IHE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Coming 4gi-
tdffon tn Chicdgo-The President of the Chicago
Board OF Education, Mr.. s. A. Briggs in his an
nual report, recommends that the reading of the
Bible be discontinued in the public schools of
that city. He SAYS:
SO far as the question OF the use of the Protes-
tant Bible in our schools is concerned, il must
be conceded that the weight of argument lies
with those who, on the ground of religious tol-
GRAFTON, ask for its removal. One of the great
central ideas Of our Government is religious
liberty. We have grown to be a great nation
because here religious liberty is best understood
and most perfectly enjoyed. We represent in
our people all shades Of religious opinion and
belief. Those Of us who are Protestants would
resent % any attempt on the part Of the author
ities to require our children to listen to daily
lesson from the DOuay Scriptures. Why, then,
should We compel our Romanist neighbor
to listen to the version of King James.
or insist that the followers OF Moses join
in the reading Of the New Testament The
division among sectarian schools of our pub
lie school fund, however, rests upon an en-
tirely different basis. The argument which IA
vOrs the removal Of the Bible from the schools
portion of the school fund to sectarian purposes.
The public are taxed to support system Of free
schOOls-to educate the whole people. The spirit
Of our free institutions does not countenance the
fostering of any class or sect at the expense of
another, or to its exclusion. The greatest good
to the whole must be the end in view, and il this
fails to reach the peculiar necessities Of any in
dividual II is his misfortune, not the fault OF the
system. Assuming that the positions above taken
are correct in principle, would it not be best by
disseminating the use of all versions Of the Scrip
lures in our schools, to remove the only tenabie
ground Of opposition to their hearty support on
the part OF any portion OF our citizens?

SHOOTING OFF THE OLD YEAR-A Colored
Nan Shot and Kiued.-The foolish practice Of
shooting Off the old and shooting in the New
Year, as II Is termed, was carried to q reprehen-
sible extreme In Hagerst0wn, Md. Soon after
revolvers and the explosion OF fre-crackers
could be heard almost every moment in nearly
all the principal streets of the town, and this
firing was kept up during the entire night, not
only to the annoyance Of persons in their houses,
but at the risk OF the lives Of those who had oc-
casi0n to drive in the streets or walk the pave
ments. And sad to relate, many OF these ire
Arms AT Te,e IN s6e h nands ., DCys nVt awe S~Se years

General Sherman after sall Rum.
TFOR THE SrARrvS


Trifing events occurring in exciting and
terrific moments are seldom noticed. In time,
cool and deliberate review brings to mind all the
minute Of little sayings and doings, which, his
torically examined, become deeply interesting
and worthy of relating In 1861, Immediately
in the rear of Fort Corcoran, (now Rosslyn,) was
Gen. Sherman's headquarters. The evening
succeeding the never-tO-be-forgotten disastrous
battle of Bull Run, the brigade, comprising five
regiments, commanded by Gen. Sherman, re-
treated to, and rendeZvou'd around, the fort
in great confusion, exhausted with fatigue and
hunger. The cOmmissary Of the 18th New York
Highlanders, through rain and darkness, ap-
appealed for assistance, saying =" General, my
and men. Our colonel (the brave and heroic
Cameron, of Pa.,) fell mortallv wounded; the
major and eight of ten captains killed, wounded
and take n prisoners. i lost one cOmmissary team,
and in the hasty retreat the other broke down;
want bread pork and two barrels of whisky''
The General looked me i'm the face, and with
his Characteristic promptness replied -" Mr..
B., by O'Clock this night your wants shall be
supplied" but with quiZzical look added =
:" Would not one barrel Of whisky answer 2,
Prompt to the hour all was delivered in camp.
Boxes and barrel-heads were soon stove in and
all hands helped themselves. That night was
passed in open camp, only partially sheltered,
the rain falling in torrents. One barrel Of whisky
did answer, and every officer and soldier slept
soundly and dreamed thanks to General Sher-
man. r.

The NEW YORK POsT OFFICE.-The Washing

writes concerning the investigation Of the Con-
gressiOnal Committee: ,r.
The investigation into alleged irregulari-
ties in the work Of continuing the New York
Post Office building, is regarded here as the
attempt of ring to get the disburseISsf 4 OF the
money into their own hands. twice
voted down the proposition to 1th and l2tSrk into
the hands of a commission CQof h9qcians and
placed it wholly with two Cabinet Ministers, the
Secretary Of the Treasury and Postmaster
General. Under their control the work was
progressing with rapidity and satisfactorily to
all concerned, excepting the ring who hoped to
have the disbursement of the money"
cannot learn that any written charges have
been preferred against MeSrs. Boutwell, and
Cresswell or either of their subordinates, but.
on the contrary, am informed that hearsay
rumOrs are the basis Of the Investigation. The
opinion Of the highest officials iare seems, as
far can learn, to be Identical with that Of the
New York Times, thus set forth in an article
published on the 30th ult.:
"The architect of the new edifice has pushed
his work ahead with vigor, skill, discretion,
integrity and economy, which contrast most
happily with the 'jObs' in public buildings to
which we, Of New York, are unhappily ascus-
toned. He ought to be supported in his
work, not thwarted-tO be facilitated, not de-
layed-by plots like the present"
