Reconstruction in Louisiana.
Hetcbks from Louisiana show that the people
Of that State, by a large majority, have voted
to told a Constitutional Convention. The
members were elected at the same time that
th8 question of holding a Convention was voted
Upon, bo that there will be no delay In pro
ceeding with the work. We have no doubt
lint aConBtitution liberal in its character, and
Organizing a government after , the true pat
tern of a republican State, will be adopted.
If bo, Louisiana will be speedily admitted into
the Union, and the work of reconstruction, so
iar as that State is concerned, will have been
Completed. A similar result, we do not doubt,
trill follow in the most of the Rebel States.
Nothing but the criminal apathy or negleot of
their people can prevent those States from
fcelng in the Union before the next Presiden
tial election. And suppose that those States
should come back with Constitutions guaran
teeing equal civil and political rights to all
their people, thus putting their Governments
Upon the recognized basis of our free republi
can institutions, will the result be one over
Trhich any true patriot ought to have any
Cther feelings than those of gladness and
tejoioing t Yet this is just the result towards
which the Congressional plan of reconstruc
tion tends.
The Decision in the Maryland Appren
tice Case.
TaB decision of Chief Justice Chase, yester
day, in me maryiana apprentice case, is a
landmark which may well remind us of how
far we have travelled from the infamous
decision of the late Chief Justice Taney in the
Prod Scott case. The one marks the era of pro
Slavery domination and demoralization; the
Other illustrates the mild and Christian reign
Of liberty and justice. Chief Justice Chase
lays down the following propositions a3 sound
law:
First. The first clause of the thirteenth
amendment of the Constitution of the United
(States Interdicts slavery and involuntary servi
tude, excopt as a puniahment for crime, and
establishes freedom as the constitutional right
Of all persons In the United States.
'Booond. The alleged apprenticeship In the
present case is involuntary servitude, within
the moaning of these words in the amendment.
"Third. If tfels were otherwise, the indenture
Bet forth in the return does not contain import
ant provisions for the security and beuetlt-of
the apprentice, which are requred by the laws
of Maryland in Indentures of white appren
tices, and is, therefore, in contravention of that
clause of the first section of the Civil Klghts
law enacted by Congress on April 9, 18(W.
'Fourth. This law having been enacted under
the second clause of the thirteenth amend
ment, In the enforcement of the first clause of
the amendment, is constitutional, and applies
to all conditions prohibited by It, whether
originating in transactions before or since Its
enactment.
"Fifth. Colored persons, equally with whites,
Are citizens of the United States."
The Prevention of Boiler Explosions.
The subject of the prevention of boiler explo
sions has, of late, been occupying the atten
tion of the public, and Councils have prepared
a very lengthy and elaborate ordinance for
tendering safe the lives and limbs of those who
reside in the neighborhood of those destruc
tive machines. By this provision inspectors
are to be appointed, licenses taken out, and
numerous other checks resorted to for the pur
pose of providing against danger. While all
these legal surroundings are excellent in their
way, we doubt if they cover all the ground in
tended. In fact, we think a much more effl
caoious idea is thrown out in a little pamphlet
Which we have received, and which treats of
the subject from a common sense, and not a
Scientific, stand-point. It closes with the fol
lowing sensible paragraph:
"All the certificates of ability that can be
Issued will never make the engineer keep the
right supply of water In the boilers and the
fires properly regulated; keep the safety valve
and weights properly adjusted, the gunge
cocks In working order and work them; nor will
inspection, which may or may not be thorough,
prevent the penurious from overworking their
tollers to save the expense of larger ones. A
law to hold Uie owners or usen and engineers re-
Sponsible, criminally at well an pecuniarily, or
amagei dona to person or property, and compel
tecurity beore they can use such boilers, would
have the best effect. These boilers are for their
private use; why should they not be held re
sponsible for damage done by boilers as well as
damage done by any other species of properly ?
