A FAIR ELECTION.

It is incumbent upon the friends Of reform
in the General Assembly TO take all possible
care that there shall be no notable defect in
any one Of their own bills. 1t is especially
their duty to see that in the election law no
injustice is done to voters Of any party. Ihey
must remember that large proportion OF the
voters of Louisiana are proprietors OF no
landed property, and Of little else than their
own labor, on which they depend for SUBJ
sistence; that they are obliged to sell that
labor where it is wanted, and that, IN seeking
employment they are obliged to pass from
parish to parish or from ward to ward in the
same parish, in many cases several times dur
ing the year. People who reside upon their
own property, or those who are engaged in
any settled occupation, do not change their
location and would feel no inconvenience. A
section of the House bill No. As, the election
law which the Senate SO discourteoEsly
showed aside, reads as follows:
That no person shall be permitted to vote at
any election in this State, except In the parish
and in the ward Of the parish in which his
certificate Of registration shows him to re-
side.
On the part Of the member who introduced
this bill, and Of his colleagues, who aided
him in framing it, and Of the Conservatives
whose votes passed it in the House, we know
very well that the intention was to deal with
all classes of voters in strict fairness. They
had no wish or intent to put the slightest i'm
pediment in the way Of any class of citizens
in the exercise of right which is most SOL
EMMY pledged and guaranteed to them.
Therefore, when we call their attention to a
clause of their bill which is liable to a per-
version, by which colored laborers on planta-
tons may be subjected to needless inconve-
nience aud loss of time, if not to an entire
loss Of the privilege of voting, they will duly
appreciate our object.
The feeling OF the conservative people of
Louisiana is about this: Being assured Of
their own ability to secure fair play and
reasonably fair opportunity to have their real
vote freely polled and honestly counted, they
are DESTROYS that the same fair chance should
be given to their opponents. They ask no
advantage and would use note that might be
offered, and they therefore desire no provision
in the election law through whose effect the
humblest voter can rightfully complain that
he has bsen hindered in the exercise Of his
right. They demand fair play and insist
upon it, and what they claim for themselves
they will not deny their opponents.

Senator Morton made iabored speech

g THE GRAYS AND THE BLUES"
A couMENDABLE ORGANIZATION.

The organization of such associations as the
one announced in the appended circular is alto
gether praiseworthy, and must win the approba-
ton of ali sincere friends OF amnesty who are
willing to forget the woes of the past and assuage
as best they may the sudferings of those whose
connection with the civil war resulted in such af-
fiction as entities them to the sympathy and re-
spect Of al true men OF both sections OF our COM
mon country. What more complete and salts
factory denial could be given to the yells of such
demagogues al Morton, Blaine Il Co. than the or
ganization of just such as .ociations throughout
our entire Southland? We trust this new move
ment may be eminently successful, and bespeak
for it the hearty Endorsement OF all our people,
independent Of all past political tierences:
We have he honor to inform the public that
we are about to organize . Mutual Benevoledt
Association, composed exclusively Of manned and
crippled soldiers OF the late war confederate as
well as Union soldiers), under the title OF the
"Grays and the Blues" an association which
shall place beyond the reach Of absolute want
the needy crippled of the war. Once organized
this association will be under the patrona &c of
committee of ladies' from this city and State.
Daily we meet begging on the streets homeless
and friendless crippled soldiers. To which ever
army they belonged let us look upon them IS
help we can. For that purpose is the proposed
organization Of the above association. All GRIP
pied soldiers wishing to join US can do so by sp-
plying to the following committee:

