TROOPS WANTED 1N LOUISIANA.

In support of what the LEDGER re
Gently said in regard to troops being sent
to Louisiana, we find long article in
the New Orleans Bulletin of the 9th
inst, as witness the following paragraph
The Inauguration of military gov
eminent, with an officer of the United
States army at its head, in place of the
bogus concern that now pretends TO ex-
ercise authority in this State, would be
hailed with joy by all of the white PEG
pie in Louisiana. Our people would will
Iingly entrust their government to the
charge of the Federal army, the reputa-
ton of whose officers for honor, intelll-
gence and bravery is everywhere con-
ceded, and whose regime we believe
would give assurance Of justice and in
tegrity, There would be guaranty
then, that the Government would be ad-
ministered with some degree Of decency
and honesty, and with some respect and
consideration for the white people as
well as for the negroes.
No doubt the people would enjoy greater
security in the presence of a military
force controlled by an otfieer OF the
regular army than under the miserable
rule of Kellogg and the sable cook who
draws salary as Lieutenant Governor.
The Treasury would be safer, too,
for we never hear of troops appro-
priating the public revenues or in
creasing taxation, that their officers
may have better opportunity to
steal. The whites would sleep sounder
and the negroes would learn that there
are some laws which they are bound to
respect. Such a change in the charac-
ter of the government, although incon-
sistent with the genius of American in
situations and our ideas Of liberty, would
indeed be refreshing, and would be well
coined by the people with satisfaction
and delight.

GIBSON COUNTY MATTERS.

America Liquidatlug Church
Property i'm Rome.
New YORK, September 8.-Edmund
Yates has written letter in reply to the
accusations that in his latest lecture he
had given personal descriptions of
American celebrities, and that he had re-
paid much kindness by personal in
gratitude, In the course Of the letter,
Mr.. Yates writes: THE pleasantest six
months of my life were passed in the
United States, and the greatest personal
kindness, hospitality and attention
which have ever experienced were re-
ceived there. This is not said with any
view 10 the future, for there is no pres
emit prospect of my again visiting
America. 1t is simply repetition of
what l have continually expressed,
orally and in print since my return to
England, and it is protest which l de-
sire to place on record against an I'M
founded charge, by which have been
very much distressed"

directors Of the propaganda and by
friends connected with the foreign estab-

one hundred and seven thousand francs,
and it was knocked down at three hum

Rev. DR.. BARNAs SEARS, agent OF the
Peabody fund, was present at teachers
meeting in Staunton, Va, last week, and
in the course of remarks there made
said that he did not believe that mixed
schools would ever be enforced. Heidi
not believe it could be done. He denied
that Congress had the physical power to
enforce mixed schools, laying aside the
want of constitutional power. Such a
system cannot be imposed on. State
A State has the power to abolish It's sys-
tenn of public schools any day. More
over, the State can refuse to raise the
money necessary for the support OF the
system. Then what becomes oil the
schools2 They disappear at once.
Some persons, through false views
may be in favor OF seating
the two races side by side on
the same benches; but can Congress
compel both races to attendP No, it
cannot. Some philanthropists, IN urg'
ing the mixed school system, are in
earnest in their efforts to benefit poor
ignorant race; but the question is will it
benefit themY Among the representa-
tives of twelve States whom he had met
at Washington he only found one who
was in favor of mixed schools, and he
was from South Carolina. The great
majority of those favoring the civil
rights bill desire only that the colored
race shall have .qual educational facili-
ties with the whites. Many of the Sen
ators who voted for it were hoping all
the time it would be defeated, and they
will not vote for it again. Many of those
who voted in favor of its passage had
odd him that if it did not pass last ses'
zion it was dead, and that there would
be no trouble about it hereafter.
