CoRPoREAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLs.-A Chi
cago police justice has decided that corporeal
punishment in schools, whether moderate or
excessive, is illegal, and constitutes an assault
and battery. The common sense Of the West
ern people will hardly stand such nonsense as
this. A teacher must either be allowed to
enforce discipline by proper punishment or by
expulsion. Without discipline a school is
worse than useless; and if discipline can only
be maintained by expulsion, the school will
soon be broken up. A judicious use of cor
poreal punishment is neither cruel nor un-
necessary, whether administered by parents or
teachers.

The Proposed Reunion of the Presby-
terian Church.


IT will be remembered that the General Assem-
blies of the two great branches of the Pres
byterian Church, known as the Old School
and the New School, at their sessions in
May last appointed special committees to con-
fer together, and see whether they could not
agree upon some common and satisfactory
basis of union for the two bodies. Those
committees comprise the names of such
distinguished divines as the Rev. Drs.
Beatty, Backus, Gurley, Reid, and Montfort,
of the Old School Church, and Adams, Hat
field, Fowler, Nelson, Stearns, etc, of the
New School Church, besides several distin-
guished laymen of both bodies. The late Rev.
DIR. Brainerd, of this city, was also one of the
New School Commissioners.
The committees are now in session in New
York. 1t is certainly to be hoped that they
may agree upon some basis of union for this
great and powerful denomination of Christians.
There is no good reason why they should not.
The form of Church government is identical in
both branches, and they have common Con-
fession of Faith. Although the quarrel which
thirty years ago divided the Church was a
very bitter one, yet the causes which pro-
duced it, and the parties to it, have now
mainly passed away. There has been good
deal of toning down of the theological ques-
tions which in part produced the separation.
Indeed doctrinal differences are no longer dis
tinctive of the two parties. The liberal and
rigid forms of Calvinism prevail more or less
in each. Moreover, the old relationship be-
tween the New School churches and the Con-
gregatonal body which, under the form of
'The Plan of Union,' prevailed quite extern
sively in some parts of the country thirty
years ago, has been mainly broken up. The
Congregationalists have assumed a more dis
tinctive denominational aspect and no longer
seek afiliation with the Presbyterians.
The slavery question, too, which really con-
stituted one of the most radical points of diff
ference between the Old and New School
Churches, has, in the order of Providence,
ceased to be any longer root of bitterness.
The secession of the Southern Churches has
also rendered union between the Northern
Churches more practicable as well as desirable.
There is, therefore, no good reason why the
Presbyterian Church should not be reunited.
The sentiment among the masses Of the laity
in favor of Union is practically unanimous.
The people desire it ardently. The power and
influence of the Church would be greatly aug
mented by it; the tendencies of the times favor
consolidation enthusiastically as well as politi-
cally; and the great interests of Christianity
itself protest against needless and unfounded
divisions.

Should an Officer be Paid for Doing His
DutVl

du OulCFE DC ldlu lOG HIS
Duty!
THE question whether a special reward should
be given to an officer of the Government for
the performance of what is merely his duty,
has been brought before us by seeing that the
Senate has passed a special appropriation of
$3.50, 900 to Captain Winslow and his crew, of
the Kearsarge, for sinking the pirate Alabama.
The law on the subject of prizes taken by our
men-of-war is peculiar one, and is of a char
acter which seems to US neither warranted by
sound reason nor justice. One-third of the
value of a prize goes to the Government, one
third to the commander of the squadron, and
the remaining third to the officers and crew of
the captor, to be divided pro rata according to
their salaries. As the Alabama was not
captured, a special appropriation is needed
to give their share under the existing law
and $l9OOOO has been appropriated for
that purpose. We mean no reflection on the
commander of the Kearsarge or her crew, as,
so long as the present custom is in vogue, they
are certainly entitled to as much profit for
sinking the pirate as they could have been had
they captured the vessel. But we think that
the whole theory of such claims is based on an
assumed right which will not bear investiga-
ton. naval officer is paid servant of the
Governnentr-he is paid for performing GER
tain work. That work is to cruise in pursuit
of enemies of the Government and seek to
overcome them. When, therefore, he cap
lures or sinks a Rebel gunbOat or a foreign
foe, he is only doing that for which he is paid.
He is educated by the Government, in order
that he may be able to do this very thing.
We do not think, therefore, that he deserves
any extra compensation. 1t may be years
before they can do the Government any of that
service for which they are paid, whether they
are successful or not. When, therefore, tn
time arrives when they can be useful, cal
they, in justice claim extra pay for doini
merely dutyY We think not. We canno
see, therefore, what claim there is III equit,
for any prize money.
Nor does analogy between the custom so ia
as other officers of the Government are con
serned, strengthen their claims. The pay
the army officers and the navy officers i
nearly the same. Yet our army officers do nc
receive a cent more for winning battle tina
they do for lying idle in camp. Gettysbur