huch a law would make owners look well to
their engineers, and the engineers would not
neglect their duties. If such a law was rigidly
enloroed, we would not hear of these explo
sions. In every explosion there Is misuse;
there Is no secret chemical cause, nor will there
be any explosions of boilers when properly
used: when misused, the lives and limbs of
people within their reach are at the mercy of
chance,"
This suggestion seems to us to embody a much
more effective plan of remedying the evil than
the more extensive one of Councils. Let the
legislature for it falla under their province,
rather than under the control of our municipal
authorities pass a statute requiring the owners
Of all boilers to give bonds, in which the engi
neer flhali be joined, to properly use the
filers; and let it be made a penal offense for
violation of the law. By this means, a
double incentive will be secured, while under
the present law a prevention is attempted
lmt not a punishment inilicted. The vindica
tion la always the most important part of a
law, and in this case it is almost entirely
Wanting. We would call this subject to the
attention of our newly-eleoted members to
Jlarriaburg, and urge on them the propriety
Of seeing that some such statute is passed.
There is a chance in this for our new member
to commence their official life by an act of
trisdem which will greatly benefit our city.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TmLADELPmA, THURSDAY,
Inaccuracy of Wills and Testaments.
A cask rocently oame up before our County
Court of Common Pleas which forcibly im
presses on all the absolute necessity of having
their last wills and testaments drawn up by a
practitioner, whose business it is to know the
rules of law on the aubjeot of devises, and who
can express for them in unmistakable words
what they mean. It is a peculiarity of the
English language that it is a matter of ex
treme difficulty to Bay in writing exactly what
is intended. There are Very few documents
which can be written in such a way as to pre
clude all doubt as to the author's intentions.
And this is more especially true in law, where
a long series of precedents have caused a cer
tain meaning to be attached to a phrase which
possibly is intended to express exactly the re
verse. The extreme uncertainty of wills is evi
denced in the case of the Rex will, which was
before the Court a few days since, and on
which Judge Brewster delivered an opinion
which stamped him as a lawyer of great
ability and profound application.
We will not go into the details of this case,
involving as it does all the subtleties of the
common law of contingent remainders; but
will only state that the testator made his will
in 1801, leaving his property to his son3, and
the share of one of them, who was in failing
health, was to go to his brother if he died in
testate. The will was made in expectation of
the death of this son previous to that of the
father, but the uncertainty of human life wa3
never more clearly attested. The son, whose
death was daily anticipated, not only survived
Lis father, but all of his brothers, and died in
1857 at a very advanced age. The issue was
over the meaning of the old will, and it de
veloped matters which, had they been antici
pated by the venerable Rex, would, as Judge
Brewster well remarked, "have sent him into
a cold intestacy."
.The lesson to be learned from this and the
many similar cases which have occurred in
our State, and are still daily occurring, is
clearly that all who have property to leave
should have the disposition of it drawn up by
some qualified lawyer. We do not care what
pains the non-professional may take to express
himself clearly, he may be making a mistake
which will vitiate all the spirit of his inten
tion. It is far better for all our property
holders to go to the grave without any wilU
and let the law divide their property, than it is
for them to leave an illy-adjusted and badly
expressed testament, which will probably
cause half the estate to be eaten up in the
expenses of a suit to determine what the "dear
departed" really meant.
The Difference.
A few weeks since a squad of soldiers, sta
tioned in some little secesh plaoe in Arkansas,
exasperated by the insults and vile denuncia
tions of a Rebel newspaper, abated the nui
sance iu a manner as summary as it was
unlawful. The Colonel in command of the
diatrlot, when appealed to iu explanation of
the matter, was betrayed into sending a very
indiscreet reply, to the effect that the military
were the masters, not the servants, of the
Southern people. For this offense he has been
reduced to the rank of Captain, and fined one
thousand dollars. This, is the military despotism
which afflicts the South. When the Demo
cratic party . had sway in that part of the
country, the mobbing of Republican news
papers and the hanging of their editors was
a common pastime of the chivalry.
Indiana.
The " reaction" in Indiana proves to be alto
gether mythical. The State gives some 20,000
majority, and there are large Republican gains
in many of the counties. Nine out of the
eleven Congressional districts give Republican
majorities, being a clear gain of one district,
the Fourth.
Military Cemeteries In the Sonth.
