RAD HISTORY ATPAR.

Louisville is joined to her idols, but
the faithful do not intend to let her alone.
The school board has been in deep dis
tress to discover the best history of the
civil war for the use Of the public schools,
and at last the learned academicians Of
that body found Blackburn's History for
the Southern schools Of the United
States. Why Mr.. Blackburn should write
q history for our Southern schools is not
in controversy now, although the South
ern children might wonder if they were
any worse or any better than Western,
Eastern or Northern children; but the
accuracy of Blackburn's History is in con-
troversy, and one little statement selected
at random may give us some idea of how
the others may be accepted. On page 4O1
he states that after the attack Oh the
national troops at Baltimore, in the out
set of the war, the Northern mind was
inflamed, and the Northern soldiers were
excited by suggestions that the capital
was in danger, and that "the Southern
women were beautiful and covered with
jewelry, and that beauty and booty would
reward the soldiers of the federal ARMY
If that is the way Mr. Blackburn writes
history, he might get good situation on
the Police Gazette to do business matters
in Baltimore or Boston. And if that is
the kind of history the School Board OF
Louisville, Kentucky, desire to have
taught in that city, the veriest b.
hemian who ever wrote ''Scenes on the
Frontier" without leaving his garnet III
New York, might be employed to I'LL an
entire book with such nonsense.
The Southern schools need, and ought
to have, fair and impartial history OF the
war, and such book need not be confined
to the South, but should be spread all
over the nation. One reading OF its awful
testimony would arrest any further dis
position to array one section of this great
country against the other. The war is

on CARONDELET STREET.

We have never before this had occasion
to notice 50 feeble an attempta at business
as that raade on Carondelet street yester-
day. During the whole day we only
not augmented by the brokers when they
met about their very festive board. All
honor to the enterprise of the wide-avsake
men who made the three sales. They de-
serve well of the public, and should be
Immediately nominated for Office. Their
combined sales amounted to the ire
mendous figure of $500, not quite CROUCH
to disturb the money market disastrcnsly.
The transactions referred to were the
sale of 90 shares Hibernia Bank
stock, paid up to the extent of $50, at
$54 so; the disposal Of thirty shares
Navigation at 81, and. the sale of $1,000
city seven-thirties az 75c. Carondelet
street can afford to rsst on its larrels for
a week of Sundays. Such an amount of
labor in one day would prove altogether
too much for the brains of a-4y other
financiers than ours.

board SIT was hid, to SIT IS asked.

RAID ON MEXICO.

First the tilibusters, then the French,
then Juarez undertook to work out the
salvation of Mexico, but failed; and now
the Foreign and Domestic Missionary So
ciety of the United States have taken the
matter in hand, and they propose to stick
TO it until the whole country is shaken up
and cleaned out. A printing press has
been sent to the City of Mexico; tracts
and bibles are printed and circulated free
Of cost, and missionaries traverse all the
valley about Lake Tezcuc. It must as
tonish the old cathedrals and converts
about the city of the Montezumas to see
men praying about the street corners with
a stoVe-pipe hat on their heads, and a
pair of breaches on their legs. Shake
'em up. They certainly can not be any
worse than they are now.

A Slight DEFECT.

The St. Louis irresistibles are still hold
ing their grip on the piston rod Of liberal
commerce, and they spit on their hands
last week, and swore in secret that
the thing should not bulge second
faster than they said. A towboat, with
five hundred horse. power, offered her
self to the Board Of Underwriters for in
surance, and proposed to tow barges to
Cairo. She was insured, and accomplished
her trip, taking down three barges. But
unfortunately for her captain, and to the
gain Of the shippers, she took her freight
under the established rates. When she
again applied for insurance, the board met
in secret session, and decided that as her
engine lacked one and quarter inches of
the standard, she could not be insured
Nc abatement was accepted, but the boat
was ruled out of the insurance offices, and
had to lay up. Genuine good sense
would have said to any other class
than the irresistibles that this
Doal Las ceTtalA capacity, anu
for the benefit of trade let her be insured
for what freight she can transport. Lib
eral commercial sentiment ought to have
encouraged an enterprise which promised
to reduce freights. But no, the irresisti-
bles could not get over that inch and a
quarter deficiency in the engine, and they
set the entire concern aside as puzzle
too big for the st. Louis Board of Under
writers. And then they are holding on
to the piston rod, sweating and swearing.
BY and by the rod will surge loose and
throw them high and dry on some mound
where future generations will find their
dry bones, and declare that they lacked
capacity to see more than an inch and a
quarter ahead of them.

