Improved Travelling Facilities.
The untiring energy of Colonel H. S. Nc
Comb, president Of the new management of
the New OrleanS jackson and Great North
ern railroad, in connection with the Missis-
sippi Central railway, is rapidly placing
this great through line in the front rank of
railroad enterprises of the country.
Improvement is the order of the day
along the entire line from the depot, foot Of
Calliope street, which has been 80 thorough
ly overhauled and repaired, that for the
comfort and convenience of the travelling
public it can not be excelled in the South, to
its connection with the Louisville line, a
distance of four hundred and fifty-eight
miles, the busy workmen can be seen from
morning until night.
The Thorough manner in which tliis line
has. been repaired is proved by the regu-
larity Of the trains carrying the great
through mails between the North and
South, as well as the fact that passengers
by this line arrive in New York and all
points North, East and West from nine and
half to twenty-four hours in advance Of
any route, with but one change between
New Orleans and New York and interme-
diate points, and the many other advan-
tages offered. which is appreciated by the
travelling public, as shown by the large in
crease of business over this line

rsNURs OF rsACHEns' POSITIONS.


At the recent meeting Of the City Schoo
Board two resolutions were offered, which
must meet tho commendation of all, except
the bigUted and fanatic few who are deter
mined to see nothing right in body com
posed of men entertaining different political
views from themselves.
One Of these resolutions, offered by Gen.
eral Longstreet, has not yet been passed;
but there is no doubt whatever that it will
meet the approval Of . majority, if not all,
be passed with some amendments ihcreas-
ing its comprehensiveness and efficiency.
This resolution is to the effect that NO
teacher, once appointed, shall be displaced
or dismissed without proper cause.
This resolution once passed, and made q
permanent rule by the Board Of Directors,
will 60 long way to increase the efficiency
of the schools by stimulating and encour-
aging the teachers. One of the greatest
drawbacks our school system has expert
enced since its Inauguration, has been the
constantly recurring or chilling apprehen-
sion of teachers that they may be displaced
whenever a change takes place in the Board
of Directors. 1t hardly needs argument to
show that the teachers should not feel as if
the continuance of their positions depended
upon the arbitrary will of one man, or even
upon a committee composed of several per-
sons. They should feel that they were Sc
cure during good behavior, and that their
demission could only take place upon
charge involving unftness, which charge
must be properly proven. and its suficiency
convincing to majority of the board; in
short, they should have the equal privilege
Of those accused of crime, not to be pun
ished without trial.
Under the rules recently adopted by the
Board of Directors for their own govern
ment q teacher can not be appointed or dis
placed in any ward without the express
consent of the directors representing that
ward. Under the workings of this rule an
individual director will have almost abso-
lutte power as regards the retaining or dis
placement. of the teachers in his ward.
Now, it must be evident that the reasons
which would convince an individu al di.
rector that dismissal in any case ought to
take place should be sufficient cogency to
convince the board, otherwise these reasons
could not amount to much.
The benefit to the schools of a rule such
a. the resolution of General L0ngstreet
contemplates, can hardly be overrated. As
things have been heretofore, no extent Of
capacity, attainment OF faithful service need
stand in the way or prevent director from
arbitrarily making dismissal in order to
provide for q favorite or some one backed
by strong influence.
We do not at all suspect that any of the
present Board of Directors would abuse
their positions either by arbitrary dismiss
ais any moro than by capricious appoint
ment. Still it is entirely right that the
principle Of General Longstreet sheuld he
made standing rule simply that the teach
era may depend on q defined law rather
than on underlined caprice.

Among our several insurance companies,
the one whose name heads this notice ranks
eminently high. 1t entered, few days
ago, upon it's sixth year, and corresponding
with its young age is it's vitality. Facts and
figures will substantiate our statement. Ac-
cording to the fifth annual statement of the
Germania Insurance Company, published
elsewhere in to-day's issue, it's assets amount
to $50, ,46l Al. For the year ending March
81, 1871, the company received $22l 40 SO
for fire, marine and river premiums. The
company was rather unfortunate the past
year, unusually many fires and marine and
river accidents having occurred, involving q
loss of nearly one hundred thousand dol,
lars. Still. owing to it's efficient manage
.menr, the company declared q net profit of
$l5, ,38l II, and was thus enabled to pay to the
stockholders five dollars dividend per share.
The stockholders can, indeed, be satisfied
with their profit. For the five years during
which the Germania Insurance Company has
been in existence, they received, altogether,
sixty dollars in dividends for each share for
which only twenty dollars have been paid.
The directors and officers of the Germania
Insurance Company are gentlemen thor
oughly acquainted with insurance matters.
To the conscientiousness and efficiency
with which they are managing the affairs
Of the company is principally due its sue
cess and its high standing in our commu-
nifty. Whenever . company deserved the
unlimited patronage of the public, tho Ger
mania Insurance Company IL the one. Its
safety and its large resources have become
proverbial, and the Inducements it offers
arc most liberal. Tho ofioe Of the Germania
Insurance Company il located at No. ia

