i 1 1 i) irTT. mJ i take jseema 4 bly. No. 44; approved the 37th March, 1879, repeals the act of incorporation of the Louisiana Btate Lottery Company and renders penal that which the act of 1868 was framed to make lawful, and under the authority of which the corporation has been acting for ten years and upwards, and have paid as before mentioned. Your orators charge that in 1868 there was no constitutional Impediment to the making of the said enactment by, the General Assembly, and the sale of lottery tickets was then lawful by the purchase of a license.

The validity of this enactment has been sanctioned by she Jodl elal tribunals of the Btate and by the executive and legislative departments in their appropriation and use of the money paid by the said corporation every year for ten years. Tour orators charge that there is a vested right of property in the corporate franchisee and the corporate faculties therein set forth, for the full term of twenty five years, which the General Assembly oan not take away by its arbitraryenactment without legal processor trial. The General Assembly nave, by the abolition of the corporation and the prohibition of the drawing and managing of lotteries and sale of tickets, deprived tbe said company of property, Illegally and in contradiction of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United BtateaZhe General Assembly, in renouncing the contract which is embodied in the act No. aforesaid, and resuming the franchisee and faculties, or attempting to resume them by an arbitrating enactment, usurped a power to impair the obligations of a contract, and to divest rights of property vested by their own grant. In derogation of the supreme law of the land, as expressed in the constitution of the United States, as well as In disregard of the limitations upon the legislative power as contained la the supreme organic law of the 8tate.

Year orators charge that the aot of the 27th march aforesaid, promulgated as aot No. 44, and as law for the State, is not a law, bnt an act of insubordination to and a disobedience of the supreme law of the land and a violation of rihts of property and the conditions of a contract made with the corporation organized and established under the aot No. first mentioned. Your orators claim the protection of the tenth section of the first article of the constitution of tbe United States, and the first section of tbe article fourteen of the amendments to the constitution of the United Btates, and invoke the Jurisdiction of this honorable court as a cause arising under the constitution and elaws of the United Btates, and where tbe constitution has been disregarded, to the prejudice and wrong of your orators. 8.

Your orators further complain and say that the Said Charles T. Howard and John A. Morris, the ooplalntlffa in this salt have an interest In the drawing of the lotteries, eales of tickets and in the management and tbe conducting and carrying on of the business described in the act of incorporation aforesaid; In connection with and for the benefit of the sahi Louisiana State Lottery Company, and af themselves, nnder a contract with them, and. they unite in the bill for tbe maintenance and support of the rights and privileges granted to the said corporation in which they have a reooni'ed snare, ana wnion rights are invaaea tno terms of the act No. 44 aforesaid, in the abolition ef the corporation, and the imposition of penalties for acts done under tbe authority of the same and conformably to them.

Your orators further complain and say: That the aot No 44t. passed at tbe last session of the General' Assembly was designed and approved to destroy the corporation created nnder the authority of act No. 25 of 1868, known as tbe Louisiana State Lottery Company; and to hinder the carrying on of any or either of the functions therein allowed, and to' Involve in criminal prosecu tiena every person directly or Indirectly, immediately or remotely concerned in tbe management and operation of the said bu sinees, therein allowed and enoouraged. And that in this there was a great lndiffer xenee as to the fact whether the measure aforesaid was constitutional or otherwise, aa invading rights of property or of contract; for your orators aver that it has become quite fashionable to neglect the per ormanoe of contracts and to deride tbe obligations 'tbey impose, and to avoid them upon futile aud frivolous considerations, Whether the aot was so framed and approved to give an additional value to the lottery measures of the city nnder the aot of "March, 1876. No.

91; to give additional value to tbe tickets issued nnder that act called premium bonds, or to make an advance towards other repudiations more extensive and mischievous, or whether there was mere spite and hostility to individual persons, your orators will not undertake to determine, but your orators say that since its approval a body of militia fired cannon as a feu fe joie at the instigation of some persons more or less interested in such enterprises and more or less possessed of such spiteful and hostile sensations. Your orators further complain and say that tbe several defendants are oilioers of the Btate, concerned In the of such Jaws, and are organized and commissioned for the purpose of their execution. The Auditor, Junto, has set the example of disregard of tbe contract in the act No. 25 of the year 1868, by refusing the money that It eommauds the company to pay, and for which he holds the bonds of tbe corporation. The Commissioners of Police and the Chief of Police, to, wit: Isaac W.

Patton, Pat lick Meallie, Charles G. Johnson, John R. Keller, Jules Dejan, Edward A. "Palfrey and Thos. N.

