TO L0UlglANIANS!

The publishers of the New Orleans
Times wish especially at this time that
every citizen Of this State should be a
subscriber or reader of the Times. Cues
tions Of the gravest Importance to Lou
isiana are pending waiting solution. A
convention Of her delegates are now in
session drafting an organic law for adop-
ton to replace the present constitution,
and which it il hoped will radically re-
form those fearful abuses, wastefnl OK
travagancics and gross iniustices which
have been nurtnred by it and have
grown up under it. The subject of req
trictiye quarantine as to its efficacy in
preventing the introduction of the
scourge Of yellow fever and it's acknowl-
edged blighting effects upon the business
and prosperity of the city of New, Or
leans ans the State, is now engrossing
to . largo extent public attention. Other
vital questions, such as labor, immigra-
ton, railroad communications with our
neighboring State Of Texas, removal of
the State capital, ETC., demand constant
consideration and discussion.
The publishers Of the Times refer with
pride to the position taken by the Times
on all of these questions. Their imspir-
ing motive has been the good of the
State and her people, for npOn her pros
perity, development and growth depend
their compensation and reward. From
no other source can they expect to sub
serve these ends. a4n59i4 a.} nadT
The thorough independence of the
Times, its strength, courage and consis-
tency in the discussion Of all questions,
it's indefatigable and persistent labors to
restore the wonted prosperity of the
South, have made it recognized through
out the country as the leading Southern
journal and made it quoted everywhere
as the representative Of the best South
em thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that q copy may
be placed in the hands of every citizen
of this State, that he may Judge by pc
rusal of its merits, of its consistency, of
its motive. .ii4 1aa vs -

DRowNED.-A white boy by the
name Of Kirby Tucker was drowned
yesterday evening late, while attemp-
ting to get from a boat on the ferry
boat, while the latter was in motion.
He was in company with another
boy catching drift wood at the time,
and the current threw the skiff and
drift-wood against the bow Of the
Stirling White. His companion
caught hold Of the guard Of ferry boat
and climbed up on the deck, and he,
attempting the same feat, fell under
the drift wood and never rose. No
blame whatever attaches to the officers
Of the ferry boat.-Shrerep't Standard.

Col. d. A. Wilson is the passenger
agent Of the Piedmont route, north
and east. We know him in this vici-
nifty as the modest and unpretending
hero of many fights in Virginia, in the
smoke of which mingled his blue
birds and the greys Of Redstick, and
we give him this unsolicited notice to
show him that the latter have not for
gotten their "valley friend" When
in New Orleans, do net fail to call at
his office, at the corner of st. Charles
Hotel, and exchange salutations with
the man whom Wade Hampton said,
lacked but one attribute of a noble
man, and that was, he was not born
in South Carolina.

The RICHMOND INCORPORATION
& UAX&S Ssst-. 4

Richmond, Va, May a14.-In The
United States circuit court to-day !
writ Of haheas corpus II tie misce-
genation oase Of the negro Edmund
the misceg enation case Of the negro
Edmund Kenney and the white WC-
man Mary Hall, now confined in the
penitentiary for violation Of the statue
prohibiting the intermarrying Of race,
was refused by Judge Hughes, on the
ground that the United States courts
have no jurisdiction over questions
Of marriage.
The opinion holds that the laws Of
marriage are at the sovereign control
and will Of each State, unaffected by
any provisions or any article Iof the
constitution Of the United States.
That absolute and entire power over
these laws Ii necessarily left al over
tho world, and in this union of States,
to the government Of local society.
That the law under which the parties
were convicted was with the unres-
trained legislative power Of Virginia
to enact it, and that it is not prohibi-
ted by any provision Of the national
constitution.
Az to making cont, acts, the opinion
holds that section 1897 Of the revised
statutes, which secures to all persons
within the United States the right in
every State to make and enforce con-
tracts, ETC., can only refer to contracts
lawful under the laws Of the States
wherein it is proposed to enforce
them. Admitting that the marriage
is a contract, the privilege Of enforc-
ing it extends only to lawful mar
riages; and that if q citizen of Vir-
ginia went to the District Of Column
bia, or to the territory of Utah, and
was there married in accordance with
the local law, he could not return
with his consort or consorts to:Vir-
sinia and expect to subordinate her
laws of marriage to the laws of the
other jurisdiction. ~
The case will probably be taken to
the Supreme Court Of the United.

TREASON!

We have had no city mail this week,
and to say that we wish the whole
service at the bottom of the internal
regions, is no express ourselves mild

a paper worth the reading unless We
can have access to the doings Of the
outside world I Yet this is the great
est government the world ever saw,
and if we lash its agents we might be
accused of treason.

What we need everywhere in this
country is q law that is strong enough
to deal with all the criminals-the
black one and the white on the young
and the old, the rich as well rs the
poor. What we further need is a
sentiment strong and we'll defined,
and aggressive, that will not allow
juries and courts to clear guilty men
merely because they have the money
to fee good lawyers.

One day they struck, and Noah said
"Now this is past endurance,
For we have surely LOST the Ark, and not
cent insurance.
They tried in vain to get her off, but she
was firmly stranded;
Soswaiting till the tide went down, their
cargo there they landed;
But soon the waters left tho earth, and
times looked quite alarming,
And they would sure have starved to
death had they not gone to farming.
And to this very se}f-samc man am for
life dependent,
Because sprung direct from him, and
am his true descendant.

There's some humor in the linss en-
titled "Noah's Ark" from our down
East friend, but they are of very une-
quail merit. We segregate passage
or two for the benefit of our readers
''Now, when all things were thus COM
plcte it rained without cessation;
The people all then wished that they
were Noah's dear relation; II
But wishes were of no avail when on
that subject founded,
For Noah would not lot them in, SO they
stayed out and drownded.
Now Capting Noah steered the Ark, his
wife she did the cooking;
And Noah's sons took turns to watch, to
keep the beasts from hooking.
They had been out six days without an
observation,
When they deserted . living man upon
acurious station.
Upon a mountains topmost height q tree
was firmly rooted;
Upon a tree for precious life, he with the
foods disputed; .s
And wheg lie saw the Ark come by then
were .his hopes awakened.
Says Noah: '"You Can't come on board,
because my wife's not willing,
And when dareao cross her plan l get
an awful drilling"
Then said the man, "rd sink you quick,
if it was in my power;
So 60 to grass with your old Ark-'tis
nothing but shower" 8
It drifted on for forty Days, and then it
ceased raining,
When, for the want Of something fresh,
the crew they got complaining,

their lives the honor and glory Of
Louisiana. We therefore take, espe-
cial pleasure in correcting the impress
sion thatundoubtedly existed amongst
our readers, that Mr.. Kennedy had
intended to take the position of one
who heedlessly desires to overtun

On tomorrow the capital ordinance
will be acted on by the committee on
general provisions. We have every
hope that report favoring the re-
storation to Baton Rouge will be rem
dered. 1t cannot be overlooked that
our city paid twenty thousand dollars
for the site on which the capitol is
erected, with the express condition
that the State would use it for the
purpose specified, else it would revert
to the city. That the iron railing that
encircles the grounds which Is in per-
feet order cost the State some forty
thousand dollars, and that the mag
nificently constructed walls of the
edifce could not be put up in their
present condition, save at the cost OF
hundreds of thousands. 1t is well
known that an insignificant sum OF
money will restore to the State one of
