Resolved, That our Senators and Repre-

prompt action in favor of setting apart por-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.
The Republican members held an adjourn
ed meeting at abe Capitol tonight, to receive
the report of the Committee heretofore ap-
pointed to mature plan in order to reconcile
the conflicting views on the bill for the extern
sion of negro suffrage in the District of Col
umbia. 1t seems settled, both from the speech
es and private expressions of the members,
that no bill for that purpose, without restric-
tons, can pass.
The owners of building in which is held a
colored school, at Wyattsville, Nd, notified
the teachers of the school few days since that
it would have to be closed, as the laws of Mary
land prohibited the education of colored chill
dren. The teachers submitted the case to
Maj. Gen. Howard, Commissioner of refugees,
freedmen, &C., who directed the teachers to
continue the school as heretofore.
