Mr. Brown Moved to lay the bill on the table; lost. Mr. Arrison remarked thats majority of the com- mittee favored tBis bill, and proceeded to argue that it was a just measure, based on the census taken in 188, under the direction of the Com- Mmssioner of Education, which the courts had Gecided was correct. He would have no od- eciion to its being laid over, bat the subject had been fully discussed montas ago, He tar- ther urged that it was time for the schools to be uncer one head and one superintendent, aud tbere was really no necessity for a separate board of trusters tor cclored s¢hool: esers. Ball and Brown denivd that the courts had de. cided the question on the basis of the censas of 67, but it was on ike census of 156. Mr. Nal- ey suid that heand bis friends were in favor of what was just,and had yoted to carry out the laws of Congress. He would say te the gentieman (Mr. A.) that the course he had seen fit to tske would notdo him any gocd with the Maryman wivg in his ward. (Laughter.) The bill was laid over for cone week, and made the special order. Mr. Arrison from the same committee report- ed the bill introduced some time since by Mr. Chase providing thxt with the view of educa- ting the rising generation in temperance, there shall be prepared, printed, framed and bang up permanently in every public school room in the city, 8 school tem perance pledge, against the use of intoxicating drinks, and also against the use of tobacco in any form, to be signed voluntarily, and with the consent of parents, by scholars, bovh male and female, at such time as they shail Rave arrived at years of discre- tion, and sball be able to write a legible hand; the same pledge to be printed as a neat ticket, also to be signed by the scholar and counter. signed by the teacher as witness, and to be given to the scholar as @ reward of merit, to be kept as a constant reminder of the pledge ot temperance, and appropriating $1,000 to pur- chase the pledges. Mr. Juenemann the Dill was an outrage and that no one had any bus! to interfere with what shoula be the durtes of parents. M pot msult the good the bill but suggested that the ap- propriation be stricken out. Mr. Chase said that be would have no objection and he would see the pledges were furnished. Mr. Hine moved tolay the bill on the table; lost—yeas (Mesers. Hine, Juenemann and Russel) 3, nays Mr. Hine moved to amend by adding “and that every person, male or female, whose par- ents or either one of them indulge in the use of spirituous or fermented liquors, or in the use of tobacco in any form, shall’ be at once ex- ‘and be supplied ‘wih a ticket certifying the cause of his or her expulsion.” Mr. Nalley moved to add “orany (Laoghter.) Mr. Davis suggest- ed that Mr. Hine’s amendment should also ia- clude “tea and coffee.” Mr. Hine made a Jengthy argument in favor of bis amendment, if it was imtended to pass tbe bill, He denied the right of any school teacher to require his child to either sign a temperance pledge or join any certain church it was the duty of ihe fireside, and the parent was the person re- sfOnsible for the moral training of the child r. Chase was not surpriscd that Mr. Jeune- mann should oppose the bill, because if the children were brought up in the principles of temperance, the business of rum selling would soon be extinct, and the jails would be empty. Mr. Juenemann replied in an earnest manner, that every man bad a right to eat and drink what Ris constitution required Mr. Hine'’s amendmrnt was rejected, and after an amend- THE COURTS.
