rIn the last Feliciana Wig we
notice the resignation of Mayor Car
man. In his letter to the board Of
Alderman he says:
Finding it 'npossible for me to
devote sufficient amount Of my time
to discharge properly, and I fear sat-
isfactorily, the duties incumbent on
me as Mayor @: the Town of Clinton,
without neglecting my private duties,
induces me to offer this, my resigna-
ton of said Office, which I desire to
take effect on the twentieth day
Of September next. :.
For the kind and gentlemanly
treatment I have received at your
hands while acting as your presid-
ing officer, you will please accept
my most sincere thanks and best wish
es for your future prosperity and bap-
piaess anil through you, l would
return my thanks to my fellow citi-
zens of Clinton. for having twice cleo
ted me to the Office I am now about to
resign. -.
Wherever, Carman goes, and what
ever he does must be crowned with
success. He is clever land. lord, a
popular public officer and a good
printer. He is the same ahible gen.
tleman in any and every character
called on to play in the panoramic
drama of life.

OFFICE HoLDMG.-The Office of
Chief Of Police for New Orleans, has
been abolished. The papers are full
Of the matter, and the propriety and
expediency, is being fully if not fairly
discussed. The True Delta came out
the other day with an article headed
The inutility Of a Mayor and sd-
duced plausible reasons for abolishipg
that Office. --.t
The curse of the whole republic is'
the number of siDecure Offices, Ma.
tional, State. and Municipal. There
are too many; they make Office hold
ing and Office seeking profession, and
idleness the qualification. Wherever
and whenever an Office is found to be
a mere siuecure, it isthe prerogative of
the power giving power, to abolish it,
and we'll might q number we wet Of,
be dispensed with.
The argument so frequently urged
in favor Of the candidate for office,
"that he has large family-is poor
and stands in need of the place" is
frought with the most serious evils to
the body polite. Every man should
have some occupation apart from Office
holding; and educate his children in
the belief that they must depend upon
their own native talent and industry
for support. Any other calling is
more hoas0raLle;; for when the whole
truth is unmasked, office holding is
made by the argument nothing else
than "pauperism" the reward ofidle-
ness and in many instances worthless
ness. How many Young Americans
there are, coming up around us who
are tolerated in idleness and the lack |
of an honest trade, under the impress
sion that they must be supported by
Office; is humiliating to think Of. But
it would seem that as society advances
in knowledge the number Of Offices in.
crease, instead Of diminishing, as they
should.
The people should be jealous of
their prerogative to create Office. If
men are to fill Offices because they
need them, and ill them for no other
reason than because the Office must
have "a head''-wbilst clerks are al
lowed out Of he public t,easurr, to do
the whole worh-If veteran Stagers
in political life, mast be provided
for; for the couutry's sake provide

nation, may not be directly taxed to
support drones, in society.
