RomanIsm Reforming.
N. O. Christian Advocate. ]


Our Roman Catholic neighhor, the
Morning Star, uf last week contain
G. an elaborate editorial on the de
crees of the late Plcnary Council.
Since they have received the Pope. 5
sanction and have been officially
promulgated, they of course become
the law bv which the faithful are
to he guided. We quoted last week
the decree ON the subject of the sale
If Intoxicating liquors. The mem
beers engaged in that business were
exhorted to seek other more honora-
BILE employment, or falling in that
were commanded to close their
houses on the Sabbath day. Com
menling on that decree the Morning
Star savs:'
The duty of Catholics is therefore plain
i'm this matter The citizens of this city
are practically the lawmakers. As law
makers they are bound to provide laws
tor the essential good of the common
wealth. Now the very life OF Christian
commonwealth is worship and what APP
pertains to worship. Ii is our duty there

low Christians to have our grogshops, sa-
looms, beer gardens ct hoe genus omRe,
closed on the Lords Day. Always pro
vided that they abstain from those wild
and Impractical schemes which is so COM

leaders.

in this field OF moral reform the
priests and faithful" Of the Roman
Catholic Church. Ii they can be
induced to obey in letter and spirit
the injunction IT the Plenary Coun
ell and the Holy Father" the days
of the iniquitous liquor traffic in
this country are ut an end. Possibly
seven -pigh,s of the saloOn-kccpers
in the Unitcd States are directly
connected with that church. So if
| the church condemns the traffic its
support is tUre> er gone. We would
| have much preferred for the council
to have made y positive, uncondi-
tional dcliverance on the iniqulty
and enormity of the traffic. In
stead of eXhorting it should have

church that she will in any sense or
in any instance officially tolerate the
CRYING evil. Her affairs and canons
should be free from such shame.

Among the noted persons who
formed the background of the pic
ture behind Mr.. DAVIS when he
spoke from the capitol steps at
Montgomery, was Miss Letilia Tv-
Ter. She is lady of rare culture,
and her historic figure has etched
around it several unique Incidents.
She is a grand daughter of Presi
dent Tyler, and is the only person
ever born at the White House. Her
hand 20 years ago pulled the cord
that hoisted the first Confederate

Acqulttal OF Jim Case.

In January, 1881, James Wooten,
living near Wesson, was assassinat-
ed in the day time, very near his
own house There was no. clue to
the perpctrator Of the deed. Abou t
one month after the killing, Jim
Case, Il young man Of some 20
years of age, left for Catalonia par
ish, La, accompanied by Geo. Viii
son, about the same age. Last fall
George Wilson returned from Lou
i,iana and informed the officers here
that Case told him he was the per
son who killed WoOteu. Sheriff Har-
grave went over t. search for him,
but failed TO fad him. He was at
terward arrested by Tie sheriff OF
that parish and placed in Jail. Dep
uty sherlfs Jesse Thompson and
John Lowe went over and brought
him back here, placing him in Jail.
On the way he confessed that he
helped TO make the slugs, and that
Wooten was killed oy Sandelspn
Case, an uncle of the prisoner. He
! (JIm Casc) was Put on trial Wednes
day, which lasted ill Friday night.
A great number Of witnesses were
I'cxamined and the testimony was
damaging to both Jim Case and
Sanderson Case, the latter being q
witness for defendant. On
Saturday morning the jury returned
a verdict Of not guilty and the pris
oner was discharged, as was also
Sanderson Case, who had been
placed in Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury Monday morning.
We have 20 criticism to make up
on the jury; but the Impression is
general that one or both were guilty
of the murder of Wooten, and if the
jury had even agreed to q mistrial
Sandcrson Case could have been ar.
raigned am the truth of the whole
matter would have come out.-Ha
