This appeal in not premature because the appellant had failed to move for the rescinding of the order before taking the same. Motion to dismiss refused.

No. 89S6 Mayor and City Council of Monroe vs. Fred. 8. Meuer.

Violations ot the ordinance of a eity, passed in the exercise of the express or implied powers vested in municipal corporations, and relating to acts not Included in the criminal laws of the State, cannot properly be regarded as crimes to which the constitutional guarantees of prosecution by Indictment or information and trial by jury pertain. The constitutional prohibition against slavery or involuntary servitude does not relate to the mode of punishment of any class of offenders, but was directed axalnst any attempt to re establish the system of slavery once prevailing in some States, or any species of servitude resembling it. Likewise the prohibition against fixing by law the price of manual labor refers exclusively to contract labor. Hence where a arty was sentenced by the Recorder of onxoetopaya Aire of 30 for keeping a disorderly house, and in default of payment to work on the streets of the city at the rate of 91 per day until the same were paid. Is not illegal and void.

Judgment affirmed. BT ASSOCIATE jrSTICB FEJTKER. No. 8970 State ex rel. W.

H. Aymar vs. the Judgeof theTwenty Second Judicial District Court et al. Application for mandamus and prohibition. In an Injunction suit to restrain a tax collector, from proceeding with advertisement and sale of property for taxes, when Judgment is rendered dissolving the Injunction and ordering the tax collector to proceed with the sale to satisfy the taxes, and naming the amount thereof, this last portion of the decree is not to be treated as a moneyed Judgment in estimating tne amount of bond required for suspensive appeal.

Writs of mandamus and prohibition made peremptory. No. 8721 William T. Levlne etal. Pilots' Association vs.

Bernard Miohell. On rehearing. Articles 1926, 1927 and 1929 ot the Code authorizing specino performance of obligations to do or not to do in certain cases, apply to contracts of partnership as well as to other conventional obligations. Where, by a valid contract or partnership, a partner bound himself, first, to devote his time, labor, skill, eta, to the partnership business; second, not to carry on the partnership business otherwise than as a partner, the latter negative obligation' may be enforced by injunction, although the former cannot be especially enforced. Former decree amended accordingly.

No. 8867 In re Fazende aHSelxa, praying for a monition. Appeal from the Civil District Court for the parish of Orleans. On motion to dismiss. An opponent in a monition proceeding is in no caso required to make an antecedent tender as a condition Tvrprjfnfc to onnosinir confirmation of sals.

Judgment amended accordingly. BY ASSOCIATE JUSTICE MASSING. No. 8707 Jose Loclano vs.

B. H. Flaspol ler. A claim of damages for an alleged tort, is barred by the consent to, and active assistance in the performance of the aot which produced the damage, by the claimant. Judgment affirmed.

No. 8656 Area and vs. R. MlUlken. On application for a rehearing.

Beheariag refused. No. 88T9 Jules A. Blanc et aL vs. P.

A. Murray. The fact that the damage complained of is inflicted by a public nuisance will not prevent a recovery at the suit of an individual, if he has suffered a special and particular damage therfrom different from that which is common to all. A public nuisance is one of the effects of which are common to the general public, and which does sot produce any special or particular damage to any one person as distinguished from the rest of the, pub lie. If a nuisance is susceptible of being both public and private, and is so to such an extent that an individual right is violated, then the private remedy is permissible, even though the result may be to open the door to a multiplicity of suits.

Thus smoke, noise? noxious vapors, noisome smells or other cause which creates a public nuisance, may, by Interfering with comfortable enjoyment of property, create a private nuisance as well, aud cause a special and particular damage which will justify an individual action for aamages. Where the right to the private action exists, injunction will lie to restrain the continuance of the nuisance and suppress it. The City Council cannot legally authorize what will produce a private nuisance. A municipal body cannot do more than a State Legislature, and although what is authorized by tha Legislature within the scope ot Its constitutional power cannot be a public nuisance, it may be a private nuisance, and the legislative grant no protection against a private action for damages resulting therefrom. A fortiori is the true mode of authorisation from a City Council.

No. 8698 Alexis Ribet, agent, vs. Jacques Batallle, et aL A pledge ot bonds, stocks, notes, etc, made by delivery of them, la valid as well against third persons as against the pledgor, if made in good faith.

The fact that an appeal to the Court of Appeals waa taken immtanAona with an aoDeal to this court is no ground for dismissal of the appeal here, there being no suggestion on our want of inrtsritatinn.

