LET THE CUBANs BUY CUBA,

An English newspaper of some import
ance suggests that since Great Britain has
ended her troubles with the United States
Tor the time being, it would not be i'm
proper at the first favorable opportunity
Tor the government to interfere in some
way to effect settlement of the difficult
ties between Spain and Cuba. English
opinion seems to be settling down to the
belief that the revolution in Cuba must

OUR MAIL SERVICE.

That Louisiana has ever had a mail
service into the interior worthy of the
name, we think no one will be found
bold enough to assert. We have been
always notoriously at disadvantage in
this particular. The alleged reason for
this is obvious enough, and has been
urged sufficient number of times. 1t is
that as the population did not afford that
support to the department which was
deemed adequate to the expense, the gov
eminent could not afford to perform the
service. While this excuse might be
pleaded by a private individual en-
gagged in the enterprise for profit,
it is not applicable to the government.
Having exercised the constitutional
prerogative to establish postofice and
post roads, and forbidden the carriage
of letters by private conveyance, the gov
ernment assumes the corollary duty to
perform the service well, faithfully and
impartially for all the people of the United
States, and afford to everybody, when
practicable, the means of sending and
receiving letters. In some portions of
the country the revenues derived from the
postal service are large, while in others
the receipts do not pay the expenses.
But as any deficit has to be made up from
the common purse of the republic, and is
invariably so made up every year, the
Postofice Department has no right to
discriminate between the paying and non
paying sections.
A petition is now in circulation for
signatures in this city, to which many
names of more or less influence have
been obtained, praying Congress for an
increase of postal service in the Ouachita
region of Louisiana. 1t may be said that
the receipts fer postage now derived from
the 10000 inhabitants living in the sec
ton, and the producers of $4,000, 200
worth of cotton per annum, do not pay
for the service afforded. Be it so. We
maintain that the imperfect service does
not merit support Better facilities will
bring naturally increased business; and
with the gradual education of the masses,
we shall soon have an intelligent, reading
people in the Ouachita region, who al
ready need, and should have daily mails
and prompt, intelligent postmasters.

HISTORY THAT REcOILs OMIT REIAToR

What bungler the Times is in illus
trating its points with historical refer
ences, was shown in its columns three
or four days ago, when three specific err
rors were exposed in single one of the
editorials, to the complete destruction of
the article itself, and to the infinite confu-
sion of the editor thereof And yet it still
rushes on to commit other and similar
faults just as if its memory was as treach-
erous as to its incapacity as it is to its
political suggestions. In defending Mayor
Flanders for resisting the claim of Mrs.
Gaines, the Times recites a bit of history
that the Mayor did not relish yesterday,
and which he will relish less tomorrow.
1t is to the effect that Mayor Prieur,
thirty years ago, recognized the claim of
Mrs. Gaines and recommended that she
be paid for her property. The Council
was obstinate then and would not con-
form to the suggestion of this capable
officer. Mayor Prieur next attempted to
persuade the city to sell the property in
litigation without the warranty clause,
but the Council obstinately refused to
listen to even this suggestion, acting un-
der the advice of lawyers no doubt, who
were then, as they are now, always to be
found willing to assure any side of case
that it has and ever had a safe plea. If
the counsel of Mayor Prieur had been lis
tened to, the city of New Orleans would
not now be vexed with Mrs Gaines and
her legal claims.
AS the Times has summoned Mayor Prieur
nto court and has vouched for his char
scter and capacity, how does his advice
stand beside that of Mayor Flanders?
Even thirty years ago, according to this
witness, it was accepted as the best policy
o pay Mrs. Gaines. If such was the ad-

1t is reported that there is movement on
foot to have the taxes of the lately sub.
merged district remitted. This is, after all,
only small recompense for the losses sus-
tanned by the property holders of that sec
tion. If the City Council would build
substantial levee and supply efficient drain
ing machinery, the present tax would be
willingly paid If this is not done the re-
mission of years taxes will only be re-
ceived as an acknowledgment of the aban-
donment of that part of the city to the

CLOSING EXERCISES IN THE SCHOOLS.

