sers, to be- special emergency
and has proved to bc u costly abor-
ton. The sooner IL is put out of
the way, the better, and New Or
leans will not be dissatisfied. No
body here. that we know OF, wants
il continued. If this be one Of the
local favors for which New Orleans
is discrcditcd-by all means let'it
be taken back. We did not ask
far it, nor did our representatives
vote for IL and we don't want 1t.
Wipe that out of tho account, as
soon as you please, and we shall
think you are removing anAinlllG-
ito. not concclling n benefit.
You are indebted TO tho late
magnanimous democratic party for
that measure, aud an appropriation
will be found in the general APP
preparation bill this season to keep
il up. This is only n small matter
Of $4,000 per annum. On the
matter of criminal expenses, the
same paper says :
The expenses of criminal prose-
BUTTONS. throughout the State, are
borne by the State, in all other
parishes, as in the parish OF New
Orleans. This is by no special"
favor II h by an act of general
legislation, passed for general pur-
poses, and if the expenses in New
Orleans arc heavier, there are no
good reasons why this city should
bc taxed for arrcstipg, trying, pun
ishing and keeping all the rogues
that come here from all pats OF
creation.
It is just as the paper says. The
city of New Orleans Is entitled to
a large share, but not al. Of the
$4,000 appropriated under the
act of 81 New Orleans has had
over throo-fourths. We have some
few roguos in the the country, and
thev have TO be cared for as well
M the city rogucs. The close
proximity of the capital to the city
and tho fact, that the Attorney
General resides there, gives that
place q profitable advantage ovel
the country. The extrcmitics o
the State never could keep pace
with the various decisions on the
act Of 81, whereas the city with 1T
superior sagacity has anticipated
them. For tho Public Schools o
the Crescent, We feel a just pride
to the people of the State at larg'
they are worth more than all he
other public institutions combined
We have not a word Of complain
TO make, because il requires a larg
amount from the Public Schoo
Funds to support them, becaus
the city herself contributes libei
ally but what are denominated
the Charitable Institutions, we thin
might very well be called by som
other name. The large appropri'
tions of money made at the expcns
of the common tax payers OF tn
State, to keep them up are onl
passingly alluded to, in order
show what kind of influences nj
brought to bear to obtain them