control and manage ment of the public schools
of New Orleans to the city authorities. Be-
fore the city schools were taken from the
watchful care Of the City Council and put
under the dry nursing of Radical politicians,
their teachers were always puncsually paid.
They will again be paid when their salaries
are due if our city schools are restored to the
control of the city government. We hope
the enlightened committees on education in
both houses will take due note of this
memorial.
The petitioners will permit Us to suggest,
by way of parenthesis or postscript, that
they need not complain of the brokers who
buy their certificates. We are not the
champions of brokers as a class, but being
somewhat familiar with the laws Of supply
and demand, We can assure the teachers who
have been obliged to sell their claims against
the city that they obtained in average cases
more nearly what those claims were intrinsi-
cally worth than they may have supposed,
and more than they would have obtained if
there were no brokers to make advances. For
example, teacher labored faithfully during
the month of November, 1874, and earned
eighty dollars. Waiting three months and
getting no pay, because the city had nothing
to pay With, she sold her claim for $50 to
broker. it may be, for $40. According to the
memorial that broker has lost the use of his
money for nine or ten months when he could
have turned it over with profit Of one or one
and q half per cent. per month in other trans
actions. 1t is much the same way with other
claims against the city. The scrip or claims
for services rendered to the city
during the last six months of 1874
are not worth fifty cents in the
dollar, and brokers who buy them sell :hem
again Immediately for such an advance as will
invested. The four hundred instructors need
only invoke the arithmetic which they teach to
convince themselves that certain sum in
hand to-day is worth more than the possibility
of twice that sum at some distant, un6xed and
doubtful future date. One who ''speaks from
the card assures US that if all thu taxes for
1874 were to be psid, the proceeds would not
meet the expenses of that year. Those ex-
penses have been duly ordinanced and the
several claimants have right to demand pay
ment; but by the charter the income of 1874
must pay the expenses of that year. That
income has not been realized by the city.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of it remain
unpaid, and will so remain for long time.
Now if brokers buy these unpaid claims of
1874 and pay for them forty five or fifty cents
in the dollar. it would not be reasonable to
accuse them Of making profit Of fly OF fifty
five cents in the dollar.
But aside from these obvious considerations,
we hope the Legislature will. duly consider
the disagreeable and very embarrassing stu
alton Of the unpaid teachers OF our public
schools, and make all proper haste to restore
those schools to the control Of the Mayor and
Administrators, who know what the city needs
and what she can afford to pay for.

THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

large number Of ladies and gentlemen, teach.
e1s of the public schools, met at the Boys Cen
trail High School yesterday, for the purpose Of
holding their first monthly meeting.
At II O'clock, Rev. B. Wayne, principal of the
Bienville Street School and President of the as
ISOLATION, called the meeting to order, with few
remarks instructing those assembled in the OBJ
jects of the association.
Mr. Leech, chairman of the executive COM
mittee said that he was informed by Mr.. Jarves,
Of the firm OF Harp Bros, that if it was the OBJ
ect of the ASSOCIATION to establish reading room,
that the firm would donate $50 per year and five
monthly Magazines.
After considerable debate the matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee with power to
act.
A constitution and bylaws were read and
adopted.
The following report was submitted to the
meeting. 1t was read, unanimously adopted, and
on motion ordered spread upon the minutes.
REPORT.
The undersigned members OF committee ap-
pointed to find and arrange the best Legislative
measures for securing the payment Of arrears
due to the teachers OF the public schools" beg
leave to report that, in accordance with the
above, they sought legal ADVICE upon the subject
and conferred with different members Of the
Legislature. All agree that the best method
would be to address petition to that
body, setting forth the financial embarrass-
ments Of the teachers and soliciting assist
ance. The undersigned therefore drew up
q statement to that effect and submitted
it to that esteemed friend Of the teachers
Mr.. Shaw. This gentleman carefully examined
the memorial, testified his appreciation, and
urged immediate action. They accordingly sign
ed the document in MIR. Shaws Office sent one
copy to Mr.. Herwig Of the Senate, another to MIR.
L. A. Wilt CT the House. 1t must. however, be
added that, as the gentlemen of the committee
thought proper to withdraw and left the ladies to
act atone; this will explain why the memorial
which appeared in the Republican bore but three
sigma tuoes.
But should this application meet with success,
the undersigned Will heartily rejoice that their
feeble efforts have contributed TO benefit their
colleagues.
All OF which is respectfully submitted
