"At a meeting- of the city1 council held last night; the followingresolutions were offered by Councilman Wblfenden in re gard to an article that appeared in the New York Herald of June 5th: Whereas, An article appeared in the New York Herald of June 5th (copying from the American Messenger, in which Mrsr Louise SeymourrHoogh ton says: "The poor whites in our southern cities (and particularly mentions Newbern) are feeble of body, and as a general thing weak of mind, sodden with snuff through the uncleanly habit of dipping, not only utterly illiterate, but untrained to any useful employment. - For the girls of our southern cities there . is at present only one industryprostitution. They are too sluggish and dull-witted for factory work; they have' not perse verance enough for household work or sewing." Resolved, That we denounce the above as a base libd. Resolved, Thut, ia our opinion, tbe writer (who claims to be a ; southern woman, which in itself is a libel, for she is not asouthern woman) is either totally depraved herself, or is of unsound mind. If the first, she has our most profound contempt; if the last, our pity. Resolved, That a copy or tnese tpboiu tions be sent to the New York Herald nnd the. American Messenger, . audjfche Newberu Journal, t ' , -The -resolutions were adopted; '' Conn cilmen Wolfenden, Daniels, Watson, Har rison, Draney, (ireen, Johnson and Shep- ard voting " aye,'; and Councilman Sey mour voting "nay." ! " 'S:, t :, Mrs. - Houghton .being the aunt ' of Councilman Seymour and sister-in-law to the honorable mayor, they coufd not help but vote to down the resolutions, though knowing full well that the state ments made by Mrs. Houghton were ut terly false and without foundation. We are glad to see, however, that, the colored members of the board followed the dictates of their conscience and acted accordingly. . The Herald asserts that Mrs. Hough ton is a southern woman and sister to the late Judge Seymour, a Bouthern mage. The writer wishes to impress the read ers tnat Mrs. iiougnton is not a southern woman, and that the- late Judge Sey mour, though a judge in the southern court, was not a southern man, and for the information of the public would state that the late judge was what is termed a "carpet bagger," and hence his location mtniscity. As for the snuff dipping habit to which Mrs. Houghton refers, the habit is not half so prevalent as she alleges, nor as impure or uncleanly as the habit of using narcotics, the' fiends of which infest all the northern cities, especially New York. Surely there is room for missionaries in the north, w-'ii ' -'.ivv: "For the girls of our. southern cities there is at present only one industry- prostitution." Tnis is a most foul and base lie, utterly without foundation. The women of the south are the finest, purest and best in the world, and incom parably superior in every .particular to the women oi tne north. : The woman who wrote the vile slander so properly denounced in the above reso lutions, is in fact, of course, a woman of northern stocka northern woman. No true southern woman would be guilty of ever thinking, much less writing, such vile lies and slanders. Our southern cities, thongh containing much that is impure, contain less elements and less quantity of impurities than any cities in the world. Npw York, for instance, is far more in need of missionary work than all the southern cities combined. New York city alone has more dark, deeds, such as suicide and murders, the result of fallen humanity and prostitution, wickedness and iufidelity. than every city in the south. THE Fits v.
