THE IAW--lt IS well understood
that when man dies-whether he
leaves unpaid debts or not, his estate
must go into court out Of which it
does not come, until the officers and
ministers of law, have taken
upon the principle Of obstruction
"toll" Should the defunct leave
q will, it is generally pronounced
informal and falacious; and the
heirs have per force to remain quiet,
until the " laws delay" is over with
There can be found statute to
justify any manner of proceeding /;
and the difference in lawyers depends
in the sportsman's quality Of hunting
it up. The following very funny
act of the Legislature, we find going
about and some of the press gang
have put much stress upon it. The
act delegates right, which nobody,
ever called in question; and is one
Of the many evidences Of the exceed.
ing lightness of much of the light lit
erature of law making,
SEQ. 2. BE it further enacted, &c.
That when there are too or more
newspapers published in the Parish
where such proceedings are had, or
such sale is to be made, the Defen-
dent in the judicial process shall have
the RIGHT Of selecting the newspapers
in whioh said advertisement is to be
made; Provided said selection be
made within three days after the
notice Of such proceedings, or the
seizure made under said process; and
if the DEPENDENT neglect to select,
then the plaintiff shall have the right
to do so.
The public at large, are no doubt
under many obligations to the law
makers of this law, because it leaves
them the clear right, to patronize the
political paper, having their own pc
ouliar bias of mind.

sfren, men who will assert their free

driver The oath starts out thus:
II deliberately and solemnly pledge
my honor as a man and as an Ameri-
can citizen, that ! will not vote for
any candidate for any office Of honor,
trust, OF emolument, in which he can
give c6icial opposition to the suppress
sion of the traffic in intoxicating IL
quors by Legislative enactment, believ-
ing him to be opposed to such mode
Of suppression. y
To entirely abolish the traffic in in
toxlcating drinks, is an impossibiity,
it cannot be done by any form Of le-
gislative enactment. The temperance
question resolves itself into this
"Shall the selling Of liquor be regula-
ted with, or carried on without IL

its sale and use, have proved abortions,
it is high time for temperance advo-
Gates, to sober down on the subject,
and Support practicable and feasible
laws on the subject. Laws that may
be enforced without resort to arms,
and without interfering with personal
liberty.
DEATH OF A DAUGHTER OF LAFAY.

There is no reason to suppose the

At the same time it is proper to state
that The generals health is not one of

constrained to relax the severity of the
rule above quoted and notice the same.
1t is true, that the paper comes out
with clear face, and confesses to adj
vocatc tho interest of tho publishers,
and this might be urged as an objec-
ton to it. But what is the fact? Why,
it has large counterpin contemporaries
all about \, that pretend to be max
ing daily and hourly sacrifices for the
dear people +; in all ofwhich sacrifices,
there is noticeable, a judicious sprink-
ling in of their own interest. Hence
it is, that Sherman Il Co, are honest,

want relief from blowing their own

we will discourse the best music we
have for them. y
The advertiser says: it will not

Pleasant McWiggins or George Law,
but goes in for man of the name Of

makes the following chaste poetry on

The New York correspondent of
the Baltimore american says that
Mayor Wood is about to forbid any
Captain of Police from attaching
himself to any political organization
whatever. This is a good move, and
ought to extend to the entire BODY
of Police there and everywhere else.
The entire separation of the Police
from politics is imperatively called for.
Capability and integrity should be the
only considerations in the appoint
ment of policemen.
