Correspondence of tbe Crescent.
BAroN RouGI, March L 1858.
The ice has been broken in favor of railroad from this
place to Neworleans. In the House, this morning, Mr.
Bailey introduced bill having for its object the ncor
poraton Of company be styled the NowOrleans and
Baton Rouge Railroad Company 1t provides that
million OF stock shall have been subscribed the
company shall be incorporated The gentlemen who are
at the head Of this movement eminently qualified to
push Il through if they will devote their time to it They
D D Avery, ". 5. Pike, j A. Mediation, f D. Con
rad Philip Hieky and a number Of others All these
have mentioned of and public spirit and
if they devote their energies to will have some
of Mr.. Laceys cars of commerce whistlng along the
coast.
The vote which taken upon the Plank road question
the other day, is going to have important influence
upon the application for the incorporation of railroad and
plank road companies and whether any Of them will be
incorporated not is matter of doubt The dis
position evidenced by the vote referred to- is strong to
all these sorts of enterprises and that any person will
take stock in them, if they incorporated with
such incubus resting upon them is hardly to be hoped
for sober second thought make the democrats with
whom have conversed change their opinions but have
it from very good authority that violent effort will be
made to oppose any attempt at relieving them from
ton.
The Judiciary bill for the city came up in the House
this morning and passed 1t provides for the esab-
ishment of District Courts with salaries of three thou
sand five hundred dollars the Judges While the bill
under discussion. Mr. Hesein moved an amendment
to the twelfth section fixing the Seat Of Justice Of the
Sixth District ut the Courthouse in Lafayette which was
lost.
The country members have uneonscously perhaps and
perhaps unavoidaby been over-reached in this matter
When the Judiciary Committee reported the bills for the
organization Of the Judiciary the bill taken up to-day
seemed to have precedence At all events, it first
called up by the Speaker, when, motion of Mr. Heis-
teiu it re-commtted to the committee The country
bills then taken up and continued with preference
all other business. In the confusion consequent
upon the great number Of schemes put forward for the
organization of the country districts the utter want
of concert of action between them the city delegation
managed to get their bill taken up in preference The
consequence is, that the city members, having passed
their bill giving their Judges good salaries b. as
strong advocates for retreuchment reform as they
may feel inclined aud refuse with impunity any at
tempt to give the salaries to their brethren of the
country And this after the adoption by the House of
the Minority bill whore the Districts nearly as nu-
there parishes in the State they viii I've very
apt do If twelve Districts had been adopted
the salaries would have been the same but if the Minority
bill remains undisturbad the Judges in the country viii
receive about two thousand dollars
The Small Note bill of Mr. Kenner was taken up and
passed.
The Registry Law was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee
In the Senate nothing of any importance was done
In both Houses great many members were absent
The Governor has signed number Of bills bu. they
were all Of local character his Exceoncy this
morning for the FIRST time lie is looking weak and thin
still but he has lost all evidences OF disease arl Will
trust, be soon in the enjoyment of his health Ills
in reference to the removal Of Mr. Witt has been
severely ccnsusd by number Of the democrats here Lu
has also been warmly approved Of by great many 1t
that he wishes 70 appoint office only such r
eau by Of uniuounbered property guarantee
the State against Losses This amounts to pretty
restriction, and Inconsistencies will be made But his
years and his education will make him impatient su-
gostions ana oppositious ana they will only make him
more headstrong 10 the pursuit of his own course
