From this time forward we trust no

statesman, official or citizen will say
:tught against the speedy assembling

unless they all express decided opin-
ions and evince faith by work on this
important subject, and to the end that
it may be accomplished, they are open
to serious reflection, and are justly
liable to DO charged With motives
which, to say the least of it, are I'M
patriotic.
Opponents to the Constitutional Con-
vention have been met ut all points
aud severely routed, and now the
Nindicator desires to hurl against

Article LAT of the document we are

We do not very well understand the.
parish. They We're among the first to
begin the war outright against Radi-
cn1ism in 1868. The Opelousas riot of
that year was decisive and is ine,nor-
able. Whether II. G. Anderson was
then Democrat, or n participant IN
the riot, or what happened at that
time, or since, is Il matter considerably
mixed up in our recollection. Times
have changed wonderfully aud we have
changed with them, but what is worse
we have not kept II notebook. st.
Landry is Il very largo parish, and is
populated, IA we have been told, with
good white people. But there seems
to be something wrong either about
the people, or about our information.
We cannot understand, for exam pie,
he is said to have in that parish. He
was one OF the first Of the leading
Democrats in the State to follow War
moths lead. Anderson was ut the
time member of the Legislature,
elected as n Democrat. There were
other Democrats who followed War
moth, but most Of them retired to pri-l
Vate life soon after, and very few of the
number have since come prominently
before the people. But Tom Anderson
has. His record is well known, and it
is to the discredit of st. Landry parish
that he is considered all over the State
as the most influential man in that
parish. We have another trouble to
contend with in trying to understand
the st. Landry Democracy. Why is it
that the Police Jury, Town Council of
Opeiousas and the Democrats generally
OF that parish give their patronage to
the Journal. the organ, at one time, of
the Republicans, instead of the Courier
which has always been true to the
Democrats, and which is now published

THE WORK OF THE coMMlTTEE.
1Shreyeport Times.1

From the results of their labors
yesterday the committee engaged in
subscriptions to the railroad
are sanguine of securing at least $35 900
within a few days, and of securing $780,
GOO before long. There are several par
ties who will subscribe literally soon as
they are satisfied the people generally
are willing t., aid in the work. In I'D
dition to the amounts actually subscrib-
ed u very considerable amount will be
given upon the plan we have before.
mentioned--sO much for each mile
of completed road. For Instance, we
were informed that ono gentleman
who, subscribed $500 said he would
give $50 per mile as the work progress
ed, 50, 900 for the, hundred miles. ~ 81
'rhe friends. of the enterprise have
been led to believe that the director,
OF the company chartered by the State.
would willingly cooperate with them
in the accomplishment of this work, SO
earnestly desired by the people at large
and Of such vital importance to the
future of, Shreveport, and hope they
will not he disappointed in that belief.
Those gentlemen have expressed II
Willingness 1--WE leave out of the nrgu-
ment the question of their right to
impede the progress of tile work, for
in our earnest desire ia. see the enter
prise pushed to completion, or at least
gotten we'll under way, we have been
unwilling to say anything calculated
to increase the feeling that has unfor-
tunately been aroused in the discussion
of the suhject) to make TERMS satisf,cto-
ry to all parties as soon as they were
CONVINCED a sufficient amount could be
raised to justify Il hope that the work
could be done. We trust that the
amounts already subscribed and those
in prospective will convince them that
the people are in earnest and are will
ing to put up money on the PROPOSE
ton. 1t should be borne in mind, by
the-by, that these subscriptions would
be larger but for the tangle into which
the affair has got. g..
The committee and Il representative
of the company will meet this forenoon
at 10 O'Clock to talk the matter over
and we sincerely hope all difficulties
will be ainicably adjusted. Although,
in times past, our citizens have indufg-
ed in a good deal of gush on the sub
ject of railroads, and although a resi-
dence here Of nearly thirty-dve years
has taught US, as general thing, to
place slight confidence in mere talk
we believe we are not mistaken in
the opinion that the people were never
before SO much in earnest, SO fully
united, or so thoroughly realized the
absolute Importance OF doing some
thing to save the place from rapid de-
cay, as they arc on this question of
railroad connection with the Mis-
sissippi. 1t is not looked upon as a
visionary or impracticable scheme.
All recognize the fact that it will prove
the most profitable, as it is the most
important short line of railroad in the
United States; and hence are s:,nguine
that the building Of even ten miles
will be almost equivalent to Il com
pletiOn Of the entire road.
Under these circumstances, we repeat,
we are hopeful that the interview re-
ferrcl to will result satisfactorily to all
parties.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis be-Democrat, referring to
the bill for the repeal of the national
bankrupt net introduced by Senator
McCrecry, OF Kentucky, says:
There is a strong pressure from all
directions in favor of this measure.
Senators and Representatives from the
large cities seem to be all in favor Of it.
They say the bankrupt law has operat-
ed almost entirely in favor of fraud and
swindling, and where it has benefited
one honest man it has permitted twenty
rogaes to cheat their creditors. The
repeal of the bill will undoubtedly pass
both houses, perhaps before Christmas.

The Prince Imperial is reported to
suffer seriously at present from lame
ness. When very young, Nelaton per-
formed an operation on his foot, and
the lameness caused by this was ag-
gravated by an accident last year at
Dorking. Some young officers return
ing FROM Aldershot prepared Il bonfire
in the garden of IA hotel, as Il surprise
for the Prince on his arrival there;
when tho bonfire was in full blaze, one
of the officers took the Prince upon his
shoulders and carried him up close to
the fire, standing with his burden on a
broken pillar, so rs to be able to look
into the heart Of the fire. a sudden jet
of flame from one of the tar barrels
came SO near the young officers face
that he started, and the Prince lmperi
al, losing his balance, was pitched into
the fire. He was dragged out ut once,
but not before he had sustained some
severe burns, and especially one on his
leg, which has seriously aggravated
the original lameness. This story has
L somewhat fanciful air.

The Sparta Times has an articl

The Sparta Times has an article
headed "Degradine the Press,n the
point in which, as explained by an
other article in the same paper in reply
to the Morellouse Clarion, is that one
editor ought not to say that another
editor is opposed to q constitutional
convention because he is in ofiice-one
of the ms and not an out. t.t,i..
We have no part in the controversy
between the Times and the Clarion,
hut we shall have to remind the Times
that the Alexandria Democrat, a paper
opposed to a convention, first mem
TONED the question of the ms and the
outs. We, at the time, promptly re-
pudiated any such consideration and
said it ought not to be thought of in
discussing such a grave question as the
formation of a new constitution. We
have been perfectly willing 10 let the.
people say what officials they will
have. One of the ssouts," we have not
wanted and do not want an office, and
we have not been Influenced by offices
or officers in urging the Immediate
calling Of a constitutional convention.
How is it, however, with the papers
opposing the measure? Will the editor
Of the Times consult his list? There is
something in vino owns a paper and
gives it tone-very often more than
who is the editor. There are precious
few really independent newspapers,
owned by their editors and published
independent of rings and officials, and
the number that dare give expression
to the editor's sentiments independent
of suggestions or consequences, is not
less rare. t. s..4 ...-I;. ,,.io
We have never thought about the
official lives OF the men now in office
in this State. They are good enough
for all practical purposes-and no bet
tor than other men who might have
been elected to the same positions.
There is no monopoly of Office. The
only monopoly is that of the peoples
will and choice. II all the officers in
the State were to commit suicide to-
morrow, or to proclaim themselves
hereditary princes, in neither case
would it alter the necessity for IL good
constitution. We want to get rid, once
and forever, of Radicalism, and for one
we would not hesitate to send every
officer in the State to Alaska if it were
necessary for the formation OF /. new
constitution. When the present al5oin-
Unable. organic law is no longer in ex-
istence, we shall be content, and assured
that the State is redeemed, but not
until then. And then there can he no
mistakes-no two tales in any one's
mouth "

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The subject Of calling a Convention
to frame u new Constitution Tor this
State is still being ngitated. The whole
country press, with few exceptions, il
in favor Of the project, and we believe
they represent the sentiment Of 1.
majority Of the people in the State.
Since the subject has been under dis
c,lssion, so many defects have been
brought to light, that the idea Of i'm
proving the old one by amendments,
seems to US, to be utterly ridiculous.

are universally in favor of q new con-
stitution, and we trust that the matter

The preliminary skirnish in the
Senate over the Louisiana case was
continued and finished yesterday, the
credentials of Mr.. Spofrord, the Demo-
cratic Senator elect from that State,
being referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections by the close
vote of 36 to 33. David Davis voted
with the Democrats Messrs. Booth,
Christiancy, and the three carpet
baggers, COnover, Patterson and Spen-
Ger, voted with the Republicans. In
the discussion which preceded the
voting, there were suggestions Of the
sharp talk to come Oh both sides of the
chamber; Mr.. Thurman, for instance,
tainted the Republicans with their
nervous anxiety to stave OFF the inn
pending collision on the party track,
to which twitting ON facts Mr.. Ed
nunds could only oppose II generality
about the covering up of differences
never having been Il Republican :,c-
cOmplishment. BY similar party votes
the Senate refused to instruct the COM
mittee to report by November l, and
ordered it to report upon the creden-
tails Of VIM. Pitt Kellogg. What the
report will be is sufficiently foreshad-
owed by the remark of Il member of
the COMMITTEES, Mr.. Wadleigh Of New
Hampshire, that they We're ready to
recommend the seating Of Kellogg at
once. Mr.. Thurnan's motion to swear
in MIR. Eustis of Louisiana was ruled
out OF order, aud l, subsequent motion
to discharge the committee from the
further consideration of Mr.. Eustis's
credentials was sent over by an ohjec-
ton. 1t is painfully evident that the
old, dreary debate is soon to be upon
MS again in all its horrors.-Ne'c York
