The postponement Of the resolution to adj
iourn on the eighteenth instant by the House,
on Tuesday, does not indicate, as the Times
charges, that the Legislature will be false to
It's pledges Of an early adjournment. The
feeling In favor of a short session has been In
no manner abated by the passage OF the con-
vention bill. 1t Is as strong and earnest as
ever, and will make itself felt at the proper
time. The resolution was postponed because
certain necessary business could not be ac-
complished by the time set for final adj
journment, and 1t was thought better to let
the matter lie over. to be taken up whenever
the state Of essential legislation would admit
OF time being fixed for bringing the session
to close. That was all there was in the
matter The members Of the Legislature in
tend to have a short session, even II they
further displease the Times by such course.
1t Is certain that an adjournment will be
effected by thu first of February, and proba-
bly, by the twenty-fifth instant.

THE CHILD rs BORN.

Yesterday the House bill providing for a
constitutional convention was concurred in
by the Senate on strict party vote. Four
Senators, Messrs. Breaux, Benners and Mer-
KEEL, OF Orleans and Mr.. Stubs, Of Ouachita,
said, In explanation of their votes, that In
supporting the measure, they yielded their
individual opinions to what they regarded as
an unwlse public opinion. Mr.. Zacharie also
said In debate that he had favored the amend
ments and opposed q convention at the last
session Of the Legislature, but that he had
abandoned his former opinions In Difference
to an almost universal popular desire for a
convention.
SO 1t was that the bill was passed, and the
convention became an accomplished fact, 50
far as the General Assembly can affect It, The
bill will now 60 to the Governor, and we have
no doubt that he will at once attach his sigma
ture to It, and it will become law This is,
indeed, happy contamination for Louisiana
The Democratic party has promptly fulfilled
Its repeated pledges to the people, and now,
that the days Of the bayonet edict OF 1868 are
numbered, that party has, In the discharge OF
Its obligations, established for itself new
and irresistible claim upon the popular heart
For ten long years have our people abided,
with enforced patience, the day when 1t would
be in their power to destroy the loathsome
instrument Of plumber and Misrepresentation
which has stood them in the place OF funda-
mental law. From beginning to end 1t has
been Justification Of all their accepted theo-
rles OF political organization and government.
It has established above them for a govern
ment q vast and complicated engine OF spolia-
ton and oppression, conceived with a devilish
Ingenuity and carried out with an elaboration
OF detail In the interest Of corrupt officials,
and having no sort OF consideration for the
governed. Legislation, no matter how honest
in It's purposes, has been futile to stop or
ameliorate the operations Of this establish
ment, which moved with the cruel precision
Of machinery.
But the time Of deliverence has come at
last, and after long and desperate fight the
people are at length victorious over the cor
ruptions, the license, the rings and the mo-
noplies that this instrument had entailed
upon them, and which had contended 80 saw
agely for its perpetuation. The rotten and
Infamous old constitution Of 1868, under
which Louisiana has endured all the mis-
cries and disgrace that are comprehended In
her history, with all the repulsve associa-
tions connected with it in the minds OF our
people, is about to pass away for ever. There
is not a manly heart In all the State that will
not thrill with Joy at the glad tidings, while
those who have brought US this dispensation
will be held In endearing and grateful men,
ory. The Democratic Legislature OF 1879 has
built for itself lasting monument In the
hearts Of the people.

The opponents Of the proposed sugar tariff
are actively at work at Washington, and
have already captured one member of the
Ways and Means Committee. This still
left them in the minority, however, and the
bill will be reported to the House. In the
body proper determined opposition may be
reckoned on The New York refiners will
form a strong lobby to prevent the passage of
the bill, and it will hardly go through without
great struggle. Louisiana interests de-
mand that the new tariff shall be adopted,
and no effort should be spared to secure this
object

It is believed In Berlin that the German
Chancellor is losing his brilliant mind. This
is weak invention of his enemies, no doubt
but he does appear to have lost some Of his
political wisdom. The repressive measures
he has recently advocated display more se-

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The English Papers Of This Morning.

