THE GRANT ROOM.

The PsDusylyania Republican con-
vsntion met q Harrisburg on the
4tif inst, aud ctoss tlelrgntcs to the
national convention which will assem-
Die at Chicago, June IL. The dele
Cation was instructed to support Grant
fOl Presidential nominee and vote us
a unit upon all questions before the
convention. Tie New York Repub-
licans hold their State convention on
the 25tll Of this mouth, aud it is al
most u fOregone conclusions that Il
Grant delegation will also he chosen
by that body. With New York and
Pennsylvania in the van Of the Grant
column, it may lie expected that many
Of the smaller States will fall into line
III quick successiOD. The Grant boom
eItainly has the bulge" OH all other
booms ut this stage Of the game.
The Republican members Of the
Louisiana General Assembly sent
telegram to Senator Don Cameron Of
Pennsylvania, congratulatiDg him up
Oh the redemption Vi Ills promise that
!; Grant delegation should be chosen
from his State. just Low this action
is regarded by the ShermaDites Of the
New Orleans Custom House, who wear
Grant colors to curry favor with their

marks that "one of the matters most

admirable report, for 1879, Of Hon.
VIM. Q. r gers, Superintendent of the
public schools of New Orleans. Mr..
Rogers gives a concise yet exhaustive
review of the progress and condition
OF the school work under his super.
vision, and the showing is eminently
satisfactory in all respects save two !:
l. The revenues available for the
maintenance Of the schools were mad
equate, leaving the Board of Direc
tors without the means to pay tie
salaries of their teachers for the last
four months of the year; 2. A marked
decrease in the number of pupils at
tending the colored schools, owing
mainly to the children being required
to remain at home and assist their
parents in household or other work.

BULLDozIHg IN n1sREpuTf

| Can II 51e possible that We have
reached the turning point 10 the long
series Of outfages perpetrated in tlis
State by blOodthirsty bulldozeis, and
that henceforth this class Of criminals
are to be placed on par with other
murderers and outlaws and their
crimes made equally odious I This
query is suggested by the reports we
read in the Baton Rouge papers OF
public meetings being held and activ-
ity being displayed By the officers Of
the law to uDiDask aud punish the
bnlldozers who have recently resumed
operations in that region. It is re-
corded that two nen who engaged in
the erstwLile patriotic occupation Of
burning the cabins Of Negroes and
warning the inmates to leave the par
isl' under pain Of death, have actually
been arrested aud remanded to the
Baton Rouge prison, without benefit
Of bail, to await trial before the Dis
trict Court.
1t remains to be seen WHISTLER the
righteous work Of visiting retributisn
upon this lawless class has been in
augurated soon enough and will be
prosecuted with sufficient vigor to
assure protection to The colored peo-
pie aud check the tide Of emigration
that is rapidly draining the Baton
Rouge country of an invaluable ell
ement Of its population.
Hon. Robt. NJ. Lusller, ex-Superin-
tendent Of Public Education, has our
thaDks for II copy Of his last annual
report to the General Assembly, an
exhaustive aud admirable document
that furnishes additional evidence of
the fitness of Mr.. Lusher to OCCUPY
the position which he has recently re.
linQuislled to Mr.. Fay. The more im-
portant Of Mr.. Lusller's references to
the educational work of 1879 aud suq-
gestions for the future are thus briefly
by the Ope!ousas Courier:
As a general thing, the schools nave
been better attended, and with more sat |
isfactory results than for many years
past. Mr.. Lusher deplores the insuffi-
cheney Of school funds provided for I'M
der the new constitution, and it's restric- |
lions upon the maintenance of liberal |
and efficient system Of education. Among
his many valuable suggestions to the |
present Legislature, he recommends the
Of competent school inspect
,rs throughout the various parishes;
stating that those parishes that employed
lead teachers or inspectors made a far
better exhibit of efficient management
md progressive improvement than those
which failed to do so. And in order to
provide sufficient salary for competent
in the various parishes,
le recommends that the Legislature as
ign the triple office of School Treasurer,
Secretary and Superintendent to one in
lividual, he giving q sufficient bond for
he faithful discharge of his several du-
los.

