HE QUESTION OF mixed SCHOOLS II
BROOKLYN.

New YORK. Sept. 13.-Judge Gilbert, of the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, to-day rendered Q
decision in civil rights case, wherein VIM.
II. johnson, colored man. sought to compel
a principal of public school to admit his
son thereto, instead of sending him to 0
school provided for colored children. The
Court held that the common schools are a
public charity; that the benefits conferred by
them are free gift from the State, and, like
every other donor. the State may prescribe in
what manner and upon what terms and con
|ditions the gift may be enjoyed.
In conclusion, Judge Gilbert says that the
statute, by guaranteeing equal privileges, does
not confer the right to enjoy them in com
non with any class of persons or in any par
|oicular school, and that nothing has been
shown from which can be inferred that the
-elator has been deprived Of an equality of
privileges to which he is entitled The mo-
ion for mandamus is denied.
