We hear of Thomas w. Conway, State
Superintendent Of Public Education, in New
York, trying to secure from ''three to five
hundred teachers" to be employed in the
schools of this State. 1t would seem much
more consistent if the teachers who are
here and have been working hard for the
past month could be paid the money that is
due them. Suppose he should get this large
number of teachers what would he do with
them and where would the money come to
pay them with! We can imagine the dis
gust and disappointment of four or five
hundred teachers brought here from the
North under promise of immediate employ
ment sat salaries ranging from seyenty.tiye
to one hundred dollars per month"; on their
being made aware of the true state OF at
fairs.-Baton Rouge Courier.
We have heard of the above rumor. but
did not feel at liberty to credit it. As there
are but few schools in the State organized
outside of New Orleans, and the latter well
supplied with teachers, it is obvious that
there is no demand nor even any prospect OF
demand for teachers in this State for many
months.

The Houston Union has this to say about
the schooner Lille Weeks. the seizure of
which vessel was reported yesterday:
Schooner Lille Weeks, Captain Brown.
from Havana, has been seized by the Gus
tomhOuse officers at the port of Galveston.
for violation of United States revenue laws.
and turned over to United States Marshal
Parker The vessel sailed from Havana and
entered Galveston, after passage OF thirty
five days. Suspicious were aroused that all
was not right, and upon investigation OF
the case by Deputy Collector Colonel +. ID.
Janver and Chief Inspector I. c. Biddle.
facts were elected which led to her seizure.
One of the crew gave information that be-
fore coming to this port she touched at some
point on the coast and discharged full
cargo of foreign goods, upon which no duties
had been paid. This probably is not the
first time the captain of the Lille Weeks
has defrauded the government of its just
dues.

the Times, of this city:
The Chattanooga Railroad is now in com
plete running order between Mobile and
Pascagoula, and in less than two months all
the gaps between that point and this city
will be spanned and ready for the locomo-
tive. West of the Mississippi, work on the
same road is being prosecuted with great
energy, and we have hopes of our long
wished for railway connection with Texas
within two wears. Then we will have the
cheapest and best beef market of any great
city in the world, and our business will in
crease hundred fold.
