THE REASON 1/VHY.
[From tho Monroe Iiitelligenccr.]
The object of education is very
vaguely understood by many per
sons. At school children are usually
taught to read and write, and some
people think that this is education.
But noone is benefitted by the mere
knowledge how to read or write.
The good to be obtained is from the
use made of this knowledge. All
kinds of work can be done better by
an intelligent man than by one who
is ignorant. In all countries the,
condition and character of the peo
ple correspond with the degree of
intelligence. Where the greater
number are ignorant* there is the
most abject poverty—there the
(jreat maBS of the working people
are very poor. In many countries
there is a class of educated men who
control the affairs of the* nation for
their own benefit, who possess im
mense wealth, while the majority of
their countrymen barely exist in the
lowest degree of poverty. "Where
ever this is the case we find that
the common people are' uneducated
and ignorant. The attempt to es
tablish schools for all classes and to
instruct all the children has been
but lately made, and there is not
yet any country in the world where 1
all the childreu are taught just as ;
they should be. The most enlight- '
ened communities are yet far from I
having a perfect system of common -
schools. Tet the difierenoe between
the people who have maintained ■
public schools in some form and t
those who made no effort for that ]
purpose is very great. Iu .jaost of ]
the Northern States the public ,
school system is improving year by ,
year, the best men are engaged in ,
the work and are sustained by the
people. Here in Louisiana the
work is scarcely begun, and .many 1
of our citizens do not understand *
the benefit to be derived from : tho 1
education of all children izi public ^
schools. Some think that an edu- J
cation will make one able to live '
without work—will enable one to 1
make money easy. This is a mis- 1
take. Education helps a man "to ^
work to the best advantage, and 1
helps him to secure the best result 1
torn hii; !ahnr_ ' 3
_ Bit true education does not con
sist alone in the study of, books.
Children should also to taught to
prompt, punctual and orderly—i
taught to be honest, tauthful and
industrious. They should be taught
to bo and to dp. just that which will

Mr. Brown, on taking the chair,
expressed his thanks at being called
on to preside on such .an occasion,
when the representatives of the
rights of the whole pbople are wel
comed and honored. After a brief
speech, Mr. Brown introduced Lier
tenant' Governor Pinchback, o.
Louisiana, who spake as follows:
When invited to be present on
this occasion his first impulse had
been to thank them for the honor,
and express his Tegrets that other
engagements prevented' his attond
once, but he finally ^concluded that
at some inconvenience tb himself he
wbiild" be ; pres^iS ' --This meeting
had much significance, and it was
Wetr that colored people were be
ginmnrg 'to appreciate the import
ance of public dethottstations of this
character. These were resulting
social -benefits, and furnished evi
dence of increasing respect for-re
presentative men. Complimenting
the beauty of Baltimore, its grand
monumets, beautiful churches and
traditional hospitality, be alluded
to the" promptness with which her
regiments had been raised, armed
and equipped to do battle in the
cause of human liberty and the
Union. The great object for which
those heroes fought, and for which
many of them fell, ' had not all been
attained, and this fact had induced
his attendance, as also that he might
by4iis presence attest his grateful
remembrance of a similar honor
conferred on him some time ago by
this wlioleeefcled and generous peo
ple. A consideration cf the subject
before them (the Civil Rights bill ^
was met at the outset by the charge
that it was asking for class legisla
tion. Such legislation was prohib
ited by the organic law of the na
tion, but co-existent with this is the
idea of equality^ Among the settled
convictions in the popular mind is
opposition to monopolies and partial
or class legislation, and any Con
gressional action, however noble
and sanctified the end at which it
aims, r proceeds, under.gr^at. djsad-<
vantages if it' even seems to "partake
of that character. If this objection
is real and well founded, still the
the action sought is so peculiar in
its surroundings as to make it a
leg itimate exception to the common
rule. The equal rights of the col
ored citizen in the matter of public
education, transit, convenience and
amusement are practically abridged
wnfl sometimes utterly denied. In
some instances the statutes of the
State by omission or pr oh ibit ions
'
- limit in some degree the common
rights of citizenship. In other in
stances where the statnte is .neither
r silent nor hostile, custom basad.upon
l conventional agreement and fos
l tered and invigorated by a vicious
. public opinion, neutralizes the laws
s and not only compasses practical
I desjxuction of tb|e rights in question
> but even renders their enjoyment
> when permitted by sufferance a hu
. .initiation aryl a perpetual ahnoy
. ance. .If a special law, therefore, is
> asked, the demand proceeds upon
. the absolute absence, as far as the
colored citizen is concerned, of that
, personal equality before the law
which is assumed to exist in the
National Constitution, as the ground
upon which class legislation is in
admissible. »So that in this excep
tional demand the very spirit of the
rule which seems to be violated re
quires sueh action in order to pre
serve tho ^integrity, of this great
principle of civil liberty. The ob
jection is seeding rather than real,
as the Congressional action sought,
while attempting to vindicate, the
right of a class when proscribed by
local statutes or public opinion crys
talized into oppression and offen
sive custom does not invade the
rights of any other class of the com
munity; nor place the party in
whose interest it is made upon any
vantage ground above their fel
lows.

