THE ACT OF 1857.

The New Orleans Times OF yesterday seems
to be laboring under singular misapprehen-
sion Of the facts In regard to It's construction
OF certain acts with reference to the manage
ment OF the school funds of this State The
DEMOCRAT, in the whole course OF its brief
though eventful career" has rarely ever made
itself SO conspicuous for such complete igno-
rance of the facts in the political history of
this State as that manifested In the singu-
larry vindictive attack made by the Times
upon Legislature which, expiring twenty
years ago, left a clean record behind 1t.
The Times says:
the year 1857 when the Legislature passed an
act authorizing the State to borrow the money
belonging to the fund and to issue instead
thereof the bonds of the State bearing interest.
This was a disreputable and monstrous per-
Torrance in itself-as much SO as II a guardian
OF some minor heir were TO take the money
note. Such an act would be universally con-
demned by honest men. Such. however. was
the act committed By the state Of Louisiana IN
1872 did-iI the infamous act si-Was to perfect
the work inaugurated dozen years previous.
By that act the Legislature authorized the State
to sell at public auction the State bonds issued
Ia lieu Of the appropriated school fund and to
turn over the proceeds to the general fund to be
consumed IN the multifariouS Jobs with which
tina. era reeked.
How outrageously false and misconceived is
this reference to the action OF the Legislature
Of 1857, will be fully exposed by reference to
the act OF Congress, providing for the appli-
cation OF the fund derived from the sale OF
tne public lands donated to the State for edu-
cahonai purposes.

The fact that Georgia can float per cent
bond while no other State does is attracting
very general attention throughout the coun-
try. An effort is to be made by number Of
other States to secure loan at the same In
terest rate. Georgia's success was largely due
to the fact that the bonds were made 50 small
that they would be taken up by the mass OF
the people. A similar experiment In Louisi-
ana would, we are confident, yield precisely
similar results. This Is matter that cannot
be too seriously considered by the Conven-
tion. The more 1t is considered the more GER
tain is Ii to favorably impress the delegates.
