Want No Separate Schools.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, March 22.-Counsel
for John Taylor and other colored citizens of
Kennett Square secured writ of alternative
mandamus in court here yesterday to compel
the School Board of Kennett Square to admit
colored children to any of the schools of that
place. The School Board recently decided to
establish separate school for negro children,
and this aroused much opposition among the
negro population. A hearing will be held on
March %.
The case is ofpeculsr interest because Ken.
nett Square was an early center Of the anti
slavery movement, and in the Friends Meet
inghouse in this vicinity and at the Longwood
Meeting William Lloyd Garrison, Lucretia
Mott and many other eloquent abolitionists
addressed large meetings in the exciting days
prior to the Civil War. In few places was
the doctrine ofthe equality fthe races preach
ed with greater fervor than in Kennett Square.
The petitioners in their appeal presented to
court aver that the school authorities are VIC
lating the law by discriminating against negro
children flor no other reason except that they
are black"

Sober Judgment.

After weeks Of consultation and planning
to build "a greater and more beautiful Balti'
more by the Mayor and select committee,
common sense is now at work and some OF
the plans are being opposed. When the
widening Of certain streets on one side for a
few blocks was agreed upon We thought the
irregularity Of width would mar rather than
improve the appearance Of the city, and now
this feature of the committees plans are being
criticised and opposed. Pratt and Light
streets should be wideued for the convenience
of traffic on them, and few short streets in
Southeast Baltimore might be improved, but
the other improvements agreed upon are both
unnecessary and altogether too expensive.
The spirit of change and improvement ran
riot for some weeks, but sober Judgment has
concluded that some alleged improvements
would not be improvements and the great ex-
peuse to make them has called halt.
