NEW LEGISLATURE.

The Importance Of electlng our most Intel
ligent, capable and experienced citizens TO
the approaching Legislature cannot be too
seriously regarded by our citizens 1t never
before In her history WIS SO imperlously
needed that the best talent Of Louisiana
should Do called int exercise to digest the
necessary statutes to adapt our jurtspru-
deroe to tho provisions OF the new eonstitu
ton. Such adaptation will involve the re-
peal Of u great many existing statutes and
the enactment Of new ones. The now consti-
tuition will create a rUa tabuld Of Legislation
It will remit the State to a condition which
will demand the most thorough knowledge of
Jurisprudence, and the most careful and labo-
rious preparation Of the new laws.
With the reluctance OF our most capable
citizens for this work, or any public service
which involves participation In political
contests, there will be great difficulty In se-
curing the services OF the persons needed to
perform this duty.
There are few ttractions presented by this
field OF patriotic duty. There are no rewards
or emoluments to stimulate ambition or re-
quite this most valuable public service.
Hence the appeal must be made to public
spirit, to duty TO our Interest and pride In our
State-nay, to the necessity OF self-protection.
Public opinion should demand such service
with an imperiousness that will admit OF nc
evasion or deolination. Like the demand Tor
posse comitatus, or the requirement Of mill
tary services In tho defense Of the State
against invasion. good citizens should be held
In disfavor and subject to reproof for refusing
to contribute their services to assist In the
organization OF our political system and the
framing Of the necessary laws to secure al
honest and efficient administration Of the gov
eminent and the lave. Sacrifices must be
made In this behalf. No good citizen inter
ested In the welfare OF the State can refuse tc
make such sacrifices. The people should &c.
oept no such refusal. AS for jury and Other
like public service, there should be few II any
exemptions from the duty Of aiding to estab
llsh In this State wiser Jurisprudence and
better legislation than we have long suffered
