from our we'll informed conte mporary, the

We stated some time ago that the State OF
Ion;s;ana had been taken from the Fifth
Judicial Circuit of the United States, and
would henceforth, with Texas, Arkansas
and Mississippi, form the Fourth Judicial
Circuit. the judgeship of which was vacant
by the confirmation by the Senate of
Mr.. Pearre, of Maryland, who had been
nominated thereto by President Grant sew
eral months ago.
The telegraph now announces that the
Senate has confirmed the subsequent nomi-
nation to this office of Hugh l.. Bond. We
think this gentleman is Maryland lawyer.

Judges, Messrs. Bond and Durell, Associate

Is IL Constitutional 2

The Constitution of New York provides
that no private or local bill which may be
passed by the Legislature shall embrace
more than one subject, and that shall be cx-
pressed in its title" Now, the TWEED
charter is entitled, An act TO rcorganize the
local government of the city of New York !"
and yet in section 100 this professedly local
act undertakes to repeal the law creating the
Metropolitan Sanitary District, and that
creating the Metropolitan Fire District. Not
content with saying that the city Of New
York is excepted from the provisions of "
these acts, 1t also repeats "any sections Of
statutes aud provisions Of law which created
said districts" This is clearly unconstitu-
tional
But what is the efIect2 Is It to make
the whole charter unconstitutional, or
only 10 make that particular provision
vodf If only the latter lie the case,
there is nothing to prevent the Legisla-
ture from filling local acts with general
provisions, and running for luck as to
whether they are obeyed. The rule ought
TO be that an unconstitutional provision Of

Yesterday,s Celebration.

The colored population Of this city en-
franchised by the Fifteenth Amendment,
with few Of their white friends, celebrated
this event yesterday. This 10 wen on the part
Of the new electors. They have right to
rejoice. The Amendment elevates their race
to the plane of full citizenship. We trust
they will become good voters, and not the
mere tools Of selfish politicians.
As to the whites who bore q part In this
celebration, it was all proper enough; but
they must be aware that since the formation
Of the Republican party, fifteen years ago. the
Abolitionists proper of the GARRIsoN-PHIL-
LIPS school have never been Of the slightest
practical consequence in the great contest for
the overthrow Of slavery. All the efficient
working materials among the Abolitionists
went into that party. Indeed, while we
fully appreciate the merits Of their disinter-
ested devotion 10 abstract principles, we are
bound TO cay that they were Of very
little account as separate organization
after the great Barnburner revolt Of 1913.
That conflict gave slavery blow from which
IL never fully recovered. The Republican
party, and it's tremendous vote for Fremont
in 1856, gave II the quictus. After that,
Mr.. GARRISON, Mr.. PnILLIPs, anil their fol
lowers, with all their enrnestness and oil
their genius, were but the fly on the coach

The Spanish Munchausen.


For several months past Gen. DE RoDAs has
constantly telegraphed to the Government
at Madrid that the Cuban revolution was
finally suppressed, and that he desired TO re-
turn to Spain. Hitherto these kilograms have
not been published, because they did not suit
PRTM's purpose; but on Wednesday he
brought out the last one he had received,
and it appeared in our columns yesterday.
1t declares that Gen. JORDAN has fed from
his command, and that now the revolution is
ended indeed with other details which any
intelligent person knows to be false at the
first sight of them.
This modern MUNCHAUsES tells us that
the towns of Cascorro Sbanicu, and Guaimaro
have been strongly fortified by Spanish
troops. The falsehood of this is evident
wben we state that there are no such towns
III existence. They were utterly destroyed
by Gen. QUEsADA on the 9th of June last,
and not a vcstige of them was left standing.
&c. too, the statement of this telegram
that 80 small body as two hundred Span
inrds marched from Puerto Principe to Santa
face the clearest proof of it's untruth. The
distance is siyty-six miles, and the road
runs for the whole way through a hilly
country denscly covered with virgin forests
II passes moreover close to the Cuban capital
and stronghold, the impregnable Najasa
Now, Nucvtas, the northern seaport Of
Puerto Principe is connected with that city
by railroad of forty miles, which runs
chiefly through an open and fat country.
This railroad has required some three thou
sand troops to hold it, and even on this force
attacks are frequently made. And yet we
are asked to believe dat open communica-
ton can be maintained with Santa Cruz
without railroad and without any force to
guard the road, which Is probably the best
adapted in all Cuba for guerilla warfare.
As to the captures said to have taken place
at Santa Cruz, there are no such Colonies as
MEDISA or CANCIo in the Cuban service and
Col. RECIo is with his command in Quemado
