HON. R. B. srILLE.

We arc panied to announce the sudden de-
mise Of Hon. Robert 3. Stille, Of the parish OF
Sabine, and Senatorial Delegate in the Consti-
tutional Convention. which sad event occurred
at the residence of John Chaffe, Esq, in this
city, at 40 p. m. yesterday.
Col Stille was widely and popularity known
throughout Louisiana as a gentleman OF Gull
ture, wealth and sterling character. He was
born in the State of New Jersey in 1904, and
immigrated to Louisiana when young man
in 1880, we believe. He engaged in this city
In mercantile pursuits, which has been, save
when in public life, his constant occupation
since. He was one of the originators Of the
present system of auditing accounts In Louis
lana, and was chief clerk for the first Auditor
the State elected. President Taylor APP
pointed him surveyor OF the port in 1849, and
lie held that position for some time. In 1866,
Immediately succeeding the war, he was
elected to the Legislature from the parish Of
Sabine. Last March he was unanimously
elected delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention from the Nineteenth Senatorial Dis
trict.
His death deprives the Convention Of the
services of one OF It's most useful and intelli-
gent members, while the Democratic party
and the people Of the State lose gentleman
whose high character and worth added lustre
to the one and reflected honor upon the other.

The article licensing lotteries was then
adopted after u number of explanations. to-
gether with the remainder OF the ordinance
reported by the Committee ON General Pro-
visions, except the game law article, which

the article providing for the removal Of the
capital to Baton Rouge. An ordinance re-
ported by the Committee on Health and Quar-
antine, providing that the Legislature shall
provide for the interest OF State Medicine
and shall establish State Board 81 Health

the Committee on Internal improvements

A RAD CRIMINAL RECORD.

The Pcayuae of yesterday, in commenting
on the action Of the members OF the bar Of
Marshall, Texas. who denounced the COM
ments OF the press on the postpone
ment Of the Currie trial, concludes
its article with the remark that "if Texas
will continue to permit herself to be
telegraphed all over the Union, almost
weekly, as she now is, as State where deeds
Of violence are Of regular occurrence and are
rarely punished, her friends outside Of her
limits can but express their profound regret
that such should be the policy
The authorities of Texas maintain that the
postponement Of Currie's trial is not only in
strict conformity with the State law, but that
the statutes which cover the case are man
datory. and a conviction at an immediate
trial iii violation OF their instructions would
have been reversed by the Court of Appeals.
We think that the people OF our sister State
are to be commended FOR their patience III
waiting. through the laws delays, for the end
OF justice to be gained, and that the press is
wrong in denouncing them for not forcing

Professor Henry Draper. Of New York, had
an enthusiastic reception in London the other
day, when he submitted to the Royal Astro-
monical Society the results of his investiga-
ton as to the existence of oxygen in the sun.
He exhibited several magnificent photo
graphs, supporting his views, which were
greatly admired. The London Times devoted
a column and q half to complimenting him,
concluding as follows
We think that most spectroscopiss will ad-
nit that Prof. Draper Goes not pass beyond tho
limits Of scientific caution In claiming that the
coincidence. shown In his photographs. between
The bright lines Of oxygen and bright parts OF
the solar spectrum. establishes the probability
OF the existence OF oxygen in the sun. The
burden of proof or rather OF disproof, should
now fall on those who consider that the coinel-
denee may. utter all. be merely accidental no US
1t seems that If such evidence as Prof. Draper
has obtained is rejected. hardly any apeetro-
seopic evidence can suffice to prove the exis-
tence Of an element In the sun. We certainly
have not stronger evidences in the case Of sodi-
un or magnesium. elements which every phys
tctst regards as present In the sun, than PROF..
Draper has obtained In the case Of oxygen.

TIE SUNDAY LAW.

The Convention rejected, yesterday, that
section OF the report on general provisions
which interdeted thb sale OF alcoholic and
malt liquors on Sunday, and directed the
General Assembly tb provide special penal
ties for the violation of the article. In place
OF 1t the following substitute was adopted:
"The regulation Of the sale Of alcoholic or
spirltuous liquors Id declared a police egula-
ton, and the General Assembly may enact
laws for the regulation Of their sale and use
As the power here specially conferred Is
now, as has always been, recognized as an
inherent attributed OF sovereignty, we see no
necessity for such nm authorization In the con-
stitutlon. e1theless, we accept 1t for
what 1t was intended to bean avoidance OF
the unwise and paoscriptive principle which
ii was proposed tb Incorporate In the funda-
mental law.

late itself upon this issue. IT alone, Of

this measure, and insisted that how
the Sabbath day. should be observed

| tom and religious conviction, with which

could not possibly regulate.
| The Convention has simply avoided the
question and left it where 1t always has

be satisfied with this disposition of the mat.

In bringing about.
