Affairs in Louisiana.
- The registration of voters in Louisiana
is progressing. New Orleans registers $1,000
blacks and $4,000 whites. The blacks
throughout the State, as far as heard from,
have majority Of 1000.
From Shreveport, we learn that sixty mer-
chants have signed an agreement refusing to
employ any person voting the Republican
ticket or to furnish credit or supplies to any
planter renting lands or giving employment
to Republicans Afidavits for violation of
the enforcement act have been made against
them by Col. Lewis Merrill, and already a
number of arrests have been made. Ninety
warrants have been prepared, and it is said
that the signers of the document above re-
ferred to declare it their intention to abide the
legal ISSUE The warrants on ninety COM
plants were to have been served last Mon
day.
Mixed Schools in the South.
-- The committee of the Peabody fund
trustees, consisting of William Evarts, John
H. Clifford, and Samuel Whetmore, appointed
to consider the subject of mixed schools in
the South, report that after the most careful
comparison of opinions, and the most solicit
GUS consideration of all the elements of the
discussion affecting the interests of education
in the various States for their white and COL
ored population, have unanimously come to
the conclusion that the prospects and hopes
of the public systems of education at the
South will receive serious, if not fatal
blow, from any legislature which should make
such systems of education maintainable only
on scheme of mixed schools as the organi-
cation required for such public education.
The Board are of the opinion that while JUS
tice and public duty, as we'll as the interests
and feelings of the white and colored people
of the South, concur in demanding system
of public education which should give equal
opportunities and equal advantages to the
children of either color, that no such result
would be promoted by the compulsory system
of mixed schools The committee, in conclu-
sion, say these views are fully set forth in the
report of the general agent, which is accepted
and approved as expressing the unanimous
opinion Of the trustees.
