On motion Of Mr.. Zacharie 1t was ordered
that the Secretary insert In the journal
statement only OF the nature and character
OF the reports submitted by the members OF
the Committee ON the Judiciary on House Dill
No 1903; the names OF tho members signing

Mr.. Stubbs, on behalf OF the Committee on
Public Education, submitted the following re-
port, which was received:
Rooms COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC EDUCATION.
New Orleans. January p7, 1879. !
To the Honorable President and Members of
the Senate:
Your Committee on Public Education, to
whom was referred Senate bill No. 81, having
carefully considered the same, respectfully
report:
That the appropriation asked for, and to
supply serious deficiency In the fund set
apart under the general law to pay the school
teachers in the city OF New Orleans. While
your committee cannot approve Of the action
Of the authorities who have made and con-
tinued contracts with teachers beyond their
power to pay, we do not think that the large,
useful and self-sacrificing class who compose
be permitted to suffer. AS they have been en-
ployed, and have performed the service re-
quired faithfully, they should be paid
We have been Informed that for this pur
pose the sum Of 100000, provided for In this
act, is larger than necessary, and that one
half of that sum will pay the obligations to
| the teachers.
In order that the teachers themselves may
secure the entire relief intended by The bill,
we recommend that the act be amended so as
| to secure the desired end. Without commit
ting ourselves to the principle involved In the
bill, that the apporiiOnment OF the public
school fund Of the State under the present
law Is unjust, we recommend the passage OF
| the bill, with the following amendments, re-
| ducing the appropriation one-half:
| In line q, section 2, strike out twenty" and
insert in lieu thereof the word stem"
In line 8, same section, strike out the words
Zone hundred" and insert In lieu thereof the
word Fifty"
And the following: after the word "treas-
ury'' at the end OF section 2, provided further,
that no part of the money herein appropri-
ated shall be paid out unless each teacher or
employee shall first have made oath In
| writing and attached same to his or her
warrant or certificate, that he or she is the
| cole owner of such warrant or certificate, and
that he or she has not parted with the owner
| ship or control thereof, and that the proceeds
thereof will be his or her sole property.
Very respectfully,
| For COmmittae

cotton Is shedding its fruits fearful

many of them will not have the
means of feeding their families dur

worse in southern Texas. In many
sections the water has failed and
the cattle beng too poor to drive
through the ruined country, are
left to die of thirst and hunger. In
many places wksGe the ponds or
tanks are dry, it is no unusual
thing to see cattle collect where
they have been accustomed to
drink, and with most distressing
believing paw the esrth. Herds of
horses go from place to place hunt

to see the distress of these poor
dumb brutes, that in many cases
die of thirs;. The Northern por-

so much, and some OF the counties
