The proposed amendments to our
State Constitution, will be found in an
other column. Let them be carefully
read and considered by every freeman of
the State. The one proposing change
in the manner of electing Judges of the
Supreme Court should attract special at
tention. This election is not too near
the people now, being done by joint bal
lot of the two houses of the legislature.
Now it is proposed-even right in the
midst Of the proposition to extend suf-
frage to women-to take it away from
the legislature and give their appoint
ment into the hands of the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate. We do not think the proposed
amendment any improvement on the pres
ent way of electing them 1t is concen-
trating power into one mans hands,
which we think had better remain where
it now is, in the hands Of the legislature.
We are aware of no evils of the present
system, therefore why should we change?

So little interest is felt IN the pend
ing election of the Constitutional Con-
vention, that it is likely to 60 by guess
or accident. Members will be chosen
without the slightest knowledge as to
the wishes or wants of their constituents,
and the interested few may thus manage
the whole affair. In view of this feeling
would it not be well to call meeting or
caucus of the freemen in the several
towns of the State, at least few days
before the election only little
more than two weeks ahead dis
cuss the propositions of amendment? 1t
is matter that the people ought to
give some thought to, and not allow it
to grope in the dark.

New ORLEANS, La,
April 8, 1870.
Mr.. EpIroR More radiently beau
tiful weather never gladdened the green
earth than we are having, and all ma
ture seems to feel the impulse of the
Joyous spring. Birds are gamboling and
singing in the trees and hedges, and bees
cover the white clover blossoms, now
ankle high. Strawberries and Japan
plums are a drug in market. Figs and
peaches are in abundance upon the trees
not yet ripe.
This is lovely city in winter compar-
ed with Vt. or the sand barrens of Flor
ida, where so many Vermonters go to exc
out doleful winter of ennui.
The wealth, literature and art of a
country centre in its largest cities which
have all the comforts and luxuries of re-
fined society, while sand barren Florida
is wilderness compared with this place.
| To give you something of an idea of
the beauties and luxuries of this city,
permit me to say, there are several streets
which are 200 feet wide, and or still
wider, with two to four rows of trees
through the middle for shade and prom
enade.
The city models after Paris in fashions
and amusements. On Shrove Tuesday,
Mardi Gras, the great carnival day of
the year, all of the dwelling houses were
turned inside out and 100000 people
frolicking in the streets. That night
there were 100 Masquerade balls prepar-
atory to fasting 40 days through Lent.
There are 80 Catholic Churches here
and only Is of all other denominations.
l have seen 100000 Catholics in one pro-
cession celebrating Saints day. On
Ash Wednesday the Catholics all rush,
jam and crowd each other in their
churches to get their turns first at the
altar, for the holy ashes which the priests
put upon their heads. If each was to
receive 800 he would not be more anx-
ious.

CHARLES DIcKENs.-Everybody will
be reading Edwin brood for year
to come, and Dickens's name will be on
every ones lips and in all the newspa.
pers. There is a fresh growth of read
ers for his novels, and we predict that
the famous novels of Dickens will be
read more this year than ever before.
In choosing an edition care should be
taken to buy one that has good clear
type. is compact and cheap. All these
qualifications are met by the Globe Edi-
ton, in IA volumes published by H. 0.
Houghton & Co. This edition also has
the advantage that it contains stories and
sketches by Dickens that are not to be
found in any other American edition.
and has besides splendid Index of
eighty pages, giving the names OF all the
wonderful characters in Dickens's nov
els, telling in what books they are to be
found, in fact, regular street directo-
ry. Happy those who know Dickens 4
characters, and happy those yet to know
them.
