President Hail presided, and Mr. J. G. Judd acted as Secretary. Rey Mr. Burier submitted a report from the special committee om the application of the Colfax Mission School, propos‘ng a resolu‘ioa “that this Union will coraially welcome two its fellowship ail officers and teichers of mission schoo.s in this city.” to which an amendment Was offered “that the above resolution shail « be construed to admit colored schools into niversary processioa.”” Upon the committee's renort and amendment resolution considerable discussion followed. Mr. Judd took ground against the expediency of admitting colored schools into the anuiver- rary, a= detrimental to the good feeling aud Prosperity of poth classes of schools. aad cited Precedents of whole cchoels reuring ;rom the Procession a: the lusi anniversary, to show that the white schools would not turn out with the colored. The colored people were no longer Our nurslings, and had the same privilege of their own separate anniversaries as the whites. While im favor of distinct organizations self, yet he would de sll im his power to sid the colored schools tm their advancement as a Gistinet class. Let the question be raised now, And if itis to be contended that the white and colored schools sre to be intersliced ang sand- ‘Wiched together, he should never consent to it. Mr. Williamson thonght the tim- ha yet arrived when the two schovis should form a union Dir. Thomas N. Chass eonld see no ‘why sn immediate union should not be formed. and thought the time bad come when w and colored children should march side by side im public procession. God recogniz-d no dis- tincuen of race and color, Bor could the whi! cbridven be injured or contaminated by associ ation wit negro children. Mr. Wm. H. White did not think the mterests et either class could be promoted by the dis- cussion of this question at this time, and thought that the time bad not yet arrived to consider in the Sunday Schools the equality or political rights of the celored le. There should de no rule made by which they should be foreed to mix together; uor indeed did he *bink the colored people desired it. For their own good, the colored bad best have their own wnichs; Gnd then if the whites have superior advantages, let them and the colored. Mr, Pratt said that he was Prepared to fayor the adoption of the first resolution, with the understanding that it spp'ied to tne officers and teachers of the schools, and aot the scholars. ‘He fnali; moved thai the whole mtter be laid over until another meeting could be fold at which there would be a larger representatiod gf the members of the Sabbath Sehool Union. The motion was adopted. Mr. White inquired whether, in view gf the hear approach of the regular auniverdiry, it ‘Was Rot Lect sary to make some arramg~ments to procure its success. Already had the South- erm schools of South Wasvington withdrawa from the Sanday School Union, and in all Probability the schools of East Washington ‘would soon follow. This would necessitate some consideration. The subject was talked over, when Mr. Judd announced that the ma- ter bad already been under consiaeration be- fore the committee appoint-d for the purpose: who would be ready to report at the next magte Pe Mr. Judd, read a letter from the “Second Baptist Churca be effect that the school ation withdrawing from the It wes then announced that the next meeting ‘would be beid at the call of the Secretary; and after appoimting 1 committee to fixa subject for duscussicu at that time, the meeting ad- purged, —_.—__—_ KELIEF FoR THE Poor —Mayor Bowen has made the following arrangements for the relief of the poor of this city, in accordance with the Fecent appropriation by Congre: Rehef will be given in the form of fuel, bread.
