The Vienna Mm'Ml is not in
favor Of Il Constitutional Eonvrn-
ton. and holds that the LrHI>ia-
TIVE "1an do and propose AL that
is necessary to make oar Constr
tuition what it ShouM be- The
Sentinel, we are sure, does not
mean to say .hat the Legislature
is any better or wiser than the
people of this State, who certain
" have the right to Sugnc5t on pro.
pose such Constitutional changes
as they may desire. If it is lett
with the Legislature to propose,
the people are Shorn Of all power
save to o1opt o. TG'crt. But the
Sentinel knocks into a pie its
whole opposition to the ConStitu-
tional Convention. which OPPOSE
ton We are constrained to say is
very weak. by attempting to emu
mcratc the changes needed to
make "0W' Constitution rs GOOD as
it should hc." If these changes
arc brought about, there will be
precious little OF "our ConStItu-
ton left.
The Sentinel says:
It is true, there are many changes
needed. Legislators are too numrr-
Gus and ought to tie reduced. Tile
judicial districts of the State need re-
arranying-wc have too many judges.
The State ought to be rcdi>trictcd SO
as to reduce the number : ia this wa!
the expenses of the State could bt
considerably curtai|ea. The salar!
of parish judges ought to be the sam,
in every parish. The Legislature
ought to convene only once in two
years in regular session. The pres
cnt registration system ought to DC
abolished. A poll tax receipt ough
to be sufficient, and that only entltl'
man to approach the polls and cas-
his vote. The tax collectors and
slclifI"s Offices should be one. The
same officer can attend to the 1ntie'
of both offices. The Clerks and Re-
corder's offices should be one. II
fact, the changes that could hc made
to reduce taxation are too numerous
to mention If we could think of all 0
them.

The Constitutional Convention.

The reasons assigned by those who
oppose State Constitutional Con-
vention are so larded with complaints
OF the present OBJECT under which
we labor, that their NO, is like the
young girls, means yeas.
We want State Constitution ! We
want it because the present lustru-
ment is a fraud full of imperfectons,
bristling with rank degradation. This
folly Of talking of cost j.! is getting
to be pat argument with South
ern people as it has always been with
the Northern, which we are sorry to
see. Cost! why the present consti-
tuition will cost Taxpayers more
money in the end than a dozen con-
ventions and elections.
The Press of this State, with but
one exception, stand in solid unison
for this constitutional convention,
and the popular sentiment is fully
represented by the expression Of that
press. If the legislators, when as
sembled at New Orleans next winter,
do not heed it or attempt to play
their usual high tone dodge ofpay-
ing emo heed to the demands of rus
tics,' the people will elect a set Of
men who will represent them, and do
so firstly by obcying their behests.

POSTAL COMMITTEE.
Attention Mayors and Citizens.
NEW ORLEANS, Aurust - IS.

NEW ORLEANS, August %, ISL.
The undersigned, a COMMITTEE" on pos
tai rrlatirn>. appointed by Che mayor of
New Orleans, i'll trrthrranc" Of the plans
and suggestions of the postal convention
held i'll July at Old Point Camfnrt, desire.
the cooperation of other sections Of the
State.
We therefore suggest that the Mayors
of cities and towns in the interior should
appoint committees to acqnirc informa-
ton as to:
|. Any reform or mproycment needed
in routes now established,
=. Information rs to s'lrh rnntcs as
were once established aHl now abandon
ed. and which should be resumed.
;. AS to new routes required.
These committees might report direct
ly to the members of congress from their
respcctiv" districts, or thl0Ngh this com
mittce to the postal commission appoint
ed by congress.
IT IS the intention Of this committee to
60 operate with the postal commission
ana the members Of congress from Loui-
slana, to the end that We may secure an
equal share of the appropriations for the
postolficc department and that our COM
mcrclal and agricultural interests may
not longer suffer for the wait Of an eff
Gent and extended mail service.
For the renewal Of old routes or the
establishment of new one, we would Sug.
gcst that diagrams be appended to a
petition setting forth the towns or set
tlcmements through which the routes
should pass, the population which would
be thereby supplied, distances between
points where pOstotfices should be cstab>
lishcl, and the products of the section.
These petitions should D. IS extensive
ly circulated and siync,i IS possible by
the officials and citizens of such neigh
borloods as would be benefited by the
proposed mail facilities.
1t would be well to have separate
petition and diagram for carh route re-.
quired.
As to the irTesistabilities to be cor
rected Or improvements needed, it would
be we'll to attach the certificates to the
facts stated of the wstlnastcrs along the
route, or at least of those at the termini
of the rout'.
Any member Of the committee will re-
ceive communications as to postal bust.
ness, and bring the matter to the atteIi-
ton of the committee.
To render etfectual orr efforts, COM
punications should be sent i'll without
delay, as during September the proposals
for small bids for mail services in this
State will be prepared for publication on
the first of October.
Newspapers desiring to cooperate will
please publish this circular, and endeavor
to create among their constituencies APP
probation of the Importance of these
measures.

