Fred Douglas, the acknowledged leader
of the negro race, was married in WASH
ington on Thursday of last week to Miss
Helen Pitts, white lady who is said to
be of rather prepossessing and engaging
appearance. 1t is satd that the colored
element of Washington city are highly in
dignant because of this marriage, as they
say that the venerable Fred has shown a
disposition for some time to cut himself
aloof from his race and this marriage con-
firms their suspicious, and he will lose
much of his acknowledged Influence with
them in consequence of it. We are some
what surprised at this opposition, however
as Fred has simply given them a striking
lesson on the equality of the races.

The United States Senate Committee on
Education and Labor have at last agreed
on an educational bill that is expected to
meet the views of all interested. The bill
which they have decided to report is very
similar to the one, gist of which we have
heretofore given in these columns. 1t
provides for the appropriation of fifteen
millions of dollars the first year, fourteen
millions the second, thirteen millions the
third, and thereafter a sum diminished by
one million Of dollars yearly from the sum
last appropriated, until ten annual appro-
priations have been made; and that these
several sums shall be expended to secure
the benefits of common school education
to all children living in the United States
The education referred to is to embrace q
knowledge or reading, writing, arithmetic
grammar, geography and the history of
the United States, together with other USE
full knowledge and arts of industry when
practicable, and such instruction is to be
free to all, without distinction of race, ma.
tivity or condition. The annual appropri-
alton is to be divided among the States
and territories in that proportion which
the number of persons over ten years of
age who cannot read and write bears to
the whole number of such persons in the
country, according to the census. Another
feature of the bill is the provision that one
tenth of the money allotted to each State
may be used for the better education of
teachers. 1t is not the intent of the bill
to establish an independent system of free
schools, but to aid in the development of
the necessary system, and it is not intend
ed that any part of the money shall be
used for the building or renting of school
houses, except where a community is en-
tirely without reasonable common school
advantages. The bill further provides for
the appointment by the President of =
commissioner of common schools for each
State and territory, whose salary shall be
between three and five thousand dollars
annually, and who shall carry out the OBJ
jects of the bill. The question came up in
the committee as to the advisability of
distributing the proposed fund through
federal officers, and, in Difference to the
States rights sentiment developed in the
discussion, it was finally decided to leave
it to the President to determine through
what channel the money should b. distri-
buted to the several States.