The act under which the schools OF the
city and STATE are or should be governed
is No. 6 Of the extra session, approved
March is, 1870. Section ffty-four pro.
vides there shall be City School Board
1t says it shalt have all the powers and
duties in reference to the distribution of
the school funds, as the boards of school
directors for other parishes Ii this i'm
plies anything at all, it must refer to
moneys received from the state for
it can not apply to ward taxes which are
to be levied by meetings of citizens called
by the ward boards: and Of these there
can be no superintendent. By section 81
the ''control and direction" Of all public
schools in New Orleans is vested i'll the
Board of School Directors of New Orleans.
| Section 81 vests the sole and exclusive
control and regulation i'll the city board
and tie other subordinate and local
boards. At first view these provisions
may be deemed slightly conflicting but
they are not necessarily so. Both
mean and say thas the city
board shall have control and authority;
the latter section implies that the ward
boards have subordinate" function in
connection Or conjunction with the city
board. They are expressly termed sub
ordinate" and local. These sections
fix the controlling power Of the School
Board of New Orleans: and any interpre-
tatlon otherwise is in express violation of
the law. An implied construction of
other parts of the law, 10 override the
plain import Of these sections, is absurd.
The bonds of ward treasurers must
conform in conditions and amount,
and be approved by. the City
Council, as well rs the State Board
of Education We have deemed II proper
to call attention to the law, in esder that
ward directors may not form an errone-
GUS idea Of their powers. Reference to
the law will disabuse This, and we believe
ward, as well as city directors, viii place
a reasonable construction upon their own
powers, and work in harmony. 1t is recess
sary that any risk of loss or squanGaring
of the school fund shall be guarded
against: 1t belongs to the schools and
the teachers, and if so disposed of as to
pay their salaries punctually for the. BAL
ance of the year, there will be general
satisfaction. But no removal of teachers
or changes of regulations can legally be
made By the ward boards unless approved |
and concurred in by the city board
We have alluded to construction by |
implication, which argues otherwise from |
certain features of parish and ward or
ganizatioa- peculiar to and only applicable |
to the country. These analogies are
plainly ovsrridden by the positive Yonl-
ing Of the sections above quoted, and by
the fact that they occur later in the act It
is the last thing said that expresses The
true legislative will. Hence, in all laws
the provisions are construed according to
the context; and accordingly where pro-
vision or implied meaning is inconsistent
with positive declaration occurring later
or afterward in the act, the latter is taken
as overriding and repeating the former
pro tanto, or so far as it may conflict

PLANTING AND POLITICS.

While the Democratic politicians here
abouts are blowing about on the surface
Of political affairs with wooden skelts
turnir g up ever and again an old stump
and d pening trench for a new idea
| General Wade Hampton is showing then
| how to do better work with modern appli
| ances On his farm, near Skipwith Land
ing, he has two steam engines which run
themselves without the use Of any other
power. The engines, according to the
Vicbsb burg Herald, are placed on opposite
sides of the field, and by means of wires
reaching from one side to the other, they
pull gangs of plows of the most approved
pattel across the field, sub-soiling when
neces$ parry; Swallowing, extracting roots, or
making cotton beds, as required. They
pillow twenty-five acres, and more, per
day; and when not in the field they can
be used for many other purposes.
Now here is lesson for Democrats from
one Of the genuine men of the South.
He is man of brains and he knows how
to use his common sense. Politics is just
like farming. 1t may be carried on SLOW
emily, with mere surface work, or it may
be done as Wade Hampton is doing his
farming, by obtaining the latest ideas
and going down to the very roots ofthings.
The dirty little game which is conducted
at the corner grocery by means of drinks.
and p PROMISES, is not the genuine article,
for it does not yield more than half bale
to tn e acre, and even that is run away
with by the grass and cucklebe-ries.
Such work as this is what genuine men
laugh at, and call it political villainy.
The other kind is broad and bountiful.
scattering the rotten roots Of error and
deception away upon the sun-burnt fur
rows ; turning over the coco grass of in
efficiency and tossing its roots on top,
where they die bringing to the surface
the rich and solid loan Of knowledge,
and wisdom and producing five
bales to the acre.
We suggest that the next Democratic
Convention be held on Mr.. Hampton'S
farm, and that all exciting drinks be quar-
antined from the reach of the delegates.
The members would then be in a condi-
ton to see how much better it is to keep
up with the age than to be forever climb
a-,yl,n y, ofA 70
stop the resistless roll of that mighty ma
chine called progress. Possibly some Of
them might not understand the lesson,
but others would, and the wise could then
be recruited to assist in helping the
world ahead. The only danger
would be to General Hampton's mn-
chin yr, for the convention might
his engines as only SO many car
pet baggers doing the work of sloth bet
ter than sloth proposes to do it, and go
for it as they sometimes talk about going
for the human thought, skill and energy,
which is bringing Louisiana out Of the
politics of the corner grocery into the
broader light of State craft He would
have to look cut that the convention did
not tear down his superior facilities as SO
many innovations on the ancient tradi
tons of the State. But about this suffi-
Gent measures could be taken to secure
peace, and as General Hampton knows
how to farm so we'll it can be bruited to
him to look out for his farming nipple

An attempt is being made at Washington
to create the impression that Secretary Cox
has yielded the position he assumed in re-
gard to the forced assessments for political
purposes. The fact is that he has MAIN
tanned his stand and obliged those who de-
sire to make collections in the Interior De-
partment to be content witt: voluntary sub
scription. From the first he has insisted
that this course should be pursued both by
Congressional and State committees
