THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The Constitutional Conven-
ton, which adjourned on the
night of the 25th, although in
session for a much longer pc
Rod than the Assembly con-
vening it, imagined would be
necessary for the work accom-
piished, has wrought improve
ments on the old '68 concern
OF such q magnitude as to
commend the gentlemen franz
ing the new constitution to
the gratitude of every lower
of cheap and efficient govern
ment. During the session of
the Convention much heated
discussion was INDUCED
in both within and outside the
portals gifts halls. The Stale
debt question, has been pro-
drctive of more than usual
political argument, as we'll as
the estrangement of friends
heretofore inallie nalible.
While one class whose honesty
and devotion to country can
not be questioned. were clam.
oring for the payment of the
whole State debt, by which
action alone they deemed the
honor and credit of Louisiana
could be sustained, there were
other and equally true patri'
OTIS having derectly opposite
views.
But now all this has been
settled, and we hope all dis
cussions will cease. There is
but one duty left the people
Of Louisiana, and that is to
bide their time till December
and then go to the polls and
peaceably deposit their ballo
FOR THE CONSTITUTION framed.
which is pronounced by COM
petent judges to be equal to
that of any State in the Union.
Let there be no faltering or
pickering in the matter. for
the success of the Democratic
party not only Of Louisiona,
but Of the Union depends upon
the result in December.

AFTER A PERIOD of thirteen or four

Delaware has no claim upon the govern
nlent for money paid for the substitutes

or somewhere else in Washington. 1t
further says that,
Not one dollar has been paid to any
STATE Tor expenses incurred IN furnishing
her quota OF any draft, whether such ex-
pendltur,s consisted in bounties paid

money furnished to procure substitutes

1t took long time to ind this out
and We presume it is somewhat with
this as it was with the claim for none,
due the State for arms. We knew thai
the case of Delaware was somewhat diff
terent from that of other States, wher,
the States took an active part in favor o
trampling down the seeded States b,
aims, While Delaware desired to favo
their retention in the Union by means G
peaceful efforts. We did hope that som

INAUGURATION DAY.-At Il o'clock
noon today, John w. Hall, Esq, of
Kent county, the Democratic Governor
elect, took the oath OF Office and was
duly and formally inaugurated in'o the
office of Governor OF Delaware. His
Inaugural Address will be found in an
other column. We are enabIedsto print
it thus early through the indulgence Of
Governor Hall and the courtesy Of his
Secretary of State, James l.. Wolcott,
Esq, OF Dover. 1t is pointed and iogi-
cal, and will meet with a hearty SYM "a
thy wherever it Is read by the Democrat
!c people in every Stae, AS well as by
the great mass Of the people Of our own
State, without regard to party distinc-
tiun. We have no time now, OF course,
to speak of it at length, nor does it re-
qure any lengthy remarks. 1t is SO plain
and Ineligible and SO hefitting the times
that the reader cannot mistake its tone
We have rarely read a document thai
handled the subjects upon which ii treat.
with more finish and completeness. w,
urg- its perusal upon the attention o
our readers. 1t will readily be perceive,
that Governor Hall fully represents hi
people i'll his aversion to standing armie
in times of peace. He quotes a goo,
moral in that which he asks his people t.
lay close to their hearts in maxim, 'tha
arms and liberty do not flourish to
gether.'

1t will be seen from our Washington
dispatches that Congressman Ward, OF
Chester, has obtained from Commodore
Rogers, Chairman OF the United States
Lighthouse Board, Il strong endorsement
OF his appeal to the Committee on Appro-
pratt ons for the nIoLey needed to esi alb
ii>h range lights on the Delaware river
The Lighthouse Board, as long ago al
1874, was convinced that the in er, sts oil
commerce and navigation require that
such lights should be stabllshed, and
since that time The commerce of Phila-
de phia, NOTWITHSTANDING the delays in
cident 10 the want of such taciIi les, has
been greatly increased. From Tlnicum
Island to Philadelphia range lights are
| needed at vaIous places to enable vessels
TO come up he nver al night, and they
are particularly needed by large draught
vessels, which are now obliged TO wait
for daylight 1t is probable, by the ss-
tablishment Of these range lights and 10y
dredging, to put an end to these embar.
rassments, and very earnest effor,
should be made to obtain the needed az.
