THE ''sOAP AND CANDLE BILL"
The House resumed the consideration Of the
bill 10 incorporate the Metropolitan soap and
candle manufacturing company, in the city OF
Richmond.
Mr.. Stanard addressed the House at consider
able length, in opposition to the bill, reierating
the objections which he had before urged, when
the bill was last under considerations and con-
tending that its provisions by granting what he
regarded as exclusive rights and privileges
violated of the bill Of rights. Mr. s., defended
the City Council, deliberately, from the charge of
having been actuated by party considerations in
revoking the license to Mr.. McAdan, TO carry ON
the soap aud candle business within the limits OF
this city.
Mr.. Lee. of Orange and Green, replied briefly
to the arguments of Mr. Stanard. He repeated
his belief that Mr.. McA., had been made the vic.
tim of party persecution. beinga Catholic and
foreigner. he had refused to affiliate with the A
mercan party; and oontended that the object of
the bill was simply to give Mr. McA., the bene
fit of trial by jury, if hereafter, his establish
ment should be presented Us nuisance.
Mr.. Mallory stated several objections to the
bill. 1t should establish dangerous precedent
by removing from the councils, who have always
in every incorporated town had sanitary regula-
tons within their control, that power to abate
nuisances which was essential to the health and
comfort of every community.
