From the N. Q. Ficayuns, Feb. 9thl
An attentive examination of the con-
stitutinnal amendments confirms onr
first opinion, that they are all that the
public can reasonably expect at this
time. The committee have done their
work we'll; SO we'll, indeed, that even Il
chronic caviler could find little in it to
criticize. The fact that the committee
were unanimous in signing the report
indicates that there is u fair prospect
for the success of the amendments in
the Legislature and it is to be pre-
sumed that they will be equally success
full when submitted to the ordeal of a
popular vote. We trust that now the
Legislature will take speedy action on
this important matter. and thus satisfy
the Just and reasonable expectations OF
the public. Everybody admits that
many changes in our organic law are
necessary; and u very Intelligent and
very determined public opinion demands
that, in one way or another, those
changes shall be made. The method OF
amendment. rather than the method of
constitutional convention, appears tn
meet with the greater favor, both in
the Legislature and before the public
mind and as the amendments proposed
by the committee effect the desired OBJ
iects, they should be adopted at once.

Steamboat disasters in our trade, du-
ring the last few years have been OF
frequent occurrence. Capt. Pickett's
boat, the Fleta, sunk near Plaquemlne
in 1876. Next Capt. Broad's boat, the
Big Sandy, went down in the Missis-
sippi, near Baton Rouge. A few months
ago the Lessie Taylor exploded her
donkey boiler at the levee in New Dr.
leans. Thoroughly renovated, she re-
entered our trade, made one trip, and
now lies wreck in the bottom "f the
Atci.afalaya. One thing noticeable,
though, in all these disasters, is that
only about half dozen lives were lost,
:though we believe all three boats went
down when 1t was pitch dark. We hope.
our steamboat captains better luck fol
the future.
