the community that permits them. Sugar,
cotton, corn, pork, molasses, rice and
nearly all other products are freely sold IN
this market on terms mutually agreed
upon by buyers and sellers. We
have not heard of any reason
why an exception should be made
against tobacco or any other single
commodity. It should be borne in mind
that the tobacco trade. more perhaps
than any other, is in the hands of experts.
The buyers as well as the sellers are skill
full judges. and thus far they seem to
have got along we'll enough together
without either asking for State protection
or interference. We have heard Of no pc.
titions on the subject; there has been no
discussion in the newspapers, no action
in the ward clubs. and no movement OF
any kind to denote the want Of an act
which will result in adding a few more
officers to the patronage of the executive.
and take few more hcgsheads Of tobacco
by way Of toll from an already feeble
trade. Unless there be better reasons for
this bill than this, let US not add another
difficulty to the many that are unavold-
able. and which now operate agaius: the
trade Of this city.

THE MANAGEMENT OF TEE INSANE
ASYLUM.

AS1IUMs
We have received copy of the bill re-
Gently introduced III the House by Mr..
Gair, and have heard from the honorable
gentleman himself some Of the reasons
which. in his opinion and ours. sustain
the propriety Of amending the law to es-
tablish the Insane Asylum. The asylum
is State institution, intended for the
benefit Of all sections. The board OF its
administrators should be selected with
view to give the greatest efficiency to the
interests intended to be promoted. This,
it is said, and with force, can not be done
by making the selections local as has been
heretofore done. as required by the exist
ing law. Among other objections to Sc
lec.ing all the members of the board from
the immediate vicinity of the asylum are
the danger Of speculation and the loss Of
the advantage to be derived from the iu-
.ershanse Of ideas which would be likely
to be secured by selecting members from
various localities. Mr.. Gair's bill pro-
vides that th. board shall be composed Of
six members. one 70 be selected from East
Feliciana, one from West Feliciana and
four from Orleans. The two members
from the Felicianas shall compose the ex-
ecutiye committee It is made the duty
of the committee TO visit the institution
frequently. but no: less than twice
month. and to :epor: to the president.
who will be selected from the members
res:den: in New Orleans. The president
may cal, meetings Of the beard whenever
he shall deem it necessary. and any :our
members Of tie board shalt constitute q
quorum. The members o: the board
shall hold their Office for four years.
Such are the leading provisions Of the
proposed amendment. I: provides 2 rem.
ely for abuse; and evils il the manage
men: of the Insane Asylum. OF which we
have heard much complaint. and secures
what we consider desirable eaturc-per-
nanoncy IN the government. y change
il an institution Of the kind should only
be made when the hes: interests 0: the
same require it. \. presen: the board is
changed every two years. and with j: the
executive a:.d subordinate o.-l!csrs ~! en-
ployes.
It will be seen that it IS proposed TO Sc
lect a majority Of the board from, New
Orleans. Two reasons are specially as
signed for this step-1. The city now pays
about tive-eighths Of the entire expenses
Of Supporting the asylum; 2. To have
sufficient influence at the seat of govern
ment to secure the prompt attention to
the wants Of the institution. st . .ecen:

MIR. TURNBULL'S CARD.

The Administrator of Commerce has re-.
piled in a card to the public to the speech
Of DR.. v. 0. King. delivered in the House
the other day. We can not see that the
views of either Of the gentlemen throw
much light upon the main question. The
one should remember that great princi-
pie is not effected either way by the mo-
tives Of those who uphold it. Hence it
can make no difference to the gentlemen
who have the matter under consideration
whether Mr.. Turnbull will prof: by its
adoption either in his administrative
capacity or as a private citizen. The
question for DR.. King and his fellow
members to solve is. do the interests Of
their constituents demand that they shall
hamper the retail business OF this city
by unnecessary prohibitions. On the
other hand, we apprehend the Admins
traitor mistakes the purport Of the re-
marks OF the Representative, and con-
strues as directed TO himself personally
what was only intended for his official
conduct.
We have seen no reason to change the
views heretofore expressed by US on this
subject, though We may give representa-
tive Of the city government credit for sin.
cerity and proper motives in asking for
the prohibition which We deem detrimen.

OBLIGATORY SERVICES AT THE SECOND
BAPTIST CHURCH.

A very large congregation met III this
| building on Sunday morning, and still
larger one in the evening, to participate
in these services, made appropriate by the
opening of the new audience room, which
| has just been finished at considerable ex-
pense. Any one who remembers the I'M
inviting appearance of the old room can
not but heartily congratulate the society
| upon the improvement, and commend the
zeal and enterprise by which it has been
achieved. Beauty and convenience have
alike been consulted in the present room.
and the result is all that could be desired.
A new and elegant organ has likewise been
added to the attractions Of the church.
and the society are justified in feeling con-
siderable self-gratulation at their success.
and in calling upon the friends of Chris
tan progress in material matters in
separable, as the world goes. from spiritual
ones-to rejoice with them.
The music. prayers and reading
were all interesting and appropriate; but
to the outsider the sermon is often the
main attraction. On this occasion it was
excellent. The pastor. DR.. Taylor. was
happy in the selection Of his text. and
most happy in the Treatment. Of his SUBJ
ject. the power Of feeble means when ami
mated by . lively faith TO accomplish

the discourse, calling attention TO the
work which had been accomplished by the
society within the last three years. was
characterized by tina: modesty which is
the usual accompaniment to true merit;
while the pecuniary details and appeals
for aid necessitated by. the occasion We're
in the best possible taste. They were. we
understand. generously responded to.
In the evening the congregation was adj
