2. The commanding general having been Off
cially notified of the ratification OF the l4th article
of amendment to the Constitution OF the United
States by the legislature of the State Of Louisiana
on the 9th instant it becomes his duty, under the
act of Congress which became a law June 18th,
1865 and the orders Of the general Of the army to
announce TO the people of the State, and to the
troops under his command. that the provisions OF
the reconstruction acts OF Congress cease to Oper
ate in Louisiana from this date. Military authority
will no longer be exercised under the reconstruc
ton acts in said State, and all officers commanding
posts or detachments are forbidden to interfere in
civil affairs, unless upon proper application by
the civil authorities TO preserve the peace, or
der instructions duly received from the command
ing general of the ds 'rict. Military law no longer
exists. The civil Law is supreme.
All civil officers now acting under authority OF
appointments from these headquarters, will at
nee transfer their Offices, with the records, funds
and property pertaining thereto, to their successors
who have been declared duly elected, and who
have qualified under the laws of the State. All
other records properly belonging to the State
will be transferred to the proper State officers.
The commanding general cannot sever the rela-
tons heretofore existing between the State and
| himself, without congratulating the people upon
an event which fully restores Louisiana to her for
mer position among the other States of the Union,
and to all her rights under the Constitution.
Peace and quiet marked the late election, show
ing the softeniDg influences of mutual forbearance.
| Should such fOrbearance animate the councils OF
the State the era Of kind feeling will return, and
the highest prosperity of the people will be at
| tanned. Er
That this may be the result under the guidance
| of a merciful Providence, is his devout and ear
nest prayer. May her restoration to the benefits
| of our beloved Union mark the com nencement OF
a new era of prosperity and happiness for her
| people.

THE GREAT RATIFICATION MEETING.-1ne
Democratic State Central Committee have
fixed on next Saturday evening as fitting
time for holding the great Democratic meet
ing. ratifying the nominations of the New
York National Convention.
The nominees for the presidency and vice
presidency are so well known, so acceptable
md SO popular among all Democrats through
out the country, that it is not deemed
necessary to go into any particularities here
regarding their merits and their claims. 1t
is sufficient to say that, next Saturday even
ing, there is to be a mass meeting of the gal
liant Democracy, on Lafayette Square, in
honor of Seymour and Blair. The bare an
nouncement will stir the hearts of our citi-
Eens like the blast of a trumpet; and such a
demonstration, so overwhelming in numbers
and enthusiasm, so united and resolved in
determination to succeed in the triumphant
election of their candidates, shall never have
been witnessed in the South.
The CRESCENT would suggest to the citizens
of New Orleans that public and private
buildings be illuminated, and every Other
manifestation made that can show the fervol
and intensity of the people for the success O.
SEYMOUR and BLAIR
The programme will probably be published
in to-mo1Tows CRESCENT, giving the route o
the procession, the names of speakers, etc.

pOrta In the Supplement.

We are gratifed to learn that Lueien B.
Maxwell, who possessed ranch on the Taos
river, in New Mexico, long before the war,
who owned it during the war, and is still
owner of an immense tract Of land along the
banks of that stream, has lately discovered a
gold mine of considerable value on his estate.
Mr.. Maxwell was outside of the lines of con-
fict and CONSUMPTION during those weary
years; but Gen. Albert S. Johnston's COM
panions, on their long and suffering journey
from California to the Confederacy, will re-
member with pleasure the welcome they re-
ceived when they reached Lucien Maxwell's
ranch. Since the outbreaks of the frontier
Indians, many officers of the regular army Of
the United States have had reason to rejoice
IN Mr. Maxwelrs hospitality, and will also be
glad to hear of his good fortune.
