ideas. and who are supposed to favor a lib
eral system of education in this STATE
should wake up and know that the people
are in earnest on this question, and that
thew will hold men to most severe and
strict accountability who either prove care
less or false in their treatment of it.
The people of Louisiana want schools.
They ask no multiplied, complicated
machinery. They want facilities for the
education Of their children. They want
these without delay, and they will deal
with unmistakable severity with those who
are disposed to stand in their way. They
have elected an oficer-the State Super
intendent of Public Education having IN
view the idea that he would, by the ex-
ercise of his constitutional functions,
afford them these facilities, and they expect
to hold him to severe accountability; but
how can he come to the relief of the
people, in this respect unless the law
making power afford the necessary op'

Senate bill carefully prepared, which
\ has passed the House by most remark
ably strong vote, and which is deemed by
| iudicious men, and friends Of popular
education, as a very great improvement
on the impracticable scheme adopted by
the Legislature last year.
With the exception of the single def
cheney of revenue, with which to sustain
schools, we see no reason for any actor
on the part of the Senate, except the mos
hearty concurrence with the Honse of Rep
resentatives.
The people are looking to Messrs. Camp
bell, Lynch, Pinchback, Ray and othe
leading men of the Senate, and v
know what their verdict will be, if snothe
year passes without thorough system {
public education. We are not in doub
as to the position of most of these gentle
men, We have the best assurances tina
they, with the Superintendent of Educa
, ton and other friends of that great publ
, question, are right They will vote RICH
and g ct right, and the people will applau
them for it.
Il Gentlemen of the Senate, stand up
the mark on this great public question; d
not falter: do not hesitate. Two hundre
thousand children are looking to you
They look for knowledge. They ask thf
obstacles in the way be at once removed
They ask earnestly and unmistakabl.
How long shall they ask?

THE CITY CHARTER.

There now remains but three days more
of the present session, and yet the bill In
troduced by Hon. Frank Alexander to IN
corporate the city of New Orleans has moi
been completed in either House. This Is
one of the most important bills the Leg
islature has been called upon to consider
this winter. Its passage is earnestly de-
manded by the highest interests of the
people. 1t is vital measure. To neglec
action, or to vote against it, will be re-
garded by the people of this city and State
as adereliction of duty. No man having the
welfare of the people at heart will permi
thisbill to be delayed a moment longer thar
is absolutely necessary for its reasonable
consideration. Enact this bill into law
gentleman, without delay.

Gold has at last sunk to lis. 1t was a
mere touch, but still it was enough to set
tie the bets which had been made on that
point. 1t opened in the morning at 116s,
rapidly fell to lis by one o'clock, and
closed at ISL. Now that this point has
been reached, will the decline be ar
rested? Who can tell? We can predict
that certain general causes will influence
the market, and even, in rough way, the
time during which such causes will ope.
rate but we can not fix any definite period
for the oscillations which they produce.
1t is certain, however, that whenever the
causes producing the depression cease to
act. the effect will cease to be felt, and
when the opposite causes come into play,
| which must sooner or later happen, the
existing process must be reversed. One
CT the dangers to be apprehepded from the
continued depression in gold is q
| serious break in the cotton
market. Already the spectators
for rise are becoming alarmed, and theil
alarm is a measure of their weakness. II
sudden collapse were to occur, it might
cause fall in which the price would be
carried far below its normal point, and
thus great injury might be inflicted on
those planters who have been SO unwise
as to hold back their cotton in the antici.
patton of realizing higher prices at the
end of the season.

THE SCHOOL BILL IN THE SENATE.

The school bill, as it passed the House
of Representatives, should pass the Sen
ate and become the law of the State.
The great fault of the law of last year
was that it provided SO many Boards OF
Directors in the State that it became a
dead letter; for the reason that capable
men could not be found to perform the
necessary duties. We hear it limited that
the Senate amendments to the present
House bill increases the machinery, in
stead of diminishing it. Instead of re-
ducing the number of Boards to one for
each parish, composed of competent men,
the Senate committee propose to increase
them by adding Board for each ward,
and one for each parish in the State; max
ing five hundred and three Boards, in
stead of four hundred and fifty, as con-
templated last year. According to this
scheme there will be about fifty more
Boards of Directors than the law of last
year called for.
It surprises us ttst sensible men pro-
pose such plan as this. The State Board
of Education, in their circular to the peo-
pie of the State, and the State superintend-
ent of Education, in his annual report, re-
commended an entire reduction IN the
number Of boards and in the cost OF n'ac's''e'
ri, so as to enable the youth of the State,
who for years have been waiting for the IA
cilities of education, to derive the benefits
intended by those who love public schools,
and who pay taxes for their support. Dur.
ing the past year the Auditor has done
about as be pleased with the school fund.-
and during the same period the State
Board of Education did nothing of interest
to those who desire q thorough system Of
education under our Republican State
government. It is high time that men
looked upon as favorable to progressive

February %, le7e
To the Editor of the New Orleans Rep ublcan:
. SrR-My attention has been called to resolution
of the American Union Ciub, published IN yester-
day mornings edition of your paper In relation TO
what they say was an unwarranted assault made On
one of the members OF said Club by me. They have
been very careful not to give the name OF the party
whom was compelled to cane for slanderins me
and refusing to give explanation when de-
msnded in person. The fact slone of publishing his
name would have been a clear yindication of my
course in the premises. The Club has thought it
nroper to harbor base coward and slanderer within
its bosom and make the bread assertion that was
refused sdrnittance, when it is well known that
WAS presented with two complimentary tickets on
one of which could have gained admittance at any
time choosed to avail myself Of the privilege. The
tickets are still in my possession as evidence
of the falsity Of the resolution. On
the other hand, desire the suthor Of the
resolution and those that assisted in its
passage to be informed that never had any desire
TO become member of said club. nor did I author
ize any one to ask complimentary ticket for me
it was purely voluntary offering upon the part of
some gentlemen, friends of mine who are members
of the club. The accompanying communication. a
CODY of which l sent to the club on the evening of
the twenty sixth instant, previous to the passage of
said resolution. will. think. Justify me in the eyes
