AMERICAN THEATRE.-Spte of The immense

| NEW YORK, Feb. q, 1919.
Eds. CreScent-The New York Observer, religious pa
per OF enlarged VIEWS great influence and extensive ccu
ation, contains article slavery which, my estima.
tOn embodes the sentiments of the great majority of the
Northern people who have given the subject degree OF
consideration The writer lays down five propositions,
which he proceeds to establish ser,attn and he does it
| solidy, too They are as follows:
l. Our Southern brethren not responsible for the
| gin of the evll-(slavery.)
g. 1t is not easy to get rid of the evil, suddenly
Our Southern brethren have done more to get rid of the
evil than could have been reasonably anticipated
Christ and his Apostles did not denounce or tate the
STAKEHOLDER.
The Bible method of dealing with slavery and slave
holders is the best method.
In confirming the third proposition he says The census
shows that there are as the result OF voluntary
cpaon in little Delaware, l4OoO free blacks. more than
veAths of the whole negro population of that State in
Maryland 81 00 free blacks, nearly onehaf of the
population Of that State in Virginia, so 600 free blacks
in Louisiana 250OO and in all the savehodng States
25OOO free blacks, whose value slaves the moderate
estimate of $500 EACH would be more than sl0O OO-
more than the boosted f2 900 which Britain paid for
the of her West India neproes-more than the
aggregate of the State debts of the whole sayehodng
ton of the Union'
An article like this serves great public end and works
a great public good as many who read aboltoust effu
sons and feel their radical error want facts to oppoe tn
their specuatons and to satisfy their that the
STAKEHOLDER may be egiousy right in his claims to exemp
ton from all agitation of the subject This writer appeals to
no preudces or passions and enters into no heightened ar
gumenaton in excuse of one section or incubation of an
other but simply eondenses into the space of half newspa
per column all the facts necessary to his obect-the estab
shment of each position that he had taken.

The Louisiana State Bank.

Messrs Henry Duffied P. S.Wiltz, and Adophe
Dupre, stockholders of the Louisiana State Bank,
have made application to the Second District Court
for writ of quo uarrdnto to the present directors
of that bank, to show cause why the election by
which they hold their places should not be declared
void and new election ordered. They state that
the certificate Of election was never made out by
the commissioners, but by tn cashier, without
authority that the present directors had nominal
majority of the votes cast but that they were not
legally elected but were elected by large number
of votes given through proxies held by Samuel j.
Peters, James Robb, w. p Converse, and others
many of which votes were protested against as not
given by or for bona fde stockholders, and in many
cases where the pretended stockholders were in the
city, and should have appeared and made cath OF
their being stockholders, dc. The writ was issued
and the case will be set down for early hearing.
By-the-by, in connection with this controversy,
there is part of tile law OF 1912, " revivirg the
charters of the banks in this STATE which may
have an important baa..ng upon tbs case ; il is in
the following words:
"That from and after he Both Of September next,

INuNDATIoN-Yazoo Riuer.-The jewellers all

At this point the water is rising very rapidly, and
so as far above as we have heard from. 1t is now
within one foot of the hgh-water mark of AZ, and
that year the rise was only three feet under the
highwater-mark of '2s, when all of southwestern
creation was deluged.
