Trustees of the Public schools.

Trustees Of the Public schools.
AS great interest is being felt by
our people in regard to the open
ing of the Public Schools of this
city, l have no doubt that the re-
cent appointment, BY the City
Council, of six Trustees has been
noted with due attention.
The taxpayers Of this city form
a very insignificant and unimpor-
tant element in the population of
Vicksburg, and hence, their wishes
are utterly ignored. Heretofore,
gentlemen of known character and
intelligence have usually been Sc
lected for such positions, but
until recently, 1 never heard that
any one was an applicant or can.

have had an opportunity of
judging somewhat Of the style of
men who can apply for such posi-
tons, and with few honorable ex-
ceptions, the Council seems to
have acted upon the old horse
mill practice, of "lrst come first
served"
Our sapient city rulers, the dig
niied gentlemen who hold their
positions by a naked act of usur-
patton by a negro Governor, seem
imbued with the idea that they,
too, must pander to the illiterate
and negro element. AS a conse.

We have received from the
Vlcksburg Chamber Of Commerce a
circular addressed to the "COtton
Spinners Of Europe and America"
which directs attention to several
important changes In the nature of
Southern business. It refers par
lleularly to the fact that the old
Southern system of large planta-
llo8s with few proprietOrs is rapid

there are now smaller plantations
and more proprietors than former

A Paris correspondent of the
Tribune tells the following story.
1t has a very doubtful aspect. We
cannot believe all that the war
chroniclers tell US. Their preju-
dices give q strong Coloring to
most that they ~narrate, while in
some instances there is not even q
foundation in fact for their start.
ling stories. But to the story
l have referred in previous let
ters TO the danger of raising
against any one Whomsoever the
cry Of Prussianism. The village
of Hautefaye (Dordogne) has
within the last two days been the
theatre Of q crime Of so hideous a
character as TO remind one
of the barbarities of the
middle ages. Without entering
into the details of the preliminary
incidents, it will suffice to state
that a wealthy landed proprietor,
the owner Of the chateau of Brc.
tagnes, one Sieur dc Moneys
d'Ordiers, was burned alive by the
populace under the impression
that he had cried, "Vive Ia
Prusse!'
1t appears that he did make use
of these words, but only at the
end Of a reply he was addressing
10 a band Of fellows who had in
suited him and his cousin bv
pointing them out as "dne gentle
men who paid others TO fight the
Prusians for them" NJ. dc Mo
neys Indignantly denied the allie
CATION, and even declared that,
though rich, he did not intend to
purchase a substitute, but would
himself risk his life for his coun-
try. He added: Those who, at
such a moment, endeavor TO shirk
the discharge Of their patriotic
duties are towards, and make com.
mon cause with all who shout
give la Prusse !" These last
words alone were heard by Il part
Of the band who had provoked
this retort. 1t was sufficient. The
young man (he was only twenty
nine) was Immediately set upon
and fed. He was pursued, recap.
tured, and beaten and kicked, and
then dragged to a dried-up bed Of
a pond in the field where the fair
is usually held.
The fcrocious rulllans next got
a heap of faggots and put the al
ready half dead man upon it, and,
having heaped more over him, set
the pile on fire. The unfortunate
young man, unable to move, eX-
PRED in awful agony. His father
arrived while the young man was
being burnt. When the fire was
extinguished the body was a mere
charred heap. The loyalty Of NJ.
de Moneys was notorious, and no
one seems to he able to account
for this savage act. The judicial
authorities are IN search Of the
perpetrators OF this atrocity.

SCoRCHING INDICTMENT.-Here
is q paragraph from an address to
the Radicals of Louisiana, recent
ly issued by the "Christian Re.
publican Association" of that
State, which organization was ini-
tiated by the colored preachers OF
New Orleans, and has spread over
the State. 1t is a capital Demo.
cratic campaign document
at is the duty of all Christians
to strive to advance and build up
the cause of piety and religion in
the land. This they cannot do by
countenancing, or silently assent.
ing TO the election of men to the
Legislature who unblushingly &C.
cept Of brides. The Legislature,
at its last regular session, voted
away S1,204,670 at the special ten
days session it voted away $780,
707, making S2,435,373, beside
the millions which they gave to
the Chattanooga and other rail-
roads, and the expense Of the
State Government. Men who
went into office about two years
ago poor, can now boast of prince
~ fortunes. These extravagant
appropriations have all to be paid
by the poor people. If this spe-
cies of extravagant legislation
should continue a few sessions
more, all the property in the State
of Louisiana would not be sufl-
Gent to pay the Indebtedness. 1t
would be almost impossible for q
laborer to earn enough to pay his
taxes and support his family. We
appeal to ministers ofthe Gospel in
the State, as well as to all Christian
and honest men to join with us in
electing men to Office possessed of
sentiments, or at least
moral honesty sufficient to enable
them to Withstand the seductive
influence of bribery and Corrup-
ton, and who viii not vote away
money for speculative purposes,
or barter away the principles Of
equal rights and justice to pro-
mote their selfish purposes.
ssWhen the righteous are IN au-
lhority, the people rejoice; but
When the wicked beareth rule, the
neople mourn. PROV. xix: z

WE learn that q bill, signed by
f0~rty-eIght Of the licensed liquor
sellers Of this city, was filed in the
Chsncsry Court yesterday, eDjOin.
Ing the city from collecting the
new city liquor license, having al
ready paid the State tax. The new
revenue law Of the State distinctly
makes known that no city or COun-
~ tax can be assessed other than
the Stats tax. In the face Of
this Judge Burwell has de.
cIded that the city has a right
10 collect its own tax. The result
will show which authority shall DO
upheld, that Of Judge Burwell
or the Legislature Of the State.

case against the city, and the result
Is looked forward 70 with great In.
