RACES. The trustees have positively refused to
open the school building unless the reading of
the Bible is discontinued, and served a notice to
that effect on the commissioners, while the lat
ter seem equally determined to have their
own way, and allow he Bible to be read. The
trustees claim that the commissioners are ex-
ceedng their authority. The trouble is kept up
mainly by outside influence, As both parties to
the controversy are being flooded with resolu-
lions and letters calling on them to uphold the
stand taken.

TuE BLoOD-EED FLAG.-A speaker at the
meeting Of the International workingmen's 50
eieiy in New York city on Sunday said that the
red flag did not mean b,oOdshed and rebellion
at il the conference flag Of the wOrkirgmen, not
tie flag of nationalist or countries, but the
consolidated emblem of all the working classes
the emblem OF honest labor. Ii was well
known in tie old Roman time, the cOlori is taken
from lloOd, and means vigor and msnliness. Ii
is peace until it Is insulted, and then becomes
vengeance" The red flag means something else
in England, ii a London correspondent OF the
New York World is to be believed. lie says
the incendiary reds of London are sowing the
seeds OF bloody revolution, and in pamphlet
printed Gin red ink" at 1.-The international

While we are discussing compulsory education
IN this country, the province of Rio ,Janeiro,
Brazil, has enacted a stringent law on that sub
ject which has the merit of meeting In part the
objection that very poor parents cannot afford
10 send their children even to free schools. BY
The Brazilian law parents are obliged to send to
some school all their children between the ages
Of seven and fourteen. When the parents are
too poor to provide tit clothing for their Off

The anN-GTart republicans 10 not seem TO
have IToSPeTcd yesterday at Albany. The
legislature Of that state was organized yesterday
l. the selection of James Terwilliger, formerly
private secretary to Collector Tom Murphy,
clerk Of The senate, and Henry Smith, OF
Albany. speaker of the house. Both Terwlliger
and Smith were the representatives Of the Conk-
ling or administration wing of the party, and
went iHtO the fight as such. The anti Grant
wing ran Tom AiyOrd against Smith, and forced
An issue as between themselves and the admin
H;raiion- Ii appears a strong effort wa made
to ignore both factions OF the party by the selec
ton of rOn-interested candidates; but the opposI-
ton was 30 bitter against Grant and COnkIing
and so sure of victory. they would yield nothing.
and the result was they were cleaned out
u would seem that the ahti-Grant men had two
objects in view IN ID fight, namely: First, the
selection of an snt-GJsrt delegation to the
approaching republican national convention
and the deieat of Senator COnkling from a re-
election next winter. The present Senate is
selected for two years, and a year hence will
have Ia choose successor to Senator COnklinc
The choice of Terwillieer as clerk AMI that, too
by an almost unanimous vote seems to Indicate
that a large majority OF the republicans OF that
body favor CODkliDg's return. The present
Assembly viii expire before the beginning of
the next Senatorial contest, but the work il has
to perform viii have an important bearing on
lie political struggles of the coming autumn
hence the fierce war between The factions for the
control. A rev charter j. to he made for New
York city, which will place all the powerful
iOlitical machinery, formerly welded 80 sue
ceSsfuily by Boss Tweed and Tamma-
ny, in the hands of the republicans
IL was apparently the hope OF the anti Grant
men to secure the mskingof his charter, and the
manipulation of the Patronage as an Offset to
the Federal pap of the custom house, etc. i'm
which case they would perhaps have been apt to
send an anti-Grant delegation to the national
convention, and an anti COnkling Assembly TO
Albany next fall. But they have met with de-
feat, which. apparently, kills the auti-Grant
movement among the republicans in New York.

1t il proved beyond a doubt that the late
tragedy in Louisville, Ky.-the shocking murder
OF an old lady by her sons wife who used A
Ratchet to brain her helpless y.ctim-was the

tonal literature OF the day by the mur,IcresS.
The newspapers are using this fact a. AN aryu-
ment for the suppression OF the villsinous stun.
Ihis l. all very well; but stronger plea for its
suppression than it, influence in this particular
case leading 10 murder, is the mischief il is
quietly doing to the morals OF the young of both
sexes. IL Is fact vOuched for by candid dealers
IN this vile trash that some OF their best Gus

the unusual amount OF drunkenness witnessed

men seen under the influence Of liquor. We adj
dressed an earnest appeal to the ladies' to discard
intoxicating drinks at their New Year, reccp-

appeal, a. did also the clergy. The result wa,

good square drink on New Year, by

II j. fortunate thing for Washington that
what has been called the smallpox panic has
caused more general vaccination than ha,
ever taken place here before. According to
our physicians the atmospheric conditions that
cause the SMALLPOX to be epidemic in it, malig-
Haut type are yet wanting in Washington.
which If the reason that. though some cases o.
the terrible disease have come here direct from
Philadelphia, it has no. thus far obtained any
