The Democratic Victory in New York For the first time in fifteen years, tn, Democracy have obtained full control O the government of the State of New. York It is-a result that we do not greatly re. gret. In the first place, we should much prefer that the Democracy should be re- sponsible for so fragrant body of patri. ots as the New York Legislature has be. come. True, the most corrupt portion of that Legislature has always always been its Democratic minority; but we have mo- ticed that few corrupt measures have lack ed enough Republican votes to bring that minority up to a handsome majority. The most prominent Republican corruption ists, too. have generally failed of re- nomination; but there usually seems to be enough rotten timber among the new members to keep up the average of cor ruption. 4ra., gsu.g -
 It is on the city government of New York that that this falls political result will have the most marked effect. Between the non-tax-paying majority of that city, mostly of foreign birth, and the tax-pay- ing minority. have stood g series of com appointed by Republican State government. The police and many other branches of local, government have been for many years controlled by these com
 
 to the great disgust of those who the Democratic majority of the city. Now, the State commissions will be swept away, and the taxpayer brought face to face with his natural enemy, the ring politician, and must fight for his or lose it. Under such circum- stances we have no doubt of the result. The misgoyernment of New York is owing 1 o the fact that the most energetic and prosperous of its inhabitants have shame ully neglected their duty as citizsns: That he city will become Republican, we do lot imagine; bat respectable men will rave to stop the frauds. perjuries, and obberies of the Tweeds and Fisks, or property will abandon locality where It will no longer by safe. .aa ..g.sa5.a

The Bible in Public Schools.

The school board of Cincinnati have lately decided against the use of the Bible in their public schools. The propriety oi
 their decision is very, generally questioned
 by the press. We must confess that such
 is not our. opinion. While we can con ceive of no valid objection to the use of the Bible. the Romish clergy certainly make it pretext for withdrawing the children of their focks within their sectarian schools. Their real objection is against any form of education not under their control but the use of the King James translation of the scriptures, which they declare unauthorized and incorrect, affords sufficiently plausi- ble excuse for their purposes. Is it wise then to, leave them even that pretext 1? Would it not be better to force the fight on the simple issue of sectarian or unsec- tartan education ,@ -a -
 7a The position of the Catholic clergy is unmistakabie. They, oppose all forms of education not under their control. Can they carry the Catholic laity with them :? They have utterly failed to do so in the more intelligent Catholic countries of Eu- rope; in France, Italy, and even in Austria. The American Catholics, especially those of Irish descent, seem to be more com pletely under the domination of their cler- gy than those of the same denomination in Continental Europe; but without the pretext afforded by the use of the common. translation of the Bible we doubt whether the Catholic clergy could long control them in this matter. LaiiaBj iie. sI
 The only relic of the old system of reli- gious education in our public schools is the use of the Bible as a reading book. Does such use, unaccompanied by explana- tion practically give religious turn to the thoughts of the scholar of the age usually found in the common school We do not believe that it does. If, therefore, the disuse of the Bible as reading book will take the sting out of, priestly opposition to our public school system, it is concession 'that, it strikes us, it would be wise for Pro testants, to make. ea5 fo[l!o T
