ANOTHER CASE In POINT.

Some days ago we published the case of
former teacher, a lady who was removed some
time previous, and who had since her removal
been endeavoring to get the present board to
reinstate her. The facts in the case were
laid before US in communication, which we
published.
The case was hard one, and one that
would have moved to generosity, we thought,
the most unchartable. In absolute want she
struggled on from day to day, hopeful in her
reliance on the promises of the directors,
promises never kept, for the position that was
to have been given to the lady was filed by
the appointment of favorite of the board.
The directors explained. and were once
more profuse in promises and continued
making them until the letter appeared, when,
as we are informed by another communica-
ton from our correspondent, which commu-
cation we append, the promising directors,
far from being moved by her touching story,
accused the lady of being the author of the
letter, and informed her that she had ruined
her cause with the board, and withdrew all
promises.
The directors, we presume, knew whereof
they spoke, and that the board, if there ever
was an intention of reinstating the lady,
moved by the vindictive spirit which has
characterized all their proceedings, deliber-
ately determined that as punishment of the
unfortunate lady, they would not consider her
name
1t was just such action as might have been
expected of the board; it was but another
exhibition of that depraved and low charac-
ter which has manifested itself in all they
have done.
The time is not far distant when there will
be change The people have borne with
these men about as long as they can, and it
will not be long ere they are retired and con-
signed to obscurity.
The letter of our correspondent reads as
follows
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Apropos of the second case in point which

the first instance. The unfortunate subject

the author of the primal case in point and
generously informed that its publication in

would have been reinstated," ETC., etc.
1t is probable the matter was discussed at
the meeting of directors. One would mag

of undeniable facts, far from injuring help

in her behalf the most ardent sympathy,

claim by their instant action all participation
in such shameful case of injustice. In this
