Poor Louisiana.

Under this caption the Mobile
RsTister gives the following SGD
but truthful picture of the condi-
tion Of affairs ia this State:
The public school system Of Lou-
isiana has been turned over BY 8
monprel black-andtan Legislature
70 Gle tender mercies 81 Ignorant,
beastly negroes and theiying car
petbaggers, and henceforth the
blacks are to be forced into white
schools by law. This would result
Ia the utter breaking up OF these
schools if the people retained g.
nouQh spirit 70 resist The outrage
BY taking their children out Of
schools to which negroes are adj
United. A sad change has come
over the people Of Louisiana under
the iron heel and despotic rule Of
negroes, adventures and bayonets.
They have either lost all manhood
and love Of liberty, and sunk down
into The apathy Of Mexicans, a.
bout their political rights, or have
given themselves up, body and
soul, to the Establishments Of rings,
stocks and Office.
1t Is melancholy to think Of so
cultivated and elegant a commune
~ as New Orleans, once so sensi-
tive about its privileges, tamely
submitting to the plundering
schemes Of Warmoth and bis gang
Of renegade Confederates and fshy
Democrats, and the enforcement
Of mixed schools By a purchasable
Legislature, made up in part Of
venal white men and negroes, with
all the vices of slaves. The press,
which should ever stand as q rock
between these vampires Of carpet
baggery and the people, contents
itself with two honorable excep-
tions) with mild, deprecatory plati-
t65taseeaes about these hBInUuB OuLrages
upon the liberties of the city and
State, and with Chronicling the So
cial and political movements Of dis
tingaished carpet-baggers, scala
wags and negroes, and putting
quack medicines and catch-penny
advertisements. Madame de Steal
once said that "those who deserved
liberty generally achieved it, and
Il Louisiana wants liberty, let her
people 60 heartily to work in the
great duty Of regenerating the
State by getting it out of the hands
Of the Kelloggs, Vests, Warmoths,
Dunns, Flanders, Conways, Car
tiers, sheridans, Hahns, and others
of that kidney, and putting it into
the hands Of bona fde property
owners and citizens who are and
have always been honorably inden-
tilted with the State. Drive out
the garpet-baggers first by Demo-
cratic ballots. Let the Democracy
go to work, terribly in earnest,
and neither sleep nor eat until The
last one is driven from the State
In disgrace.

commerce, in building up towns and
cities, in developing our rich mineral
and agricultural resources, in building
our great lines Of railroad, and in culti-
waiting our boundless praiIies. For
these reasons Southern and Western

high rates Of interest prevail, it can
grant insurance cheaper and pay better
dividends than any Eastern Company.
For this reason, all persons DESTROYS of

Its local board of Louisiana Directors

A National Time System Proposed.

Mr.. G. T Dowd, of Saratoga, has de-
vised national system of time for
railroads." the scientific part of which
receives the Endorsement of Professor
Eoenis and Newton, of Yale College,
Professor Hough, OF the Albany Oh
servatory, and the Professor of Astron-
omy at the Military Academy at West
Point, and the practicability and FEAST
bility of which is already Endorsed by
the superintendent of many of our
most important roads, such as the Bos-
ton and Albany, Connecticut River,
Hartford and New Haven, Hartford,
Providence and Fishkill, New York
Central, Erie, Harlem, and Lake Shore
and Chicago. The work was an i'm
mense labor, involving eight thousand
compilations for longitude. 1t adopts
Washington time for the eastern por-
ton of the country as standard time;
one hour slower than Washing
ton time for the Mississippi
Valley; two hours slower for the Rocky
Mountain section, and three hours
slower for the Pacific States. These
standards are designated by the small
figures 0, l, 2, 3, respectively placed in
a little elevated position before the
names of the stations. Then, to desig
nate the minute difference between the
local time of any station and railroad
time or standard time, small figures are
placed in little elevated position after
the names of the stations. These fig
ures, when they indicate that railroad
time is to fast, have the sign before
them, and the sign-when they indicate
railroad time too slow. If adopted, the
whole system, being very simple,
would, it is presumed, soon be under
stood by the travelling public. The
traveller could keep his own time
wherever he might go, and take the cars
by his own watch as well in one part of
the country as in another.

Anecdote Of King william.

A Brunswick paper gives an anecdote
illustrating the King of Prussia's kind
hoartndnass- A svidie --um Stargard,
in Mecklenburg, is on ths outpost be-
fore Paris. Here he / o9ved letter
from home, and, as he had been long
time without news, he could not re-
frain from opening it immediately. In
reading it he became so absorbed that
he had no eye or ear for what passed
around him. Suddenly he heard a
noise, looked up and perceived the
King and Crown Prince, with their
retinue. Startled, he let the let
ter fall, and gave the customary
salute. The King, remarking his
anxiety and confusion, stepped up
to him in a friendly way and asked
".Well, a letter from your sweetheart ~
&. NO, your Majesty, from my father, "
he replied. "May / read the letter, or
are there secrets in itl" asked the
King. The soldier handed the letter to
the King, who returned to his suit and
read aloud as follows "In fortnight
your sisters wedding comes off we
shall all greatly miss you on that day,
but your old mother is most of all
vexed at not seeing you here. 1t does
not matter, however, only go to the
French in earnest, SO that the insatia.
BILE mouth of those fellows may be
very soon stopped" The King returned
the letter and rode on No long time
elapsed before the soldier was relieved
from his post. He received fourteen
days furloagh, and was able, at the
Kings expense, to make journey tC
MeckleDburg and attend the wedding

Hostility of the French Peasantry.

The North German Gazette, referring
to the accommodating expeditions sent
out by Prince Frederick Charles, says:
s'These were mostly attended with
great difficulties. The cayalary were
fred at from every farm and every
distant point. Solitary agricultural Ia
borers at their approach threw away
the spade, seized gun lying beside
them on the ground and fired; every
house became a petty fortress, every
blouse a Franc-Tireur. Such persons
are daily brought in to the general
conanadndos, to whom the decision in
such cases is intrusted, and many of
them are accompanied by priests, part
ly as instigators and partly as actors.
Everybody taken with gun in his
hand, in accordance with notice pla-
carded at the town or village corners ON
entering any district, is condemned to
death. Only by Draconic seventies
can this treacherous way of carrying on
war be repressed. The towns of Sens
and Nemours have been severely pun
ished. In the former postal and tele-
graph officials were disarmed by the in
habitants and led away prisoners; in
the latter forty-seven Uhlans were sur
prised. The isolated officer who is
sent out to get information or reconnoi-
tire is exposed to the greatest danger, "
