Public Schools for Freedmen.

We learn through exchanges
that the surplus funds of the
Freedman's Bureau is ordered
to be applied to building school
houses in the Southern States
for the benefit of the freed
men, we suppose. The manner
of obtaining a portion of this
fund is by application to A. w.
Mason, New Orleans. agent for
Louisiana, whose duty it is to
furnish building material to
erect houses ou lots properly
decided for that purpose.
AS the people of Bossier have
endured all the evils of that in
stitution, they are justly entitl-
ed to this final favor, and should
make proper applications for a
share of the fund as soon as
possible. Suitable building lots
will be donated by land owners
in any ward in the parish, and
all good citizens will be pleased
to have snch building erected
SO that all the children may be
DrODerly educated.
A writer in the Louisiana In.
telligencer of June 18th, speaks
of public schools as a radical
measure in which Democrats
should take no part and oil
importing carpet-bag teachers
&c. Now we hope that this
important matter will no longer
be vexed and retarded by efforts
to turn it into a piece of Radi.
cal political machinery. AS te
the necessity of importing
teachers, we have citizens who
are daily laboring for money
and might teach for proper
wages, but if carpet-baggers
wish to come and teach or work
to pay others to teach, we, MOI
the people of Bossier parish
have no objections to make
provided they do their duties
properly and act the part Of
good citizens. Let us have
schools, and let lis have peace

ALL THE DECENCY.-The
radicals have delighted in ar
rogating to themselves "all the
decency," and have plumed
themselves upon being the par
excellence party of decorum. If
they ever were entitled to any
credit at all, uuder either OF
these heads, it would seem, by
the following extract from the
Chicago Evening Post, a lead
ing radical journal, that they
have forfeited what little they
really possessed in either re-
spect:
1.-THE proceedings of the re-
publican convention of the
State of Tennessee, are, as re-
ported by the Cincinnati Com
mercial, disgraceful to the re-
publican name; and, so far as
we can see, one faction was
just as bad as the other. 1t is
time that the republican party
in that State was newly officer
ed. Vulgarity, profanity, bias
phemy and threats of violence,
all ending in scuffle and a
row-these were the character
istics of which we complain

respectably-behaved men in
the gathering, and they doubt
less are by this time ashamed
OF the company they were in

AN IMPORTANT DEC1sIoN.-It

AN IMPORTANT DECIsION.-It
is well known that the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana, in an elabor-
ately reasoned judgement, more
than a year ago decreed that OBJ
legations founded upon property
in slaves were invalid in cOnse-
quence of the abolition of the in
stitution Of slavery by the Gov
eminent Of the United States
The Court, therefore, refused to
enforce the payment of such obi
cations. They asserted in their
decree that slavery had never ex-
listed by law in the United States,
but that it had been tolerated
only.
Judge Durell, of the the U. s.
Court in this State, thinks differ
emily, and we do not see how any
lawyer could come to the eonclu-
sion that a contract, lawful when
entered into, could possibly be-
come unlawful by any subsequent
act of the Government. Judge
Durell decided last week in favor
of the plaintiff in the case of Wal
ter L. Campbell VS.. L. F. Generes,
wherein the defendant was sued
as endorser on promissory note,
the consideration of which was
for the purchase of slaves. The
defendant pleaded the destruction
of the property by act Of the Gov
eminent. The sum claimed was
$1,000 with eight per cent. interest
from April 4, 1860, until paid

How IT STRIKES PEOPLE In
THE COUNTRY.-'Justice" writes
from Salem, New Jersey, to the
Philadelphia Press:-"I see by
most every paper an account OF
strikes for higher wages, and a
shortening of hours; a uniting OF
labor agaist capital. Will not
capital have to form itself into So
cieties against the labor move
ment9 Now, everything else is
going down but labor; it takes
two bushels of wheat now to pay
a carpenter for a days work, three
to pay a mason, nearly four bush
els of corn for eapenter, six for
mason, and all other laborars in
proportion. Now, it has come to
this: Produce must 60 up, or. la
Dor must come down, as farmers
cannot stand it. There is not one
farmer out Of four, to speak with
in bounds, that made a living
last year. For myself, | can see
no reason why labor should not
come down in proportion to other
things. Now, farmers produce is
nearly where it was before the
war-and labor in all cases. more
than twice as high, and in many
cases three and four times higher

~ Several of our exchanges,
feeling the want of labor to work
the open fields of the South, advo-
cate the introduction of the pig
tailed Cinnamon in the South as
the most effectual laborer that can
be obtained. While this may be
the fact, we are opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of any race who cannot
easily affiliate with the whites of
the South. Should the starving
millions of the Celestials be intro
duced into the South, a few gener-
ations would witness a triangular
fight between the negro, the Chi
naman and the white man. Let
us profit by the lesson our forefath-
ers taught us, when the great
want of laborers introduced the
negro on this continent. If they
did clear up the forest and make
the wilderness to blossom as the
rose, we. are reaping to-day the
curse of nom ongeniality of races;
and light would be the curse, in
deed, if it had now ended. Why
not draw from the toiling, starv-
ing millions of white men in Eu-
rope. When mingled with us,
both the native and foreign born
are improved. We are in dead
earnest on this subject, and if
nothing else will stay this suicid-
al hand ofnecessity, we hope the
repugnance of the Chinaman to
work by the side of the black man
will keep him away Union Re

u To those OF our citizens who
design going in pursuit of health
this summer, we would suggest
that they could select no more
agreeable watering place nor one
more likely to benefit them than
Montyale Springs. These springs
are situated twenty.four miles
from Knoxville, Tenn, one of the
healthiest localities, naturally, on
the continent. An analysis BY
an eminent chemist of the State
shows that there are no more
health giving waters in Virginia
than those OF these springs. They
are nestled near the base of the
Chilhowee mountains, whence the
breezes come down with healing
on their wings. Mr.. Joseph L.
King, proprietor, is atrue South
ern gentleman, and visitors will
meet with every comfort. His
charges are only $16 a week, while
his table is furnished with every
delicacy one could desire.
This notice is unpaid for and
unasked, but having witnessed
the very great benefit received by
some of our friends last summer,
from a short stay at Montvale, we
give it for the good of suffering
humanity South Western.

HOMICIDE. On Tuesday OF

HOMICIDE. ON Tuesday of
this week. Mr.. Joseph Walters
was shot and Instantly killed by
Mr.. John T. Baird, near Spring
vile in this parish. The weapon
used was a shot gun, and Mr.
Walters received all his wounds
in the face. The origin of the diff
Guilty was a private quarrel, not Sc
rious in its character, but aggra
waited, it seems, by one of those
idle and malicious tattlers, them
selves murderers at heart but
lacking courage, who infest so
ciety and too often lead better
men into the commission of VIC
lence, and destroy the lives or
happiness of the unsuspecting.
Mr.. Walters was one of the
engineers of the Confederate ram
Webb during the war, and acted
in that capacity when that gal
liant steamer made her memorable
run from Shreveport for the Gulf
few weeks before the surrender.
Mr.. Baird is an old and respect
ed citizen of this parish, and i'm
mediately gave himself into the
custody of the civil authorities
after killing Mr.. Walters. A pre-
liminary investigation was begun
before the District Judge on
Thursday morning, but had not
concluded up to the hour of our
going to press on Friday even
ing.-[N atchitoches Times, 10th.
