consider the education of every child
in the Stateas the chief object to be gained
Obstacles impeding the progress of efforts
looking to that end should be removed
and even personal aims and prejudices
should be set aside when the interests Of
public education can be promoted by SO
doing.
The proposition advanced by me con-
corning compulsory education, has been
misrepresented by the newspapers, and
consequently, misunderstood by the people
generally. 1t aimed at the adoption of the
principle that the welfare of each citizen,
and the good of the people at large, re-
quired that each child should be instructed
in the rudiment of common education, in
public schools or o'heraciSe, and that, in GER
tain cases, the State might use COM
pulsory measures to secure this end.
In word, the intention was to
adopt, in this State, the compulsory fea-
ture of public education which has ope-
rated so long and so successfully 10 Prus-
STA and other nations OF Europe, as well as
in some of the Northern States of our own
country.
To some this principle may seem cruel,
anti-Repuhlican and despotic, but in truth
it is one of true liberty, exalted statesman
ship and genuine benevolence.

State Superintendent of Public Education.

out that it would pay for the trouble to go
to Boudreau's. and other Grst-class places
over the way.
A ride to the Lake on the antedilnvian
old Pontchartrain road has been for years
regarded as a serious, if not dangerous trip,
and as a pleasure excursion is seldom
thought of twice. 1t is high time this city
were emancipated from this old monopoly
The route is inconvenient, the charges ex-
orbitant, the cars uncomfortable, the man
agement unenlightened and the who affair
a great bore, if not public nuisance.
The natural route to the Lake is by the
New Canal, on the lower side. The subject
Of constructing such a road has already at
tracted the attention Of capitalists, and we
learn that application will be made to the
Legislature next winter for a charter. A
well built track cut Delord or Julia street.
from some point near the levee, stocked
with new, clean cars, and with good en-
gines, properly managed would probably
receive liberal support
The fare should be ten cents each way
and not twenty-five cents, as by the old
road, unless the passenger returns the same
day by the same road. The lake end Of
the New Canal is by far the best point near
the city for a business place, 1t is nearest
to the commercial part of the city, affords
good harbor, and is already the centre of
the greater part of the lake trade.

LETTER OF HON. THOMAS w
CONWAY.

On Mixed Schools and Compulsory Edu
cation,
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In your issue of the fourteenth instant
there appeared a communication signed
Republican" in which am requested ia
give my views concerning mixed Schools
and Compulsory Education" -- s...
/ had hoped, since the election of General
Grant, to hereafter avoid public discussions,
yetit would seem as if your correspondent S
request should be complied with, especially
as the subject is one concerning which all
classes of citizens feel deep interest
1t has been alleged, and extensively be-
lteved that was inexorable in my desire
to have the constitutional provisions
on education enforced, even at the hazard
OF having no public schools whatever, in
the State; and some have undertaken to say
that it was my purpose, in case the children
of the State were not sent to public schools,
conducted on the mixed principle, TO 60
to their homes with an armed posse, seize
them, and bear them away by force. Some
creduleus persons have probably credited
this foolish fabrication, while Others,
knowing better, feigned to DO SO in or
der to serve some political or partisan end.
The constitutional provision in which mixed
schools are authorized, is one that has nv
Endorsement, though / have no doubt of its
impraeticability so long as the white popu-
lauon oil the State arrays itself almost
wholly against H.
That we can establish any schools for
coiored children and secure the voluntary
consent OF the white citizens of the State to
their continuance and support indicates a
degree OF progress which warrants the be-
llet that, IN a few years, those privileges
now either entirely denied. or held in
allegiance, will be fully enjoyed by All
citizens irrespective Of race or origin.
While every philanthropie mind in the
State would be pleased to see the same
rule Of justice applied to the public schools
that is adopted and pracdced in the courts.
at The ballot-box, and in the holding of
Office, do not doubt their willingness to
forego that pleasure for the satisfaction Of
seeing the children of the commonwealth
Of all races and conditions educated.
Ii portions Of my theory of an educa-
tonal system are deemed unwise at this
time / would have them appropriately
modified. If those who pay most Of the
taxes for the support Of schools desire
different system from that which / would
nave put in operation would pay due re-
gard to their wishes, but the interests and
wishes Of The people should be held as
paramount TO all other considerations.
And II the white children Of the State
would all remain away from the public
schools, because Of the presence Of colored
children in them, thereby giving 10 the
latter class the exclusive benefit ol the
public school funds, would deem It best
70 have separate schools for the children Of
each race, ill such time as public sentiment
will tolerate the presence Of both under
the same roof and 10 the same appaftment.
Mature delibefation will, 1t seems to me,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-11-19
RATHER WORRYING TO THEM,

The disorderly characters in and around
Ponchatoula having heard of the brilliant
exploits of their friends in Claiborne parish
and in Alexandria in the newspaper smash
ing business, have felt rebuked that they
should have permitted few numbers of a
loyal paper to appear in their community
without acting with becoming vigor.
In order to make up for lost time, they
began at once to look for the printing
Office but so far have been unable to find
it. The editor, who chances to be the
Mayor of Pouchatoula, thus assists them
in the search:
A great many curious individuals are al
most distracted because they can not find
out where our Office is, and unless
some relief is afforded soon, it is
feared the parish will be at The
expense of buTying some of them mas
much as they will die Of anger Gentle
men, cur cliiCC is at Ponchatoula, but our
types and presses are where you will not
destroy them as your Khan is in the habit
Of doing in other localities. When you be-
come sufficiently civilized to be trusted
with a printing Office we will show you
one. We will wait while and watch the
current opinion.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-11-19

