TROUBLES Oi THE MEXICAN BOR
DER.
Great excitenent prevails through
out the country at the outrage at
El Pa-o Texas, perpetrated b3' the
Mexicans upon a body of Rangers
(Texas State troops). It appears
that the Rangers number some 25
or 30 and sre barriedided in a Mex
lean dirt hut with walls tw6 feet
thick. The Mexicans number 300
to 400. They demand the surren
der by the .Jmer icans of Judge
Howard, to be beheaded, upon the
refusal of which demand they
threatened to massacre the whole
body of Rangers. The ut
most excitement prevails and the
Governor of Texas has telegraph, d
the President for immediate assist
ance and the members of Congr;.ss
from Texas have taken their do
partute for hro.me, in view of the
state cf rffairs exitirg U. S
troops have been dispatched from
the nearest posts to the scene of
trouble, under orders to make forc
ed marches, but it is feared they
will arrive too late. Gen. Thos.
M Vincent. Ast. Adjutant Gen
eral of the Unitr d States .Jrmy has
been dispatched to the scene of
eonflhct. The forces now en route
to El Paco consist of ten compan
*nies of the Ninth Cavalry, and one
company of Infan'rv. The whole
force numbers a little over 300
men and will be amply sufficient if
they arrive in time. The Rangers
refuse to surrender Judge fHowara,
but their ammunition is almost <x
hausted and the Mexicans were u- t
dermining the dirt house at :ast ac
Counts.

TION.
-= lEw Otr.EAns, DaECIaMlER 7rnT, 1877.
! At a meeting of this 'Associationb at
41A Exposition Hall, last night, the following
circluar letter WIas adopted and the Cor
responding CommitBtee ordered to send
COR the sanme to the Police Juries, the news
papers and. prominent men of every Par
to ish :
her. TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA:
At a regular meeting of the Louisiana
7 Immigration Association, held on the
31st day of October, 1877, the following
OR- resolution was adopted, to-wit:
'fWhereas, the necessities of our State
gh sould arouse all the energies of her peo
ple to promote and enconragi immigra
tion, aml bring within her borders hon
est and industrious citizens.
els "Jcesolred, That, in orderto bring about
amrS unity of purpose and action throughout
25 the State, we recommend to and urge
CX upon the people in each and every parish
feet to organize at once somcieties or assoeia
300 tions to encourage immigration; and that
en- when said societies or associations are
dre organized, that they are earnestly ro
t he quested to prt themselves in conmunnica
hev tion with the association.
tole "Rcesotred, That a convention represen
ut- ting all the parishes in the State be and
the is hereby called, to be holden in the city
of New Qrleans, on the secand 'Monday of
- Jnary, 1878, to take into consideration
tile most active and feasible means that
will bring to our State good and reliable
the classes of immigrants.
"Rc.esored, That the representation in
said convention shall he as follows: For
om each parish, except Oreanus, two dele
of gates for every nmenmber of the House of
IC- Representatives fiom said parish, nanl for
1C3' the parish of Orleans, three to be ap
OS. pointed by the Chamber of Commnnere,
?n- three by the Cotton Exchange, three ly I
als the Merchants' Exchange, seven by the
of Mayor of the city of New Orleans, and
tite tive by the President of this Association."
n- It is appalrelnt to every one that there i
ne is scarcely a more imnportant question to
lle enlist the attention of Louisiana's people
00 at tl.is timle than he qaestiln of immi- n
if gration.
The objects of this State Convention v
are to suggest and recommend sonic mode
of organization for the coui-idcration of
the Legislatnre for the purpose of inart- r
- gurating anrd carrying on praticalbly a
system of innmigration,' aird invite the
efforts of our people in the improvemlent y
of our State, and bring into use the many o
thoimsands of acres of lands now not fiully
cultivated. We have t" e climate, the
asoil and the products, Which certainly a
offer inducements, when flly made e
known'to tile stranger, to conme and set
Stie anongst us. The progress to lie mlade
and ultimate results are to be attainedl
l* by the hearty co-operation of our best S
is people in a united effort, ralther than by
individual efforts, to bring the many a
good and indust ious farnmers, laborers
). nechanies and artisans to Louisianan.
II We col:fidently ht.pe that all thronh w
the conntry pnrishes, in pnrsuance of the nu
ab ove resolution, delegations of repre- o
sentative mnen will le chosen us early as o
mpraeticable to attend the State Conven
tioln, ill New Orleans, on the second ifonll
day of Januairy (14th day), A. D. 1878.
And it is requested that the names of the
deegates selectedil, with their post office
address, will le forwardedl to the Secre- li
tary of this Assoeialtio at once.

