ready overnowing pockets Of you
"such officials Where are you
boasted schools in "successful opera
tion?' They arc as that Of your Hon
ovabIe Senator's academy in this city
who draws his salery of SIM pc
month for teaching, while he pays So
to have the drudsery Of that situa
ton done, that he may "air' himscl
in the General Assembly, or stru
through our streets with his loud
monthed decantations upon "Ashan
tee political economy"
Who derives benefit from the mon
ey collected for school purposes! D,
the white tax payers of this city O.
parish? Kecting, ye gentle "coniis
cator,' ordered u white school estab
lishel here a year since; Why has il
not been done ? Was it because there
had been no funds left from the steal
age of certain officials, or that the
funds had been lost with the notorious
"Tin Box,' the reward for which had
been paraded, to attempt to dclude
the people into the belief that the
money contained therein, was not to
the credit of the private account OF
some one of your school board in a
city bank.
These arc some Of the reasons, ta.
ken in connection with the notorious
speculations of your Collector, Mr..
Republican, and his pcnchant for dis
troying courts and removing Police
Juries, that he might have no impedi-
ment, in a 'egal ,cay, in his "crush-
ing" process, of the white people of
our Parish, added to the insolence, a
part of which is we'll shown in your
issue of Saturday, with which the
remonstrances and supplications of
the people, have heretofore been re-
ceived by your party, why they are
excited and justly indignant.
You say, Or intimate, that no occa-
sion existed for the assemblage of
citizens upon Saturday, 18th instr
that the Police Jury had "met at the
request of tax payers, irrespective of
party distinctions or race and had
given the desired relief. This state
ment is false in some particulars, and
in keeping with the insolence which
has marked tile career of your plum
lering party. Irrespective of "party
distinctions and race" forsootl- who
the call made to your Pre-.
'ident of the Polio Jury, and which
'all he politely declined to acceed to,
lpon the plea of "saviny EXPENSE
md were informed with Il smile most
'child-like and bland" that it would
ny over until the regular meeting,
July 9Th. Examine the names of the
PERSONS composing the Committee of
seventy, appointed at that meeting,
re they not composed of men "ir-
espective of party or race" The
all made and the meeting held, which
on allude to, was brought about, when
or Republican leaders saw the no.
ices of the mass meeting of tho citi.
ems, upon the streets of our city, and
our statement of any other causes Of
D sudden return to virtue, are only
he utterances of a fool or q knaye
was the fear of the just indignation,
ing pent up, of the people against
lch outrageous acts as the 5000 ap.
ropriation to II. C.Myers; the $500
to D. II. Boullt, and
