Correspondence of the Crfssrnt
Baron RoUGE, February 90 1858.
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Parey introduced reso-
luton directing the Judiciary Committee Of that body
report bill for the passing of Registry law for the city
Of Neworeans as directed by the Constitution The re.
solution adopted and is possible that the commit
tee may do they have been directed but is mere
possibility and the probabilities are that it will not De
acted upon IL is worthy of remark that in both Houses
this resolution has been offered by country members The
Representatives from the city opposed to it, and I'M
less the country to the relief the Constitu
ton its positive requirements will be UNDECIDED until
new order of men and things are in the ascendant
The Rice bill came up for discussion and was re-
ferred to committee. From what have seen of the bill
see no great objections and it be easily shown that
it could be made to do great good If they can reclaim
the lands they will have done service the State Ifthe
State recaims them they would be Of value than
drained by the company but the contrary the cost
of draining would have be deducted from the price
sale before any profit could be calculated And if they
really raise the description Of rice they say they can
they will add great deal to the production and com.
merce of the State The experiment it would seem is
worthy Of trial If it fails it do harm-if it sue
oeeds it will do good There Is however much opposition
to 1t but arises from fear granting monopo-
lies, than from any objection to the scheme Another
great thing has to contend against the number
persons who here trying get it through 1t has too
many outside riders by great deal The best plan to
succeed in any thing Of this sort is to let nature
take its oourse'
Mr.. Nixon offered resolution ia The House this morn
ing directing the Committee Amendments TO the Con
stituton to take into consideration the proprety of
amending the article fixing tho Of Government at this
place, and the propriey Of fixing it at NewOrleans It
was thought that this matter definitely laid over no
having said any thing about some time and the
great agator of it, Mr. White having become quite re-
eoDced TO his country residence Ii he could forget the
gayities and charms of Thbodaux and get aceus.
toned the silence which prevails here after tho noise
and hustle of the great metropolis which he part re-
presents it was confidently expected that persons who
have been used to quiet and the breeze would find
enough here to keep their blood in circulation But II
that it is falling source Of legislative reso
lution and enaetments and that whenever member has
nothing else to do for fear of being lost sight eff if he is
not on his feet every moment he proposes remove the
Seat of Government alter the Constitution or more
frequently both. And so the time is passed
As for the removal that is out Of the question It
might have stood chance when the session openad
but is too late 1t would be great deal better for
the place if the question was put at rest in some shape
other doubt very much whether it is Of any great al
vatage to their interests have known single man
improved in his pecuniary circumstances since the es-
sion commenced, and have great many grog shos
spring up, and great many gambling establishments
opened in conssquenee-and have known Of a good
many people being robbed and good many houses
broken open which happened here to my knowledge
to any extent at least before So that do not believe
the real interest 4 the community would be at oil iu
jared the Legislature be taken away very GER
ainy it would not suffer if the present one went OF and
never came back
There was bare quorum present to day but enough
to get through good many local bills On Monday ii is
said they intend to turn new leaf aud 70 to work
