ART IN OUR ScHooLs.-We call the atten-
ton of the Boards of Education, School Di-
rectors, Trustees and Teachers throughout
the land to the report of the proceedings and
the remarks of DR.. H. D. Ranney, upon the
occasion of the presentation of a beautiful
Photographic picture of the Presidents Of
the United States to Grammar school No.
&c of this city, by the publishers, Messrs. L.
A. Finley & Co. The introduction of we'll
conceived and appropriate pictures, engrsv-
ings and paintings, in our schools, is q good
idea, and carries with it many strong and
conclusive arguments in its favor. Art in
this shape makes impressions upon the youth
full mind that time can not effaee. The pic
ture in question is eminently appropriate for
such purpose, and we trust no parsimcni-
Gus policy will deter the introduction Of this
work of art and instruction in our schools
generally.-New York School Journal.

NEW ORLEANS.

Notwithstanding the croakers who
assert otherwise, New Orleans is a
prosperous and growing CITY, with
yearly increasing commerce and con-
9tantly widening business influence.
Especially in this unusually dull sea-
son does she loom forth prominently
among the cities of the United States
as one of the least affected by the dis
astrous and general financial panic.
While in New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and elsewhere, large bust
ness houses are daily collapsing, fac
tories are running on half time or
suspending altogether, hundreds of
laborers are being thrown out of en-
ployment, and the gaunt spirit of
starvation is walking abroad among
the novels of multitudes of poor, New
Orleans moves ON the even tenor of
her way, comparatively free from dis
aster, and with scarcely more desti
tuition or complaining among her
poorer classes than exist at other
times.
i The truth of the whole matter is
that the hard times" which so many
3bewail is merely a chimera of the ex-
icited brain, frightful shadow created
jim the imaginations of the timid and
5unthinking by the persistent howlings
iof a restless set of politicians who
have been defeated in their aspira-
tons for Office, and whose last hope
Eof success now lies in endeavoring to
convince Congress that their victor
'ious opponents are running the State,
the city and the people. The public
finances are rapidly improving under
the management of honest and Ca
pable men, reform in the government
is no longer much talked of but I'M
applied principle, and but for the per-
nicious attempts of the McEneryites
to SOW discussions among the differ
ent classes of our population, universal
harmony would prevail and all the
world would recognize the really
prosperous condition of our State and
its beautiful metropolis, New Orleans,
theSQueen City of the Sunny South.

The Democrats Of Oil City, Penn,
thought they were perpetrating a first
class joke by voting for Moses Green,
colored man, for Alderman, but
when the elected Mayor resigned a
short time after, and Green, as the
Alderman receiving the highest num-
Der of votes, succeeded to the vacancy,
the humorous Democrats were rather
dumbfounded at the result of their
righteousness.

ticed a few days before the suicide.
Yesterday morning he rose as usual
and while dressing alone in his room
in sudden alteration of mind, it is
supposed, seized small revolver "
ing near and discharged it. The ball
entered his brain, causing his death
in less than two hours. This adds
another to the long list of similar
cases, which should serve as warn
ing to our business men that natures
laws cannot be violated with impu-
nifty.
AT the close of the Wawasset in
yestigation Solicitor Banfeld Of the
Treasury Department submitted tho
case to United States District .Attor-
ney Fisher, who has just returned
his opinion. The conclusion reached
is to the effect that there is not saf-
fcient evidence of misconduct or neg
lect on the part of the officers or
crew to convict them of manslaught-
or. Also, that there must have been
some mistake made in recording the
license, as she was carrying no more
passengers at the time of the disaster
than previous licenses had permitted.
Therefore there will be no criminal
prosecution against the owners of the
boat. ALERT.

