THE PEABODY EDUCATION FUND.

Under this caption the Radical crgan-the
Republicdn-o of yesterd ~, makes an ill-natured,
senseless attack on the venerable Dr.. Sears,
general agent, and on Mr. Peabodys Board
of Trustees-all gentlemen and scholars, who
are beyond the reach Of Radical malice.
What right has the Republican to dictate, or
even suggest what should be done with Mr..
Peabody's benevolent donation to the South
ern States
Touching the use Of this fun l in Louisiana,
simple inspection Of the correspondence
between the local agent-the legitimate State
Superintendent of Public Education and the
Rev. DR.. Sears, which correspondence the
organ, with its usual unfairness, garbled to
suit its own purposes, the writer Of the article
will discover that his asseverations are false
from beginning to end-possibly founded in
ignorance, most certainly dictated by jeal-
ousy and malice.
The local agent in this State has been too
long known to our people as a conscientious
and an unselfsh friend and servant of public
education to be injured by anything that the
Republican may say. and we do not think that
the article in question is worthy of any no.
tice at his hands. the Republican should re-
member and properly interpret the maxim Of
the law: Dornait,r dliquando JUS, numq,ldtn

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We again urgently advise the white people
Of New Orleans to take their children out of
the public schools We again recommend all
true ladies to resign their positions as teach
ers. The management of our city schools by
usurping officials has become SO outrageous
1t is an enormous abuse and nuisance which
calls for earnest and united action. We
must move upon it persistently and aggress-
lively, in as many repeated attacks as may
which demands abatement at any cost. 1t
can not be removed by few indignant school
boys nor by the personal friends of hundred
wronged ladies, who have, without cause,
been dropped from the roll of teachers. 1t
can not be done without energetic action nor
without loss 1t ought to begin with a united
protest from all decent citizens, and as a pro-
test, we know of nothing adequate except the
withdrawal of children and the resignation of
teachers. To teachers, the loss of time
will be q grievance, many of them
being dependent on their wages for subsist-
ence; but it will, in the end, be better for
them to lend their aid in purifying the
schools and in breaking down the loa,hsome
tyranny by which they are ruled. Their
sacrifice will be remembered by the people,
and, when change takes place, their claims
to appointment will be first considered That
change can not be remote. The control of

ings.
Upon the tomb of each Of the dead is hung
wreath, a cross, an anchor and crown, all
composed of white flowers and evergreens,
while upon pure white silken streamer are
printed in letters Of gold, Fourteenth OF
September, 1874"
Most Of the morning the committee were
busily engaged in decorating st. Patrick's
Hall, where was delivered an Grafton BY DR..
J. Dickson Bruins.
There was no organized observance Of the
day, no parade, but a general and spontane
GUS exhibition Of profound sympathy and ad-
miration for those whose young lives were
offered up as sacrifice for the good Of their
people There are those who seem to regard
the sacrifice of blood on the Fourteenth as
useless and proftless libation. Not So
1t is always noble and profitable to die
struggling for the grand and immortal prin-
ciples Of liberty. and no blow in that holy
cause is ever struck IN vain, however fruitless
it may seem, however heavily and gloomily
the thick clouds Of disaster and defeat may
settle upon the cause. The truth is
everlasting, and some day ray will pierce
through the dark pail Of error and wrong,
and then will follow glorious sun burst
of light and iberty-a perfect day after
night Of much sorrow and grievous trials.
Let us all work together for that consumma-
ton increasingly, bearing in mind always the
glorious heritage Of heroic examples left by
those who died for US and remembering that
''Freedom's battle oft begun
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son
Though baffled oft, is ever won.'

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SHAME.

The statement made by friend who with
held his name, as referred to in our issue G
Monday evening, respecting the manner i
which q lady teacher was insulted by
negro member of the Board Of Directors 9
the city schools, has been corroborated b
the lady herself We will not give her nam
nor that Of the director, but the facts ar
that one Of the white teachers, lady
who has been in our city school
for many years, discharging her dutie
industriously, faithfully and without com
plant, was dropped from the rolls in the re
cent action of the board. To one Of the mem
bers, colored man, she had been in the babi
Of paying certain percentage on each month.
salary to secure her situation. She called OF
this colored director to learn the reason why
she was dismissed. The interview took place
in public Office in the presence Of many wit
nesses. 1t ended in very gross and profane
insult to the lady, with an order to leave the
office.
This case is only sample ofthe hardships
which ladies have been obliged to suffer and
Of the humiliation which they have been
compelled to undergo. This colored black
guard had long been in the habit Of making
these exactions, to be paid out Of salaries
which the teachers could not collect but were
obliged to sell at a great discount This
director did no more than what was probably
done by the majority Of the board.
Yet this is only one case out Of hundreds.
The whole course of the controllers of our
city schools for the past eight years has been
dictated by caprice, by vindictiveness, by par
tisan spite, by greed for money and by baser
motives They have been actuated chiefly by
favoIitism, next by avarice, and always by
spirit Of partisanship. Remonstrance has
been in vain. Merit has had no influence.
Personal dignity and high character have
hindered rather than helped applicants for
positions.
Let the Board of Directors, if they have
any remnant Of regard for themselves, inves-
tigate this case and do justice in the prem
ises. We make this charge, and stand pre-
pared to prove it.
These public school abuses have gone so
far that they can not be longer tolerated. A
remedy must be found and applied. If the
author. ties will not abate the nuisance Of
their own accord, the people will surely vim
dictate their ri yhts.

| CITY schools must either be restored
to the city government next winter,
or there will be no appropriation
made for their support. The people OF
Louisiana have wrenched from the hands OF
an alien government power enough to pre-
vent putting the taxes of the State into the
palms of vulgar and irresponsible men
to manipulate and squander. They
have the ability to compel incumbents
of Office to respect public rights. They
can force change of the school law, and if
we know how to interpret popular senti-
ment, they will exercise that power, ard
relegata to New Orleans the control of her
public schools early in the coming session.
The children must of course lose time by
being taken from school, but they will COM
prehend the reason, and the moral lesson will
be impressed upon them worth more than
all they have learned. They will at least es-
cape the contamination of that impurity to
which we referred yesterday. Their time
need not be total loss, as independent pri-
vate schools would necessarily spring up to
supply the new demand at very low rates of
tuition. But if they we're to be kept at home
all Of the time they would be more than re-
paid for their loss.
We would not give this counsel except from
deep conviction that we are advising the best
course and the only surely effective one to
accomplish the desired reformation. There
can be no removal of rooted abuses without
earnest protest, followed by aggressive and
perssvering action.