Boy lan are the agents of such administration, and persons employed to give unreasoning obedience to orders of their superiors without much regard to the supreme law of the land, and your orators believe and charge that, without the i train lug order of the court, they would hinder and prevent the management or conduct of any portion of the business opera tlons authorized by the charter of inoor atlon of the Louisiana State Lottery Company. Your orators further complain and say that J. Finney, John Fitzpatriok, Michael J. Bbeehan, rnest Miitenberger, lease W. Falls, Frederick Gels, and other officers concerned in the work of enforcing laws of tbe kind, and maintaining their authority, however they may infringe the rights derived from the constitution of the United States and dependent on their authority.

They held office under the power of the Btate wbioh made the contract of 1868, and has engaged in tbe repudiation measure of 1879, as hereinbefore set forth. These officers are usually so employed, and have, in the belief of your orators, been engaged to assist in the arrest of persons attached to the business of the said lottery company. And your orators have no question that the requirements of the latter act will be fulfilled in respect to your orators directly, and each agent, em ployee, elerk, tenant and each person who shall deal with your orators, and that 0 the machinery of the penal code will be set la motion to enforce tbe act of 1879, and to destroy the effect of the aot of 1868. And your orators have sufficient evidence for this belief in the persistent efforts of news papers to inspirit sncb a determination and to bring the constitutional provisions npon which your orators rely into opprobrium and contempt. Your orators further complain and say that there was no judicial inquiry or exami nation made in respect to their rights or claims, and no adverse judgment to them 1 In any court of justice has been made to establish tbe invalidity of their grant or the insufficiency of their title, or any breach of any conditions contained in its charter.

The General Assembly notwithstanding have ab 1 rogated "the grnt and contract that the General Assembly in 1868 made with the Louisiana Btate Lottery Company, and made penal the acts that may be done by your orators under that contract, and punishable by imprisonment or fine. Your orators charge that irreparable mischief will follow to them from the enforcement of this aet or any of its provisions; that the Authority of the 8tate of Louisiana, its power and its immunity from suit would be irre sistible bat for the superior dominion of the constitution of the United Btates. The ingenious manner in which they have diffused their penalties Into all of the rami fications of the business of the plaintiff, and to Interrupt Its minutest and most remote set, betray tne mauoe ana misomei or tms repealing measure. The infinite number of suits to arise out of any resistance to It should its operation be continued is beyond any individual strength. Consequently, there was tyranny and injustice in the framing of the enactment.

All of which eonduot is contrary to equity and good conscience and tends to the wrong of your the end therefor that the said several may be made parties to this lULAltlcl.nlAii, 1.4 ma ahnv Itthial Ann taere be any cause why the prayer ber PiMwandreilef6hallnotbe granted. the rector ceJv pray that the process of eub of ftach one of them requiring wr th Mil TiTiilar t.hA rnlM Ann J. onorable court, as fully as neof them were directly A thflrennmi Toor orators I ci the in August, .1863, to the 'Usiana and that corn pany, and conferring rights of property in the franchises, privileges and faculties specified for all of tbe term and in the full meaning of tbe aot of 1868.

New Orleans, April 1, 1879. LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE WEATHER. Lowest temperature Monday night 62. Fair to clouay weather, warm southeriv winds, veering to colder north weet in Texas and Louisiana, and frequent local showers, are me oonaiuons.

MORRIS RANGER Eflect of tho Peclsloa mt tho Supreme Cenrt Review of tho Case. The effect of the Morris Banger decision was to depress premium bonds and Improve railroad bonds, but very little change in tbe market value of city consolidated bonds was observed. The amount of Jackson Railroad bonds outstanding is only about S63O.000. Tbe total of the railroad series of bonds issued by the city and outstanding March 1, 1879, $713,000. of which amount past due 4628.000.

i In this connection the following explanation ef the points involved may prove inter esting: i Tbe United States ex reL Morris Ranger vs. tbe Mayor and Common Council of the city or stew Orleans, involves a tax upon the property holders of this city to pay the principal of the bonds issued to the Jacxeon, upeiousasana rontcuar train Rati roads to the amount of 4.000,000, viz Jack son Railroad $2,000,000, Opelousas Railroad tl.6O0.000 ana rontonartraln ssoo.ooo. It Is a case which Involves tne right of tbe holders of these bonds to demand an imme diate levy upon the property of the city of ew urieans or a tax sumcienc to pay the principal of all the bonds issued by the cltv to aid in the construction of these railroads In the year 1854. Judge Billings, in an elaborate opinion, held that the tax could not be levied, on the ground tbat courts did not have the power oi taxation, as tnac oeiongea to the lckis latnre tbat it was clear that the Legisla ture Intended that, the principal of these oonos snonia do paia one oi tne stock in the several railroads which the city subscribed for to an amount equal to that of the bonds which the city issued. ThiB case was very ably argued in the Su preme court oi tne unuea acates about six weeks ago, Henry C.