We were not born a newspaper
man, but for the past three or four
years We have devoted no little time
to the editorial management of a
country paper, aud at this moment
we have to say, in summing up our
experience, that country newspaper
is what its editor chooses to make it.
4 weekly paper it will remain but it
can be a much better weekly than
those published in cities. 1t may not
be as large but its influence will be
greater. Our subscription list is 1853,
double we suppose that Of any coun-
try paper in the state, and it is safe
to say that at least ten thousand pvo-
pie read the NINnICAToE weekly.
We have cndeavored to "forye
ahead' as it were with our paper, to
make it something more that a re-
ceptacle fer sewing machine compa-
MES and piano or organ advertising.
There is a point which many old
newspaper men overlook which is,
that it takes )VadUs to make coun-
try paper if YOU have readers adver-
Using will follow. as certain as dav
follows night, and to secure these
readers a country journal must be
something else than badly printed,
patent in or outside, sissors made up
"slouch." Papers published in the
country fail because they have not
made themselves II necessity, and we
look at our list of exchanges and find
plenty that will never become a ne.
cessity.

THE COTTON WORN,
Its RaYagcs in NatcNiscches.
Paris Green a Sure Remedy.

SO far The 1avages of the caterpi'-
lar can be very we'll stated. During
the past week the battle was hot
one between the farmer with his
Paris Green and the cotton worm -
and victory has perchc1 on the Sp:'nl
ling pot.
Where ever tive poison was applied
/ in time, its success was marked, and
those fields of cation which to day
arc clothed with leaves of living green
arc monuments to the efficacy of the
cotton worm destroyer.
From Mr.. Chalcr's place down to
| the mouth of Cane River all farms,
where Paris Green has not been aopli
cd, have been swept by The worm. In
other sections the same story tells the
result.
Mr.. Amb. Sompayrac from the
Tiger Island nci .hhorhood reports a
victory for Poison, as do Coz. Sam
IIyamS, Mr. Henry lIyams, and other
gentlemen. Other planters near them
have had their crops eaten mp.
MesSrs. A. Sample, A. Maranovich,
and others from Clruticlville. state
substantially, what we have reported
above with regard to the Cane River
crop.
Within the immediate section of
this city. every place, bnt two or
! three, is safe: those two or thee are
eaten mp because the Green was not
applied in time, or because the farmer
would not apply it from sheer bull
heaAelncss.
Mr.. Joseph Fellows reports old
River farms clean of leaves, save
those that were poisoned.
We can safely dcduce this fact from
actual demonstration: the Pats
Green is a certain poison, and it's use
will save cotton crops, but it SHOULD
he used car'icr-t|at is. when Tie
worms are first discovered; when they
appear in the crop here and there, is
the time to apply the poison. Kill
the first generation, and the second
and third will never come.
No estimate has yet been made of
the loss sustained from the dpstruc-
ton, but it is considerable NO doubt.
some will lose half their crop, while
others not so much.
