IRE FIRST AND SECOND MUNClpALlrIEs.-It seems
that no opportunity is neglected by the Mayor and the
enemies Of the Second Municipality, TO cause ull the
d''culty possible between tbs two cnrnorutius-and
whether in official messages editorial articles it
tcrs not, the most cross misrepresentation of facts
unbus hnsIy made, with view to mi-ead public opin-
ION in favor OF the First and against tic Second Nlunic
pality.
An article in the L"u+iauin Yesterday morning con-
ains synopsis of the Mayors message the subject
of the proposed sale Of ground, and from beginning To
end is devoid of truth. All the errors are distiut,y
| traceabc to their source.
We beg inform the Iosanian, that it is in error in
saying tina: time before the city was divd,l'i, had
been agreed rlw the United States anl the civ
that said square should he sod-,he proceeds tepesit
ed and two Commissioners be appointed. No such
propositions were made by the city, or entertained by
the General Government-this must he ascrcd bv ha,
journal t" the !c vil magnation Of his honor the May
or. And ugain-,hc Council ofthe Second Municirai-
y never resolved TINT the 50 belonged exclusively
! to SAT- corporation.
The Secretary Of tic Treasury did nok-hcforc the
Second Municipality organzed-" request the IT,
States Judge Of this District, acting for the United
States, to appoint commissioner, provided commits
s"nrr were also appointed on the part of the city Of
New Greans.''

the Luuisanian. The Mayor should turn his attention
to poetry and romance, he woxld certainly get along
better for himsclfan would give more satisfaction to
the public.
We will continue --rcly:ng the high authority Of
his honor the Mayor the I,ouaiupian says there is
suit between the corporations relative to this very
point and until this decided ncithe, the Secretary Of
the Treasury, nor the Council of the Second Munich
palitv say whom belongs or to HON ouc ht 10
be con'r' the custody Of the funds proceeding from
The sac"
Now look at the fact. The Council of the first Mon-
pay had been TN a'cnns 10 institute the suit for this
squire for two years. when in arrangement made in
May, 1883, it was required of them bv the Council of
the second municipality, to institute suit within two
months after the sac-hc Council Of the First refused
10 be bonni to do this, and modified the
to agree institute suit soon possible after the
sale.
No sui, has bccd instituted yet, and it is impossible
to get them to do it-sO ycxaliuus ridculous md NM
cnnnble do they themselves consider their "preten-
lions" Their only object hns l'een, and is to in.
ilrc the sale t" prevent il, and thereby rctod i'm
pruve,r.n's in the second Nmic palitv.
Shou the frs, Municipality succeed in divcs,ins the
2dofits of The square The ground
that the law vr-ting it this corporntion is Illegal,
the in this affair stupid ms not to see
that the first Municipality will probnb, lose half ii mil
lion dollars in qurncc for size would then have
TO divide with the second and third NIunlcipp les all
the real property which belonged to the ancient cofpo-
ration, situated within her limits. This is the real
cause why the first Municipality does not institute the
threatened suit.
great fuss is made because Mr.. Peters will prola
bly, be appointed y the u. s. C,cuit Cou,t one Of the
commissioners. The character and conduct of Mr.. p.
are lar above the reach of The Mayor and his Satellites
The people Of The second Municipality will never con-
sent that the Mayor shall for them in an affair in
vovnS such large interests, and requiring 50 much in
eliigcncc.
