Leaving in the United States a total Of I9 d
Sequsstra'iOn in Louisiana.


There has been good deal Of talk about the con
fscatisn bill; very just and proper one to meet
the r0bberes Of Lincoln. Seward Chase & Co There
are many fine stores on Camp, Canal ami POydras
streets, which must cCme within the meaning and
intent OF the law The great front store
of Camp and Common, will come within the law;
stores corner Of Bank Place and Gravier; stores
corner of Poydras and Camp; stores corner Of
Canal and Chartres the ine block. corner of Royal
and Bienville known as Romance ". MOntgonerys;
the large warehouse on Fulton and Front Levee
streets There will be some hardships in some
cases For instance. the owner Of Of the valua-
bic corners on Chartres and Canal streets resided
IN our city from 1878 TO 1885. carrying his bush
ness grocer, though he never spent over two
summers in the city, the others he passed IN New
Jersey and other places. For over twenty years he
has ceased to be citizen of New Orleans. He has
a son who, we believe, was born here and educated
North but who has resided here for many years.
He is now fighting for the South. being member Of
the Washington Artillery. As the party alluded to
he seniOr) is pretty well advanced In life, il might
not be out Of place to suggest TO him
to divide his property anterior to his be-
ing called hence, that the 500, who IS now
engaged and identified with the glorious cause Of
the South may secure his share. There is also
resident Of OOklyn Y formerly distinguish
ed lawyer Of Attakspas, who owns two valuable
plsntaIiOns sugar. It will also 90 hard with
him. He removed from Louisiana many years
ago As the South did not cast the first stone, there
cannot be any expected relief for those who have lg
nored the South for years and drawn large sgDs Of
money from its great stOFehOuses Of wealth and
riches. True. the present state Of affairs may be
and is without precedent. But the stern ard un~
bending demands Of justice and ret liation raqsre
the course Indicated by the act of the Confederate
Congress to be carried out to the fullest extent and
our own citizens who have suffered BY the illegal
and vile acts Of the Lincoln, Seward Co. dynasty,
be remunerated from the proceeds of the cOnfiscat
ed property As this act is retrospective, taking
effect from the 2lst of May last it may call into
question the rents paid by tenants since that date;
therefore, tenants and hirers Of property which IS
liable to eonfscatiOn will do well TO psy into the
Confederated Treasury hereafter. No suits can be
instituted in our courts for residents in our enc
mics dominiOns. Now, Messiurs Tenants, you can
either pay your rents or let it 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.
