fore the association was the report of the
committee on constitution and bylaws A
constitution for the government of the rs

and was adopted. The committee from the
association which was appointed to wait on
the Commissioners. reported that it has
visited the Commissioners and submitted to
the association relative to the school facili-
ties of South Washington, and praying for
the appointment of some colored represen-
tat1Ve from that section of the city upon
the board of school trustees. The commit
tee was then enlarged, so as to impress
upon the Commissioners the character and
standing of the gentlemen who comprise
the association. This committee will wait
UPON the Commissioners tomorrow at 10
am, to further urge that Rev H c. Rob
inson be appointed the trustee for the
colored schools in South Washington Some
OF the members of the association opposed
visiting the Comm sSioners, as they thought
that the petition would receive very little
attention at the hands of the Commission

that the Commissioners would give it re-
spectful consideration, and it was decided
