Now that Mr. Evarta has decided that a temporary appointment may be made for the New Orleans Collectorship, it is to be presumed that some one of the sixteen gentlemen who are aspiring to the office will soon be appointed. Numerous individuals are seriously exercised as to who will be the coming man.

Frighteniko tite. Freedmkn. At a Rad ical 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 feold to pay the expenses." Who will sell the negroes The Radicals, of coarse for the speaker plainly intimates that the sale of the negroes, in the event of a war, would become necessity. We all know that the patriotic Radicals will not forbear anything necessary to save the life of the nation." fdf We learn that Gen. Reynolds has ap pointed a military commission which will move about the State and try offenders.

This is just what is needed. San. Antonio is. If this tie true, then we fear for the peace of the State in Texas. In fact, we are almost prepared to anticipate the worst possible results from such a movement.

A roving military commission is an exercise of unmitigated military despotism, hazardous at all times and everywhere, but when attempted to be exer cised in Texas at this critical juncture, ii is fraught with the direst of civil discords. Texas needs, just now, the wisest and coolest headB iit the helm of public affairs. The people are a peculiar people. Their worst faults are bat the excesses of their many and conspicuous virtues. They may be led, not driven.

They are aa open as children to the counsel of those they think worthy to lend, but their vocabulary has no such word as intimidation. Gen. Reynolds has served long enongh among them, both before and since the war, to know this people thoroughly. As a soldier he most respect their high personal courage, even if at times it has about it the ensanguined dash of the desperado, and he must know, or ought to know, that letting loose a roving military commission with its abhorred parphernelia of despotism, among such suick spirited asserters of personal liberty, is tampering with civil war. We hope earnest that he will dismiss the evil, corrupt and recklessly ambitious councillors that nrge such desperate ventures.

Their aims are wholly selfish and as utterly regardless of the public weal as can well be with men who are identified neither by interests nor sympathy with the people they seek to rule or rain. Let Gen. Reynolds remember that should the State be plunged into civil or servile war, not the Hamiltous, nor Peases, nor Caldwells, but he, and he alone, will be held responsible. In the State Senate, eeterday, the State constabulary bills, ottered respectively by Messrs. Campbell and O'Hara, were defeated, each being laid on the table and recon ideration thereof refused.

Mr. Ray, who lives in the vicinity of the region most likely to be disturbed and to need aid to suppress any possible lawlessness, declared that such a force could not tend to repress disorder while Mr. Bacon declared that the commissioning and sending forth by the Governor, his high constables and their deputies to dispute with the sheriffs and their deputies the proper performance of the duties in their respective parish'es, would produce conflicts, if none were otherwise likely to take place. If the sheriffs failed to perform their duty, let them be made to do it, if they can be, and if not, let them be removed but let as not set np another authority in the midst of them, to dispute with them the exercise of it. This action in the Senate shows a determination upon the part of the moderate men to unite and put down aggressive legislation.

We hope it will be made more and more manifest in the future. Calvary Church, Prytania street, between Fifth and Sixth Rev. Dr. Lewis, rector. Services on Sunday, at 11 A.

Johnson and Lincoln, alike with that of Congress, were unauthorized by the constitution of the United States and in derogation oCthe 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 subsequent admission. 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. WThen the State of Louisiana was admitted to the Union in 1 812, 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 bo public high ways and free to all other States and Territories.

Tlie constitution under which Louisiana Was then admitted as a State, continued to be its governing law until lc when anothej was adopted, and this was again superseded by another in 18.72. The constitution of 161'2 was dependent upon the sanction of the Congress for its validity, because Louisiana was not then a State but the constitutions of 1 848 and li'yl 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 lo6e none of its rights any more than deliver itsefrom 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, i.ud 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 solution is found in this If secession had succeeded, it would have established that the 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 oi rights, and that 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 wa? executed during its existence. So, too. with the government instituted in Louisiana in lC4 by Gen.

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 15(1, or under its sanction Now, too, we have another government which exists by the fiat and uuJer the authority of the Thirty ninth and Fortieth Congresses. The very reasoning by which its advocates invalidated that of Banks and Lincoln, formed in ISfM, applies equally to their own.

The State of Loui siana was 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 as 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 IsGl, when it made its abortive effort to Be cede. Judged by this line of reasoning, the conclusion is inevitable, that the constitution of the State of Louisiana, as adopted in ISiVJ, 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 under 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.

A statement, con cerniuK the Texas cattle disease, made by K. Dodge, Statistician of the Department of Agriculture, as the result of extended investi gatiou. contains the following points: I. Tha the disease is communicated by cat tie from Texas, Florida and other portions of the Uuit coast. That such disease is itself unknown in Texas or on the Gulf coast 3.

That the cattle communicating it are not only apparently healthy but are generally lm Drovins in condition. 4. That while local herds receiving the in lection nearly all die tbey never communi cate the disease to others. o. 1 hat either a considerable increase in elevation or a distance of two or three de grees of latitude from the starting point is necessary to develop the virus into activity and virnlenc y.

and a further progress of two degrees of latitude and a tew weeks in time is sufficient to eliminate the poison from the Bystem. t. That Texas cattle removed to other mi aamatic sections, as the Mississippi bottoms, up to the i'ltu parallel, communicate no mfec tion to local herds. 7. That medication has thus far been of no avail.

Mr. Dodge concludes that the disease can not become general, and that it canaot exist only within the movements of lexas cattle which could be regulated or suppressed, and that it does not result from travel but from climatic disease. Mrs. Gen. Kawlings and Mrs.

lo. Uomte K. de Korean ran erny is appointed first Secretary to the Washington Legation. Election for Members of Congress. Cenunanicated.

1 Under existing laws there can be no election for members of Congress until the first Monday in November, 1870. The election for members of Congress on the 17th and 18th of April, 1868, was beld under article 154 of the constitution of 1868. The members then elected having taken their seats in the Fortieth Congress, will be functus officio on the 3d of March, 1869, at which time the Fortieth Congress will cease to exist. The question now ii When can the members of Congress be again elected under existing laws The answer is plain: not until the first Monday in November, 1870. The constitution of 1868 has nothing further on the subject of congressional elections beyond what is contained in article 154.

We must, then, resort to legislative statutes for our guidance. The 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 shall be beld at the same time, 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 elec tion held on the 17th and 18th of April last, but allowing said terms to date from the regular day of election, the first Monday in November, 1868.

Under article 17, no election can be held for representatives until the first Monday of November, 1870; 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.
