THE CoLoRED SCHOOL QUEsTIoS.-To hs
Editor Of The Republican - Mr. Editor:
Many citizens, readers OF the REPUBLICAN,
who are very grateful for the space given to
the discussion of the school question In Its
columns, beg the favor that their position
may be fairly stated, as II Is manifestly the
purpose Of designing aud interested persons
to show that the intelligent colored citizens
Of this District, by opposing the bill trans
ferring the duties of the board of trustees
for colored schools, are hostile to Congress
and opposed to the principles Of the Repub-
lican party.
/. We want perfect equality In the schools,
common alike to all the citizens.
3. We greatly prefer separate board
while VIC are compelled to have separate
schools, but will joyfully seek change
when Congress and our friends feel that the
time has arrived to perfect the school system
In this District.
8. We believe the time has arrived that
class legislation should cease, and that the
colorcd citizens rights In this District should
be the same as others; IT, however, Mayor
Bowen or Congress thinks differently why
II Is simply difference Of opinion. We are
grateful to our friends for past acts OF
justice, and mean to show that we are when
ever opportunity offers. But we do not pro-
pose to endorse what we believe to be wrong
ana injurious 10 ourselves.
I. We feel that self-respect prevents our
indorsing Mayor Bowen on the school ques-
tion. But we give him credit for many kind
acts in the past and frnnkness in his present
position, and sincerely hope that the day
may soon arrive when he can advocate "free
common schools" alike for all citizens.
5. We are not anxious about mere men
who compose the board. If they can be
proven bad men, unfit for the position, why
remove them and appoint others, not colored
men or white men, but good men fit for the
positions, and who recognize our manhood,
and are opposed to distinctions among the
| citizens.
o. We believe with Mayor Bowen that the
board was a necessity under the existing
school lnws Of this district; therefore, until
Congress, in Its wisdom, perfects the laws, It
Is better that we have separate board free
from local politics.
Very respectfully, JoHS II. BROOKS.

Road Company, (Fremept's Road
A Joint resolution giving this company the
"right Of way" through the Territories, from
FL Paso to the Pacific ocean, passed the
House On the 2qd instant, and ID now on the
table 10 the Senate, and will probably be
taken up today for discussion. This resolu-
tlcn is somewhat extraordlnsfy IN Its chatac-,
ter. It gives perpetual right Of way to the
above company along the thirty-second par
allel, from Fl Paso, and as the typographical
features Of the country are such as to make
II impossible TO construct more than ono road
through the passes of the mountains Of that
region, the franchise will necessarily bestow
an srciasigs right Of way upon said companyC
They will therefore have II In their power to
prevent any other company to which Con-
gress may hereafter grant aid to build n road
to the Pacific on. the thlrty-second parallel
from carrying out lie enterprise. This reso-
luton also Incorporates said company under
the laws Of the United States, and makes its
road military road. Il is m insidIous ap-
proaeh TO Congress 10 obtain from Ii that
which In hself will do the company no good,
(for Il will undoubtedly Immediately after
obtaining this demand ask Congress for
lands along this same route and other aid to
build Its road, but will enable Ii to levy
black mail upon any other company which
may hereafter construct road through
Texas, on the said thirty-second parallel to
Fl Paso. r,, ~.,r, ...r -.
We regard this fnnchisc, II granted, worth
to tho Memphis, Fl Paso and Pacific Com
pany whatever amount Il may see ft to de-
mand Of others to build their road through
the passes In the mountains, which they will
have seized under the Joint resolution, and
1t may fairly be estimated at from 1--WE TO ten
millions Of dollars-thereby constituting this
the richest franchise that has been granted
by Congress for many years. No time being
named In the resolution within which this
company Is compelled to complete their road,
1t amounts, as said, to a perpetual right, and
Is therefore on imposition upon the whole
country-especially the Southern States.
Those who arc pressing this subject upon
tho attention Of Congress say 1t is "simply
the right Of way" they ask, but II the Senate
will analyze II they will sec the correctness

GBoRGIA.-ThG agent Of the Associated
Press In Georgia has sent several dispatches
North respecting the troubles said to exist
between the Radicals and Conservatives In
that State. The occasion and upshot of all
this is that very few Republicans or men
who have been Republicans are dcSirous of
carrying the party over to the Democrats,
and to secure reconstruction upon tho Prin-
cipies enunciated by the present nondsscript
Legislature which voted to turn out the col
ored members. The mass of the Republl-
can party In that State refuse to be COM
mitted to this Infamous policy, and they are
right, and Congress must stand by them not
wlthstandlng the shurilng and treachery Of
some few whilom Republicans.

