A Reverend Libertine.

up this morning before Gas yustice Murray On
ored girl, was arrested at the instance OF Rev.
Alfred Loutrel. Of 1872 West Twenty.f1fth street
who charged her With Annoying p and trying
the police station, and during the night she be-
came very despondent and attempted to commit
suicide , by l hanging herself t2 the door Of her
in time to save r life. The girl was taken to
court this morning, when. with great reluc-
tance, she told the following story;
About two years ago went to live with Mr..
Loutrel as a servant and one night, after had
been there about month. he took me out of my

last week. when. without any reason, Mr.. Lou

me s.. Believing chat had been cheated BY the
ter. and he had me arrested"
The girl wept bitterly while telling the story.
Rev. Mr.. Loutrel. who is a tai. clerical looking
white. haired man, about sixty years of age.

Of young ladies' under his charge He did not
deny the main points in the girls story but
thought u that as he had paid her that was suffi-
cient. lie refused to say in what families he
was teaching. and declined to talk about any
thing but the case before the court.
Justice Murray. who had now become very in
dignant, told Mr.. Loutrel that he was mon
ster. and pest, and deserved to be publicly
whipped and thrown out of the community.
He was very sorry that he had not the power to
give him his deserts. The girl was discharged
and left the court W ih the sympathy of all pres
ent. The justice then ordered the reverend
gentleman out of court As he left, n number
of the spectators hissed him. He dropped his
head and walked meekly away.

Make Laws tor Themselves

NEW YORK. Feb. 24-A meeting of the four
sections of the Socialis,ic party was held this
morning, and lasted for several hours. The
room was decorated with national flags. and the
red flag of the commune was prominently dis
played.
object OF the meeting was to enter protest
against tho proposed repeal of the lien laws
but the resolutions offered by Louis Huck went
much further. They declared that it was the
opinion of the party that q State, and If neces-
sary q National Labor Bureau should be formed
and that more protection should be given to the
rights of free speech.
test was made against the existence Of the Ma
tional Guard and the existence Of armories in
any city. The resolutions were adopted with
considerable applause. and ordered to be sent to
Washington. to Gov. Robinson and both houses
Of the Legislature.
A short address was made In German. after
which Isaac Bermelt, who was announced as
belonging to the Workiugmen's party. made
length and highly in flammatory speech. He de-
claTed that both political parties were opposed
to them. and If they wanted iut tce they must
band together and mako laws for themselves.
If 1t was decided to do this they would have
help from the workingmen both in Germany
and France.
Congress. he said, might make laws. but they
could not restrain the people from breaking
them. Referring to the National Guard of the
State andEhe armories in the cities, he declared
that they should be abolished. They were only
established to protect capital and to intimidate
the Workingmen. Only let, the army be abol-
ished and labor would make such n move az
would insure its rights and render it equal with
capital.

ness was Of a routine character

The Press and the Legislature.

1t is very painful duty that the press is
sometimes called upon to discharge, to dis
agree with and condemn the course of the
chosen servants Of the people; and it is all the
this with q Legislature from which we had
right to ex pect better things. In the Senate, on
the 18th inst. the question OF the removal Of the
ca pital to Baton Rouge being under considera-
tion. after stating few very good reasons for
its removal Mr.. GOOde said
Further than this. he would free b. imself by
the removal Of the capital from tho wholesome
influence Of the press. He did not think that
the General Assembly had been assisted much
and he failed to notice that the press discussed
the question, under consideration by the FL use
or Senate with the candor and charity he would
like to see He had seen men denounced by
name. and the members OF the General Assem-
