THE ARGUMENT.-The mandamus
case of Stoutmeyer %(colored) against
James Duffy ct al, School Trustees,
will, it is understood, be argued be-
fore the Supreme Court on the 1st of
MAY. The Board of School Trustees
offered to furnish the colored people OF
this city school room and a teacher,
but inasmuch as the negroes were too
high toned to send their children to a
negro school," and have gone to law
for the purpose of forcing them into
the white schools, and inasmuch as it
Is discretionary with the Board to es-
tablish a separate school for Negroes,
Mongolians and Indians" or let it
alone, we think it would be but even
handed Justice to let it severely alone.
Assuming that it will be found the
state law is not in conflict with the
Civil Rights bill nor the Act to en-
force the Fourteenth Amendment, we
would advise our colOred citizens here
after to save lawyers fees and send
their children to school in Louisiana
the only State in the Union, we be-
Iieve, where negroes are forced into
white schools 10y State or any other
law.
