The ORDINANCE FOR THE SALE OF THE STALLS
OF TIE CRY MARKErs.-This ordinance. as will
be seen by the proceedings Of the City Council,
IN this mornings CRESCENT passed both boards

beyond doubt Immediately receive the signature

feature which are subject to comment and must
| have been the esult Of omission on the part Of
| the trainers Of the ordinance. The ordinance
says tbattbe sale shall be for ten yearsone half pay
able cash In city notes, and for the balance the
purchaser shall give his note. bearing per cent.
interest per annum, payable eighteen months

may involve litigation TO no little extent, unless
| the currency in which the payment shall be made
is determined before the sales are Effected Itmay
be justly argued that the bestlegal tender which
debtor can Offer to his creditor Is the atter's own
| note. and therefore the city of New Orleans
| would be in duty bound TO receive its own cur.
rency'for the payment of the notes given by the
| purchasers of the stalls. But the ordinance, BY
providing for the subrogstion of the rights and
privileges of the city TO parties to whom these
notes may at any time be transferred or con
veyed," leads us to believe that there exists a
probability of their being thrown upon the
market. .s
The purchasers OF these notes win not occupy
the same position the city, and can justly claim
from the drawers that they shall be paid In legal
tender notes Of the United States. Something,
therefore, it would seem, should be done towards
defining in what kind Of money these notes are TO
be paid. This action would remove all doubt In
the minds of the people and facilitate the sale Of
the stalls as provided for by the ordinance.
