The AMERICAN CONSTITUTION On TRrAL--OPIS-
ION OF AN ABLE AND DrsINTEREsTBD OBSERVER
The New York Albion, one of the ablest journals
of the day, and whose opinions and predictions
have proved since the commencement of the war,
most singularly well founded, and far seeing,
closes an able article under the above caption as
follows, which, in connection with the opinions
and avowed determination of supporting those
opinions by force if necessary, of conservative
Journals at the North, has q very important sig
nifcance:
Here then, as briefly as may be, we have sta
ted the present issue between Congress and the
President, and would add furthermore that we
believe, from what we know os the Presidents
temperament as man, that he has resolved to
resist the will of Congress, even to impeachment,
if not actually after, if he hut sees sufficient
party sustaining him, to make even a respecta-
Bile resistance. 1t is too early to speculate upon
the ultimate turn affairs political may take In
this rapidly changing and ever restless Republic
but should parties remain, until the eve of the
next Presidential eleeeien as evenly divided
throughout the entire country-of course. In
cluding@ the recently seeded States-as they
are even at the present writing, we may
again witness an appeal to the last alternative
| among men, and once more-yet we certainly
hope not-see brought home to every freside
North as well as South, the terrible reality Of
| intestine war. How long must we wait for civil
lied nations, as well individuals to learn thai
/ it is in the spirit and not in the letter. that w
must look for lasting constitutions as well as SAT-
and righteous government SnMnsans Jsts sum

Board Of Police of the Town Of
OpelousaS.
Session Of the l1th Sept, 1867.

Session of the 11th Sept, 1867.
THE BOARD have noticed with sur
4 prise and regret the appearance. on
yesterday evening, of an extra issued
and circulated from the st. Landry Pro
qress, tending-whether designed or not
to prejudice their administration of
the quarantine adopted by them for the
protection of the inhabitants of this town
against the spread and introduction of
that fatal epidemic, yellow fever, which
is threatened them on all sides.
Whilst willing and anxious to correct
and redres all and every act of injustice
or wrong, committed by their employees,
upon proper application to the President
of the Board, they have but this reply to
make, that the provisions Of their quar-
antine ordinance are mild and humane
adopted under authority cf lor and fol
purposes of sef-preservation, and that
they are determined, faithfully and i'm.
partially, irrespective of race, color, po
sition, or political combination, to en-
force them.

Two Strings TO Your Bow.

The present season, setting aside the expe-
riences of others that have gone before, is GER
tainly pregnant enough in it's teachings to con-
vince our planters of the folly of the course they
have so generally pursued, of risking everything
on the hazard of single throw, or in other
words, trusting to the uncertain crop of cotton
to pay expenses and leave profit. Some other
course must be adopted; diversity of crops
must be made and every edge made to cut; and
cutting the excellent hay that our prairies pro-
duce spontaneously, is one of the easiest and
most certain alternatives which presents itself
to make up losses or disappointment in culti-
waited crops We give below description of
the mower for which we are agent, two of which
we have sold, and can refer to the purchasersas
to their merits. We will furnish the machine,
delivered at any landing in the Parish, for $l35
which is $40 less than any one else can buy
them for who is not an agent.
This machine was one of the articles exhibited
in the American section of the Paris Exposition,
which gained gold medal The following des-
cription of its construction will explain It's work
ing and it's merits: The machine runs upon two
driving wheels, each furnished with an internal
gear, which meshes into ratchet gear wheels,
thus making OF each an Independent driving
wheel The driving wheels are placed the night
distance apart, to run in the tracks made for
them by the track clearer, and thus avoid rum
ming over the cut crop. The entire frame, upon
which is placed the gearing, is supported Dy and
tits upon the main axle The tongue Ii pivoted
at its rear end to the main axle, by cast iron
connection, which supports the driver upon
spring seat !; this seat can be removed at pleas.
ure, and is so placed that the drivers weight
balances entirely the weight OF the tongue, SO
that there is no pressure upon the horses neeks
A hinge connection is formed between the mn
ger-bar with it's cutting apparatus and the main
frame by cast iron shoe piece; this shoe piece
is furnished with a recess for the fnger-bar OF
the proper place. The rear end of the shoe being
pivoted to casting upon the lower SIDE OF the
main frame near the axle, the casting being fur
nished with vertical slot for the reception o1
the rear end of the main shoe, the front end ol
the shoe il connected by hinge to steel spring
which is boted firmly 70 the front outer corner
of the main frame, so that the shoe has the tune
ton of turning upon an axis in the line OF its
length, as well as a vertical motion by reason o.
the slot at its rear. and the spring connection al
its forward end. The shoe has also attached ..
it leading wheel, which can be graduated. a
smaller wheel is placed upon the dividing snos
at the outer end of the finger r-bar, and by means
of the two wheels, the height OF the stubbte cal
be regulated. A new lever arrangement 10 aI
tached to raise the fnger-bar to pass onstrue
tions and hold it at any desired height botn enal
of the bar being raised at the same time. Al
arrangement for throwing in and out OF gear
is made precisely as heretofore, a constructor

- We learn from the stage driver from
below that the yellow fever has almost en-
tirely disappeared from New Iberia. Deaths
there are now very uncommon.
He also informs us that there are about twenty
cases iii Nermillionville We could learn nothing
in regard to the deaths. Neither have we learn
ed anything from st. Martinsville, where, 10 or
u days aGo, it was reported the yellow fever
was prevailing.
There are yet about twenty cases under treat,
1aent At Washington. Six or seven deaths have
occurred during the week but the disease now
appears to be less mali gnant.
We are happy to announce that thanks to the
Quarantine Ordinances adopted by our Town
Council, strictly observed and approved by the
great majority of the citizens of our town, we
are yet exempt from this terrible disease. To
our Town Council and particularly to our eff
cient Mayor, Mr.. King the gratitude of this
community is due

Gardening fOa. Women.

| There is nothing better for wives and daugh-
ters, physically, than to have the care of q gar
den-a hower-pfot, if nothing more. What is
pleasanter than to spend portion ofevery pass
ing day in working among plants, and watching
the growth OF shrubs, and trees. and plants, and
to observe the opening of flowers from week to
week, as the season advances Then, how much
it adds to the enjoyment to know that your own
hands have planted and titled them! This is
pleasure that requires no great riches nor pro-
found knowledge. The humble cottage of the
labor ring poor, not less than their grounds, lnay
be adorned with pot-plants; which in due time
will become redolent of rich perfume, not less
than radiant with beauty--thus ministering to
the love of the beautiful in nature.
The wife and daughter who loves home, and
would seek ever to make it the best place for
husband and brother, is willing to forego some
gosslping morning calls, for the sake OF having
leisure for the cultivation of plants, and shrubs
and flowers. The good housewife is early among
her plants and flowers as is the husband at his
place of business. They are both utilitariuns
the one it may be in the abstract and the other
in the concrete, each as essential to the EN-
joynlent of the other, the real and ideal in
human life. The lowest utiltaransm would la
Dor only for the meat that per;sheth Those of
higher and nobler views, would labor with no
less assiduity for the substantial things which

The advantage which woman personally de-
rives from stirring the soil and snutfing the morn
ing air, are freshness and beauty of cheek and
brightness of eye. cheerfulness of temper, vigor
of mind, and purity of heart. Consequently she
is more cheerful and lovely daughter. more
digniiied and womanly sister, and more at
traetive and confiding as a wife.
