The Exclusion Of Colored Children from
the White Public Schools.

The indianapolis Journal concludes its re-
view Of the decision OF the Supreme Court OF
Indiana, excluding colored children from
white public schools, with these forcible
words /" In its practical bearings the dici ion
is a mon stxous one. 1t draws its inspiration
straight from the dark and poisonous TO 'ntains
which colored the legislation and the judicial
DECISIONS Of fifty Years ago. Its effect will be
to entirely exclude a large number OF colored
children from all educational privileges, since
separate schools have been provided for them
in but very few localities, and under this de-
.cision they cannot be admitted to any other
1t is the drst fruits OF the Democratic victory"
The above is from the Cincinnati Gazette.
In Ohio where the school laws have been sub
iect for the last twenty years to the control of
the Republican party, separate schools are
provided tor negro children where the number
exceeds certain figure This would seem to
Indicate that the whole matter OF separate
schools u.as subject OF legislative action, and,
in case of dispute, OF judicial Interpretation
of the laws aforesaid We don't see anything
particularly hinged on Democratic success in
this decision Of the Supreme Court of Indi-
ana, which would have been the same what
ever Ear.v had carried the State. To say
otherwise is a shameful Impeachment OF the
court and the motive by which it is governed
in its action. 1t has laid down the law cor
rectly, by which the races are to be educated
separately, and not in common.-C Cincinnati

surroundings of the court:
"But to the unprivilege1 spectator OF the
processes Of justice in the courts Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, if he happens to be Of
European ancestry, the circumstances are not
agreeable. The assiduity with which the col
ored population OF the District pursue educa-
ton and knowledge in the lobbies Of the
courts OF criminal jurisprudence and in the
galleries OF Congress is mere prOpitlOus

City Hall for the purpose OF listening to Mr..
Harrington's vindication- he is person
truly loyal in every respect; in favor Of eman-

civil rights-was so overcome by the combina-

compelled to retire in haste from the premises,

GETTING THE BEST OF HIS PARIsHIoSERs.-l
Old Dr.. Strong OF Hartford was not often out |
witted. On one occasion he had invited
young minister to preach for him, who proved |
rather dull speaker and whose sermon was
I'll Ia Ia.
and as DR.. Strong lived near the bridge, about |
the time for the commencement # the after
:,oon service he saw his people tocking across
the river to the other church He readily I'M |
sierstood that they feared that they should hear
the same Young man in the afternoon. Gath |
sring up his wits, which generally came at his
bidding, he said to the young minister "My
brother across the river is very feeble. and |
know he will take it kindly to have you preach
to his sople, and if you will DO 50 viii give
you a note to him, and will be as much OBJ
liged to you as would to have you to preach
for me, and ! want you to preach the same
sermon you preached to my people this morn |
ang." The young minister, supposing this to
be commentator OF his sermon, started OH |
IN good spirits, delivered his note and was in
~ited to preach most cordially. He saw before
him one half of DR.. Strong people, and they |
mad to listen one hour and half to the same |
shumdrum sermon that they heard in the morn
ing. The understood the joke, however, and
said they would never undertake to run away |
from Dr.. Strong again. Worcester Spy.
