The picnic of the Webster Girls School
came off yesterday at Oakland Park. The
day could not have been better chosen, for
the weather was all that could be desired
for outdoor enjoyment. The Webster had
invited the jefferson Boys School to par
ticipate with them, so they arranged the
picnic together. The Webster is in charge
of Miss Armstrong, principal; Miss Sim
mons, first assistant; Miss Kendall, second
assistant. The rest Of the teachers are the
Misses LITERAL, Marquette, Woodwork,
Mrs. Mohan, Miss Warner, Miss Labatt and
Miss McGrath.
This school has an average daily attend
ance Of about four hundred and fifty
scholars. The Jefferson is in charge of Mr..
William Mead, as principal; first assistant,
Miss Parr; second assistant, Miss Curtis.
The other teachers are Miss Moore, Miss
Hubert, Mrs Read, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs Gal
lup and Miss Dunn.
The picnic was an entire success, and the
school children enjoyed themselves hugely,
to say nothing of the older ones. We could
not help wishing we were child again, to
frisk and frolic around on the grass. Our
reporter, however, had lots Of fun, and here
with returns his thanks to one and all Of
the ladies in charge Of the Webster School
for the good time he had, and hopes when
the Webster gives another picnic he may
have the pleasure of being present.

Legislature to convict him, and thus remove
him from offiee9 They may tell us that they
would have impeached him and removed
him from office had they been allowed to do
so. Yes, il they had been allowed to do so;
that is, if the personal malice OF the minor

But this would not have been in
accordance with law; it would have been
contrary to our principle that the majority
shall rule. Therefore, as he is not legally

Justice and principle to hold him innocent,

majority. If so, how did you lose the

ity, why did you, contrary to law and prin-
ciple, endeavor. by revolutionary means
and high h-handed federal authority, to de-
stroy the power of that majority you were
sworn to obey? If you cared more for law
and principle than selfinterest, why did
you endeavor to destroy the government
you were sworn to maintains If you cared
more for the State and the common good
than you cared for personal interest, why
did you try to overthrow the liberties of
the people, and subserVe the civil to the
military power! If you we're actuated
more by Justice and reason than designing
malice and subtle ambition, why did you
endeavor to wipe out the authority of the
civil courts, and establish courts-martial
If you loved free government more than
personal exaltation and military despOtism,
why did you try to subordinate the civil
to the military law If your motives were
pure, honest and patriotic, why did you, in
a time of such great interest to the State at
large, leave the hall of legislation and take
up your abode in a rum shop! If you
thought more of the constitution you were
sworn to obey, than riot and pleasure, why
did you 90 out in the Wilderness If, be-
cause of your great dignity and Importance,
you refused, when invited to go back to the
Legislature. why did you hum BILE yourselves
to petition for admittance after it was too
late to repent for your folIyg After the en-
thusiasm of self died out your conscience con.

It is hoped that every citizen who honestly de-
sires a reform in the administration Of the State
and city government will give his support TO the
Reform movement, for it marks crisis which
must be averted or the State will be ruined.
In four years the State debt has been increased
to the extent Of $26,0O0 600, and now reaches the
enormous sum of $4l 100000. The debt of the city
of New Orleans has been increased to $4,000 GOO,
making an aggregate State and city indebtedness
of more than $4,000 ,O00 or more than One-feurth
of the total assessed valuation of taxable property
in the State
The aggregate percentage of taxation has been
increased from one and half per cent in former
years to more than five per cent under the present
state government.
Every occupation, profession, trade or calling is
taxed for Ii 5ense to such an enormous extent as
almost creates prohibition
The bonds and securities of the State and city
are peddled in the financial markets OF the cOun-
try without any settled value, and the State has
been brought TO the verge of bankruptcy; her
credit destroyed and her people compromised As
consequence Of these deporable evils, the com
meree Of the State and city is paTaly zed.
Capital seeking investment is diverted else
where
immigration to the State is discouraged
The great agricultural interest of the state is
crippled in its onward march.
and our people are suffering under o burden of
political Affections unparalleled in the history of
the commonwealth
The Reform party pledges to the people cor
rectiOn of these evils-an honest and economi cal
administration of the affairs of the State and city
government, and it confidently relies upon the
honesty, intelligence and patriotism Of The people