Captain Charles Barnard, Assistant Quarter
master, in charge of the cemeterial aiiuiia in
the Filth Military District, hu9 recently returned
to New Orleans from a tour of inspection iu
Texas and Central Louisiana, in company with
General Lorenzo Thomas, the Adjutant-General
ol the Army.
There have been ten military cemeteries estab
lished In Texas, as follows: In Galveston, Hous
ton, Hempstead, AustiD, San Antonio, Lnvaca,
Brownsville, Brazos Santiago, Ringgold Bar
racks, and Tyler.
It has been decided to remove all of those in
terred to three cemeteries, as follows: Those in
Houston, Tyler, Hempstead, and Lavaca to
Galveston; those in Austin to Ban Antonio; and
those iu Brazos Santiago and Ringgold Bar
racks to Brownsville. All other military ceme
tt riea in Texas are to be broken up. General
Potter is in charge of the cemetery in Galves
ton, Colonel Lee ot that at Sun Autonio, and
Captain Hoyt of that of Brownsville.
Iu Louisiana there have been cemeteries esta
blished at Chalniette, near New Orleans Ba'on
Bouge. Port Hudson, and Alexandria. That at
Bort Hudson has been ordered to be broken up.
and those interred therein are to be transferred
to Batou Rouge, in charge of Captaiu William
Fletcher, ol the Twentieth United States Iu-
iautry. The cemetery at Alexandria is under
the control of Lieutenant Maxwell, of the same
regiment.
l'he cemetery of Chalaiette is under the im
mediate control of Captain Barnard, one of the
ablest and mott accoamlished officers of the
United States array. There have already beea
upwards of ttlteen thousand interment in Cual
mette. while five thousand bodies are yet to be
interred therein. Captain Barnard is makinff
improvements in the Chalmette Cemetery which
will tend ultimately to make this cemetery the
most beautiful resting place for the dead in the
suburbs ol the Crescent City.

THE UN FALLEN BANNER.
From th W. T. Independent.
Courage is characteristic of American armies;
poltroonery, of Amerioan politios. Give men
muskets, set them shoulder te shoulder in
the field, sound the charge, and each man
makes his oomrade a hero; but marshal these
same men into a political party, lead them into
battle for an idea, and, nine times out of ten,
they will demoralize each other into cowards.
The Republican party notwithstanding its
boasted high mettle, and notwithstanding its
still more boasted high principle even yet
quakes at meeting a negro by day as at seeing
a ghost by night.
For instance: when negro suffrage is pro
posed for South Carolina a Southern State
the Republican party uplifts a lion's paw,
and magnifioently enforces obedienoe; but
when negro suffrage is at issue in Ohio a
Northern State the Republican party bor
rows a hare's legs, and runs away from its own
principles.
Of all the bayonets which Ohio pointed at
Southern Rebels, none were borne more vic
toriously than by her black troops. When
the war was over, these troops took home their
battle-flags, flaunted them gayly under green
arches through applauding streets, and, dur
ing the first flush of a few brief, generous
days, were actually made to fancy themselves
welcomed by their fellow-citizens. But now,
before the echoes of the war have yet ceased
to ring in men's ears, these same negroes of
Ohio, after having justly asked by the double
claim of citizens and soldiers for that elective
franchise which other men enjoy, are suddenly
answered by 40,000 Republican voices utter
ing a verdict of Nay 1
Are republics not ungrateful? If ever a
republic owed gratitude to anybody, this re
public owes gratitude to the negro. The pro
posed new Constitution of Ohio undertook to
enfranchise the negro, and disfranchise the
draft sneak; but 40,000 Republicans decided
that the white coward should receive the
ballot, and the black hero should be denied it I
"Where the offense is, let the great axe
fall." The disaster in Ohio was the direct
work of the Republican party; the Democratio
was altogether too impotent to aohieve the
crime. The party that had the power to pass
the Suffrage amendment, but refused to do it,
must take the undivided responsibility for the
defeat. Indeed, the Republicans ostentatiously
confess their guilt by the very fact that they
e'ected their Governor by 3000 majority,
and at the same time threw overboard
negro suffrage by 40,000 minority. They
have proved themselves content to give the
negro a musket for the protection of white
men, and to deny him a ballot for the protection
of himself. It is idle to say that the Demo
cratic party overthrew the amendment. Of
course, they cast their whole weight against
it; but it wa3 the blow of the Republicans
that sent it tottering to its fall. The chief
mischief-maker was the party which could
cousent to use both its hands to lift a
white man into a governorship, and te use
only one of its hands to lift the negro out of
the dust.
