~ CHCINSATI, Feb. IA.
The Judges Of the Superior Court ren
dered their decision In the case involving
the reading Of the Bible in the Public
Schools. The action was to dissolve the
injunction heretofore granted restraining
the operation Of the resolutions OF the
School Boarl providing that the reading
Of the Bible and all religious instruction
in the Public Schools shall not be per
mittcd. Judge Hagans held that the pro-
visions Of the Constitution recognized the
religions Of Christianity Kand aCknOwl'
edged thai religion and morality were ne
cessary 10 good government; that the
State used religions rs means to promote
good government; md, therefore, the cX'
cIusion Of all religious instruction from
the Public Schools was contrary TO the
provisions Of the Bill Of Rights. Judge

Cameron aud the War Department.
Colonel Alexander X. Mcclure Of Penn
sylvania, long known in that State rs d
political opponent Of the Hon. Simon
Cameron, publishes u letter 0ycr his own
signature in the Philadelphia E'seni~g
7ciegrgM, in which lie asserts that Mr.
Cameron did not voluntarily Withdraw
from the Cabinet Of President Lincoln
The card Is suggested by the following
passage in Senator Wilson's article on
Secretary Stanton in Tho AttImhc A09thly
for Fcbrlary; "He, (Ir. CamerOnJ pro-
posed to resign should some one be'Hlr
pointed not unfricndly to his policy lie
suggested the appointment tofNIr. Stanton
The President acted upon his suggestion
accepted his resignation and tGndcrel him
the mission to Russia" Col. Mcclure
says tlat Mir. Cameron was removed from
the War Department by Mr.. Lincoln with
ont previous notice; that lie received d
letter telling hlm that Mr.. Stanton had
been, or would be, nominated to succeed
him, md that the President had detc1nln
ed TO appoint him (Camcron) to the Rus
sian Ministry. The letter was delivered
by Secretary Chase. Col. Mcclure says
he saw this letter soon after It was deliv'
cred, and remembers the Indignation will
which It was received by Mr.. Cameron
The letter concludes as follows: "Tht

ting the removal, was suggested to MIR
Cameron in my presence, and Mr.. Lin
