p67-The New Orleans Times has
resumed publication. By, and
during suspension the paper passed
out of the control of those who pre-
viously ran it. It is now published
in the interest Of the relict of the
late Mr.. King. The policy on which
it is announced that the paper will
be conducted is satisfactory and il
adhered to will not fail to place
tho Times in a very respectable po-
sition among Southern journals.
The old Times fearful]y abused the
liberty of the Press We believe
with Junius that "The liberty Of the
Press is the palladium of all the
social. civil and political rights of
freemen," but when the vast powers
of SO mighty an engine are prosti-
tuted to spiteful personal detrac-
ton, wanton and reckless vili6ca-
tion and SANDER we cannot but be
glad at any reasonable occurrence
that checks the indulgence in such
license. For this reason we were
not disposed to quarrel when an
extinguisher was applied to the
Times.
The tone Of the first copy of the
reissue promises an abandonment
of SO reprehensible a course, while
it claims justly the right to scru-
tinize deeply and to c~riticise fully
NIL the acts Of public men. In this.
we most heartily agree with the
Times, and if it will only abstain
from indiscriminate wholesale de-
nunciation Of everybody and every
thing not in political accord with
itself, because they are nottso, and
not perpetually and preposterously
abuse carpet-baggggers and negroes
sat all times and under oil circum-
stances" there is no doubt that the
Times would acquire and retain the
respect and support of numbers of
persons, in and out Of Louisiana,
who. admire and applaud the enter
prize, energy and ability with which
that paper has been conducted.
We have reason to hope that to
some appreciable extent this con-
summation will be realized under
the new management OF the paper,
and with. this hope, we are glad to
welcome the Times back to the field
Of active labor and usefulness, al
though in political hostility to M.

LEGAL ADVERTISING AT A DIS
COUNT IN THE SENATE.

We are certainly, surprised at the
action of the Senate !, regarding
Cassidy's bill for the publication
of notices of Sheriff's sales. The
oft quoted instances Of hardship
arising from the lack Of such pro-
vision of law ought to be argument
enough in itself to secure the pas
sage of the bill. Moreover; putting
the question upon our own selfish
grounds and stating frankly our first
actuating motive in the matter. we
protest against the parsimony which
the Legislatures of this State have
chosen to put in popular exercise
against the press. There is hardly
a legitimate business in this State
which pays so poor returns for the
money invested as the business OF
journalism; while. at the same time,
proportional to the field which they
work and the encouragement they
get, there are no more enterprising
newspapers anywhere than here in
Nevada. And yet this State stands
almost alone in Withholding from
the litigant and the newspaper the
rights and patronage of legal adver
tisements arising from writs of exc
cution and orders of sale. The Sen
ate will do wise and liberal thing
if it reconsiders it's action and passes
this bill.
