One week ago today the Evening
CAPITAL contained several editorials
running in this wise ELECT the Re
puhlican candidates tor members Of
the school board and there will be no
more rottenncss. etc, etc" In the
landslide Republican school board
was elected
Last evenings Capital charges the
new board with corruption and rotten
ness, and says the school board just
elected Is worse than the outgoing
board aud disgrace to the city.
Ye gods, this ought to cause the
people to think hard.
But the charges of the Capital are
too true. The new board has unlaw-
fully taken its seat and the first dash
out of the box attempts boodling
Rev Boggess is member of the
board
The new members of the school
board do not organize until the first
Monday in May, according to the
statutes, but despite this fact, the
new members assembled surreptitious-
ly at IL o'clock on Saturday night, and
voted to locate school house No.
near the home of Member George Mar.
tin This building had already been
located and the excavations made, al
a cost of $500. Whether any Doodle
was offered by Martin to his fellow
membcrs TO do this is not known.
The old board (the present one) met
last night, but as the newly elected
members had "lost" the records oi
their meeting, no action was taken.
The newly elected members of the
school board have thus violated the
law, shown their rottenness and In
competency and placed deeper stain
on the citys fair name
Such is the beginning OF the n ev
Republican administration.

had visited around the city with Marshal
Moreau, when the latter was there few
years before. and with the eye of tacti-
tian had remarked the most eligible
spots for defense in case the
city should ever be attacked. This
constitutes the only allpsion to Moreau
in connection with these events. He
gives some oil Jaoksons improvised aides
great credit for being able to convince the
general of the folly of attacking the Brit
ish, and hegtYes Jackson equal credit for
being willing to accept such wholesomeA d-
vice, but further on he detracts somewhat
from the credit he had accorded to Liv-
ingston, bysaying that he, Livingston,
had retired to the city on Jan. z, the day
priorto the battle, on pretense of violent
collie, which only left him next day, on
the announcement of Jaekson's complete
victory, ~
Nolte, on seeing his cotton put into the
defeuees, remarked to Livingston. that he
thought itsingular that he would take a
better grade of cotton from a vessel ready
to sail cotton worth loo per pound in
stead of gathering up a lower grade of
cotton which was abundant in the city,
and worth only &c. To this Livingston who
was ever ready with an answer, retorted
that il the cotton was his he knew no
man w6hid take greater pleasure in de-
Tending it. The anecdote was afterwards
fastened on Gen. jackson.
After the battle the British demanded
under flag of truce time for both armies
to bury. their dead Gen. jackson re-
sponded that he had no dead to bury, but
that>the. British should have day As
to the story of the pirates, it seems that at
the time some of their leaders were in
jail in New Orleans awaiting trial. They
were released, no doubt with the under
standing that their patriotic service at
that Juncture would purchase immunity
for past offences, but there were not more
than fifty of them. They manned a battery
and did their duty. There is much more
in Notes account of these events that