IN a recent descent upon gambling-house
in New York the police arrested the whole
party present, finding among them no less
than eleven clerks and book-keepers. If EN-
ployers would pay little more attention to
the personal habits of their clerks, they would
not so often be astounded by defalcatiOns,
embezzlements, and thefts. No clerk can be a
gambler without sooner or later rObbing his
employer. The fact that any man visits such
places should cause his instant discharge from
any fducary capacity.

KentuckY,s Opinion.
THE Kentucky Assembly has very solemn

THE Kentucky Assembly has very solemnly
resolved-
"That this Assembly and the people of Ken
lucky are unalterably opposed TO negro suffrage,
whether unlimited or special, general or quail
fed and they do most earnestly protest against
the passage of any law by Congress which has
for its object the extension OF such suffrage In
any State or Territory"
We do not know of anything that would be
less likely to have weight either with the Con-
gress or with the loyal people of the United
States than a resolution of the State of Ken
lucky. If that halfhearted, neutral" and
behind-the-age community condemns public
measure, it is pretty good evidence that the
measure is right

THE STEAMSHIP Great Eastern has had her
bottom examined, and was found to be sound
and tight. She is to ply between the United
States and Great Britain and France the pre-
sent season, leaving Liverpool on the Goth of
March. She is fitted with every convenience
for two thousand passengers. We believe this
great vessel has never yet been made to pay
expenses. Perhaps, with the great amount
of foreign travel from this country likely to
be caused by the French Exhibition, she may
do better.

Sherman Yet the services performed by
these Generals were as great as those per-
formed by any naval officer. In fact, far
greater; and they were as brave and yrisked
as much as any Commodore yet we see, in the
allotment of the prize money, Admirals Porter,
Dahlgren, and Dupont receive over a hun
dred thousand dollars each. Is this Just to
our army oficers2 Clearly not. The Govern
ment is exhausting its already depleted Trea-
sury in paying extra moneys to servants for
doing only their duty. 1t is time that the Gus
tom be amended, and this unnecessary expense
at once prevented. There is no reason in
crying that the war is past, and that no
new claims will be made. We do not know
what may come in the future, but even if
not cent should be paid, the principles of in
justice remain the same, and demand correc-
ton on our statute books.

A PrOtest Against Emigration to Brazil.

n iOhCob n SuAhob 10 bTaLlls
THOMAS X. BEECHER sends hearty remon-
STRANGE from Rio de Janeiro against any further
emigration of poor mechanics and laborers
from the United States to Brazil He says
those that are already there are in condition
of great distress, as it is impossible for them
to compete with the slaves and cheaper work
ing men in doing the ordinary labor of the
country. well-managed colony, he thinks,
might succeed, but for solitary poor men it is
poor place.
Why any American laborers should choose
to emigrate to such a country as Brazil, when
there are millions of acres of fertile lands in
our own country which may be occupied,
free of cost, under the Homestead act, we are
at loss to imagine. Even the Rebels who
went to Brazil at the close of the war have,
for the most part, become disgusted and re-
turned. There is no country on earth where,
all things considered, the laboring man has so
good a chance and may enjoy so many of the
blessings of life as in the United States.
