For Sectarian Schools.

The question of the appropriation Of
public money for private or sectarian
institutions, which was debated for
several days during the consideration
.sfthe District Il Columbia appropria-
tion bill in connection with some ap-
preparations for charitable institutions
in Washington, was fought over for
four hours in the house. On the
former occasion the contest was man
aged by Mr.. Linton, a Michigan re-
publican, who is one of the pronounced
A. p. A. members in congress. That
contest was successful, and by a vote
of 143 to 1856 the bill was recommitted.
The bone of contention was the How
ard University, a colored institution Of
Washington, for which an appropria.
tion of S32, 800 was inserted in the sun
dry civil bill on motion Of Mr.. Evans
(republican), of Kentucky. There
was no opposition and no debate on the
item at first. Later Mr.. Hsiner (re-
publican), of Nebraska, in whose tenn
porary absence the amendment was
adopted, rallied his forces against the
appropriation on the ground that il
was both private and sectarian in
stitution, school Of theology being
maintained by the university. The
appropriation was coupled with pro-
viso that no part of it should be used
for religious teaching, but Mr.. Hainer
insisted that it could not be denied
that it was in sense a religious insti-
tuition.
The appropriation was carried 1877 to
107.