The Commercial speaks of schoo-house
in New Orleans lately inspected, where
over four hundred pupils have bee lately
in attendance, manv of whom together
with teachers, fell sick with diphtheria
and other diseases. The officer found the
attic a roosting place for countless bats,
and although seventy barrels of guano
were removed from the place three months
ago. there was found a deposit of three
inches still. The shingles were old and
rotten, and when it rained the washings
from this filth were carried down into
the school-room. The vaults, moreover,
had not been cleaned for two years
and within thirty feet of the build
ing was a pig-sty, the stencil of
which was fearful. In view of
such gross carelessress, the Commercial
thinks it not strange that yellow fever
should prevail in New Orleans. 1t saws
that General Butler put thousand men at
work when that city was occupied by the
Federal troops, and New Orleans was
straightway made as wholesome as New
York or Philadelphia.-TLe citizens of
Muncie, Ind, are paving for coal gas,
sixteencandle power, 81 80 per thousand
cubic feet. The same gas is
furnished the town lamps and buildings
for 81 60 per thousand cubic feet. If a
company can erect coal gas worksin place
the size of Muncie (about 500O) and make
them pay on an investment of $50, 900 to
1000 by selling gas to private consumers
at 81 80per thousand, it looks strange that
large corporation such as the Cincinnati
Company, with more consumers on one
square than Muncie can ever yield witt four
to five miles of MAN, should not be able to
furnish gas alta much less figure. The citi-
zens of ofCincinnati should never pay the COM

ginia has judiciously made an early
movement toward suitable commemor-
alton of the day that put the thirteen
struggling and nearly exhausted colonies
on their feet as an independent nation.
A great deal can be done in two years
toward that end. The spontaneous
patriotism of the Fourth of July can be
concentrated and bottled up, only to be
uncorked on the morning of October
10Th, 1881.
1t is rather to be regretted that only
the Governors of the thirteen original
States have been invited to assemble for
the purpose of preliminary organiza-
ton. This restriction did not originate
with Gov. Holiday, but with Gov. Hoyt
of Pennsylvania in his proposition for a
preliminary meeting at Independence
Hall, Philadelphia. The Governors of
all the States should have been invited
to take part in every step of the move
ment. The thirteen original States of
the Union comprise now only small
fragment, territorially speaking, of those
thirteen sturdy Colonies that worked out
our National independence, and are in a
small minority of States constructed out
of that territory.
The children have in many instances
outgrown the present stock, but they
claim to be bone of one bone and of the
same flesh. The States of the North
west and Kentucky feel themselves to be
the inheritors of the revolutionary glory
of their mother, Virginia. Tennessee is
only part of the old Colony of North
Carolina; Maine, of Massachusetts; Ver-
mont, of New Hampshire and New York;
Alabama Of Georgia, and why shouldn't
they all be invited to the preliminary
steps taken to celebrate this great ma
tional event? Even farther than this, it
would have been more meet
that the Governors of all
the States and Territories should
have been invited to assemble in old
Liberty Hall, and that from the very
first the movement should have been
purely and entirely National in its char
acter. The occasion to be celebrated is
now as much the heritage of California
and Texas and Louisiana and Florida as
it is of Massachusetts or New Jersey or
Georgia. This CORVALLIS celebration
will necessarily end the most important
series of Centennials in Americas mill
tary history, and it should be general,
FRATERNAL and sTUPENDoUs.
We fear that in this matter, as in that
fatal order at Balaklava, somebody has
blundered."

LET'S HAVE SOME REFORM.
How Courthouse Laborers Work.

TIE Superintendent of the Courthouse,
MIR. Robert Bailey, has, by authority of the
County Commissioners the power to ap-
point laborers to do the cleaning of the
various rooms, corridors, ETC., in the build
inc. These men, and there are over a score
of them, get salary of $l2 per week for al
most doing nothing The force is composed
of all nationalities and color.
A reporter of this paper took occasion to.
dav to investigate the manner of how they
do their work and how much of it they do
toward earning their salaries.
He took the Coroner's office, which is
now being painted and carpeted. The work
was commenced last Thursday morning,
when three men were detailed to tear up
about fifty yards of carpet. All the labor
necessary to do this was to rip up about
four rows of tacks, each row being, say,
sixty feet long.
A one-armed man could do this work
within two hours, vet it took all day Thurs
dav for three stout men to do it.
Yesterday there were six men at work in
washing the ceiling. This ceiling measures
go feet by 90 The washing was commenced
in the morning and was concluded in the
evening. This work could easily have been
finished by two thirds of the force within
six hours.
The reasons why the washing of the cell
ing took so long may be summarized as fol-
lows: Work would not be begun until 8
o'clock, when scaffold trestle or two
would be brought in. This would take,
perhaps, half an hour. Then one of the
laborers would say, "Boys, it's lunch
time" Work was suspended at once; the
men would go out, enjoy their lunch come
back after, sav three-quarters of an hour,
and after chatting awhile would resume
work until about fifteen minutes before
noon.
Then came the dinner hour and it was
long one. Getting down to work again, the
job was finally concluded by 8 o'clock.
Another rush was then made for the lunch
table and the end of the working hours an
nounced.
The same proceedings were gone through
with this morning, only in more tardy
way. The men were to begin work at
whitening the ceiling, and at O clock Or
dered the doors of the Coroner's Office
thrown open. This W done, but up to
10 o'clock not one of the iaborers was at
work. They had to take lunch first, and
then walk around the block to let the sun
shine on their lazy backs
