We some davis ago noted the position which
Mr. Mo,se. tbe Unitel States Attorney for this
District. had taxa with regard to the Sugar
interests Of the state, and remarked that he was
NOT only vrhg, but unwise and impolitic, ac-
cora;rr }, our opinion. 1t will be seen by the
fo,Iowag remarks taken from the Red River
| Republican, concerning the letter addressed by
mr.. Noise to the Sugar Planters, that the same
opinion. obtains with regard to him and his con-
duct there. If we are not very wide Of the
mark Mr.. Morse for whom personally we have
the highest regard, will not have to live long to
learn that he was unwsc as well as over hasty
in making all the Sugar Planters of the State,
nimical to him We condemn him for wrongly,
iniudicionsly and improperly bringing grave
political question into a discussion in which he
appeared only as United States officer. He
is, however, liable to very severe criticism on
account of his conduct in this matter all
through, and in the following notice he receives
some of it, The Republican says that the COM
mttee Of the Sugar Planters in their report
stated
" That they thought that Mr.. Noise had as
sumed rather more airs towards them than was
becoming in a person holding his situation.
This caused an ebulliency Of wrath within him,
which he poured out, lava hot, both upon the
committee and those they represent, in his fol-
lowing letter.
This letter is at issue of ovcrheated malig-

the beginning to the end Of it, a polished or re
