CITY SCHOOLS.
How the coIored idea is Taught 20
shoot.

We have heard on responsible author
iiy that there is some prospect OF a
change 10 the organization Of the School
Board OF Visitors, namely that for pri-
vate reasons, unnecessary to mention,
Col. J. T. Lealh may withdraw from the
Board. This would be q serious misfor'
tune to the educational interests Of the
city. Without rejecting on others, we
may say that almost any one could DO
spared with less loss. He is a ripe
scholar, has liberal views, and is devoted
heart and mind to the cause of educa-
ton. For years he has devoted himself
to the work of building up schools, and
in this be has sacrificed more comfort,
time aud means than, perhaps, aby one
in Memphis. He is needed where
he is. Some complaints could be
made against the administration of our
school affairs, though he is not the re-
sponsible party, as we mentioned in a
former article. One cause in particular
is, that lot of vsgrsnt negroes from the
country are enjoying school privileges
free of expense, while white children
from outside the city limits are strictly
excluded. The class of teachers en-
ployed in these colored schools is another
Objectionable feature. Some of them ere
from the classic shades of Oberliu, and
al, we understand, hail from the "Nawth.
This, per Sc, would be no objection in
our eyes if they came here as impartial
educators. But this is not their charac-
ter. They teach the negro child one
great lesson above oil others, to-wit: that
the white race is an enemy to the negro.
This idea runs through all the teachings
of these political missionaries.
1t is q fixed fac. that the negro, what is
left of him, is free, and that his children
will psrtake of the benefits of any pub
lie school system that may be estab-
lished. The question then arises, shall
these negro children be educated up as
the enemies of the white race BY i'm
ported Radical teachers, or fairly and
impartially instructed in the ordinary
branches of education, and taught their
relative position and duties by teachers
of Southern birth and education 2 The
latter view we believe to be held by ell
thinking Southern men, and we hope
that Col. Leath agrees with us, and that
be will not for any light cause think of
leaving the Board. His assistant,
Colonel Barnum, who seems to be
chief among ten thousand negroes,
and altogether lovely in their eight, could
be spared without damage to the public
interests. We understand that he over
sees the colored schools, employs the
teachers, and is responsible for every
cause of complaint. He loves negroes
and hates Southern people. This is the
man who is paid by Shelby county to SOW
strife where there should be peace and
harmony. He has right to his political
opinions, but he has no right to infuse
his pernicious doctrines into the minds of
the negro race, who are disposed, if let
alone, to do what is right Colonel
Leath would, no doubt, perform the duties
of both positions for the pay he now re-
ceives, if permitted to carry out his own
ideas.

THE LATE STEAMBOAT DIS
ABTER.
A Few Details Additional 10 Yester-
days Report.


The telegraphic report of the blowing
up Of the steamboat Maggie Hays at
Island &C. which appeared in yesterdays
LEDGER, was confirmed in nearly every
particular when the steamer Commercial
arrived last night with the survivors Of
the Inflated vessel The few details that
could be gathered by the most vigilant
reporters throw but little additional light
on the terrible affair; but such as have
come to hand we condense for the benefit
Of our readers.
After the explosion of the defective
boilers the boat took fire in several
places, and the pilots succeeded, with
great difficulty, in running her to the
Mississippi side of the chute and making
her fast to the bank. The passengers,
numbering about twenty, including sew
eral ladies and children, we're placed on
the barge by the mate, Mr.. Wilson, and
the two pilots, Messrs. Handlau and
Sam. Jones. Mr. B. l.. Oliver, who owns
a woodward on the Arkansas side, came
to the relief of the sufferers and passen-
gers, and by his timely aid they were all
soon removed in safety TO his residence,
where every possible attention was be-
slowed. Mr.. Henry McDermott, the Sc
cond engineer, resident of Algiers,
Louisiana, died at Mr.. divers house,
after lingering few hours in great tor
ture, and was buried on the place.
The boat continued to burn until
nothing combustble was left in sight.
Captain Martin, when found on the lower
deck, whence be was blown from the hur-
ricane roof, was able to speak, and ex.
pressed deep concern for the safety Of
his people. BE was taken on board the
Commercial at Mr.. divers place, with ell
the survivors, during the night, and died
about five o'clock. The body was left at
Helena, but will be forwarded to Pitts
burg, where he left young wife and chill
dren. The survivors left for Louisville
by rail this morning
The following is list Of the killed
and wounded:
Killed-Captsiu Bernsrd G. Martin,
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; Mr.. 81 McDer-
mtt, engineer, Algiers, Louisiana.
