When our planters once more res
gain a position of independence and
ease, then can we meet the immi-
grnnt with the one argnment-that
of local prosperity and success. The
settlement of our State would then
follow as a matter of course, and all
trades and ca!lings deg upon n
large and fioUrishing agricultural
community would reach their highest
development.-Truth.

The petition of the undersigned cit
liens of the Parishes Of Tensas and

nj District, with respect represent
that Wade II. Hough, who was elect
ed Judge Of the said District at an

ments thereof, is guilty of malfeas-
ance in office; of incompstcncy and

That the said Wade Fl. Hough is

part of his time in the pursuit of
white and colcred prostitutes and the
indulgence of his lecherous habits
and passions, to the scandal of all
good citizens, and that the said
Hough has become so notorious in the
Indulgence of said habits, that his
manner has become offensive to all
decent and we'll conducted females,
and his presence in their society an
insult.
Wherefore. the premises consider
ed, petitioners pray that a suit be in

having at length succeeded in wrest-

Affairs at Rosalie Cotton Mills

An occurrence took place In eur
neigh boring city of Natchez, on Tues
day last at the Rosalie Cotton Mills,
which gave rise to a great deal of vir-
tuous indignation among all the good
citizens.
1t seems that man by the name OF
s. Odenheimer, employed rs Secreta-
ry of the mill, made felonious as
sault upon one of the female opera
tives, ,nhi Office. She gave the
alarm which Immediately brought
several to her aid.
The excitement became so great
that 1t was with difficulty the police
could prevent lynching. They how

Next morning his fIlends asked

and he could have had as many law

was granted, and Squire Parsons re-
ferred the case to committee of the
fellows friends, mem bers Of the Board
OF Directors of the Cotton Mills; we
suppose they will act as branch of
the Justices Court, having power to
sit from dav to day as long as they
please. That committee has already
announced to the people that Oden-
hemer denies every thing. How
strange that felons deny tEier guilt,
how many convictions would our
Courts have If they waited for crimi-
mails to plead guilty. 1t is reported
that some of his friends have stated
that the female is "nothing but fac

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

There Is one important point OF diff
ference between the movement in New
York for the opening of the museums
and libraries there on Sunday and the
movement in this city to bring about
the Sunday opening of the Smithsonian
Institution, the National Museum, the
Congressional Library and the Botanical
Garden. We pointed out some days
ago that the business men Of New York
and citizens generally have expressed
themselves in favor of the movement.
Now the ministers of that city have
taken the matter up, and, as n rule. an
nounco from their pulpits that it would
be a very good thing. OF the many
ministers who have expressed them.
selves on the subject all but one or two
have advocated the innovation in order
that the people may avail themselves
OF the pleasure and profit to be derived
from ii. None of them have said that
such n course would be desecraton of
the Lords Day.
The Evangelical ministers in this
city, however, hold different views on
the question, and we are told that they
have formed an organization looking
toward n strictcr observance of the
Sunday laws with the special objects
of opposing the opening on the Sabbath
of the public institutions where
knowledge and pleasure may be assim-
Hated at the same time. They take the
ground that to open the National
Museum, the Botanical Garden, the
Congressional Library and the Smith
sonial Institution, TO sell newspapers
on Sunday and to hold sacred concerts
would constitute dissertations of the
day.
AS to concerts and newspaper selling
and other secular occupations in this
connection, we have nothing to say
here, but we differ from our ministe.
rial friends about the opening of the
institutions mentioned. TIE Critic
broached the movement in the first
place to secure that end, and has from
time to time advocated it vigorously.
But when the ministers say construct
lively at least that THE CRITIC advises
Sabbath desecration, we beg leave to
interpose an objection. Instead of en-
deavoring to encourage irrcligious rec
reations or anything to detract fiom the
obligations of the Sabbath, we are
working in a direction to prevent these
very results, and if the clergy will
only look at the matter from liberal
standpoint they will see it in the same
light
We have reason to believe that the
majority of the people composing the
congregations of the churches in thi,
city would tell their pastors that open
ing the public institutions under dis
cussion would, instead of increasing a
Sabbath breaking spirit, go far, very far
toward checking it, opportunities fol-
enjoyment and improvement that dc
not now exist would be afforded, ani
tendencies to idleness and dissipation
proportionately done away with. The
proper way to view such movements i
rather from the broad standpoint of lib
eral progress, and not through
narrow loopholes of asceticism oil
strict Biblical Interpretation.
