Am ng which was the adoption Of

The most cogent reason assigned
for calling an extra session is to give
the Genslal Assembly another OPP
portunity to make charter for New
Orleans in conformity to the new
constitution. 1t should BIZ borne in
mind that under the fundamental
law New Orleans is q separate gov
eminent aud that her delegates
claimed the exclusive privilege Of
legisla,ing for her. Differences
among them. fancied or real, delayed
the result OF their labors until near
the close of the session. Such as it
was passed both houses, but for
many reasons assigned was voiced
by the Governor. For wan: Of time
or inclination to frame Q new bill
and get it through under the rules it
| went over and left the government
in stata quo. Individuals and a
portion of the press have censured
| the Governor for his action. The
Supreme Court has constantly ap-
plauded him. Choose between
them.
The country. having no interest
in the matter, was willing to make
any grant the city might require.
but the city having failed to offer
one in accordance with law, is the
country under any obligations to
incur the expense to correct the
error in advance of the regular ses-

BAD ROADS.

Every people have certain tenden-
cies to extravaganza. In high life
it is shown in fondness for din-
monds Among fast people it is
manifested in passion for fine
horses. Our people indulge an ex-
travagant notion which is not SO
satisfactory in its results, but which
is certainly more high priced. A
very short calculation will prove
that bad roads are the most costly
things in which a people can in
dulge. Item 1.-The cost OF horse
and mule flesh. Item 2.-The dam
age to carriages and wagons. Item
3.-The interruption to the move
ment of crops AMI supplies. Item 4
The obstacles to travel on pleas
ure or business and the serious
losses resulting therefrom. Item 5
The advertisement it makes to
strangers, oflow public spirit. which
necessarily deters foreign invest
ment and domestic improvements.
The liberation OF bads roads is,
in q great measure, a matter OF edu-
cation. When people have been
raised with the idea that they neces-
sar:ly have to 60 to town through
a bog in winter. this enters into al
their calculations of life, and they
accept the Inconvenience 40 part
Of the inevitables in life. It ID
therefore impossible to hope for a
reformation until they are fully per-
suaded that good roads are not only
practicable but, on the whole. they
are the cheapest in the end.
