turHed their attention to business

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
New Orleans City Item. I

New Orleans City Item.
There appears to DO but little oppo.
sition to the new constitution In any
portion of.the State. Indeed through
out the country parishes it is even
more generally acceptable than in the
city, for the interests of the rural dis
tricts were more faithfully attended to
than were chose Of our great metropol-
itan municipality. The limit placed
on taxation; the limitations intended
to restrain the Legislature from un-
warrantable grants and excessive cx-
penditures; the decrease in offices and
the still more marked decrease in off,
cial salaries; the discreet revision of
the Judiciary, So far as our country
parishes arc concerned-all these fca-
lures of the new instrument are in such
marked contrast with tho correspond
ing features of the constitution Of 1868,
that few will be found unwilling to
give to the proposed instrument tho
ratification Of their consent.
But though the interests Of the city
were in some respects seriously over
looked; though the Capital was un-
wisely removed; though our municipal
debt-of far greater Importance to the
majority, in amount, of our taxpayers
than the State debt-was slurringly
NASA AAouSA WIZ Ju\sASAOA AASA-
chinery of our proposed city court is u
piece OF bungling and unsatisfactory
workmanship, without appellate or
remedial provisions, still the general
disposition is to ratify the new consti-
tuition and give it an honest trial.
Even the separate debt ordinance seems
far more likely to be approved than
condemned. True, it IS by no means
all that has been demanded on either
side, and if ratified, it will be on n
basis of compromise, representing as it
does mean betwiXt two extremes.
Still the advance made is in tho right
direction, and when quiet shall again
be restored to the State the dawn Of a
now prosperity will commence.
Captious critics may indeed object to
this feature or that OF the now tcsta-
ment, and to the manner, where tho
matter is not at fault, but us Il whole
it meets q hearty approval, and will
ON election day be triutnphanhy rati-
fed

A DOUBLE GAME.

There's been Il great commotion
Which is somewhat on tho wanc,
Produced by Shermnn's notion
That tho gallant State Of Maine
Could be weaned from its devotion
To the clover Mr.. Blaine.
Bold John remembers plainly,
Though forty years are spent,
How tho Pine Tree State, insaneiy
With cheers and cider went
On n "bent," Expressed profnnely,
For the lato lanented Kent.
With his great resumption firman
And his large reserves in store,
And to win tho people DOR,
He thinks that for John Sherman
He can sweep old Maine once moro.
But Blanc he smilcs serenoly
While the little gamo he notea,
And, doing nothing meanly,
He o'er his rival floats
To where Ohio, aueenly,
Reviews her larger votes.
When Sherman ends his mission
And strikes his final blow,
When the Treasury's condition
lilo to the crowd doth show,
Then Blaine will 20 a-tishin'
To capture Ohio!
Go, John, and mend your fences!
Put up the bars again.
Lest, in your sober sonSeS,
You learn, with sudden pain,
How you lost your last uctenses
To Mr.. Blaine of Maine.

to succeed there, and these essentials
will certainly succeed at home. Hero
all our young men want "soft Places

gift of telling where minerals and
water could be found. lie had Il green
stone that was regarded by tho super

come Il farmer, but was too shifttcss,

JEFF DAVIS FORTHCOMING HISTORY.

| IIetter to tho Atlanta (Ga.) constitutional
It Is impossible to over-estimate tho
caution and carefulncss with which
Mr.. Davis has worked upon his history
of the rebellion. He feels that his will
be the authoritative defense OF the
cause Of his people, and he fully appre-
ciatcs tho gravity of his task. 1t is
two years since saw him, aud he was
reported then to be finishing up his
work. l discovered that he had hardly
begun it, having spcnt years in simply
arranging the material for it. MIR.
Davis is II most systematic worker,
and is possessed OF great endurance.
He is rapid writer, aud is ripe
scholar. 1t is tho argument and tho
facts OH which he has pondered so
long. No idea can be formed Of tho
scope Of the coming book. 1t Is cer.
tain, however, that an unexpected
space will be given to the discussion of
the motives and necessities that led to
the war. 1t will not be vehicle Of
the prejudices OF tho writer, .but 1t will
be very decided upon certain of Mr..
Davis critics and enemies. l asked
him ii he was going to be severe upon
these persons in his book. "Well,"
he replied, smiling, ''thcy say q man
gets ill-naturcd as he grows old.
don't know what l may writc." In
CONVERSATION no SCcmeu 10 DO DltVCfCc
toward Mr.. stephens than any ono
else. He discussed J Joc Johnston freely.
and expressed himself vigorously as to
Gov. Brown, but said little of Gen.
Toombs, and seemed to care less. lIc
was warm toward Senator Hill and in
quircd aGectionately after him. Tho
book will bo published by tho Apple
| tons, and there is no doubt that its sale
will be enormous, probably exceeding
any history ever published in America.
Mr.. Davis has attended to mono of tho
business details of tho publication, and
knows little about them. These have
all been managed by Maj. Walthall of
Mobile, n most excellent man for tho
purpose. AS. Mr.. Davis could COM
mand his own terms, and rs Maj.
Walthall Is devoted to his interests, II
is pretty certain that he will make q
large fortune out of his book. / un-
lerstand that the copy is now in the
hands Of the Appletons, and the book
may be looked for speedily. 1t will be
a volume that, in point of composition
and the excellence of its English, will
stand by the side of Gibbon and Ma
caulay. doubt If the South has over
produced u moro thorough scholar than
Mr.. Davis. His book will represent
the steady, devoted work of his best
and ripcst years, md it will bc q pride
to tho South no more as Il vindication
than as n classic.
