bill for the parish of Orleans which was killed in the
Senate by tie vote, after passing the House by a
small majority, is generally and justly denounced on
all hands. This is not to be wondered at, for the bill
proposed outrageous and intolerable interference
with the private business and nalienable rights of
the citizen, besides creating monopoly of the most
inexcusable character. ..
The Merdional is strong Democratic paper, and
is published in the town of Abbevie, parish Of Yer
million. We mention this fact to show the political
status of the quotation we about to make. From
letter written by its special Baton Rouge cores
pondent, who represents that intensely Democratic
parish in the Legislature, if we are not much mis-
taken we take the annexed extract The letter bears
date 3lst ult., and we quote as follows:
Yesterday, the House passed bill, which your
humble servant sets down as most niquitous, out
rageous and reprehensble. Sorry am to say, too,
that it came from Democratic author, and found
favor in the eyes of not few Democrats The bill is
to compel all judicial advertisements in the city of
New Orleans to be published in the State paper. Sue
cesson advertisements, every thing must by this bill
go into the hands of political and party pet. How
to monopoly and the preservation to the citizens OF
the largest personal liberty and right it puzzles
to divine. OF course, the Louisiana Courier is, will
be, if the Senate in the bill, the favored me
dum of all this immense printing, and the recipient
| of the mighty patronage it will bring. But care
not for that It is Wrong-a fragrant violation OF just
and correct principle-and though it does give sup
| port to own party paper, it is an act would
| scorn to do, regarding friend or foe.

speculation in regard to the cotton crop of the United

prize of beautiful slver teaset, worth three hundred

RATHER ToUGHIsH.-A correspondent of Por-
ters Spirit, writing from Cleveland, Ohio declares
that large dry goods establishment was burned
down in that city, when one of the large fire-sate
manufacturers OF New York, who knew they had
of their articles in the building, wrote and
requested the propretors of the store to state how
their safe withstood the confagration. The answer
was as follows
Gentlemen, your safes are wonderful. Nothing
can surpass them for protecting books and papers,
though they have some unfortunate opposite effects
One OF our clerks on Saturday bought a Shanghai
keeping in the safe. That night our establishment
was destroyed by fire, and the safe and its contents
were exposed to a tremendous heat for thirty-siH
hours, at the end Of which time it was hoisted out
red hot AS soon as possible it was opened, and
you may judge of our surprise, when we found the
Shanghai rooster leaning against the ledger trozer
