% By reference it will be seen

for Justice Of the peace in Ward No.
/. Mr.. Sans is too we'll known to the
community to need ''fullsome adula.
ton" at our hand. He is an afible
and courteous gentleman, and from
the..fact Of his living III this community
the full measure of his life without
getting into difficulty, we take it for
granted that he will make a good JUS
tice. Opponents urge that he has
mot studied law" we grant that he
has not acasted much oil in this way,
but this is the most powerful argu-
ment in his favor. 1t is proverbial
that law and justice in these latter
days are two different things--one is
the antipodes of the other. We urge
upou our fellow citizens of the first
Ward the importance of selecting
man to judge over them, who will not
permit the musty tones of Puffendarf,
Perrywinkle, and Peltia, to weigh
down the scales of Justice-such a
man is Mr.. Franklin Benjamin Sans.

New ORLEANS April 9Th 1853

Dear Comet arrived in this
city on yesterday by the good steamer
Bella Donna lind the streets de-
serted and the city dull, even the pla-
ces of amusement although somewhat
crowded.. have lost that gay and ele-
giant appearance that characterized
them when in full season. The great
stars have gone, and now the lesser
lights are shining most sickly indeed
The tallow candles, the greasy roper,
the faded scenery and seedy yesture,
all plainly indicate that the histronic
orb is fast paling before coming sum-
mers heat.
Last evening l took the rounds t9e
place l procured ticket and went to
the Odd Fellows Hail to hear the Gel
ebrated Thomos Francis Meagher, the
great Irish Lecturer, Orator and pa.
triot. | must confess that was some
what disappointed in his person, man
ners, and eloquence He is a tall
stately looking parsonage, but l do not
consider him eloquent. His language
however is good and his ideas appear
to be well conceived. l thought his
lecture much injured by his abuse of
Geeat Britannia doubt he feels Deep
ly indignant at the wrongs inflicted on
him, but still it is in bad taste to make
ones OVID grievances the burden of the
story. England is a great country
notwithstanding her many errors, and
l am not one OF those who join in the
somewhat fashionable mania of abusing
every thing British. Meagher is no
doubt learned, educated man, whose
misfortunes have made him MANY
sympathizers. From the lecture, I
went around to hear the celebrated L.
Moreace Gottchalk-the great Plan
mist. He is truly a genius, and |
think is deservedly ranked the best
Pianist in America or perhaps the
world. His touches are most brilliant
and his notes perfection itself. Il
wish every lover Of music could hear
one of his favorite waltzes-Methinks
the old Puritan and the blue stocking
would shake off the moral icicles that
hang around their souls, and join in
he may dance at Gottchalks delicious
touches.
Although the city is dull, there are
some distinguished strangers sojourn-
NO here. Mr.. Crittenden is here, l
lad the honor Of being presented to
lin Today. He looks in fine health
With an erect from and flashing eye,
lie is a fine specemin Of an American
gentleman. Col. McCling is also here
-rumor says he will take charge Of
,aper in this city. l find him noble
,earted gallant fellow, with a warn
leaft and liberal hand. We've had
ONE glorious times together. Meagh-
r and Gottchalk are here, with sun
ry Presidents Of Rail Roads &C., and
ast and not least an humble ind1vidu-
is here, known in your neighborhood

St. JOseph's.

1t grieves US to see our old friend
the steeple of Joseph's who has looked
camly. quietly, and dispassionately on
the affairs of men in church street for
q number of years, at length showing
his Ribs again to the sunlight. If
we may be allowed to say SO, we re-
greet that the growing wants of the
church render it necessary that he
should be removed to give place to
something more extended.
We have strange affection for the
steeple of St. Joseph's, and regret
that he must now be torn away from
US. He has often and again pointed
with bis unerring hands by night and
by day, and told US the hour of mid.
day and the hour of midnight. j.,
He has been a warning friend BY
night and a beacon by day-ever watch
full. From early youth we have seen
vines crawl over him and now that be
has grown venerable with age it
grisves US to part with him.

study Of the Law.

study Of the Law.
Heretofore in almost every State in
the Union, the members Of the Bar (as
licensed Lawyers are cAlled) have been
obliged to 60 through long course OF
preparatory studies before they are al
lowed to practice in the higher Courts
Of the Judiciary. 1t is no doubt right
and proper that such persons as aspire
to high attainments in the legal pro-
fession. should make the Laws con.
slant study and the rules Of our courts
a faithful practice, in order to fit them
selves for proper discharge Of their
duties in that particular calling; but
our courts should be open to all per-
sons who desire to conduct their own
cases or interests therein. There is
no good reason why a man In th's
country, where the laws are made by
and for the people, instead Of the peo-
pie being made by and for the L0'o'
should not if he choose to do SO, 60 into
our courts and manage his matters
himself. If he be incompetent, ignor-
ant and unqualified to carry his own
case the loss or failure interest him
alone while there are many private
individual whose extensive reading and
whose native talent pre-eminently tit
them to conduct the most intricate
suits before our courts of justice and
equity. Without at all disparaglng
the claims to legal lore and competency
Of the many gentlemen members Of the
bar Of Louisiana, still we believe it
would have beneficial effect, if the
magic circle now thrown around the
profession by our laws, was torn down,
and cur citizens without distinction
were permitted to exercise their own
judgment as to procuring counsel or
conducting their own matters at law.
A bill is now before the Legislature
which we hope will past provides
that any person of good moral char
acter, who deems himself qualified to
do 50, may conduct any case at law,
either as counsel for himself or for
others. We believe this law will have
on rfen ,a8ast..S ;'pp et 6sft il vii ill
midst, whose only talents consist in
making the law more obscure to the
minds of juries than it is to themselves
and live off Of the gullibility of honest
citizens, and second it will develope a
wider range of legal knowledge among
our citizens generally and give a better
support to the really talented jurists
who make the law their study as well
as their profession.
