THE BiBLE-sCHOOL QUESTION

We arc glad that the sentiment of the
American people, so far as an opportu-
nifty for public verdict has been given,
is decidedly in favor of retaining the
Bible in the schools. A few years
since, in Cincinnati, where the first
movement against the Bible in the
schools was made, an election of q
school board was had, in which the
question of disseminating the Dible-
rect issue, and school officers in favor of
its retention were elected by a decided
majority. So also in st. Louis SINH
lar election has just been held with a
like result. In addition to these cleo
tions, n largely attended meeting was
lately held in Cooper Institute, N. Y,
to protest against division of the pub
lie school money of New York among
the various sects and citizens are pc
titioning their Legislatures against such
q diversion of their school funds. These
are propitious Omens, and they show
that the Bible will not be wrested from
our schools without terrible conflict
desperately engaged in. We are sorry
that SO many good citizens, among
them q number of eminent Protestants,
have taken positions on this question
that are calculated to give encourage
ment to the encroachments of the ROM
ish church.
We believe just as heartily as any one
can believe that the pnblic schools
should not teach the tenets of any par
ticular church or sect; their doors
should close upon all sectarian views.
And it is simply because they are so
free from sectarianism that this on
slaught has been made by the Catholics.
1t is their desire that the public school
money shall be divided up between the
various sects in order that each may i'm
press the minds of its youth with its
peculiar religious views thus their en-
deavor is not merely to cast the Bible
from the schools, but to utterly destroy
the common school system. They rec
ognize. the fact that this system is not
favorable to the growth of their church.
A thorough and comprehensive educa-
ton makes but few converts to, but
many apostates from Roman Catholi-
cism. Hence they would strike from
existence system of instruction whose
purpose is to literally educate, and sab
stitute one by which they would be en-
abled to teach, at the expense of the
public, their own narrow creed. 1t il
time the American people should open
their eyes to the real purposes of the
Romish Church. &C.,
If It be once known that the true mo-
tive on the part of the Catholics is the
overthrow of the common school sys'
TEN, there will be no trouble In bring
ing out an overwhelming opposition to
the Roman Catholic movement. The
American people, as whole, revere
their system OF public Instruction. Lei
il be known and felt that its life is en-
dangered and there will he an uprising
for its defence equal to that which th'
firing on Fort Sumpter called forth
Let there be vigilance.

Another pillar of the M. E. Church
has fallen. Scarcely a month since and
Rev. John McClintock, ID. D., one ofthe
most learned and talented men in the
christian world died. AbOuta fortnight
since Bishop Thomson was stricken
down and now the telegraph brings
the sad tidings from over the ocean that
Bishop Kingsley is no more. He died
at Beirut, Syria, whittier he had gone
in obedience to the voice of his church
to superintend the missionary interests.
The Bishop, although it has been but a
few years that he has filed the highest
office in the gift OF his church, has al
ways been one of the most prominent
men in the Methodist denomination.
He was for long time, prior to the
time when he was made Bishop, editor
OF the Western Christian AdrOcate,
published at Cincinnati, Ohio, and we
think it is safe to affirm that th6 Adro-
cate never enjoyed greater prosperity,
or was better liked than during the
time I'm which he was the Editor-in-
chief. Most heavily will the NJ. Z.
Church feel this third great loss of the
year 1870.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.

There was q time when Chief Just
ice Chase stood very high in the estim-
alton of the American people. He was
still more popular as Mr.. Lincoln's Sec
rotary of the Treasury. But although
occupying the highest judicial position
in the Government, there are but few
who honor him. Like Mr.. Douglas,
the Chief Justice allowed his mind to
sire for the Presidency. Always an an
ti-slavery man, but failing to secure the
qualification of his ambition at the
hands of his friends, he threw himself
into the arms of his lifelong political
enemies, who instead of bearing him
toward the Presidential chair, rudely
cast him from their embrace, to take up
in his stead that more gentle burden,
the loving Horatio. This rough, I'M
generous treatment did not, however,
dampen in the least the Presidential ar
dor of the Chief Justice. Like Sew
ard in '64, he is laying his plans with q
desperate hope this time to win. Hav-
ing one eye therefore on the next DEM
ocratic Convention and the other on the
White House, he has lately rendered a
decision upon the Legal Tender act that
in his opinion evidently places himself
a good ways along Oh the road toward
Presidential glory. AS Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Chase urged as an indis-
pensable necessity the Legal Tender
act, and insisted upon having the notes
issued under that act made a legal ten
der for all pre-existing debts; but as
Chief Justice he pronounces decision
directly the adverse of this and declares
that these same notes should not be re-
ceived as legal satisfaction for such
debts. How much this decision, which
lowers him still more in the opinion OF
his old friends, will elevate him in the
opinion of his new friends we are not
prepared to say but had we our choice,
Notwithstanding the brilliant prospects
of the Chief Magistracy, we would
rather be MIR. Chase rs Secretary of the
Treasury than Mr.. Chase as Chief Just
/ ice.
