THE CITY-HALL.

A delegation of tailors visited.the Mayor
and Administrators, yesterday. for the pur
pose Of protesting against the proposed
license ordinance, particularly as it will
affect their doing small business withou
capital.
Administrators Cockrem, Shaw, Delas-
size, Walton and Lewis were present at the
interview
Mr.. Richard Hummel, residing at No. 3
Annunciation street, made a speech and
presented the following protest, which was
signed by about three hundred citizens
We, the undersigned, citizens of New Or
leans, assembled at the Turnhalle, in mass
meeting. do solemnly protest against the
proposition of taxing free labor, and es-
pecially against the license ordinance to be
passed at the next regular meeting of the
Council, levying on the poor mechanics and
tradesmen an additional tax, in strict vio-
lation of the constitution Of the United
States, which forbids the taxation Of free
labor; and we respectfully ask the Council
to amend the license ordinance SO far as to
exempt from taxation the small tradesmen,
who have but little or no capital, and who
are not able to suffer additional taxes.
The delegation was composed of about
twenty persons, several of whom made
speeches, detailing the grievances of the
poorer class Of taiiors.
The Mayor replied. stating in a general
way that the matters complained Of should
be brought to the notice Of the Council.
Mr.. Louis Walsh, who resides on the cor
ner Of St. Louis and Broad streets. com,
planned that he was taken before justice
of the peace and fined twenty-six dollars
for failing to show the back yard of Ills
premises.
The Mayor directed Mr.. Clark to take the
statement down, and then having stated
that there was to be a private meeting of
the Administrators, the visitors were bowed
out of the room.
