The undersigned, a minority of the Committee on Colored

Frederick, requesting said Committee to inforrn the House on
the question as to exactly how white it was necessary for a
man to be to entitle him to vote at a school election hereafter
in this State, beg leave to report: That they have had the
matter under consideration, and from the difficulties, Consti-
tutional and otherwise, which encumber this delicate ques-
tion, find it impossible to determine the matter with sufficient
certainty to enable them to do otherwise than report the or-
der back to the House with the recommendation to the next
General Assembly, to so amend the statutes of this State as
to make them conform in this particular to the Constitution
of the United States, which is the supreme law of the land,
