HON, ]. II. EUSTIS,

The extract from the Washington
Star in our special Of yesterday morn
ing, and the reported feeling in the Sen
ate, shows conclusively that the DEMO
Graf was right in putting the case on
the proviso OF the fifth article Of the
constitution OF the United States, which
requires that emo State, without its con-
sent, shall be deprived Of its equal suf-
frage in the Senate" The empty seat
of one Of louisiana Senators for three
years is reproach to the Republican
party so-called, They could not with
any show of title in him to the seat
from the people Of Louisiana, or with
out thoroughly disgracing themselves,
admit the ignorant and unprincipled
mulatto barber figuring in the political
orgies Of this State in the worst dens
and for the worst purposes Of Radical
ism; and they would not reject his alb
surd application and make room for the
performance on their part of q
plain constitutional duty. Now
it has come to this as q
pressing necessity of the situation that
the Republican Senate must admit
Pinchback to the privileges and dignity
Of their body and thus acknowledge,
that for three years, or under any view
Of the case, for one whole year, they
have kept State from equal suffrage in
the Senate against her consent, by post
poning or delaying proper examina-
ton Of the credentials OF the elected
Senator, emitting him to the place, or
they must decide that Louisiana has not
been denied equal suffrage" in the SEN
ate without her consent, because
Pinchback never came to the doors Of
the Chambers asking for admission with
Louisiana's consent. Mr.. Eustis GER
tainly presents himself with her con-
sent, consent manifested by vote Of
the entire Democratic and Conservative
party, itself a majority Of the people
and the representative Of the intelli-
gence, property and the wealth Of the
people, with three Republicans in the
Legislature, each one Of whom is influ-
entail and the most respectable men in
their party. --

which the people have been subjected.
On the day before yesterday, In refer
ring to the mass meeting recently heid
in Clinton, La, we expressed the opin-
ion that the Democratic and Conserva-
tive citizens of New Orleans should
manifest their sympathies for their
suffering brethren in East and West
Feliciana by public meeting equally
worthy Of their numbers and their party
principles.
In publishing the proceedings OF the
meeting to which we are now referring,
we cannot withhold similar suggestions
or similar sentiments.

The CROSSE TETE LEvEE. appeal.
The published proceedings Of the Legis-
lature in the New Orleans papers, other
than those officially given in the State
journal, give the impression that the
Crosse Tete memorial for special levee
district is simply for the purpose Of
protecting the little village of Rose
dale. The bayou country consists OF
the Bayous Fordoche, Maringouin and
Crosse Tete, with a frontage OF contig-
uous farms and plantations forty miles
long. This frontage was leveed in by
the owners Of the lands they protected,
and these private levees were sufficient
for that purpose, until, In order to save
the river coast levees, the great Pointe
Coupee levee was allowed to remain
open. Now about one-eighth of the
Mississippi river at high water is divert
ed from the regular channel and pours
through this opening against the levees
Of the bayou country which are weak
and badly damaged by the two success
sive sieges Of 1874 and rs.
Sixty thousand acres of cultivated
lands are threatened by the food now
pouring through Morganza, and four or
five thousand people after having ex-
pended all their spare labor and money
are looking for the prompt action OF the
Legislature upon their memorial for aid.
The Dom Pedro and centennial dis
cussions should give place to legislation
upon such home questions as the above
and we hope that, our neighbors will
not be allowed to again go under water
for want of help from the only source
from which they have right to expect
it. An appropriation alone not exceed
ing in amount the taxes paid by the
bayou people during the past two years
would amply answer.

In the State have taken position IN favor o
compulsory education. This is contrary to the
spirit and genius Of republican institutions. and
but another step In what seems to- be the pre-
vailing tendency OF the age, toward centraizd-
ton and absolutism.
The idea OF compulsory education
has been subject Of discussion for
many years, more especially since the
introduction of the infamous Recon-
struction Law. In our opinion the Leg
islature OF a State has no authority to
pass law SO pernicious to the general
welfare OF the people, and to the infinite
injury OF it's own Legislative body. 1t is
a law which the most civilized nations
on earth have considered absolutely
unnecessary. In England and France,
where education has been brought to
the highest possible standard, no such
law has ever existed, and never will.
The white people Of America are ready
enough to give their children an educa-
ton which will prepare them for the
battle Of life, and II the negroes, who
have every opportunity to educate their
children in the public schools, fail to do
so, we do not see that it Is necessary to
force q system OF education on them
to which they are absolutely
opposed. We cannot comprehend
how any able journal Of Mis-
sissippi can defend such a cause; a
cause which at once takes away the in
dependence Of republicanism, and SUBJ
stitutes in its place tantalizing spirit
Of despotism; a cause which takes away
from the people Of this country what
they most value-tO act in whatever
manner they please, and induces them to
feel that they are compelled to do that
which, under other circumstances, they
are ever ready to do, and which, when
thus compelled to do, they will certainly
rebel against, and clamor for the free
use Of their own judgment, as to whether
they will give their children an educa.
ton or not. The Examiner takes exactly
the correct point of view, and says, in
conclusion: 3 ee
What Is demanded by the people Is that every
facility for the requirement OF q common school
education consistent with the ability OF the State.

From Paris the other day came story,
half grotesque and half revolving,

then he engaged little boy, who, clad in
tights and sprangl,s, was to enact the
part OF a beast.tamer, but who, prior to

a cage with the cats, and instructed to
reduce them into subsection and teach

the barbarious promoter Of Liliputian
tiger exhibitions.
Scarcely, however, has the echo Of this
affair died away ere we hear Of two very
alarming accidents which have occurred
TO a pair Of wild-be1st tanners Of some
notoriety in France. At Harve the lion
king Bidel hats had a sufficiently narrow
escape from horrible death IL was

cage Of his wild beasts, bearing with him
a sheep, which, through the awe inspired
by his presence, was kept safe & om mo-

mates Of the den. On recent occasion
nc entered the lions den, and placed the
sheep on the back Of the lioness, feat
which he had often before accomplished
with perfect safety. No sooner, however,
had he done this than huge lion sprang
upon the unfortunate sheep burying its
teeth deep in its body. There was a
general cOrnmotion and panic among the
crowded audience. but the undaunted
Bidell stepped forward, and with a heavy
| bludgeon dealt Leo such tremendous
blow over the Jaws, that the beast, utter.

cowed, abandoned his bleeding victim,
and crouched humbly at his masters feet.
The sight and smell of the blood Of the
sheep were, however, too much for wild
beast nature to bear. The other deni-
zens of the cage began to howl in an om.

Monsieur Bidel, even as Mr.. VIM. Nye

his way back through the remaining
brutes, and rescued his wounded sheep
from the den.
