The Louisiana Case.

We have seen the kilograms about the sc-
,;on Of the Louisiana House of Representa-
,iyes In turning out certain members and
seating others, and also the message to PACK
ARD from Mr.. FRYE, N. c., of Ma'Se, who
was chairman Of the congresslonat commit
toe on Louisiana. That message declared
that the Louisiana Conservatives had acted
in :. bad faith" in making the reported
changes. We tipd in the New York Tribune
of Friday the following very satisfactory
yindtcation of these Conservatives coupled
with some very sound views of the manner
in which tke people Of New Orleans have
been placee under a government without
legal authority:
eve never regarded the so-called ccmpro-
mise in louisiana with much favor, feeling
certain that mischief OF the most serious Kind

Icrjm IS which ther reyer ouGh: to overlook. If
the right Of choosing their own rulers IS TO
he taken from them il is better that it should
be,Eone by openwiolence than with their pur.
chased consent. The Conservatives Of Lou
ismna, however, chose to accept compromise
as the lesser Of two evils, sud the terms o!
tine agreement must be vigorously fulfilled by
both sides.

as violation of the agreement, and the he

But we not understand that the action OF the

selves by that instrument to acquiesce in The
Kellogg State Government, and to recognize
as the House of Representatives those mem'

J. w. Jenkins.

IL. tries to tell something concerning JonN

Dagger, but we can't exactly understand
yha, it is that the Herald is driving at:
EXIT J. W. JENKINS.
"The worst ever saw !" "Tbe poorest
play that ever was played Quit" These were
some of the common expressions about the
Jenkins pardon business for several days
past. " Nefarious, corrupt, vena, damnable,
etc." were some other adjective ideas adj
vanced by both political parties, and 1.-THE
end is not yet" 1t will lie unfortunate for
the Routt administration at best; but
Governor Routt will doubtless make
a clean breast of it by routing the
rats of the Administration cribs at an
early day, and thus save Colorado's
credit. This will be bis safest, sureSt,
and speediest way to work out his own sal
walton for the future. The Grant carpet

any hazard. The safety Of citizenship Ia
Colorado requires it: and the general senti-

MAYO, HALIFAX COUNTY. VA, 4!

MAYO, HALIFAX COUNTY, VA,
April 81, 1875.
Editors Dispatch In experimenting and
organizing Sunday schools for the colored
people in various sections OF this county
have had the opportunity 10 see most OF rhe
public schools, and have closely observed
their progress. When the public-school sys'
tenn was first put In operation The trustees
found 1t hard task TO obtain competent
teachers, especially for colored schools; but
am glad to see this difficulty is being re-
moved more and more every year. during
the last two years most of our teachers Tor
colored schools were white gentlemen and
ladies who were we'll qualified to teach white
schools, but volunteered to teach the colored
children, and have done much good. Some
of our teachers were coored men, who have
been qualifying themselves tor the minis
try or for teachers in the South. These
teachers (ar from egotism) have by their
diligence and perseverance evlnced desire
and a determination TO reform the morals OF
and to elevate the people with whom they
sojourn.
Three years ago comfortable school-houses
could hardly be found for either race; but
the efficient and satisfactory management Of
The schools has influenced landholders TO
build comfortable houses for rent, and many
have given very desirable sites upon which
to erect permanent school.houses. Speaking
for my race, l am glad to say the literary i'm.
provement is already visible. and we are
grateful, and hope that in our educational
and other affairs we may still receive the
same aid, without which we cannot do much.
But along with secular education the
colored people need religious instruction.
For three years I have been engaged in the
Sunday.school work in this county--a work
which seems almost hopeless and l find
that suitable books and competent teachers
are what is wanted to carry on the work.
The only Sabbath schools that are doing
much good are those conducted by public
school teachers. Respectfully,
Il. j. MEDLEY.
