THE LITERARY CLUB.
The Subject Of Lynch Law is Dis.
cussed by Essayist and Members.

The eseayist held that lynching was never
justiflable He even deprecated the New
Judge McGowan led the discussion, and
fully endorsed the sentiments Of thesessayist
He thought the act of lynching was blot
on the good name and order OF Il conmu-
Thos. P. Cothran, Esq, held that for of:
fepses against women. lynchinS WAS not only
VIC. MCGOWAN, Esq, thought the New
Orleans lynching was justitiable. He thought
that the lynchers would have discharged
their duty better If they had lynched Inc

Mr. Benet concurred in the views cx.
pressed by Mr.. Cothran, and said he would
have no hesitation in Joining lynching
the mob seldom or never engaged in Il lynch
ing Lynchings were usually led by the
council and encouragement OF safe leaders.
Mr.. Lee thought that, Theoretically, the eS'
sayist was eminently correct, but that there
was higher law-the law OF self-dcfncc-
which authorized or sanctioned lynchnS ia
certain cases. In the case OF the New Orleans
lynching, it was simply a question as to
who should rule the city-the lawies society
of aliens which plotted assassination, or
the peaceful law-abiding citizens Of the coun-
try. He had no doubt OF the duty OF the peo-
pie of New Orleans.
Others participated in the discussion, but
at present this scribe cannot recall their
positions.
lynch law, the fact was developed that a
majority of the club were disposed to think
there were occasions when resort might be
had to Judge Lynch.
Refreshments were served. Mr.. Benet was
appointed next eSSayiist, with Walter l..
Miller, ESQ, as alternate. Club adjourned.
