THE AT BATON ROUGE
Prompt Action Ordered.

Governor kellogg has addressed an
order to the district attorney at Baton
Rouge to take prompt action in the
courts in relation to the recent troubles
there. He says: Il am definitely inform
ed that George p. Davis, Parish Judge,
and b. /. Beauregad, State and parish
tax collector, of East Baton Rouge, have
been driven from the parish in open vio-
lation of the law. The parish judge is
a constitutional officer elected by large
and undisputed majority. Up to this
time no charges have been substantiated
against him which would affect his right
to exercise his office. If he has been
guilty of any such charge il is your duty
to institute proceedings against him be
fore the District Court now in session at
East Baton Rouge. The tax collector
of the parish was appointed by NE some
three years ago. He is a colored man,
who. before appointed him, had served
l believe, creditably as United States
Collector of Internal Revenue. If he
is defaulter, or has been derelict in his
duty, it is also in your province to pro-
ceed against him before the grand jury
now in session in East Baton Rouge
The Sheriff of the parish, a constitu-
tional officer, elected by large majori-
ty, was some time since driven away
and compellee to resign, no offense being
alleged against him that | am aware of
except that he was coloIed man. l
appointed in bis place a white man, a
native of the parish, and perceive that
a committee chosen at a meeting recent
ly held at Baton Rouge, while express
i &C. 4, 4,
of his political associations, recommend
ed that he be tolerated for the present,
thus disclosing the animus of those who
have taken the law into their own hands
to be directed against appointees be-
cause they are Republicans This, too,
in a parish admitted to be largely Re
publican. | do not intend TO permit a
resort to mob violence in East Baton
Rouge or elsewhere in this State. To
the end therefore that / may exhaust all
civil remedies, request you to immedi-
ately institute proceedings before the
District Court against all persons known
to have been concerned in the recent
unlawful disturbance in the city of Ba-
ton Rouge. and not only against these
persons but against any officers of the
parish who may have been derelict in
the discharge of their duties. Should
the sheriff be called upon to execute any
process of the court you Will cause him
to be instructed to summon posse COM
HdtsLs of good citizens to execute the
process, no matter by whom resisted,
and if met by force you will cause NE to
be Informed immediately OF the fact. |
request you to further call the special
attention of the District judge TO these
points and TO move in open court for in
structions to the grand jury touching
these matters"

Ninth-The thanks of the people are
due to President Grant for his faithful
adherence to Republican principles, and

THE SITUATION.


At no time in our history as a nation
has there been such an absolute necessi-
ty for the continuance of the principles
taught and practiced by the Republican
party. Those who were disposed to be-
Iieve that change in the political power
of the land would bring about the mil
lennium, are previously disappointed,
and now deprecate any change. Those
who allowed themselves to be led away
by false promises and fair-weather
pledges, have been cruelty dealt with.
The siren song sung, by Democrats, of
honesty, peace, plenty, and general pros
perity, have, since their ascendancy in
one branch of the National Legislature,
proved to be nothing but trucklings to
the confederates, chickering's amongst
themselves, and the majority in the
House of Representatives are to-day
without leader, without a policy, and
compelled to bow down to the arrogant
demands of the enemies of the Govern
ment. No relief from the Democracy
can be expected, and however bad the
Republicans are charged with being, the
acts of Democratic Congressman show
them to be infinitely worse than even
can be predicted of their opponents.
Nobody now seems to be willing to trust
them; indeed, they do not trust each
other. The only hope, then, for the
country is in the Republican party;
party whose watchword is honesty, and
which has the courage to enforce that
watchwoid in all places, high or low, in
the Cabinet, or in the humblest official
in the land.
Now, will this great party be true to
itself, true to tie country, true to the
best interests of mankind? IL SO, let
none but men of undoubted integrity be
brought to the front. Ifany member of
the party, any official has proved recre-
ant to his trust, false to his professions.
compel him to stand aside; take back
seat. The past record of the party is
one not to be ashamed Of The bright
est pages of history but record its bril-
liant achievements, and TO its ascend
ency we owe a united Government, a
peaceful nation, and a happy people.
Let us, then, cling to all that is good in
the history of the glorious party, and let
us correct the errors of the past, and by
its undying principles perpetuate to pos
terity all the blessings of free Govern
ment. Let us have the courage to carry
out, to the fullest extent, its teachings
We have nothing of good to hope from
the opposition; no reforms; no patriot
ism; no peace; no economy; no honesty

DIR SCHOOLS

Too little attention on the part of
those who are interested, is exhibited in
the welfare of our schools. Parents
seem to labor under the deIusion that
when they have elected Board of Di-
rectors, procured books, and sent their
children to school, that they have done
their whole duty in the matter And
the Board of Education, is also too apt to
act under the delusion that when they
have provided suitable buildings and
employed teachers, that they have done
their whole duty.
Parents have not done their duty
toward their children, towards the
schools, until they have by personal
visits, acquainted themselves with the
condition of the schools, have encour-
aged their children i'm their studies by
manifesting an interest in their progress.
We will venture the assertion that not
one in fifty of the patrons of the schools,
have paid a visit to them the past year.
Why this carelessness, why this neglect
of the interest of your children. Thisis
not your mode of procedure in any
other business. You would not employ
man to saw wood for you, without
giving the matter attention enough to
satisfy you that it was done correctly,
nor a woman to do washing for you,
unless you were satisfied by observation
that the washing would be well done.
Yet you will intrust all the future of
your child, the forming of first impress
ions, the foundation of character, TO
the hands of utter strangers, without
the least apparent concern for the re-
suits. This should not be so. Visit
your schools. make the acquaintance of
your teachers. Parents alone are not
to blame in this matter Members of
the Board of Education, those who have
been instructed with the care and con-
troll of schools, do not always perform
the responsible duties which they have
voluntarily assumed. As we before said
they are too apt to think their duties
ended, just where they have really begun
in earnest.
Enquire of the superintendent and of
the teachers, and, you viii perhaps be
surprised at the want of attention ex-
hibited by the Board. Visits few and
far between, some departments not
visited at all
No one should be willing to accept
the Office of members of School Board,
who is not willing to devote the time to
the schools, which their Importance
demands.
We are not finding fault with superin-
tendents or teachers, we are not charg-
ing that the schools are not conducted
as they shonld be, and that such pro.
gress as we have right to expect, is not
being made by the pupils. But how are
we, or the Board, or parents generally
30 know that all is right, unless We go
and see for ourselves. Parents also have
a duty TO perform in the selection of
members Of Board of Education. On
next Monday three such members are to
be elected. See to it that none but the
best men are selected.
THE Courier says that Foster was
