HAVE WE A CONSTITUTION ?

Has the State OF Louisiana constitution
This is momentous question, and one which
we desire to PROFOUND 10 the anti-conyention-
lists. Constitutions have their birth In the
will Of the people, and exist by their consent
and not by their mere sufferanee. That
the present exists by sufferance only,
none can deny; and the Democratic
party of this State stands ON record
as denying the validity Of the constitution OF
1868 and protesting by all things holy and
sacred against the doctrines 1T embodies,
against the manner In which 1t was framed,
and against the methods by which 1t was
thrust upon the State. At the time OF its
promIlgation the Democratic party denied
that 1t was made by the people or for the peo-
pie, and Il they would be consistent they can
not allow IL to remain In force or by amend
ing ii acknowledge It's binding force In proof
of the fact that this constitution was not
adopted by the people we have only to refer to
the ordinance submitting 1t for approval.
This provides that 1t "shall be submitted for
ratification to the registered voters OF the
State in conformity 10 the act OF Congress
known as the reconstruction act. under which
nearly all the intelligence and virtue OF the
State was disfranchsed ELECTORS who were
qualified under the reconstruction acts Of
Congress shall vote, and none others This

this instrument for ratification. Who were
the persons qualified under those acts An
swer this question and then say III this In
strument was called into existence by the
will of the people Of Loulsiana-if by them 1t
was made the fundamental lawr
Let ,1s take one article of this constitution
of 1868 and ask II It is the will of the people OF
this State. Article 80 disfranGhlsed three
fourths of those whom the Democratic party
maintains are the true people Of the State.
"Those who held Office, civil or military, for
one year or more, under the organization
STYLED The Confederate States Of America
those who registered themselves as enemies
of the United States; those who acted as
leaders of guerilla bands during the late rebel
lion: those who, Ia the advocacy Of treason
wrote or published newspaper articles or
preached serrnuns during the late rebellion
and those who voted for and signed an ordi-
nance of secession in any State" are among
the persons tiisfrHnuf1istd III ~ this sn-ealled

this was an expression Of the will OF the peo-
ple Of Louisiana Can any consistent man.

A few weeks ago granddaughter OF Capt
Maury published an appeal to the women OF
Virginia to protect the honor of their native
State against the assaults Of the Legislature
The Legislature had threatened to repudiate
the State debt, and 1t beloved the daughters
of Virginia in this crisis, she said, to form
associations for the protection Of Virginia's
credit and the payment of her debt. The re-
suit of this appeal was the formation of a
number of s tate debt paying societies through
out the State, and the establishment OF a
womens fund for the liquidation OF the State
debt. The contributions to this fund, are,
we learn from the Petersburg hodec Appeal
very encouraging, and give practical aspect
to a scheme which at first seemed Wis
ionary The ladies have gone energetically
to work, and quite an amount has already
been raised The moral effect Of the move
ment has been great and 1t is thought that
the influence of the ladies will result in send
ing majority of honest debtpayers to the

Popular opinion is as strong factor In
Russia as In any liberal government Of
Europe The Czar would never have thought
Of going TO war with Turkey had not public
opinion supported him therein. The luke
warmness and Indifference Of the people Of
Russia to-day on the Panslavist question: and
the protection of the Turkish slavs is without
doubt the reason why Russia has yielded up
so much Of the San Stefano treaty to the de-
mands Of England. The government Of Rus
sia feels that the decision Of the people Of the
empire Is that the late war was fatal waste
of life In sentimental and undeserving
cause If the public opinion Of Russia be con-
sidered IL Is evident that the Eastern ques-
tion will not come up again for many years to
disturb the peace and harmony Of Europe.

Many OF the counties OF Arkansas are In
the same fix as the Missouri counties In the
matter of debts and taxes, and public
feeling seems to run almost as high
as in the former State. Nearly every
county in Arkansas has issued bonds or scrip.
These we're bought up by citizens Of other
States at mere nominal prices, and the hold
ers are now bringing suit for their face value
| in the Federal courts. Some thirty counties
have already been sued in this manner, and
heavy judgments obtained against them.
On this question O serious conflict has
arisen between the State and Federal courts.
Pulaski county, for instance, has heavy
Judgment against it. The United States
court issued an order to the county court to
| levy q tax to pay this debt The county
court answered that the constitution OF
the State only allows certain tax levy
to be made, and that the tax ordered by the
Federal court exceeded this limit. The JUS
tices were brought before the Federal court
for contempt, and ordered to collect the tax
as ordered at once or go to jail. Having no
remedy, they were forced to yield, and the
tax was accordingly collected, in direct VIOLA
ton Of the State constitution. Considerable

enee to this matter; and the coming cam
paign will be carried on, in q great measure,
on this question. The people of Arkansas are
determined to send to Washington Represen-
tatives and Senator to succeed Dorsey, who
will protest against the attempts of the Fed
eraI courts to thus extend their jurisdiction
and monopollze the powers of the State courts.
In the meanwhile, unless some remedy can
be found, it Is not at all unlikely that the peo-
pie of Arkansas will follow the example OF
those of Missouri In forcibe attempt to pre-
vent the collection of these onerous and, as
they believe, illegal taxes.

