On thelatter replying that he was doing his best, Pinault took him by the ear and shook him by that appendage. The boy pulled away, wbeu Pinault seized him again and young Ausent in dodging fell against some machinery and his head was injured so that ho was insensible for some time. The same day John Ells, the foreman, ordered an older brother of the injured boy, named Edolard Auueut, to clean out the water closet. On tho latter replying that that was not the work which he was employed to do, Ells took him to the water closet and kicked 1dm severely and put him into the filth he had been told to clean out. The matter has been put into tho hands of James M. Blade, and tho question will bo tried whether the employes of the cotton mill have any of tho rights of human beings. The above facts aro learned from Mr. Slado and from others conversant with the facts.We regret to say that evidence is accumulating which obliges us to recall our previously expressed beliet that tho employes of tho cotton mill are fairly treated, or fairly paid. Tho above cases are only specimens of what is reported in regard to their treatment. It may ho “business,” but It is hardly the kind of business to condutin a Christian community. How far the proprietors of the mill are cognizant of tho brutal conduct and language of their foremen wo cannot say, but they are in a fair way to learn through legalprop—ding*. If they do know of it, and permit it, comment is unnecessary. Wo shall hereafter under take to give full publicity to every case ot brutality toward to the cotton mill hands which may come to our knomledge. Any sensible man knows thatemployoa who are decently treated do not universally agree iu,denouncing their employers hs do the French bauds in tho cotton mill.uu mu wuiuutu ui 101; uiiu up in mehonors of drum major.
