This is what the Register sys : "If the Editor of the Baton P.euge Gaund Era would saffer us to offer him a friendly suggestion, (and we believe he will) we would express the opinian that he would appear upon the Republi can platform in a more gallant attitude a a defeuder of Republican principles, than as a champion of a race or class. We refer bow to his "Bed-iviiu" Q'The unfortunate Public Schools are thre.tened with more stoppages. The City Board are refusing to levy the tax authorized by the Legislature, for the support of the schools, and the School Directors are trying to mandamus them into it. The history of the present school ~ystem would be an interesting study for a lover of vicissitudinarian events. No asoner-does the commnuity begin to be lieve that things will assume some de finite shape, and the children receive sozme instruction, in return for the hand bome outlays to superintendents, and other o~c;il, than some new complica tion arises threatening to embarrass, if not overthrow the whole michinery.

FEDrnAL Amnonrir.-President Grant has responded to the cry for help fromhi South Carolina, and shewa signs that he initeods to protect peaceable and ordrly citiseas in the enjoyment of their rights ind privilee. He has issued a prodla mation commanding "all rersons com prising the unlawful combinations to disperse and retire fpocfully to their respeotive homes within twenty ,days from this date." Mississippi seems to be getting in a fai' way to receivre ~imilkr atention from Washington. hneI time has fuly arrived when the national administration should recognize and fiel the importane, and the weight of responsibility whieh rests on it, to protect the thoumands of its helplemss citizens throughdio the South, who can hope for n juatice no consider ation, no toleration whatever fbom the old element in. it, andwho are by degrees naturaly resunr pkaces, iu posiea of emtrel and po'er.

Unlike the vast majority of the Mieaw. bers, who wait for "something to turn up," these young men are turning it up. This is what the Bianner says: Tat TacB SPzan.-A gentlemen of Terreboane parish lately informed as that he had a list of seventeen plantations in that parish which had been leased to stangers since the war, all the lessees fail ing, but which have at length come into the hands of the sons of the original owners. And these sons have, most of them, pulled off their costs, relled up their sleeves, and pitched in, and are, uow in a fair way to own these planta tions at a period not distant. They have led ot relying chiefly on their own industry and economy, san good calculations. They have self-reli-, ance, which is much better than a reliance on advances by New Orleans merchants. It is che.ring to see young men tke hol of business with that indomitable spirit which knowsno such ord as fail. "Provi dence helps those who help themselves." The Democratic members of Congress are now getting virtuously indignant, at having all the Ku Klnx outrages in the South laid at their door with such per sistency and vehemence as prominent Congressmen are now doing, and so they have stripped themselves for the arena, and expect to beab'le to disprove the allegations. This is a dexterous ef fort at shifting of the old position. Formerly the existence of these mur derous organizations was generally de nied, and where this could nbt be done their fiendish deeds were palliated, or' defended. The amazing march of prd greys has courged some of the promi nent and somewhat conscientious pro digals home, and now instead of attempt ing any further denials or extenuations, they are ready to tacitly admit the exis tence of these atrocities but unequivocal ly to repudiate their own counexion with or endorsation of them. This though feeble, is yet a move in the right direction, and will serve to encourage and stimulate the -labors of those earnest men to whose persistent efforts to secure peace and order, and security for life and property, so much is attributable. Dr. Johnson has said that "where there is shame there may be virtue," and we are willing charitably to hope circum stances will speedily so inexorably dic "tate, that the Democ r.tic party through 'out the country, l. be fored to "as sume a virtue if they have it not," and be found taking the next forward step of arraying themselves on the side of law and order, and striving in common with every lover of liberty and justice to maintain and support the majesty of law and the tights of all citiens.' The sitting of Congress will likely be prolonged some two or three 'webks in consequence of the debate likely to arise over Mr. She mnan's Ka Klhix Bill. The paragraph writer of the New O Ileans Tinaes has fthrnisuld m aother illus tration of the extreme folly of am untfor tunate class to which he belongs. In the evening edition of that paper of Thursday last, this pigmy Apollo pretends t, have seen Tn ~LJ.ovuwsa that day for the first time and forthwith, like all other ignorant people who get informs tion for the first time, he presumes that "not one ina huadmed of our citisens had seen or heard of the.paper before." The ninety-nine whe didn't see it weie those who "have no faith in Radicalism," and they had no.depsire to see anothaer Repub lican jnurnal in their midst, leading its feeble aid tosustain theright But the writer is inexcusable for his ignorance, because if he had notied the proceedings of the Legislature, he would have seen that our paper was the farst, outside of the oilcial journal, to receive the print inig of the proecedings. Wherehas be been al this time? Again, we *ere courteous enough to exdhange our unprtentious sheet with tie city mammoths all along; where ha he been about the Tata office? But we have the story of the animus, our Thurs day paper contained the account of the abominable ouitrage oh Senator Butler, and that naturally ras an interesting thing to such ~iople as the 7inm writer, and direeted of 'any pretext for an at tack on that core, he launches out in a puerile stterpt' at thsrm.tic.

