School Directors OF the city Of MeadVllle.
The plaintiff Is q negro having children ot
3 proper age to be admitted 10 the public
schools Of that city, but who were refused
admission. Plaintiff applied Tor q writ Of
mAndamus against the directors 10 com.
pei their admission. The directors, the
respondents, answered that plaintiffs
children were negroes, and that by section
81, act OF Assembly May 5. 1854, the Board
Of Control having established separate
school for negro aud mulRtto children In
their district, they were not compelled to
admit them into the schools where the
white children were. The Court, Hon.
Pearson Church Presiding Judge, In
very elaborate and learned opinion, held
that the 2lst section ol the act Of 1854 was
violative OF the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
amendments Of The United states Oonsti-
tuition, and hence unconstitutional and
void. A peremptory mRndAmus was or.
dered to be issued, requiring and com.
manding the respondents TO admit the

The case was argued before the Court

advisable that the Indian Agent at said

NOR that Sitting Bull has sent emissarleS

there are about6 800 Indians. Five hun.
