Certain ambitious and dissatisfied col
ored Republican politicians in Louisiana
are threatening to create serious trouble
in regard to the school system of that
State The Board of Education through
it, Chairman, has recommended the es-
Enlistment of separate schools for whites
and blacks, affording equal educational
facilities to both races, and in no man
ner discriminating against either. This
Just and reasonable recommendation
which we are assured will be carried out
to the letter, has given affront to the col
ored politicians aforesaid, and they have
waited upon Gov. Nichols with a pro
test demanding only one set of Cor mixed
schools for the children of the two
races. According to the New Orleans
Democrat, zone of the delegation de-
g clared that if the programme of the
q School Board Committee were car
81 ried out it would be a ''ire brand :;
Z" another affirmed that the establish
g ment of separate schools would be an
81 insult to the colored race. Antoine,
" the late Lieutenant Governor, thought
{" there should be more intercourse be-
" tween the races, and seemed to think il
proper to force it by mixed schools,
q and much was said ali around about
g constituted rights and pledges and
promises made by the Governor and
q the Democratic party" To all this
incendiary talk, Governor Nichols
calmly replied explaining the action of
the Board-affirming that the educa-
tional interests of both races should be
equally guarded-and advising those
who felt aggrieved to apply to the courts
and not TO the violent and revolutionary
processes intimated by the delegation.
We are gratifed at the decision of the
School Board and the discreet but firm
position taken by the Governor. The
question is not open for argument
There can be no mixed school system in
the Southern States. This is a settled.
question. La Mississippi it was consid-
cred and settled even under Republican
rule by the concurrence Of both races.
Early in the reorganization of the State
government an attempt was made by the
fanatical element of both races to estab-
fish a mixed school system, but it was
crushed in the bud. A separate school
system was adopted with satisfactory re
suits, and no one has had the temerity to
antagonize it with an amalgamation
plan. The white and colored people
have their separate Universities, High
Schools and Primary Schools, and the
colored people have expressed no desire
for a change which they know would be
tive of the public school system. The
whites pay the largest part of the tax by
which the system is maintained without
and as their purpose to keep
the schools separate, is infeXible, they
are gratified that their views on this sub
ect are cordially acquiesced in by the
;olored people The resistance Of the
negro leaders in Louisiana to the action
IF the School Board, will end in defeat, |
out it will serve the purpose of keeping
alive race animosities which demagogues
lesire above every other object.

The determination plan of Is7s.

The miscalled ''disbandment" move
ment of 1873 is out of place in this can
vass. 1t was not a DISARMAMENT move
ment either, but a plan of making no
nominations for that year, and leaving the
Radicals to fight it out, about which
Democrats entertained honest differences
Of opinion as they might do without com
hitting objectionable offence in the estima-
ton Of one another. A majority of promi
nent men, (and nearly all the press of the
State) favored the measure, and among
the rest, two (Gens. Lowry and Feather
tom who have been put forward by their
friends for the gubernatorial nomination,
but these two were no more responsible
for the step that was taken than any
others who thought it advisable and sup
ported it. Neither of them originated
the measure. Its original proposer was that
ardent Democrat and sagacious and hon
est and unfinching patriot, Judge 5. >.
Calhoon, Of Canton. He wrote the plan
and introduced it in a Madison county
meeting. where it was adopted. He took
it to the Meridian Convention where it was
discussed pro and con by himself and a
number of other Democrats, all sincere
in their convictions Of duty, and 1t was
concurred in by decided vote. 1t was
not original, however, with Judge Cal
boon. 1t was the plan of Virginia in
the earlier years Of reconstruction, when
she elected Walker, carpet Dagger, and
at the time a moderate Republican-and
it had been tried with success by Ten
nessee aud Missouri. 1t planted the
seeds of discord and irretrievable disaster
in the Republican party Of Mississippi
and was the forerunner of the signal vcto-
ry which WAS won by the united Democra-
cy in 1873. For ourselves we remember
these thingsnot forpurposes of controversy
or disagreement, or tests Of gubernatorial
aspirants in the present canvass, no mat
ter how they stood upon the question of
party policy at that time, but only as
history in the struggles of a cause deep
in the slough of despond, and surrounded
by difficulties which taxed the ingenuity
and tested the fortitude of all who had
resolved never to despair Of the common
wealth.

