Mr. Patterson said 1 was overruled in the committee in thie matter, aud I tee! it to be my daty to state how the bill stood previous to that amendment, as iam in favor ef the bill as it originally stood. The bill ignored the qnestion ot race and color entirely, leaving to the sebool board the duty of organizing the schools in the District as they should see fit. providing for mixed schools or separate schools. Now, sir, [ do not ditter with the majority of the cominittee as to privciple, but as to policy, in this matter. I think this amendment witl tend to hee apy ta schools of the city, or to put them back at t ten or fifteen years. Al! preju:tices resting upon mere race sid color, which are plgstcal, are temporery and transitory; bat those ditlerences wh 'e intellectual and moral are the ground Of prejudices which are more stabborn. My this Dill, to give to the idea was, in drafting colored children an. the b t possible education which we couid in tet; to lift them up, if possible, to the S:me level of intelligence and morality; and then these prejudices, which are transitory, will Pass away, and the children of diiterent races and disferent colors wil! mix in the schoo! MR. SUMNER SAID ~On that motion (to strike oat) [ask for the if that clause is struck out 1 shall oppose the Dill to the last. I consider that that clause ix the vital part of the bill, which will mate this bill a benefaction to the District. B: law than any from human power correct in principle must be correct in practice. When the proposition for the abolition of slavery im the District was brought forward we were told that it was correct in principle, but that it woald not work well—that it was not practical. So when the proposition was brought forward to give the colored people the right to testity in court, We were assured shat it was correct in | epi but that it would not be practical. e same objection was made to the proposition that colored people should ride in the horse- ears; and I was gravely told that white people Would not use the cars if they were d to colored people. The ition prevailed, and Pe and others know whether any injary there- m bas been dove the cars. Then. again when it was pro) to give the ballot to all it Was announced it might be correct in prin- ciple, but that it was not practical, and | . wan seriously assured by an eminent citizen tha: it would bring about massacre at the polls. Now that it is proposed to apply the same prin- ciple to the schools, we are again assured with equal seriousness and gravity that though cor- rect in principle, it is not practical. Sir, I take issue on that general proposition. I insist that whatever is correct in principle ie practical The provision whieh my friend would strike out simply to carry into education the same princi- ple which we have carried into the court-room, into the horse-car, and to the ballot-box; that is all. If there be apy argument in favor of the provision in these other cases, allow me to say th is stronger in th ool-room, inasmuch as the child is more essionabie than the man. You should not life with arule that sanctions a prejudi eretore do I insist, especially for the sake of children, tor the sake of those tender years most susceptible to human influence, that we should banish arule which will make eg, Se ap with a separation which will be to them a burden—a burden to the whit for every prejudice is a burden to him who hap it.and @ burden to the black, who will sufer always under the degradation.” m: more umd or reason in discriminating as to color In the es- tabliebment of the common schools of the Dis- no to tent if the Sevate refuse to blot out this amend ment. lIonly wish to leave it to the Senate to decide.

REVELS | said—In regard to the wishes of the colored | people of this city, 1 will por ped Say that the trustees of colored schools and some of the most intelligent colered men ot this place have said | to me that they would have before asked for @ Dill abolishing the separate colored schools and putting all children on an equality im the com- mon schools if they had thought they could ob- | tain it. “They feared they could not; and this is lsthe only reason why they did not ask for it be- | | fore. 1 tind that the prejudice in this country | to color is very great, and I sometimes fear that it is on the increase. For example, let me ‘ut how colored people | act. it matters not how well they bebave them- selves, how well they deport themselves, how | intelligent they may be, how refined they may | be—tor there are some colored persons who are pene of refinement, this must be admitted— he prejudice againet them is equally as great as it is against the most low and degraded’ col- ored man you can find in the streets of this city or any other piace.
