Dem ocratic Love Tor Colored Children.
In a certain district in this State there
is d family of colored children whose
enumeration has been taken and the
money drawn thereon. Last spring the
chairman of the Board of Education, a
Democrat, called on the County Auditor
to inquire what was to be done with
these children, five in number, as they
were not admitted to the district school.
The Auditor informed him that they
must be granted the privilege or tue
money must be returned. At the spring
meeting of the Board the question was
presented by this Democrat aforesaid, he
vacating the chair for that purpose,
much to the astonishment of his Demo-
cratic associates in the Board; for, by
this act of Generalization on his part,
the vote granting the privileges of the
schools to all children in the township,
without distinction on account of color, I"
terrible to think of passed the Board,
he voting with the four Republicans,
the Board being composed of nine MEM
bers. For this act our Democratic
friend, who wishes to be honest, has re-
ceived much abuse.
Lately called meeting to distribute
contingent funds became necessary. On
assembling two of the nine members
were absent and both Republicans. The
Democrats were thus in a majority and
having tool in one of their members
who is spending much time in the pro-
fessed discharge of their duties of anoth-
er office, (the day of this meeting prob
ably counted in,) they determined to
revoke the former action of the full
Board. The discourtesy of such thing
weighed no more with them than the
parliamentary manner in which it
was done-the motion to reconsider
coming from one who had voted against
the resolution. 1t was put through and
the public money drawn on the enumer-
alton of colored children is to be used as
heretofore in educating a0hite Demo-
crdts.-[ CircIeu,Ae Union.
