Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-12-31

stiute, last ThursiAy evening, IN behait OF |
the education Of the Delaware Freedmen, was
attended by large and intelligent audience,
In spite OF the mist Indictment and unfavorabls
weather. Judge Willard Hall presid d. and
DR.. VIM R. Bullock acted as Secretary. Ad
dresses were delivered by Francis L. King,
Hon. hugh L. Bond, Gen 4 N Gregory, and
Others.
Mr.. King spoke Of the practical workings OF
the Maryland Educational Association, and
stated some interesting facts In rsepeots to 1t
There are now 10 colorsd schools in operation

expressly built, IS we'll as 4 industrial schools
NOT assigned for purely dnoatioual purposes.
The oolored people, during the past year ha
raised $1,000 outside Of Baltimore, and &C.,
600 in the city toward the support iof the
schools. He considered that the education Of

necessity for tue welfare Of society that all |
citizens should receive instruction.
Judge Bond delivered an ad iress Of some
length, yet none too long for the pleasure. OF
the audience, who were not only eaarmed by |
the OF hand naipets of his etyle, but enter
tanned with the aptness OF his illustrations,
and fairly led captive ty his eloquence. lie
referred to the fact that the numosr who iu-
| augurated emancipation In Maryland was very
| small. Although ut that time perhaps 10, 600
people In the State were in favor Of emsnopa
ton with compensation 10000 of einanoipa
| tion at remote period somewhere beyond
eternity; and others Of compe nsated emanci-
patton at some time sill later, only twenty
| persons In favor of unconditional emancipation
could be got together, He said people who
were afraid Of "nigger schools" must, like
| frightened horses, be led up to them, and
made to place their noses right on them TO
be assured they wouldn't hurt. In Maryland
we build school houses and disappearing peo
pie kindly burn them down for us. Before
the appointment Of General Gregory to the
charge of freedmen in Maryland, Is had been
burned, and "the whole bay shore of the
State WAS illuminated with the light Of burn
ing school houses" One way to obviate this
diAioulty was to build the school house close
ly adjoining somebody else's house. This
could be done in Wilmington. In Kent and
Sussex this might not be practicable,
The Judge SAID it was useless TO expect laws
to be executed which were very far in nd 7aace
OF public opinion. For this reason the Owl
Rights Bill is practlcaliya dead letter in Mary
land. We must therefore, by tuch as the rs
sociations proposed TO be tstablishedin pea-
ware, educate the people. increase tbs width of
