THOS. ]. MANGHAM,
Female Editors.

The Claiborne Guardian has been
asked why there are not more lady
authors and editors aud. without at
tempting to answer the question, 1t
submits it TO "some of our exchanges"
At the same time. howeve.', it shows
very plainly that i, will not receive as
a satisfactory answer 'be old, worn
out, silly aud unga!Ian. assertion that
"it is for lack Of brain" -......
The Guardian is right, and proves
itself correct by mentioning the tact
that some of The finest poems ard
works of prose are the productions Of
ladies. As we have repeatedly as
serted, woman is not intellectually in
ferior 10 man and the man who says
40 has no facts to back his assertions.
The only difference in their. intellect
ual productions is, that of The woman's
is generally more delicate, Poeticai and
cbaste in style but even this differ
eucc is not always observable. Then
why is it that there are not more fe-
male authors anG-editors!
The Guardian knows no reason
more than that it is not The custom of
the country. That is one reason, but
not the only one. Woman's Dutural
modesty restraints Der far more than
custom. Custom and tradition makes
her dependent on man, mentally and
physically. and her modesty influences
her to accept the situation. although
she knows full well that she is men,

ed, and who. presuming upon their
sex. complaceutly take position above
her and it is often the case that the
most exalted gifts lie thus concealed
until the fair possessor is forced by
stern necessity to throw off this be-
coming veil and let her brilliant intel
lectual light shine upon the world
And IL want never threatens her, bel
wonderful powers perhaps lie dormant
forever. o.. .'ss. o..
This in our opinion one. Of the mos
lovely traits of the female character

field of letters; while want Of self

Bot these would not be so much II

Pardon OF w. Il. Barrow.

In May last, w. H. Barrow, of New
Orleans. was tried and convicted Of the
crime Of bigamy in the District Court
sitting at Monroe, and was sentenced
by Judge Parsons to pay fine Of $500
aud be Imprisoned two Years in the
parish Jail. An appeal was taken TO
the Supreme Court. on bills of excep-
tion retained by the counsel. Richard
son 4 McEnery by whom Barrow was
ably defended in the lower court. The
judgment Of Judge Parsons was af-
iirmed, and Barrow went to Jail TO
satisfy the sentence Of lbe law, where
he remainrd until few days ago
Notwithstanding a weII-planned effort
TO eScape-when he received pardon
from Governor Wiliz, granted upon
the recommendation of Lieut.. Gov.
McEnery and Attorney General Egan.
Barrow was married some years ago
TO a lady near Selma. Ala. by whom
be bad two or three children. He
reached New Orleans, pursuing his
calling as u printer. Mrs. Barrow re-
naming behind. In New Orleans be
net an tstimable Young lady Of this
parish. then at school in that city, and
formed an acquaintance with the young
lady, who was wholly unsuspectng
and coniidlng, which terminated in
marriage They lived together hap
PLY. it appears, until. y -ome chance.
The first marriage of Barrow became
known to the young ladv's family,
when the legal proceedings we're beguu
which resulted in Burrows trial and
conviction.
The Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and Attorney General are. doubtless,
possessed of more aud better infOrma-
ton respecting BarrOw's claims to a
pardon than are we. If they have any
Information whatever CT tina. charac-
ter, it is more than we have. 1t is
something to differ with three such
high functiOnaries,. but the Telegraph
does differ with them and that very
widely. An Executive pardon ought
to be predicated upon at least u pre-
sumption of innocence, but the proof
of Barrow's guilt was plain, positive
and convincing. Bench, bar. jurors
aud spectators were all alike convinced,
if we are not mistaken in what we
heard during the trial and since We
do not expect that the Governor will
give Us bis reasons for this exerci,' Of
Executive clemency; but society light
demand to know bow q bigamist can
ask and receive it, That question we
are unable to answer-and skip it
Ouachita Telegraph. .......
We join the Telegraph in this pro-
test against such latitude being taken
in the exercise of the pardoning pow
err. There should be- some presumption
Of innocence or paliating circums,au-
ces before convicted criminal is par
doued and turned loose upon society ;
and there seems to be no doubt as to
this mans guilt, while there can be
no paliating circumstances in case
of this kinda crime against society
and the peace and happiness Of faui.
lies that should be punished to the full
extent of the law.
