NUMBER 40.

Such action was needed on account Of
the condition Of the people, resulting from
the war and its consequences. He knew how the
Constitution of 1864 had been concocted,
and admitted that no epithet was too severe for it,
but he did not agree with the gentleman from st.
Mary, lMr. Tucker,) that the only expression Of
pulic opinion in regard to it was that Of condemna-
tion and reputation, for throughout North Lonis-
lana, despite his own remonstrances and the
remonstrances Of others who loathed that Const;-
tntion the people responded to the invitation of
Gov. Wells, by recommending to him persous
suitable for local offices. Moreover, by the eiec
non IN November last, by the act Of legislation by
" .nis assembly, that instrument was recognized az
the Constitution of the State. we.had taken bad
thing, and ell we had to do was to make the best
we could of it. -
MT. Iucker agreed that it would be well to de-
termine M soon what should be done with this Con-
sttution question, but he did not think the plan
suggested would accomplish that He could fore.
see that from this day to the close Of the session.
If they undertook to resolve themselves into a
Constitutional Convention and tinker that Constitu-
ton, nothing else would be done. The minds Of
members would he engrossed with the subject to
the exclusion Of all others. The number oil
amendments handed in by Mr.. Stille this morning
wsuld give gentlemen an idea Of the herculeaI
labor before them. He was not prepared for thi.
labor. He was not sent here to perform IT, bu
for ordinary legislation. If the resolution, which
he was glad to see the able gentle
man WHO introduced 1L was IOfce0 70 W1th0raW
was adopted, the question would be decided a
once, and the House would be converted into
Constitutional Convention. Some twenty amend
ments had been proposed this morning by on
Gentleman, and If the door was opened they woult
have hundred. They would consume their sixty
days in this work, and return, without accomplish
ing anything desirable, to their constituents. H
| repeated his argument used yesterday, that nnwil
ling submission by the people or their agents t
the force Of circumstances could not fasten upo
| them an abhorred Constitution, and. declaring hi
purpose of introducing bill for a convention
hoped the resolution before the House would b
retired. S7as3s
On motion of Mr.. Lagroue the previous question
was ordered and Mr.. Eustis was allowed to with

On motion of Mr.. Jonas, the Senate bill provid

Orleans was made the special order for 1 o'clocl
tomorrow. III 49, s5t
A resolution offered by Mr. Halsey was adopted
requiring the Finance Committee to report a

The Value OF Turf.

Very few farmers aware Of the quantity

tanned 10 q square yard of - turf - taken from
the surface Of welLset sward land. Accurate
experiments have shown that not less than
thirty tons exist in 40 acre most Of which are
ROOFS and 6bres, small portion only Of the
mass being above the surface. 1t will thus be
seen that by inverting the swards of uplands
and meadows and allowing the sward to de
compose undisturbed, moot important humus

pense.

Many are inclined to the opinion that when
