All the signs in the political horizon OF Lou
isiana are ominous of blOOdshed and carnage.
For years the black people of thst State,
though strong in numbers, have submitted
patiently to repeated on!rsges and wrongs.
The black men. by nature patient and sub
missive, have seen their friends and fellow
workers murdered siugly and collectively,
and while for the instant they defended them
selvas, have never attempted TO take the law
in their own hand and deal out Justice with
out regard to form. Yielding to the advice of
clear headed advisers, they sought to give the
world an example Of patience and humility
and thereby display their eminent fitness to
enjoy the blessing, of fHsdom. The cruel
and cowardly massacre at Grant Parish
taught them that "iorbearance we no longer
a virtue,' and now we hear Of the blacks Or
gsnizing for protection and retaliation. The
New Orleans Republican of LIST Wednesday
sounds the warning in these words:
"We call special attention TO the proceed
iugs of a large meeting of the cOlOred peO-
pie of this city, which was held last night.
Let the enemies of humanity understand
that such representative men az Pinchback,
Barch, Barfes, Brown, Antoine, Chester,
lngraham Nurrell, and hosts of Others, sre
bera,e throughont this State with no uncer-
tain sound. If the Fedora! Government il
too slow and the State Government too weak
IL n IL
against their merciless prosecutors, such
steps will be taken a. will enable them TO
protect themselves. Instructions have al
ready been sent out to the leading colored
men in the country parishes to be ready to
rally at a moments notice. Acting upon
the correct principle that the lives and liber-
ties of the coi0red people Of this State are of
infinitely more value than this years crops.
the latter will be abandoned if necessary TO
save the former. We believe it would have
Il salutary effect ii the negroes were to dsert
the fields to a man SO long as an armed ruff
tan il permitted to swagger around the
plantations and villages threatening the Lives
of the peaceful laburers or their friends. II
this people,. like the ancient Esyptians,
are 40 s:iff.necked that nothing phOrt Of 8
stunning calamity can soften their hardness
Of heart, it will prove economy Of time ia
hasten the event. Let our colOred friends
stand firmly by each other and act with wis.
dom and moderation, and they will compel
their enemies to respect their rights. Prac'
ticslly their race holds the fortunes, the pros
perity or ruin, the lite or death Of this State
in their hands. Let them act proper valu-
sion upon their power, and be taught to use
II wisely and humanely.

The country is agitated almost from center
to circumference At present, in its efforts to
coerce msn into sobriety. Societies and or
CARNATIONS that are based on moral snasion
are always ready to extend to fallen man a
broth.r's hand, and q brothers welcome;
yet, says the Pittsburgh Commercial, poor
voman-"veak, unfortunate, frail woman"
il allowed 10 tread The gloomy road to chaos
and destruction, without hardly friendly
hand to stay her progress and turn her from
her downward course. Sentimental appeals
to tbs feelings have been exhausted, yet
nothing practical has been done for them.
Sociesy ocems to have forever closed its
doom upon all those who have once in
currsd it, oensure. We hope some of our
practical reformers may have the courage to
take this subject into consideration.

The managers of the Boston public
schools are now considering the propriety Of
giving instruction in sewing to al the girls
claases in the grammar school. This
branch Of industrial education is now
taught with gratifying success in some
rooms. 1t is 80 important part of female
education, and has such direct hearing upon
the practical duties of life, that those in
Leavenworth and elsewhere concerned in ed
ucational matters will watch with great in
terest the result of the Boston experiment.
We make an extract from the Rev. Mr..
Wateraon's last report upon the Everett
school, that will chow the importance he at
taches to industrial education:
The use of the needle i. now tangh, in six
rooms, which Is considered very great adj
vantage. This important part of female ed
ucation has hitherto been too much neglect
ed. 1t hxs such direct bearing upon the
practical duties of life that We might expect
il to hold pre-eminent place in any we'll
considered scheme of female education.
There may be more snowy and presentious
departments, hut there il nothing which will
have more powerful influence upon their
coming life as sisters. daughters, wives and
mothers The committee would urge upon
this board the introduction. 60 far as is prac-
ticable, of the general, systematic and thor
eugh instruction Of sewing, that it may hold
at least as important place in the education
of girls as music and drawing, which,
though greatly desirable, are certainly no
more no to any young woman than the proper
and skilful use of the needle.
We are gathering together all the reports
and opinions bearing on the Gaze, and will
at the proper time hurl the documents at the
Leavenworth School Board. with demand
that the girls Of the Morris, Third Avenue
and other important schools be taught the
ready u.e of the needle.

TIE AGED BRoTHERHooD.-At this season
of the year when such number and variety of
entertainments adapted to the age and taste OF
our community, and crowding upon each other
as they do, in rapid succession, it would seem
almost presumptnous in the Brotherhood to slide
in their claims upon and their appeals to be-
nevolent people. 1.-THE poor ye have with you
always and when you will yon may DO them
good; these words, uttered by Divine Teach
ermore than eighteen hundred years ago, have
Rost none OF their applicability and force to our
day, nor will they to any generation that will
succeed us, to the latest time. Some of our
members in their old age APE in narrow circum
stances, which it is our purpose 10 relieve. and
as far as we have means, (Which have hitherto
been limited) to extend our charities to desti-
tute widows of deceased members. People of

action the generous sympathies of your hearts?

PAHIs, Dec 1.-THE crowd at the Trianon
warmly cheered when the verdict was rendered.
The sentence includes the payment of costs and
the expulsion from the Legion of Honor.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times says that Ba-
zaine was justly convicted. The Telegraph
con siders him a sacrifice to national vanity.
The News hopes that as the evidence is so con-
ficting the sentence will be commuted to per-
petual exile or imprisonment
Soon after the judgment of the court was pro-
nounced against Marshal Bazaine last evening,
he requested that his son might be allowed to
visit him in prison.
He also refused to avail himself of the right
of appeal.
President Mcmahon will to-day decide
whether he will listen to the appeal of the court
for mercy and commute the sentence of the
condemned man.
The London Fog.
The fog which set in Monday last, continues

The condition of the atmosphere, even for this

Navigation in the river is very dangerous, and no
vessels have arrived for two days, the captains
fearing to move during the fog, lest they should
come in collision with other crafts. For the
sane reason, the cattle show at Agricultural
Hall is failure. Some of the beasts are per-
ishing, and the owners of many others on ex-
hibition have Withdrawn them.

Dangerous Illness Of Pref Agassiz.
The condition of Prof. Louis Agassiz had not
improved up to this afternoon; there is reason
to fear he will not recover. His residence at the
corner of Broadway and Quincy street, Cam
bridge, is besieged by anxious friends and ac-
quaintances. There is buelletin up on the
door on which is written ''about the same as
last nigh" and inquirers have to be satisfied
with that statement. Deep anxiety and ,un-
usual sorrow at the announcement of his dan
gerous condition is manifested.
Later.-Late this evening it is stated that the
Professor is much better, and his friends are
confident of his early recovery.
