The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-07-11

Perhaps the Christian volume is the theme.
How guiltless blood for guilty man was
shed
How HE, who bore i'll Heaven the second
name,
Had not on earth whereon to Law his
head:
How His first followers and servants sped.
The preccpts sage they wrote to many a
land
How he who lone in Patmos banished,
Saw in the sun a mighty angel stand;
And hoard great Bab'lon's doom pro-
nounc'd by Heavens command.

Their Parent-pair their secret homage paw
And profter up to Heaven tho warm re-.

That HE, who stills the ravens clam'rous

And decks the lilly fair in how'ry pride.
Would, in the way His wisdom secs the

For them and for their little ones pro-
vide;
But, chiefly, in their hearts with grace
divine preside.

a MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.

Here is what the Port Jervis, IN.
w. Evening Gazette has to say re-
garding the conviction, by christian
jury. Of d. NJ. Bennett, editor of the
New York Truth Seeker, on the
charge Of sending obscene literature
through the u. S. mails:
"A work named ''Cupid's Yokes" is
being extensively advertised through
Mr.. Comstock, the agent Of the So
ciety for the Suppression of Obscene
Literature. This work is sold by d.
M. Bennett, editor of the Truth Seek
or, and Mr.. Comstock had him arrest
ed for sending the books through the
mails, charging that it is objectiona Die
literature. We have not read the
book, but are told that there is no
obscenity in it., and that it contains no
passages more Objectionable than may
be found in any medical work or in
certain works popularity considered
of unexampled morality. MIR. Ben
nett's trial has been going on since
Tuesday before Judge Benedict in the
United States Circuit Court in New
York. There was one thing about
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1879-04-02

the trial which characterizes nearly
all cases in which men and women of
liberal ideas arc interested. and that
was the intense bigotry manifested by
the Judge. The only evidence which
the Judge permitted to be given was
on the side Of the prosecution. Every
point raised by the defense, every
question asked that would mitigate
the alleged ofense in the eyes Of the
jurymen, every effort to strengthen
tie defendants position was peremp-
torily "ruled out'' by Judge Benedict.
IL the daily reports of the New York
HsrdM were anything like the truth,
the whole proceeding was fare, and
tho case one of clear !. persecution.
The trial was characterized by the
same spirit that ruled in the case of
the Government against Susan B.
Anthony for offering to vote, and was
lie nearly all endeavors to enforce
cruel laws against individual liberty
and the freedom Of conscience. Talk
aOOut Justlce IN court OF law! The
courts in many cases are nothing but
the instruments for enforcing popular
prejudices. Instead Of being used to
protect the weak against the strong,
to guard the few from the expressions
Of the many. to defend the poor from
the power of the rich, encourage free
thought. free speech, free press and
personal liberty-instead ofdoing this,
they are the weapons used by wealth.
BY power, by popular OPINION by
bigotry, to suppress innovation-the
only means Of advancement-and to
keep the world in darkness. That is
the mission of many courts of JUS
2tice ca, If they ever had a different
use they have outlived them by years. -

Confederate veteran whose brain the excite
ments OF the trying times OF 81 to 65 had also
unsettled, and who like our bloodyshirters of

man is neither mad man or fool, but is play
ing his part faithfully in skilfully put up

ers will fight the measure on the ground that
the canal should receive the original compen-
the land with interest for
some forty years before they make the convey
ance. The commissioners will be guilty ofno
such Injustice. The property involved Is COW
cred by the buildings of Nattinger, Griggs,
Piergue and Lynch on Main street, and have
passey torough the hands of dozen innocent
purchasers since the original sale. The lot
was granted by the state to La Sale county
about 4j years ago toward building court
house, and sold by the county. If the legisla-
ture had no right to donate canal lands" Tor
anv purpose and the canal commissioners own
all the canal lands and lots never sold by the
canal board, there are thousands OF owners all
along the canal and in Chicago who will find
their titles under cloud.