AFFAIRS. Bids far the market Revenue A Large Increase aa Shown by a Comparative Statement City Finances. The public schools reopened yesterday, and the attendance of pupils waa as large as the average. The bids lor the lease of the revenues of the pnblio markets en bloc from Jan. 1, 1681, for three years, were opened at noon yesterday, and were as follows F.

R. Duperett 00 8. Vidalat Co 632,000 oo Pierre Ader 00 Jno. Artigue Co 685,000 00 As will be seen, the highest bid is (652,000, or an average of 217,333 per annum, or $18, 111 per month. The present lessee of the markets paid $362,000 for a two years' lease, or $16,681 per month.

Bo that the bid of Vidalat Co. is an Increase of $36 000 a year, or $72,000 for two years.

Landry Parish. St. Landrv Democrat. Deo. 1 This parish is against tne administration, but.

the Mc Eneryites are still hunting. While they will not proclaim they are tor Moe nery, ior xear of destroying their own chances for nomination by the parish convention, or of be coming delegates, 11 tney ao get to ue delegates to the State convention, they will there show their true colors. No delegate who votes for McEriery at Baton Rouge, wilitrulv renresent the Democracy of this parish. The proof of the truth of this 4 statement is, tuat ao Moc uerivcs tbat may be cere do not publicly advocate bis nomination. But just let them get to be delegates to Baton Rouge, and their zeal for him there if the political wind shows that he is going to be nominated would convince Gov.

Nichol! himself that be has no HiendB in tbis parish. No man can be a ii bolls man and a MoEnery man, from prh ciple. thing is absolutely incompatible. Nicbolls would have no confidence in snvone. who professed to be for him, aud after him for McEnery.

Those who may proclaim for Nii holis, iu ordar to help Mo Enery, should not be trusted by those who are against the administration. McEnery Democracy. St. Landry Democrat, Dec. 1 In the par ish of Pinquemines, when an election was being lieiQ in one or toe wards, on tne bank of the river, for delegates to the parish Democratic convention, a steamboat with a lot of negroes, was landed, and the negroes voted for tho McEnery delecrates, who were elected by two majority.

Thus is McEnery to oe nominated ny jKepuoiioan votes. In the parish of Catahoula, known to be against the administration, the parish coia uiittee, favorable to McEnery and knowing he had no chance before the people, elected the delegates to the State convention them selves. Thus is McEnery to be nominated ty tne ring and not by the delegates 01 the people. In some parishes where the sentiment Is against him, if tbe committees have boeu secured, a mass meeting is suddenly called to elect delegates, and they are packed. sometimes by people not residents, as in Madison parlsn.

wnen the committee cannot be trusted, and the president of it is all right, he Issues a call for a mass meeting, or for an election by wards, directly for delegates to the State Convention, as suits best the exigen cies 01 me case, witnout noiairrg a parisn convention. Our own parish is a notable exception, bnt in most of the Darlshes the aiDointees of the State Government are hard at work to perpetuate it and in one parish the police Jury appointed by him, actually nominated him for re election. The iniquitous election law has always been thoroughly exposed in these columns. and with It and the other corrupt agencies wmcn are seauiousiy at won ior tne rings tnat now control me pontics ana nnances of this State, they could elect the King of the Cannibal Islands Governor of Louisiana, if the people do not bestir themselves to prevent ft. Disappointment of the McEnery I ten.

FarmervlUe Gazette: The McEnerv fac tion has not been as successful aa they anticipated In the recent primary elections held throughout the country parishes. The people are determined upon nominating some one else to succeed the so called Levee Governor," and they are going to send aeiegates to tne convention to do held at Baton Rouare who will not be afraid to openly oppose the MoEnery ring. The East Feliciana Contest. Southern Watchman: Now we desire to call particular attention to these significant iacta. ine 01a reiiaDie waras tnat nave given Democratic majorities in every election ince the first candidacy of Gen.

Nlcholls, gave large majorities for him this time the well known and avowed leaders of the Republican faction of this parish were warm and actire supporters of the MoEnery delegates. The very men who were called to New Orleans to swear that Nicbolls was elected before through fraud and intimidation, were found working hand and shoulder with the contestants to defeat the Nlcholls ticket. If It be admitted that at least 300 Radical votes were polled at this election, they will be found enrolled, doubtless, as before. against me nous and reiorm. Ana it tnis contest is ever tried, the same old stale and false affidavits of intimidation and fraud may be made to do duty again.

We have the affidavits and we have the names of the swearers, and shall watch with interest tbis wonderful contestation. There can be but this conclusion iu this matter. This baseless contest has been in itiated in order to present the East Feliciana delegation from taking part in the formation ot the convention. Tne intended rssult of such tactics obvious. Rule or ruin is the motto of the faction.

