Hebrew Educational Society,

On Calliope street, between Prytania and
ST. Charles streets, there stands, erected
within the last few years, an imposing edi-
fee which gives to the eye of the beholder
an idea of solidity combined with proper
perception of the graceful and the orna-
mental. This building was erected in 1866
by the Hebrew Educational Society of New
Orleans, and is intended exclusively for
scholastic purposes. The strong common
sense that seems to pervade the ideas of the
Jewish people in everything that pertains
to their community affairs seems to have had
its full sway in everything that relates to
this building for educational purposes.
The capacity of the building erected by
the Hebrew Educational Society. at a cost
of about $4,000, fits it for at least the ac-
commodaton of one thousand pupils, and
all the furniture and fittings are of the very
best description.
The officers of the Hebrew Educational
Society consist at the present time of the
following gentlemen: S. A. Levy, president;
Mr.. L. Navra, first vice president; l.. Loeb,
second vice president; NJ. Keifer, treasurer;
NJ. Block, secretary. The Board of Di-
rectors are Messrs. A. Lehman, j. SimOn
s. Kaufman, j. L. Leucht, G. L. Nixsilst,
B. Gersom, L. Teutch.
The faculty of the institution consists of
Rev. H. S. Jacobs, superintendent; Mr..
Chandler, principal DR.. Paar, Mrs. Paar,
Miss Stuart, Mrs. Dalsheimer and Miss
Jacobs.
The annual exercises commenced yester-
day morning by an examination of the
primary classes, principally in English and
Hebrew reading.
In the evening the nature of the exercises
were more diffused, occupying a wider
range than in the morning. One of the
most interesting of these recitations was
the one in Hebrew, the study of which
language is pursued under able instructors
to an extent that promises to ma Ike it a
living language once more.
The evenings exercises closed with the
singing of piece of music, sung by num-
Der of the pupils, accompanied. on the
piano by Mr.. Chandler.
We learn that this examination will be
continued until next Thursday inclusive.

The Railroads.

The New Orleans and Mobile railroad
was temporarily obstructed by the effects
of the recent severe storm, though the track
was but slightly damaged and the bridges
stood firm. A train from Mobile was de-
layed all Saturday night this side of the
Rigolettes while gang of men were repair
ing the track on the prairies, and did not
arrive here till noon Sunday The track and
trains are all right now.
Such was the severity of the gale that the
steamer to and from Manchac, connecting
with the jackson railroad trains, suspended
one or two trips, but the line is all right now.
Yesterday at halfpast twelve o'clock E. @.
Sewall, Esq, general superintendent of the
road, telegraphed to Vice President Pritch-
ard from Manchac that no transfer was ne
cessary above Manchac, and that the train
had just arrived with all the cars OF the
mail train south without transfer.
There was an apprehension that the
track might be rendered impossible beyond
Manchac by the rising waters of the lake.
The train mentioned arrived here a little
beyond the usual time.
In the city the Canal street cars have
ceased running, and the track is almost
entirely destroyed. During a portion OF
the day yesterday the Claiborne street cars
ceased running. At three o'clock Sunday
afternoon the Common street line of cars
was withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Republican
executive committee of Alabama twelve
signaturesf have sent a communication to
the President protesting against receDt
official changes in that State. 1t contains
the following sentence: 1--WE are the more
impelled so to speak because we are aware
that the administration, while we keep
silent, is .iustifable or even necessarily led
to rely upon the statements or recOmmen-
dations OF those whose positions or pre-
tences enable them to practice impOsitiOns
on it." The document lacks the signature
of only one member of the committee and
represents every Republican paper in the
State but one.
The latest official advices report the num-
Der of Indians massacred at Fort Grant at
eighty.
Weather Report-Synopsis for the past
twenty four hours.-The barometer has re-
manned sensibly stationary so far as heard

valley, and has risen from Wisconsin to the

Neglect of the New Canal Company.

