gait, and know
him to be talented and skiful man, for
he took from John Bulls pocket millions
that will never gladden. his eyes again.
What was the cry by which he took the
money out of John Bulls pocket? Why
it was this, that they were going to drain
the great West. If this argument had
not been used they could not have raised
stock to have built sixty miles of road.
Now, it has been said that if we abro-
gate this treaty they will take umbrage
and deprive US of their trade. Do you
believe that they will do that? If they
did they would not make one per cent. to
keep their lines of communication 10 re-
pair. They want all the trade they
can get, and they will take all they can
get. Do you know of any country that
wants to decrease its carrying trade

SUICIDE IN EURoPE.-Suicides in
crease in a more rapid ratio than popula-
ton aod mortality in general in Bavaria,
Denmark, France, Hanover, Mecklen
burg, Prussia, the kingdom Of Saxony,
and Sweden. Suicides are most frequent
in Northern Germany, aud in various
parts of Denmark. Sweden aud Nor
way, though belonging TO the same race,
are proportionally inferior to Denmark
in that respect. Contrary to a generally
adopted opinion, England stands nearly
at the bottom of the scale; and so do
Belgium, Austria and Spain. France
holds an intermediate position she
would rank with the three last named
countries, were il possible to eliminate
the suicides OF Paris, which ave one
seventh of the total number in France.
Generally, for every 100 suicides of men
there are from 20 to 80 Of women. The
number Of suicides increase with the age
of individuals, at least until the age of
60. The number Of suicides is generally
lowest in January, and highest in July.
As to the causes, insanity and physical
suffering are about as active in produc-
ing suicide among men as among women;
as to the rest, the latter yield more to
grief occasioned by moral causes than
men, who are chiefly affected by material
aflliction, such as loss of property, bank
ruptcy, sc. Drunkenness and debauch-
cry only form an magnificent item among
the causes impelling women to suicide.
In Denmark, Spain and Saxony, the
only countries where it has been possible
to obtain reliable information on the sub.
iect. married people are least subject to
commit suicide, and widowers, on the
contrary are most liable TO it; but suicides
occur most frequently among married
people that have been divorced or sepa'
rated. In Prussia, in the cousre of two
wears. there we're 1853 suicides of Pro
testants per million, 81 OF lsraeIites, and
only AZ of Catholics per million OF each
Suicides are much more numerous II
capital cities than in the country. The
General result of all these Investigations
Shows a universal and rapid incre ase o
suicides. The author is of the opinion
that this is attributable to unlimited com
peti,ion to the immoderate thirst aitei
wealth to the PROCESS Of public instruc
ton, which excites ambition {; to polltiea
agitation, and TO speculation Gaf'9

An army correspondent gives new
word which has lately been coined and
which is synonymous with "gobble"
and with "skedaddle," and is used for
any other word and for want of any
other word. He says: "A 9th corps
staff officer dismounted near me mo-
ment ago. He informed me that he had
been sent out on a general 'scyugle; ) that
he had 'scyused' along the front, where
the Johnies 'scyugled' bullet through his
clothes that on his return be 'scyugIed

his servant, who, by the way, had just
'scyugled' three fat chickens for supply
of ice that after be had 'scyugled' his
dinner he proposed to 'scyugle' a nap

Permit me before closing, to express
to this Convention the gratitude Of Or
leans County for the generous and cor
dial manner in which you have for the
third time honored our county by nom
mating one of our iavorite citizens for
Congress. In this young, growing, am
bilious district, extending from the sour
ces of the Connecticut on the east TO the
Champlain on the west, comprising SO
much of the enterprise, the blood OF the
State, it would not have been remarkable
if some local jealousies or bitter feelings
had marred the harmony Of this Con-
vention. We are grateful for the for
hearance that has prevented it. AT no
time was it ever more important that our
people should be thus united. We are
in this war yindicating not only our gov
ernment but our manhood. Our enemies
and their admirers believed, or at least
affected to believe us, too mean-sprlted
to fight gentlemen, too selfish to be self
sacrificing in war, and too uncourtly tc
speak good English.
But let it be remembered peaceful
men sometimes fight, that ambitious, en-
ergetic, thinking people are sometimes
fused by a Singleness of purpose, and
the lamb Of peace becomes the lion o.
war. and that same "nasal twang," which
grated so harshIy on the delicate ears oi
jeff. Davis and Cox, sounded quite as
disagareeably to the ears of Prince
Rupert's dying cavaliers; that it was
heard again when our Colonial father
charged as they placed the British ha3
on the Castle of St. Louis at Quebec -
That it was heard again and again lrou

Dissertation of the Sabbath.

The neglect of a proper observ.
anee Of the Lords Day, which pre-
walls toan alarming extent through
out the whole country, has at last
awakened the attention of the secu-
lar as we'll as the religious press
One of the Burlington daily news
papers has recently betrayed aston
ishment and just indignation that
base ball was publicly played in the
village of Burlington on Sunday in
the sight of those church-goers and
others who, with the rest of the
world, are commanded "to keep holy
the sabbath-day."
There exist in st. Albans, we fear,
very lax notions in regard to the
due observance of the Lords Day.
Large collections of men and boys
lounging in the streets, loafing about
the corners and hotels, and rudely
staring at passers-by, have been so
common on Sundays as to excite no
surprise, far less public rebuke.-
About the station-house boys Of all
sizes and colors amuse themselves
on Sundays with all sorts of games
and riding on hand-cars across
Champlain street to and fro, with
out let or hindrance, just as if we
had no salaried men set apart as
police officers to preserve the peace
seven days in a week, and just as if
the rolling stock" of the Railroad
Company was at the mercy of strag-
glers and boys who could get free
ride on Sunday provided the plug
uglies propelled themselves !
On Sunday afternoon last, about
the hour Of two o'clock, might have
been seen lying helpless on the side
walk in Congress street man in
beastly tate Of intOxication,
and near the gas house about
the same hour another person, not
SO much overcome with liquor, whose
habits were evidently too tconvivial.'
These sights-disguSting at all
times, and especially SO on Sundays
have become so frequent as to as
tonish some of our most thoughtful
citizens. How long this disregard
of statute law and the decencies of
life are to go unnoticed or unpun-
ishcd, it is impossible to foresee.-
The almost universal apathy which
prevails, forbodes no good and has
already become alarming.
The Church Journal, one Of the
best of our religious newspapers, in
series OF powerfully written arti-
cles on the decentralization of religi-
on and business which this cruel war
has aggravated, remarks that "the
Lords Day is losing its sacredness.
Some of the most widely circulated
of our daily papers are issued on
Sundays as well as on other days,
and few hesitate to read them as
eagerly. The preaching and pray
ing about the war in so many pulpits
has led one step further to the hold
ing of open meetings on Sundays for
the discussion of political topics
and the delivery of secular lectures
and giving of concerts on that day.
Military funerals are always fixed
for a Sunday where it is at all pos
sible. The circulation of exciting
Sunday papers is increasing and the
attendance at the houses Of public
worship is diminishing. We are
steadily drifting towards the Sunday
of Continental Europe. Tran.

BRACE OF ANECDoTEs.-We are in
debted to a correspondent in Fletcher
for the following anecdotes
Living in the town of r, in
Franklin County, is an old gentleman
everywhere known as Uncle Ben" d
veteran of 1872. and father Of seven
boys, five of whom are three years men
in the Union army at the present time,
and one, who will have bis joke on ev-
cry possible occasion. Once, while pass
ing by a country school house one sultry
day in summer he overheard the teacher,
who was standing by the window, pro-
nouncing words to one of her small
classes-words OF four letters, as Tray,
Pray" BRAY" &c. Hearing his foot
steps, she turned, and looking straight
at him pronounced the word bray, to a
scholar at the same time.
"Well," said Uncle Ben, taking it all
to himself, I'm not very good al it
but I'll do the best | cam" and forthwith
roaring on a high key, at rate that
would have astonished Baaam's charger
had he but heard it. We imagine that
to be the last word spelt at that roclta-
ton.
At the session of the Vermont Gen
eral Assembly, in 1854, l think it was,
Mr.. Bartlett, representative from
Lyndon, to Illustrate some point in the
debate upon the School law, then before
the house, related the following anecdote,
which certainly is worth keeping, and
shall be rendered as nearly as possible IN
his own words: Some member men,
toned the lack of proper politeness IN
teac hers and scholars Of the present day
and compared it with those of days past
which brought out Mr.. Bartlett as toi'

sion to visit Orleans County, and one
cold day while travelling in the northern
part, l met a lad some twelve or fourteen
years of age on his way to school. He
