Learn to labor and to wait"
If you have the ambition to follow in the
footsteps of the knights of old, remember that
he, who was the most knightly gentleman, and
whose name has come down to US through -four
centuries as the "spotless and tho fearless
chevalier Bayard has transmitted his hume ia
succeeding generations. pot through manly
proves nor skill with spear and sword alone,
but for the great and high moral qualities which
are the true test of manhood.
Ifyou wish for model Of more modern times,
that model has been before you for two days
pasta greater than Bayard. He stands before
less in time of trial and danger, bat firm and
self possessed in the hour ofmisfortune. And,
ia this respect, he affords you q model equal to
any ever before seen. If the French had Bayard,
you have Lee. Emulate his virtues and you
will be led to honor, because bis is the path of
honor, and of virtue, and of patriotism. You
have, then, the strongest indictments to action
which young men ever had. In the dark and
bloody years now gone, we hope forever, many
of you have shown high courage. Show now
that you have within you the power of endur-
ance. Show that you have the determination
to work out for your country glorious future.
Look around you-you desire the smiles OF
these beautiful faces, gazing upon you from this
vast amphitheatre. These smiles you can only
deserve by bravery prudence, plety and
patriotism. And as you deserve, be assured
that you shall so receive the smiles and plaudits
of youth and beauty.

that you will, to day, deserve the sMiles and

appropriation made by order Of Maj. Gen.
Hancock, for the support and maintenance
ofthe Penitentiary for the current year 10
to be considered ~ part Of the rights,
credits and assets thereof and to 60 into
the hands of Lessees, such disposal of the
money of the State would be in violation
of that particular clause ii the lease
whereby the lessees are required and agree
to conduct and maintain the prison at
their own expense and cost, and If such is
not the intention, the alleged necessity for
the leasing thereof docs not exist.
9Th. That the approval of said lease by
Gen. Hancock is conditional with the pro-
viso that the conv iets are to be employed
on the levees during the season, as 1t is q
notorious fact to all persons acquainted
with the Mississippi river, that their
services there the 10th Of March could OF
be of any utility for the present season ;
consequently the reason for such approval
for tho want Of that vital consideration.
9th. That it Is the opinion of the Board
If the Governor be possessed of the extra
ordinary powers of leoislating for the State
Of Louisiana by Notaral Act, and delivers
ing its rights to any Lessees that he should
with equal propriety appropriate money to
pay past indebtedness. and that has action
in appointing q Board IT Control, recon-
mended By Lessees, is detrimental to tho in
teyests of the Stats.
7th. The Board Of Control, deeply i'm
pressed with the Importance of the trust
confded to .hem as agents Of the State
under the law, cannot forbear expressing
their views and opinions on the nature of
the contract, and If, in expressing such
opinion, they should seem to have exceeded
the duties of their Office, they feel conf
dent that in view of the unsettled condi-
ton of State affairs, and to them the very
apparent want of validity in lease thus
contracted, abrogatng law and the conse-
quent liability to be aet aside after mnch
injury may be done the State by any legis-
lature, will be considered sufficient excuse
for expressing thus their impartial opinion
on the subject.

IExtract
WHEREAS, The Board of Control of the

act of the Legislature, approved December
ed 1865, the legally constituted authority,
charged with the direction, control and
management Of the Prison and all the
rights and interests of the State consti-

Joshua Buker, Governor of the State, to
turn them over and deliver to Messrs.
Huger d. Jones, as Lessees of the Pen1ten-
tiary, all the assets, rights and credits
thereunto belonging; therefore be it
ReS02gcd, That the members of this
Board. always ready and willing to obey
the legally constituted authorities of the
United States and of this State, yet deem
it proper Tin this case to be Their duty to
enter their formal protest and withhold
their assent to the propriety of leasing the
Peritentiary upon the terms and oondi-
tions and for the reason therein set forth ::
LIST. That nearly all the conditions en-
bodied in said lease, legislate for the State,
snpersedes and annuls all law on the sub
iect and entirely ignores the principle that
in accordance with law.
3D. That tho approval of said lease by
Mai Gen. W. s. Hancock, commanding
Fifth Military District, appears to be in
direct opposition to his first order, wherein
he mast automatically announced that he
desired to uphold and sustain the civil
law and by strange discrepancy, the date
of his approval Of said lease (if the au-
thenticated cory is correct, y is two days
anterior to its existence, which fact alone
would seem to be fatal 70 its validity.
3D.. That another clause in said lease as
sumed to obligate the State to pay for
whatever machinery may be put in opera
ton, and also for all permanent improve
ments made ("with the consent of the
Board of Control'-but no control over
the cost to the Penitentiary upon compile
ton Of the same with seven per cent inter
est thereafter, and in default of payment
of principal and interest, the Lessees may
continue perpetually to hold and use the
same until final payment.
4th. That another article in said lease
provides that all rig hts, credits and assets
belonging to the Penitentiary, shall be
turned over to the Lessees, without any
provision being made for the liquidation
of the liabilities thereof. That if such is
the intention of the Governor, that the
