The object of the meeInga was one which ap pealed to the sympathies and the Interests o all olasses of oitienes, and the result was, a stated above. a gathering such as bas never be tore come together In the Crescent Olty since I has bern a oflty The attendance was not only larg--every sea in the spsoious hall being filled-but it em braced white and colored ealtlnea, men. womem and oblldren, and the attention with whlch the remarks of the several speakers were received and the applause which greeted them, mani. tested that each and every one prewent had made the cause of the teachers of the publlc schools their own, and that the nature of the threatened calamity-the suspension of the public schools-was fully realised and appre elated. The meeting was called to order by Prof. J. F. Seaman, who called B. T. Walsh. Esq., to the chair. The list of Vice Presidents was then read ra follows: vita Pasranirrs. Hon. L A. Wit1- H n. J. I.

Crouch; AAssistnt Score tary, Henry Dufliho. After a few remarks. In which the object of the meeting was stated, Mr. Waelh Introduced nON. JOHN M'INlliu as the first speaker. The speaker understood from those conver sant with the public school system of the Bstate and city that It is in imminent danger of total destruction. It was an appalllng deelaratlon but it had been said In the reports of those who pre side over the destinies of the publle schools. that unless there be immedlatel remedial legis lation they were in danger of being dissolved. And for what? Because of the Inability of the Btate and city to comply with their contracts.. It was for the purpose of petitioning the Leais lature and respectfully asking them to remedy the great evil under which the system labored that the meetina had been called, and the large u'tenoe asembled. The inability of the Stats to pay its bonded Interest, was a calamity bt it t was not hbaf as deplorable a one as the inabl!ty of thelState and elty to maintain its public schools. He was not one or those who believed that the evils com planed of (most suooinetly set forth in the re ports of Superintendents Luhernd Rogers) cannot be remedled by the Lislature. All that was necessary was to go abot it in the right way; appoint proprioate commbittees. thoroughly acunted with the subject, present their ea. nd ,hli wod for it. if the combined wisdom o the tt oold devie a remedy re le( woue be acorded. The uontry members o the elature would join with the city members n ivtnug it. There might be some diversity of opinioa at the outset as to the pro rats, but, his word for it. in the end the differ. enees ould be settled, and the relief so much esired will be accorded. He believed that when the country members were made to understand that the city pald two-thirds of the entire no cospe for tuner they would readl y agree to give to te clityr us t proportion. ,e advised the appointment of intelligent gentlemen,thoroughly conversant with the sub ect. and he guaranteed that the Legislature ould beer them rwpectfully and attentively. anl the relief would be given. No one could plead lanoranro of the fact that the school teachers had not been paid since A.uust, and had actually been compelled to pledge t heir time for the means of subslstance, and this in the face of the fact that the contract with the teachers provided a for promvt and full payment of salaries. He did not blame the officers of either the si ate or city, for they ,ad d d e the best they could und r the lawns but the laws must be changed, and he believed that if the proper representations were made the Legislature would properly amend thern. Panl re ~ next spoke: I have. s.ld he. been requested by the tecohers to represent them on this occasion. I would a olfiase. on the plea of lack of preparation. did I not think that everyone who feels for the eahobers should come forward and give his ex preeslons with the utmost Intenslty. The time •as come for prompt and immediate action. The speaker, after thanking those pre-ent for their promptness in answering the call of the teachers in such numbers, said that the presence of so many on the occasion showed that the teachers' fidelity, patience and zeal had bean appreciated. Unless the Legislature sos It to cometoour relief, the people will demand what is right, and insist upon it and the people Sust rltate this questiun until a solution Is reached. The public schools were once the pride of New Orleans, and many of the most Intluentlal citizens have been educated therein. if the cost of educating a man is compared with the in creased value of his labor. physical and men al. then no State can educate its youth. However. this is not true, and Louisiana can educate her children. Louisiana is not too poor to have an eflolent educational system. As the citizen is. so is the State. It has been believed that the education of children was a necessity for legislation, and an Imperative duty should urge the framing of an ~feent and lastin system of education. L M. HUDSON. i5Q. The speaker felt satisfied that those present had not come through any idle curiosityr. but through the deepest Interest in the public schools and sympathy for the teachers. DeeD as was the sympathy for the teaohers, as much as their hardships were felt still there was a deeper