THE SEQUEsTRATIoN ACr.-The n. Orleans
Crescent says:
There has been a good deal of talk about
the Confscation Bill; very just aud proper
one to meet the robberies of Lincoln, Seward,
Chase & Co. There are many fine stores on
Camp, Canal and Poydras streets, which
must come within the meaning and intent of
the law. The great iron front store, corner
of Camp aid Common, will come within the
law; stores corner of Bank Place and Ora
vier; stores corner of Poydras and Camp;
stores corner of Canal and Charities; the fine
block corner of Royal and Bienville, known
as Romance w. Montgomery's; the large
warehouse ON Fulton and Front Leyee SITS.
There will be some hardships in some cases.
For instance, the owner of one of the valU-
able corners on Charities and Canal Streets,
resided in our city from 1918 to 1885, carry
ing on business as a grocer, though be never
spent over two summers in the city, the 9TH
ers he passed in New Jersey and other places.
For over twenty years he has ceased to be
citizen of New Orleans. He has con who,
we believe, was born here and educated
North, but who has resided here for many
years. He is now fighting for the South, be-
ing member of the Washington Artillery.
As the party alluded to (the senior) is pretty
well advanced in life, it might not be out of
place to suggest to him to divide his property
anterior to his being called hence, that the
son, who is now engaged and identified with
the glorious cause of the South, may secure
his share. There is also a resident of Brook
Ign, N. Y, formerly distinguished lawyer
of Attakapas, who owns two valuable plan
tations-one sugar. Ii will also go hard with
him. He removed from Louisiana many
years ago. As the South did not cast the first
stone, there cannot be expected any relief for
those who have Ignored the South for years,
and drawn large sums of money from its
great storehousesof wealth and riches. True,
the present state of affairs may be and is
without precedent. But the stern and un-
bending demands of justice and retaliation
require the course indicated by the Act of
the Confederated Congress to be carried out
to the fullest extent, aud our own citizens
who have suffered by the illegal and vile acts
of the Lincoln, Seward d Co. dynasty, be re-
remunerated from the proceeds of the confis-
Gated property. As the act is retrospective,
taking effecr from the first of May last, it
may call into question the rents paid by ten
ants since that date; therefore, tenants and
birers of property which is liable to confisca-
ton, will do we'll to pay into the Confeder-
ated Treasury hereafter. No suits can be In
stituted in our courts for residents In our en-
mics dominioas. Now, Messieurs Tenants,
you can either pay your rents Or let 1t alone;
but If you pay them now, with the law before
you, you may have to pay them over again.
We talk to you for your own advantage.
According 10 law. there will be subject to
confiscation:
Seven thousand shares ts7oo,oOo) Canal
Bank.
Three thousand shares ($soo, ooo) Bank Of
Louisiana Stock.
Twelve hundred shares Southern Bank.
Some few shares Of Cilixens' and Stats
Banks, also some few hundred shares Gas
