tuition, or continue to be recognized and treat
ed as conquered aliens; it was, swallow this
bitter pill or remain victim to the disease
with which you are suffering. The pill was
the disease-the bayonet was not removed.
By q powerful effort the people, aided by
public opinion in other States, did free them
selves Of the disease, but the pill still re-
mains, and the chosen representatives OF the
people refused to remove it's bitterest ingre-
dents.
We will not be deferred by fear OF political
defeat, nor influenced by policy, from stating
precisely what articles in the constitution we
do object to, although our legislators seemed
50, 1923, 1879 and 1873 totally abolished. Article
10 Is an infringement upon the private per-
sonal rights of individuals, which the people
demand shall be eliminated from our laws,
together with all acts based thereon. There
Is no reason why the people should be de-
barred from electing the same person Gov
ernor for a second term il they choose; article
50 prohibits it. There is no need OF article
129, and it should be wiped out, and 1876
amended so as not to forbid the separate or
ganization of public schools, and nothing
short OF that will satisfy the people. Article
1873 is absurd and wrong. We have the same
objection to article 142 that we have to 1885,
and had rather have the University abolished
than to have it continue to exist under such
law.
There are Objectionable features in several
other articles of the constitution, but the
most Objectionable is contained in article 49,
from the middle OF the second paragraph to
the end of the article, which disfranchised all
"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
to the United States; those who acted as lead
ers of guerilla bands during the late rebellion;
those who in the advocacy of treason wrote or
published newspaper articles or preached SER
mons during the late rebellion; and those
who voted for and signed an ordinance OF Sc
cesson in any State" We want this and all OF
the next paragraph of this ninety ninth article
eliminated from our constitution. In fact, we
want new constitution, that will not make
Us angry and cause us to blush every time we
read it: the people want it; they have a
right to have it. and they are going to enforce
that right.
Some other of our objections to the proposed
amendments will be stated hereafter.

SUPERIOR CRIMINAL COURT.

Yesterday morning Messrs. Mott and Potts
presented themselves at the Superior Criminal
Court and filed their commissions as jury
commissioners, which were entered on record.
The court then ordered the new commits
sioners to draw 500 names of qualified voters
of the parish on the thirteenth of April, re-
turnable on the fourth Of May. From those
drawn the court will select the grand jury for
May, June and July, and the petit jury for
May.
The new board will fill the jury wheel at
once with the necessary number of names to
be drawn from.
Alex. Dalsheimer, ESQ., on behalf of Geo.
Reinhardt, filed before Judge Whitaker yester-
day morning a writ of habeas corpus.
tt appears Reinhardt was the prosecuting
witness before Magistrate Smith against one
A. F. Tins, charged with assault with dan
gerous weapon. On the trial before Judge
ting witness under bonds to keep the peace.
Mr.. DaIsheimer, representing the latter re-
sisted this, and applied at once to Judge
Whitaker for a writ. At noon the case came
up. Mr.. Dalshemer argued with much
strength that the prosecuting witness, Rein
hardt, could not be put under bonds, as no
affidavit had been made against him and he
had not been legally prosecuted. He urged
that his incarceration was contrary to the
constitution and article 1910 of the Revised
Statutes.
After hearing the argument Judge Whita-
ker made the writ absolute, and ordered the
release of the prisoner.
Reinhardt was afterwards arrested on an
affidavit and released on giving bonds.

In all the amendments to the constitution
that have been proposed since the adoption of
the original, including those proposed at the
last session Of our General Assembly and to
be voted on at the general election next No
vember, none have affected or proposed to
affect the most Objectionable features of the
organic law by which the people of this State
are trammeled. Hence our principal objection
to the ratification of these proposed amend
ments by the voters of this State AS we have
before stated, or intimated at least, it is not
SO much because of our objection to these
amendments themselves that we oppose
them as that they do not relieve US of the OBJ
iectionable features of the original which
they propose to amend, some of which are
humiiiating and degrading to a free people,
who demand that they be abolished.
While we find very serious objection to
many Of these amendments, we discover merit
in others, which we would like to see incor-
porated into our constitution; but we are OPP
posed to ENGRAVING them into articles which
make US blush every time we read them, and
shall vote for their rejection for this reason
and for the reason that we believe that the
people ought to have had the privilege
granted by this Legislature OF framing a con-
stitution for their government, to be adopted
by free people, acting without the restraint
of bayonets and shoulder straps.
We all know that the constitution we now
have was forced upon an unwilling people,
and that the election at which it is claimed
that they adopted it was a farce, a cheat and
fraud; that it was not free expression of
their will, but choice Of the less of two
evils; it was, adopt this Objectionable consti-
