chase site for coaling station for
the Navy Department and other Co.
vernment uses at Forc Point, Port
Royal. South Carolina, and it was in
definitely postponed. Gordon, of

and City Council OF Atlanta, Georgia,
in favor OF having the bill making that
place . port of delivery recommitted

of Connecticut, Gilbert. Ingalle, Nor
rill. of Vermont, Schurz aud Sprague
being among those who voted in the
negative. Alcorn, of Mississippi, said
the vote just taken indicated tho fact
that the Republicans had become tho
roughly deinoralized on the subject
of civil rights. and he felt CON
strained to vote against the bill
1t could be construed in no other way
than as an intimation that if the trus-
tees OF the school choose to do so, they
| might exclude colored children from
its benefits. Morrill,. of Vermont,
denied that such construction
would be justified. He hoped this in.
stitution, which was private ono,
would make no distinction on account
of color. The bill Was then passed
without division. Aicorn voting in
the negative. ltEI
