THE SCHOOLS TO BE MIXED.

In the hurly-burly of politics, the school
question has been lost sight of, and it appears
now the School Board, profting by the dis.
traction of public attention, and hiding be-
hind an imaginary agis Of the lordly Lieut.
enant General, has taken a stand and declare
that the schools shall hereafter be mixed.
We do now unhesitatingly say that if such is
the determination of those who by accident are
placed in the direction of the education of our
children, it is better that every school be
closed at once, to remain so until such time
rs means are afforded to give the white chill
dren of this city an opportunity to receive
tuition without the loss of their self-respect
or personal dignity.
The issue has been directly made by the
board, and we trust the people will meet it
boldly, notwithstanding the inconvenience it
may occasion. Let the schools be closed.

RATHER CooL.-The Charleston Courier pub.
fishes a memorial to Congress, signed by a
number of that city's colored depositors in
the broken Freedman's Bank, asking the Gov
ernment to Indemnify them for their
losses by that bank They urge that they
were induced by their confidence in "the
high officers Of the Government Of the United
States and other loyal people of the Union y
to deposit their hard earnings in the bank,
and that the loss of their deposits has plunged
them into sore distress, paralyzed their indus
try. etc.
All this is no doubt true, but if the Govern
ment undertakes to make good all the losses
to the people of the South, caused by the
carpet-baggers and other political leaders
whom these negroes trusted, it will never get
through with the job. The negroes might as
we'll ask the Government to indemnify them
for the "forty acres and mule" promised by
their white leaders and never realized; and
the whites could more reasonably ask the as
sumption by the Federal Government of the
Southern State debts created by the progress
OF reconstruction, because that was the
work of the Federal authorities, rather than
OF the people of the South.-MacOn (Gd.)

COURT CIRCULAR.

b. r. H. Prince Sheridan, K. c. B., did moi
sleep comfortably last night to his attend
ants he made known his desire to have the
mattresses changed on the royal couch to
something of softer material.
The Prince, after having partaken of q
sparing breakfast, suitable to his plethoric
temperament, accompanied by the royal re-
tnue, meandered through the streets of the
metropolis. Numerous banditti and local
volunteers were stationed in the thorough
fares, but the utmost order prevailed.
The untoward state of the weather has
greatly interfered with his Royal Highness's
purposes 1t is the Princes intention, as
soon as the weather will permit, to witness a
series of military maneuvers. He will also
enjoy both hunting and shooting during his
stay in our midst.
On dit-It is authoritatively rumored in the
Court that S. B. Packard, NJ. D. A. S. S., has
been appointed physician accoucheur to the
Prince.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The mixture question, as to whether colored
scholars should be admitted into our High
Schools, has at last been definitely settled by
the School Board. They have decided tina,
the colored girls shall remain in the schools,
and threaten at the least outbreak to comply
with this mandate to break up all the schools.
Our reporter has made the rounds Of al
the principal schools, and, SO far as he could
ascertain, none of the colored pupils who had
been forcibly elected therefrom had again ap.
Piled for admission.
However this may be, the various princi-
pals state that as soon as these applicants
seek admission, they must, in conformity with
their instructions from the board, again re-
ceive them.
Other ladies of these schools intend to
abide by their previous resolutions and are
firmly resolved not to receive their diplomas
if they are signed by the present School
Board. To these young ladies we extend our
heartiest sympathy and appreciation, and
admire their high sense of honor greatly in
deed. They surely will never regret the firm
stand they have taken against wrong and op-
preston, and we hope they all will ever
evince alike spirit. Meantime like Micawber,
let us see what will 'turn up" hereafter.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 8, 1875.
Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-On the 21st of August last we
organized secret association for the purpose
of trying to have better laws than we have
been living under for the past three or four
years, so that we could live with the people
and prosper. We want to show the commu-
nifty at large that we were not inundated by
the Democratic party, for the Democratic
party did not know anything about this Or
ganization until after the 18th of September
Then we went to them and asked them to
let us join them and they refused to let Us
until the third time the reason we went to the
Democratic party after the 14th of September
was this we saw that our foundation was very
weak and after the 18th President Alexander
then was in the meeting and said, suggest
that We join the Democratic party and we will
be able to carry our point, they seem to be
very true people, and We wish try them for a
few years and see If the colored people would
prosper any better than they have for last six
or eighth years, because we think that there
is some honest men among them, and the
Southern people are the people that we got to
live with all our lives.
The Republicans that we have elected for
the past few years always leave us in distress.
We were not bought by the Democratic
party, or intimidated by them; we voted the
Democratic ticket of our own free will; we
we're abused by Republicans for doing so; we
applied to Gen. Baldy for protection; the
Democratic party was all the protection we
had.

THE DILEMMA OF CONGRESS.

