The Hucksters at the city markets cease their reign of terror this morning, if the new ordinance is properly enforced, and housekeepers and others are once more at liberty to buy from producers only at first cost. The ordinance distinctly declares that no one living within ten miles of Richmond shall offer for sale any of the necessaries of life not produced, raised, or caught by them. It does not say, and did not mean to say, that hucksters residing here can sell articles brought beyond the ten miles limit, but that both the seller and the goods sold must come from beyond that limit, unless the articles offered were produced, raised, or caught by the seller within the limits. Surely the clerks and the market committees will exert themselves to have this ordinance enforced, and the people relieved of a tax that has been truly oppressive for years.
