REMARK We have the glove from
a most reliable correspondent, and it
is corroborated by other well known
citizens of that school District, who
look upon the proceedings OF the New
Bo:..d Of Directors, rs violent, illegal
and prompted by sectarian influence,
to get the school wholly under the
control of the Congregational Church
and the Iowa College. We have heard
Of similar proceedings in other school
Districts OF this City, by the same sec
tartan cliquc,that particular influence
might be brought TO bear through the
Common Schools for the benefit of Que
particular denomination of Christians.
We denounce all such efforts as the
basest assaults upon the harmony and
efficiency Of the Common School sys-
tenn, which should be kept Wholly
free from every Sectarian influence
whatever. For any religious sect to
60 sneaking into our Common Schools
with their plans of PROSECUTING, has
worked mischief wherever and when
ever attempted. We have long since
seen these attempts in Davenport, and
now that the time has properly arri-
we'd in which to speak, we enter our
solemn protest against that jesuitical
intermeddling in Common Schools
characteristic Of those who hover il,
and around Iowa College. The chill
dren of all religious sects attend GU,
Common Schools. 1t is Education
which they there seek and not religion
Religion can be Taught them at home
in Church and Sabbath Schools. Oul
Schools are not the proper place fol
proselyting.

THURSDAY MORNING JULY o

The FOURTH AT IIoRSITos The Fourth OF
July passed off quietly with us--mos. of the
gay otharios having gone TO meet the fair Ia
dies of our county, at the balls given in honor
of the day at Smelling and at Beasley's Ranch.
Our Mexican population seemed to partake
somewhat of the spirit Of Independence; sew
era Of them, next day, being found reelng on
the firm terra, with the hard below and the
blue above, and there remained until late
hour on the morning Of the fifth. a contri.
button was taken up in the course of the day
for the purpose of making balloon, which,
when completed, was attempted to be sent up,
but the wind having arisen towards night, the
ascension was deferred until the evening Of
the fifth, when away she went, and continued
to rent until the gass went out-whcn down
she dropped some four hundred yards from
the place Of starting. The boys were not sat
isfcd with this display and were bound to
have miniature Comet. The holes were soon
patched over, and this time turpentine was
used in the place of Alcohol-but, terrible to
relatel when young America had reached the
hight of fifty yards she took fire and vamosed
in blaze of glory.

alarmed the miners, as most of the fuming

sGbsided down TO the point at which it was at
the time Of the rain, but is (alling rapidly. \