The position of the Republican party i
ANYTHING but an agreeable one. There cal
be no doubt but that the party, outside o
Congress and the ofice-holders, would urg'
any measures calculated to relieve Louisiana
in such way as to save some chance for it
success at the next Presidential election
But to save the party, it becomes an absolute
necessity to condemn the course OF the Presi
dent
The great leaders and the powerful dailies
Of that party, have, in every manner, crit
cised, in severe language, the whole course
pursuedb by the Administration toward us since
1872. They refer to the great principles which
the Revolution established, and those princi-
pies, now in danger of being overthrow, have
aroused all the moderate politicians OF that
party, and in all the recent public meetings,
resolutions have been adopted announcing
the necessity of adhering to the fundamental
ideas, which only warlike contest OF seven
years established.
The interference of the army and navy in
political matters cannot and will not be justi-
fed. They see the great danger to all the
States, and hence everywhere the voice Of the
great body of the people is raised against the
arbitrary acts of the President We need only
refer to the mastery speech of the aged and
cultivated William Cullen Bryant, who is and
always has been staunch Republican, who
now steps forward and vindicates republican
ism and rebukes and condemns the President.
Mr.. W. M. Evarts, another able member Of
the same party, takes the same course, and no
one can doubt the political status of the ven
cradle Peter Cooper.
The immense meeting in New York was
held, not by any one party, but all the most
noted men in New York came forth and stood
up for the rights of the people. The speak
ers were nearly all Republicans, and the reso
lutions unanimously adopted breathe the
right spirit, have the true ring of steel.
The Republican press take the same stand.
In advocating our cause, they are advocating
the genuine doctrines of republicanism.
While Grant and his Administration receive
no mercy at the hands of Republican journal
ism, 1t is clear the party cannot be saved,
without declaring in advance against the mon
strous measures of the Administration, but |
also against the third term movement.
We may have to wait while, for the diem
ma Of Congress is, to sustain Grant is to ruin
the party; to condemn him, is also the ruin of
his political pets.
But the pressure Of public opinion is SO
great that we hope some plan will suggest it.
self, which may bring peace to us and also
vindicate the elemental truths of pure repub-
licanism.

AN INGENIOUS GUN.

The latest thing in firearms, and one which
we think is destined to create a revolution in
hand-weapons, is the Evans Magazine Rifle,
which eminently commends itself for unique
ness and simplicity Of action. The merit Of
this weapon consists in the rapid and safe way
in which it can be fred Attached to the
stock, and which forms a part thereof. is a
hollow tube or magazine which carries thirty
four 44-10O calibre cartridges, all of which can
be discharged in seventeen seconds.
This magazine can also be preserved intact
and its contents be used as reserve, there
being an orifce on the side of the stock in
which cartridges can be inserted, converting
the gun into an admirable breech loader. The
make up Of this novel weapon is somewhat
peculiar, all Of the machinery being on the
under SIDE The working parts consist OF a
breech block, hammer, trigger, lever, shell
extractor, futed roll and main spring There
are no spiral springs, but by positive and
direct action each cartridge, which is in a
separate chamber of it's own, is forced home
to the chamber of the barrel, through the
mediumship of the futed roll revolving
around the stationary spiral by means of the
breech block and lever.
In weight and appearance this gun closely
resembles the Winchester rifle, with the diff
ference that there is no hammer on top, and
the magazine is in the stock or butt instead
of the bands. 1t is acknowledged by every
one who has seen it in operation to be supe-
rior to anything in the market.
Gen. Terry, who examined its merits, said:
cit was a Gatlin on q mans shoulders"
Capt. A. L. Dyer is the introducer of the
gun here, who will, in few days, be prepared
to supply all demands for it.

Decrease Of Pauperism In England.

We have heard Of the rich becoming richer.
and the poor growing poorer day by day in

Merrill,

OF course every one knew that this distin-
guished warrior would 'get in" with his state
ment. He says there is determination here
to deal summarily with parish Radical Off
Gals, and intimates that all have left except
the Parish Judge, in whose ''nerve" he places
great faith. Per contra, a gentleman whose
simple word would outweigh Merrills oath,
recently had conversation with James and
William Heffner, the latter the Radical can
didate for sheriff. and they both said they had
no apprehensons that any Radical official
would be hurt. Here is an evident discrepancy.
Merrill's "acts of violence" of recent date
are, as matter Of course, fctions of, we
will not say disordered brain, because there
is system and method in all this. So far as
the labor question is concerned, had we been
permitted to enjoy the fruits of the victory
we so clearly won on the second of November,
we believe the planters would have been will
ing to ignore the past-to forgive those labor
ers who voted to yet further accomplish their
ruin. AS it is, we cannot say what action
they will take on this question. --shreveport
