WILD AFRICANS.

The strife and warfare necessarily going on
between the Liberian colonists and the sur
rounding native barba1ians ought to teach
the freed negroes of this country valuable
lesson.
The colony has been established for long
time, having been a favorite scheme with
those who try to elevate the African race, and
having received the liberal aid of a great
number Of wealthy humanitarians of Europe
aud America. Its inhabitants have been the
pick and choice of the negro race, sent we'll
clad and well furnished, with kno Wedge Of
agriculture and mechanic arts. The site of the
colony was selected with view to salubrity,
fertility and ease of access by sea. Enlight-
ened missionaries have accompanied the colo
nists and remained with them. Men of some
ability were placed in charge of the public
affairs of the colony, and everything which
benevolence could suggest has been done for
the protection, comfort and prosperity of the
colonists.
Many sanguine hopes were INDUCED by
friends of colonization. The time was antici-
paCoQ Wueu prosperous AdUioA Va oAAAS e0AA
ed Africans would exist on the western coast.
near the equator, whence would radiate the
light of civilization throughout the realm of
barbarian darkness until the whole of the re-
gions of Central and Southern Africa should
becomecivilized and lawgoverned.
The result has been mockery OF these
pictured dreams of philanthropic success.
In spite OF all that has been done the colony
pines and dwindles, and the inhabitants are
becoming more and more like their aboriginal
neighbors who now want to kill and eat them.
We now learn that fierce war is in progress,
and that the L,berians are kept in constant
terror by cannibal tribes.
Like those of all other colonies of negroes,
the history and condition of Liberia show
that African nature left to itself gravitates
towards barbarism whenever deprived of the
benefits of the rule, the example and the mora
power of that Caucasian race whose tendency
is always directly the opposite.

ST, LOUIS AND THE TEXAS SUE.
FERERS,

Tie Galveston Neaos, in commenting on an
article which appeared few days ago in the
BULLETIN contrasting the course OF Boston
and other cities with that Of st. Louis in re-
gard to aiding the sufferers by the hurricane
in Texas, remarks that the non-action Of the
last named city was "about as cold and un-
feeling as anything could well be. and says
further:
The waters that had swept the low lands Of
the island had not receded to their common
level ere Galveston had sent q vessel with
clothing, provisions and other necessarles to
the famishing survivors of the Indianola dis
aster. New Orleans, Boston and New York,
distant San Francisco, and other cities and
towns responded with electric speed to the
tales of wo that were flashed over the wires;
but st. Louis tells Texas to "afford the suf-
ferers all the assistance that will be required,
and .if Texas is not able to do this, THEN st.
Louis will come to the rescue"
In the meantime three thousand homeless
and furnishing people stand amid the ruins OF
their homes and the perishing remains OF
their dead, to await the decision OF the ques-
ton whether municipal authorities or boards
of trade should take the initiative in organ
lied charities for the relief of the survivors OF
whole towns and counties, whose all of worldly
possessions has been swallowed by the pitiless
waves. This is in strange contrast with the
liberality that offers ten thousand dollars
year to divert cotton from its natural chan
nels and build up a market for it where none
naturally exists. The losses by the storm IN
Texas are counted by millions; and there was
no danger that even the muniicence of st.
Louis would have been wasted on the thou
sands of people left destitute and homeless
by the calamity

