A Reasonable Appenl,

TO he Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: Permit me through the medium of
your paper to call the attention of the city au-
thOritics to the fact that our public parks,
especially Iowa Park, are infested with class
of beings in the shape of men vino congregate
there every evening both white and colored,
plant Themselves in the most public places,
and, by their loud, profane, and vulgar lam
guaGe, cause parents to feel 10th to permit
their children to go there at all. have heard
language used in Iowa Park that would put
the blush of shame on the face of II bar-rOOn
loafer, this, too, in the presence of ladies and
many young and innocent children. aud have
been compelled to leave the park with my
family in consequence of 1t.
Is there no remedy for this? If there is let
it be stringently applied; if not, let one be
made A FATHER.

Il BROKEN PLEDGE.
Senator Morgan's so1 sued for Breach
.Pro,ntae.


Senator Morgan's so1 sued for breach Of
Promise.
Colonel William A. Cook and Mcasrs. Shells-
barger & Wilson. as counsel for Miss Lucy
Walton Rhett Horton, yesterday entered suit
against John II. Morgan for breach Of promise
of marriage, and $4,000 damages. The plain
tiff ayers that ON April 2, 1877, at Selma, Ala,
she entered into contract with the defendant
to marry in October Of the same year that
she was ready at the tmc to fulfil her part Of
the agreement, but that Mr.. Morgan refused
and continues TO refuse to keep the contract.
From all the information obtainabe in regard
TO the matter, IL seems that Senator Morgan,
Of Alabama, father of the defend
ant, and tho father of the complainant
were law partners at one time in
Alabama, which partnership was dissolved
by the death of Mr.. Horton. In this manner
the children became acquainted. In 1877 the
defendant to this suit showed marked attcn-
ton to Miss Horton, which eliminated in an
engagement to marry. While occupying this
relation to each other, 1t is said that he took
advantage of her confidence and betrayed her,
and after that he refused TO keep the marriage
compact. Unfortunately for the orphan girl,
then seventeen years Of age, there were no male
members of the family to compel the seducer
to make all the restitution within his power
for the wrongs committed, aud he resisted all
the appeals of the young girl to save and pro-
tect her from shame and exposure. Recourse
was taken to the law, aud there is now an in
dictment pending against him in Alabama for
seduction. Miss Horton came here to see II
something could not be done in her behalf, aud
after consultation she decided to enter the suit
for breach of contract. She has numerous let
tiers and other evidence to support her case, and
her counsel promise to produce testimony of q
damaging character against the defendant

A Tribute of Respect to Justice DIN.


Considering that it is the .ason of the year
the gathering at the Circuit Court room yes
terday morning of the members Of the ba to
testify their esteem and admiration for the
late Justice Olin might well be called a large
assemblagc.

to order. Hon. Justice Andrew Wylie was
chosen chairman and Mr.. Reginald Fendall Sec
rotary.
Mr.. Bradley ID that inasmuch as the re.
mains of justice O!in had been taken to his
birthplace for burial, and the Supreme Court

Monday in next September, there WAS no me-
cessity for any immediate action to be taken
He made a notion which WAS adopted, that n
committee of seven be appointed to draft suit
able resolutions and report the same at IN ad-
journcd meeting to be held on the fourth Mon
day in September next.
The chair appointed, as the committee,

esq; r. 4. Merrck esq; William, b. Webb, esq =;
james q. Payne, esq; John 4. Ennis, esq, aud

ACTION OF THE PROBATE COURT.
When the time for opening the Probate
Court arrived the presiding judge was absent.
Mr.. James S. Edwards announced to the Reg
lister the death Of Justice DIN, and suggested
that in respect to his memory the court ad-
journ. Register Webster, with considerable
feeling, remarked that Justice Olin had pre-
sided over that court for many years winning
not only the respect of all tho attaches of it,
but the esteem of all those doing business
with it, and he should act upon the motion
made, aud thereupon adjourned the court un.
