There is no more popular way Of

an opportunity when there is bare
quorum, and perhaps packed minor
ity that cannot be injured in their es-
tate by the 'passase.' The modern
Statesman, has ever revised edition,
of the rnral code in his pocket, and
regulates his conduct thereby. It is
not unfrequen1y the case, that he finds
himself on both sides fthe same dues

consideration he vaciliates between two
points in very praisworthy and pro-
fitable manner. LIE tttay, or be may

State requires but of one thing he is
pretty well posted, and that is that he
has been elected by his party for his
own pecuniary benefit as a reward for

quired at Alexandria in checking the
number Of boxes which forms the In.

Arabs who take charge ofthe mails in
that country have an unique and un.
erring method Of keeping an account
Of the number Of boxes, and which is
done by string Of beads as each box

Yesterday morning M. Kiso, d
New Orleans, reported, as Chairman
Of a special ccmmitte appointed for
that purpose, a bill fatniliarly known
to our readers as MoCay's "Judicial
Sales Bill" The committee had hiade
n small amendment tt Che bill by IN
serting the words, "ininors, intetaic-
ted petsofts and absenteesf y That is,
a1l sales made Under any order OF de-
cree Of any Court in tie Parish Of

whether Of succession property, or
otherwise, IN which "ifinor's interdiot-
cd persons or absentees," are interest
ed, must and shall be made BY The
Sheriff Of the Parish Of Orleans, and
by no other patty
The Sheriff wants no greater tnonopi
oily than this amended bill gives him.
Il gives him full control over the sales
rendered under ordinary Judgments,
and really, to all successions, for we
would like to know ifevet d large es-
taste was wound up in Louisiana, in
in whicl there were not miuors and
absentees interested I We do not
believea case can be found, nor is il
likely one ever will be-
We understand there was gross dis
courtesy practiced in the making of
this report. 1t was well known 10 the
chairman Of this committe, that Mr.
Kenner had left on Thursday evening
after dark, aud that ho would not return
until Monday. Yet ON Friday the
committee got together, and made up
the report to which we have referred
It would probably have boea presented

Mr. ksnner properly represented
these facts TO the Senate, and the bill
was promptly recomitted to the same
committee. In this the Senate acted
with justice and discrimination, admin
istering at the same time, the seyerest
sort Of a rebuke to unmitigated char.
|atanism.
Although we are not Immediately
Interested in the defeat Of this meas-
ire, still We hope il will be reprobated
