The latest news, fiction, poetry, sketches o' home life, anecdotes, literary and art gleanings, political intelligence, with foreign and domestic correspondence of varied character, will form a combination of such special attractions as is seldom presented in a single newBpapar issue. In the home circle, the hotel, on the railroad and steamboat, and in the country, it will be everywhere read and advertisers will only be consulting their own interests in making the Sunday Picayune a medium through which to bring their budi nees to the attention of its hosts of readers. A Texas correspondent sends us an interesting communication npon the subject of the early completion of the New Orleans, Mexican Gulf and Pacific Railroad, which ia inadmissible for the reason that a standing printers' rule is violaten, viz Write on but one eide of the paper. Tub Sixteen. Now that Mr.

Evarts has decided that a temporary appointment may be made for the New Orleans Cullectorship, it is to be presumed that some one of the eixteeu gentlemen who are aspiring to the office will soon be appointed. Numerous individuals are seriously exercised as to who will be the coming man. To Col. L. J.

Fleming, Chief Engineer and General Superintendent of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, we would express our thanks for courtesies. A more active, energetic and prompt business man than Col. Fleming we do not know. Frightening the Fkeed.men. At a Radical negro meeting in Montgomery, recently, one of the speakers told his colored friends that if they voted the Democratic ticket, and Seymour and Blair were elected, a war would ensue, and the negroes would have to be sold to pay the expenses." Who will sell the negroes The Radicals, of course for the speaker plainly intimates that the sale of the negroes, in the event of a war, would become a necessity.

We all know that the patriotic Radicals will not forbear anything necessary to sa ve the life of the nation." The ISoard of Police Commissioners have passed a resolution ordering all policemen to leave any political organization to which they may have attached themselves. This is a good idea and will be productive of good if faithfully carried out. It will not do, however, to wink at Loval Leaguers and come down on Democrats. Let the resolution be carried out without favor and it will meet the approbation of all good citizens. The Blair Knights.

The procession of this splendid clnb to night will be one of the finest demonstrations that the political enthusiasm of our people has yet called out. They are to be presented with an elegant banner, and it cannot be doubted that they will make fitting arrangements for the reception of a gift so highly appreciated. They are fully alive to tbe exigencies of the times, and no club will contribute more to the success of the principles they represent than the gallant Knights of the gallant soldier candidate, Frank HI air. The presentation will take place at the City Hotel A Suggestion to the State Central Committee. Should the Radical majority in tbe Legislature pass an infamous regist ra tion law which will prevent the majority of our people from voting," in that contingency, the Baton Rouge Advocate suggests Oar State Central Committee should consult with the National Democratic Committee in regard to the course to be pursued by those who were voters nnder the old constitution Let ns know what course will best aid our Northern friends in their determined efforts to save the country, and to a man our people will lollow it.

Louisiana Radicals An Outsider's Ojna ion. Says the Macon iGa.) Telegraph, refer ring to the suffrage oaths proposed by our Radical legislators Giant will be secure in a list of Louisiana voters purged of everybody who will not swear thai they believe the rebelliou moral ly and politically wrong," or that they are Radicals and will support him. The Louisiana Radicals show an impish cunning in the way of defrauding the people, which laughs to scorn the clumsy contrivance of naked rob bery hatched by the civil and military Radical caucus in vv asnington. OP A gentleman in Albany was arrested a tew day 8 ago for following a lady on the street He claimed that a man had a right to admire a handsome lady, let him meet her where he might The conrt and the lady her self agreed to this, and the gentleman was discharged. CThe Radicals want to organize cam paign choirs, but out of regard for Grant they will have no Jews harps.

Josh Billings says that men who have a great deal to do with horses demoralize much faster than the horses do. He adds: I know lots of folks who are real pins, and who are honest ennff to work np into united estate assessors, and such good moral chunks left over, bnt when they come to tork boss they want as much looken after as a case of dipthery." WHAT IS THE STATE OF LOUISIANA? The reconstructions attempted by Messrs Johnson and Lincoln, alike with that of Congress, were unauthorized by the constitution of the United and in derrogation of the rights of the ten States, of which they were the subjects, and which were accorded to the original States by their act in forming the Union, and to the others by their admission of those subsequently ad midded. We should never forget, when we deny the validity of the governments which the present Congress has created in these States, that the President had no right to form governments any more than Congress. There was in neither case any authority to do so, either in the constitution as written, nor by any compact which the States have made with them. When the State of Louisiana was admitted to the Union in 1812, it was by a declaration that the said State shall be one of the United States of America, and admitted in the Union on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatever," and the only condition annexed was that the Mississippi River and its navigable tributaries should be public high ways and free to all other States and Territories.

