ON DIT.

Board
-. Senator West has returned to the CITY,
He he'd levee yesterday, and the great and
small leaders of the faithful called on him.
-. The expositions of the School Board by
the press Of this city, are being copied far
and wide, and the people everywhere are
pointing at it as a noisesome thing.
=. Certain members of the School Board
are, it is said, laughing in their sleeves about
the mass meeting and say that it will blou
over. That may be SO; but they may rest
assured they will blo,c ouer with it.
-. What is the matter in the Harbor Pre-
cinct? There has not been single hospital
patient for the last two days. The weather
must take effect on the paupers The general
average is four day, who come from differ
ent points on the Coast.
-. One of the members of thu School
Board, it is said, declared that they had in :
tended to remove the colored teacher E l.
munds from the Boys Central High School,
but when they found the fuss that was made
about it, they concluded to keep him there to
exhibit their contempt for public opinion.
=. The r .dical party has many sins to
answer for, but the present School Board is a
disgrace that will cling to its skirts and drag
it down into the mire whenever it attempts to
rise and pretend to be decent. It is run
ming sore which offends the public constantly.
-. The Third Precinct police made another
raid on the Dauphine street women Tuesday
morning. It is the intention of Capt. Lawler
TO abate the much complained of nuisance
and make the street one that lady can pass
through without fear of insult
=. B ,rney Lynch, of tna School Board. is
no relation to the celebrated Judge Lynch, of
the border States. lie is, however, an init
mate friend of Morris Chester, and knows
precisely how much the refusal, by white
man, to sell colored man glass of soda
water damages the feelings of said son of
Africa.
!. Judge Lynch had lively wrestle with
a well.known attorney yesterday, in which
the lawyer spoke some rather plain words,
and the Judge felt his dignity somewhat af-
fronted. A contempt for the Court was ex-
pressed, and the Judge couldn't stand it, SO
he exerted the laws magistracy.
-. We reiterate our demand for the resjgna-
ton of those members of the School Board who
are holding their offices in direct contravention
of the Constitution of the State. Come,
which member will set the example Of doing
the proper thing in obeying the law and bow
ing to the will of the majority? The best way
to get out of disagreeable position is to retire
gracefully. There can be no humiliation in
doing what is just and right.
III is gratifying to note the excellent
scores made by our rifsmen, although they
have had hardly any practice at one thousand
yards The practice corroborates what we
said some time since, that New Orleans could
put team in the field, after some practice,
equal to any in this country. We trust there
will be as much pains as possible taken to Sc
cure all the beneficial results of practice pos
sible, so that when the Centennial comes we
may confidently look for our rihemen well
up to the front
!. The Mayor was visited at his Office
yesterday by committee of the young ladies
of the Med onogh School No. l, who, after
him on their own behalf with
bouquet, on behalf of the school
rendered him small and neat box, which
bore the following inscription:
Mayor Leeds, New Orleans:
The girls of McDonogh School No. de-
sire to extend through you their heartfelt
sympathy for, and with it the accompanying
contribution, to the suffering people of In
dianola, Texas.
The box contained the sum of twenty-five
dollars and forty-fve cents, all in small bills.
j ust as had been contributed by and received
from the pupils of the schools. The offering
is generous one, and was gracefully tend
cred.
=. There is promise Of lively conflict
between the keeper of the city archives and
records and the City Council. At its meeting
on Tuesday, 14th inst, the Council by reso-
luton instructed the Administrator of Water
Works and Public Buildings to prepare a
room in the City Hall for the records. !, This
action Of the Council was followed by a COM
from Mr.. Bendernagel, the keep
er, addressed to the Administrator of Water
Works, notifying him that it was unnecessary
for him to put the city to the expense of fit
ting up room, as he 0he keeper would not
deliver the records as he did no. consider
the City Hall the proper place for them, and
their removal there would entail great hard
ship on those whose business compelled fire.
quent reference to them. The letter further
notified Mr.. Bouny that unless some proper
place in central location was secured by the
city government, that he would procure one
and charge the city for rent
The letter was accompanied by communi
cation from number of lawers indorsing the
statement as regards the hardship, etc.
The documents were referred by the Ad-
ministrator of Water Works to the City AZ
torney, who, in a letter, expressed himself as
differing with Mr.. Bendernagel, and gave it
as his opinion that the objections raised by
that gentleman should be overruled.