The San Francisco papers gives even more
favorable view Of the California election than
those OF the East. The vote that the Work
Gnamen's ticket received seems TO have been
far from the vote OF the Workingmen alone.
Even In those 'nobby' precincts, where labor
ing men are unknown, II received plurality
If votes. 60 the astonishment Of everybody.
ttThe fact was, says the San Francisco Chro't-
ieIe. rsthat there was great many votes polled
quietly for the Kearney ticket by well-to-do
merchants and taxpayers, who had lost all
epuiidpnce In the old party organizations, and

We will have 20 make some changes In our
slst of convention papers. In reply TO the
stsnss, the other day, we enumerated twenty
eix newspapers that demanded constitu-
tionaI convention. We supplemented this list
4 few days after, with the names OF two other
nauers that had come out in favor OF a new
constitution. The Marksville Bulletin calls
a. our attention the fact that the following
paners also support the convention move

TRUTH is as stated by the DEMOCRAT,
the entire press of the State are almost unit
on the side of q convention, The Times itself,
If we mistake not, was once on the same side
of the question, but backslided for reasons 1t
has never throught proper to explain" 1t will
thus be seen that thirty-seven OF the leading
papers Of the State are strong conventionists.

really shown any opposition to a eonvention

The London Times notices the rapid dis
intagration and disappearance ot the various
pan-Slayic societies of Russia, and considers
shis 4 proof that the Russians are bitterly
onposed to any war, and have given up the
grand idea. once entertained by them, OF
union OF all the Slavic peoples OF Europe In
one empire. 1t will be remembered that the
late Turco- Russian war and the present ber-
lin Congress are due, almost wholly, TO these
very Slavic societies. few years ago there
were thousands of them; almost every resi-
dent Of Russia joined one OF these assocla-
fions and contributed funds for the redemp-
tion of his persecuted brothers under Turkish
rule. IT was the pecuniary aid furnished by
these societies that enabled the Bosnians ano
Her5ecovlnians to rise in insurrect1on III 1870
This insurreetion precipitated the war Ihe
Turks massacred the insurgents and brought
out a protest from Russia. In the mean

The Democrats carried Ohio last year by
aaOOo majority. Their prospects would seem
ca be even brighter to-day; and SO 1t has been
srpnerally admitted even by the Republicans
an TO within few days. Last week, however,
At, event occurred which has given the Repub-
Iie--s renewed hopes and in consequence Of

Presidential election In 1876, Eph Holland,

there in fine style, and carried the ward by
an unusually large majority. 1t was gener-
ally supposed that Eph accomplished this oy
means OF perjury, forgery and stuihng ballot
boxes. He was accordingly put ON trial tor
ilIeQal voting, convicted and sentenced to the
,enltantiary. An appeal was made TO Hayes
fo parion him. This appeal Hayes granted
and Enh Holland was soon out on the streets

Dear Quaker band, did possess the power
OF minsnesy which has 50 long been thine,
My grateful muse would spend happy hour
In weaving garlands, which she might entwin'
Around thy brow or lay upon the shrine
OF gifted pocsy. Could strong desire
TO emulate Thy pen inspire mine,
My harp wOLl liin salute thy magic Tyre.
My honored friend, thy locks are growing gray,
And thou, in years at least a. growing old;
As we commemorate thy natal day
Thy life approaches to the sunset gold;
It's guee3s story will ut length be told,
And londly cherished in the hearts of men,
And thy familiar name must be enrolled
In realms beyond the reach Of mortal ken.
A life of beauty drawing to c'ose-
Though yet apparently but in its prime
More beauteous still while looking towards reposc
AS have seen in mellow autumn time,
The loveliest days Of our sweet northern cline
The peaceful days, superlatiyely fair
OF Natures music heard the sweetest chime,
Though borne in silence on the balmy air.
And while thou sittest in the genial sun
OF life's fair afternoon, trust and pray
Its fast approaching evening may be one
Whose last bright, long and londly lingering ray
May reach so nearly to the opening day
OF that celestial home beyond the strand
Thy soul may nearly shun the darkening way
Which all must pass to reach the heavenly Land,
And when at last the mystic vail is rent,
That loosely hangs and separates between
The then and now, and an!e bands are sent
TO guide thy feet beneath the sllvery sheen
OF heavens brightness, joyous and serene,
In Gods own kingdom may we hope that then
The poets magic wand will there be seer,
And thy celestial harp be tuned again.

night. Terror and anxiety reigned. The
young man besought his mother to take
refuge in the mountains. But she remon-
strated that they were in Gods protection
and that, if he wiIed it so, they would be
saved and exhOrted him to seek consola-
ton in prayer.
She lighted the lamp, and took her
prayer book and began to sing her favor
ite hymn, "A wall, o Lord, around us
build" At this. the son revolted, telling
his mother, that by her foolish singing
and by the light of her lamp she would
certainly show the way to their house and
uselessly expose them. But she persever-
ed and continued to sing, A wall o Lord,
around us build"
The son grew angry and scoldcd his
mother. How can the Lord build Il
wall around US? Stop that nonsense,
mother; the time for miracles is past. ~
THE Lord can, if He so will" she
quietly answered, and continued to sing
and to pray through the whole long night,

When the morning broke, the son took
courage and went to the door; but when
he tried to open it, he found that it would
not give way. A heavy snowdrift had
obstructed it and perfectly buried the
house. concealed it from the enemies, who,
during the night, had passed through the
village, carrying plumber and murder into
almost every house.

he came from the Jail in sight. Did any
man ask to die in his room? Did any friend
loose the rope and say. Put it around my
neck; die insteadp" No; he underwent
the sentence of the law. For many often
ses? No; for one offense. He had stolen
Il money parcel from stage coach. He
broke the law at one point, and died for
it. 1t was the penalty of changing human
law-it was the last instance of capital
punishment being inflicted for that ofIense.
l saw another sight-it matters not when

ruin, deserving naught but hell. For one
sin? No; for many sins, committed against
the unchanging law of God. But again l