Discussion.

The Union and Democratic candidates for
the Assembly met in joint discussion at
GAINESVILLE on the 25th After the vast
amount of blowing and Dragging done by
Democrats as to what their candidate could
do in the discussion line, the people expect
cd to see Webster eclipsed and Follansbee
jus literally annihilated But nothing of the
kind occurred. Folansbee made all his
points easily and fortified his position with
undeniable proof, while his opponent falter-
ed, wildly asserted, hesitated, and finally
fattened out and took his seut twenty min.
utes before his time was out. A number Of
Democrats who were present acknowledged
that their candidate was no match for Fol.
lansbee. and one of them Indignantly assert.
ed that the Democratic Central Committee
was fool for letting them get together" -
During the discussion Follansbee ventil.
lated bis opponents former expressions Of
hostility to our free school system, and for
the truth of that matter enquire of his own
neighbors about Roaring River.

Humbug Campaign.

The Democratic County campaign has
proved q miserable failure. and has disguised
intelligent Democrats and Republicans alike
Their speakers and candidates in canvass.
ing the County have totally ignored all al.
lusion to the interests of the County or t,
those local matters in which our people are
principally interested, and have talked abou,
their individual claims and the Fifteenth,
Amendment in style which has naturally
led the people to conclude that they are not
aware that the County really has any interests
at stake. This kind of campaigning, when
only county officers are to be elected, is ab
surd. Wha. has the Office of Sheriff. Clerk.
Assessor, etc., to do with amending the Con.
s'itution Of the United States? What has
the "Nigger, Digger and Chinaman" to do
with the business of levying executions. re
cording deeds, assessing property. &c9 Alb
soluteiy nothing, and any man who aspires
to the position ofa county officer should pos.
sess sense enough to knows it.

Dinerence Between Preaching and Prac
tice.


Charles Maclay, the Democratic candidate
for Senator in Santa Clara. is particularly
bitter against the Chinese, and expects to
secure his election mainly upon the preiudiees
existing against that people. The San Jose
mercury says he has employed during the
past year more Cinnamon than any five men
IN the county. There is a wide gap between
the preaching and practice of the Democracy
-Aarysritle appeal.
Indeed there is a wide difference. We
have beautiful illustration of that in this
County. A R. Andrews and C. w. TAYLOR
are swinging around the circle" de.
plorlng the evils of Chinese importation.
accusing the Johns of robbing hen roosts
and hankering for an opportunity to prove
themselves equal to some of the advocates
OF white mans government" But. not
outstanding their terribly hostility to China
men. we are informed that these fierce eau
casisns both own water bitches and rent
water almost, it not exclusively, to the long
tailed Celestials. They make their living
from Chinese patronage them water and
thereby cause them to remain here, and also
encourage more to come to work out the
mines which white miners would some day
be glad to work in order to obtain bread
1t would also be safe to bet that if party of
white miners should attempt to drive the
Cinnamon away from under the bitches
mentioned, the proprietors would rush to the
defense of their Celestial patrons and invoke
the powers of the law to prevent their ex-
pulson. Are these gentlemen deserving of
the votes of those who are actually and hon
estly opposed to Chinese? To vote for them
would be huge burlessue

Work for the Ticket.

Every Union man in the County should
make it a special point to get to the polls
early on Election day. When you arrive
early and put in your ballot. remember that
you have only performed your first duty
After voting 90 to work among your neigh.
bors and friends and do all you honorably
can to induce them to vote for the Union
nominees. We believe that many sensible
Democrats will vote for the Union candidates
this year for the reason that they are interest
ed in securing continuation of efficient and
economical local government, and because
there is no regularly nominated Democratic
ticket in the field.

Used Up.

Since John S. Follansbee and others, have
taken the stump in this County, the cam mpaign
has assumed a vastly different phase. Where
the people have listened to Mr.. Follansbee
they have expressed themselves highly
pleased with his honest. clear and truthful
presentations of the issues before the public.
The contrast between his speeches deliver
ed on subjects properly connected with
the campaign, and the meaningless lingo
of Luttrell, Andrews & Co., is so marked
that none can fail to see that our nominee is
is far more than match for the combined
opposition menagerie. The insane cry of
Niger, Digger, and Chinese suffrage" has
constituted the sum and substances of the
opposition speeches made throughout the
County, and the people say they want to
elect officers who will not be constantly labor
ing under the demoralizing hallucination
that Diggers or Cinnamon are likely to be.
come their official successors.
