'TltE directors of one of the school districts in McLean county, Illinois, resolved to build a separate school bouse for the accommodation of the colored children, four in number, of which four but half finally attended at the new school house. For these two a separate teacher was hired. Several taxpayers of the district thereupon prayed the Court for an ii'junction against 6ueh a misappropriation of the public funds, and the case being car ried up the injunction was affirmed and made perpttual. Thus ended the cp-a-ate-scbool experiment iu Illinois, as the opinion of the Court was general in its terms and will block all future at tempts to set up the separate system." The Veecher scandal within the past wiek has somewhat abated. The only mention of it worth repeating are the newspaper statements that Tilton and Muulton, both, are preparing new statements relative to the trouble. lhrabless these forthcoming statements will prove to be juft so many more nice coils around their necks to hang them selves on.

Lallaaa Outrage. Within the pa -it few weeks terrible outrages bare been committed in a num ber of the Southern States. In the closing dajs of August an appaliog massacre took place at Coushatta, in Red RitrcT cirisL, xtnsiana. Gover- nor Keller, of that State has issued a LJj, pIaciog . r'elr,rd of fivt thousand dollars a head on all persons implicated in 'be Coashatu affair, and accompanied his proclamation with the following statement, which gives the reader some knowledge of the state of society down there : "To the Public: "Having felt it my duty to issue my proclamation offering a large reward for i the apprehension and conviction of the murderer in the Coushatta outrage, j and to the end that law-abiding citizens j of the State may fully comprehend the magnitude of the crime committed, and to iuduce and to render mora active assistance to the officers of the law, I j deem it proper to make the following (statement. Them facts are gathered from reliable information received at i ,iie Department: "Ou or about August 28, a body of persons belonging to a seini-aiilitary organization known as 'the hite League of Louisiana,' assembled in ths town of Coushatta, parish of Red River, in this State, for the purpose of com- peilirjg by force of arms the State of cers of that pariah to resign their posi tions. Tbess officers ere men of good character, most of them largely inter ested iu planting aud mercantile pur suits. They held their positions with the fully consent of an admittedly large mnjoiity of the legal voters of returning boards. The only known ob jection to them was, that they were of Republican principles. Frank Edger ton, the duly qualified sheriff of the i nnri-li in fctripf isuiir.linnee with the L of gf .

There they were set upon and deliberately murdered in cold blood. On the night before tbe murder a bdy of forty mem bers of tbe White Lesgue of Caddo parish, masked and armed, left the city 1 of Shrcveport, and were seen riding in the direction of the place where the murder was subsequently committed. The bodies were buried where they fell, without inquest or any formality what ever. "V. P. Kellogg, Governor." Lawlessness, as described by Gov ernor Kellog, bas induced the Admin istration at V ashington to issue the following to U. S. officers in the South : Department of Ji stice, Septem ber 3, 1874. Sir : Outrages of various description, and in some cases atro cious murders, have been committed in your district by bodies of armed men, sometimes in discuise, and with tbe view, it is believed, of overawiug and intimidating peaceable and law-abiding citizens, and depriving them of the Your attention is directed to an act of Congress passed April 9, 1SCG, entitled "An act to protect all persons in tbe United States in their civil r-ehl., and to furnish means for their vindication,' and to another passed April 20, 1874, entitled "An act to enforce the provi sions of the Fourteenth Atueidnient to the Constitution of the United States, and for other purposes ;" also to one passed May G, 1S70, entitled "An act to enforce tbe rights of citizens of tbe United Stales of this Union, and for other purposes," which, with their amendments, make these deeds of vio lence and blood within the jurisdiction of the General Government. I con sider it my duty, in view of these cir cumstances, to proceed with all possi ble energy and despatch to detect, ex pose, arrest and punish tbe perpetra tors of these crimes, and to that end you are to spare no effort or necessary expense.

