crops instead of raising a row to please
some disappointed ofice-seeker
And here in the city, where it is now
necessary to keep up a strong police
force to keep down turbulent political
demonstrations made by disappointed
partisans, a better condition Of things
might also be looked for. One-haf OF
the police force now employed might then
answer for police purposes, and the taxes
of the people be accordingly reduced.
The presence of United States troops
would not then be necessary to teach
American citizens obedience to the laws
and constituted authorities Of the
State, and We should hear no more
about influential citizens having
openly combined to resist lawful
authority, nor would it be popular among
any respectable class for newspapers TO
assume an offensive and dictatorial tone
toward a Governor who is endeav oring to
discharge his duties faithfully to the
whole people There would then be an
end to the prejudice that has operated
against our public schools and made them
a source Of great trouble instead of a gen
eral blessing to our people, and more than
all, there would then be no trouble to
effect any compromise that would
result benefcially to the people
at large. If the gentlemen who
are opposing the present State govern
ment can ''screw their courage to the
sticking place" and meet the question Of
compromise properly. we are certain that
Governor Kellogg will not be found want
ing in courage to do his duty in the prem
ises. We believe that the Governor is
just as anxious as President Grant and his
Cabinet that the people of this State
should agree. He will doubtless favor
compromise that will bring about this re-
suit. But we are certain that he will not
give his sanction to any compromise that
will betray the interest of the great body
Of the people 20 favor any class. Nor
can he be driven to such o course by
loud but harmless menace.

IN A VERY BAD WAY.

Ii addresses and proclamatlOns would
carry elections, Mr. McEnery and his as
sOciates might not unreasonably expect to
soon run all the desirable offices in this
and perhaps q few neighboring States.
These gentlemen have "gift in this
across the Rio Grande never surpassed,
either in length and strength orin breadth
of imagination. Yesterday this people {"
the Lord preserve them--were dosed
with another of these oblique appeals for
Office, emanating from several members OF
the late Odd Fellows Hall Legislature.
There would be nothing especially worthy
of mention either in this fact, OF in the
document itself, were it not that in among
the usual paltitudes has crept an indirect
though very significant admission. and
what is not so remarkably q stupidity
barefaced untruth.
The admission follows an allegation that
Governor Kellogg is tamperins with the
fealty to the Fusion cause of the members
of the Odd Fellows Hall Legislature: and
is contained in the demand for meetings
in each parish toprevent Representatives
and Senators taking their seats in the legal
Assembly,
If this desperate measure of attempt
ing to dragon the people of the parishes
and their representatives into the con-
tinued support of a played out political
enterprise does not indicate the hear ap-
proach of dissolution, we fail to properly
comprehend Fusion nature. That many
of those who sat in the revolutionary as
sembly are honestly convinced of their
error of judgment. We have long been
aware; but we were not prepared for so
plain an avowal of it from such a source,
nor the virtual confession that this fact
defeats the McEnery cause. Yet it is
fatal to all not willfully blind that. in join
lug the legal Legislature at it's next ses-
sion, the Representatives thus indirectly
impugned are obeying the popular will.
Disappointed partisans only seek to longer
maintain the selfish and unholy struggle
which is daily adding to the general dis
tress, and of this class must be constituted
the meetings appealed for if any be held,
Now to the misstatement. which reads
as follows:
the people of New Orlean. are not pay.
.,
are they giving any recognition to the
usurpers.
1t is all but incredible that residents Of
New Orleans could promulgate so au-
dacious a statement. without they regard
the people Of the parishes as hopeless
ignoramuses or shut i'll by a Chinese wall
of prejudice over which the truth can not
fly. .Nerer before in the history Of the state
lqre he taxes been paid IN .Ne,r Orleans s'ith
surj 0lacrity' The collections for the
month of March were unprecedented in the
corresponding period Of any previous
year. and every indication promises q
marked increase fox April. current. II
this is not the most solid recognition pos
sible OF the ''us,lrpel>." So-call.d, what IN
il? And if its substantial! character needs
a polish. this can readily be found in the
cordial and friendly relations which have
sprung up and ripened !etween Governor
Kellogg and his associates on the one
hand. and our most wealthy and worthy
citizens on the other.

"Goyernor" McEnery begins to realize
that his appeals and proclamations have
very little weight with the public. Not
withstanding his able literary efforts TO
convince the people of the parishes that to
pay taxes is sure ruin. and that only in
tax-resisting associations can peace and
safety be found, he discovers that they
are unconcernedly pursuing the even
tenor of their way and contributing theiE
quota toward the support Of the govern
ment which protects them.
In his desperation a, this contumacy. he
has concluded to take hand at tax col
lecting himself, and directed his collectors
throughout the country TO take in any
loose change taxpayers may be willing 20
part with for the benefit of his govern
ment" II there vas the least danger of
these so-called officials attempting TO
carry out this order from che little back

inclined to call their attention 20 the Sc

do the five hundred white children still
live? Yes, and some of them manfully
Cor boyfully) acknowledge their defeat in
the race for scholastic honors by colored
competitors. And, to cap the climax, one
of the despised class recently carried off
the first honors in one of our public
high schools after only four years of study.
Why, neighbor. you have been in Rip

1t is proper here to state that the new
Superintendent and the new school board
lately adopted a resolution which can not
fail to have a beneficial effect on our
schools, as it provides for their gravest ne
cessity, viz: efficient teachers. Notice
will be given at an early day to all appli-
cants for teacherships that competitive
examination will be held. 1t is not in
tended at this time to in any way interfere
with the present corps; but all vacancies
in the future will be filed from the twenty
candidates. who pass with highes. credit
through the examination. and when that
number shall have been provided for.
new trial will be ordered. This system
must afford great relief to the individual
directors. and avert the possibility of in
competent persons getting foothold in
the schools.
