MIR. Placide, his Attorney, and the Supreme
Court.

We noticed, day or two since, ibelous
and mpertinent placard against the Judges OF
the Supreme Court. The placard was signed
by the attorney of Mr.. Placide, and was ac-
companied by the following full endorsement
its petty insolence appears upon its face, and
should make Placide's Varieties be esteemed as
a disreputable resort for every decent citizen
We should not think gentleman would propose
to take a lady to the Varieties, after this.
The article enclosed has reference judgment of the
Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana the suit of
Miss Emile Baron, against myself which it is commended
operates great injustice and rendered from corrupt
tyes The opinion of the Court rendered by the Hon
P. A. Rost.
The Judges of the Supreme Court are, Geo Eustis,
Chief Justice; Thomas Slidell P A. Rost and Isaac L.
Preston the last of whom recent OCCASION invited
the public to meet him at the American Theatre order
to hear his views the subject of the contemplated
Convention to amend the State Constitution This the
incident referred to in the introduction Of the article

from three to five of their largest boats to one
vessel, in order to clear the bar.
Ships lying at the bar from four to six weeks,
and then have to be drawn over the bar by three
or four Of the most powerful towboats! Calcu-
late the expense of detention of such extrava-
CANT hauage, the enormous risk Of losing an
entire business season, and say what it all comes
to as an impost upon commerce. Ships of 16a
to 20 feet draught, dragged by the power of
| three or four steam vessels through 13a to Is
feet of water Under such state of things is
| it reasonable that our commerce should increase
or even continue what it is It will take at
least six years to build either of our projected
railroads. One Of them-nay, both of Them
will be entirely dependent upon our ability to
communicate economically with the ocean.
What prospect have we, in the meantime. with
such state of navigation?
1t is serious and undenia BILE fact that the
United States Government criminally neglects
every interest of the Valley Of the Mississippi
A strict partisan construction has declared all
our Mississippi Valley interests to be unconsti-
tutional though there is little hesitation, upon
the part of eminent politicians SO deciding, to
vote millions of acres OF the public land where
the immediate interests of their constituents
may be concerned. Thousands Of lives are an
nually lost upon the neglected Mississippi. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are imposed upon
the commerce of NewOrleans-ss bar" up the
great navigable outlet of the Mississippi Valley
All this is to crafty the miserable and I'M
reasonable Constitutional scruples of few tech
meal politicians, who will vote thousands for an
Atlantic lighthouse, and refuse the psltry APP
preparation of $4,000 per annum for dredge
boat, which would deepen the outlets of the
Mississippi, and save from destructive imposts a
| trade as magnificent as ever yet the sun shone
upon. 1t is self-reproach for Western and
Southern men to say, that Legislators from the
Valley of the Mississippi are parties to this
wrong, and will tomorrow vote an Atlantic
coast appropriation, whilst they would forever
refuse one dollar to their own section.