Yon understand, of course, that no in terference whatever is hereby intended with any political or party action not in violation of law, but protection to all classes of citizens, white and colored, in the free exercise of the elective franchise and the enjoyment of other rights and privileges to which they are entitled under the Constitution and laws as citizens of the United States. These instructions are issued by au thority of the President, and with the concurrence of the Secretary of War. Very respectfully, Geo. H. Wiliiams, Attorney General. Letter from Wisconsin. Moaoz, Wis., Sept. I, 1874. Editor Juniata Sentinel and Repub lican: Dear Sir Monroe, the county seat of Greene county, is a beautiful town of about 3500 inhabitants, sitoa ted in the southern part of the State It is the terminus of a branch of the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. It is not built compact, like most o; the eastern towns, bet each house is sur rounded by a yard planted with shade trees, ic, which adds greatly to the appearance of the town ; but the style : or the buildings look rather odd to an eastern pen-on, being mostly one story or story aud a half with one story at tachment. The surrounding country is rolling, about qual!y divided between prairie and woodland. Tinber heavy enough for building purposes is quite plenty ; the different varieties are burr oak, white oak, hickory, walnut, bass ; wood, cotton-wood, quaking asp and sugar maple. From tbe latter in some parts of the county a great quantity of sugar is made. Wood for fuel is worth from $3 50 to $5 00 per cord, deliv ered. There are very few springs or running streams, but good water can be obtained by drilling to a depth of (rem 50 to 100 feet through limestone rock, at a cost of from one to two" dollars per foot, according to the sise of tbe bore. For drawing the water tbe windlass is m general use, but wind-wills are be coming quite an Institution in this country ; most of the large stock owners having them attached to tbeir pumps, ' the pi be of which is from $150. 10: $.00. Tbe soil is very fertile, needs j but little fertilising as yet, though some 1 are beginning to manure for corn, they ,.dTi.r.llj mim f.im Oil tr. ' Itii.kol. u'"; ..uu mv (v wuau of wheat and from GO to 10 bushels of shelled coru per acre, and that year in the same field, as crops arc not farmed in regular rotation like in tbe east. Grain of course is some cheaper than in the east, bnt as one man can farm more here than there, be cakes more with leis labor, provided it is a good season, which this bas not been, for the drouth and chinch bugs destroyed the wheat "C oats crop almost entirely, borne laruers with over 400 acres did net have a single bushel of wheat ; some had only Ave or six bushels, others got about their seed ; and five or six bushels per acre was considered a good yield. Corn is also injured a great deal, es pecially when adjoining a wheat field. As soon as the wheat was cut the bugs attacked the corn , where they first entered tbe field they killed it com pletely ; but on the whole it is thought it will make something over half a crop. Indeed, I have nowhere seen in this we-tern conntry as good corn as I saw on Jonathan Keiser's firm between Salem and Tbomp&ontown. lbere are a greater or less uumber of these bugs here every year, but the present yoar their depredations have been greater than ever before known. Many per sons in the east suppose them to be something like the potato bug, (of which there is also a liberal supply here,) but that is amistakeu idea; tbty are a small black ily with silvery wings, emitting an odor when crushed, some thing like a bed-bug. They de not eat the gram, but get on the stalks and extract the substance. The grass hoppers bare not visited tbis ection yet, but they are expected in a year or so, as they are still drawing closer. The climate here is considered very healthy, but 1 think the extremes are too great. The winters are long and cold, fram 30 to 36 degrees below xero, and in summer it goes to the other ex treme, from 110 to 120 degrees in the shade. If we had the western soil on the hills of Juniata I think it would be preferable in many respects to a great psrt of the we.-t ; but as the " moun tain would not go to Mohammed, Mo bammed bad to go to the mountain." D. W. W. The Lock Haven Republican says : "On Sunday morning of last week, says a correspondent, at Farrandsville, a little boy made its appearance at that place, begging for something to eat for his parents, who, be said, were in wait ing for him some distance np the road, in a very destitute condition. Several persons went np to learn tbe truth of tbe story, and found it to be too true. The mother, who had just given birth to a child, was lying on the ground with a stone for a pillow, suffering from hunger and exposure, and the father was too loyal to leave her even to se cure food for herself and those depend ent on him. The kind-hearted neigh bors did all tbey could to alleviate the Bufferings of the strangers, and made t hem as comfortable as was possible. The child lived about two Lours, and was bnried at Minersville, a little town up in the mountains. No one seems to know anything about the party, who ap peared to have walked a long way." im The Democracy don't ear White Man's Party, but they are anti-civil rght and , mixed acbMla, and that' th ram thing.