oDD rKLLows' HALL,

The Festival ef tie Misden scheels.
The charming feature last evening WA
the smstenr concert, given in tho supper
room, by over q score 6f singers. The finest
and most appreciated melody was the
Last Rose Of Summer" tho principal voice
being Mrs. BIS, who was encored heartily,
all the participants joining in the chorus,
and creating quito furere. Mr.. D.,
although called on suddenly, gave short
French song, which pleased everybody.
Ten pieces, rendered artisticslly, comprised
the programme. A lady played "The
Mocking Bird" in style now and really
unique.
Gentlemen in considerable numbers took
lunch at the hall yesterday, and retired
pleased with their experience, wishing that
the festival would last forever. This i the
last day, but lunch tables win be ready
between MONDAY and two o'clock P. N.
The one hundred children will give .
matinee to-day, and it will BE- we'll worth
attending. Their music, although not as
finished as that heard in the Opera House,
yet has its charms such az do not attach to
professionals.
At night skaters will revolve in easy mo-
ton around the floor, as lightly as if they
were winged.
Toward the close all goods remaining un-
sold will be disposed of to the highest bid
der by newly pledged auetioneer, whose
talents are expected to lend khock-down ar
guments. Good bargains may be expected.
Last evening the rooms were crowded to
excess by visitors who did not spare their
small change nor their large. Ladies' at the
tables obtained scarce . moment Of rest, they
being in constant demand. It is suspected
few of them will almost rejoice when the
fair il past, for their labors have been
arduOus.
Jacobs Well, with three charming Re-
beccas, Stacked the thirst Of hundreds last
night, although the source sent out ripples
of cheerful lemonade instead of crystal
waters. The fountain is still fairly supplied.
The Bouquet table was compelled to send
forth for new lots of dainties last night, so
vast was the number of hungry callers.
At other tables strawberries and ice cream
melted away as if they we're good to eat.
Remember that this is the last oppertu-
nifty to witness this fairy scene, and We ad-
wise all bachelors to throw themselves away
on this occasion-the best they will have
during the year.
Next Tuesday evening the tableaux will
be given. By hints received, we are assured
that our citizens may expect something out
of the ordinary. The preliminaries are in
capable hands, such as must make the
tableaux complete success.

The Tidal Wave and the Levees.
We are informed that the levees in the
neighborhood of New Orleans are in q very
critical condition. A strong southern wind
has blown up the gulf and, one of the first
recorded facts, the rise has come up the
river.
We gave few days ago telegram from
General JEFF. Thompson, to look out for the
tidal wave. and now we have evidence that
this food has caused the present excitement
among the planters. We have, however,
some encouraging information to give them.
We have just seen Captain Hatch, Of the
State Engineers, who has this moment re-
turned from the Villere crevasse, nine
miles below the city, which he has succeeded
in closing, mainly attributable to the energy
and good will of Captain Vedder Of the
United States army, who responded to the
first warning, and was on the ground at an
early hour with forty Of his men willing to
work, who waded in the water like veterana
Captain Hatch yesterday visited the
levees above aud below Kennerville, for
twenty miles above the city, and made ar
rangements to have all dangerous places
protected.
We learn that the crevasse on the Louisa
plantation, now owned by Freret Brothers,
was closed in few hours by the neighbors.
The reported crevasse above Bayou
Goula has been anticipated, and if it occurs,
it will be from the neglect Of those immedi-
ately interested.
1t must be understood that at the present
time there is no board or organization to
build or repair the levees. The Legislature
has abolished the Board of Public Works,
and chartered levee company, simply
creating board of State engineers to regu-
late or watch the company, and gave the
engineers no power to contract. Fortunately
they are live men, and will do all in their
power-and a little beyond, if necessary
to save the country from inundation. 1t
must also be remembered that this food
comes up the river, and is within few
inches of the highest water ever known
below New Orleans, and this tidal wave may
70 on to Donaldsonville. 1t has been ascer.
tanned by General Thompson that the water
gauge at the foot of Canal street il incor
rect, and instead of the water being twenty
one inches below the high water Of 1862, as
the gauge indicates, it is but few inches
below, and the levees south of the city and
above, for many miles, are entirely over
washed by the winds and swells from steam
boats.