sympathy felt for the youth of the State of Louisiana. He thought that if the people were strong enough to wrest the onstrol of the schools from the hands of those who un dertook to destroy them by insisting on their belne mixed, the people were strong enough to re-establish the system on its old firm founda tion. He hoped that relief could be had from the Legislature, but therewould be nocertainty of it until the entire Statebecame interested in the m tter; then the jealousies of the country members would no longer stand In the war. His hope now, however, was in another direc tion. He relied on the people of New Orleans; if they would unite and rise up In their strength th could secure the desired re let. or if the Legslature refused itit cou d be made to understand that the people rule this State. 0ON. T. J. E1M)RS wse next introduced. He said: I would not have been here to-night except that I desire to manifest my sympathy in the ause of education. The difficulty is not the indispositon of the people to educate their shlldren-not that it is the duty of the State to see to the education of their youth. The real dificulty Is that there is in law no means to rovide adequately for education. I do not lame the Legslature. If we want moneyr to aducate our children we must pay for it ourselves. It is nonsense to ask the country people to give up their proportion of the ehool tax. No convention will take that away lV. themi. We must take are of ourselves. Do you suppose that the people in the backwoods who Day a levee tax will dgive un the tax thnt Is levied specially for the educaton o their cildrse? The lare ne gro parishes will never voW te give upthr t ta whue< the sieta f,,te d of .2the-r Iilehtpaitesthi~ iw rulSMm.eln onroeas ýp0 rof our ýpre ly from other tnit r w e ge s z 1 - su o O ea hnt tpmet eo te to upport the shooils now where willthe amount ctom Ittm to ii the defloleny? The atiortlonment of soheo funds amounts to about 29o,wo. We ~xpend $eo,o00o to the schools, d whea only n.aeoo is availabl there wil be eenr the system a selay in the ymet o salaries there will also nseeesrily be dilapidated school-houses. Our expenditures will be inoreanlo by reason of the Increased attendance. There has been more economy in the management 'f pubilI school sine the Nicholls administration than for an period n the past On the first o January fast we had only t*on in the lty treasury to py the expenditures for January. Whose fault was t? Not to the school board, which has been almost niftgardly, it may be said. In outting down Ilarie and expenses. The salaries for October. Novemberand Derem ber have not been paid. and the school teach.rs are starving. You come here to-night to know whr that is. Tht only remedy Is, that a sufafIient amount be ascertained to supnort an economical ey. tem of education. and that constitutional enactment should equre the ley of a spe a tax for the special sustenance of the nubile schools. Every reditor of the city is paild, and we have to wait for the school tax levied on per sonal property in the State, whlah is not col lected half the time. The truth Is that, so far as the general ad ministration le conorned, we are In a state of bankruptcy. The only remedy is to have the new conventlon order the levy of a special tax in NewOr Orleans for the hools of NewOrleans. The only practlcal and feasible object to effect a rermanent good, so that hereafter we shall not be knocking at the doors of the City Coun oil to ask for what is justly due us. Is to coerce them in the courts to give us that amount. IJ say that the opl possible object is to get white and black, oldan young, Demo crats and Republicans every od, to work to. gether, so that we may have a tax levied for the aupport of the schoo's, and then compel the dmlatrrs of the public schools to confne their expenditures within the revenues, oGN. LEONArD aBWaLL was the net speaker. Altholh over' o wered by the sudden call. he still f. It pleasure In ba ing the opportuniity to express his f.elfngs and sentiments on thesubjct whloh had ocaslone the meeting. Much had been said in praise of the city and State administrations he ha nothing to say in favor of either. They ha paid too much attention to their own persona welfare, and had nealected the interests of the youth of this State. When the time comes that the public schopls are closed the narents o the youths of New Orleans would clas their children to their breasts and fyr from the oity as they would from one filled with leprosy. He was not one of those who haid Ith In the coun try members. They had undertaken to educate the children of the parishes, a d left unpro vided for the so 0o0 children of the city of New Orleans. Where they were to get their educa tlon the country memlers did not know, and they did not care. The speaker then pictured the condition of the school teachers and the po.Ice and attrib used it and the Inability of the city to pay tL servants to the prodigal expenditures of the city aulthoritle. They expended the money of the city In keeping thempelves in offlue and supportlng their coltical friends. In additlon to this, there were a number of unnc ensary offces whilch should be abolished, and when they were abolished, then. perhaps, there might be a school