Sto tion :
ple DEAR SIR :-Your letter of Sept. 19th,
mi- addressed to Charles L. Fisher, Esq.,
Treasurer of the school funds of the Parish
was duly laid before the School Board at
3e its last meeting. The Board considering
of that the implied censure of its course re
quired an official answer, by resolution
instructed nme to reply. The Board can
he not but think that in the multiplicity of
your duties you have confused this with
other parishes, iwhich have been less 9
ny rompt and used less exertion to inform
hT you of the exact condition of their school I
ilc affairs. Permit me to remind you that
4th every effort has been made by the Board
d to thorouglly post you in all matters rel- r
e tive to the schoos and the ditticulties
which would be encountered before the tl
schools could be convened. If you re- s
y member, a copy in full of the Treasurer's I'
accounts for the last two truins was
forwarded to the chairman of the inves
tigating committee in New Orleans, to ,I
which your attention was called, show_ el
ing only a warrant, for $1134 to credit "
1with suits and claims aga;inst the amount
of some $1500. Also that the Treasurer,
Mr. Fisher, wrote you regarding the
_ state or afftairs to which you replied 'that in
you appreciated the crippled condition of
4 the parish and regretted that the school i,
i funds now in the Treasury of the State th
dlid not afford you an opportunity of com- t
ing to the relief of the parish." Since f,
that time .t$00 have been apportioned'
divided among 12 wards; the Board does
not consider that amonut as in any de
gree a relief to the crippled condi- la
tion of the parish, and can adopt no plan C
by which 12 or more school houses as SC
teqnired by law can be built, rented or
repaired, f'iruishedtt or put in working ta
condition with that sum of money. The Li
Board is forbiddeni to exceed its revenue th
1 and the anmount of revenue received be
at this time is $800. The President of plt
I the Board in a communication to you
- some two months since, endeavored also p0
to explain the condition of school mat- Tf
ters, and hoped that he had shown the 1i
impossibility at that time of commencing G(
the schools without the necessary build- de
iins and without funds. The Board does
unot considered that there has been any
"omission" in reopening of the Public ted
Schools when there were no mlieans at ed
commanid to do so. Fully realizing the
value of Public Education and as evi- n
denced by accepltance of the olfice, willing COt
to give the necessary time anid attention cut
to its advancement, the Board still de
clines to attempt to canrry on thle Public Ex
Schools lluponl a credit basis or in any way He
to aceniuilate a dcet which there is no pot
assurallce will be paid. WhiO mensll are lea
in lhaind to convene the schools or when On
aplportionmllilelts are made shlowing a reans
onable probnbility of sustaining them,
the Boarl will feel at liberty to com
unlellce its labors. Ullaware of: anuv no.
glect of (duty, hut consulting its interpre.
tation of time uiblic interests, thie Board go
cannot understani d how the apprtion- n
iueit due the parish, and nieessary to 5 c
conveno the schools can Ihe withbheld c
when the schools cannot lie rie opened
without it. Aniy suggestions from you
to imeet the existing dlifficulties will be
willihgly entertainedt by the Board.
Very Respectfully y'urs,

])E.iR SIn :
Your letter ofl' October 1-th, has beem nati
perused with care. is or
Thle iundersigned disclaims any intention $5.
of inuputing blame to your Bloard in con- Adi
ncctcion with its managemenct of the Iot
)OL School interestsof your Parish, and cheer
folly accepts your repeated explanation
as accounting fully for the non-existence,
heretofore, of public schools therein.
Warmth of expression many, however, be
son allowed in behalf of the education of
rge nhudreds of children who are vegetating
n, in ignorance; and on this ground I would
an crave some indulgence toward this of
ard lice.
School houses which are owned by the
cnd Palish should certainly be repaired by
the the Police Jury; those which are rented,
jitii or which may have been donated for the
art- accoummodation of schools,. might, I
would suggest, be. put in ordot with a
Oil portion of the $1,124 60, apportioned
Dec., 1876, unless, indeed, your Treasurer
Rd- has been enjoined, by legal process, from
1et paying out that amount. (Your Board
will, I trust, defeat the enforcement of
claims for fictitious services, or not drawn
om out and certified in strict conformity to
ton law.)
aut If the buildings can thus be put in or
lie der, I would then respectfully suggest
to that your Board, or its Committee, sum
mon candidates foe teacherships before
it, and examine them in conformity to
the rules of the State Board of Educa
tion, (Supplement to page 54 of digest), so
ill that you may have competent teachers
tr" in readiness to open the schools as early
us as possible.
ly Towards the support of. such schools,
I. one, or even two, in each of the school
districts, you will have in the Treasurer's
hands, of the.revenue of 1877:

en You have a Teachers' fund of $1,100 00 t
)t. which will'probably suflice for even "24
* teachers for about two months from I
November, 15th, 1877. The December -
apportionment will probably amount to
about $1,600 00 providing teacher's sal
a- ries for about three months. Then
will follow the March apportiaonment .,
to strengthen your Board's efforts to
shkeep the schools.in continuous operation i
at for at least seven months, from the 1st i
lDecember, 1877. 5:
If desks cannot be supplied for your
n schools, an ordinary pine table in the
n centre of a roomn, or two or more such ta- a
of bles, or henches arolui d the roor,, with a ni
