Presentation of Bible to Gen. Grant, by
the American Bible Society.

The American Bible Society presented to
Gen. Grant, soon after his Inauguration, rich
ly bound copy Of the Bible. The presentation
was made by a committee headed by Chief
Justice Chase, and was accompanied by letter
from Mr.. James Lennox, President of the 90
ciety The letter is, throughout, in very ap~
propriate terms but we were particularly I'M
pressed by the following passage:
''The historical and necessary relation Of our
civil and religious liberties to the truths OF the
sacred scriptures, is self evident in a nation
whose Institutions are dependent upon the
morals of its people
We entirely agree in the truth of the above
assertion, and do, therefore, base upon it an en-
quiry or two most pertinent to our present sit
uation.
It being so self evident" truth, that our
institutions are dependent upon the morals of
our people" how happens it, that all the in
situations of government in the South are
sought to be entrusted to the control of race,
not only ignorant, but for the most part, utter
ly debased!
Is it unnatural. or should it be taken as proof
Of a ''rebellious' spirit, that the white people
of the Southern States, who hold to the self
evident truth asserted by the American Bible
Society, should struggle, with might and main,
to prevent consummation SO fatal to 'civi
and religious liberty" as would be the DONNA.
ton of race destitute both of intelligence and
morals 7"
''Out of thine own mouth will judge thee
&C., is a principle sanctioned beth by the
Scriptures and the law, and of which, there
fore, neither the American Bible Society MOI
the learned Chief Justice can possibly be ig.

journalistic Education.

Many OF the foremost among American
journalists have received their preliminary
training at the printers case but this does
not, by any means, prove that to become an
accomplished editor it is necessary to become
an accomplished printer. There is greater
proportion of printers who could never write
the articles they put in type than Of editors
who haye any practical knowledge of the art
of printing and yet. there is something in
the early associations of the printing Office
which gives sort of ripened culture to the
otherwise well-trained journalist. Upon the
same principle that the most efficient mana
gers Of great industrial enterprises are those
who have worked their way up through the
subordinate steps Of the craft, it il true that
the school of the printery gives the best train
ing for the journalist; it imparts kind OF
sympathy with letters that the mere scholar
does not acquire. The practical printer who
becomes an editor is apt to be, above all things
q good paragraphist. From having gone the
slow process Of picking up and depositing the
individual metallic blocks that, one by one
spell out the words which express the writer's
thought, the printer learns to place value up
on each letter and word, and is very naturally
led to deprecate . useless waste Of either.
Whatever may be the achievement OF schools
for journalists, we believe that the best schools
are printing offices and active reportorial Ia
bors.

The following facts appear in the recent re
port Of the Commissioners and Superintend-
emit of the Indiana House of R,fuye:
1t is located near Plainfield, in Hendricks
county. upon farm OF two hundred and TWEEN
" acres. The buildings were erected at
cost OF $65 Co., and are we'll adapted to the
purpose for which they were designed. The soil
of the farm is represented as rich. and WELL
waite red and adapted for fruit. There is now
one hundred and twelve inmates at the House,
twelve Of who n were remanded by Gov. BA-
KER. from the penitentiaries Of the State. The
cost Of the institution for the year, in the sup
port and education OF those 112 hayward and
criminal boys. was only $21,739. 40.
The House is not prison. but home or a
reform school where the boys who otherwise
would be sent to the penitentiary, and there,
in great majority of cases, ruined for life,
may be redeemed from their waywardness
and prepared to lead honest and useful lives.
The report is an interesting one, and every
friend Of humanity will find in it powerful
incentives to encourage the vigorous prosecu
ton Of SO good work.