The Bolt, Shrevenort Democrat The McEnery or gans affect to bo possessed with a boly horror le6t tbe Ogden men witi bolt the State Convention. The reason they are so familiar with the word is that, as we have often shown, they are fully bent on a ooit themselves in case the issue ef the convention should not be such as has been arranged by the ring and the Lottery Company. But even though they should not in reality bolt. tney are aeterminea on anotner course Dy which they expect to accomplish the same result. They are moving heaven aud earth to enter the convention wtth an apparent majority, so that all the preliminaries can be arranged in their interest before the credentials of the delegates shall have been passed on by the proper committee.

This is the meaning of the contest of the delegation from East Feliciana. There is not a shadow of a doubt as to there molarity and fairness of the election, or of the fact that McEnery has been beaten on a square issue. But the word has been at the Howard headquarters that a contest must be filed and, hence, that the East Feliciana delegates must stand aside until the convention shall have been organized and committees so packed that the Domination of McEnery is secured before a vote shall be taken. So will it be in every ward in the city or New Orleans, in the face of the known fact that the city is solid in favor of tbe nomination ot Ogden. So will It be in every country parish where they cannot import enough hired voters, as they did in Madison, or cannot raise enough secret canards, as they did In Caddo, to carry the delegation.

It is their belief, as indeed it is their hope, that there will be spirit enough among the Ogden men to resent such infamous conduct and leave the convention and this la what they denominate iu advance a They are freezing for such a bolt. They are anxious to have no one (eft in the party except the tools of the Ring and the hirelings of the lottery. They do not want the true Democrats to share the offices with them. They do not want their nefarious deeds watched and their corruptions ex posed, as they have hitherto been. They want a lull swine, as tno itaaioais naa in the fays of their carnival of crime and robbery.

Before the people have done with them, they will yet come to such aa end as the Radicals came to: The true Democracy of the State are going into tbis convention with the expectation of winning. They do not believe that a majority of the people are under such influences as rule this administration. They expect to compel a fair convention. They expect to put down fraud and corruption. They expect a fair nomination.

Tney expect to support the But they do not Intend to he run over. They were not run over in Radical times. They were not run over on the 11th of September, while many of these vultures were watching the issue of the battle, in order to prey on its results, as. Indeed, they have been doing almost ever sinoe. Nor can they be purchased by lottery money.

While these men are prating about "bolts and are atill Bursulng their dark ways, it may add a ttle to the repose ot their souls to remember these things. Hew Caddo Stands. Shreveport Times The temporary success achieved by the McEnery men In a single ward of this parish at the'primary election on Monday nas made the administration organ in this city boastful and arrogant, and following the course it has all alorffe pursued in claiming everything, It affects to treat the nomination of McEnery aa a foregone conclusion. The Standard will yet find tbat it Is reckoning without its THE COUNTRY POLITICAL We have already adverted to the reasons that brought about the election tf four administration delegates out of the five to which the fourth ward was entitled in the State Convention In the face a large anti administration majority in the It baa already been ascertained that a majority of the delegates elected to the State Convention from the parish of Caddo are opposed to McEnery, the administration, the lottery and the ring, and this majority, unquestionably represents the sentiments of a very large majority of the Democratic voters of the parish at large. The result In this oae ward has neither purified nor covered McEnery wifcb.

a coat of white wash thick enough to hide his short comings from tb gaze of the people, nor is it any Indication that be will receive the nomination at Baton Rouge. We are not less confident to day. If fair dealing obtains, that the ddmlnistration will be repudiated and set aside at Baton Rouge, than we were prior to last Monday. The outlook is encouraging for the defeat of the administration, and we believe it will be accomplished. A Heavy Burden.

Vienna Sentinel: tt there is any virtue In proving a candidate unworthy ot the position he seeks, McEiiery will never be elected Governor of Louisiana again, for verily the evidence is abundant aud convincing, and none but those who have eyes and will not see and ears and will not hear, will so disregard the welfare of the Stata as to again place in his hands the reins ot government, and allow the government be run in the interest of a few to the detriment of the mass of the people. Those who support him, with the hevy burden of the political sins he carries upon his shoulders, in doing so cannot be actuated by au hon3st desire for tbe prosperity of the State and its future welfare to the exclusion of other motives.

Herald. The great dailly newspapers have ceased to be moulders of public opinion. They only give the news and allow a man to form his own opinion. They offer mttd editorial protests, but they do not, as they did in the days of Greeley, use the sledge hammer argument. Bright paragraphs, sharp and double edged, are more potent now than the leader." This may be properly considered a great reform for the long editorials shed gloom over the entire country.
