THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

The report Of the present Grand Jury
on the Louisiana Lottery Company
which was presented to-day in the Su.
perior Criminal Court. we lay before the
public in another column. 1t deserves
the careful reading and serious conside.
ration OF every good citizen who is in.
terested in the welfare Of this commu.
nifty. The document needs no comment
Mt our hands. 1t speaks in no uncertain
tone Of a deadly evil, and was signed
by every member of the Grand Jury.
We commend the document especially
to those prominent citizens who
have, according to some Of our con-
temporaries, been induced to lend
their sanction to the approaching
drawing, as also to the acting At.
torney General of the State, to
whom the Grand Jury commend a line
OF very proper action. We trust the
Legislature will take steps immediately
after organization to rid the State of the
loathsome corporation.

Henderson, President.
We wish IL distinctly understood tina,
VIC do not. even by implication, give
our sanction to this thing called tho
Louisiana Levee Company" and, III
general terms, for the following rea
sons:
1. The original charter of this com
pany was obtained from the Warmotl
Legislature vile a set Of scamps as
ever cursed civilization -and, no doubt
by the most corrupt means.
2. The present company purchased
the franchises of tho original company
with full knowledge Of the odium
attached to Il, az well rs full knowl-
edge OF the utter detestation In which
II was hold by the good people OF the
State.
3. Because tho company Is not, and
never has boon (even IL acting under n
legitimate charter pccuniarily able to
meet the exigencies OF the vast under
taking OF building and repairing the
levees OF the State, as Is made manifest
by their own showing.
4. Because we cannot regard as at all
legitimate or proper a company OF our
own citizens organizing TO build and
repair levecs with money gathered from
the people by taxation, when the same
money can be used by the State for the
same purpose.
6. Because, beyond q peradvcnture,
the prices received by the Levee Com
pany for building lcvecs is exorbitant,
clear beyond the actual value OF the
work.
@. Because, whereas there was in the
original charter obtained from the War.
moth Legislature one partially saving
clause for the unfortunate planter--thc
clause for recovery Of damages from the
company in case of crevasse and over
ilow-the present company did prevail
on the equally vile Kellogg Legislature
to repeal said clause. thus fixing con.
tract with the company whereby they
could safely tax the planter, but suffer
no penalty In case of negligence or mis-
application Of funds.
Finally, the Louisiana Levcc Compa-
ny Is part Of a wretched system of mo-
nopolies, and Is thus Mt entire variance
with our ideas OF good government.

TIE PRINCIPLE FOR WHICH OUR
MAYOR CONTENDS.

II is q matter OF the utmost import
ansc for the people To bear fully III
mind that tho chief point in the recent
message OF our honored Mayor Is bis
manly protest against tho outrage OF
bostowing the taxing power on those
irresponsible bodies of INSCRIPTIONS
partisans known as tho Police and
School "boards."
IT there be " fundamental principle
OF Republican government worth fight
ing for, 1t Is that Of mo taxation with
out representation and II that great
principle Is to be maintained, these
legislatures presumed to be tho repre-
sentatives Of the people, must be made
TO feel that they cannot delegate to any
"board" the power to Tux ut all, much
less to tax indefinitely, and without
responsibility.
In the proper organization Of our re-
publican form or government lcgisla-
lures have been land very justly and
properly very jealous In the bestowal
Of the privilege on city, town and county
corporations of fixing even prescribed
tax on their own people for their own
benefit; and II Is within the obserya-
ton of every intelligent man that even
this privilege has been grossly abused.
But what u monstrous outrage Is 1t OF,
the cominoncst rights of frecmcn to
delegate To u board selected by a Gorcr-
nor he pO,rer IN tar WithOut limit. And
then when we contemplate the appall-
ing facts that this very Governor Is not
the choice Of the people, but Is an
usurpcr of the vilcst kind, and that his
appointces are in many instances vaga-
bond aliens, without material or any
other interests here beyond that of liv-
ing and fattening Off the reduced sub
stance Of the people, we can only won
der that not before this has the great
contest inaugurated by the Mayor been
raised.
The great principle for which our
forefathers deliberately plunged into
a physical conflict of seven long years
with the mother country, lend but feeble
illustration compared to that which is
on this people. Rather than drink tea
taxed without their consent, the people
Of Boston pitched the cargoes into the
sea and took to their muskets for sup
port the taxes levied by the Police and
School Boards are to rivet the chains Of
slavery on our wrists and to degrade
our system Of education to the standard
of the usurper and the carpet-bagger.
Never was more important issue made
than this one by our brave and patri-
otic Mayor. The Administrators must
stand by him. They were put In office
through herculean cxertion of the peo-
pie for the purpose Of relieving the peo-
pie. Nobody can more properly make
the great and vital issue Of resistance
to despotic unrcpublican law than the
constituted local authorities OF great
city claiming to exist under republican
government. For tho Administrators
to sit quietly in their seats and admin
lister laws upon this people which they
know to be oppressive, destructive and
unrepublican, is TO be only as useful as
Radical Councils have been and would
be again. Until they have publicly de-
tcrmined to do so, we shall have tho
fullest faith that they are the faithful
and patriotic servants OF an oppressed
neople

OFFICIAL ACTS.

Before he was drawn by force from
the Governorship to which the people
of Louisiana had elected him by a large
majority, Gov. McEnery had not only
issued many commissions, but the fol
lowing regularly authenticated writ OF
election to the supervisors Of the sew
eral parishes, to which it was directed,
for the purposes us stated. This fact
disposes OF the Blaine question, to which
such a prompt answer was given, and
by which it was denied on the floor OF
the House of Representatives that Gov.
McEnery had ever performed single
official act. We publish the paper show
ing one official act by the Governor, be-
fore he was interrupted by Grants pow
or in favor of usurpation, and actually
forced to yield his Office, and to see tne
rights of the people overwhelmed. The

The Bible in the Schools.

The Presbyterian clergy OF Chicago
held u meeting last week and adopted
declaration, from which we take the
following sufficient extract:
Morality and religion being essen
tial to the welfare OF the State, tho Bible,
their source and exponent, should re-
main in the schools where the citizens
Of the State are trained. The removal
OF the Bible would seriously damage our
school system, and not allay the hos
tility of our enemies. The Bible is not
secotarian, and does not engender State
and church connections. Its removal
would be the beginning, and would in
volve principles OF u complete seculari-
zation of the State, which would even
tually issue in the downfall Of the
Republic"
The reverend gentlemen knew per-
fectly we'll that their Bible, the Protest
ant Bible. is not the Catholic Bible or
the Jewish Bible. They certainly would
not be willing to accept the Douay YER
sion Of the Scriptures, or the Old Testa-
Why. then, can they. not see
that the preference of the Catho-
lies and Jews is entitled to as
much respect as their own? This is not
a Protestant country any more than it
is Catholic or Jewish countey. This
is not a Protestant government any
more than it is Catholic or Jewish
government. Our schools are no more
Protestant schools than they are
Catholic or Jewish schools They are
public schools; supported by the
public and intended for the public-not
FOR this, that, or the other sect. To Sc
cure the permanence and efficiency of
these schools, they must be kept for
ever free from all entangling alliances
of every kind, sort, or description. The
Bible though it contains messages Of
peace, can be so used as to make it
certainly would be if thrust into the
schools. Therefore, for it's own sake,
and for the schools sake, keep it out

liberal share Of the public patronage.
