Tho state of Louisiana has Con.
stiiuiion that WINS made by negroes
and carpcthaggers, and, rs a matter
of course, il is document prohibiting
distinctions on account Of color or race
In all places Of public eharactcr.--
One oi'it articles provides that "all
children In the State shall be admitted
to the schools or other institutions Of
learning, sustained or established by
the State, in common, without distinc.
ton Of race, color, or previous condi.
ton. There shall be no separate
schools or institutions of learning
established exclusively for any race
by the State of Louisiana" The
negro and carpot-baggors' Legi5la.
lures enacted n school law TO carry
ont the said school article Of the Con.
stitution, and the State Superinten-
dent of Schoos-one Rev. Conway
is enforcing that law by putting ne.
gro children in the common schools
with the whites A great commotion
among white parents and their chill
dren is the consequence. Several
public meetings have been held by the
whites, and arrangements made to
establish private schools for white
children alone, leaving the common
or public schools to tho negroes
The German citizens Of New Or
leans are progressing in very busi
ness.liIe way. Their plan is TO estab
lish conc primary school in each oI
the six districts of the city, and one
intermediate school in the First anc
Second districts, the establishing of q
high school depending on the reports
of the Committees on Finances and
Teachers" The enrolling of pupils
has already commenced, and subscrip
tions arc being freely made,
The future of the public school sys-
tenn is assuming serious appearance.
The Catholics will not send their
children to the public schools on
account OF religious scruples. White
protestants will not send theirchildror
to the public schools that admit blacl;
children equally with white The
result will be that the public schools
will be left altogether to the negroes
White parents, VITO are too poor tC
send their children TO the private
schools, rather than let their children
90 without education will send then
to the Catholic free schools. In that
way the Catholic free schools viii
secure as pupils pretty much all Tho
poor white children. Poor people vii
prefer their children to be educated a.
Catholics, rather than educated a'
social albinos. Either that, or Pro
testant whites will have to do rs the
Catholics; tax themselves to establish
free schools for poor white children
and be taxed at the same time to keeI
up the public schools used altogether
by black and colored children.
Such, it appears to us, viii be tho
result Of tho general enforcement
Of the Louisiana school code, whicl
is embodied in Mr.. Summers bill
Such is the drift of the tide in tbes,
days of Radical reconstruction. Th,
innovations made by these politica
infdels upon the moral, social anc
political status of our country, is trul,
lamentable to every American patriot
The rooms of the Common Schoo
system are being turned into ncgr,
pesthouses, in their mad attempt t
abrogatc the decrecs and distinctions
of the Creator between the races.
Egypt of old, was cursed with lice
but Radicalism has been substitute,
in this country Cor similar purpose
and is really more effective. 1t
effects arc heard, felt, seen and smclt
