There is intense fssliug il San Fran
cisco about the attempt of the school
board to force negro children into the
schools '1or whites. The laws Of Cali.
fornla require that negroes shall be
educated IN separate schools, but IL
majority Of tho school board Of San
Francisco has decided that such dis.
elimination is against the spirit and
moaning OF recent amendments to the
Federal Constitution.

Extend tho Time.

The bill introduced into the Senate, to
provide for an extension of tho time for
the collection of taxes, was reported
upon favorabiy about week since by
the committee to which it was referred.
No further aotie- that VIC have heard
Of, has been taken either in tho House
or Senate. We understand now that
the Comptroller General will not un-
dertake to extend the tiue, without
direct authority from the Legislature.
1t has been tue general expectation that
the frat Of March would be fixed upon
as the limit. There is urgent necessity
that the Legislature should take action
in the matter. The money stringenoy
can hardly be said to have abated, and
ahere are large numbers of people who
cannot pay by the 5th Instant. We call
upon the General Assembly to regard
this state of things, and to act prompt
ly TO-DAY. There is great uneasiness
and anxiety among our people on this
subject. They arc very much harassed
about it. They are entitled to all the
relief which an extension will givo.then,.
And they are entitled to respectful con-
sideration of just aud reasonable de-
mands.

CA1S.-Not he who killed Abel, but
he who said in Congress, The other day,
in reply to speech of Mr.. Robbins, OF
North Carolina:
swell. sir. it may DO that, in tho gen
tleman's opinion. negroes have never
produced anything. I wonder if the
gentleman ever. read history. Did he
ever hear tell Of any persons of the name
of Hannibal, Hnnno,. of Hamilear, of
Euolid-all great men of ancient times
OF AGsop. and others: No, sir, no; for
that kind of literature does not como to
North Carolina. It grows, it ilourishes,
on the free mountain peaks and in the
academies of the North. That kind Of
literature comes to such men as Wendell
Phillips, as Lloyd Garrison, as Charles
Sumner, as benjamin Butler, and other
distinguished men, men OF the North,
men that are thinkers, men that do not
croak, but lot the eagle ever soar high
in thu conception of high ideas. They
arc ideas that belong to free people;
they are not consistent with or oonso-
nant with slavery. No, sir; they do not
tell the negro of Euclid, the man that in
his JOY cried out, Eureka, have found
itr"
One Cain slaughtered his brother for
jealousy; the other murdered the facts
OF history out OF sheer ignorance. But
ler & %. must have enjoyed the state
ment we have Just quoted.
