The Issue Must be Met.

From the New orlsaus Bulletin.
1t is too late to talk over the |
school question, or to utter wordy |
protests against the Authorization
and degradation of the public
schools. The issue has been de-
iberately forced upon us, and it
must be met.
1t is not practicable, in our
opinion, to assail successfully the
present school management so
long as ladies and white children
lend the sanction Of their presence
to the infamous thing. So long as
ladies OF reputation and high So
cial standing consent to continue
their necessary association with
the incompetent, ignorant, and, in
some cases, brutal and immoral
negroes and white men who COM
pose the majority Of the School
Board, they hinder the movement
for the purifcation and elevation
Of the public schools, and are
really their own worst enemies.
Let chem abandon the schools
al they would any other abomina-
ton, and let them take out with
them the white children, thereby

hn1scRImIyATIEG RLILWAY POLICY

The mysteries of the management of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad are something,
as Mr.. Dundreary would say, no fellow can
find out. OF one feature of ii, however,
the people of Washington are always GER
tain, and that is that it will certainly dis
criminate against them and in favor of Bal
timore. Only few months ago, during
the Garrett and Scott unpleasantness, we
believe it was, Mr.. Garrett held up his
hands and declared himself the great apos-
tie of cheap fares and low freights. The
tenor of Mr.. CARROTS promises were like
Democratic platforms, (very uncertain
things to put your trust in,) and yet we
felt like taking him at his word and grant
ing him forgiveness for past sins.
1t turns out that Mr.. Garrett did not
mean what he said, and in holding himself
up as an advocate of low fares and cheap
freights was only initiating the devil when
he undertook to rebuke sin. Here is what
we base our remarks on: One Of our West
End merchants wanted to get a few car
loads of West Virginia splint coal. As
there had been a great deal of trouble about
Ohio roads, especially in coal from West
Virginia, this merchant applied to one of
the superintendents to fix the freight from
Staunton TO Washington, and received the
following reply: "Our rate on coal from
"there (Staunton) TO Washington at pres
lent is $2.67 per ton. If your shipments
would probably reach any considerable
"amount we might be able to do better for
"you than that" This, it seems, was the
freight rate charged during last season.
Now mark the difference, for it is differ
ence with vengeance. Two car loads of
coal arrived, each containing about ten and
a half tons; the freight on one was S53.6S,
on the other S53 OF, in all $10G.70. 1t will
be seen by this that instead of So per
ton nearly S. a ton was charged. This
virtually amounted to prohibition of West
Virginia coal from this market. When the
merchant asked for an explanation of this,
at the depot in this city, he was coolly told
tkat if he wanted a rebate he must apply
to the proper officer and in the proper
manner.
The secret of all this was explained in
our columns about year ago, when we
described the valley branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad as a mere bleeder
to the Chesapeake and Ohio. 1t has for a
long time been the policy of the Baltimore
and Ohio management, not only TO destroy
the Coal business Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, but to cripple its business in
every possible way, and this with a view
of ultimately getting possession of it, and
attracting the rich trade of the Kanawha
valley 10 Baltimore via Stauuton, leaving
to the people of Richmond such husks of
trade as they might pick up between that
point ard their city. Perhaps we ought to
have said between GordonsvIlle and their
city, for the Baltimore and Ohio now
controls the Virginia Midland. What are
the people of Richmond doing that they do
not see the danger of their movements,
and the damage they are calculated to in
fict on their commercial interests?

pand the respect Of the civilized world that

these two thoughts, so blended with the pros
