NEGROES IN WHITE Schools. The
Supreme Court of Ohio has just decided
case brought up from Hooking county,
in which the question of the right of
children of negroes to be admitted into
the common schools Of the State was de-
cided. The decision of the court was,
that the children of negroes have not
such rights. In Illinois the law itself
decides the question, to the effect that
the children of negroes shall not be adj
united in the schools with white children.
Yet in Chicago there is hardly a public
school in which white children and the
children Of negroes are not promiscuous-

LET Us ALONE The sound senti-
ment of the South seems to be embodied
in the following from the Petersburg
(Va. Intelligencer:
"Lct as Alone. Such SAYS a cotem-
porary, is the simple, brief, emphatic
demand of the South. Its all that is
required of the North 1t is a moderate
appeal to common sense and justice II
there is sufficient strength in the conser-
vatiye feeling in the North, that demand
can be complied with willingly and
cheerfully. If there is not--there may
be uttered the equally simple, brief and
emphatic determinations we will make
you let us alone, by having nothing to do
with you" Let the North be satisfied
that in the South there is no division OF
sentiment. Here we are unanimous.
The division and quarrel must be North
Of the Potomac. We rejoice to see that
we have strong friends there, who are
not afraid to stand up for the right"
Let us alone, means no John Brown
and his pixies, no underground railroad
operations, no incendiary documents to
inhame the passions Of slaves, "nind
your own business. and we will mind
ours" Is not this fair demand?

trict of Columbia in which to receive a

4" If your note is to be considered of
hostile character, then / have this 10 re-
ply: Regarding duelling as at variance
with the precepts of the Christian reli-
gion and the sentiments of Christian
people, and it being prohibited and de-
clared crime by the laws enacted by
the body of which We are members, |
cannot recognize it as justifable mode
of settling difficulties among men, even
in cases of unwarranted provocation. But
my personal rights and the freedom of
debate guaranteed by the constitution
shall defend whenever they are assailed, !"
Mr.. Branch concludes his published
statement by rcmarking:
" By those VINO are acquainted with
the penal code of this District, to which
my attention is drawn by Mr. Grow in
his letter. it will be readily understood
that no other course is left me than to
publish this narrative, and leave the
whole matter TO the impartial Judgment

1t is to be hoped that both gentlemen
may let the subject drop here.

The Doctor had bought his own dog of the

"a sharp lockout fof the darkey whenever he
