SOAP AND CANDLE FACTORY.
The House took up the order Of the day upon
the bill Incorporating the Metropolitan Soap and
Candle Mandatory Of the city of Richmond
The question being on the passage of the BILL
Mr.. STANARD addressed the House, reterating
| arguments against it presented by him when the
bill was last up, and repeated now he said for the
information of those who were not in the House
at that time. He caused to be read the petitions
to the Council and the action ofthat body ON the COM
plsint that Mr.. McAdams factory was q nuisance
| He added to the facts, he formerly alleged that Mr.
| Farrow of the st. Charles Hotel, who was chiefly
active in getting signatures to the petition for the
abatement of Mr.. Meas factory as q nuisance was
| . thorough going Democrat and that some thirty of
| the signers were Democrats, utterly precludirg,
eontendcd Mr. STANARD, all idea that the proceed
ing was one of political or party persecution Mr..
s. argued in conclusion that the incorporation of
| company to manufacture soap and candles without
/ let or hindranee from the council of Richmond,
| was not only in effect to repeal the charter of
Richmond. but to annul the general law Of the
! State, which gave the council or board of cities
| and towns the authority to "abate nuissnccs'-
He described the difficulties and delays In the pro.
| ceeding before jury, which was the form pre-
| scrbed in the bill for ascertaining whether the
establishment it Incorporated was nuisance
During these delays however intocrabie the nui-
sance, it could not be abated. Mr. STANARD fur
ther contended that the bill proposed to violate the
Constitution by comforting exclusive privileges on
/ individuals, which that instrument prohibited;
| privileges that were unusual, and not accorded 10
others-that it violated the Constitution by inter
fering with vested rights, establishing nuisance
In opposition to the City authorities and to the In
| iury of private property. He concluded with an
snneal 10 the House not to pass bill which pro-
| uosed such an outrage upon the powers conferred
mon the city, and upon the rights and interests Of
NJ I'rr followed Mr. STAEaRD in reply, con
tending that It was party feeling and prescription
which had interdicted the factory OF Mr. McAdam
He made no attack on she FesPectabiity or tnteg
rity Of the Council Of the city OF Richmond. JIG
had no doubt that they were worthy gentemen, bu'
,hay hsd nermitfed them mselves to be carried away
by The ea acitemsnt OF the day, and TO become pre-
JUDGED against Mr.. McAdam in such msnne, a Ia =
that their judgments were warped and they had
dealt unequally and upjustly win nim. hs -. ~
sumed that from all he had heard, either one o. ins
| four other Candle and Soap Factories In the city
were more offensive than Mr.. McAdams ana tna soy:
as no step had been taken to abate them as nul
sauces. 1t was plainly an evidence Of iasor''lsn
| towards them, all OF which were owned py Aho"
Nothings He argued further tkat tie fact ina
i Mr. MeAdams' establishment bad been tolerate'
for SO many years was proof that Il was pol .n'
intoierable nuisance represented--and that II tnes
others, 50 much more obnoxious 10 the charge Of oe
Ing uuisances, were 10 be allowed 70 remain unti
they too burned down, 1t would appear sither INA
