WHERE Is THE CAPITALc

Our esteemed contemporary of the
Baton Rouge CAPIToLIAN, who has
all along been a most earnest and
persistent advocate of the policy of
calling an extra session of the gener-
al assembly and has implored the
Governor with tears in his eyes, as it
were, to take prompt action in the
premises in order to rid the body
polite of the many evils with which
it was afflicted, now that the execu-
tive has acceded to his request, is
much Disguised because the extra
session was not called to meet in Ba-
ton Rouge instead of New Orleans.
de quotes the articles of the cOnsti
tuition bearing upon the subject and
inferentially declares that no action
had by the Legislature sitting at New
Orleans will be legal. Nor are we so
sure that he is not correct in this
view.
Aside from the question of the le-
gality of the acts of the legislature
assembled at any other place than
the state capital as designated by the
organic law, we extend to our con-
temporary and to the boarding house
and saloon keepers of Baton Rouge
our profound sympathy at the pros
pect that they may be deprived of
the rich harvest which the assemblage
in their midst of SO eminent body
of solons would undoubtedly bring
them.--Shreveport Standard.
The New Orleans papers and the
Governor have settled the question.
While the Constitution designates
Baton Rouge they have located the

b imperative, because the constitution
requires that the General Assembly shall
meet at the seat Of Government, and
we must certainly agree with them and
believe that Governor McEnery has COM
mitted grave error in calling the ex.
ira session to meetin that city. Baton
Rouge paid thirty-fve thousand dollars
as an investment, expecting to realize
certain profits from the additional bust
ness that would naturally accrue from
the establishment Of the seat Of gov
eminent there. The meeting Of the
extra session Of tho Assembly in New
Orleans dsprives her of q part Of
this expected profit, and therefore to
a certain extent, she is damaged
a suit against the State to recover
these damages may be the next in order.
1t would be rather humiliating to have
the law that may be enacted in New Or
leans set aside by the Supreme Court
and also pay Baton Rouge because the
session was not legal. The subject is
worthy Of serious consideration, and we
hope the Governor will reconsider his
proclamation and convene the Assembly
at the seat of government, then there
will be no question as TO the legality of
It's acts.

ExPEDIENCy VS.. LEGALITY.

The circumstances we have mad,
regarding the violation of the Con
stitution, by Governor McEnery, il
cODvening the extra session of til,
Assembly at New Orleans, has at
tracted the attention of a patriot,
citizen, q jurist of the highest stand
ing and recognized ability,--an OK.
Justice of our State Supreme Court
who, under the signature of NoRTn
LOUISIANA, has favored us with his
views on the subject in question.
The communication under that
nom dc plume appears in this issue,
1T needs no commentator at our
hands. Our readers, especially those
belonging to the legal profession,
will find the subject thoroughly dis
sected in technical terms and in a
manner evidencing the familiarity
that the writer has with all that APP
pertains to constitutional law.
1t must have been noticed that our
New Orleans contemporaries have
avoided any comments on the sub
.ject, from legal standpoint.
The plea Of expediency, alone,
has thus far been advanced by them
in support OF what we believe is an
Illegal act
1t would seem as though the mat
ter regarded only the boarding house
and saloon keepers of New Orleans
and Baton Rouge.
Wehaye been unwillingto allow the
real issue to be so ignobly covered.
We do not mean to be sentimental
when we call the attention of the peo-
pie of the State, and of the Demo-
cratic party especially, to the fact
that o serious inroad in the letter aad
spirit of the Constitution has been
made by Governor McEnery.
There alone do we rest the issue.
If the people of the State are will
ling to have the organic law tram
Piled under foot and to abide the
evil consequences which must neces-
sarilJ follow, solely to afford first
class hotel, club and bar-room
accommodations to our States
men and Legislators, then we must
bow to their wishes.
If such be the case we can but de-
ride that public opinion which be-
lieves that we have reached period
when our public men are so much ia
need of the Establishments of a me.
tropolis, that the plain accommoda-
lions of a city of over seven thousand
are insufficient to supply
heir necessities.
In its edition of last Saturday, the
Democrat, great powerin Louisiana,
has treated the subject with super
,iliousness that must strike with ap-
)rehension all who prefer constitu-
'ional to personal government.
So far onr influential contemporary
las not deigned to notice the ques-
iOn,, otherwise than by intimating
hat the journals of the Capital and
he parishes had departed from the
lictates of reason by protesting
against an act which other men, be-
ides their editors, were openly con-
lemning.
We ask Of the Democrat, and our
'ther New Orleans contemporaries,
whose duty it is to guide and instruct
he people, to come down to the full
illment of their mission, by present.

EXCUSES which can easily be over
