These schools have ceased, and hereafter
we are to have Public Schools in Loui-
siana.
Distinctions not recognized in the stat
utes Of the State will not be tolerated in
our system of public instruction. l3
With the barbarsus slave system every
barrier against the education of all the
people must be swept away.
Our cstemporaries seem to exult over
the fact that a few acolored schools" have
been sustained inthis city during the past
year, but make no allusiOn to the wretch
ed, fourth rate buildings in which colored
children were crowded together, regard
less of bygienic laws or the claims of COM
mon convenience and decency.
While ii may be true, as enc cotempora-
~ remarks, that eaa good quality Of in
struction" has been accorded to the
colOred as to the white children, and even
while the selection of textbooks and
studies" may have been the same 70 the
one class as to the other, il Is nevertheless
. taOt that the colOred schools have been
shanefully abused and neglected by the
school authorities. VOC a9 $1,000.
Hereafter we hope To see the interests Of
public education IN Louisiana free from
the bias and partially which have marked
all former administrations, and 50 far
guarded and featered as to advance them
70 point Of efficiency equal to that at
tanned in any Of our sister States. The
progress Of the work Of education during
the past year, as eylnced By the recent
school examinations, indicates degree "
Industry on the part Of the teachers which
msriss the commendation and gratitude Of
the community. "t

THE NEW oRLBANs RBPUBLIoAN,

1t is now nearly six months since the
present editor and proprietor Of the RE-
PUBLICAN assumed possession of its prop
erty and editorial charge of its columns.
At that time the paper was on the verge of
bankruptcy. Its principal manager and
chief proprietor wrote that if the transfer
was not Immediately made the REPuB-
LIoAN would smash up'% the next day. It's
Indebtedness was near ten thousand dollars,
and its income did not meet its weekly
expenses. Since then all this has been
changed, and almost wholly from the earn
inqs of the paper. Its debts have been paid,
and this. morning the REPUBLICAN has a
cash balance in its favor of four thousand
dollars. 1t owes nothing of consequence,
or that it can not pay at sight, and its
assets have increased about twenty thou
sand dollars.
For five months it has been the or
gan of the Republican party of this
State, and it is now recognized as one
of the leading papers Of the South. 1t is
with great satisfaction and pleasure that we
think Of this great change in the prospects
of the REPUBLICAN, and claim prominent
part in the good work. But it is with much
greater satisfaction and pleasure that we
remember the changes which have come to
Louisiana during the time to which we
refer. We have held an election by far
more important than was ever before held
in this State, we have elected a majority of
eur candidates, and have ratified a constitu-
ton guaranteeing justice and liberty and
equality to all men, and one step farther will
carry us back into the Union OF States.
In this glorious work the REPUBLICAN has
borne no Insignificant part. AS the lead
ing journal and official organ of our party
it has earnestly sought to do its whole duty,
kindly and courteously where it was pos
sible, fearlessly and determinedly where it
was necessary. 1t has eontended for civil
and political equality for all loyal men,
without regard to race or color. 1t
has striven for a moral and political
reformation in Louisiana; for purer
and a nobler civilization. 1t
has labOred amid dangers and difficulties
and darkness but now the morning of
new era is breaking over our State. The
dangers and difficulties and darkness are
passing away, and the sunlight of new
-, l. L Il
failure Of Louisiana. In the years to come
Justice and equality, peace and prosperity
will dwell in her borders.

BANKRUPTCY,


Parties Interested in the assets of the
" famous six hundred" bankruptcy cases
pending in the United States district court
have become aroused, by the exposures
made in the columns Of the REPUBLICAN to
the necessity of looking closely after the
general assignee and the funds in his hands.
Proceedings are now daily instituted to
make Mr., Norton give security that the
proceeds of sales shall not take unto them
selves wings and mysteriously fly away
to Northern watering places, and other ag-
grieVed persons come into court and claim
a looping of of the many and enormous
overcharges with which the general as
signee lengthens out his bill of COSTS
The presiding judge has been compelled
to grant these petitions in accordance with
the provisions Of the law.
By the act Of Congress and the rules in
bankruptcy adopted by this court all funds
accruing from the settlement Of bankrupt
estates must be deposited in bank desig-
mated by the judge, and can be drawn
thence only by his order. At least this is the
statement OF legal Firm, who have taken a
rule requiring Mr.. Norton to show cause
why he has not deposited assets in this
manner. The immediate cause Of action
is said to be the rumor that the
general assignee has loaned a wellknown
fellow citizen the enormous sum
Of two hundred Thousand dollars at a
usurious interest We, Of course, have no
means Of ascertaining the truth Of this re-
port, but Judge Darrell owes it to bis oWn
credit, and to, the credit Of the tribunal
over which be SO ably presides, that the
matter be thoroughly investigated. Tbs
mere fact that such q runner has existence
betrays d Numerically loose and unsatisfac-
tory condition Of affairs in the general re-
ceiver's Office, and should the assertion leng
go uneonsradicted must create panic In
the minds Of the hundreds Of our citizens
whose property, without their consent hiss
been intrusted Ia the hands Of this Official.

MgBTINe OF THB LEGISLATURES.

Tomorrow at twelve O'Clock the Legis-
lature of Louisiana meets at Mechanics
Institute IN this city. After long years of
warfare, of trial, and of suffering the terri
BILE effects of secession and rebellion are
passing away. But the lessons they have
taught to our people can never be forgot
ten, nor can their authors be again trusted
until they have done works meet for re-
pentance. There will be two parties rep
resented in our Legislature-the Repub-
lican party of progress and the reactionary
Democratic party, and between them there
is no affinity whatever. The Democratic
party is responsible for the wrongs and
sufferings of secession and rebellion. 1t
has been pro-sIavery party from its in
ception, and is reactionary party now.
Its battle cry is "Ihe Union as II loaS."
fit were possible it would even now re-
store to Louisiana the slave Oligarehy,
slavery, and all the sin and ignorance of
the past. It's end and aim will be to OBJ
struct loyal legislation, and to prevent the
restoration of peace and prosperity under
the administration of loyal men.
1t is only to the Republican party that
our people look for that legislation which
will insure the enforcement Of the laws, re-
store the credit of the State, rebuild our lev
ees, erect schoolhouses and churches, and
make Louisiana peaceful and prosperous.
To the Republican party are due the glori-
rieus deeds Of the last seven years. Its
measures conquered the rebellion; its laws
brought freedom to the slave; its members
of Congress passed the reconstruction laws,
and finally the Republican party has made
and ratified the constitution of Louisiana I'M
der which the present Legislature convenes,
and has elected a majority in each house of
the Legislature. All this has been bitterly
opposed by the rebel Democracy; and the
contest is not yet ended. 1t will continue
during the sessions of the Legislature, and
the opposition will be shrewd, reckless,
united, and determined; and it behooves
the Republican members to be equally
shrewd, equally united, and equally deter
mined. Individual members of the Legis-
lature must do here as members of Con-
gress and of other Legislatures do; they
often must yield their personal preferences
and opinions to those of the majority for
the good of their principles and party.
Without entire unity among the Republican
members the Legislature will fall far short of
the requirements of the present emergency,
and the expectations of the people. With
out this unity OF action and feeling the
rebel Democracy will undo much that has
been done, and retard and prevent much
requisite and important legislation. But if
the Republican members are organized and
united they will have no difficulty in con-
trolling the organizations of the two
houses, in electing two truly Republican
United States Senator's, and in passing the
laws necessary to carry into operation the
fundamental principles of the constitution.
