Parson Conway, in a letter published in
Thursdays Republican, takes occasion to say
that he yields to the public opinion of the
State in the matter of separate schoolhouses
for the two races, for which, of course, the
people will be duly thankful to Parson Con-
way. Nevertheless, they cannot help asking
how it is that this functionary whistles his
'sacramental Constitution down the wind with
SO much unconcern. Perhaps the vote on the
Sd of November had something to do with
this sudden Difference to public opinion, and
this remarkable obliviousness of constitu-
tional obligations. When he was melting the
carpet-bag Legislature to pass laws which, if
an attempt had been made to enforce them,
would inevitably have resulted in disastrous
collisions, he did not exhibit any respect for
public opinion, or any of that tender regard
for the interests of education which
he now manIfests. 1t is gratifying,
however to find that, even at
this late day, he has consented to take into
his calculation very important element
which the New England method eliminates
as a superhuous quantity from all political
and social problems-the character, and
opinions, and wishes of the people whom the
problem concerns. As to Parson Conway's
nonsense about compulsory education, it is
scarcely worth the trouble of serious refuta-
ton. Indeed, it would be quite useless to
discuss with man who is educated in the no.
ton that liberty consists not in letting men
conduct their own affairs as they please, SO
long as they do not infringe on the equal
rights of others, but in laying down some
general theory of conduct and compelling
men to conform to it. Rightly considered,
the compulsory system which is theological
evolution of New England thought. and which
New England carries into every department of
sociology-is the elimination of tyranny and
despotism, and it has been so tegarded by all
the great apostles of liberalism from Adam
Smith to Herbert Spencer.

PAssPORTs.

Persons contemplating a visit to any
foreign country, and more especially to Cuba
will do well to read the following circular
letter received from Mr.. Seward at the Office
of the person acting as secretary of state of
Louisiana 1t will be seen that Mr.. Seward
warns the public against persons representing
themselves as passport agents" in the vari-
Gus seaports of the country. These persons
have no authority whatever and the certii-
Gates which they issue, even when rised by
the Spanish consul, are rejected in Cuba.
The only passports sure to be recognized
seem to be those issued by the secretary of
state at Washington, and travellers can be
sure of avoiding trouble only by making their
applications there
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, Sept. 4, ls6S. (
Official notice has been received at this depart.
ment that the Spanish authorities of the Island Of
Cuba have adopted q new regulation concerning
passports. That regulation requires all paesen-
gers arriving at the ports of that island TO present
authentic official passports properly vised by
the Spanish consul in the ports of departure, and
that IN case OF passengers failing to exhibit such
passports so required, they will not be permitted
TO land without compliance with special cOndi-
tons, which will be found very inconvenient ia
many cases and impossible in others. Notice has
been received at this department that the papers
supporting to be issued by the mayor OF New
Orleans and vised by the Spanish consul there are
rejected under the aforementioned regulations
Notice has also been received that persons resi-.
ding in the United States seaports, who call them
selves passport agents." are in the habit Of
giving certificates in which it is stated that they
have applied TO the department of state for pass
ports, and that those certificates being vised by
the Spanish consul, presented as passports in
Cuban ports and are rejected there under the
came regulation aforementioned.

The Republican persists in maintaining
that the negroes do constitute portion of
the political community of Louisiana, be-
cause they have been endowed with the power
of voting by the Congress of the United
States. That is begging the question at
issue. We deny that the Congress of the
United States has any right to make voters
in the State of Louisiana; we deny that the
negroes have any legal right to vote in this
State--using the word legal in its larger and
constitutional sense. If they have any such
right, it is a natural and not legal
right and they have no more natural
rights; now than when they were slaves.
Indeed, the whole doctrine of a natural right
of suffrage resolves itself into irretrievable
absurdity. But it requires something more
than an act of Congress, or even than State
Constitution, to endow an ignorant and
debased class of persons with the qualities
which alone entitle them to be considered as
forming a portion of the political COM
munitg Something more is necessary than
going Through certain forms and ceremonies,
such as putting piece of paper into a ballot
box au the word of command-an accomplish
ment which could be Taught to the learned
mule, .or the instructed horse which spelled
out words at the Academy last year, with
almost as much facility as to these newly
invented citizens. We should be the last to
deny fny polAical privilege to any body Of
persohs who might demand such privileges,
or rights, with serious desire to exer-
else ahem, and with even an approxima-
tive understanding of their nature. Indeed
it. is. not only impolitic to refuse COM
plianse with such demand, but it is impos-
sible Ito resist it. But that the negroes of
Louii jana ever asked for the right to vote, in
the same sense that non-enfranchised Eng
lishn.en ask for it, or that they understand
by it, what the white people who devised it,
NEAR by it, we utterly deny, and no candid
man Twill affirm. They were made voters by
an exterior power in order that they might
be us led as a portion of the effective numeri-
cal strength of the Republican party, and that
theyi might enable few intrusive political
spectators to usurp control of the Southern
States. 1t would be just as sensible to count
the. Republican ballots as q portion of the
political community of Louisiana, as to count
the degrees. After all, the question whether
the negroes do really constitute a portion of
the people in any just sense, is question
WHICH is to be decided by time. The Repub-
licar' thinks that time will decide in its favor,
because, we presume, the Radical Congress,
or General Grant will invent some means of
making the negro vote effective against the
Whit vote. On our side, We do not believe
thatlany such means viii ever be found.
The: white people of Louisiana will govern
Louisiana henceforth, because they ought to
govern, and if the Republican does not be-
ievS it, just let it wait and see.

