THE STATE DEBT RESOLUTION.

[Pointe Coupee Peliean.l
AS we go to press we learn that the Con
vention has at last agreed upon a basis Of
settling the public debt. The principal Of the
to 8 per cent for fifteen years, and per cent
thereafter, say twenty years.
This adjustment, by the reduction of in
terest, saves for the first fifteen years S425 0Ot
per year, and for the remaining twenty years
S283, 800 per year, or a total OF $12, ,000,000 tic
the taxpayers In interest alone.
We regard this adjustment Of the debt as
the best that could be done under the circum-
stances, considering the various views enter
tanned by the members OF the Convention.
We see that both Col. Claiborne and Mr..
Pariange voted for this settlement.
NO RECESS WANTED.

"A resolution has been introduced In the
Convention and several amendments offered
looking to the adjournment OF that body to
some future time and at some other place
than New Orleans. It may be wise to do SO,
but we do not believe it. It seems to us that
II the delegates will work diligently that the
work can be completed within the next fl
teen days. 1t Is very true that we are In the
midst OF the heated term, but this Is no 1egi-
innate excuse. Nothing should cause the
Convention to break its sessions except the
as far as we can learn nothing of the kind ex-
lists up to this. Hence, we trust that the
delegates will proceed with their work with
out any interruption. A break now would
borrow the color OF stampede and the
widest dissatisfaction would be created The
work is commenced, much of it has been ac-
eomplished, and lett be finished.
lPointe Coupee Pel1canl
Gentlemen, II you have any love or regard
for your constituents, finish this session; for
with public officers public time is synony-
nous with public money, and public money
means taxation.

all our general elections on the same day,
one extra election every four years; and, to
make importation impossible. increase the
number of voting precincts. Where O
voting precinct or ward is small
every legal voter therein will be well
known, and it will be impossible for non
residents or otherwise disqualified voters to
cast their ballots. The extra expense incur
red by thus increasing the number of voting
places will be but drop in the ocean CON-
pared to the expense and inconvenience of
the registry.
In large voting precincts where there are
say 500 to 1000 voters, it is impossible to
prevent illegal voting to greater or less de-
gree, but when the number of voters at one
poll shall not exceed two or three hundred
(the less the better partisan watchfulness, if
nothing else, will prevent the illegal ballot.
In changing or amending our cleo
ton laws there are two great
ends to accomplish. The first and
most important is fair and honest de-
post of the ballot, and an honest count
thereof; and, second, economy. 1t is in be-
half of these two great objects we plead.
We think we have briefly pointed out the
surest and most direct road to their accom-
plishment. The Democracy have nothing to
fear from an honest count of the honest vote
of the State, and we hope to see a Democrat
ic Legislature furnish the means to accom-
plish this with certainty and economy.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AGAIN.
AMENDMENTS

In our issue of January Il, we took occa-
sion to point out some ofthe most objection
able features of the proposed amendments to
the constitution now pending in the House.
We think that we have clearly shown that
the machinery necessary to carry out the
proposed amendments will immeasureably
swell the peoples taxes without any COM
pensating return; indeed, some of thess
amendments, if adopted, could only be at
tended with evil. We allude particularly
to the proposed change in the judicial elec-
tons and registry of voters. 1t is a mistake
to assume that political strife will or can be
lessened by separate election for judicial off,
GERS, and a further and equally pertinent OBJ
lection is that our elections are too frequent
as the law now stands.
1t is notorious that the strongest advocates
of the registry law in the larger cities are
those who are the most familiar with the
manner of perpetrating frauds upon the bal
lot and it is safe to say that in those cities
under the registration law ,lmany thousands,
of names whose owners are Wondering in
the grave are personated at the polls by
illegal voters. We suppose it viii be impos-
sible to frame an election law that will
make fraud absolutely impossible, but the
les machinery and completely there
Is about the law, the greater
the security against fraud. The qualifi-
catie1s for legal franchise are
easily defined, and the penalty for illegal
voting should be rigid, and the punishment
sure.
Instead of the expensive and vexatious
machinery Of registry, we think the suresi
mode of purfi. lying the ballot and keeping II
pure, will be TO amend the law 90 as to dc