Miller, for the city, and David Labatt, for tbe oonanoiaers. This decision is looked forward to with great interest by the property holders of this city, for, while the case involves really not over tioo.ooo. it will decide the right as to the levying of the tax for the entire (4.000.000) four millions of dollars. In rendering his decision. Judge Billings held that A general statute of Loulidana prohibited municipal corporations from in curring any cent or liability unless in the oidinance creating the same full provision was made for tbe payment of principal and interest at tne same time a special statute presented the form of the ordinance by which a particular debt might be created, and declared that such ordinance must be submitted to the legal voters of the corporation, and the assent of a majority of such voters was maae a conaiuon or its validity.

Heia tbat where such ordinance, so submitted to tbe voters for their approval, contained no provision for the levying of any tax to pay the principal of the debt, but did contain another provision, which was evidently deemed ample for such purpose, it was the evident intention of the Legislature that the principal debt should be paid by taxa tion, ana in sucn case tne writ oi mandamus to compel the levy of a tax to pay such prin cioal was refused. The act authorizing the bonds p'edges in perpetuity me stock ror mat purpose; it gives tbe right to the bondholder to convert bis bond into stock; it provides tbat all dividends derived from the stock above per cent. should be devoted to extin Kuish the principal, and while providing with extreme rigor for the payment of tne mtereBt, in case niviaenas irom tne stock should not be altogether sufficient, and while providing that until tbe ordinance levying this yearly tax to pav tbe interest had been passed by the Common council, no vaua resolution eouia be adopted, it is profoundly silent as to any tax to pay the principal. Tbe implication is that the Legislature Intended the bondholder should, for the collection of the principal enm, look to the stock, at least to the exclusion of taxation. Now.

since tbe general statute, and tbe statute with reference to the city of New Orleans struck with nullity all obligation of cities, unless the ordinance creating the same fully provided for the payment; and since one of the same statute makes special enactment with reference to eastts where provision for payment shall be by levying a tax," thereby showing that taxation was included in the term it seems to me that 'when a contemporaneous Legislature authorized a city to issue 'bonds, and prescribed tbe form of tne ordinance which the City' Common Council should adopt creating tho obligation, the failnre of such ordinance td prescribe any provision for taxation, and lu the insertion in such ordinance of other means of payment, which, appears to have been deemed abundantly adequate of itself, repels the inference that taxation waa intended. In the case of Ranger vs. city a Woods. 129 Judge Woods said In the case of Maenbaut vs. 4tUy, 2 Woods.

108. 1 express tbe oplnicn, and 1 still adhere to it, that the. provisions of the thirty seventh section of tbe act of 1S53, being la fact the charter of the city, providing how the debts of tbe city shonld In future be created and limiting the power of the city in contracting aeots, formed a part of the oontraot between the city and those who received and held the consolidated debt and the bonds Issued by the authority of the provisions of acts 108 and 109 of 1855. in my judgment me holder of the bonds nnder these two acts bad the right to demand of the city la accordance with tbe terms of the thirty seventh section of the aot of 1852, tbat no further debt or loan should be contracted by the cltv and no ordinance creatinsr a dent or loan should be voted unless for dime single work or object distinctly speoinea tnerem, and unless such ordinance sdould provide wayB and means for the payment thereof, ard such ordinance should not he repealed ni til tbe principal and Interest of tbe capital borrowed should be fully paid and discharged." As to the proceeding taken by Ranger the Jndge expressed an opinion as follows It seems to me mat me complainant, mo same party Ranger, his mistaken his remedy. Be has his bonds and judgment upon them, and he has the right to have a tax levied to pay the principal ana interest upon the bonds.

That is the only right he ha, and tbat right is only to be secured by the common law remedy of mandamus."

A Lecture by Mr. Lejenne at Graewald Hall, la Which he Pelnts Oat the Dif ferences Between American and French Last evening Mr. Leleune delivered at Ornnewald Hall a lecture on Contemporary of France, which proved to be one of the most interesting of liia series of ca.iaertes. In introducing his theme Mr. Leleune said that journalism is one of the principal em ployments oi literary men in Frenb journalism is little understood in America.

The Inhabitants of this country read usnallv French papers by fits and starts, tfnd sometimes after laying down a Paris gazette they ask, Is that all 1" The Infirmities of a national press are in curable. Literature changes with time, the people, tbe alterations of custom. press remains the same it seems to transform it self to represent the ideas and manners of various nations. Literature is a country en grand toilette and the press a nation en desnabillee. American journalism is an industry.

In this country the journalist de votes especial attention to me garnering or the news of the dav. These newspapers are carefully perused by the masses; by readers who read everything. The Freneh press Is not an Industry, but a department oi national literature Tlere Mr. Leleune died an article by Veuii lot on la grosee presse meaning Journals mat care lor circulation oniy.i The French press must be literary, far the publio is not a curious one, bat affects lite rarv tastes, whiob mav be satisfied with the compositions of literatrura but not with the lull details oi daily ocuurrenoes, In England and America tke journals strive to excel each other in tho complete ness oi tneir news aepartments. xae French reader omits details.

