DANGER OF KISSING WOMAN AGAINST HER
VILLA curious case was recently tried at the
Middlese1 Sessions. England. Thomas Saverland,
the prosecutor, stated that he was in the tap room
where the defendant, Caroline Newton, and her
sister, who had come from Birmingham, were pre-.
sent. The latter jokingly observed that she had
promised her sweetheart that no man should kiss
her while absent. 1t being holyday time, Saver.
land considered this challenge, and caught hold
of her and kissed her. The young woman took it
as joke but her sister, the defendant, said she
would like as little of that fun as he pleased: He
then tried to do it, and they fell to the ground. On
rising the woman struck him. He again tried to
kiss her, and in the scuffie, she bit off his nose,
which she spit out of her mouth. The action was
brought to damages for the loss of the nose
The defendant said he had business to kiss her
if she wanted kissing, she had husband to kiss
her, better looking man than the prosecutor was;
| The jury without hesitation, acquitted her; and
the chairman said, " that if any man attempted &c
| kiss woman against her will, she had right tc
bite ofrhis nose if she had fancy for so DOING"

The Quaiinca tions Of Municipal omcers.

The protest made by Major Blanchard against
the election of Mr.. Grant, will bring up for judicial
decision question of much importance-the quail
fcations of Municipal officers. The Constitution,
Art. 95, is in these words:
.ART1oLr S. All civil ofcess for the State large shall
within their districts or parishes and shall keep their offices
At such ss a. may Ds 90 %
shall have resided suh parish long enough before such
snch ps and no shall be elected
any district office who shall not have resided in such district
voting
What is meant by district offices in this article
Why, clearly political division including more
than one parish, and such officers as Judges and
District Attorneys. Can it be said that the NUM-
ipalties are districts, in the meaning of the Con-
stitution. We think they are rather divisions of
corporations, and not the districts meant by article
95
Article 1913 enacts:
CORPORATIONS shall not be created in this State except for
political or municipal purposes"
Article 1873 enacts:
The citizen: Of the city Of New Orleans shall have the
Of he police Of to
Of elections which shall be prescribed BY the Legislature
Thus it appears that articles 1913 and 1913 invest
the Legislature with the power to determine the
qualifications of all officers in the city of New Or
leans Acting under the authority thus conferred,
the Legislature on March 9th, 1916, passed the fol-
lowing statute:
"That all persons shall be eligible to hold office under
all political corporations granted or be granted by the
the State Tor the time being the same class OF persons ell
gbe House Of Representatives of the General Assem-
| bly, Of this State. !"
This we consider conclusive. The act of 1850
changes the mode from appointment by the Coun-
Gil to an election by the people, but it in no degree
e alters the qualifications
n Now, is resident of the parish of Jefferson eli.
gible to the office of Representative in the General
20 Assembly from New Orleans!
Article 9th declares the qualifications Of Re-
i, pre- sentative
He must have resided for three year. next preceding TIT
election IN the State and the last thereof the parish
for which they may be chosen.' ~
We place the ineligibility of nonresident tc
any Municipal office: first, on the article 95 sec
ond, on the statute of 1886, carrying out the pro
nd visions of articles 1913 and 1913 of the Constitution
u We think the law is wise and Just Every maj
w who resides here and earns q support for himse
or and his family is gain to the cy-he adds to i,
population and capital. 1t is but just, that to tn
he citizens who pay the and support the burden
H. of government, should be given its offices and r,
nd wards. Certainly in population of $4,000 the,
ought to be found men competent to perform II
he duties of all Municipal Offices. Letus receive wi,
ns open arms every man who will share fate. B,
a we do object to paying premium, in the way
a. offices, to men who up to the period of their ele
as tion have not resided in the Municipality.