TIE ooLORED CONVENTION,

The State Convention of Colored
Men met in New Orleans last Monday
morning, pursuant TO-. call, with a
large attendance of delegates present,
and organized in the usual manner,
eleeting Hon. T. B. Stamps of Jeffer-
son temporary chairman and Messrs.
j. M. Holland and A. S. Henderson
secretaries. The rules of the House
of Representatives were adopted to
govern the proceedings, committees
on credentials and permanent organ
ization appointed, and a recess of
thirty minutes taken to allow them
time to prepare reports. Upon re-
assembling the reports were received
and adopted, the following officers
being chosen: Hon. C. C. Antoine
of Caddo, chairman w. F. South ard
of Ouachita, vice-president; j. II.
Holland and A. S. Henderson of Or
leans, secretaries and q half dozen
sergeants- alarms and door keepers.
Gen. Quesada and several other dis
tinguished Cubans made their appear
ance in the hall aud were invited to
the platform amid enthusiastic cheer
ing. Senator Pinehback was invited
to address the Convention, and when
he mounted the platform the applause
which greeted him was almost terrific.
His address was most admirable eff
fort and deserves the careful perusal
of every citizen of Louisiana. Calm
in tore, yet convincing in it's array of
facts, it bears the impress of the
craftsmanship and ability of the ut
terer, and demonstrates his perfect
familiarity with the industrial and
commercial interests of Louisiana.
The concluding sentiment of the
speech found warm response in the
heart of every member of the vas au-
dience

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov,


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IA, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF:
All Washington is wild with ex-
element over the recent capture of
the Virginius and the subsequent ex-
ecution of four of her passengers, her
officers and crew. Dispatches from
other cities inform us that there is
similar feeling everywhere through
out the country. All the papers re-
ceived here are filled with accounts
of the atrocious crime, and their col
umns TEEN with editorials demanding
that the alleged insult to the Aneri-
can flag be resented; that the great
crime against the ordinary principles
of humanity be severely punished.
The history of the affair may be
summed up thus: The Yirginius is a
Clyde-built steamer. She was inten-
ded as confederate bloekade-runner
and in this service she was captured
| W sIrv U,rtUvt1 oucsuo, uuvSsrrUr t,---
ing the war of the rebellion. After
the close of the war she was thor
oughly overhauled and put in COM
plete repair at the Washington navy
yard. She was put in commission,
but it was subsequently found that
she was not well adapted to such
duty as is required of naval vessels
aud she was sold. It is said that at
the time of her last capture she was
owned by Mr.. Patterson, of New
York. She has been engaged in some
kind of service in Southern waters.
By some it is alleged that she was a
regular merchant vessel engaged in
carrying arms, recruits and munitions
of war to the insurgents in Cuba.
Her commander was Captain Fry,
of Florida, formerly a New Orleans
steamboat captain, subsequently, an
officer of the confederate navy. He
had but recently taken command of
the Virginius. Little or, nothing is
known of the composition of the rest
of the crew, but it is supposed
that some of them were American cit
liens.
A couple of months ago, or there
abouts, there was a considerable
amount of discussion over the case of
this vessel arising out of an occur
renee which took place in the harbor
of Aspinwall. The Virginius was
chased into this harbor by the Span
ish war vessel Bazan. Lying in this
port at the time was the United States
war vessel Kansas. The officers of
the Virginius applied to those of the
Kansas for protection against the
Spaniards. Regular clearance papers
signed and properly certified by a
United States consul were exhibited.
The officers of the Bazan were notified
by the officers of the Kansas that it
was their duty to protect the Virgin
Jus, as she carried papers showing her
to be a regular American vessel. An
angry controversy ensued. Guns
were shotted and put in position, and
for time it looked as if trouble
would ensue. It all ended without
bloodshed, however, and the Virgin
ius was conveyed to sea by the Kan
sas beyond the reach of harm from
the Bazan. Soon after this we were
informed, and the report has never
been denied, of the successful landing
by the Virginius on the coast of Cuba
of a cargo of arms and ammunition in
tended for the Cuban patriots.
Since then we have heard but little