fund establlshed, Judle W. T. Houston, the chairman of the committee on nusotIrTIOws, read the following, which were adopted: Whereas, we rec,,gnlze the fact that a goanod system of pub I, education is the very founda tlon of a great and prosperous republic; And whereas, we observe with the deepest sorrow and concern that the public schools in NeW Orleans are In so critic l a oondltlon, financlally. as to be in serious danger of be coming but a sand wreck of their former grandeur and exe!tlene:; and that our teachers who have labored so zealously ably and can sclentlously to preserve the efficirency of these. the noblest Institutions in the land, are most InadPrutbtely and irregularey paid for their ivalualbe services; therefore, be it Resolved. That we, the friends and patrons of publi education in Pew Orleans, in assembly here to-nlaht, appreciating the facts aforesaid and feeling unwilling to further bear the welbiht of the evils oppressing our educational Inter ests, do solemnly pledae ourselves to stve our warmest support, moral and political, to our well-belovedpublic schools, to the end that theo may be all that they have been in the past-the promoters of intelligence, the preservers of peace and lood ord-r, anil the true expresslon of the hlghest instincts and purposes of the community. Reshn'ed, That, as an earnest of our sinnerlty in the causeof popular education, we bind our selves to make the Interest of the public schools a Drominent feature in the election of candi dates to the constitutional convention, and to endeavor to secure the wisest legislation on the subjeot, believing, with the patriot, that the traslnln of the chldren of each common wealth for Intelligent suffrage, Is the only safe guard for the perpetuity of a repunblican form of government. And be it dtill further resnirel. That in order to more .ffeotually accomplish our purpose we unite our efforts to enlist all good citizens in the just cause which has convened us here this nlght, 's he committee was com osed of Judge Wm. T. Houston, Hon, Louis Bush and Edwin T. Kursheedt. E-q, The chair announced Hon. John MEnery. Dr. J. 8, Copea. W. I. Crouch, sq.. Hon. Louis Bush. E. M. Hudson. Esq., and Anthony Vizard, Esq.. as the committee to present the reeolu. tions to the Legislature, and the meeting ad journed. NIATI'NG ON BEAL ICU NERE. It is now assuming proper shape that we will have at skating rink where the merry gliders can cut the sparkling surface of real Ice. It Is proposed by several well-known gen tlemen to form a company and leasealarge plot of ground, In which will be placed an am moats machine, similar to that used by the Louisiana Ice Manufacturing Company. A space about eto by oe fret. after beinog covered with a net-woi k of pipes, would be Ilushed to a depth of several inches with water, and then this would be frozen solid It would Indeed be a novelty to see skaters a.iling along on the oee during our summer, with the temperature at oad grees. From the names of those who are the pro moters of this novel scheme, there can be ques tlion but what it will be a sueoess if final ar rangements are made. +~*-- -- TiE GSEAT COCK FI.IT. Already the coming cocking main between the States of Kentucky and Georgia, whlohwill take place in this city about l'ebruary 20 next, has excited much attention on the part of sport Inl men, and gives promi3s of being the great est main ever had in this country. The backers of both States. as we learn from Mr. P.una Hunt. of our city, are old and experienced cock fighters, and men who mean businese. asob side is to pit thirty-one ,,ocks. weighing each not less than four pounds eight ounces, and on every battle there is to be laid ueo. and on tbo main itt0e. Cock fighters from all parts of the country are making preparations to come on to witness the event, and it is said large sums will be laid by the backers of Ken tucky's birds against the now famous "shawl necks" of Oeorgia. o far as could be learned, the battles will take place in the old Spanish cock-pit on Dumaine street, and it is intended to make ample preparations for the accommo dation of a large number of visitors. COINING TO COIMENCE. We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday Mr. M. V. B. Davis, the coiner of our Mint, who is now vigorously pushing forward the work of reparation on the machinery, so that coining may commence by February 1. Mr. Davis is satisfled that our Mint ought to be one of the most successful ones in the country. With the advantages of natural situation, situated as it is within easy reach of the mines of Mexico, and with the daily receipt of from seo to 170o ounces of bullion, there Is no reason why it should not become one of the leading minting institutions. Although our Mint doe, not pos sees als the lastest coining machinery, what it has will do a very large amount of work. Eschew evil. Heed good advice. Hunt shad ines. Nothing else will effect a cure in fever and ague and liver complaint so quickly as Beed's Gilt Edge Tonic. The Ool6dnade Hotel. Philadelphia, is a model establishment. It is superb in both style and appointment, and its table and ser vice cannot be excelled. For OCaoia shy Peas mcll on a. o .k Co.. etats Pabri and Tehoupio m hr o dlbbJS1P MUNICIPAL. - 3?