His paper gives bim but little news. Never i beless, it is too much for him to peruse. The daily paper ys the first object of attention for the American it is me last ror tne a rencn. i ite former reads his journal in the morning; the latter at night. The Frenchman care more for a good breakfast than to Inform himself of what tbe out iiie world is doing The lecturer ascribed this difference of eentiment on the part of tbe elieoteile ot American and Freuoh journals to the ex cess of curiosity in the American tempera ment.

But small space Is devoted by Paris Joui nals to financial affairs, speculations, etc for the reason that the subscribers would complain of partiality toward one or another interest. It is. a popular habit to ridicule and satirize the par cum and the speculator. The theatre makes fun of them, aud the press must go with the current of publio opinion. The attention of the Journals in Franoe is given solely to the polemics of political par ties ana criticisms oi art una literature.

10 these they excel. The journals having for eiirn correspondents are le Temps, who has Lamatte. who attended the Exposition at Philadelphia; also, Louis Blanc, who wrote interesting letters irom iugiana. ua zette de France has a correspondent in Berlin. The Queen of Holland, a woman of fine literary abilities, is correspondent for the Moniteur La Liberie nas naa a correspondent in ing land, Augnstin Fllon.

whose letters were more in England than in France. La Repub iique ranoalse maintains correspondents only in Italy ana uermany, igaro has a correspondent in London, bat reo aires only most Important items, such the corona tion oi a sovereign or me suicide oi crowned head. The journals have very lit tle roreign news Tbe French press cannot spend large sums in roreign correspondence, as mey laoxtne patronage of an advertising publio, which in America furnishes the sinews of war to tbe Journals. Outside of a few advertise ments of judicial sales and one or two dry gooas nouses mey nave no business Le Temps, with 26 advertisements, is rook onea a lucxy paper. specialties with the Pans Journals are art and literary criticisms, political articles, fenllletons, and tbe latter have recently been somewhat neglected since Eugene Bue and Dumas Pere have died, as people preier to reaa mem in doom iorm In this department the most popular writers are Emlle de Girardin, Lacour, Louis Veuil lot, Jean Leraoine, Chas.

Blanc, and Paulde oi. victor. Mr. Lejeone gave some interesting dntails of the lives of de Girardin, Roohe iort, viueniessan ana ram de uassaenao Before concluding his lecture Mr. Lejeane read the following extract, by Louis Veuil lot, on tbe sort of journalists the author called mauvart Joiimalitilg and betes d'enere.

When thev are clad in a new coat they are too proud to oow to any one. out at eioows, witn irozen nngers, and hearts rilled with enyy, tbey write, live and calumniate.

hatever may be done, whether the press be submitted to Russian laws or iflven American liberties, scoundrels gifted with tbe power of writing, and who will write, are always to be found. Do not propose honest work to the literary robber, It is not in that way he desires to live. Do not give him alms, it is not in that manner he wishes to be assisted. He will accept employment only to make debts he will accept a favor only to hate tbe more for if he can be assisted, the mere aot of this person being able to aid makes Aim obnoxious by reason of bis capacity to assist. He prefers to sulk, suffer tbe pangs of hunger, cold, endure the advances of his baker and butcher, than to live easily by a loyal industry.

a half crown, not the prics of a low aet, seems to him to have been earned wrongfully. The truly bitter bread to him is the one he has not picked np in tbe mire. He hates beauty, rank, wit, courage, virtue, talent, honor, and all which he is devoid, and which he can never acquire. He has a erudee eepeciallT acrainst those whom be flatters, for who will flatter him There fore his pen assuages bim.

THE PAN I TAR ASSOCIATION.

Aa Earnest Movement for the Pabllc tioed. There seems to be a great deal of earnest ness employed by the executive committee appointed by the Odd Fellows' Hall meeting on Monday night. The President and his confreres went honestly to work yesterday to devise measures by which the city authorities may be aided in promoting the general health. It Ts entirely understood that in the matter of mortality New Orleans possesses a record better than any other great eity in the Union, bnt it is a widespread belief that yellow fever owes its propagation to a puo llo disregard of health methods. Howsoever untrue this opinion may be, it is nevertheless an accepted tact, and the object of the committee is to create such a condition of cleanliness aa will disarm even the worst enemy of the eity.

The President of the body, Mr. Chas. A. Whitney, fully appreciates this point, and it is a matter of ren congratulation that be takes so marked an interest in the movement. Tbe committee, while acting with the city government, will take occasion to make sanitary suggestions to the publie.

Tbe court directs that, tbe plaintiff nave leave to niivse tne motiou ior an injunction on fioaJay next, with pennta eion to make an earlier motion if any act of molestation or disturbance shall be previously committed by the defendants or others.
