The Case of the Clerk of the First District Court

Yesterday morning, Judge McHenry opened his
Court, and began the proceedings of the day by
reading very long opinion in justification of his
course, and in condemnation of the proceedings on
the habeas corpus before the Second District Court
He concluded his opinion by recommittng Mr..
Rousseau for the remainder of the ten days unex-
pired of his former commitment, and expressed his
determination if the latter was again set at liberty
to proceed under the S0th article of the Constitu-
ton, which provides for the removal of the Clerk
Judge McHenry then refused to listen to or two
applications for appeals in other cases. and ordered
the Court to be adjourned. The Judge carried his
opinion and the decree off with him, so that we
cannot speak of its contents, except from memory
and are not willing to depend upon that in so i'm
portant matter Should it ever become part of
the records of the Court, or see the light in any
other manner, we shall examine it and its doctrines
Immediately upon being imprisoned, Mr.. Rous-
seau made another application for habeas corpus,
which, to-day being holiday, was made returna-
BILE by the Second District Court at half-past nine
last evening. When the came for trial,
Messrs. Grymes, Preaux, and Foulhouze appeared
for the applicant After reading the petition, the
commitment, and making the necessary examina-
ton of the minutes of the First District Court the
counsel for Rousseau made brief but pointed argu-
ments upon the subject, and the Court rendered the
following judgement:
About three ysa ago Judges Of the Supreme Court of
our State condemned imprisonment for contempt of

washingfon's Birth-Da,

WdShiugf0uS 6lf1n-Udy.
This day is the anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington day halowed in the hearts of all Ameri
cans as the BIRTH if not of the nation, at least
him whom we delight to call the 's Father of his
Country" What day can be more sacred in the
annals Of the nation, what more worthy of having
homage rendered to it by grateful people! And
it is so remembered During the revolution of a
half century with its gories in war, and its tri
umphs in peace, the American nation has always
marked the birthday of Washington an era Of
universal national rejoicing. As the flight of time
separates our existence from his, the veneraton with
which we regard his memory, so far from dimin.
ishing, becomes more intense with each succeed
ing year, and if in times gone by there were some
who did not join in the universal admiration, now
the entire world yields to Washington the first
place in history, as man combining the highest
talents of the statesman with the brightest virtues
the citizen But it is not alone for his own great
ness and the transcendent glory of his character
that Washington is revered but the mere mention
of his name recalls to every mind the great events
in which he was the most conspicuous actor, and
with which he has become so intimately connected
as to be considered tine very duplication of the
American revolution. As that mighty event was

of its hero has not merely sectional or even a
national, but world wide extension and if we
claim him as peculiarly our own that claim is not
acknowledged by other nations, who demand that
he shall be considered as equally belonging to
them. As fit were kind of support to the claim
of the universal world to the fame of Washington
that revolution which gave freedom to another
nation and which may be considered as the just
result of our emancipation from monarchical rule,
had its commencement on the anniversary of the
very day which we now celebrate.
In rejoicing, with the most heartfelt JOY, over our
own progress in liberty, in power, and in all the
essentials of mighty nation, should not forget
that another people, separated from us by wide
ocean, have also to celebrate this day, which
draws them the closer TO us, as their institutions
more resemble ours, of which they were born.
Since the time when Washington yielded up his
spirit, the people of which he was the first Chief
and which looked upon him as its founder, has in
creased, from a comparatively small and powerless
community to one of the grandest and most mag
nifcent in the world. Its industry has been devel-
oped, its territory vastly extended and its popula
ton increased by nearly tenfold, while amid the
almost universal commissions of the civilized world
it alone has remained firm and unscathed advan-
therefore, Americans should honor and revere the
name of Washington, for as long as they continue
to do so, they will never lose their love for those
republican institutions which were the fruit of his
exertions.
