TIE SCHOOL BIBLE QUEsTIoS-Ar0um.uf Re-
tore he Ctneinndti Saper.or Coart.-The interest
IN the Bible question before the Superior Court
IN Cincinnati is not abating, and citizens are
thronging the court room, the floor and galleries
being hlled. Judge Matthews, for the defense,
pegan the argument "Wednesday, and at the
noon recess yesterday had spoken four hours
Hon. Rufus King win make the closing argu-
ment for the plaintiff, and the decision OF the
court will probably not be rendered FOR two or
Judge Matthews took mp the first two ques-
tons suggested by the court; first, whether the
reading Of the Bible was teaching sectarian dog
with the reading Of the Bible when Catholics
refused TO send their children 10 school where
there was no religious instructions. In answer
to the first, he said religious instruction, as pro-
posed by the plaintiffs, was sectarian. The
Bible was read as aholy book, a revelation from
Heaven, which is a dogma held only by Protes-
tant Christians. The Jews held the New Tes-
lament TO be blasphem emous, and Catholics denied
that the Bible is a source OF truth except as in
terpreted by their infsllible church. There
fore, TO read the Bible i'm the way the plaintifis
propose would be establishing dognas held by
one sect as the Law Of that State.
In reply TO the second question, he said he had
no doubt Catholics held precisely the same
views that were held by gentlemen on the other
slde-that the State should provide religious in
struction. They now wanted 70 secularize the
schools-afterwards they would Try 20 strike n
bargain with those now attempting 60 have the
schools made vehicle OF religious instruction.
They would say, Let Us divide the school fund,
and give our children the religious instructions
We think Is right, and You give yours This
would follow n the decision in this case was i'm
favor of the plaintiffs.
He disclaimed being Catholic or n jew, OF an
inhdel. He had belief i'm the divinity of Christ.
He continued by saying that because he was a
Christian he desired 20 exercise the attributes of
Christ, to be just, TO be charitable 90 take into
the arms Of his humane sympathy all classes Of
men. He would abate nothing of his belief hut
he would at the same time be magnanimous b,
not compelling everybody else TO subscribe 90 his
creed. He charged that the ultimate result OF
the arrangement OF the plaintiffs was that,
Protestant Christianity was the established re-
lgion; that its teachings were essential 70 good
government; that because the church has not
power 20 compel people 90 attend its instruc-
tions, while the State has, therefore the State
must exercise il.

WALKER PARTY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
meRt Of a Central Committee, &c.-For some time
past there has been talk of a "secret circular
for the organization of Walker party" among
the politicians in Virginia. 1t now appears that
a circular, dated the 25th of October last, au-
thorized at an informal conference Of some of
the members Of the Virginia Legislature on the
day Of adjournment, when too late for fun
meeting Of what is called ''the Walker party of
the General Assembly," was gotten up to be
sent by a subcommittee, consisting Of Chas
Campbell and William Lovenstein, for signature
Of action, &C." This circular has been published
with list of the proposed Walker Central Com
mittee, but Ii does not appear that any of the
gentlemen so named have signifed their acqui-
escence in the scheme. The circular sets forth
that "withOut some such organization, the party
time to have its aims thwarted by foes, open or
secret; that the name for central commit
tee at Richmond, and from Congressional
districts, were suggested, and the per
sons named be requested to answer ~
The list embraces the names Of gentlemen of
Prominent i'm all parties-Whigs, Republicans
and Democrats. Among them Mr.. Charles s.
Darlington, President OF the james River and
Kanawha Canal; James A. Corwardin, editor of
the Dispatch; Mr.. Walter Taylor, q former Ad-
iutant General OfLec's army; Charles b. t,ne.
ID. Imbotien, ex-General of the Confederate
army; Thomas 8. Flourn0y, Whig candidate for
Governor I'm 1856; ID. q. Dejarnette, former
Democratic member of Congress.

The COAL TRADE.-The total amount of coal
-hipped by railroad and canal from this region
since the first of January, is one and half mil
lion tons, being an increase Of about IS per cent.
on the shipments Of last year up to the same
date. Our coal Is coming more and more into
tavor every day, and the trade must continue 20
increase. The amount Of coal shipped by cana
last week was 1891 tons, being 25l7 tons less
han for the same period last year. There ap-
pears to be considerable dissatisfaction amongst
>ome OF the boatmen, for some reason, and the
result has been that some companies have been
unable to ship as much coal as they would have
lone otherwise. The shipments for the wear up
10 this time by canal are 5.3 300 tons of coal:
