Some think the Constitution did
not cost enough to be good others
think that it cost too much and ought
to be taken down and put up on a
cheaper plan. One thing, however,
is very plain. 1t does not suit, and
then comes the question, What
shall we do with it?" Gan it not
be swapped or exchanged hv giving
boot? Could it not be extensively
advertised and puffed by the press
like Hostetter or ]. Bulls Bitters,
until Arkansas, Idaho or Mississippi
be induced to take it? They all
want Constitutions besides, there
are other Estates coming into the
greatest and best government with
the handsomest flag out; and none
Of them can be expected to exist a
day without a Constitution. Missis-
sippi would no doubt pay literally
for It in that "cotton money" of
hers, and it would be a good invest
ment, because the cotton is there.
Where "nobody" is authorized to
speak, this newspaper is always
heard. Hence, may we not with
propriety enter into negotiations and
sign a treaty? Will Mr.. King, of
the Times please consider the matter
and let us know what he will give a
column for, for say six months,
with a fresh puff under the head Of
especial notices." dailyi We mean
to dispose of the new Constitution to
the best advantage, and before in
curing the expense of advertising,
will say to Idaho or our sister of
Kansas, We'll give a great bargain
in it. Either one of them may have
it for half the prime cost. Can
reasonable people ask for anything
more reasonable?

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH IT

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH IT
1t can hardly be forgotten by the
readers of newspapers and things that
short time ago lot OF honest,
clever and intelligent gentlemen were
engaged for season at very great
sacrifice Of their own time and peen-
mary interest in making new Con-
stitution for the State of Louisiana.
These gentlemen in convention as
sembled, embraced much of the pa
triotism and fair portion of the
wisdom Of the nation at large, and
now that their labor is over and the
result is before the people in we'll
bound volumes Of debates and reso-
lutions with foot notes and marginal
references, it seems, from the tone of
the press, that it will not do--that it
does not suit, and another is talked
Of. Some of the political monde.
scripts and antiquarians complain
and say "that we, the people, are
hard to please and do not know what
we want; that in less than a dozen
years we have had three Constitu-
tions," and they do not believe "that
any framework of this kind can be
put together to suit us." But they
are forgeries--very old; some Of
them bald-faced and many of them
bald-headed. They lose sight of the
progressiveness Of the age and know
nothing of the truth and beauty of
the lines, Westward the star of
Empire" etc. "What's the matter
with the new Constitution Z" We
have no time, space or inclination to
answer this question. The people
say they do not like it. This is
sufficient and the reason of their
dislike may very well be en-
bodied in the distitch of Quintus on

the credit of the locality, and taken into

der the call of December 10, 1864, and pro-

termining ths-quotas of sub districts
under the present call they viii apply
such excess accordingly; and all men

credited upon the call of that date. In
crediting the excess that is carried tor.
ward from the call of July IL, 1864, and
applied to the call of December ~, 1864,
I consider not only the number OF men OF
which the excess is composed, but also
the period of their service; and the quo
tas assigned under the call of December
10 are thus reduced by this excess OF
service, and hence they should not be
further reduced, except by enlistments
subsequent to December ~, 1854; the

Fort Fisher.

The capture of Fort Fisher by the COM
bined land and naval forces on the lotn
inst. adds another to the list OF import
ant successes recently achieved by the
Federal arms and inficts another heavy
blow upon the rebels. The fall OF Will
minpton must follow, in short time, as
a matter of course, and thus almost the
only port through which the Confedera,
CIV has drawn its foreign supplies, Will
be entirely closed to their commerce.
such q result must deepen the sufferings
of the Southern people and intensity
their feeling of encouragement and
gloom.
Among the many good results achieved
by the capture of Fort Fisher, its effect
upon BUTLER must not be overlooked
1t puts a final qaietus upon that stupen'
dous military humbug and dismisses him
to contempt with his false pretenses fully
exposed and his incapacity clearly
proved. This success demonstrates that
the former failure was attributable to
BUTLER alone.
