The lIiilin0 Rerte,r.


The Northwestern Miller furnishes the
following review of the -four production
in Minneapolis the past week:
The situation on the platform is very
much the same as it was last week. The
mills have fair head of water and are
using it TO the greatest advantage. Some
run considerably short of power once in a
while, but on the whole they all get along
very well. The production remains about
stationary, the oatput being not far from
1850 barrels per day, the same as week
ago. The -four market rules dull, though
in some respects a greater frmness is
shown.
Our receipts and shipments we're as fol-
lows for the week ending October 81:
Rs'eived. SHIPPED.
Wheat, bus. .........56T 100 $500
Flour, Observation-Disclosures 400 49,, 900
LAST WEEK.
Flour, bbls ............. 1915 114,iSS
Wheat, bus. .........5 SAG 1900
Wheat receipts continue comparatively
light, barely equslling the amount used
by the mills. The stock in store in the
elevators (including The transfer) and
mills of the city on Tuesday was nearly
the same as or the previous week, being
about $4,000 bushels. at St. Paul
there we're pa, 0G0 bushels against 235,000
bushels last week and at Duluth 100000
bushels, against ICES. 700 bushels the pre-
vioaS week.

ELOPING WITH AN OFFICE.

Appropos of the removal of the
Parish seat of Madison, from Delta to
Tallulah, the Journal relates the fol-
lowing touching the strategic move
ments of the former Duke of Rattle
snake Ridge,-our friend, Henry
Holmes
Last Tuesday the Clerks Office was
under full Roadway at this place. Wed.
| nesday, morning found its contents at
Tallulah. The police Jury met Tues
day and made some arrangement as to
the removal of the records. Madam
Rumor had it, that this removal was
to be enjoined, but before the most
'slightning" lawyer could have pre-
pared an injunction and have it served,
the records had started for their future
home at TalluIah. So rapidly, noise
lessly and expeditiously was this done,
that none knew it until late next
morning. A box car had been loaded
early Wednesday morning during the
"wee hours'', and before Delta had
walked up from her drowsiness the
curtain had fallen on the closing act of
her reign as the Capital of the Parish,
and Tallulah was stepping in as her
successor.
The Journal also furnishes this item
relative to the future abode of two
former citizens of Monroe:
Our little town will loose several
families by the removal of the Parish
seat. Capt. II. B. Holmes and family
are to leave next Monday; and we also
learn Judge Slack designs moving so
soon as he can secure home at the
new headquarters of the parish.

VALUlNG THE RIGHT OF WAY.

In Natchitoches parish several owners
of lands refused the right OF way to the
New Orleans Pacific railroad, and like
wise declined to accept the terms
offered for the right by the railroad
company. Suits have been instituted
by the company to have the lands ex-
propriated, and the trials, not yet de-
termined, have attracted much at
tention.
A correspondent of the Shreveport
Times says: The trial has demon.
strated the hollowness of the present
assessment system, as the claimed
value OF the lands used by the railroad.
is tremendously in excess of the esti.
mated value of the assessment rolls. IT
makes vast difference whose OK is
gored, when it comes to damages
claimed, instead of values for taxation.
The jury trying the first of the cases is
composed of picked and intelligent
| citizens, all landholders. One of them.
and prominent citizen, very Justly
| claims that the land in controversy
should be valued in proportion to the
amount given in on the assessment
roll. Such n method certainly works
no injustice to the land owner who
gives to the State his estimate of the
price of land which is to be taxed for
the purpose Of lubricating the wheels
Of government.
This jurors standard of value is not
by any means fair one, nor can there
be, in fact, any fixed standard in such
cases. In some cases, plantation
would be benefited by a railroad, and
hence there would be no value to
assess while in others the damages by
excavations, bitches and location of the
railroad line would result in disfisurinp
and disarranging the entire place,
especially if it should be small one.
Besides, it is we'll known that no
planter values his lands, in assessing,
| without reference to the general average
of values by other planters, nor with
! reference to their value as they are,
compared to what it would be when
split to pieces and his labor increased
and plans disarranged by railroad
running through the center Of his
plantation. In cases like this last. the
right Of way amounts TO considerably
more than the value of one hundred feet

TIMBER LANDS.