cheated again?

Last year, under cover of the bolt
against the nominee for Judge of Pro-
bate, who was elected after all, great
many Republicans were cheated into
support of the Democratic nominee for
the Senate. There was great deal of
swapping horses in crossing that stream,
and the boilers themselves We're wofully
sold. Instead of electing an unnOmina-
ted Republican for Judge of Probate,
they helped elect the only Democratic
member for our State Senate. They
were therefore responsible for the single
vote in the Senate which sustained the
course of Andrew johnson against the
course of Congress, upon reconstruction,
as such vote could not be given with
out the help of their ballots at the polls.
Many of them under cover of their per-
sonal feelings for Mr.. Samson were led
consciously or uncOnsciously to vote for
Mr.. Atwood. They thus defeated a
man who from the very commence
ment of the war has aOorked in the I'M
ion cause with great efficiency, and has
supported with good faith all its
measures since, and elected a man who
had then no sympathy with that cause,
and who to-day is supporter of Heratio
Seymour and Frank Blair. We do not
deny his right to support those cham
pions ofrevolution, but we do deny the
right of any man to the name of Repub-
lican who will aid the Democratic cause
by conniving at his election. The Sheriff
question should not cheat Republicans
as the Probate question did last fall for
if there was any excuse then there is
none now. The gentleman who run
against the regular nominee then was q
Republican. The one who runs against
the regular nominee this fall does not
dare to define his position in the public
press, after repeated challenge.

massachusetts, agricultural
lSOripfics.

There are thirty incorporated Agricul-
tural Societies in Massachusetts, each of
which is Untitled to receive 5000 State
bounty. But the Massachusetts, So
ciety has not held exhibitions for sever
al years and consequently does not re-
ceive the bounty. -Four of the others
are new and will this year receive the
bounty for the first time.
All have permanent funds amount
ing i'll the aggregate to S342, 232, the
largest being that of the Massachusetts
500, 223 ,92, and the smallest that of the
Worcester Northwest 81 ,093,70. There
are six in Worcester Co., and two or
three in most of the other countics.-
Most Of them publish their transactions.
The great New England Society is also
an outgrowth of the Massachusetts sys-
tenn having been organized in the action
of the State Board of Agriculture at its
annual meeting in 1864.
The State Board of Agriculture is COM
posed of one delegate from each of these
socities, three members chosen by the
governor and council, all Of whom are
appointed for three years and also three
eX-of1icio members, viz: the governor,
the lieutenant governor and the secre-
tary of the commonwealth.
The Board exercises general super
vision of the societies, appoints the time
of holding the fairs, and sends dele
gate to each who reports the result of
his observations to the secretary.
The annual report of the secretary is
the most valued official agricultural doc
ument published in this country and
is distributed through the societies, farm
ers clubs, and members ofthe legislature
to all farmers who desire it.
1t is generally conceded that the adj
vantages derived from the system are
fully commensurate with the expense,
and although an attempt was made at
the last session of the Legislature to re-
duce the bounties, it was promptly voted
down by large majority, and four new
societies were incorporated.
The Massachusetts society which
does not hold an exhibition uses its
large fund in the Introduction, improve
ment, and distribution of improved
stock, seeds, implements &C., and in
conducting expensive experiments.
We have prepared this imperfect
sketch that our readers may be induced
to compare the Massachusetts State sys-
TEN with ours, which can be best de-
scribed in the words of the Dutchman,
nix, nix, nix. Truly enough we have
several incorporated Societies but the
act of incorporation simply confers pow
ers of association. But it is not our pur-
pose to discuss our system.
