The Board OF Education Of Chicago (except a
ew sensible membars) have practically declared in
avor OF an am0gamation OF the white and black
races. This is the only Interpretation which can
be put upon their action admitting negroes to the
common schools ut the city. When, how or where
the people of this municipality have expressed
preference for such & nngling we do not know
unless it was in the election of the men VIII" have
rod. u u
lion, now so generally known, is a serious il iury TO
he public educational institutions. There is in
he great masses Of the people, a natural ard
proper lnathing Of the negro, which forbids con-
act with him as with leper. This sentiment is
outraged by bis introduction into the common
schools; and it will be found, we think that people
will torego education for their children, or will at
east, seek it at their private expense rather than
subject them to the contamination of such an asso-
ciatIon.

which the Times saws "eXcited but q small amount

attended, The money presentation, which is in

United States" was deferred to another day.

a returning thanks, characterized this war as an
advent of "Divine mercy" We should be glad to
Know what Cheever's notions of "Divae wrath

advent of ''Diviue mercy" At the close of his
speech, the Reverend butcher expressed the follow
ing opinion as to the results of the
"Ihe North, he thought, would never prosecute
the war with vigpT success. The military con-
quest of the South would become an mpossibiliry
unless the North threw off all disguise and timid
half-measures by prociaimng the total abolition of
slavery throughout the length and breadth of the
United States"
Not of Much Consequence.
Under tins head the Plttsburg Post has the fol-
lowing:
We observe a good deal of solicitudA in some of
the papers about the safety of Congressman Ely,
who went one Sunday morning, when he ought to
have been at church, to the battle of Bull Run,
and has never come back In our oninion it is Of
very little consequence whether Congressman Ely
ever comes back.
