louisiana has hXed upon tne sss"
lsy Of December - the tims s'r ho'dins
her STATE election, which 70 almost
month later than tie time designated
in most Of the other States. A Consti'u-
.ionsl Convention has Just been held IN
tho State which has propo'ed some rad'-
cal smendmsnts to the constitution ana
which arc to be voted upon At the ap'
preaching election. Prominent amongst
those proposed changes Is the provision
for IN. election Of Presidential electors
BY the Legislature instead OF BY the
people At large. The ordinances r"lA-
tive To the State debt will BE- submitted
sep.rstsly, thus giving . fair chanos
t,r 4 contest between the Republicans
and Democrats on that question the
hrst bsing generally in favor Of an hon
a.. payment Of the public d"bt and the
latter generally opposed to 1t. 1t IL
thought possible by many we'll informed
ssntlemsn that II the Republicans enter
actively into the contss. they may be
able to carry the State upon the basis
Of an honest payment Of the debt aud
~i,h it to elect Republican L'glsia-
urs. which will have the choosing OF
ipnt electors for President. To accom-
plish this object 1. is thought best to
enter into An active campaign and thai
Rapublicaus Of national reputs should
b, sent TO canvass the State. 1t has
bssu evident for some time that the
democrats of Louisiana are not very
closely united. Tue overthrow Of the
Republican state Government by Nj
,bolIs aud his followers has not result-
cd in such reign Of prosperity Is was
orudictsd. and the fnsucss Of the STATE
have fallen into very great disorder
The taxes which wsrs complained Of
u uuder Republican rule have not been
reduced In the degree anticipated and
the state credit has suffered in many
Ways. Should an exciting canvass en-
aus in Louisiana upon the debt quss-
tion which would result In favor OF
honesty and the election Of R-publi-
can Legislature which would elect eight
Rspu ublicsn electors who would cast
their votes for the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency, It is something
worth contsnding for, and if successful
| il would do much towards breaking the
back bone Of the solid South. There II
no doubt that thsrs is . Republican
majority Of from twelve to eighteen
thousand in Louisiana II il could Only =
bs got to the polls unmolested by
South srn shot guns. II Messrs. Blaine
sherman, Bgarts and other noted Re
publican speakers wers to 60 to Louis
lana, they would 6nd no difficulty what
ever in stirring up Republican enthusi
asm but the great point is to gst fai
and quiet election in which shot gum
: do not play q conspicuous part. lfth'
, canvass can bs made on Southern sol
free from all partisan bitterness, o
3 tsectional strife, such canvass sh"ul'
0 be undertaken at the very first oppor
Z tunity, aud should the Republicans
succeed in Carrying ths State in Decetn
bsr, it will be the frst gun for R-pub
, Iican Presidency, but If on the oth-
: hand they do no. succeed, 1t will bu
leave q solid d socratic South, to b
overcome by q solid Republican north

ANOTHER ACT in the Hospital expose
drama has passed on the canvass
unexpectedly to DO sure, but the most
exciting Of all, and though it releases
one of thu guilty parties concsrned
from all pecu uiary obligations, 1t has
only consolidated public opinion against
him, and as strongly consolidated 1t in
tavor Of what is looked upon as a per,
scented victim. The suit for perjury
against Mrs. Z,iglsr never had much

A Boom for "a Colorado Town.


Eight years ago yesterday, on the pres
ent site of the Colorado Springs Hotel,
the first stake for this city was driven.
For the first two or three years the ami
versaiy was celebrated by appropriate
public exercises, but for years past this
has been discontinued. We want to sug-
gest now grand celebration July 31st,
1881, the tenth anniversary. Those who
have had the shaping of the affairs Of
this prosperous city can not help feel
proud of their work. Eight years ago
this was pasture for the antelope; now
we have beautiful city,
with elegant residences, a population of
five thousand, shade trees on our streets
which are as fourishing and abundant
as in cities score of years older, the best
water-works in the State, stock sub
scribed for gas-works, two daily papers,
publishing as full telegraphic news as any
in the State, fine schools, churches, a
college, and every other mark of solid
and substantial growth. More than all
this, the object of the founders to keep
this city free from the evils of the ordi-
nary Western towns, such as intemper-
ance, gambling, and dance-houses, have
been steadily kept in view, Without
boasting, we may claim that our city is
the cleanest and most healthful of any in
the State both from a sanitary and moral
point of view,

From Gailemant Des Reaux.


Marshal Effiat met NJ. Mulet, a doctor
of the Sorbonne and member of Richie
lieu's family. Bon jour, M De Mulet,"
said the Marshal. "Bon jour, NJ. Fiat"
said the priest. "My name is not Fiat"
said the Marshal. "Nor mine De Mulet,"
said the Doctor: "Et sachez, que qui
conque ajoutera une syllable mon nom,
j'en retrancherai une du sien." The late
Vincent Seully put the jest in even bet
ter form. As he was leaving the House
of Commons the Wing whip, Lord Monck,
who wanted members for division, pat
ted him on the shoulder and said, Don't
go away, old scull." "Pll thank you,
my Lord" returned Scully, in his best
Irish manner and accent, "not to cut of
the last letter of my name, or if you will,
stick it to the end of your own"

The stage in France has exceptional
encouragement. The leading metropoli-
tan houses are subsidized by the State
with the general assent or approval of
the nation. Each little town has its lit
tie theater; at all events it is visited by
some stroIling company, and all the
world focks to the performances. Most
Frenchmen have something of the max
ing of an actor in them; and each French
man and Frenchwoman is fairly capa-
BILE critic.
A successful play makes its authors
reputation at once, TO say nothing of
filling his pockets; and as the people in
sist upon novelties in some shape, there
must be constant supply Of some kind
of pieces. But the French are not Il

was literally nothing new to be bought
in the way of a novel during the days
of the German invasion and the Com

ceeded.
Yet we remember on the occasion of a
visit to Paris, arriving the day after the
German evacuation, when we asked il

jovially interested than the officers il

The trait seems to us to be strikingly
characteristic. The nation, amid its ca
