was much excitement in this city to-day over
the election OF three members Of the board of
education, and other minor officers, owing TO
the TACT that a prominent Roman Catholic
clergy yman had announced from the pulpit

schools might be supported by the public
funds. A Catholic ticket was in the field. Two
members OF the present board are of that re-
lgious belief. The excitement called out a
vote OF over five thousand, which was unpre-
cedented IN the history OF New Haven school
elections. About fourteen hundred votes
were cast for the Catholic candidates, but they
were defeated, and the regular members elect
ed by majority OF about fifteen hundred.

Catholic ticket.

mean that the law shall say there must be no
separate schools for white and black; that the
white man shall be compelled to send his
children TO the public school along with the
black mans children, and IL won't be long
before they will not know there ever was any
