This seems TO be the most exciting Bill
now before Congress, and so apparent is
u that something ought To be done in
this direction TO stop the outrages of
some OF the dendish members of this in
fernal organization. that II would appear
To the mind Of every man who. is a lover
OF oider, and his country, that not even q
Democnt in Congress would refuse to
vote for q law TO give relief to the quiet
citizens against q hired band of outlaws
But the fillibustcring of Democratic men,
bers over the Senate Amendments is
likely to delay the passage of a law So
much to be desired. While the Demo
cratic Senators are making speeches
against the measure which has for
its object the suppression Of the most
dastardly crime the Ku-Klux embodied
by their haraDgues are increasing their
nefarious work AS descriptive OF the
situation at Washington, brought about
by these Democratic Ku-Klux speeches.

two since The victim Of their mock
performance Was an inufrnsive colored
lad, whose occupation was selling pies
and cakes ut the Capitol. The chIval-

outer garments and sloucIed hats, nabled
from the Senatorial cloak room. made
sally near midnight, and seized the black
boy nj the apple stand, while he sat In q
browse. Placing rope around his neck
they rushed him through the basement
making horrible noises, saying they were
ku-klux, and declared their intention of
hanging him. The boy, frightened out
OF his wits. cried Justify for life. Tie

The Democratic thieves of New York.
who stole the Erie Railroad. and then paid
the Democratic judges and Lesisla'u rc To
keep them In possession OF their stolen
property, are coming To grief. The Fede-
raj Courts have jurisdiction of the liiiga-
ton now pending between the robbers
and the real owners O! the road. and Fisk
and Gould, who have been in the habit of
sheltering themselves with injunciiGns
and mandates issued by the Democratic
judges of New York City, find themselves
brought To the bar of u tribunal whose
judges they dare not approach with their
scoundrelly appliances. The Iascals are
badly frightened, ard there is now fair
prosper, that they may be compelled to
surrender the ruad io the owners. In
that event Fisk will devote himself exclu-
sivcly to pnlitics, and Boss Tweed. who
now leads the garg of Democratic thieves
that plunder the tax payers in New York
City, will find formidable rival in the
great railroad thief who aspires Ia lea,l

THE REASON WHY

Complaints have come to our e.rs from
several of the pstrons of the RErr fcsN,
on the ground of II. L. Philips icing in
the office, and some reflection sn IA for
retaining him.
Without any explanation there may be
apparent grounds for dissatisfaction. In
reply to our patrons who do not wish 10
be imposed upon will say that H. L.
Philips Is not the editor OF the paper nor
has he any interest therein further than
. workman as an apology for cur own
course viii say that in the fall Of 1860,
we took the responsibility OF conducting
the paper, which at the expiration Of one
year from that time resulted In q loss TO

required on The paper
After ous years experience we believed

Office to Messrs. Belangee & Nichols.

here; on credit receiving small portion

death took from our midst c. r. Belaagee
which lei the whole burden upon Mr..
Nichols, aud he being a young man the
burden of paying for the Office and OF
managing the editorial aud work and d.

were compelled to take back the Office q!

Report Of the Conmissioner Of Education.
We have received, with the compliments
Of John Eaton, Jr., commissioner, the re-
port of the Bureau of Education for 1870
1t is a very valuable publication. and en-
braces information on the subject of educa-
ton from all the States and Territories.
The report is of the most comprehensive
description, embracing not ONLY. what is the
popular idea of education, but t1embracing
what is not, we believe. usually included in
educational reports-the means of educa-
ton for the deaf, dumb and blind; schools
for idiots and. imbeciles, reclaimipg Of the
insane and reforming Of the inebriate. OF
this last the report says "they are surpris
ing their friends with the results they ac-
complish." The report, in concise but
conclusive way, shows the practicability of
educational means for the amelioration, if
not the total cure of insanity. We find
also some highly judicious remarks con-
cerning'the obligations Of the national gov
ernment in regard to education.
Among the old States, in total annual exA
penditre for school purposes, New York
stands at the head, spending $l0,002, 1868 50.
Illinois leads among tie newer States, max
ing an annual school Expenditure Of $780,
SSl. So far as efficiency of the school
systems can be indicated by expenditure,
the Southern States are deplorably behind
other portions Of the Union, Florida being
the lowest, her annual expenses for schools
averaging So, ,2S9 Of, and Louisiana highest,
her annual school expenses reaching $724,-
243 IS. In regard to our own State, we re-
gret to see so meagre report, though We
heartily agree with the document, that there
has been uhwise management. 1t is to be
hoped that the next publication of the Com
missioner of Education will report an inn
proved condition of educational matters in
our State.

l OYrlcx BOARD OF ETArH ESGlx11Rs,
New Orleans, April 16 ls7l )
EDIroR RKruBLICAN:
Upon my return from the Bonnet Carre
erevasse, this evening, found very limited
news from the other crevasses, nothing def
mite or worth publishing.
By.telegraph, learn that the river has
fallen three inches at Vicksbnrg, and two
and half inches ct Baton Rouge; and is
now eight feet eight inches below high
water of 1867 at Vicksburg. and thirteen
inches at Baton Rouge below the high
water of this year.
i found, on our visit there to-day, that the
Bonnet Carre crevasse was eleven hundred
feet wide; but the current and waves had
decreased in proportion as the back lands
have become filed with water, and the sur
face Of the river lowered.
The high water mark at Logues' is almost
exactly twenty-five feet above the level OF
Lake Pontchartrain, the levee being over
twelve feet high. The natural surface Of
the ground at Porche's where the crevasse
comnenced) is but ten feet above the level
of the lake, the slope Of the ground toward
the lake is at least five feet in the first mile,
and therefore when the crevasse broke the
slope was seventeen feet in the first mile,
twelve feet of which were in the first hun.
dred feet, and the speed of the current and
digging effect Of stch tall can be Nappre-
ciated by persons acquainted with our light
anuvial coil. To-day the river has fallen,
and the plantation is covered with water to
the base Of the levee. Therefore, say
again, the current through the creyasse has
decreased, and probably no more water
passes to-day than yesterday.
I am indebted to Colonel Walton for a
calculation of the volume of water passing,
that he made this morning, before our
arrival. which shows that 10000 cubic feet
per second, or one-sixth Of the whole vol
ume of the Mississippi river at that point,
passes through the crevasse.
The work Of saving the ends of the levee
is progressing very slowly on account Of
want of experienced labor, and the chang
ing condition of the field Of operations.
The steam pile-driver has got hard aground
away from its work, and the hand pile
driver was only at work, which. was doing
good service at the lower end of the vreak.
The temporary works at the upper end
have washed away,s and it is now exposed
to the current and cavingegradually. Fl
nancial arrangements must be made to
prosecute this work with deliberate, system
atic and concentrated labor, Or what we are
doing will be thrown away. In my opinion,
it is utterly useless to attempt to close this
.crevasse, for the preparations could not be
made before the river will fall, and as the
damage yet to be done is but little more
than question Of a months duration, and
mot much in extent, large expenditure
would be thrown away. 1 hope means will
be provided to save the ends of the levee
that less will have to be rebuilt.
Yours most respectfully,
NJ. JEFF THOMPSON,
Chief State Engineer.