Last summer when the question was in
every ones mind whether the Crescent
City was again to be afflicted With yell
low fever, the whole country was star
tied by the announcement that among
its half dozen or more victims were first
the lovely young wife Of the brave Con-
tolerate General, j. B. HOOP, followed
by the death Of the General himself,
leaving ten little babes to tho cold mer-
cies of the world. The women Of the
South and North alike arose to this APP
peal to their charity and subscription
list was opened, but with no great result
comparatively. The late warrior. was
on the point of publishing his Narrative
Of Personal Experiences in the United
States and the Confederate States Arm
les. The book has just been published
by his comrade, General G. 7. Beaure-
gard, the entire proceeds going to the
sole use and benefit of "The Hood Or
phan Memorial Fund.- as is set forth in
another column.

where he remained several weeks,

felt confident there was some " She

opinion is now confirmed by the in
telligence that revenue officers have
discovered several Illicit distilleries
in the vicinity where the crafty editor
was wont to pursue the festive chip
munk and angle for the confding cat
tish-on paper.

GUQAR TARIFF.

In order to cOunteruct aud defeat
| il possible, the efforts Of the Northern
| sugar refiEers to secure reduction ol
the existing tariff on foreign sugars
imported tn this country, the Louisi-
ana Sugar Planters Association sent d
committee to Washington to repre-
sent the Interests of this State in
volved il the controversy. This COM
mittee is composed Of Messls. Duncai,
+. keDner, John Dymond, John s.
Wallis, Thos. M. Cage aud Taylor
Beattie, all extensively engaged in
cane culture aud thoroughly CONVEX
saut with the details of the impur-
tant subject with which they are re-
CURED to deal.
The committee is at the national
capital actively engaged in the per-
Torrance Of its duties, and there is
much reason to anticipate the success
of its mission. The vital bearing Of
the sugar tariff upon the welfare Of
Louisiana and her people has been
forcibly depicted before the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
OF representatives, and our members
of Congress, acting in concert with
the eminent representatives Of tho
Sugar Planters Association, will no
doubt exert their utmost energy and
Influence to prevent any revision Of
the tariff hurttul to the producers of
sugars.
Such revision would be an act of
grossest injustice on the part Of Con-
gress--an oppressive discrimination
against our own people in favor Of
aud blow at an impor-
tant American industry that even now
Tests upon basis none too firm and
is deserving of greater protection
rather than a diminution Of that now
accorded. - --s.. -

The extent to which the belief in
Voudooisln prevails among the col
ored people Of this part of the coun-
try would scarcely be credited by
those who have had 10 opportunity
for practical observation. Nearly all
these people attend church aud pro-
fess faith in the doctrines of Chris
tianity, hut the precepts of religion,
though decidedly opposed to such au
idea, seem to have no effect upon
the absurd conviction 50 many Of them
entertain that certain persons gen
orally some old "Guinea nigger' or
mOrose man or woman associating
but little with their neighbols-are
endowed with the power Of intlicting
injury upon those whom they dislike,
by means of the nominations aud Sc
cret influences pertaining to astrolo-
Ky, witchcraft and such tumfoOlery.
An illustration Of the widespread
prevalence Of this foolish belief is fur
nisl'ed by the following card, which
appeared in a recent issue Of the
Morgan City Free Press:
A CARD.
To the public:
On Tuesday last I was sent by the
Mount Zion Church of N. O., to Franklin
for the purpose Of ascertaining if posi-
bic the causes which led to the mental
arrangement Of Rev. J. Hayward. After
dlllgent search discovered that he was
a victim of Voudou practices, and in the
presence ofseveral citizens of Franklin
removed from the ground fronting the
church, OF which he was pastor, pack
age containing human bones, curious
ly knotted string, hair, silver money, a
sock and several other articles. l feel
certain that the Rev. gentleman will
now recover. DIR. X. MCKAY,
AstrOloger Of the 10Th century.
Rev. James Hay ward was ut one
time pastor Of the st. Peter M. e.
Church at Donaldsonville, and he
has many friends here who would be
glad to hear of his restoration to rea-
son. Should this fortunately trans
pire, however, the connection be-
tween that circumstance and the ex-
cavations accomplished by the won
derfui astrologer of the current CEN
tury will be too remote to be dis
cerneo in the light of reason, Chris
tiapity and enlightenment.