The REPUBLICAN SAYS that the Democratic
party of Louisiana think that they nave a
natural right 10 the Offices. Well, that is
lust what they think, simply because there
is no other party in Louisiana than the
Democratic party. The Democratic party
are the people Of the State - the whole
people and they, and they alone, have q
right to say who shall fill the offices, and
who shall administer the laws. There is
a small squad of carpet baggers who call
themselves the Republican party, bnt as
they number only 265 in the city Of New
Orleans, and not more than thousand in
the whole State, their claim to considera-
ton is simply ridiculous. Moreover, they
are the enemies of the State and Of the
people, and they are so regarded by the
public. They are intruders, who came here
for no other purpose than TO Cypress and
annoy the community. 1t may be dis
agreeable to them to know that their reign
is coming 10 an end, but it is a fact never
theless. Crescent.
We presume the above was written in a
spirit of jest by way of consolation for the
doleful Democracy of our State. If so it is
a very fair specimen of humorous litera-
ture, and might excite a smile even under
the ribs Off. p Blair, Jr,
But if it was written seriously,
we beg to inquire what has become
of the sixty-six thousand voters
who adopted the new Constitution in
April last? Have they all been murdered
except zone thousand" and are the Demo-
erats for that reason The only people of
our State? Where and who are the thirty
five thousand voters who cast their ballots
for Grant on the third of this month. Are
the reconstruction laws, and the fourteenth
amendment, and the new constitution of
our State nothing9
The fact lis, and the Crescent knows it
quite well, that the Republican party in
Louisiana is to-day larger in numbers than
ever before. In every parish where peace
and order prevailed prior to election, its
maiorites for Grant were large. Witness
st. Charles, St. James, st. John Bap-
fist, IberVille, Terrebonne, Tensas, Madi.
son, Concordia, Carroll and Others too nu-
merous to repeat Where Republicans |
have been freely murdered, and Republi-
can presses destroyed, there are large
majorities fer Seymour. We should sup
pose that decent Democrats would blush at
such result; but that is their affair and |
not ours.

THE HOMER ILIAD,

Blackburn will not die.
He insists on publishing that Had just as
long as he sees fit, and the chances are he
will do it. He is something like the tabled
giant, who increased in strength each time
he was thrown to the earth.
He published an advertising supplement
on a neighbours press, and says:
To WHOM IT MAY CoNcERN.-Our Office
has again been mobbed-this time entirely
ruined--so that we are only able for thu
present, with the courtesy and assist,
ance Of our neighbors of the AdyocQte
office, to issue a supplement or ad-
Vertising sheet. This will enable us
to fulfill all our contracts and obligations
of an official character until it shall be
definitely decided whether a freeman, in a
free county, shall be permitted to publish
free and outspoken newspaper, secure
from the spoliatlons Of outlaws and assas-
Fins. Meantime, we call upon all good
men to sustain us in the right, and trust our
friends will not forget us in the matter of
our legal dues. We know our rights and
knowing, shall maintain them. And we
will be assisted, if necessary by all the
powers OF this great Government.

Whereas, his Excellency, the President of
the United States. has set apart Thursday,
November rs, 1868, as day Of thanksgiving
and praise to the Supreme Ruler of the uni
verse for his manifold blessings to the crea.
lures of earth:
Now, therefore, I, Il. G. Warmoth, Cover
nor of the State of Louisiana, do proclaim
the same day to be observed as day of
thanksgiving to the Almighty for His mer-
cies to US in the past, and of prayer that
He may continue His bounties to us in the
future. .
And do especially recommend to the
good people of the State, that in view of our
freedom from pestience during the past
season, the prospective abundant harvests,
the peaceful issue of our national political
contest, and the comparative state of peace
and quiet which nov reigns within our bor-
ders, they abstain from their ordinary avo-
cations upon that day. and repair to their
usual places of worship, and ascribe to Him,
the giver of all good gifts, all the praise.

VOTES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES,

After a Presidential election it is inter.
esting to look at the votes cast in the large
cities. 1t is not an exact list of population
but "a fair basis for an estimate, except in
Cities like New Orleans, where riots and
Intimidation prevented a full vote. In
Boston, for instance, a man is required to
read and write before he can vote at all
We're such registration enforced in some
OF the other large cities, it would disfran-
chise thousands of Democrats. 1t would
give the vote OF New York to General
Grant. In some cities, as St. Louis, there
is large colored population, none Of
whom vote. But We append the figures,
leaving our readers 10 draw conclusions
There are at lea ten thousand more col
Ored people in st, Louis than in Cincinnati
and that population does not appear in the
vote. The following table will prove an

COMMUNICATION WITH LAKE PoEToHAR
TRAIN,

We hope to see, at no distant day, irst-
class railroad, supplied with cars suitable
for passengers, constructed between the
city aud Lake Pontchartrain. The old
concern that runs out on Elysian Fields
street has never given satisfaction to any
body except the directors and stock
holders. 1t was built when the rail-
Foad interest was in its infancy, and
stocked with inferior cars, difficult
of access, and since made dirty and rickety
by time and long use. A popularity Of
these cars is the single flight Of stairs from
the platform, 50 built, as It is alleged, that
visitors to The lake shall come out on the
side next the company's hotel, and thus Sc
cure their patronage for that establishment
by passengers who may not wish to walk
around the train TO 80 10 The superior res
tanrants on the other side.

suited so successfully as lis Inventors
hoped 1t would The people soon found
