Tho insurance companies, the firemen. the
public generally, are to be congratulated on
the remarkably good showing this city makes
In the matter Of contlagrations for the past
year.
The report of Chief O'Connor shows that
there were only 112 fires in New Orleans dur
Ing 1876, with total loss of S196,S45, or about
one-fifth Of per cent Of the assessed vallla-
tion OF the city. The total annual fire losses
OF tho Union are from 10000, 900 to $50. 900 600
or over twice as high, proportionately, as the
loss here. II we take into consideration the
fact that city property is much more liable to
loss by fire than country property, thata large
majority OF this loss falls consequently on the
large cities, we will undoubtedly see that
New Orleans is the safest city in the Union, us
Tar as contagrations are concerned and that
house here runs only one-tcnth the risk
OF being burnt as in ST. Louis or Chicago.
This showing is all the more encouraging
from the fact that New Orleans is essentially
O wooden city, and subject to dangerously
high winds and breezes. Our escape from
losses by fire, such as visit all our sister
cities, is due solely to the manner in which
eonflagrations are managed by our energetic |
fire department. and 10 the fact that our
bouaes are surrounded with more garden and
yard than the cramped dwellings, Of other |
cities enjoy. |

ASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLATURE

To-day, for tho first time in many years. a
Legislature, recognized as legal by the whole
people, assemblies in Louisiana. At noon the
representatives of a free people will meet in
the Capitol, hear tho message Of d legal Gov
ornor, and proceed, under the constitution and
laws, such as they are to legislate for the
good of the State
| we congratulate the people, their repre-
sentatives and State officers. upon this a1spi-
| clous occasion, trusting and believing that
all that has been anticipated Of the Legitimate
| and reform government will be Accomplished.
The present Legislature, we have always
held, could not be fairly judged by the egsa-
ton OF last session Then we were actually in
the midst OF revolution; the status Of the gov
ernnent was disputed almost at the point of
the bayonet; all minds were disturbed bv the
threatening situation and all energies bent to
preserve civil government from actual sub
version. When we remember the situation
last winter and spring we are astonished that
any beneficial legislation whatever was Of
fected.
Now, however, the situation Is very different;
and, from the first days Of its organization. tho
people will expect the Legislature to begin
that vast and almost incalculable work of re-
form which the State needs and demands for
It's future growth and prosperity. No personal
considerations should stay the iconoclastie
hand Of reform. Wherever there Is m evil,
wherever There Is an excessive expense or a
needless expense let 1t be swept away. At the |
Same time it must be borne in mind that par |
simony Is not economy, and'that where there
r.ntt D,,nI,t
or discretion the public good will suffer most
grievously.
Among the questions which will come I'D 1
early in tho session is that of u constitutional
We Judge that while there is a |
strong element in the State favorable TO an
early convention, tho weightier Judgment of
men is that such o step would, at this time, be
premature. The necessity for u convention.
however, will depend largely upon the scope of
jhe reform measures tho Legislature under
axes. We believe that prompt and wise action
III the part Of the Legislature in the way of
with tho presentation of some
necessary amendments TO the present consti-
ution, bad as it is, will afford sufficient pres-
mt relief But should there develop such I
liversities of opinion as to endanger q broad {
'olicy of retrenchment and reform, we are l
cry certain that the demand of the people
or convention will be irresistible.
The present body contains number of OK :.
able and conscientious gentlemen. | ;,
onversant with the needs Of the State and !,
argely themselves interested in the reduc. | q
ion OF taxation. We hope, therefore, for q ! +
reat deal from it; We believe, indeed, 1t will y
ford all relief the people require.
