Im accordance with the request of a number of colored citizens of Washington and Georgetown, Messrs. Charles King and Alfred Jones, two of the members of the Board of Colored School ‘Trustees, met the colored people of this city and eorgetown at Union Hall last night discuss with them the differences now existing among the trustees. William Syphax, the other trustee, declined to be present on the occasion, in “view of the fact that the Senate has directed one of its eommittees to examine into the ad- ministrations of the trustees and the condition ofthe schools.” There was quite a number of well-known colored citizens present; among Alderman Stewart, Councilmen Hatton, er, and Johnson, Messrs. George T. Downing James We : Bowen, Dt. C. B- . Walker Lewis, Joseph Brooks, and others. Among the white were present Dr. J. x , Colonel E. B. |, J. George Martin Cronin, J. B. Adams, Alderman m, Councilman Williams, and Mr. A. ‘wton, e meeting was called to order by Rev. Anthony Bowen, J. E. Johnson read he proceedings of the Georgetown meeting in ference to the call of the meeting, also the Alderman C. A.'Stewart was sclected as Chairman with Mr. Henry Johnson as Secre- tary. Nr. Stewart, on taking the chair, made a few remarks, in the course of which he said he came for information. Last year he was working up ty a point and now had reached that point, and he l» lieved that the time had arrived when there should be but one Board of Trustees and one class of schools. Washington had appropriated ler full proportion for the colored schools, but the amount appropriated by Georgetown’ was not sufficient to support the colored schools with 7 teachers, and if there was but one Board Georgetown would have to look out for herself. ‘The letter of Mr. Syphax, published in Tur STAR of yesterday, was re: Mr. J.T, Johnson stated that he had recently learned that the Senate had appointed a com- mittee to examine into the conduct of the schools and suggested that the most practicable course for the meeting to take was to appoint a committee to obtain trom the trustees the in- formation asked for. Mr. King said the Senate Committee was not to inquire into the administration of the Trus- tees, but the manner of conducting the schools. Dr. Purvis said that it wax clear that a serions difference exists in the Board by the fact that the Senate had appointed a committee to ex- amine into the conduct of the schools—it was the disturbance in the Board which had prompt- ed the appointment of this committee. He en- dorsed the suggestion of Mr. Johnson as to a committee being appointed to obtain the intor- mation sought. They were called upon to pay their proportion of taxes, and if colored men were allowed to sit with the fathers of white childres in the Councils, their children had as much right to sit in the same schools. What is enough for the parent, is not too good for child. The humblest colored man now had the privilege of walking into the street cars an taking a seat beside the first ladies of the land— there was no distinction there—and a law had been passed removing distinctions in hotels, &c., and it should not be kept up in the schools. He regarded the calling of the meeting unfortu- nate, and he offered @ resolution declaring that there shail be no white schools nor no black Schools, but one school for all. | Applause and cheers. Mr. Hatton offered an amendment providing for the appointment of a committee to conter with the Congressional Committees on the Dis- trict, and ask the of a law to carry out the former resolution; which was accepted. Mr. Edward Ambush said that there was not such a representation of colored men present as could be wished; and no resolutions should be adopted. Let the Senate committee investigate the canse of the trouble existing, and we will and roust abide by their action. Somehow the tees of colored could not furnish the citizens with their reports, or else they had none to make. The press was always the mouth- piece of every cause, but in reference to the i the colored schools supreme silence Teigne ev. A. Bowen said they did not consider that this meeting was to take any advance more- ment, but was to reconcile diiterences Sristing een the trustees and the people. He «id not think that the meeting should pass such a resolution. The report of the trustees was what was wanted, and now it seemed that some did not want to hear any statement. This meeting could only advise. Dr. Purvis asked if this meeting had the right to question the Trustees? They were appointed by the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Bowen replied: ‘We made them: they get their power from the sovereigns, and the People are the sovereigns.” ‘Mr. Freeman said ‘y should go to Andrew Johnson, for he appointed them. Paggtenee) Mr. George T. Downing said that he was glad the meeting had been called, and such an as- semblage was present, yet he doubted whether there would be satisfactory results, for the statements, if made, would ¢2 parte, as bat two of the Trustees were present’ He was op- posed to colored men making such distinctions as they had. The Franklin School was clused against them, and if a colored eb was admit- ted, it was charged that it was an artful A, and that it reflected on them asc ie considered that the colored men were entitled now to all the rights of citizens. Mr. Archie Lewis.—“Where were you last Tear on the School 43 st ir. D.—Where I have ever been—fighting again-t proscription.” [Applause.] He was op- pesed to th« abolishment ef the Beard last year auee there was then danger that the city might be in the hands of their political ene- if it had been the case they would @ much worse than b wach A purpose. Mr. Bowen offered as a substitute a resolution requesting Mr. King, one of the ‘Trustees, to ex- plain the differences in the Board. Mr. Hatton op) the substitute, believing, ashe did, that the whole truth could oniy be arrived at by the appointment of a committee ion the Trustees. Alfred Jones, one of the board, said he was ready to reply to any questions. Mr. Peters urged that such a resolution as that odiered by Dr. Purvis should not be overlook - T. Johnson said that he was noth © : yone, and that it was unfair citizens to treat with coatempt the lat board serving without compensation, am tw lay the whole subject on the table. arther debate as to the mann Alter some which the meeting had been called, a motior adjourn was carried.
