ALESSON FOR Us.

4 rumor comes from New York that
the government is having great difhculty
in securing transports for charter oe-
CAUSE ship-owners have combined and
refused TO charter their boats to the
United States, preferring 70 sell outright
at big prices.
we do not know how much truth there
Is in this. but there is no doubt that
Owners Of vessels have taken advantage
OF the governments emergency 10 sen
their vessels at exorbitant prices. a man
has n right to do what he will with his
own and TO dispose Of his property at ms
own nrice. But the man who will take
advantage Of the governments necessity
in time of war TO extort money Is to
say the least. lacking in patriotism
Rut all this is beside the question. All
euch transactions but emphasize the fact
that the government must never again
be caught in such fix. When war was
declared with Spain we were totally I'M
prepared for the fight and the war De-
partment was forced to send its agents
all over the world to pick up such ships
ne might be found and TO pay such prices
as the owners might demand. There was
no time for dlckering. Ship-owners
knew the governments necessity ana
made their own terms which the govern
ment was forced to accept
Worse than all this. our land forces
were huddled together in camp without
an adequate supply Of provisions ana
the soldiers have been so shubbily treated
that they have necessarily lost something
Of their respect for the government and
the opportunity TO enthuse them with the
war spirit has not been improved.
The soldiers of the republic would sub
nit TO any hardship if the government
were in straits, but they are not easily
persuaded that rich government Ike
the United States has been unable to give
them proper food and clothing.
We believe that this is due in part to
bad management. but 1t is due in the
main. as we have stated, TO sle lamenta-
ble fact that when this war was begun
we we're utterly unprepared for It, The
people have certainly learned most val
liable lesson and we mistake their tenn
per If they do not profit by it.

states. BY reference 10 our files we
find that on March 10Th, We quoted the
states as declaring that the suffrage or
dinance is so offensive 10 tho nostrils
Of the Louisiana people that there is
very general demand that 1t be deodorized
and inferred as soon as possible"
our contemporary also declared that
"under Section OF the ordinance tho
grossest frauds might be perpetrated. as
who can trace the lineage OF the de-
scendants. the sons and grandsons OF
those who could vote in the year 1867 and
prior thereto" Glow many of them"
asked the States, "are worthless vaga-
bonds. how many OF them are hood
lums. how many of them are In tho
ranks Of the criminal ciassesr
First and last we have seen extracts
from about fifteen Of the Louisiana pa
pers. and. with tho exception Of the
Picayune and the states, we have seen
nothing but condemnation Of the work
Of the convention.
our contemporary says that the criu-
cisms have been more favorable OF late,
hut IT is not two weeks ago that the
Times-Democrat declared that there was
such deep discomfort throughout the
state with the new constitution that 1t
was practically impossible for the new
LEGISLATURE to come together fresh from
the voices Of their constituents without
being largely imbued with the necessity
30 calling another constitutional conven-
ton forthwith.
The Shreveport Journal spoke 10 'he
same effect, declaring that an EFFORT
was then being made by the leading men
in every part Of the State 10 induce
the LEGISLATURE TO call another conyen-
tion to meet in December. "The purpose
Of this convention" said the Journal
els 10 correct the blunders Of omission
and commission perpetrated BY the con-
veution recently adjourned
These expressions may be insincere' and
the States has the advantage OF being
ON the ground, but If we may judge
from the tone Of the press and from
previous expressions from the states IT,
self. we are warranted in the conclusion
that the work Of the convention is very
far from being satisfactory to the people
at large.
We have had no desire to disparage
the work Of the Louisiana convention
for It was none of our affair. Our only
purpoge was to warn the people OF VIZ
ginia against the blunders OF the people
Of Louisiana.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP IN BOSTON.

We note from the Boston papers that
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of that city observed its go an
niyersary on Monday last and nad
great celebration.
Richmond SIS always interested IN the
Ancient and Honorables. seeing that
they once visited this city, and seeing
also that our military organizations have
been entertained in Boston most hospl-
tably. The Blues Battalion was invited
to attend the last anniversary and but
for the war would no doubt have ac-
cepted the invitation.
But this by the way. We refer TO the
subject by way OF making mention Oh
the fact that the occasion was employed
by one of the speakers to promote fra
ternity between the sections. The an
nual dinner was served in Faneuil Ham,
and It was presided over by Colonel J.
Payson Bradley, who in the course OF
his remarks said:
