CADETsHirs FoR SALE.--The House Of Rep
resentaiives has appointed committee OF in.
ves;igation to examine into the matter Of mem
bers of Congress selling vacant cadrtships nj
West Point and Annapolis. 1t has been car.
red on to such an extent that some Of the
loyal " members had actually advertised in
New York and Philadelphia papers that such
positions were for sale, and directing bids to
be sent to fictitious names. The committee
has made considerable progress, and unless the
party whip Ia cracked over the heads Of the
members of the committee, some of the ex.
tremely loyal Congressman will find their vii.
lainy and corruptions unearthed and made pub.
lie. The dispatches state. rather significantly.
"it is due to say that the carpet-bag members
have made the bargains and sales" There can
certainly be no difficulty in ferreting out the
guilty parties, il the committee desire to do so.

suit like all others generally do where the char.
acter or good standing of Radical ia ut stake.
Such committees are always made up of Radi
Gals, and they invariably suppress the evidence,

| THE Bible IN Public SCHOOLS case
involving the question OF reading the Bible in
the public schools has been recently decided 10
the Superior Court Of Cincinnati The School
Board had adopted resolution sometime last
Fall providing that the reading of the Bible,
and all religious instruction in Public Schools,
should not be permitted. An injunction was
obtained restraining the Board from carrying
their resolution into effect, and on an applica-
ton to dissolve the injunction one Judge Ho.
gans, of the Superior Court, rendered decis.
ioE holding that provisions of the Constitution
recognized religion and Christianity and &C.
knowIedged that religion and morality were
necessary to good government, &c, &c. We
will wager that the fellow who rendered the
decision belongs to the God and morality 4"
party, and cntertains the same views of mixing
up affairs of church and state, as Strong of
Pennsylvania does If the Constitution of the
United States recognizes Christianity we have
read it to little purpose and as to recognizing
any religion, it expressly discountepances any
mingling of religion with state affairs by pro.
siding that mo religious test shall ever be re.
quired as qualification to any office or public
trust under the United States" We are not
conversant with the Constitution of Ohio, and
have no work at hand which contains it, but
presume that there is not much more reference
to religion or Christianity in 1t than in other
Constitutions, and for the life of us we cannot
see where this Cincinnati Judge finds his Chris.
tianity doctrine on which he bases his opinion.
Probably being believer in the "higher law"
doctrine, he thinks it right and correct to CO.
cree the consciences Of children of Catholics |
and Jews, or If they don't desire to be coerced, |
then they must be deprived OF oil rights in the
public schools. If that doctrine should hold
good we can safely predict that when the right
of suffrage is conferred on the Chinese they
will become numerous enough to outvote the
whites in some of our mining States and Ter.
ritories, aud then by obtaining control Of the
public schools, white children, II they attend
he schools, will be required to study the re-
igion of Josh, in the Chinese alphabet.

Congress was ready to continue the Office of

We fully agree with the Republican that
it is the duty of Congress to continue the
Office of Special Commissioner Of the
Revenue, and leave the responsibility OF
the appointment with the Executive. Il
Mr.. Boutwell, does not wish tho Office con-
tinued, it must be because he wishes the
country to remain rs ignorant as himself
on the subjects Of revenue and
taxation. We think it might be safely

arises, indeed, mainly from this cause,
as their prosperity and thrift, and growing
power, excite the envy and Jealousy OF some
portion of The population. Now, If these
statements be true-and they seem to
come on good authority-the story of a
massacre is exceedingly improbable. It is
not likely that SO large o portion OF the
people Of Roumania, with rights guaranteed
by Inv, md long enjoyed, and possessing
wenlth and intelligence, would be suddenly
subjected to an oppression, on account Of
their znce, which long ago went out Of
fashion in Europe.

