cans as calculated to break up the
schools already established, and set back
the cause OF education in that section
of the country where it is most needed.
Some objections, though not so forcible,
come also from the same source, to the pro.
visions Of the bill requiring hotels, theatres,
public cOuyeyances, &c., to make no distinc-
ton in the treatment Of their patrons. 1t is
possible that the Republican Senatorial eau
Gus, which appreciates the fact that the Adj
ministration party will have an unusually
heavy load to carry in the coming fall, may
conclude that it will be better policy to
postpone the question until the next session,
or, rather, to let it quietly so over without
action. Should the bill be amended to meet
the views OF part of the Republican sena-
tors it would not satisfy the colored Repub-
hcaus of the South, and should it pass in its
present shape it might drive from the sup
port of the Administration party some Of
another cluss.- Washington leleTam-New