The plain deduction is, the Republican party
though it has shown much friendliness to
the negro, and has professed much more
cannot yet look mm in the face without re
membering his color and forgetting his rights.
That party cannot yet be trusted to perform a
true knight-errant's championship of the
oppressed. That party has betrayed its
client as Andrew Johnson has betrayed
his country. That party's Copperhead ene-
tuln. ulmi y euouKh of flring iruua against
Rebels have, in every Northern city,
just been firing a hundred jubilant guns
againRt the negro every gun loaded
and wadded with Republican votes I Undent
able is the fact that a sufficient mass of the
Rfpnblioan party te hold the balance of power
within its ranks not only dislike the negro.
but are more willing to tread him under foot
than to give him a helping hand. Both in and
out of Ohio, by such Republicans, a negro is a
less respected man than a Rebel. And, if the
Ohio election were to be held over agatn to
morrow, this same section of the Republican
party would preler to vote for Mr. Vauandig-
ham himself rather than invite the negro to
elect a better man.
People who have supposed that American
Slavery ended with the decree of emancipation,
or ended with the prohibitory Constitutional
amendment, or ended with the Civil Ritrhts
bill, or ended with the Congressional plan of
reconstruction, may now open their eyes to
see mat "the end is not vet." The nesrro.
freed in the South, is still a bond-slave to the
Republican party of Ohio. How many other
northern Estates mean to be slave-masters 1
But let us gratefully say that the Ohio Re
publican leaders the men who nroiected snf.
fiage as the chief and unavoidable issue: the
men who framed an honorable platform of im
paitial justice, on which they pledged them
selves either to stand or fall did a manlv
work, and are entitled to a noble praise. They
neie willing to lose the conservative vote
rather than to sacrifice the negro. They vol
untarily put their party to the hazard of
aeieat rather than suffer its leading principle
iu go mmum a witness, ine end Has justified
the means. It is a thousand times better to
have been" defeated on the square issue of
negro suffrage than to have been victorious on
some mere platitude of patriotism. The
defeats of such men are victories. In the
hands of those who never falter, the banner
never falls!
Tub Sun Spots. The spots which appeared
in September on the sun's disk were carefully
examined by M. Chaoornac, who has just laid
the results of his observations before the
French Academy. He thinks that these spots
result from certain planetary influences on the
solar photosphere, and that they are, to a cer
tain extent, periodical phenomena. The spot
now seen indicates the position of a group of
volcanoes in the nucleus. The largest of these
solar spots is situated towards the eastern ex
tremity of the sun's visible hemisphere, and
may be seen with the naked eye.
New CoMroBND of Gelatine. It has been
found, says the English Mechanic, that the
addition of glycerine to gelatine imparts to it
new, curious, and useful properties. Mixed
with glycerine, gelatine solidifies on cooling,
without losing its ductility, and answers well
for hermetically sealing bottles. For this pur
pope it is merely neoessary to plunge the neck
of the bottle, after it has been corked, into the
heated mixture, and, after allowing it to cool,
repeating the dipping until a sufficiently thick
coating is obtained.
Stekl and Iron Directly from thb Ore.
The Journal of Mining says: "Mr. C. W.
Siemen has patented in England a process for
producing oast-steel and iron directly from the
ore by exposing the ore, In a finely divided
state, to the surface action of intense heat,
while currents of rich hydrocarbons peroolate
through the mass of ore in a transverse direction
towards the heated surface. By the passage
of the gases the ore is reduoed and carbon
ized, and the melting surface of the mass being
enveloped in an atmosphere of reducing gas
or flame, the reoxydatiou of the reduoed
metal U prevented."

If the result of the late elections shall force
