chairman Of the School Committee Of the Board Of
Common Council, TO q bill which passed the Board
Of Aldermen some evenings since, making an ap-
proprAton 10 pay to the trustees Of coorcd schools
the amount found to be due them.
II 10 important that this bill should be acted on
at once, and / therefore urge upon you TO pass u
tonight
Mayor.
Mr.. Moore suggested whether II would not be
better to postpone the bill 80 that members might
examine It, For himself he had no doubt It Is
correct, as he had confidence In the gentlemen
whose names were signed to the estimates on
which the bill was based, and no expected to vote
for IT, But II anything could eIeite suspicion that
the bill would not bear examination II would be the
urgent communications presented In oonnsIion
with II; and viewed with regret this interference
In their legislation, and held all such acts In con-
tempt.
Nj. Peugh objected to tho bill, although he was
aware that II was Law, but because Of the inability
Of the Corporation to pay It. There were teachers
and should the city be compelled to pay for edu-
eating contrabAnds while they were unpaidl There
were men who had furnished supplies for the public
schools, which had been due for eighteen months,
and they could not bs paid. II these men Of the
Frssdmsns Bureau would stop uAing their pens on
this subject, and put their hands In their pockets
| and help TO pay for the education Of the coored
children they would do some service. Tho legisla-
tion Of Congress had placed burdens upon this city
which II was unable to bear Mr.. P. closed by
moving TO amend BY adding proViso, THAT no
part Of this appropriation shall be paid until the
current bills now due TO our citizens and the
teachers, and ali the expenses pertaining to our
public schools, be hrst paid
Mr.. Wright opposed the bill, and moved to amend
the amendmsnt Of Mr.. Peugh by adding "and all
| othar indsbtadnssa of this CorpOratiOn,h IL had
been stated that the city was hostile to the educa
ton Of the oolored children, but such was not the
faet-those respectable gentlemen who inform Con
grssS Of these things were doing the city grsa
Injustice.
Mr.. Mulloy said he would like to amend the gen
tlsmAn's speech instead Of saying respectable
Rentlemon,h to say "intOrlopsrs."
Mr. Dudley hoped the bill would be passed a
once. II was based upon the estimates Of gentle
men appointed 10 ascertain the amount due, ant
nothing could be gained by defeating the bill o
poStponing II.