It gives no peculiar, exclusive, er
additional benefit to those who ask
it, but simply proposes to render
practicable by statute, the exercise
of those rights already guaranteed
in the great charter of the nation—
the Federal Constitution. Some
gentlemen opposed to the legislation
asked, say that in citizenship we
have received all that we can legally
claim. , A misconception obtains; as
to the full significance of the term
citizen, as applied to; us, which robs
it of force by so limiting its meaning^
as that it neither measures, nor pro
tects our rights. The immortal ut
terances that all man are born free
and equal represents all of human
rights that the Am&ican Caucasian
claims aoiis glorious birthright, If
the gentlemen who think present
legislation adequate to tho protec-:
tion of the rights of the colored
people were debarred access to the
public schools^ or to all the convent
iences and luxuries of modern tran
sit, or the benefits and enjoyments
of relaxation in places of amusement,
or a seat in the temple of : -God, 'Or
the rights of sepulture without pro
scription for the loved dead, he
would immediately resent such in
fringements of his privileges as a
violation of his rights of citizenship.
These points were elaborately. dis
cussed, as well as the fact that the
rights to be guaranteed by the Civil
Rights bill did not involve social
equality. The- wolored people
had no wish to force themselves
mMR ih#» whites; '
Ex-Governor Rangier, of South
Carolina, was next introduced. He
illustrated the need of the Civil
Right&bill by telling of his experi
ence during a former vieii jto Balti
more, When he and . State Treasurer
Cadoza stopped at ? the Eutaw
House, and after they had gone to
thfeir room Were asked if they warq
colored men, and:when they admit
ted it, were told that they pould not
remain. • Colored men had done
their part jto build up, .the couniay*
and had freely shed' their blood /or
it in the Revolutionary, the Florid*
and the last war. r^-'hey waro now,
in. the providence of God, .free*
They wero growing in wealth and
intelligence; they were greatly in
debted to the Republican party.
As an organizatipn it conducted the
war to ft trinmphant' issue. The
colored people owe to t the rights
that thay enjoy, but the RepubKcan
party will be responsible to the nine
hundred thousand colored voters,
and to the whole five million people
of the United. States, if the colored
raee don't now get their civil rights
secured. Justice and expediency
alike called on the Republican party
to pass the Civil Rights bill.. If
they did iiot then, even in States
like that of the speaker, where there
was 30,000 colored majority; the
Democracy might carry the elec
tions.
The speaker concluded by saying
that the Republican party in Con
gress could not afford to not pass
financial measures, a recognition of
Cuba and the Civil Rights bill.
Horn J. H. Rainey, of South Car
olina, made the longest speech of
the evening. He traced the capacity
and manhood of blacks in ancient
and modem times; their equality
with whites; the unfairness with
which prejudice judged their best
efforts; their efforts to get education
and their patriotism and efforts to
make the country great and free.
He advised patience, organization
and persistent [demand fog. equal
justice. There should be no mobs,
no resort to violence, but the use of
their powers as voters, the judicious
employment of their privileges and
advantages. He alluded to affairs
in the South; admitted that" they
had made mistakes; had erred by
following the advice of the very
white men who traduced them.

There is propceed 4o be held a
convention of steamboat owners,
captains, mates, pilots, clerks, and
those whose lives and fortunes are
identified with the commercial ma
rine of the "inland sea." The con
vention will probably sit in July or
August in r Louisville. Its purpose
the consideration of ways and
means of restoring' the value of
steamboats property and the repor
duction of trade in the valley of the
Mississippi. Every steamboat ow
ner sees many causes operating to
destroy Ms "home on the rolling
deep," and these: should be clearly
and authoritatively defined, and
proper remedies expounded. Three
of the finast; costliest steamers ^hat
ever floated were recently sold, and
each for hardly mora than the orig
inal coast of its Cabin furniture,
and steamboat property rapidity
becomes valueless. -If the ' cost of
transportation had been lessened,
and of living reduced; if a better
•tad cheaper, system-'of transporta
tion had been substituted for that
whieh the riyer gave, we would be
well pleased. But the river has
been:damned up. Farmers and
merchants dared not seek access, to
the sea though-a channel closeg at
will by thieves atifcsmouth. Forty
per cent is needlessly added to . the
coast of transportation in order
that the wealth of the west may be
forced over eastern railway lines^ or
rot in western granaries. The
river commerce oi the west*: the
personal wealth, employment and
fortune of every steamboatmen,

i bidding of this convention of steam
• boatmen. Let them say which is
best for this valley, Ends' jetties
; the Fort St. Phillips, or Barataria
bay canal. Let them say whether
i. levees should be built or canals dug,
' outlets opened and rivers diverted
to controle and regulate, and dis
tribute the superabundant water of
the Mississppi. These are only a
few of the questions to be discussed
by the rivermen's conventioh. The
disgraceful wharfage tax should be
annulled everywhere, . even if it
require the intervention of a consti
tutional amedment, &nd there are
absurd regiilationg incident to tho
licensing system of captains, pilots,
and engineers whick should be an
