Mr.. EDITOR: Can you tell us Ehat has

tions Is the thing dead7 Have the school
trustees and teachers given up in despair Of
doing good? We hope not, and We ask
space to suggest that this organization DO
convened at an early day. There ere many
changes in the present law that is believed
would be beneficial to the citizens Of Andor.
son County. One is, the money collected
in each township should be expended in
that township, and many other changes are
thought to be Of equal importance to the
school system. How are you TO perfect
your school laws unless those who work in
it will consent to point out its defects, and
show the changes required to perfect it.
You have good members in the Legislature,
who are anxious to assist you, and that body
is Low in session; and you cannot expect
them to understand all your wantn unless
you help them. Then call your Convention
at an early day. Let the County School
Commissioner, the County Board OF Exam
liners and all the trustees and teachers meet
in Convention and consider the educational
interest Of the County. Does not this body,
representing the children of tho County,
constitute at once the tenderest and higheat
trust in the County, In not the education
Of she young the hope Of the country? Is
it not indispensable in republican govern
msnt, which must stand or fall upon the
intelligence Of her citizens. It will elevate
the County and assist the State; it will pro.
mote refined sentiment and better morals
it will promote the interest of tho church
and bsget charity, the highest virtue of all.
1t is work Of love-lst it 60 on. Let Mr..
Todd call together this Convention, end let
every ono in official position attend and
help In the work. The members Of the
Legislature and the people will thank, and
the children will grow up and pronounce
you blessed. NJ.

CoLFAx, La, Sept. Is, 1878.
In compliance with petition ad-
dressed to the President of the Police
Jury, signed by twelve citizens, free
holders of the parish of Grant, the
President called meeting of the
Police Jury, for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of quarantine.
Present-Jas. A. Daniels, President.
Messrs. NJ. n. Swafford, c. w. Fittz,
+. l.. Craig, j. w. Tison and Mat
thew Nugent, Jr.
MIR. Fittz presented the following
resolution, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, the yellow fever panic
has driven our sister parishes be-
You'd the verge of reason on the
quarantine question; and
WHEREAS, their Police Juries and
other parochial authorities have
gone into extremes to enforce what
they cal quarantine law, shutting
themselves up in their own parishes
and needlessly spending the money
they have control of. and, instead of
enforcing law and order, allowing
their citizens to resort to mob law
and violence in stopping steamboats,
in the river, simply to cater to the
whims OF few specializing individ-
uals; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we, the Police Jury
of the parish of Grant, will not CO.
operate with our sister parishes in
the adoption of extreme measures
of quarantine; that we need all the
revenues of our parish for other and
more important purposes and, fur
ther, that when mob law ceases and
the other parishes have recovered
their reason and. got over their
scare, We, the Police Jury of Grant,
will cheerfully cooperate with them
in enforcing a reasonable quarantine,
by having u health officer to travel
on the boats through our parish and
see that no infected person is OH
board Of such boat, and that said
boat discharge no freight but gro
ceries, and be allowed TO take the
produce of the country.

GENERAL GRANT IN 1880.

As the weak instnctivcly turn to the
strong for protection in time Of peril, and rs
nations place trust in trusted and expert
enCcd hands when the times demand Wig
OrOus administration, so the people of this
country turn now to General GRANT in this
period Of instability In governmental affairs
and threatened revolution. 1t Is true Pres
ident HAYES acted with cOmmcndable
prOmptncss in quclIing the riots of the SUM
mcr of l-77 and that he may do the same
under similar circumstances when the labor
troubles break out once more as they Ger
tuinly will this year. But it must never
thclcss be admitted that the assaults upOn
his official title and the partial ostrange-
ment of certain forces that served to secure
his election, have robbed him to some ex-
tent of the moral strength which would
otherwise attach to his mere occupancy of
the Presidency. No better illustration of
this can be found than is furnished by the
following extract from an interview with
THrRLOw WEED. Speaking of the Potter
inquiry and the spread of Communism the
interviewer asked Mr. WEED:

GRANT has written to his friends that eight
years OF army life and eight more in civil ad.
ministratOn constitute his share of public ser.

for his country and 1t would be an outrage to
put any more burdens upon him. Pittsburgh

When the war of the rebellion raised its
bloody hand against the integrity of the
Government General GRANT voluntarily
emerged from the walks of private life and
rendered his services to his country, and he
fought it through on that line from Fort
Donaldson to AppOmattOx. The people had
not had enough Of his services and they
burdcned him with the Presidency. After
eight years he left the country in compara.
tive peace, prosperity, and happiness. Four,
teen months have trnsprcd since he va.
Gated the Presidential chair, and we again
find the nation drifting into dangerous
waters. The people discover this, and they
turn their eye in search of II preserver. 1t

to look rs if the Democratic sense of pro-
priety is liable TO he outraged by placing
" more burdens upon him." twill be hard

HERE is history repeating itself again to
the shame and reprobation of the Southern
Democracy. When General GRANT, with
unexampled magnanimity, refused to ac-
ccpt the surrendered sword of ROBERT Z.
LEE at Appomattox, when he gave back to
the conquered rebel hosts their horses and
their personal property, and when he op-
posed the malignant hate"-as the rebels
still call it-of Secretary STANTON, and the
treason made-odiOus" policy OF President
JOHNSON, these men were profuse with
their professions of gratitude. But, as soon
as they returned to power in the coun-
try they had sought to destroy, they forgot
those professions, and joined in hue and
cry of opposition, SANDER and cruel enmity
toward their magnanimous conqucrOr.
When President HAYES lifted the mailed
hand of Federal power and tyranny"
from South Carolina and Louisiana, their
gratitude of expression was again bound
less. But the record shows that ninety
four of the ninety-sx Southern Democrats
in the House voted for the POTTER rcsolu-
tion to destroy the Administration.
