WVe have to say in reply, that this
characteristic de:unciatiou of pro
gressivo ideas awd maasures on. the
part of the Tui-s is just what might
have been expected.
It would b: amusing, if it were
not disorganizing to society, to find
the Tines fighting against accom
plished facts, which in their very
nature are irreversible, and to see it
in such a ludicrous flurry about
the mixture. of colored and white
children in the public schools.
In Massachusetts and the other
New England States the white and
colored children sit on the same
benches in the public schools ; and
when it is recollected that the
puritan stock came from England
where aristocracy is worshiped,
while the best blood of Louisiana
was transmitted to the Continent of
America fkom republidn France,
it seems W'ine ailnit out of keeping
with the aristocratic tendencies of
the T2iner fur it to denounce the
eystew adopted by the descendants
of the aristocrats, in New England.
There are some cxnparisohs too.
v. Iich do not ted inl favor of the
Tinms. For instance New England
furnish.s fully two thirds of the
capital employed in the counnerce
of the na.ion, vet the children
cf rich parents there, are
ailowuA to associate with the
chiklren of the commonest laborer,
while the 'bme, which speaks for a
poverty-strickeu section of the
countrywhere more than half of the
white children are even more igito
rant and degraded than the colored
children prates, about the outrage
of such association.
Then again, the host educational
systema on the Continent exists amid
the termi of an indiscriminate ad
mission to the public schools; and
bcatd not only do nunuy of the
betmen inthe natiou advocate
mixed schools, but some of the
ali't l id men of the nation have
thensaslves sprung from the system
of mixed schools.
But the criticistn of the Times he
comes ('eie more ridiculous than it
is absurd, when we examine tue
merits of the question at issue. In
Ithe first place, if people have aristo
cratic lprejudices in a republican
I ociet'-, t. ow ought to pay for them,
Iw scurling their children to private
school.; and in the next jlace if
pepeare not willing to submit to
tkc laws which give theom equal
protection with all othert, it is one
of the best proofs they ought flot to
be etntristed with the responsibillty
Iof enacting laws.
A child is not better Th44'\ its
father. He' will sit on the same
benches with < olored legislaters;
why then cannot riis children sit on
the same lenches with colored
chitdran-the experiment of mixiug
white and colored children has been
tried ini the best societe and provdd
a success; anid-if it fails in thts city
it wit onl'v shbw' the wilf~iues of a

on to its principles, and keepinig up
with the tites; vigilant as a senti

STAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
This excellent institution, is a
monument of the missionary enter
prise of the American 1Missionary
Association. The University build
ing is an ornament to our city, and
the provisi'n un de for the instrue
tion of our youth is both gcnerous
and comnprehensive. Following its
usual eonus:, in the cstahlishmeneut of
such institu i 1us, of which there are
many thric.ohout the " Southern
Sta~ts, the Amuerican Miszionsr7 As
sociutionu has lept in view the de
velopment of a capacity fot self
government, among colored people
quite ats fully as it has looket to
their elevation through edficstional
machinery. It is the po'icy of that
noble Association to select colored
flefl, not only as trustees to holdithe
property in which their iphildren are
taught, but it also pri cures, whore
it can, all things being equal, the
services of colored men to disoharge
the various educational duties of the
jistitutions~ uider its care.
Among the many institutions of
this kind in the South, there .are
few which have the advantages of
Straight University. Putronised by
the weilthicst and most intelligent
of the colored citizens of New Or
leans; furnishing an audience room
on Sunday and during the .week,
for those who seek intelligent
preaching and interesting discus
sions, it has naturally become a
center of influence and a.refioctor
of ixitdlligence among us.
Siece Dr. Thompson has taken
charge as chaplhin, theSunday con
gregations hare increased in num
bers andr #eepectablity; while dur,
ing the week, the lectures of Dr.
Newman and others have suggesadd
interesting. topics of discusaiozn
among the pdople. We earneaily
hope that the citizens of New Or
leans will show by their patronage
of Straight .University that they
appreciate time benevolence of our
Northern friends 'in putting within
our reach, such a noble instrument
of gbod, wit~hout money and with
out price.

Now if this affords amusement

ites, undet* the pressure of. political
necessity, will Loin. in the close em
braces of some high-sounding com
promise, and cheat each faction of
its expecbatlons.
It $ses o be difficult for us to
learn that the successful pblitician
mist play a bold hand up 'to the
crisis, and that when the reaches the
crisis he is willing to be swallowed
by it: nor does it setan less difficult
to accept the doctrine that measures
are superior to min. At the prese(t
time party rancoris funning so high
that rival factions threaten to fore
go the privilege of voting rather
than vdte uol tain men. All
sorts of corruption, chicanery, coer
cion and tyranmy are charged by
one side against the other.
We honor the conviction of all,
nor do we offer disrcspect to the
choice of any; but we suggest that
calmness jest now is likely to be
more profitable than strife. Let us
remember that at present we have
a Republican party and. that etersal
infamny awaits the combinaition thait
destroys it-that we have officers of
our own chioommig, and that they
can be displaced i~ they jrove un
faithful; that none o~them dare face
thu consequences of either bolting
or proving traitors to the party and
above all, let us remember that it is
the voters and not the office holders
who hold the destinies of the Re
p~ublican party in their hands. If
we but make up our minds to stand.
by thiose candidates who may com
mand the largest utunber of votes;
we shall be able to control those

right men.

their children to sunday uchoola

The Fourth Presbyterian Church,

in their Sunday school, provided
they sat up stairs, and weae taught
separately.
But last Sunday morning it was
determined to do more than this.
The ilolrsed chilita wwoirafl sent
home again with the information
that the church did not think it was
right of proper that white and col
ored children shouild mix together,
therefore the colored children had
better attend a colored &anday

This exhibition of utter dislike to
these children tinted by the Cow