The constitution under which Louisiana was then admitted as a State, continued to be its governing law until 14S, when another was adopted, and this was again superseded by another in 1 8T2. The constitution of lcl'2 was dependent upon the sanction of the Congress for its validity, because Louisiana was not then a State but the constitutions of 184 needed neither permission to make them, nor affirmance of them, because they were the acts of the people of an admitted State, acting in its sovereign capacity. The same independent and sovereign State of Louisiana exists now as it did then. The war has decided one thing only, and that is, that the State could not leave the Union, but has taken from it no political right which it before possessed. Nay, in the veiy decision of this question the war has affirmed it as a truth, not to be denied, that the State could lose none of its rights any more than deliver itself from its duties and its allegiance.

It is still a State, with a constitution and a people sovereign under it; but who are its executive, judicial, legislative and administrative officers, and what is its constitution These are questions which the calm and unprejudiced reasoner must inquire into and which could only be decided by those who are not biassed by party or by their past arraignment on the one side or the other in the great revolutionary struggles of the past eight years. We think ourselves, that the true solu tion is found in this If secession had succeeded, it would have established that the people of a State have a right to take it out of the Union, and to alter their funda mental law accordingly. As it did not, and the war made to prevent its success proceeded upon the ground that secession was a usurpation of rights, and the governments, State as well as national, which attempted it, were usurpations, it follows that there were no valid governments uuder secession, and that their action was void, except so far as it was executed during its existence. So, too, with the government instituted in Louisiana in G4byGen. Banks.

It has been held by Congress that this was without warrant, and that all its action was invalid, except so far as it might be validated by competent authority. Where its action has been executed, there cannot well be any recall of it. Moneys paid can hardly be recovered back, nor things done be undone, but it is by no means certain that the people of the State are responsible for aught which was done by the infamous convention of 1SG4, or under its sanction. Now, too, we have another government which exists by the fiat and under the authority of the Thirty ninth and Fortieth Congresses. The very reasoning by which its advocates invalidated that of Banks and Lincoln, formed in applies equally to their own.

The State of Louisiana W. one of the United States, and there was as much right in Congress to prescribe a government and the right of franchise in New York a3 there was to do it for Louisiana. This government is equally as invalid as the other, and for tke like reason, that it comes from an assumption of power by the Federal Government over a State which has already been granted its autonomy and which has a valid constitution which, never having been set aside, except by revolutionary efforts which have failed, and a State government which has been superseded only in the same way, still possesses in the fullest degree all the rights and powers of government which it had in ISG1, when it made its abortive effort to secede. Judged by this line of reasoning, the conclusion is inevitable, that the constitution of the State of Louisiana, as adopted in is still the rightful constitution of the State, and those officers and agents of the State who were in the exercise of duties under it when it made its unhappy and unfortunate effort to secede, are yet its rightful officers and agents while the constitution lately formed, and the persons now governing nnder it, are such only facto, and must, wherever a resort is had to the cold logic of law and reason, be so declared to be. Isf Careful estimates place the yield of wheat for 1868, in Minnesota, at 15,000,000 bnshels.

Election for Members of Congress. Communicated. Under existing laws there can be no elec tion for members of Congress until the first Monday Novemoer, 1870. The election for members of Congress on the 17th and 18th of April. 18(18, was held under article 154 of the constitution of 18G8.

The members then elected having taken their seats in the Fortieth Congress, will be ftuictus itiicui on the 'a of March, l8b'J, at which time the Fortieth Congress will cease to exist the question now When can tbe members of Congress be again elected nnder ex isting laws The answer is plain: not until tne nrst Monday in November, 1870. Tbe constitution of 1868 has nothing further on the subject of congressional elections beyond what is contained in article lo4. We must, then, resort to legislative statutes for onr guidance. Tbe latest act on the subject is that of 1855. (See act of 1855, page 408, section 31 revised statutes, page 215, section 31.) That act provides that all general elections for members of Congress Bhall be held at the same time, etc, as is provided for the election of representatives to the General Assembly.

Article 17, of the constitution of 1868, requires that representatives shall be chosen on the first Monday in November, every two years. But the subsequent article 154 so far altered this provision as to have the first election held on the 17th and ldth ot April last, but allowing said terms to date from the regular day of election, the first Monday in November, 18G8. Under article 17, no election can be held for representatives until the first Monday of No vember, 1870; consequently, under existing laws, no election can be held for members of Congress until that time. It is within the province of the Legislature to fix the time when the election of members of Congress shall be held. Auricola.

Figures of the Kentucky Election. From tbe Louisville Courier, Aug. 12. We give this morning the vote of 97 counties official and unofficial, leaving only 13 counties and they, with one or two exceptions small mountains counties which last year polled in all only 8,934 votes yet to be heard from. Our figures show That Stevenson gains thug far in the popular vote over Helm, 23,763.

