The OUACHIPIA TELEGRAPH is inn
mensely in earnest about getting new
Constitution for Louisiana UDsOU
Conservative. ... .
Indeed we are. Weknow aud feel the
danger of delay. Louisiana is not re-
deemed. The source of all our ills and
troubies-the Constitution OF 1868, de-
nounced by J Judge Ludeling and Judge
Crawford, prominent Republicans
yet the fundamental law of the State.
There is not Il good citizen in the
State, aud certainly not u good lawyer,
who does not abflor that instrument.
1t can be interpreted, but the interpre-
tatiou has been seldom used for the
benefit Of the people. We demand Il
change fundamental change. The
election of Nichols and of II Demo-
ginning of reform, and nothing more.
The Democrats have jumped the hare,
but the hare has not been caught.
Like the dog in the fable, the Demo-
Gratis have stopped to blunder. We
congratulate the white people OF Ala
bama, Georgia and Mississippi. They
have reformed Constitutions, aud no
matter who goes into power, all the
people are safe. They need have no
tear now of negro domination, ,or carpet.
bag rule, because the organic law in
each OF those States has been changed
to meet the changed condition of affairs
la the Southern States. Louisiana,
alone, Is the resnnant-the frazzled end
of Radical rule-and thcre does not
appear to be statesmanship enough in
the General Assembly, or prominent
State officials, to appreciate the perilous
condition in which every good citizen
of this State stands. This is not Il time
for subterfuges, for inaction, or delay.

President:
Is Pl:OCI4AMATION. t.TknEs
The completed circle Of summer and
winter, seed time ami harvest, has
brought us to the accustomed season at
which religious people celebrate with
praise and thanksgiving the enduring
mercy of Almighty God. This devout
and public confession of constant de-
pendence of man upon the Divine
Father for all the good gifts Qf life and
health, and peace and happiness, 80
early in our history made the habit of
our people, finds in a survey of the past
year new grounds for its joyful and
grateful manifestation in all blessings
This has been u memorable year over
the wide territory Of our country. With
all its diversity of soil, and climate,
and products, earth has yielded boun-
tiful returns to the labor of the hus-
bapdman. The health of the people
has been blighted by no prevalent or
widespread diseases. No great disas-
ters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to
CUR commerce on the seas have brought
loss and hardship to merchants or mar
liners, aud clouded the happiness Of the
community with sympathetic sorrow.
In all that concerns our strength, and
peace, and greatness as nation; in all
that affects the character and DISPOSE
ton of our people, and tests our capac-
ity to enjoy and uphold the equal and
free condition of society, now perma-
nent and universal throughout the
land, the experience Oi the last year is
conspicuousiy marked by the protect
.~f N-l Is, f.,l1 u
hope and promise TO coming genera
tions. F ..-. ..s ........
Under sense of the infinite Obliga-
tions to the Great Ruler of times and
seasons and events, let US hunbly as
cribe to our own faults and frailties, if
in any degree that perfect concord and
happiness, faith and justice, which such
great Inercies should diffuse through
the hearts and lives Of our people, do
not altogether and always and every
where prevail. Let US, with one spirit
and one voice, lift up praises and
thanksgiving to God for His manifold
goodness to our land-His manifest care
for the nation. .-..,-... ,... H..
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford b.
Hayes, President of the United States,
do ar. point Thursday, the 18th day Of
November next, as q day of national
thanksgiving and prayer; and earn
estly recommend that, withdrawing
themselves from secular cares and la
bors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their
respective houses of worship, there to
give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for His lnercies, and to devoutly
beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of our
Lord one Thousand eight hundred aud

Mr.. .Pendleton is thought to have the
lead in the Ohio Senatorial contest, but
this docs not mean that he has the best
chance of success. He probably has q
larger number of votes than any other
candidate, but he has not enough to
elect, aud is liable, therefore, to be
dropped for some candidate who is now
Tar behind him.. The chances are that
neither he nor Ewing will be elected.
Ex-Congressman Payne is likely to de-
velop a good deal of strength, though
he labors under the disadvantage Of
being much too good for his party. He
is decidedly the best man named for
the place. General Durbin Ward, an
other sound-lnoney Democrat, has con-
siderable following, and so has Gen.
Morgan, who is anything but a sound.

The attempt of the Radical leaders of
New Orleans to revive the 'dtooping
spirits of their partisans, BY raising the
question of the mixture of races in the
public schools, has met, as 1t was bound
to meet, u crushing rebuke... Judge
Rightor, of the Sixth District Court,
has made absolute the motion to dis
solve the injunction; the grounds being
that the separation of races, NO more
than the separation OF sexes, in the
public schools, where both races and
sexes are respectively afforded equal
advantages,d does not constitute y wrong,
an injury or u damage 10 either or both
those races; also, that practically an
injunction cannot be perpetaated when
the act complained of has already been
completed; and the court further holds
that the Complainant "a custom house
negro, by the way, set up by Pinch-
back cannot make himself the cham
pion of whole class-but that, as he
has failed to designate what particular
school of the district of his residence
has refused to receive whites and
blacks, his prayer for relief is too vague
to disclose any vested interest id him.
OF course, the applicant, will appeal,
and finally try to carry the case up to
United States Supreme Court. : ~, 49, - il.
