Our State Election.T! e New Oireans Star of the 2d inst., intimates what

is to be expected from Gov. Wells, in relation to the

redrganisation of Louisiana as a State of the Federal

Union. We Lave no doubt that the Star speaks by

authority when it says that it is no fault of tile gov-

cr:or if there be delay in getting the legislation and

conlressioinal m incry into full operation againM,::t on

th;e contrary that he is anxious to avoid any unnecessary

postponement. Some delay has occurred in subetitut-

inr the piovisio::a.l gvernorship for that which Gov.

Wells at Present exerciscs, oni g to the non-receipt by

tile ( lc-id,:nt of the governor's application. It is

known that the colutias:oe is ready and it is presmined

that it will soon ie received. The Star intim •s that

l. hen the substitution takes Iplace the 1.-,i-aitio of the

last fear years ni: I.e a nui:ty, a-l a-;i-o the c-.'ttitu-

titn fitmed ulder (;Ge. 1;ak~' :tllitary ad:inlntration.

So it could seem tl:at we are to have a provisional

iovernor at :ast, if thera he anyi truth in th!e intirma

tis thrown out by the .t '.r, wi;.-h we hic ve no grounds

to doubt It is really the :,.:ly ,:oper and legitimate

course to follow and -lould haive been inaugurated two

111n1ts ago, su thit Le,:-iana :ig l have been one of

the fit-t, in:te.lt clf the l..et State to Inock at the door

of congress fcr aduitalce. HIowevcr it is better late

-than never, to do a good deed. The governor' comre i

'" will Le plainl and clear. Ile can call a convention in

th se saie lauer in which ;ors. Sharkey and Parsons

acted, taki.g the constituution of 152 :3s a :llis (,f

repre-entation and followingi its plrovieions in the de-'e tails for convoking arid holding such an assermbly. We

to heartily congratulate our citizens on the prospect of

:i gpttiuig rid of the constittiion of tll•O which effectuaily

a debarred us from ever getting back into the Union, andn, uhich in every respect is so ditastasteful to our people.

t. The Picayune, in its iss~e of the :b0th ult., has the sub-t- joined par graphs in r,-lation1 to this constitution:

constitution gave the governor tie power to appointjud-es, and that the constitution of 1561 abolishedslavcry and involuntary servitude, except for crime.

I was also sho!r thltt ',reat care was taken at everystale of the trial, to conflrm strictly to the rules oflegal practice, and that much merciful considerationwas -bown to the prisoner.No doubt this was true, but it was beside the case in

controversy. We do not deny the perfect formality ofthe trial in all its steps, but we deny the jurisdiction ofthe court in the case.

The point on which the whole case turns is in theq!testion: Was there iii the parish of BIosier on the7 th o f S ep te m b e r, l , 5 , ,,i , r ,, f i'e / l , ̂.

If there was, then is the defendant guilty in mannerand form as indicted, if there were not, lie eati claim averdict of aequitt:d.Was thertte an interruption of civil law.

* It i- admitted by all with whom we are concerned,that the constitution of La., made in 1.1Q2, has perished.Has the so-called constitution of 1 -1, succeeded to its

teat and authorit\ ? That constitution provided for themaking itself efl.etive. It says in substance that ithall be referred to it vote of thie people, in their severalparishes, on the 1st Mionday of Sept., 181;.

W\e are not concerned at present, with the que.ttiotn

of the adoption of the constitution within the U'-iololines. We are under to obli. tio::s to look outsideof tie parith of lstier, l or we iave not a'!!rtued an,,,rr t,, ,i" , i h, any ihere else.We repeat, the constitution ofi 1-2 is gone, and tlhe

cannot become binding in any other way. Now howts.-tan!ds tlhe ca-ne? (In the day on which the constitution

The Freedmen of the West Indies.Some years ago, latckwood's Magazine rcviewed a

book by C. W. Daiy, Esq., entitled "Five Years in theWest Indies,".and, among other things, said: "\Vemust either wholly discredit Mr. Day's book, and set itdown as a mere malicious fabrication, or we must agreewith him that negroes are only fit fir servitude, andthat it was a mistaken philanthrope that ever admittedthem to equality of privileges with civilised men, andto the enjoyment of a liberty which with them is onlyanother-word for idleness, license and depravity." Asto MIr. Day himself, lie gives his testimony on thiwise : "Oncefor all, I disclaim any party. I am neitheran enmancipationist nor an uphohler of slavery. I haveno interest in the matter either was; but, from obser-v.ation, I feel assured for negroes a restricted freedomis necessary, for they have not the judgmtent. to col-duct themselves properly, as white freemen would do,nor are they, in consequence, entitled to the catrepriviieges. And again : "All that is here written isthe result of unbiased observation, as the author is ofno party, although rejecting the Utopian absurdities ofExeter Hall. No one can judge of the negroes butthose who have lived among them." In the best dis-tricts of Bardadoes, where the free-lal,orsystem wtorkbetter than in most of the other islands, tle negro willnot work, Mr. Day says, mtors than fi mr days a-week-at a shilling a day, for nine hours labor. This, how-ever, is wonderful industry colmpared to what occurselsewhere. In"Trinidad, aecording to the same testi-meny, "the d"'.r tf"r ,;i,L a, of .Naples is prompt ac-ieity compared ilitil the ilnolence of the n;egroe,. I

never witnessed elsewhere auythilng like it; indeed, itis ine utprehensible to all who have lnot been in theWest Indies. Strapping iegro we:ches, thrice il rstrong as any European lemahl, will scarely take theitrouble to move, except to receiv\e nlonv." . doctor,a long resident of the island, said: "o imatter howmiuch prejudiced i person mnay come out in favor of the

'

negrosor may have believed them to havIle •,c wrongedor to be capable of implovmlient; no sooner does h,"see the innate brutality of their nature, and their fiend-ish, malignant, vindictive dispos:ion, thnl he changehhis tone for one of bitter disgust." A major of ahritisli regiment told Mr. Iay, that at Demerara partiesof soldiers were constantly employed to go about andprevent the black womlntiL fr'iOl inhumanly Ieatingtheir children. "The insolence and inubordination ofthe free black servants,' says I.-!ackw o d, 'are such aswould not le onile instant be tolerated in white dovmes-ities in any i uropean counltry.

rI:.TH on (lovER Itsor, ituRAH, OF TEXAS.-A eorres-

wI

poendent of a Texas paper, writing from Monterey, cr,says that Ex-Gov. Pendleton Murrah died in that city. I inThe heal S Gov. Murrah at the time of his eecetionwas far fr - being good, and his efforts to fulfill theduties of his office, together with the downfall of therebellion, hastened his death. Hle died in exile. The sihGalveston News, in speaking of his death, says he was i thno ordinary man, and that he rose to distinction and a Ifortune as a lawyer under disacvantages. His style as in,a writer and speaker was chaste and perspicuous. As opa palitician, he followed the extreme Wigfailschool. in:His administration will be remembered for abortive `11efforts to arrest the Confederate aggressions, which t,•robbed, and well-nigh ruined, the people of Texas. ith,lie dlid not possess tdl the nerve necessary for onthe times. Nor was he sustained by the clamorous c.men who had nothing to lose. Another generation II.may do justice to his memory. Gov. Murrah leaves inan interesting family.
