■with the President and cabinet about
the extra session of Congress, the

tor libel. The Times at divers times

It is useless to attempt to keep down
the question of Prohibition No pub
lic question has ever yet obtained such
a universal hold on the minds of the
people, Agitating the question will
certainly produce beneficiary results,
whether Prohibitionists are successful
in securing the passage ot prohibatory
laws or not: it gives better and more
general information regarding the evil
of intemperance, besides the saloon
men will be more considerate and
careful in preventing these evils.
Wm, H. Council, the negro Profess
or of the lltintrville(Ala,)schoo], has
made himself some reputation for in
truding into the ladies coach on pass
enger cars. Some days ago he, with
a lot of his pupils, took his seat in
the ladies’ coach on the W. & A The
whits ladies gave them entire posses
sion by retreating into another coach.
It now happens that in the report that
Commissioner Bragg delivered a pri
vate opinion relative to Council's
ejectment from a ladies’s coach on
the W. <fc A. road to the effect that
damages therefore would be sustaiued
by the Commission, is false.
Alioeit School Teachers.
A called meeting of the Board of
Education was held last week, Sena
tor Brown in the chair, for the pur
pose of doing some special woik. The
first question coming up for consider
ation was whether a white teacher
occupying a position in the colored
schools should be replaced by a col
ored teacher. The question caused
some discussion. Mr, Hoke Smith
favored the change in a speech of
some length, and put the resolution.
He spoke of the good effect which col
ored teachers would have over their
pupils, socially, religiously aud other
wise. Their influence over their own
race would be seen in the improved
condition of the children. The chil
dren would respect them 4j ol ' e than
they do the whites. Messrs ™anch
ard, Lowry and Mayer spoke feeling
ly in favor of retaining the present
white teachers. Mr. Smith withdrew
his motion The next question was
one quite as warm. Should a woman
he elected principal or a full grade
school ? It was well known that this
question was meau’t to cover the case
of Calhoun street school. Mr. Low
ry moved that sex should not stand
in the way ot promotion. Mr. Hemp
hill in order to bring the direct ques
tion up, moved that an exception be
made in favor of Mrs. Echols. Every
member was on the floor at once mak
ing speeches. The testimony was
unanimous that if ever an exception
was made to the rule, Mrs. Echols
should he that exception. But the
weignt of opinion was that there were
certain reasons why the principal
should be a man. His strong arms
were olten needed to suppress the un
ruly boys. Mr, Blanchard held that]
there was no need-'of an additional j
principal.
