parent of the poor boy or girl can spare
time for the daily task, and the free
school of the trades can qualify many TO,
making an honest living. At the same
time, the creation of this class of workers
will, to greater or less extent, keep at
home the money which we now send
abroad to purchase articles that may be
made, or services rendered, at home.
The position has been assumed by the
REPUBLICAN that the colored people may
render valuable use to the country by their
capacity for the arts and industries. Not
only may they build ships, bridges and
houses, not alone can they shape iron and
weave cloth, but the arts of sculpture,
painting and music are open to them. 1t
is the duty of statesmen and patriots to
utilize every element of usefulness,
whether in the moral, mental or physical
resources of the country. When we re-
gard the fondness of the colered race for
the mechanic arts, and their aptitude as
boatmen and sailors-when we remember
that their vigor and exemption from eli
matte diseases enables them to pursue their
avocations, throughout the year, it will be
seen that they constitute great reliance
in developing the future of our State and
city.
Let US hope that the directory of the
Mechanical College will secure the SER
vices OF the most competent teachers;
that they will throw the schools open to
all, and secure the confidence and attend
ance of all, SO that even when the partial |
and unjust feature of the law which ex-
cludes this city from any right to the per-
manent location of the school shall take |
effect and New Orleans be taxed FIVE
eighths of fifty thousand dollars to build |
a college in some one of "the country
parishes, our people may have had such
a demonstration of the trade schools as
that we can still maintain it upon the
support Of our own people.
Let the experiment then go on, and let
the directory advertise for the best choice
of professors of the various departments of
instruction. Whether we shall have me-
chanical college permanently established
in New Orleans, will depend greatly upon
the success Of the experiment now to be
made

From all quarters, and through numer-
GUS channels, offers Of relief for the suf-
ferers by the overflow come pouring in.
Even the school girls forego their delight
full picnics and vote the money raised for
UGH purpose into the hands of Mayor
Wilt, to go for the general benefit. The
pupils Of the Locquet-Leroy Institute have
decided to give concert, to which their
friends will be invited, and collection
taken up for the benefit of the relief fund.
Numerous private parties have con-
tributed in proportion to their ability,
and nearly all the places of amusement
have been offered free for beneficiary per-
formances. The Academy Of Music will
give full clear benefit, which means all
tie receipts. The Variety Dramatic Club,
the Shakespeare Club, several lecturers
and numerous steamboats, are placed as
volunteers in the good work.
Subscriptions will also soon begin to come
in from distant cities Boston has taken
the lead, and made an excellent be-
ginning, being careful to assure us that
the end of her charity has by no means
been reached. But the main reliance
of our afflicted State is on the great aid
about to be sent from Washington. The
aI-powerful United State government has
appeared as an almoner, and we of the
South know full we'll that whether the
object be conquest or charity which
Uncle Sam aims at, success is sure to fol-
low. 1t is probable that by the end of the
month there will be ample provision re-
ceived and distributed for all the suf-
ferers.

AHATIoHAL ouARAHTINE.

We have received copy of bill intro
duced, on unanimous leave, by Hon. Mr..
Bromberg, of Alabama, intended ste
prevent the introduction of contagious OF
infectious diseases into the United States. -
The provisions of the bill authorize
and instruct the supreme medical author
tiles OF the federal army and navy to
make regulations, to be observed by per-
sons controlling vessels and vehicles
coming from foreign countries or ports,
into ports of the United States, to the
effect s'that no persons, animals or goods
affected with infectious or contagious
disease, may enter the United States, :"
etc. These duties shall be performed by
medical board, the members of which
shall receive no additional compensation
for the performance of this service.
This service is intended to be auxiliary to
the State or municipal health regulations
adopted sin furtherance of, and not con-
ficting with, the system constituted by
this act"
We are not entirely satisfied with this
system. 1t gives paramount control of
the port cities to the national board.
This is very well, but it only relates to
the importation of disease from foreign
ports. The great grievance of which our
outports have to complain is that persons
and packages coming out of these out
ports to other outports, or to interior |
points, may be and are put in quarantine
by these other ports and points of the
interior. AS we read the bill of Mr..
Bromberg, the national board may pre-
scribe rules against the admission of per-
sons or packages coming from an infected |
foreign port into the ports of New Or
eans or Chicago, but if New Orleans
md Chicago be put in quarantine
~ Galveston, St. Louis, or by any
If the thousand railroad stations con-
lected with these outport cities by rail or
water, there is no power in the national
BOARD to regulate or restrain this abuse of
domestic quarantine. Can not Mr.. Brom-
'erg guard against this commercial mis-
hief from which at least one outport has
Uttered so severely? New Orleans has
een cut off by local ordinances from al
nost all access to her commercial terri
Dry, and this may be repeated, unless the
aramount jurisdiction Of the national
board shall include both tor
ign and domestic regulations. .

PROCLAMATION,

STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department.
New Orleans, April 20, 1874.
To all State AID parish officers in the overfiowe,
districts of Louisiana, AID to the citizens gen
orally:
The calamity VIII ich has so unexpectedly over
taken our State when all indications pointed to
speedy renewal of agricultural and Commercial
prosperity calls for the highest exercise of YOU
judgment, fOrbearance and humanity.
The State government has done and is doing al
that its resources will allow to alleviate the suffer
ings of those who have been reduced to restitution
by the disastrous crevasses in the levees of ou1
great rivers and by the foods consequent upon the
recent heavy ram storms
acquisitions have been made by the State au-
thorities and by our Representatives in Congress
upon the general government for immediate aid,
and have reason to believe that the acquisitions
thus made will be promptly responded to.
The Mayor of New Orleans, the president of the
Chamber OF Commerce, and well chosen commit
tee of distinguished citizens are doing all that can
be done to send immediate assistance to those most
need of it, and the appeals that have been made
to the great cities Of the North East and West will
doubtless, in due time, bring generous response.
In the meantime, let me enjoin upon YOU pa.
thence, forethought and confident reliance upon
those who have undertaken to avert as far as DOS.
sible, the evils which pow threa eaten you.
Supplies of money, food and clothing will be
for warded to you without one moments unneces.
sary delay. To send your distressed population to
this city, already ove1crowded with UNEMPLOYED
people, will only embarrass the efforts that are
being made for your relief
rec ommend that you organize in each parish
com mittee of trusted citizens who will undertake
the proper distribution of the supplies sent For
ward the names of the committees SO organized at
once to the president of the Chamber of Com.
morce to the Mayor of New Orleans, to the chair.
man Of the relief committee II. N. Marks, ESQ } or
to myself. As far as possible enable the laborers
Of the inundated districts to make their way to
those pari shes which are not under water where
their labor is still needed and will meet lust re-
payment. Relax no efforts to diminish and control
the overflow, which now afflicts you, and it NAV
be that even out of this dire calamity some good
may come. through the attention of the nation at
arge being SO painfully concentrated upon the
question of making the building and maintenance |
If the levees of the Mississippi also the preser
Vation of proper outlet for the river, national
work.
Given under my hand, and the seal of the State |
hereto attached. this twentieth day of April, in |
