Mr.. RUKENBROD moved to recommi,
the bill to a select committee of one, will
instructions to amend so that sin each dis

a vote of the district" and that "eacl
school shall consist of thirty scholars" sarf
Mr.. RUKENBROD said the amendment
proposed to increase the number to thirty
--t,oenty being too small for a separate
school. Also, in localities where, by a vote
of the district, they were willing to allow
colored children to attend the common
schools, the Democratic principle that sthe
majority shall rule" be adopted. There
can be no wrong in this proposition, and it
will allow colored children to be educated
in such districts and localities where they
have no schools of their own, and the num-
Der and funds too small to establish them
He hoped the amendment would pass.

Mr.. POND moved to further amend BY
striking out the word "colored" and in
sert "having distinct and visible admix
ture of African blood"

no mistake hereafter.

Mr.. Pond in the matter.
