The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-10-11

The following highly complimentary remarks, in
re- erence 10 Mr.. Frerei's high capabilities for the
tolIeClOrship, and for the duties of Commissioner
Of the new Customhouse, in which we fully con-
cur:
In addition to his acknowledged fine capacity
for commercial affairs, MIR. Freret's appOlntm mt
cannot but exercise happy influence on the new
structure, for his architectural knowledge is of The
highest order, and his industry and zeal beyond all
praise"
Tie Financial Condition of the Second lIlt-
aictpaiity.-The report of the Finance Committee
and the accompanying resolutions surrendering to
he Board of Liquidators the Sinking Fund, have
been accepted. The result is that the Municipal
tty is no longer troubled with the management of
Is old debt, which is thus put out to dry nurse.
This step certainly relieves the Council from the
Isagreeable task Of looking after obligations ncon-
geniently maturing. But on the other hand the
debts incurred since May 9th, 1850, will all be
promptly paid. The watchmen, teachers, printers
and other officers will be paid punctualIy. The
men who do the hard work, will know that every
Saturday night they will be paid with as much
certainty if they were in the employ of the
Crescent. We glad that the Council have
AIKEN this step. The Legislature has taken from
them the management OF their own affairs it has
appointed quidators to arrange the debts of each
NJ the Municipalities and we think the Councils
may very well submit to the law, unjust and in
sultng it is. We believe there is but one opin-
on as to the unconstiutionality of some of its en-
tctments.
The periodicals have been received from Nor.

The leading article is the Life of Leonardo du

nItted and the liberties he took with the author.
