The hesitation In yesterdays closing prices and

checked for the present sent board room bulls to

mand which set in for the Lake Shore and granger

second from Western spectators, who, now that the
crop is virtually assured. have great faith in the
value of the grangers AS part and parcel OF this as
surance learn that new wheat is coming into Chi

to the bushel. With the chance Of tho Northwestern
road earning something extraordinary In the way OF
dividends 1t is being inquired how these earnings
can be divided. By reference to the stipulation
printed upon the stock certificates 1t will be seen
that, provided that enough be earned in any ono
year. seven per cent is first to be paid to preferred
stockholders next seven per cent to common stock
holders after that three per cont to preferred and
three per cent to common stockholders and. should
there be any surplus loft. both classes of
stockholders are to share and share alike in
its division. With the cues given to the market
by Lake Shore and the grangcrs followed that the
rest Of the list must fall into line, with greater

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-16

In the State Legislature yesterday Mr..
Billieu, Of Lafourche, gave notice that he
would at an early day introduce bill to pro-
vide for the payment OF the newspapers OF the
State for printing the constitutional amend
ments voted on at the last election. The
DEMOCRAT has already called attention to the
manner In which the press was treated in this
matter, and urged that it was the duty of the
Legislature to provide some relief. Mr.. Bill
lieu's proposed bill should receive the unani-
nous support Of the Legislature. The last
General Assembly ordered this printing to be
done, and appropriated beggarly $4,000 to
pay for 1t. The cost was, at the States own
figures, about $4,000. The work was done.
and when the bills were sent In 1t was found
necessary to scale them to less than one third
In order to keep within the appropriation. A
great injustice was thus done the publishers,
and this was aggravated by the fact that they
received their percentage OF pay In depreci-
ated warrants. Mr.. Billieu proposes to cure
this injustice, and it Is to hoped that his bill,
when presented, will meet with no opposition.
1t is founded upon justice and right, and de-
serves to be adopted unanimously.

position to this tax-it has all arisen In the
past year-is now SO great as to render II
nugatory, ineffectual and worthless COM
plete failure.
It Ia needless to show that this tax Is q
delusion; that In Virginia the revenue de-
rived from 1t has decreased, month by month,
until now 1t produces even less than the old
liquor license law. The law ought to be re-
pealed. not on this ground solely, but because
1t Is unsafe, improper, tyrannical, contrary
to all Democratic institutions, contrary to
morality, since 1t invites cheating and begets
spies and informers. There is little doubt
that the Democratic members OF the Leg is
lature see this, and that they are disposed to
wipe out the Moffett register law. 1t should
be erased by the Legislature at once, SO as to
allow that body an opportunity to pass some
proper revenue law; one that would place a
good license on liquor dealers, and thus fur
nish sure and respectable revenue to the
State. AS long as the Moffett register law
remains on our statute books Ii interferes
with this without accomplishing anything.
Let our Legislature, then, as soon as possible,
repeal this law, and place instead fair
license on liquor dealers.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-16
THE MOFFETT REGISTER LAW.

The Moffett register has again come up
before our Legislature for consideration, in
the form Of bill to repeal this law and
abolish this tax. This is one of the few meas
ures that demand the immediate attention Of
the Legislature, and which should be con
sidered by that body before it adjourns. The
Moffett register law should be repealed at
once. 1t has not. it is true, ever been
enforced in this State, or is it likely ever
to be; but, whether constitutional or not,
1t is a measure that ought to be erased
from our statute books because it is alien
to our people. opposed to all our habits
and IDEAS; law that would make espi-
onage virtue and the sneaking spy and in
former hero and patriot. 1t has been evil
dent from the very first that the people of
Louisiana would not tolerate this law because
OF the mode In which this tax Is to be col
lected-a system suited perhaps to despotic
Russia, but one that cannot be carried out In
any free country. This law could never have
been enforced here. Public opinion was
against it, and no law can stand against the
people. Ii any attempt had been made to en-
force 1t, the story would have been the same
as In Virginia, where the public feeling in OPP

panies to carry on occupations contrary to
good morals. forbidden by the laws OF all en-.
lightened communities, and which deal solely
with the Vices Of human nature. Charters oil
the first kind we concede, even where granting
monopoly privileges, may convey vested
rights. But where is the man in the Legisla.
ture Of Louisiana who will venture
to arise in his seat to-day and claim
that any man or men, or any com.
pany may acquire vested right &c
conduct business that Is immoral In its
nature and a crime according to the laws Of
all countries? A Legislature, for police pur.
poses, may grant certain privileges or Iicens-
es for the conduct Of such businesses. for the
purpose OF regulating and restraining them
and bringing them under the surveillance OF
the laws. But 1t Is unmitigated wicked
ness to say that any such grants con-

society might become for generations
subject to the most criminal and vicious
classes Of the population. A corrupt Legis-
lature might grant charter to q company OF
bad women to carry on the business Of pros
titution for forty years, conditioned on the
payment OF forty thousand dollars per annum
to the Charity Hospital. II the doctrine of
vested rights, used In defense of the Lottery,
be sound, however fragrant and shameful the
evils the charter to conduct the business of
prostitution might become the benefciaries OF
corrupt legislature would be protected
against all future legislatures. and could enjoy
the profits Of their monopoly until the forty
years had expired.
Again, according to this doctrine of vested
rights, a legislature corruptly, or on mis-
taken grounds, might grant company a
charter for forty or more years to carry on
the faro bank business, and that charter
would convey vested rights which would
enable the gambling monopoly for that period
OF time to carry on their trade whatever
calamitles 1t might entail upon society.
We throw out these suggestions to
our Representatives., who will be called