IN reference to the lynching of the
two men in Yazoo who were indicted for
burning the stable of Mr.. A. N. Smith,
with nine head of mules, a quantity of
provender, and other property, and
whose cases we're dismissed for gant of
sufficient evidence, the Herald-Democrat
says
The killing occurred between midnight
and day, the party numbering some fl fteen.
and having their faces masked with black
coverings. Whether these negroes were
guilty, rs many believe and aver, God and
their consciences alone know. Guilty or
not, no good citizen can do Otherw Use than
deprecate this resort to violence and thus tax
ing the law into ones own hands. The evil
of the thing frequently reaches out and con-
teammates other interests, as well as tending
to demoralize society and the law and order
of society. It is 8 dangerous resort even
when under the influence of some justifca-
ton and we deeply regret to have to record
this affair.

Hampton After the 'Th'eve..

Northern journals state that Gov.
Hampton's mission TO New York is two
fold. First, he goes 10 negotiate loan
among the capitalists for the payment of
interest on the State DEBT, and second, he
is interested IN securing the personal
presence of Ex-Governor Chamberlain in
South Carolina The special committee
appointed by the Legislature of that
State to investigate the rascalities of the
sinking fund and land commissions,
which operated extensively in State
funds, has driven a bargain with one of
the thieves, named Niles G. Parker. The
terms of the compact are that Parker
shall go free Of criminal prosecution if he
tells all he knows about the swindle. He
was State Treasurer when Scott was
Governor, Chamberlain Attorney Cen
eral and H. H. Kimpton Financial
Agent. These men were all more or less
implicated in the crooked purchase of
worthless swamp lands for $50, 900, and
this is what Chamberlain will be called
on to explain. Parker has submitted his
evidence, and Attorney General Conner
has consented to bring no criminal pro-
ceedings, and now it is all-important to
have Chamberlain on the ground to
stand catechism."
If it turns out that the martyr Cham
beriain is as grand thief as the rest of
the carpet bag crew in South Carolina, it
is probable the Northern Republic ms
will take his name out of the calendar of
saints, and discontinue their abuse Of
Mr. Hayes for refusing to keep him in
power with the army.

have printed on our first page a report of

RIGHTEOUSNESS. Only one of the resolu-
tons adopted by the Convention, the
report says, sis fit for publication" 1t
will be remembered that Boston is claimed
to be the radiating point Of intelligence
and civilization. 1t would not be right
to Judge her whole people by the open
day teachings of this band of rebrobates,
but it would be melting out Boston justice
if it were done. She judges an aceep-
tional case of murder, or of lynch law,

II is evident that Mr.. HAYES has bee,

II is evident that Mr.. Hayes has been
repudiated by his party. The Republi-
cans in Iowa Kissed a resolution endors-
ing his Administration and voted it out
of their State Convention. In the New
Hampshire Legislature he has no cham
pionship except among the Democrats !;
and in the Maine Legislature, the Re
publicans in the popular branch thereof,
by solid vote, killed a resolution en-
dorsing him. The Democrats alone, in
that body, expressed approval of his
Southern policy. We predicted that the
haste with which Southern Democrats
sounded his praise, would help to destroy
him with his OWL, party in the North,
where it was to be hoped his Southern
policy would have q following, and our
worst fears have been realized. The
outpouring Of Southern Democratic
thankfulness to Mr.. Hayes has been en-
entirely too profuse for the health of his
Administration in the Northern latitude.

A BREEZE was stirred in the New
Hampshire Legislature the other day. A
Democrat introduced a resolution en-
dorsing Mr.. Hayes Southern policy, and
lis order forbidding officeholders from
running partisan machinery-and pro
posed to put it on its passage. The Re-
publicans opposed the motion, and the
resolution was referred to a committee on
astrict party vote. Mr. Hayes friends are
not backing him; but the Democrats with
characteristic fairness are willing to en-
dorse what is right, even in a Republican

trated in American politics.

IT would seem that the question of la

lawlessness that develops itself in the
North as Gen. Woodford would have US
believe; nor the one hundredth part of

the burning of the Convent at Boston,;
nor the mobs against the Irish in sundry

race, just commenced by Judge Hilton,

In reference to the Louisiana appoint
ments, the n. o. Democrat complains
that President Hayes persists in appoint
ing to important Federsl trusts the very
men who projected and attempted to ex-
ecute the plot to defraud Gov. Nichols
of his rights. He "seems (says the
Democrat to be Indifferent to the great
danger of intrusting important Offices to
men who have proved faithless, fraudu-
lent and dishonest to the people, as if
such appointees could ever be trusted in
any public station, or indeed in any re-
lation, private or public.