An Arkansas exchange is informed
that rich capitalist has bought sc, OOO
acres of land in the county of Bradley,
and that company Of Scotch capitalists
have bought in the counties near the
Mississippi river over two hundred
thousand acres for the timber.
In Il recent issue of the Alexandria
Express it is stated that Mr.. r. w.
Bringhurst had been engaged during
the past three weeks in surveying the
large body of timber land in Catahoula
and Winn parishes which was pur.
chased some time ago by the Messrs.
Pack, of Michigan; but that he would
not be able to finish the survey earlier
than the Goth instant.
We find also that heavy outlay of
capital in timbcred lands, saw mills.
&c, has been made in Caicasicu and
Cameron parishes. The timber sought.
we presume, is pine, cypress, white
oak, walnut and ash. The demand. II
will be seen, is heavy and general, and,
besides, has Just fairly commenced.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres of land in this State, the present
scarcity of timber and the demand
considered, where the trees are worth
twice the value of the land. This Is
especially true of immense bodies of
lands in Catahouia, Grant, Caldwell
ana VIM parishes, where the long,
leaf pine grows in abundance and to its
greatest perfection. The survey of the
Pine Bluff and Alexandria railroad
runs longitudinally through this
magn ificent belt of timhereu country.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYTSEII.

[Extract from ''Telesraph," April 10, lsSl.l
u :: x ::
The trouble lies in the poverty Of the
people to great extent, but much
more, as we have had occasion to hint
before, in that false system which de-
! mands of an Impoverished people an
annual tax for the support of public
schools, as in this State, where one
man has to educate not only his own
children, but those of others, and is
required, under the practical operations
of the law, to send to sorry teachers, or
none at all. The blame is not, either,
with the guardians of the law. A law
is necessarily imperfect when based
upon false premises. The lawmakers
have attempted to educate our children
in a way which is proven impratica-
bic. There is the glare of a public school
system-something for journalists and
stump-speakers to write and speak
lengthily about-but there is lacking, in
more then ten years. trial, any solid
advancement; and the people OF the
State,-those who do not think as we'll
as those who do,-compIain of the fail
ure of the experiment. The ignorant
negro, no less than his white superior.
appears to be dissatisfied, except that
he is singularly proud to see his child
pack an arm full of books to school, as
to the contents Of which both are su-
premely and happily ignorant. There
is waste of energy, means and
thought in our Public School system.
1t is no: adapted to the real conditions
of the peoples of Louisiana, and no
amount of legislative tinkering can
make it success. 1t operates to the
injury of the blacks, in UNFOLDING
them in a course of conduct and ways
Of thinking ruinous to their de
velopment, and it leaves the white
people to accept any offer of teaching,
or teachers, made, and forces them, as
we'll as the teachers, to depend on the
uncertainties and evils incident to all
public undertakings, where Individual
enterprise and effort would effect inf
nitely more.
There is not an instructor in the
State, we dare say, who will not agree
with US that the Public School system
of this State is humbug, and in that
dollhouse of false teaching the troubles
existing all have their fruitful source.
Practically, We have in Louisiana no
schools, and good teachers shun the
State as il it We're afflicted with tho
Ieprosy. People from other States read
OF our public schools, but avoid State
where education is q mere matter of
politics. a relic Of Republican harbur-
ism. The laws, and the notions upon
which tho laws are prcdiratcd, s!,oulu

Ambrose Lecolnpte, one of the oldest
citizens of Natchitoches parish, died
few days ago. Commenting on his
death, the Shreveport Times says:
Mr.. Lecompte before the war had
quite pcnchant for fine horses, and
more from taste than profit, bred and
ran race horses. Like the late Col.
jeff Wells, he ran his horses for the
purses, but seldom, if ever, bet on
them. The colt Lecompte, owned by
Wells, and who ran the famous race
over the Metairie course against Lex
ington, was named in compliment to
the gentleman turfman. Although
Mr.. Lecompte lost largely by the war,
he was fortunately out of debt and re.
tanned q competency.

RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.

A very deep interest mas been 1elt
for some time, in this end of the State,
in the matter of the final disposition of
lands granted in aid of building rail.
roads !; and for this reason we give
place, on our first page, to two letters
from Representative Blanchard, of the
Red river district, in answer to in
qu1ries propounded to him concerning
lands of this character and withheld
from market on that account. 1t is
unnecessary to give an abstract Of these
letters, as they are sufficiently brief
and pointed. Their purport seems to be
that the railroads will eventually Sc
cure patents to the lands in question,
and that settlers will have to negotiate
with the railway companies for titles,
with the prospect Of a cheaper rate, by
so cents per acre, than the Government
price. In fact, since Mr.. Blanchard
wrote, the New Orleans Pacific has
been adjudged by Secretary Teller the
ownership of the lands originally
granted to the Backbone railroad, since
transferred to the former road. Con.
corning this grant, the Shreveport
Standard holds the following very de-
cidcd opinion
Weregard this action of the secretary
as in derogation of the rights of settlers
and one that should never have been
exercised. This grant, if we under
stand the matter correctly, was oriei-
nally made to a road which was never
built, and for that reason, by the terms
of the grant, became forfeited and
should have been so declared and the
lands embraced in it thrown open to
settlers upon the same terms as other
public lands. But this bogus road.
for q consideration almost nominal.
transferred the grant to the New Or
leans Pacific and it now appears that
tho interior department is about to is
sue to it tho patents for these lands.
Some sort Of an agreement was entered
into by tho New Orleans Pacific road.
in case the transfer was confirmed, to
make titles to actual settlers on these
lands on payment of 50 per acre, the
payments to be made part in cast, and
the balance in instaIlments. Will
this agreement be carried out? We
shall see. We regard the action of the
interior department in the premises rs
an outrage upon the right of settlers.
especially so when the matter was
under investigation by the last
congress. There will be emusic in the
air" over this action of the honorable
secretary, and our representatives in
congress will be called upon for more
satisfactory explanations on the subject
than have yet been given.
Presumably, the lands originally set
aside for tho Nicksburg & Shreveport
railroad, but not yet pate nted, will
follow the destiny of the lands Sc
cured by the New Orleans Pacific, Cthe
grantees being changed,) the claim in
the one case not being superior to that
in the other. At any rate, Mr.. Blanch-
ards letters are the best advice wc
have at present, and, as will be seen
III tho light of events accomplished, he
was not writing without his reck oninr.
Patiently, we shall await further de.
vclopments.

The Public Schools

[St. Martin Observer, March, lSs31
"A shortage of funds, nCUessitatcd the
closing of the public schools, through
out the parish for this year, after a
short session of five months. At the
time Of closing (last weekly there were
ten schools in operation, of which six
were for the whites and four for the
colored. The attendance during this
term demonstrated clearly the interest
taken in this benevolent institution.
Out Of an actual enrolment, in the
white schools, of Ill scholars, for the
month Of January, we find an average
attendance of only % scholars; for the
same month, the enrollement, in all
the cOlOred schools was 1874 scholars
with an average attendance of 81.
Obviously, from the above, one would
be led to believe that the colOrcd ele-
ment manifested more interest in cuu-
cation, but when the fact of tho
existence of several white schools in
the first and fourth wards is taken it,
consideration it tends to form a difJe
rent conclusion. But any way, q pain
full lack OF interest is shown by both
races. We believe, there are about
$500 children of scholastic age in this
parish about one-third only attends
school, consequently the ranks of illitc.
racy are enlarged to much greater pro-
portions than there is any excuse for.
An unfortunate fallacy is the idea Of
some in thinking, that, tor the amount
of poll tax paid by them, the State
should educate their children. This
wrong impression, tends to prevent
the contributing of any aid to proloug
the sessions. With the amount at
their disposal, the Directors are doing
as much as can be expected; now let
the parents furnish some aid. Will
they do it?
The indifference shown amounts
simply to this they whites don't care