Tha a1nnr.cant1nnad drY Weather i;

The long-continued dry weather is caus-
ing widespread fears in regard to the yield
Of the crops in 1870, not only in the
United States, but also in the Canadas and
all over Europe. Operators in grain are
taking the alarm, and hnstening to provide
agninst the anticipated scarcity BY laying in
supplies: The English dealers are buying
up grain hberally in this country, and
expectations OF wheat are now being
made from Liverpool to countries
in continental Europe which havo here
tofore aided in the supply of bread
stuHs to the British Isles. As conse-
quence, the price Of wheat is rapidly I'd
yancing in all the worlds markets, and
other cereals are also held ut higher figures,
in sympathy. Wheat was 10 cents per
bushe1 higher yesterday in Chicago than on
Tuesday Of last week; corn wns cents, and
oats 4 cents higher than week ago. in
the same connection we note that the
farmers show less anxiety to forward Their
stocks on hand, even at tn, present en-
hanced prices, md our daily receipts show
marked falling or
There seemB to be little doubt TINT the
grain crops Of the world will show less than
m average yield, unless there be extensive
rains som; but the percentage Of reduc-
tion is probably much magnifed. 1t il

west have oftener suffered from too much
ruin than from too little, MS an abundance

AI1. Hermann Raster, editor of the Illinois
.Staats-Zdtung, writes to us to say that
TINT paper has not opposed the election of
MI. Gookins a. Judge of the Circuit Court
because he is religious man and tenn
pernnce man, but ttbecause he belongs to
those who propose to make the State or
municipal Legislation means to enforce
their own religious convictions and tastes
upon other citizens"
We accept the amendment, and beg leave
to inquire when and where Judge Gookins
has proposed to enforce his religious con-
vietions upon other people. 1t is very con-
yvnient, if ones opponent happens to be-
long to a church, to charge him with
design to *cram down his religious con
vic6ons into other peoples throats, BY
means of police clubs, as, Mr.. Raster says,
Judge Williams would never think OF do
ing implying of course that Mr. Gookins
would, and that as Judge he would per
init the Law to accomplish that improper
end We undertake to say that Judge
Gookins would do no more and no less
in this behalf than Judge Williams would,
and that the Insertion of the Stddts-Zei-
tung to the contrary was o mere pre-
.ence, intended to array the hostility Of a
certain class, or certain nationality, against
him. Judge Gookins WAS, for several years,
on the Supreme Bench of Indiana. His
decisions arc to be numerously found
in the published Reports Of that State. If
the Staats-Ztituny can produce anything
from those decisions, or from his public
declarations, to sustain the charge prefer
red against him, why does 1t not do SO, III
stead Of indnlging in loose objurgations
against him, which, when sifted down,
prove nothing, except that he is religious
man and temperance man7 # it does
not produce something Of this kind, then
we are justified in saying, as We did, that
it "objected to him because he is re-
Egious man and d temperance man"

The Albany Erening Journal, speaking
of American ship-building, remarks:
*The business of building ships has declined IN
this country until it has become practically
ait seems strange that In q country xhere iron
and coal are to be had in profuslon for the min
Ing, and all the materials can be secured BY proper
encouragement the building Of iron ships should
demonstrates conc!uslrely that our various bust
ness interests arc not properly adjusted"
The Journal, which is high thrift sheet,
reluctantly admits that the shipping inter-
est has been destroyed by ''protection.
Iron has been protected to that degree
that it cannot be used as material in ships;
and *slabor" has been SO protected that it
cannot be employedto build ships. Hence
the ship-building branch Of American in
dustry has literally been protected to death,
As to the remedy for this state of things,
the Albany organ Of high tariff is con-
strained to say:
"But II We should undertake to revive the snip
building interest, BY establishing free trade IN
Iron, ne would crush the iron Interest Hence.
tho only thing which can be done, in that dlrec-
uon, ts to reduce the tariff to the lowest point
consistent with prOtecl0n-the iron interest belug
the Efenter Of the two"
A reduction Of the tariff on iron Is Just
whatwe have long urged-not only on iron,
but on everything else to the lowest point
consistent with rerenue. Let US have the
lowest tax on imports that will furnish suf-
fcent revenue for the payment Of the in
terest on the national debt aud the per
cent sinking fund. The amount needed is
about S135, COO, 200. The present tariff
draws SlS5, ,0OO, 200 out of the pockets Of
the people. Hence it may safely and prop
erly be reduced $50, 600, 900, or about 3Oper
cent Such reduction would afford great
relief, not only to the ship-buiid,ng interest, :
but to the great farming aud planting inter-
ests, and to millionsof other laboring people.
A repeal of one-third of the tariff duties
would reduce the cost OF living and produc-
ton by onc.fourth. 1t would be as good TO
the farmer as an addition Of 20 cents
bushel to the price OF his wheat or corn,
and to the planter it would equal 6 cents q
pound advance in the price Of his cotton
and tobacco It would mike "a cents go
as fur in purchasing the necessaries of Life,
and the implements of industry, as dollar
without such reduction.