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

There is q vague suspicion that Gov. kei-
loep is remaining away in order to escape the
school imbroglio, which is, to say the very
least, assuming very ugly aspect, and wnicn
the acting Gov. Antoine does not seem able to
cope with successfully. 1t is idle to attempt
to evade the responsibility for this notorious
" improper and scandalous Beard of School
Directors.
The negro Superintendent Of Education
who holds his Office by virtue OF Federal
bayonets-who never was and never could
have been elected to the position by the peo-
pie of Louisiana, is primarily responsible Tor
the board, as under the law he commissions
the members and really selects them-the City
Superintendent nominating, at his dlctatlon'
of course. The excuse that the material OF
which the board is composed is the best the
Republican party here affords is not true, and
would not be valid, if true.
1t would have been difficult for ignorance,
stupidity and malice combined. to have Sc
lected a much worse board than the present,
either as to its intellectual or moral make up,
and the only wonder is that the people, who
support the schools which these men have de-
based for partisan and other and worse pur-
poses, should have thus long borne patiently
with so serious and gross an outrage upon
their rights.
The time when such things could be tole-
rated in an enlightened and free community
is gone by They could never have existed
except for the protecting shadow of bayonets
and usurpation, Old things have passed
away, all things are new, and the School Board
of New Orleans is perhaps the only body in
the State that fails to appreciate the fact.
Wrapped up in the idea of its own impor-
lance, and relying upon the peaceful and for
bearing spirit of the people, who are notori-
ously slow to anger, it hears the mutterings OF
popular dsconten-but foolishly gives no heed
treats with scorn the solemn verdict OF the
people, and insolently declines to receive the
expression of their disapprobation.
The Radical leaders in this city are shrink
ing from grave responsibility, and the peo-
pie expect Messrs. Packard, Herwig, Field, ct
al, to take sides with or against them in this
matter, which is simply and purely regula-
ton and publication of the public schools Of
New Orleans, and of the School Board, ofNew
Orleans which they must, and we believe do,
concede is unfit to WELD the responsible
duties which devolve upon public educators.
We call upon those members of the board
who are not enemies of education and of the
people, and who desire to retain the respect
| to their fellow-citizens, to withdraw therefrom
since they can no longer be of benefit
to the community. Even if the popular dis
content was unfounded, it is the part of wis
dom to recognize its existence as a solid and
/ irrefutable fact and to defer to it.
When men in any public Office of trust lose
for any reason the ability to be OF service to
the public whom they are presumed to serve,
it is clearly their duty to withdraw and make
room for others, who can more efficiently and
acceptably fill their places.

The movement against the city School
Board has been maintained now for some
time and as yet there has not appeared
single champion in its behalf There is not
single Republican in this State of any
standing who would SO far stultify himself as
to assert that the Board is proper one-nay,
there is not member of the Board itself who
has, as yet, had the audacity to proclaim that
the popular discomfort was unreasonable,
and that the body as at present composed was
fit to administer the responsible and delicate
duties devolving upon them
The schools are daily and hourly deterio-
rating the influencesthat surround them are
daily becoming worse and worse, parents are
Withdrawing their children in order to save
them from contamination, and unless there
is at an early date an entire reorganization OF
the School Board and wedding out from the
schools such teachers as are VIGOROUSLY In
competent and unworthy, the public schools
Of this great city will become inevitably a
disgrace which it may take years to eradicate
It is burning shame that number OF lgno-
rant and reckless negroes, aided and abetted
by few white men-not whit better than
themselves should WELD the destiny of the
schools which are paid for by the whites, who
are in m ajority of three to one.
That a negro who was foisted into his po-
sition by bayonets over the head of gentle
man elected by very large majority should
dare to insult the intelligence of this COM
munity by the creation of board so utterly
destitute-so far as large majority OF its
members are concerned-of any claim to fit
ness, and, in soma cases. even to decency-a
board which is no VIGOROUSLY partisan and
corrupt as to meet the unqualified condemns
ton of the members of his own party-is, to
say the least, evidence of his own unftness.
He is really responsible for every act OF this
body, and to him, also. should attach all the
odium which the board has earned for itself

Capt. Webb, the marvellous swimmer who
lately crossed the English Channel by sheer
exercise Of muscle, has been examined by o
distinguished surgeon, who reports the re-
suits in the Lancet. The captain is said to be
s feet and inches in height; weight, 2O3
pounds; chest measure, Al inches; biceps 13a
inches; forearm, III inches. One remarkable
thing about the captains physical develop
ment is his weight, which is extraordinary for
an athlete, and shows, as the surgeon says,
the presence of considerable other tissue
beside muscle.

cit cost the government of the United
States "a million of lives and untold mil ions
of money to secure to large majority of the
Republicans Of Mississippi the right to vote.
Rest assured that that sacred investment OF
blood and treasure will be looked after, and
millions more will be expended, if necessary,
to preserve that right"
So say the Radical fuglemen of Mississippi
to their colored dupes. The negro votes in
the South number something less than three
fourths of million when all counted. At
this rate it took four white mems lives to
make three negro votes. That was paying
too much for the whistle.
It is generally understood that we have
well regulated detachment of police called
"Suburban Police" We say understood,
because people living in the more populous

pose so, and those who dwell in the suburbs
occasionally read something about that branch
of the police force; but the members of thai
police are rarely visible except by those VINO
ride or drive by the station near the cemete

The dwellers in the region round abou
these supposed precincts rarely ever see po
lice officer, and are absolutely "hankering
after an occasional glimpse of q genuine uni
formed Metropolitan policeman. One officer
we are told, does duty at night on Cana
