THE SECOND BRIGADE.

The decision arrived at on Wednesday even
ing by the Washington Artillery to join the
State militia has brought again upon the tapis
the very proper question of forming second
brigade. Our State National Guard has within
the past two years received several valuable ac-
oessions Of efficient corps which have not yet
been brigaded. It Is now proposed to form a
second brigade composed OF Fenners Crescent
City Battalion. Washington Artillery. the Ger
man Battalion the Francs Tireurs d'Orleans
independent organizations who would like to
join.
This Is only hint thrown out for the mem
upon, but we think that something of the kind
should be done. II is important for the unity
Of our State National Guard that 1t should be
put in more compact form.

Gentlemen-The special committee appointed

are the present prospects OF continuing the

come due, have the honor to report:
Th h nanea s i tla has

cd no different features this year than It did In
| 1877 and 1878.
Tho revenue Of the schools being dependent
upon the collectors. OF State and city taxes. the
delinquency Ia their payment creates the an
the board. In 1877 the discharge Of the whole
corps Of teachers on the thirtioth Of June. and
the near election Of q new corps until the open
ton. enabled the board. with the assistance of
an extra appropriation by the Legislature. to
nearly cover the deficit
revenues principally by q reduction Of 40 per
cent on tho salaries allowed the teachers by tho
previous board On extra approximation Ct
nearly complete the cash payment OK tho rolls
for that year.
For 1879 the city administrators, after closely
estimating their probable receipts from ali
sources. placed Us on the budget for 5000, 200,
which amount will no doubt be realized and
received from. the city. under the percentage Of
taxes received, which was formerly credited to
the school fund
The distribution Of the current school fund
collected from the two mill tax by the State. Of
which the city OF New Orleans receives about
one fourth. Is OF course dependent upon the
prompt payment of that tax. And the actual
prospective deficiency results. as In former
years. from the delinquency on the part OF the
against by the city by estimating before making
the superintendent Of school funds.
Your committee ts not without hope that this
deficiency may In some way be overcome. and
the great necessity Of keeping M tho present
efficient organization Of the schools induces
them to recommend that they be continued III

Having KEEP, the expenditures strictly within
the revenue. the eventual payment OF all the OBJ
legations Of the board ts beyond question.

Mr.. Collins added that the $4,000 appro-
priated BY the Legislature for the expenses Of
1878 did not quite cover the deficiency. the De
cember accounts being unpaid. However, IL
the city's portion OF the State school fund was
collected. and the balance due III the same year
from the budget OF the city was received, the
board would have about $5S 900 to their credit.
Mr.. BARLEY explained That the deficiency
spoken Of for this year was only rs regards |
cash payments that the board had kept within !
all expenses.