The annual examinations of pupils in
the public schools will begin tomorrow,
according to the programme of Superin-
tendent Carter, and continue till Wednes-
day, the twenty-eighth instant. We are
informed that the exercises will be gener-
ally conducted in writing, instead of being
in the usual style of oral questions and
answers. The plan of drawing written
questions by lot from basket and re-
quiring pupils to answer in writing is be-
ieved by experienced teachers to possess
advantages over the oral examinations,
both in point of economy of time and as
more impartial test of the pu-
pills attainments. After the examinations
have been disposed of there will follow
the necessary exhibition of histrionic and
oratorical skill, music, ETC., by the pupils.
We say necessary" because some escape
for the long restrained and pent up spirit
of childhood seems to be imperatively re-
quired at stated intervals. And we hold
there is more utility in the poetry, declama-
tons, music and dancing in the public
schools than is generally supposed. By
this means attachments are formed not
only among the pupils for each other and
for their teachers, but for the old school
house itself, and anything capable of pro-
ducing lasting and pleasing impression
upon the minds of children is naturally
benefit. Let all the good little boys and
girls, therefore, who have been dutiful to
their teachers and attentive to their |
studies have their day of fun and amuse-
ment. They will come to the stern and
severe realities of life soon enough in the
regular course of time. There is no need
to raise the curtain before the future until
the act is on and the actors ready

Auditor Graham having refused to GER
tify the registration of the bonds issued
to the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
Railroad Company, under the act of the
Legislature by which the State contracted
to deliver certain amounts of bonds, on
the completion of certain sections of the
road, mandamus has been issued by the
United States District Court to enforce
the performance of this duty The ques-
ton of the validity of these bonds was
passed on by Justice Bradley few days
ago, and an injunction against the sign
ing, issuing and registering them was re-
fused. The constitutionality and legality
of the act appropriating these bonds
having been fully and finally determined,
all the other State officers have acquiesced
in the decision and have affixed their sig
natures to the bonds except the Audit
or and the Treasurer. The latter
official makes no objection and
only awaits the action of the
Auditor. The duty to be performed is
simply to certify to the fact of registra-
ton. This act does not give any validity
to the bonds, nor does it bind Mr.. Gra-
ham or the State to recognize their con-
stitutionality. 1t is simply the recording
and acknowledging an act imposed as a
duty of Office upon the Auditor, where
neither judgment, discretion or his own
opinion is involved or required to be ex-
ercised. 1t would be quite as inadmissi-
BILE for clerk to refuse to certify a judg-
ment rendered by court because he did
not approve, or sheriff to refuse to exc
cute a writ because he thought it was
wrong. 1t is obvious that Mr.. Graham
has no responsibility or discretion in tie
matter.

Says the Louisville Ledger, in the wild
est strain of Indignation, eff the Repub-
hcans succeed in carrying Kentucky,
that event will establish the absolute
social equality of the negro with the white
man." The same remark was made in
Louisiana by an equally indignant Demo-
cratic press long ago, and yet the state
ment has not been realized Decent
people, whatever their color may be, reg
ulate their own social relations, and it
now remains to be seen how this remark
will apply to the Ledger. If its social
standing can only be upheld by an ex-
press law, the ultra Democrats of Louis
vile have selected an infrm exponent of
their views, or they are very ''onery" set
In their social relations. The absence of
Kentucky Digest from our library pre-
vents us from looking up the law that de-
fines the social relations in that State; but
the C0ewier-Journal is requested to answer
the anxious inquiry if white man is pro-
hibited by statute from taking drink
with ''nigger" in Louisville under the
present Democratic regime? And if there
is no law against it, is Kentucky sociabil-
1ty ever shocked by any such defiance of
the accepted standard of common
custom?

Injustice. Washington Patriot aided

Rush Burgess, collector Of revenue for this

not have been. Had Mr.. Russell been a

two reasons, viz Mr.. Burgess would not
have him, and the government would have
called him to account.
