sufficient to pay interest on certain North Lonisiana and Texas Railroad bonds and floating debt bonds, which nuivu ide rel amourt to 971.000. A ml nisi is granted and made tamable on tne 23d inst. Plaintiff, who was Assessor for the Fifth District, praya for a mandamus tooom, pel defeadant to issue his warrant on tbe' Treasurer for $1000 due' him for Dr. Ckoppin and Beard rt. the Louisiana Ltret Company.

4 1 Bixtb Diatrict Cqnrt -OF- act SO i OKTHK 81S81US OF 1874. State ef Louisiana on the relation of T. D. Lefevre praying for a -r Writ of Habeas Corpus. The relator complains that be ia illegally detained and deprived of his liberty in the Parish by virtue of a mittimus directed to- thet kef per, thereof bv tbe Staee Judge of tbe Second Municipal Polios, Court of this city that his iocarcera-f tion is contrary to law, inasmuch as it is in positive violation of bis coaatitn- tvopai rights.

Ho prays for a writ of ba Was. corpus, and. atter hearing, for bidistharge from custody. I or answer, the keeper of the prison pTodneea tbe sentence of the Judge of, llieSfwijrt Monicipal Coart, ootid em n-; 'B5 tb relator to pay a fine of $35, or in rtefanlt thereof to imprisonment for the period ot hve days for violating act 1T4 in tbi. that he did.

in tMscity and withm the iurisl action of the Second Municipal Court, unlawfully aqd without the lioeose of tne; company now authorized by law, sell, bait and disposo of one on pon of a licktt of the HaTana lottery, bearing the number 8323, which lot wry ia drawn in the Island of Cuba, and ia unauthorised by the laws of this State. Act No. 9. ander th provbiiona of which the relator ia held, ia an act relative to the unlicensed sale of lottery tickets in tbe city ef New Orleans, and eouf erring on the police eonrte the pownr to anppreaa tne same. It providee as fol- bxc.

1. Be it enacted If tM StrnaU and fJovse of Bepresentutiert of tne Slute of Louia.a in General Auemblg convened. That any person who shall within tbe city of New Orleans, without license of the ccmpany now authorized by law, eel), barter, exchange, or otherwise dis-poM of aey lottery tieket. or token, policy, combination, devee or certificate, or fractional part thereof, in any lottery drawn, or to be drwn in or out of the State, shall be liable to pay a tine rtf twenty-five dollars to the citr of New Orleans, one half of which shall be for tbe benefit of the informer, and it ehall be tbe duty of any police officer to arrest any person who may violate this act, and take such person before the police court of the diatrict -wherein -the violation may have occurred, aud npon due proof being made said police court shall condemn tbe offender for each pf-fense to pay tbe tine imposed by this apt, and in default of payment to imprisonment for five days. Skc.

2. Beit further ete That the- term lottery used in the first section of thia act shall be cons trued to apply to any gift: enterprise, sale, oonoert-or any device or scheme embracing the elements of ebance. i Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, Tbat.

this act shall take effect from: and after its passage. It is contended on behalf of the tor that thia statute is for the reason that it extends the jog i cial powers of the judges of the muni cinaloonrta bevond the ooaisive DTohibi contained in article V4 of tne kt.itut.inn of the State. I 7 cdn-rie it urged on the otner band, by tne learned counsel who sustain the sen tence of th monicipal qudge, tbat tats statute is clearly a police regulation, punishing a sale in this eitT ot any lattery ticket, legal or without a license from the company now authorized by law that its object is to secure to said company the privilege of. selling tickets, which is exclusive nnder the let-tety act' of 1868, and that whether tke regulation was enacted immediately by tbe Legislature or mediately by autbori-ty derived from the Legislature, ia immaterial in eonsidering tbe quest ion bf -what is or what is not a police regulation within the meaning of article bf the constitution, which reads as follows: AttT. 94.

No judlcl.il powers except as committing magistrates in criminal oasi sball be conferred on any officers other than those mentioned in tat title, ex-oeptsuch jtf may be neceeaary in to was and cities, and the judicial powers soch officers' shall not extend furtbsr than the cognizance of cases "aristdg nnder tbe police of towns and cities in the State. In any oase where such officers shall assume jurisdiction over other matters than those wbiab may arise nnder police regulation, or under their jurisdiction at committing ma glut rates, they sball be liable to an action of damages ia favor of the party injured or his heirs, hud a verdict in favor of tbe party injured shall ip facto operate a vacation of the office of, said omrer. i 1 I This is an extraordinary provision. Its like is not to be found in any otber eonstitntion that has come nnder my notice after an extended searob. The inhibition as to the extension of iudl-diciai authority amounts to a sole in aduionition to.

the Lw making power, and when we find "at the frauiers of tbe constitution have added to it the unusual emphasis of a penalty, which they did not leave to tbe Legislature to enact, we must hold the prohibition tb be imperative, arbitrary and absolute. It becomes us. therefore, to determine what are the police regulations of cities and towns in this State. Are they, the police regulations, prescribed by citie and towns themselves, or are they, the political regulations, prescribed for thnup bv the Legislature, or are both to be considered as police regulations withiA tne meaning ox vuo auove axucie ot inc. constitution Upon this enbject Mr.

Diltron, in hit -a oik on Municipal Corporations, section 244, aays: 2 Lnder the general term of ordinances have fcometiines been included all tbe regulations by which a corporation it govern including special charter or statute regulation-, as well as by-lawa. In this country the-term ordinance is not nsraallv applied, if ever to charter or acts of the Legislator respecting municipal corporations, regulating their powers and mode of action, but is limited in its atpplicatiou to the act. in tbe nature of tbe local laws passed by tLe proptr assembly or governing body of tbe corporation. According to Lord Coke the word by, or bye. signifies a babitation, and thence a by-law iq or by-law or ordinauoe iq this country may be defined to be the law oi tbe inhabitants of the corporate place, or district, made by themselves or the authorized botty, in dtstinetioti from tbe general law of tbe country of the statuto law of the particular State.7!

Ex-1 cept by the act No. 9, now being consid-f it has always, in this and other i States, been a matter regulated by 8tatj legislation under tbe police power of the; State, 'for the whole 8tate; and there-' fore the offense arising under this sta-! tute, not being a case arising nnder the' police regulations of this city, is not cog-) nicable by the municipal courts, unden tbe restrictive provisions of article of! tbe constitution; and tbe lawpurport-i ins to confer this Jurisdiction mnat held to violate them, and consequently, to be unconstitutional, null and void.