That Baker loses from the vote of Barnes, 98CG. That Stevenson's vote in the State will be about 114,000, and Baker's abont which will vary but a few hundred from the aggregate vote given last year. Our summary is as follows Gain in 94 counties, reported officially 41, 313 Lues ia 3 counties reported officially 41. OIS Gain in 2 counties reported unofficially 1, x3 Net gain in 09 counties 45, 018 lielm's majority 43, 119 88, 137 Stevenson's majority will be reported by the increase only in the thirteen counties to heard from added to to this aggregate. The ninety seven counties officially reported voted as follows for Governor last year: Helm 85.

137 Barnes 28, 056 Kinkead 12, 870 They now vote as follows Stevenson 108, 0 Baker 18 190 The remaining thirteen counties Breathitt, Floyd, Greennp, Harlan, Jackson, Johnson, Josh Bell, Letchei, Livingston, Magoffin, Perry, Kowan, Wolfe last year voted as follows: Heln 4.20ft Barnes 2, 45:4 KU kead 67 Clay and Carter, from which only majorities are reported, last year gave Stevenson 871, Barnes 1194, and Kinkead 230 votes. Stevenson's majority in the State will probably not vary 1000 from 90,000 certainly enough for all useful purposes. Club Meetings To Night. Fossil Guakds.

Says the Mobile Register of the 13th: From Mr. J.

C. Brown, of the firm of Robertson, Brown we learn that the cotton crop in the neighborhood ot Sumterville, Sumter county, is greatly damaged by the recent heavy rains. It has rained constantly during the past three weeks, and the boll and army worms have made their appearance, and are committing havoc with the crops, etc. We copy the following cheerful report from the Talladega Mountain Home of the 11th Almost every section of our county has been visited recently by good rains. Crops are very much improved and are looking well.

We" don't suppose there is any doubt but there will be enough corn raised to supply all our citizens. Cotton is doing well and will doubt leeB turn out a good yield. The farmers are generally in a better condition than they have been since the surrender. Last year's crop has enabled them to make this without purchasing supplies of breadstuff's. They are nearly all free from debt, and are in a condition to remain so tbey have learned bow to employ freedmen to advantage, and not to trust entirely to them to do the work.

With tbe present prospects we do not think that our people need fear the future. The Warsaw correspondent of the Mobile Register, writing on the 5th, says On the 11th of July I wrote you in regard to the crops and rains in this part of the country. Soon after that time it commenced a general raining, and such tremendous rains I hardly ever saw fall. Branches and creeks flooded, and the river high. Our cotton crops are certainly ruined.

Up to the time so much rain commenced falling, this part of the country never had mnch better cotton crops particularly that part of the lands that had seasons bnt all cotton is now growing very rapidly, and only making food for worms from all appearance, as they have commenced to show themselves. The weather continues cloudy, with rain almost every day, and but little sunshine. Onr best farmers think a half crop on the amount of land planted, being considerably less than formerly, will be as much, or even more, than we can now count on. The Montgomery Picayune of the 11th, on the authority of a private letter, reports that excessive rains had spoiled much of the fodder, and was causing the cotton to cust in the Southern part of the country. On the 12th the same paper reports A visit to the up country gave us an opportunity for a personal examination of the crops in parts of Lee and Russell counties.

The late excessive rain came too late to save tbe corn, and seriously damaged the cotton. Not half enough corn will be made in these counties for home consumption. The cotton will come out" some if the rain ceases aud as the worms confine themselves mostly to the lower counties, we may hope for a moderate yield. The peach crop has been seriously damaged by tbe rains, and will soon be gone. The editor of the Greensboro Beacon writes to that paper abont crops, on bis route of travel through the country.

The crops on the Newbern and Uniontown road, except those near to Newbern, are generally good, both corn and cotton, though the cotton has no doubt been already damaged by the rains. The weed was generally large, especially about Capt Hackaoee's plantation, and the plant in tbe most favorable condition for the worm and other disasters. The corn crop between Uniontown and Selma is decidedly poor1 in fact, we did not see one good crop on the entire road. Cotton, though, is generally very good. Corn and cotton this side of Selma, for some twenty to thirty miles, are both very poor but between Maplesviile and Randolph, in Bibb, good.

The Montgomery Picayune, of the 6th, says of the weather and tbe worms Tbe present rainy spell seems to be general throughout the State. The effect on cotton is most disastrous, and besides this, it generates the army worm by thousands. We fear the cotton crop will be cut short one half in this and the adjoining counties, and therefore advise farmers who have any to sell not to rush it on the opening market if the price is not remunerative a little patience will bring the prices np. We have information from all parts of the country that the worm is busily at work. The Hayneville Examiner says that tbe rainy weather has blighted the last hope of anything like a cotton crop beinirmade in that section.

In Bulloca county, the same cause has produced a like effect We take the following report from the Camden News, of the 4th Planters in many portions of this county are beginning to complain of too much rain. They say it is causing the cotton to shed its bolls, particularly cn sandy land. If the rains should continue, we fear the crop will be materially injured. The prospect now is unfavorable. The fodder pulling season is at band, but our planters will he nnable to save their fodder should this wet weather continue long.
