BATON RouGE, Feb. 10.-The bill introduced by
Mr.. Austin for the emancipation of the slave
George Wedderburn, of New Orleans, also, the
bill introduced by Mr. Salomon, for the emaneipa-
ton of the slave Emily Norman were both ineor-
rectly reported.
Each Of the above bills were to remove disabili-
ties of minority, and thereby enable them to be
emancipated.
1t is the disposition Of the Legislature not to pass
any bills for the emancipation of slaves These
bills are all rejected as being opposed to the set
tied policy of the State.
Many special acts have been introduced for the
emancipation of minors, for the adoption of chill
dren, and for the appointment Of Deputy Parish
Recorders. None of the bills however will preba-
bly, pass, because bills of general nature cover
ing the same grounds will be passed for the purpose
of preventing SO much legislation.
