PHARISEEISAI.

Our correspondent "a Sub
scriber" administers a just rebuke
to the Fourth Presbyterian Church
in this City, for its cruel expulsion
of it's coloredo children from the
sunday school There is an aspect
In which we look at this thing
which our contributor. has not
touched. 1t is the tservile habit OF
too many of our people, Of sending
their children TO- sunday schools
where distinction is made on &C
count of their color. Accepting by
submission, the accursed doctrine 81
negro inferiority and allowing their
children ON the one hand to grow
up with the idea impressed on
them that white children are better
than they are, and on the other
hand the white children to foster
the notion that colored children are
Inferior to- them. Parents and
guardians, abandon this coune,
send your children to schools
where no aistinetionis made on &C
count Of color, or send thesa to no
schools. For as long, as you tamely
accept and endorse by your coq-
duct this proscriptive policy, just
so long may you expect it to last.
And at any time may your unfortu-
nate nate children li be panied, hpmiliated
and ms ulted by being. turned Of
from the schools y sincerely hops

AFFAIRS AMONG DUB PEOPLE. T

The CONVENTION of Southern col
ored men called to assemble in
Columbia, South Carolina, in Octo-
Der next, does not seem to meet
with much favor. The manner OF
calling it appears to be open to OBJ
lection. and the callers, it is alleged,
do not represent the proper constitu-
ency for SO important an assemblage.
We understand that a real Southern
Convention will be called under the
auspices of members Of the different
Southern legislatures, in connection
with other influential men of on,
race, sometime in November, at an
easily accessible point. ,, c.r
We need a Convention of the
kind mentioned for the purpose Of
understanding the peculiar diff
culties Of our people in the various
States, and to secure, a comparison
Of notes among the leading colored
men. Such q gathering would
doubtless have the effect to con-
solidate, our. votes and unity our
counsels; and if it had no other re-
suit it might be useful in showing
our democratic, friends the power
of our numbers and the calibre OF
the negro mind. a.i OIL. f.. ii,

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.

.,s ,ss For the LouIslANIAN.
MIR. Editor 80
1 am desirous Of chforicling a
significant fact, and as your iinfu-
entail paper is SO completely iden-
titled with every interest Of .hu-
mainly, 1 will ieel obliged if you
give me sufficient space in your
columns to, place this notable event
on record: 81 D.. '.. Il. .f'A.l 81
The Fourth Presbyterian Church,
corner Of, Gasqdet and Liberty
streets, had been in the habit Of adj
hitting children Of color to tnition
in their Sunday school, provided
they sat up stairs, and were taught
separately.
But last Sunday morning it was
determined to do more than this.
The colored childfea werc al sent
home again with the information
that the church did not think it was
right or proper that white and col
ored children should mix together,
therefore tho colored children had
better attend colored Sunday
school. sl1:a 4 o.. aai
This exhibition OF utter dislike to
these children tinted by the Com
mon Creator for his own inscrutable
purposes, is in such fragrant viola
ton of every principle of common
sense, civilization md religion, that
to invoke the execution of sensible
and good people, it deserves but to
be mentioned, Such an act derives
importance and significance - Ia
mentable testimony Of the unchang-
cd disposition Of q professedly TO
ligious organization, after the full
accomplishment of one of the
mightiest revolutions in the social,
civil, political and religious condi-
ton Of q country and its people.
which tho world has ever seen.
Such . wicked. senseless antagonism
to the principle Of equality in Gods
church is evidence of the pro-slav-
cry proelivities of such, men rs Mr..
Dixon. But this is only the oppo-
sition ola pigmy to = pyramid
the stride of o dwarf to the onward
march. of a giant. The time must
come; Mr.. Dixon. when you and l
are forgotten in the, great future,
when. Gods church will be sufici-
emily purified as not to seek for fit
ness for. scriptural teaching in q
Sunday school in "the color of a
skin" .4h.

STAIGHT UNIVERSITY.

This excellent institution is a
monument of the missionary enter
prise of the American Missionary
Association. The University build
ing is an ornament to our city, and
the provision made for the instruc-
ton of our youth is both generous
and comprehensive. Following its
usual course, in the establishment of
such institutions, Of which there are
many throh e;hout the Southern
States, the American Missionary As
ISOLATION has kept in view the de-
velopment of a capacity for self
government, among colored people
quite as fully as it has looked to
their elevation through educational
machinery. 1t is the policy OF that
noble Association to select cOlored
men, not only az trustees to holdlthe
property in which their children are
taught, but it also procures, where
it can, all things being equal, the
services of colored men to discharge
the various educational duties of the
institutions under its care. =
Among the many Institutions of
this kind in the South, there, are
few which have the advantages Of
Straight University. Patronized by
the wealthiest and most intelligent
of the colored citizens of New Or
leans; furnishing an audience room
on Sunday and during the week,
for those who seek intelligent
preaching and interesting discus
sions, it has naturally become a
center of influence and q .reAector
OF intelligence among us.
Since DR.. Thompson has taken
charge as chaplain, the Sunday con-
gregations have increased in num-
bers and responsibility; while dur
ing the week, the lectures Of DIR.
Newman. and others have suggested
interesting. topics of discussion
among the people. We earnestly
hope that the citizens of New Or
leans will show by their patronage
of Straight University that they
appreciate the benevolence Of our
Northern friends in putting within
our reach, such noble instrument
Of good, without money and with
out price.
