A bill supplementary to the statutes il
repard to common schools being before
the House this morning, Mr.. Divine Econ
envy SANBoRN moved an amendment, the
purpose of which, as he explained, was te
exclude all colored children from the pub
lie schools. Mr.. SHARPsTEIN, of Milwau-
kee, said that he could Dot vote tor the
amendment. The city of Milwaukee
which he represented, was one of the
Democratic strongholds of the State. She
people there were generally about as
| sound on the negro question as anywhere
but colored children were admitted to all
the schools there. and while this was the
practice of his constituents, he should not
vote for proposition like the pending

the disposal of the Governor to be expen-
ded in care of Wisconsin sick and wound

sal as a general contingent fund, and
$4,000 as war fund; AID also reported

the Senate, which has acted Jointly with
the Assembly committee on Ways and
Means, submitted an elaborate report on
the State Finances, which we shall pub
lish at an early day, and introduced bill
levying tax of $4,000 for current ex-
penses for 1864, and one for authorizing the
borrowing of $35O,Ooo from the school
fund, to pay bounties to families of soldiers
for the period extending from the 1st of
July, 1868, to the 1st of Febru-
ary, 1864, it being estimated that the
amount Of the AID fund at present pro-
vided, will pay these bounties till the for
mer date From the payments now being
made into the school fund, it is evident to
the committee that the amount of that
fund to be loaned will be sufficient for
that purpose.

dolence to our soldiers and their families
was unanimously concurred in. The SEN
ate also concurred in the Assembly reso-
luton ordering 1000 copies of the Cover
