New ORLEAEs, La, March %, 1867.
Wn. Il. C. King. Editor of the New Or
leans Tines, New Orleans, La.-Dear Sir
You have done me the honor to call for my
opinion relative to the action of the South
under the military BILL Having seldom
tsken any part in politics. do not feel well
qualified to advise On 30 momeatous a
question; nevertheless. as the same de-.
sire to obtain my views has been manifest
ed from various quarters, shall not
shrink from the responsibility of express
sing them, in the hope that they may tend
to quiet the public mind. SO justly alarm
ed st this moment. @
In my humble opinion, we have but one
Of two things to do-resist or submit the
6rst is inadmissible, in ouI painfully ex-
hausted condition. -Four years ola desper-
ats var have taught rs that the argument
of the sword" can no longer be resOrted
to By us 10 redress our grievances. We
must, therefore, submit: but with that
calm dignity becoming our manhood and
our lost independence.
Having been overpoWered in the late
struggle, we can submit to the hash and
ungeberous conditions of our conquerors
without dishOnor. and we must adopt the
least Of the two evils futile resistance
would only cause our Eivets to be driven
closer we must then acquiesce or leave
the country. But We love to dearly the
land of our birth to abandon it in its hour
of seYerest trial. We should avoid, also,
bringing it, by internal discussions, to the
condition of poor Mexico, and the unfortu-
nate South American republics.
With regard to the suffrage of the freed
men, however Objectionable it may be at
present, it is an element of strength for
the future. If properly handled and d.
rectsd, we shall defeat our adversaries with
their own weapons.
The negro in Southern born with lit
tie education and some property quali6ca-
tons, he can be made to take sufficient in
terest in the affairs and prosperity of the
South to insure an intelligent vote on his
part.
In the future political contests with the
North, on protective tariffs, internal i'm
provements, etc., the freedmen of the South
i. will side with the whites of the South and
of the West. and they will thus contribute
to give US back the influence We formerly
had in the councils of the nation.
Our people should understa nd that the
Radicals can remain in power only so long
as the public excitement is kept up; as
with the turbid waters of the Mississippi
river, the sedimentary particles are kept up
at the surface only so long as the waters
are in motion the instant the current is
checked those particles fall to the bottom.
Thus it viii be with the Radicals, when
peace and quiet are restored to the eoun-
try the Conservatives will then take the
reins into their own hands, aud the consti-
tutional laws of the land will once more pre-.
vail. remain yours,

As. M0CoED :-HsVing been requested
10 do 90. send yOu the following szplana-
ton Of solving all problems, Of the kind
Published in your paper Of the 2sd alt
OF eourss it matters not what the arti-
Cles bought may be we win suppose it to
be land.
The problem whea generalized Is IS fol-
lows: Let a be the whole number Of
acres bought; B the whole number Of dol
laEs paid by both; the whole amount B.
pays d the amount paid by A. per acre
more than B.
This general problem, when solved AL
RebFaicAlly, furnishes q formula, from
which, when changed insO words. We get
this
RULE.
Take the value at the given difference
per acre, from the whole amount paid for
the land aud cali the difference the ''re-
served remainder Multiply the afore-
said value at the difference in price, BY
four times the whole amount paid By him
Who paid least per acre TO the product
add the square Of the reserved remain
der - Of this sum extract the square root,
and TO If add the preserved remainder"
Divide the sum By twice the whole num-
Der of acres, and the quOtIent viii be the
price per acre paid By him who paid least
per acre.
The problem Of the 22d ult., is perfectly
fair. 20 which the following are the an
swers:
B. pays $50 2-34 per bushel. and gets
81 I-72 Bushels A. pays s1.o6 2-54 per
bushel. and gets g 8-s6 bushels, giving to
within less than two-one-thousanths of so
bushels.
Having, in all such questions, to extract
the square root Of a quantity which is not
q perfect square, there viii be an lntermin-
able fraction. The result may, however,
always be approximated to any extent.
When the difference in price, per article,
to be paid BY each, is given in the problem,
is fair /; when the actual price per article
is given. il is not fair. For example
a. and B. bought 600 sheep for $500,
each paying exactly $500. A. pays s1.75
per head, and B. s2.25. How many sheep
did each receive for his $500
Thus stated the question is absurd. It
may be made fair by surprising B. to pay
80 cents more per head more than A., and
may then be readily solved by the above
rule. G. G. R.

MEssRs. EDIToRs In the answer Of
the problem Of which gave solution, in
your last issue. SIS should have been 90,
it Was Sc cents, in the manuscript I sent
you. quote the following comment on my
solution from your last issue
Sd. n. c., loses sight of the problem
before be completes the solution, aud it is
therefore, incorrect. 10 the problem he
will see that A. is to pay $50. and B. $50
no more and no less. Now the question
is, how much wheat did each get for the
money paid respectively, and what price
did each pay ?''
In answer 10 the above comment, wish
to say that I respectfully differ with the
critic says, 81. NJ. C.s loses sight Of the
problem before he completes the solution,
and it is therefore, incorrect" In my
judgment, the problem is neither lost sight
Of nor incomplete the work is done and
the answer given. The critic then goes
on and says, ''he, J. u. c., will see that A.
is 10 pay $50, and B. S3O-no more and
no less" do not see in the problem that
A. is to pay $50, and B. $50, but see A.
paid $50, and B. $50, the past tense is
used, and when go on further in the
problem, see that A. agreed to pay ten
cents more per bushel, to get his of the
best. and from the problem this payment
is TO be made in dollars and cents, and not
in wheat as the critic would have it. Now
when We come to take 3 comprehensive
view Of the question, We ind that A. and
B. jOintly paid $50 for 50 bushels of
wheat, aud that upon a division of it, A.
agreed to pay ten cents more per bushel to
get his Of the best. Now who 10 this
payment to be made to the so bushels
has already been paid for, and the partaers
are now dividing the wheat between them
selves. It is manifest that A. is to nav
the firm of A. and B. this difference in dol
iars and cents to get the best wheat. The
critic then goes on to speak thus SHOW
the question is, how much wheat did each
get for the money paid respectively, and
what price did each pay 90 All this is
answered in my solution. A. gets go
bushels At si.0ec. per bushel, and B. gets
80 bushels at CSC. per bushel. I contend
that when the typographical error shove
spoken OF is corrected, my solution is cor
rect. In It all the requirements Of the prob
lem are complied with-no more aud no
less than so bushels Of wheat is considered
in my solution-Ro more and no less than
$50 is paid for the so bushels, aud the
difference in the price Of A. and BIS.
wheat is ten cents in the bushel. Whist
more is wanted to ill the requirements of
the problem. Respectfully,
