A Louisianian S Opinion Of the Conven-
ton.

a Louisianian, who visited Annapolis since
the Constitutional Convention has been in SEES
sion, in II lstcr to the New Orleans Crescent,
after detailing what he saw in tic Ancient City,
thus speaks of the Constitutional Convention
now i'll session:
Leaving the Senate Chamber,- was ushered
into very different scene. In the Hall OF k.p.
resentativcs, the Constitutional Convention of
Mary land was holding high debate. Altogether
the delegates were respectable and even good
looking body Of men, for politicians There
were some venerable heads there, descended from
the old line and few strongly marked men,
berS of the Celtic and Latin races.
Judge Carmichael, the President of the Con-
vention, is a hale, hearty, middlc-aged gentle
man, governing the proceedings with sense and
dignity. Ills work is not, however, very diff
cult, the delegates being very orderly and gen
tCel, for crowd of State politicians
Some OF tie prominent speakers were absent
during my VISIT but had the good fortune 10
hear Mr.. Farnandis, II man of decided talent and
very fair oratorical powers. lie was listened to
very respectfully by the Convention, and re-
tanned their attention by IL frank, succinct state
ment of his points. The question of intrusting
the Governor with the veto power was under
debate, and there was evidently growing feel
ing in the Convention in favor OF limiting its
exercise, if not for its total abolition Mr..
FarnandS sustained this latter view, on the
ground that three readings of bill formed II
sufficient guard against hasty legislation.
General Mckaig, II big, burly man, half far
mer, half soldier, took the other view, and
claimed his own experience as an argument
against the sulHcIcncy Of those readings to pro-
tect the State from mprudeut legislation.
Mr.. Farnandis reiustated himself however,
by protesting that the General could not instance
single important piece of legislation winch he
had not become acquainted with under the ope-
ration Of the three-reading rule, stating his point
SO as to compliment the General on his industry
and acuteness
Altogether, the scene was very interesting,
and some OF the parties engaged would acquit
themselves well in greater arena. ANY how,
1t was relief after the late sessions of the nation
al Congress, where rational discussion was out
of the question, and courtesy beyond possibility.
IT Congress attempts to reconstruct Maryland, it
will overturn the acts of a political body worthy
10 be its peer and its leader in many elements Of
Craftsmanship. The proceedings of this conso-
vative convention will doubtless be ratified by
the people of the State, and Maryland will thus
be redeemed from the rule of her radical opprcs-
sors.

Independence Day.

The Fourth passed off very quietly here
Most of the places of business in the town were
closed, and this and School Festival at the
Court House was all that marked the day above
any Other The celebration of the Fourth OF
July has almost fallen into disuse of late, which,
although much to be regretted, cannot he unex-
pected, seeing that, of late years, no regard or
respect is shown, even by those in authority, to
the work done or sacrifices made by the patriots
and sages who have passed to their reward.
1t is melancholy to think that our legislative
halls, together with most of the prominent places
of the country, are now filled by men who have
scarcely any respect for themselves, much. less
for the memories Of the great mem who have
gone before Is, and whose example they should
at least try to initiate. Yet such is tie ract.
The causes Of this ure well defined by writer
whose political opinions are not fully disclosed
in his article on the present condition of society
from which we quote:
1.-The rapid deterioration of public morals
since the la;e rebellion began is one of the very
sad offsets TO the benefits which are believed by
many to have resulted from the events to which
IT led. All things seem to have concurred dur,
ing It's brief but exciting history, to demoraze
ofhcial character, business tone, and even social
relations. The most ardent admirer of political
results will not deny that the community has
been lamentably depraved. The standard of
public virtue and private integrity is many de-
grets lower than it was. Money has been so
ahnndant, speculation has run 50 high, reckless
wealth and ruin from fraud and folly have
changed so many positions and unsettled so
many lives, that an unnatural stimulus has been
given to evil agencies. The law seems to be less
potent and omEipresent. Crime and violence
run riot; and those whose mission is reform,
seem to have, day by, day less heart for the
work. Years must eapse before the current of
vice can he made to st backward even under
the most favorable influences Shall we have
such influences rs our government equal to the
emergency! Is 1t capable of assuming that new
VIgor ana trmntss which are necessary to bring
us back even to where we were seven years ago."
lie prospect is rather hopeless. This govern
ment, to which the pure and earnest citizen is
LOOKING Tor reform, now that it has escaped from
lis recent danger, is sliding more into the hands
of the dangerous classes. Men to whom human
lie and the laws of property are nothing, mani
puiate primary meetings and set up candidates
for office. Gamblers and lottery men are active
in political campaigns, md ARE becoming so
fo'midal lie in their union that politicians trucke
TO them more than ever, and submit to the pledg-
es they exact. Revolutionary organizations
have powers which no association for good can
acquire. An the elements for evil seem to unite,
as if they had common end and a common in
tcrcst, and this union is against good morals
and against good government.

Not Yet Satisfied.

General Butler does not appear to be entirely
satisfied with the result of the assassination
trials yet. The other day he offered II resolution
in the House, about half of which was adopted,
appointing committee to investigate the matter
of the assassination, and find out, if possible, the
guilty parties. If there are any persons Mt large,
connected with that murder, try them, we say,
but be sure that the light persons ale punished.
Get all the proof that can possibly be gathered,
but save the nation the disgrace and mortfca-
ton of any more Connover testimony, AID let
there be ud'tonvictions merely for the purpose
of covering ZIP former blunders or misdeeds.-
Let whoever is guilty suffer the penalties of a
violated.aw, but keep out of the investigation
hatred, malice and party rancor. Take care,
General, that your witnesses are reliable and
trustworthy people, and then let the response
bility fall where it may, 80 that the guilty only
may be brought to punishment and the innocent
set at liberty This is the only character of
trial which can or ought to command the respect
Of any class of men who properly respect them
selves.
