WASHINGTON.

WAsusNeroN, May 2s.-In the House
on motion of Mr.. Sawyer, the Senate
amendments to the bill to legalize and
establish pontoon railway bridge across
the Mississippi river at Prairie du CHEN,
were concurred in.
Mr.. Schofeld, from the Committee on
Naval Affairs, reported bill for the re-
lief of MercyAnn Hall, widow of Captain
Hall, of the Polaris, to pay her 1885,
the amount of his pay up to the date of
the 3lst of December, 1873, when the
officers aud crew of the Polaris were
paid of, and to authorize the purchase
of his papers, prior to his explorations,
at cost not exceeding $4,000. After
some explanations by Mr.. Schofeld and

The old gentleman says in his will that
there have been persons who have F"
injured him beyond redemption; and
who, il they had lived, or could live in
this world for one thousand years, could
never have made an adequate atone
ment for the injuries they did him,
and the "agonies Of mind they had
caused him to suffer, but he freely and
from his heart forgave them, being
assured that they are in the hands of
God, and if in His judgment they de-
serve to suffer, He will punish them
much more severely than | could.

Civil misunderstanding from me SUI
perfntendent of Public Instruc-
IiOn.
NASHVILLE, May 2s.-The following
circular appeared in this morning pa
pers:
OFFICE eF SURF Public ISsTRuoTIoS. !
NASHVILLE, May q. 1874.
To County Superintendents and Public School
Directors throughout the State Of Tennessee ;
The civil rights bill, now pending be-
fore the United States Congress, in its
provisions concerning public schools is
in direct conflict with the law of Ten.
nessee, under which the public school
system of the State is organized and by
which its officers are governed. 1t is
furthermore in conflict with the 18th
section of article ii of the Constitution,
which provides that no school established
or aided under this section shall allow
white and negro children to be received
as scholars in the same school, so that
what the bill commands our State Con-
stitution forbids. That bill has already
passed the Senate, and all indications
point to its passage by the House of
Representatives In view of the fact
that in many counties the schools now
closed are expected to be reopened for
the summer session in the month OF
June. and inasmuch as it is desirable to
avoid as far as possible the embarrass..
ments that will follow the enactment of
civil rights bill deem it my privilege to
suggest that for the present and until
further advised, no new contracts with
teachers for either white or eolored
schools be entered into by School Direc-
tors. By observing this suggestion much
complication and unnecessary expense
may be avoided Should the civil rights
bill fail to pass, then no serious harm
can have resulted from this admonition;
should it become a law in its present
shape, then further instructions from
this Office will become necessary, and
will be promptly given.
Respectfully,
J0HY N. FLEMING,
State Superintendent.

While Congress was in power such a

to pay floral honors 10 the dead. This
means that the graves Of Confederates
may be strewn with flowers with i'm

flowers or the hands that may place
them on Confederate graves. Such
action is creditable alike to a powerful
