More Fact than Fancy.

Speaking Of the statutes Of the State, and
the various attempts to revise, codify, condense
and put them in an ineligible shape, aswell as
the enormous expense that has hitherto attended
abortive endeavors in that line, the Baton Rouge
Comet, of the 4th. INDUCES in the subjoined OBJ
servations, which smack infinitely more Of fact,
than Of fancy:

satutesthat every succeeding attempt to do the work
only confounds confusion. gentleman remarked the
other night in company with several gentlemen that the
for which the State has paid the modest of $4,000
is such medley Of contradictions that that paragon

The State Printing.

This rather "fat" job seems to excite no
little concern among the prominent publishers
Of the victorious party. We don't wonder ct it.
The job is worth having. We should like to
have it ourselves, and--a fig for past antici-
pations when a pleasant present and an encour-
aging future smile promisingly before US.
The contest for the printing is assuming q
quadrangular shape. 1t is understood that the
True Delta would not object to doing the States
work, that the Delta would interpose no insur-
mountsble obstacles should the Legislature Sc
lect its propretors to execute the printing, that
the Old Courier considers its right to be the Off
cial gazette of the commonwealth as imprescript-
ible, and the Baton Rouge Advocate of the Sd
puts in its oar in the following convincing
style:
The STATE PRIsr,Ne of the duties required of the
next Legislature will be the election Of State Printer to
execute the work of the State for the next two
come. That there ill be many asprants for the place.
all past elections for this office leave doubt
and among the multiplicity of candidates and from the
complexion Of the two Houses the probability of who will
be the successful is matter wherein conjecture fails
to enghten the anxious public.
Without wishing prejudice the claims Of esteemed
contemporaries Of New Orleans, nearly all of whom
eye of both PARTIES DESTROYS that said claims should
be csnyassed before the Legislature submit whether
be right that the public printing should be executed
elsewhere than the Seat Of Government whatever party
journal may be the choice Of the two Houses The in
convenience to the least Of having the work for the
State done in New Orleans has been fully demonstrated
during the past two years and we do not believe for
moment, that General Assembly will far disregard
the interests of the public again try the experiment
Section Of the law this subject, passed at the last
session of the Legislature sys 1.-The journals of each
day of both Houses shall be printed n the State paper
,rihn ro days after tie has BEEN rerd and approeed
under the penalty of twenty five dollars fc each failure"
That it is utterly mpraccable for this section Of the law
be complied with by the contractor unless he have his
printing msters in Baton Rouge, is proposition
papable for Discus ION equally of the bs and
utions most of which required to be printed and laid
the desks of the members the morning after their read

originated feat, presume, that would be at
tempted by any Of the city journals however enterprisng
andiudefatgable they may hatter themselves to be.

GIGANTIC PRoposITroN.-At q meeting of the
Pittsburgh Board Of Trade, gentleman sub
mitted a proposition on the subject of improving
the Ohio river, by converting it into slack
water canal. The suggestions we're unanimously
approved by the Board. and were earnestly re-
commended to public consideration. The dis
lance from Pittsburgh to the mouth of the Ohio
is nine hundred and seventy.seven miles, with
an aggregate fall Of four hundred and twenty
five feet. 1t is assumed that to convert the en-
tire river into slack water would require only
fifty locks, of an average lift Of eight and half
feet, which would create pools of an aggregate
length Of one hundred and thirty two miles,
The average cost Of the work is from seven to
ten thousand dollars per mile, which is supposed
to be about half the expense Of an ordinary ca
nal, or about one-third the average cost Of s
railroad
