appointed in Cincinnati for That
purpose, the first is strikingly APP
plicable to other towns az well~as

be no exemptions of prosperous and
intelligent citizens from jury trials
in capital cases, such as have been
secured by the contribution Of slD

and press Of Cincinnati recognize
the fact that no reform in erilninal
trials can be guaranteed, and that
there is no possibility Of furnishing
criminals and putting down crimes,
unless good juries can be secured ! [
and that this is impossible if the
better class of citizens are exempted
from this duty.
There are many other wise rec.

Our esteemed contemporary the
States, congratnlates the teachers and
aqperintenaent.of Now Orleans upon
the excellent condition Of the public
schools in that city, and says they
have been kept abreast with theibsst.''
And we do not see any reason why
New Orleans shonld not have good
schools, when1the pay Of her teachers
is sufficient 70 satisfy the teachers and
At the same time fatten the money
broker
We oftho country cariit.say as much.
s0ur pnblic schools are not sHch as
they should be, and never can be IS
long as New Orleans is allowed free
nse Of our State treasury. Our poor
childreniin the country have no school
honses and are allowed, only El41 cents
per capita per annum for their educa-
ton.
What would be said of our school
boards were we to 90 on and hire
teachers, discount their warrants, and
then 90 into the Legislature for APP
preparations to pay the warrants at
par Indeed, VIC feel an unfairness
somewhere.
We arc eternally being approached
with the charge that we pay made
qu'lte taxes, because our property is
not sufficiently assessed, as if lands in
the country should be valued in the
same proportion rs to area, as prop
erty in New Orleans.
We are told thatthe appropriations
this session, exceed the States rev
enues by atleast ssoO,o0O--but New
Orleans has her school bills paid, all
the same, and our schools have gottto
close.
For heavens sake, when will our
city people begin to trealize that there
are Others in Louisiana besides them
selyes2 We want orr city children
schooled, and do not begrndge the
necessary money to do it with but at
the same time, we of.the interior want
a fair show for the same purpose.
