UNDER WHICH KING BlzoNlAN y

Situated as the people of Louisiana now
are it is we'll to ask where the legitimate
authority of government resides The pre-
sent State government considering that it
claims to be republican in form, certainly had
a very anomalous origin 1t was called into
existence by the orders of a military COM
mander Of the United States army, who, by
virtue Of irresistible force, oonyoked a So
called convention of the people of the
State to frame a Constitution for their
government, The Constitution was framed
in accordance with the viii Of the
commander, the governor was installed
amid the psgeantry of military display and
the first legislature assembled and dealt as
freely with the public funds as the most radi-
cal member of Congress would desire. On
the fail of the Confederaoy, the authority of
this legislature, under the present CoRstitu-
ton, was extended under the shadow
Of federal authority over the whole
State. The President of the United States
recognized the Constitution as the true Con
sitution of Louisiana, declined to appoint a
provisional governor, and has ever since re-
eognized the present incumbent as the legiti-
mate executive of the State. Whatever may
be said of its anomalous origin, it had GER
tainly become q government dc taetO sup
ported by the whole power of the United
States This fact was conceded by the sub
sequent vote of the people for new legisla-
ture under the Constitution which is now
supposed to be our guide. If amy doubt had
previously existed this acquiescent vote would
have decided the ratification of the Constitu-
ton and extinguished forever the life of
the convention which framed it
But now, a decided minority OF a so-called
convention which could never assemble more
than about half the proper number for con
vention, have crept from the obscure dens and
hiding places to which a just public indigna-
ton had driven them. A number SO small
that they would not have power to act even if
the convention were alive, with an impudence
unparalleled even in the history of radical
ism, assume the right to depose the presiding
officer, who alone could have reassembIed the
convention in the days of its vitality, and to
install in his place person who had previ-
ously resigned his position in that body. This
person appealing tothe spirits ofthe departed,
summons into the light Of day the grim Wis
ages Of the faded convention, and calls upon
the sad remnant of its members to usurp arbi-
trary authority over this people, and to reign
once more, and perhaps forever over the
desolated land. For if they have the right to
| convene, they have the right to remain in per-
manent session and if thew are III fact a con

GUIDED on Wednesday, and resulted in her con.

great interest, and the feeling in Tompkins county
was SO strong against her that no jury could be
obtained and the case was therefore taken into
Cortland county for trial. Mrs Heggie was the
mother OF fourteen children, two of whom Char
lotte and Mary, were highly accomplished young
ladies, OF whom their father was very fond and
proud. Mrs. Heggfe labored under the delusion
that her two daughters were trying to usurp her
household She began to treat them with disre
spect and eoldness; and Their neglect of her, and
Mr.. Heggie's increasing attention to his children
and GOODNESS to her, drove her to desperation
Mary died suddenly, but no one suspected her
of having been poisoned. About year after
Charlotte died, and from the fact that Mrs Heggie
had purchased arsenic Of three druggists in Ithaca
previous to her death, suspicion was aroused The
body Of Mary was exhumed, and the stomachs Of
both girls analysed by the chemists, which analv
sis reYeSled arsenic in them, and Mrs. Heggie was
arrested. AT the trial. daughter fourteen years

The following anecdote of Count Bismarck is
told by the Paris correspondent of Land and Water
an English journal:
In l8H Bismarck was twenty-si years old and
had just passed his civil service examination. He
went to the chief OF his department, and was told
to wait in the ante-room. At the end of half an
hour ne exhibited symptoms of great irritation ;
three,quarters of an hour passed and he pulled of
the, gloves and tore them up. When he had waited
an hour and half he got up, and was leaving the
room, when the gentleman he had been waiting
for opened and asked hin whathe required. "Sir,
an hour and half ago l wished to speak with you,
but desire to do SC no longer" And young Bis
marck went away.
Twenty-Five years later Otto Edward Leopold
de Bismarck was first minister and paid an official
visit to certain project. The minister was shown
into his apartments by the prefect and was about
to retire. Well sir, y said the count, YOU must
acknowledge that life is full of curious chances. I"
. What does your excellency mean?" II mean
that 1t is now twenty-three years since saw you,
and you are very little changedn "Ibeg YOUR ex
cellency' pardon, but don't remember" Howl
said M, de Bismarck, laughing don't you re-
member young man who was rather impairment
to you when you were head of department ~
The project became red, green and pale but the
count gave him his hand, and no more was said Of
the matter.

talcrs in nearly all branches that reduc-
ton, beneficial and important to the masses,
has been effected The foreign inpnrtations
it is known have been excessive OF late, and
it appears that the importers have now to
crowd their goods into the auction houses to
dispose Of them, even at loss, and Domestic
manufactures have accumulated, so that mills
which had temporarily suspended are not e.
suming operations as they had designed to
do. The purpose will be to work off present
stocks, and await with due caution the future
basis on which things may settle down.
Within two months past cotton has declined
an average Of eight to nine cents per pound,
and the manufactured goods, as sheetings,
nuslins, prints, &C., in proportion, five to
eight cents per yard, it's stated. Groceries,
the product Of foreign countries, are very
materially tumer, Jn0ugn yet telt to be high
in comparison to what they formerly were.
LII brcadstuns and meats which are Of our
home productions, are not eqnally reduced
in price, it is to be remembered that they
are not 50 directly affected by the gold rate
as are articles on which duties are paid In
gold, and it seems also that they are not in
over abundant supply IN the whole country
at present Flour at Cincinnati las Teen
relatively higher recently than in Baltimore,
though there is some general decline. Ihe
wholesale prices Of cured meats are lower in
the past month, but as yet fresh meats are
untouched These articles Of food are gen.
orally slower to he affected than imported
goods and manufactures, but they also must
III time come under the influence Of the gen.
eral downward progression to proper de-
gree, both at retail as well as wholesale.
The agricultural production of the country
must augment by the addition Of laborels
withdrawn from the armies, and by the tide
Of immigration There cannot, however,
lie a doubt that there will continue to be such
demand for consumption Of all such produce
ton as to ensure remunerating prices to the
farmer as compared with what he will have
to pay for other articles The facts we have
enumerated are naturally exciting apprehen-
sion among business men Of reyulsion Of
greater OF less severity.
