BATON ROUGE Feb. 2s.-A bill to provide for the
elsction OF paper to publish al legal
in New Orleans Was introduced in the Senate yester

revamped. v.
The tue Delta, ii ID Saturday evening edition,
comments as follows: s5&
THE aJuDrcrAn SALES BILL SwrNDLE - The
old hiquity in nesc Sharply telegraph dls
patch received this morning from Baton Rouge we
learn that the old and defeated iniqutons sWlndle,
the Judicial Sales BILL has been again introduced into
that body in new shape. The bill, which was intro
duced into the House yesterday, is one 70 provide Tor
an election, BY the Legislature, of o newspaper IN
New Orleans to publish all legal advertisements.
Col. Ryan, we learn from dispatch, is the party
entitled to the infamous notorety Of introducing this
new swindle. ~
n The True Delta IS slightly mistaken The BILL was
introduced 10 the Senate. Mr. Ryan is the Senator
from Rapides and, although a regard for justice
compels US to denounce some Of his acts, we have
always thought him q kindhearted gentleman, quite
able in point Of talent fullof generous impulses who
would not do dirty thing, except when under the
control Of baneful partisan influences as he evidently
il and has been during the present session. 4
\ Now, we have proposition to make, and We trust
it will meet with due consideration at the hands of
legislators It is this Instead Of interfering with
the private rights of individuals instead Of nict-
ing great wrong upon debtors and creditors in all
suits instead of compelling them to contribute to
the support Of monopoly that may be repugnant to
them; instead Of telling men that they shall adver.
tse their business where they don't went to advertise
their business; instead of meddling with and OBJ
structing the healthfu competition that now prevails
in the printing trade and instead Of establishing
unjust arbitrary and outrageous precedent and pre-
cedents dangerous which may be hereafter used
to advance particular butcher, baker, carpenter
printer, builder, bricklayer, manufacturer artisan
merchant follower Of any and all Of the industrial
avocations, to the prejudice Of all other tootcers o.
those arocdtons let the Legislature levy a tax o.
$50 900 per annum upon the property of this corpora
ton payable TO the proprietors Of the State gazette
That, We presume, will satisfy them, and then affairs
j win progress as usual. ",
We make this proposition deliberately and in good
faith. Although /. would be measure Of injustice
to the tax payers, still it would be far more just
equitable and proper, than the legal advertising
bill, matter in what shape it may be brought for
ward. The one would be a general wrong, but SC
difused that it would not work material harm. The
other would be confined in its operations, to certain
4 extent, and would unquestonably infict wrong dam
age, oppression and injury upon class that should
not be singled out special objects to be injured op
pressed, damaged and wronged..
By all means, accept the amendment we propose
Senator Ryan It is more just than the bill you have
offered will be more equitable in its workings; will
probably satisfy the cupdty of the proprietors of the
State paper, and will be popular with the people
Of the parish and city Of New Orleans. This latter
fact we unhesitatingy assert according tc our best
knowledge and belief, flowing from an extended field
Of observation. E.t rs
1.-THE foregoing was writtenand put in type for yes
terday paper but was with large quantity Of other
matter, original and selected, crowded out. Not.
withstanding the vast capacity of our Mondays
double sheet, it sometimes appears unequal to the
demands upon it. We shall be forced to double
sheet issue all the time if friends continue crowd
ing us as they seem disposed to do Well, come on.]