In consequence of the publication in the DaoornaT Festerday morning of the meeting on Monday evening of the committee tq eon sider some plan to settle the oity debt, £ cor. respondence took place yesterday between some of the members of the committee and the Mayor, which is in the following words: Naw OnLAms., January 28, 1879. Hon. I. W. Patton, Mayor: Dear Air-Yopr attention is called to a state ment ade in the DaMocaAT of this mornalo in regari to the prooeedinls of the meeting of the .omm ttee last nioh*, o whieh we are members. We remember no question or suggestion beitg made as to the propriet or policy of testing t validity of any outstatnding bonds nor did you make any proposition, directly or indirectly, to postpone the payment of interest. Our undeo standing of the result of the meeting was that no conclusion was reached, on acoount of the marked divergence in the views of its members. Yours truly, A. BCM O-lHBNXEI Ra. To which the Mayor made thb following an swer: MATon's Oyrtls, New Orleans, January 2s. ilse. MeMrs. A, obhelber, J. M. Selxas and J. 0.

Very respeetull r. I. W. PATTON. t W make this publication at the request of he 1frmatlon of the DumonaAT was not obtanled by a personal representation at the meeting, but was derived from a gentleman who was present t the meeting. At 8 o'oinok on ondar afternoon a reporter of the DaMocaaT, being In the Mayor's parlor (the Mayor had already retired for the day?. was not only Informed by Administrator licuston that the meeting would not occur on that evening, but Mr. Chas. Mamurdo, the sec retary of the Mayor sae suthorised to Inform the gentlemen, members of the committee, that the Councll would not meet. At m'dnight it was ascertaineB, however, that the meetlng had taken place, and a reporter was dispatched to interview a gentleman who was known to have bee resnt at t he meeting, with the result publshed in the DZMOacT coa Tgesday morn ing uuder the beadi of "The Oty Det." Rlico we have not had an opportunity to meet our in f irmer. THa couonIL wMaflto. The Connoll meeting yesterday was of an or dinary character, matters of a routine nature being t, rinipally acted upon. A petition from Surveyor Brown was received asking for an appropriation of money to construct a proten tion levee on the right bank from Morgan's railroad depot to Spanish Town. It was ex plained that in view of the rise of the river the levee was necessary to prevent a possible over flow of that section of the city. but that the character of the work suggested that State aid should be asked for. The Mayor appointed a eommlttee for the purpose of waiting on the Rtate Bingineers. and atthesame time promised that be would himself, after the meeting of the Council, make a personal visit to the board, THEg CLOMT qUesTIOW. The proposition of Mr. Gallery. to do the work of cleaning the sinks of the city for two years for 52400 was rejected by the ouoncll. Mr. Ohevaller explained that the work had already been given out and suggested that It was ra ther late for Mr. Callery to come before the Council and offer to do the work at that price, when he had, previous to the giving out of the work, declined to do It for lessthan 52almonth. rlITITMas NwwrsArta proprietors were applicants before the CounIIl for permission to erect a steam engine at No. lie Common street where they propose to transfer their establishment abeut the first of March next. THl HALYWAv ItIIOUIs'TATION. The bids for the construction of this station were not acted upon yesterday. because the lowest amounts to about six huudred dollars more than the sum appropriated for the pur pose, or nearly twelve hundred dollars. Thb matter was referred to the committee of the wh ie. The rent of the building now occupied by the station is ase a month or s42o a year. and. says Administrator Mealey the other expenses and the losses Incurred in feed in the present build Ing amount to at leset one hundred dollars more every year He Is therefore of the nopinlion that it will be to the advantage of the city to appro priate the additional sum and have this new station built. COLUMBIA FIy,. This fire company again lays its grievances beforetheConncll. For several years already their engine house on Oirod street has been in a dilapidated condition and threatens to fall into ruins and they beg the Counfll to come to their relief In some way. A NEW INVENTIOW. A communication from Mr. J. T. Condon, the inventor of an improvement on the apparatus to indicate the locality of fires through the elec tric system already in operation, was also re ceived andi referred to the committee of the whole. This apparatus was fully described sometime ago in the DLBoo.AT. Its feature is that, besides the ticking or bell signal. itis pro vided with an attachment which shows in fiaures the station whenceithe alarm is sounded.