The following letter was sent to Duncan
F. Kenner, who acts for the lessees of the
New canal, more than nine months ago.
The fault of the city authorities appears to
be that they did not insist on that work
being done without delay:

SIR have the honor to call your atten-
ton to the following extract from a report

at Claiborne and Broad streets, the levees
around the basins between Broad street

and Carrollton avenues, to be repaired and
completed Immediately by the Canal Com
pany."
1t is requested that the work above
specified will be completed with as little

SCHOOL.
Correspondence of the Republican,
ANTE CRY, LOUISIANA,
June l, 1871.

Correspondence of the Republican,
ANTE CITY LOUISIANA,
June l, 1871. 5
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
At Amite City, on the jackson railroad, is
living, working institution. On the eve
ming of May q the public exercises of this
school came off, and notwithstanding the
continued rain through the day, the water
and mud, quite cOncourse of the colored
population, together with some OF the white
citizens, and Superintendents Richardson
and Conway, assembled upon the beautiful
site selected for the picnic and demOnstra-
ton.
The exercises opened by singing, in which
the school engaged heartily, and displayed
quite tact for time-keeping. Then came
some declamations, dialogues and the
uueen-crowning ceremonies, all of which
passed off very much to the credit of both
teacher and taught-Miss Ramsey all the
while displaying her great capacity to
govern, which is doubtless the secret of her
success as a teacher. And no one, l might
say in this connection, should engage in the
responsible avocation of teaching who does
not possess to a very eminent degree this
cOmmandatory talent.
temporary suspension of the school
exercises was announced when the State
Superintendent of Public Education, Hon.
Thomas W. Conway, made an appropriate
and sententious little speech. He kindly
thanked the white people for the encour-
agement they had given to the colored
school, and believed the initiatory moves
now being made in the great work of public
education as premonitory of harmonious
and successful results. He advised the
colored people to send their children to
! school, to avoid drunkenness, to be frugal
industrious, and to acquire property. Much
| good, we believe, has been accomplished by
this visit of our popular and worthy State
| Superintendent Mr.. Conway is eminently
qualified for the position which he occupies
Under his superintendency desirable re
form is being inaugurated in the public
school system of the State of Louisiana
As a speaker he is instructive, his voice full
and commanding He has kind heart, al
untiring energy and face too full of gener
osity and benevOlence to be the mask o.

Communicated.
The United states District JudGeship.

From an editorial which appeared in the
REPUBLICAN of the sixteenth ultimo, it is
to be presumed that the present judge of
the United States District Court for this
district will soon resign.
In that event, the people, and the mem
bers of the bar especially, are interested in
the matter of the succession. 1t is expected
that the appointment will be made from
the ranks of the party now in power. But
even then there may be choice.
What is most desirable to all is that the
appointee shall be a gentleman of fair
legal attainments and abilities, of unques-
toned integrity, and one who will forget
all partisan feeling while sitting as Judge
one, in short, whose aim will be to admins
ter law and justice without fear, favor or
affection.
Among others Colonel Charles Case has
been named for the place; and it is under
stood that he would accept the position. With
no wish or intention to, in any way, detract
from the merits or claims of other aspirants,
it is respectfully suggested that no one
could be selected whose appointment would
afford more general satisfaction, or who could
better adOrn the position than Colonel Case.
Beginning his professional career after a
thorough legal training, and having had an
experience of more than thirty years, it is
believed that his legal attainments are all
that could be desired. Having held many
official positions of honor and trust, and
having discharged their duties to the entire
satisfaction of the government and the com
munity, and being still poor, is the bes
evidence of his answering integrity.
Colonel Case has always been and still il
| a Republican, and the writer of this, wht
knew him in Congress, can testify that hi
course was dignifed and courteous TOWARD
his opponents, but firm in maintaining wha
he deemed to be right. He was never de
nunciatory or obtrusive, nor has he been 81
| here.
| Those who know him best feel confden
that he would not permit political or pei
sonal considerations to influence his judg
ment. He would reflect honor upon the ap
pointing power give entire satisfaction t
the profession and to litigants.

unsuccessfully.