THE RACE. Last Thursday afternoon, the great race between Hea. C. C. Antoine's "Nellie," and Hon. W. B. Barrett'a " Frank." came off ever the Oakland Course. The race was mile heats-thre out of flue, to harness, purse $400. At the hour designated, carriages and buggies began to arrive, and ot' some time it seemed that there would be no end to their coming. The neighborhood of the Judge's stand presented quit* a lively and animated scene; several ladies lent their presence to the oocesion which made it all the more agreeable, if not enctnting. Several hundred persons were gbthered to witness the race, iand the enthusiasm was occasionally very great, the most admirable harmony and order, however, prevailing throughout. J.

MARIAmw L-We have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of an invitation to be present at the Celebration of the nuptials between Mr. C. L. Stevenson and Miss Carrie Satchell, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky., on March 22. 'Distance certainly lent considerable enchantment to the imagina tive view we took, and we only wished we could have been there. Governor Scott, of South Carolina, has sent a letter to the President formally re questing the presence of a regiment of United ,Sates cavalry in his State to suppress the Ku Klux. It is generally the case that thsre wild' marauders become exceedingly quiet when there are a few United States troops about, and the call of the Governor is very convincing evidence that they have been carrying. on their atrocities with a high hand. HowARD UNIVERZSTY. The Medical Commencement at the Howard Univer sity last week like the Legal a few weeks before, was a great success, both in the number and character of the audience, and in the matter and manner of the exercises. They both, too, ahoudseueess, in the attempt to make, not only a College, but p University, for the race so lately pariahs. Medical men are not expected to be orators, but the valedictory by a graduate thoroughly black, and President Howard's parting address, were both excellent and eloquent. COMMENCEMENT. EXELRCIsES OF THE LAW CLAS OF BOWARD UNIVERsrflr. Wamuoos. D. 0. The anouncement that the etomaIense ment exercisesa of the Law clam of Howard University would take place at the First Congregational Church, brought a large concourse of people to that place last evenming. So full was the:church that many were unable to Ed- seats. Among the eminent gentlemen preant were Generals Sherman and Howard; Senators Saminet, Wilson, Sherpan, anid Warner; Attorney GOneral Akerman; presenative uMaynard, Rainy, Long, Lnd Burdette, Mayor Emery, sand others. Prayer was offered by Rev. De Chickering, of Boston. Mass. J. Langston, A. M., presented each member of the graduating cla mas he came forwald to deliver his oration. These gentlemen spoke in the following order: Mr. O. W. Sha4d spoke upon "Popular Prejndies" a ag~gsjt profasors of the law, and ably defended the members of that prolesion from the poplar asper mons as to their honesty and integrity. Mr.Louis A. Bell treated of "Divore and Divorce Legislation." He argued that in countries wherein liberal divorcee laws prevail, the condition of socidety in morals and happinek is far above that which prevails elsewhere Mr. John H. Johnson's remarka related to "Exclusions In Evidence." He held that to excludde interested persons hfem the witness stand becase of a suspielon that their evidence wosld not be truthfpl was a seversal of the great principle of law that innoqsnce should be presumed a til guilt be proven. Mr. Charles H. Thomas spoke bf "Trial by Jury," expounding its principles and its gre, beaetit is.a bnlwark of justice and liberty. e d Mr. Thomas e Warrick elored the mvsteries of con.mon Ia in all its raifPiatiom sad euakets Mr. John H.

PARIS UNDER THE 3OB. -0--o The National Guard which as o r serve order in Paris has tunied raitort the Government, and threatens ti involv all France in civil war.

Gen. Palsdins,. its:caeom-: mander. is a prisoner. tho origin-. ally confuied to the suburban districts of Bellevills and Montmartre, the rioters,' sines the defection-of the (uard, have advanced into the heart of the city; and have seized the headquirters of the: Guard, in the place Vendgme. In a word, Park is completely at their mercy; and already cries out for aid trom the Provinces ot the Prussians. The immediate cause of the aprii.i was an untimely if not an unwise e4oit, on the part of the Government to disperse the mod at Montmartre, led, we are leftL to infer, by Blanqui, Flourens, and the. other violent and active "Reds* lately condemnedto deatbfor contumacy. The designs, and indeed the leadership of the mob, are not very clearly revealed by the reports or by their action, but a violent cpposition to the Assembly and :the Government.which it has created has been devoloped. It is this hate which evident ly inspires the mob, and it rushes blindly to the destruction of all semblance of government and of order. There is no power of argument which ea reach the rioters, and no military force remainm' :n Paris wich can suppress them; and the scenes which are now enacting and %hich must follow cannot well be other than oiting, cruel, and disgraceful. Th Paris journels call upon the Pro vinces or the Germpns for aid. It is dif ficult to say which authority will be ex ercised or which it would' be wisest to in v oke. The appearance of Gardes Mobiles at the gates of Paris would' incite civil dissensions, which, arraying Paris against the rest of France, would naturally lead to most deplorable consequences. The issue of such a confict would for a time, at least, be doubtful, and Paris would suffer more from her own sons than she did from the Germaas. A. ruaidnt body of the latter would make the strong. gle srort and decisive, and t houpg a iovernmeuk which ealls upon the .Pru - sians for its maintenance must suffer in popularity by uh degrading actios 'it seems liely that M. Thieris.left other alterntive. The Germans are interested in maintaiziing drder, if not the Government, in order to secure their indemnity, and any call upon thes' fur aid will doubtles.be promptly aswered. As indicating such mqlingness, their ,re tirement has already been .discontinnecd. -N. Y. 7'rAe.
