MAIN STREET WHARF.-Prepa-
rations have commenced for the
building of a wharf at the foot of
Main street. This is an undertaking
of the property-holders in that
vicinity, who being repulsed in their
attempts to obtain the official sane
ton of the municipal authorities in
the matter, set about to outfank the
City Council, in its assembly pro-
ceedings, we understand, by the
consent, "outside of court" of
majority Of the Councilmen to the
project. The wharf will be built at
private expense, and we only hope
that the parties building it may not
find their enterprise demolished by
one of those natural evils which SO
often occur in our city, resulting
from sudden sinking of the batture.
The members Of the City Council
had better turn in now and give
their official sanction to measure,
which majority Of them have sane
toned privately, after having thrice,
in official session, rejected the appli-
cation Of the petitioners for said
measure.

THE LEvEEs.-We have unfavor-
able reports as to the work on the
levee at Chinn's Crevasse, in West
Baton Rouge. We learn that there
are only some thirty-four hands en-
ployed on a work which, to secure
safety to the parish against the next
high water, should have nearly thirty
times as many employed upon it.
The most favorable season of the
year has passed for prosecuting said
work and the inhabitants are left
to anything but bright prospects and
pleasing CONCENTRATIONS for the fu-
ture. An immense amount of labor
and money expended last year in
the futile efforts of the Levee Com
m ssioners to stay the foods OF the
Mississippi, has been like SO much
thrown away to be engulphed in the
angry waters and now, being with
out financial resources, and unable
to effect a loan to advantage, the
Commissioners are at nonplus how
to better the condition of things.
Really, this anything but encoura-
ging to our West Baton Rouge
friends.

DTED-

In this city, on Sunday, October 25th,
1866, Mrs. AUGUSTINE MEARS, aged So
years, months and ID days.
This venerable and universally respected
lady died after lingering illness, super
induced by the feebleness of age. She was
for 30 many years identified with our city,
and was so remarkable in past years for
her energy, industry and kind hearted dis
position, that her departure from among
US is an event of special moment and re-
greet to our citizens. Gradually bnt surely
Death ia sundering the ties which bind us
to the honored landmarks of the past,
until now but few, very few remain, to
bear historic record in their persons, of
the times and generations long gone by,
never more to return. Bravely and we'll
did the subject of this notice perform the
tedious journey of life. The profound re-
grets of large circle of friends and rela-
tives testify to the endearlng attachment
and devotion which were felt for one
whose extraordinary longevity was marked
throughout by genuine goodness and
worth.
May the release Of her soul from its
earthly tabernacle, be to it the entering
into brighter realm of eternal bliss.
At his late residence, about miles east
of this city, on Saturday evening, the 9th
inst, JOSEPH DELANEY, aged about
35 years.
Deceased was noted for his industry and
sterling integrity. He was raised in our
midst, and his loss will be seriously felt
and lamented by many who knew him
and appreciated his manly worth.
In this Parish, on the 26th inst, MARY
ERNESTINE, daughter Of John L. and
E. A. Singleterry, aged years, Q m onths,
weeks and days.
"The bird like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
"And where Death sees smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise"

Negro Suffrage.

The New York Express, in noticing
the movement of the Chicago Timet
in favorof the constitutional amend
ment and negro suffrage, says.
The Democratic party makes no
issue on negro suffrage. and never did.
out of i'll own States. Il does no,
believe, d be sure, that the negro is
the equal of1he white man, mentally
or socially, and it does not wish to
enter into government partnership
with him, as in the Spansh.Amerioan
States, or in Jamaica, and it believes.
as a general thing, il suffrage is to be
impartial, - MS the Chicago editor sets
forth, our own mothers, sisters, wives.
and daughters ought TO enjoy il before
the negro but what the Democrats
make issue on, and ever have made
issue on, is the right of the States to
regulate their own suffrage, as well rs
their own real estate laws, or laws as
to heirship, marriage, property gen
orally, dc, dc, Or in other words,
the Democratic party believes now, rs
it has believed for eighty years, that
this is a government Of States, not n
consolidated government, and that the
people Of the States are to be govern
edundcr the mixed system Federal
and State, and not to be despoticaly
centralized with all power in Wash
ington. The proposed fifth amend !
mont to the Constitution, clothing /
Congress, by the word "Appropriate, !
with absolute power TO judge OF the
of that word appropriate,
is an usurpation to the constitutional /
on that point, if there were
no other ponts-and no true Demo
crat, no born Democrat, no real, true
Henry Clay or Daniel Webster Wing,
can eyeryxote for it.
The constitutional amendments are
killed by the votes Of Delaware and
and they can never be car
lied without revolution in and over
he Constitution. The Chicago editor
Then we shall never get /
nto power" Perhaps not, but to be
light, to be constitutional, is more i'm d
)ortant than to hold Office But it is |
lot true that we shall not get into
'ower by continuing in the right We !
re already in possession Of the Fed
raj power, by being in the right. The il
en- States now taxed without being 7
epresented can no more be kept in a
hat position than Lombardy and We il

EUROPEAN CALM-The principle Of
nationality has so completely trium.
| pied in Europe that it may be hoped
the danger Of prolonged war is at
an end.
The Italians have driven away the
haiserliehs, or more properly speaking
we had them driven away for them
to arrange matters with the Pope, who
still persists, propped by French and
mercenary troops, and against the
will of his people, to govern the Ro-
man people, is the only task that re-
mains for the Italians, and it presents
little difficulty. Prussia has for ever,
it is thought, annihilated the Federal
system, by which Germany was kept
under bya ungerman potentate, the
sovereign ofMagyars and slaves. And
there is now no stumbling block to
the Union of the German people I'M
der one sceptre and one constitution.

looking round in vain for a real friend
in Europe, aud both will, at no distant
period, End themselves reduced to
rank via the petty sovereigns who
would once have been hoRored with
their patronage
