An Important Decision

COLUMBUS, O., June 24.-The Supreme
Court to-day unanimously decided that
the Constitution of Ohio does not enioin
or require religious instruction or reading
religious books in the public schools Of
the State. The Legislature having placed
the management of public schools under
the exclusive control of Directors, Trustees
and Board of Education, the Courts have
no Tightful authority to interfere by di-
recting what instruction shall be given or
what books shall be read there,

We forbear in the absence of the editor
to make any comment on the resolutions
of the Democratic County convention
They are before the public and for the3r
consideration. As far as they relate to the
editor of this paper, whose fault is charg-
ed to be that he has not been denuncla-
tory, and has given place to different
views of a matter that is unpopular, all
We would say is that we persume he will
be content to be the anvil on which the

TO-DAY is the 18th of June, and the
ninety-eighth anniversary of the battle
of Bunker Hill. This was q remarkable
day in the calendar of the life of the late
G. l.. Vallandigham. On the 18th of
June, 1868, he ran the blockade at
Charleston on Confederate steamer on
his way to Canada, after being exiled in
the South for two months pursuant to q,
kidnapping order issued by one GeneraI.
Burnside, who, by illegal force and yio-
lenoe, mad driven him from his native
State. 1t was an exciting time, as one of
the United States bloSkading vessels was
in full pursuit, and for hours her guns
We're heard reverberating over the waters.
But the escape was made. On the 18th
of June, 1864, Mr.. Vallaudigham arrived
at his home in Dayton--after spending a
number Of months in Canada-and in de.
fancs of arbitrary power made a speech
to a large crowd of friends from the bal.
cony of his residence. On the l7th OF
June, 1871, while engaged in defending
Thomas Mcclellan, he accidentally shot
himself at Lebanon, Ohio, and died in 4
few hours. Thus the three most impor!
tant events Of his life occurred on the
same day of the month, which was the
day consecrated to the recollection of the
first important battle of the War for In
dependence.-Cin. Enquirer, l7Lh. IL (

POETRY
SINGLE RLEssEDNEss.

SINGLE BLESSEDNESS.
Tell me not in idle Jingle
Marriage is an empty dream,
For the girl il dead that's single,
And girls are not what they seem.
Life is real, life is earnest,
Single blessednes fib,
Man thou art, to man returuest,
Has been spoken of the rib.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
Finds US nearer marriage day.
Life is long and youth Is ieeting
And our hearts though light and gay
Still like pleasant drums are beating
Wedding marches on the way.
In the worlds broad field of battle.
In the Div ouAc of life
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be a heroine-a-wife.
Trust no future, hoWe'er pleasant
Let the dead past bury its dead,
Act, act in the living present,
Heart within and hope ahead.
Lives of married folks remind as
We can live our lives as well
And departing leave behind US
Such examples as shall tell.
such examples that another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A foriorn unmarf led brother
Seeing, shall take heart and court.
Letus then be up and doing
With heart on triumph set;
Still contriVing, still pursuing,
And each one a husband get.

THr adonted son Of the Father OF

The adopted son of the Father of his
Country, and son of his wife by former
husband, George Washington Park Gus
tbs, bequeathed TO his daughter, Mrs.
Gen. Lee. the Arlington property, near
Washington. In order to punish Gen.
Lee for the conIse he took in the war. the
Government chose to confscate the Wash
ington inheritance of Mrs. Lee. It was
made great National Cemetery. There
is somsJhing in this exceedingly unjust
and unworthy the United States. The
injustice will be repaired by the Govern
ment paying Mrs. Lee for the property,
which it virtually stole from her.

We publish elsewhere the resolutions
adopted by the Democracy of Allen Coun-
ty; calling for State Convention of hon
est people at Columbus on the 30th of Ju-
ly, to form new party. The political
situation is peculiar, These resolutions
have the true ring, and will doubtless
have some effect.

This call for an bipartisan meeting of
great proportions has met with the hear
test reception throughout Ohio, the En-
9uireT of Cincinnati coming warmly to
It's support The action of this body is
in singular contrast with that of the re-
cent Convention which nominated Repub-
lican officers There the chief grabber
was passed by in servlle silence and only
the members alluded to in general terms.

We have been permitted to look upon
8 list of names signed to q call for meet
ing in this city to indorse the action of
the Allen County Democrats. 1t is for
midable. 1t contains the names of some
of the best Democrats in the city. We
caught sight, here and there, of an old
landmark. We have no hesitancY in
saying that if every county in the State
takes hold of the movemeAtafter the man
ner of the Democrats of this county the
unique Allen County people will not be
long left in the deadly breach.

From the Circleville Herald and Union. Rep
The recent secession of the Democracy
OF Allen county in body, from the old
party, indicates how completely old issues
have been settled. The fact is, that the
people of the United States are now left
free to consider new political issues, with
out the embarrassment of allegiance to
either OF the old parties. This Journal,
disregarding the past, and dealing with
the living issues of the present, was one
of the first papers in Ohio to unreserved-
ly endorse the farmers movement, as op-
posed to railroad monopOlles and other
wrongs. The officially declared princi-
pies of the new movement meet our en-
tire appreciation. We favor such action
as will carry those principles into prac-
teal effect in the legislation of the coun-
try. We wish TO see placed before the
people, this fall, q ticket composed ofmen
who are committed, heart and soul. to
these principles, and only such a ticket
will receive our support.

Gratis when the true and permanent in
terests of the country are involved. No
partisan ties, merely as such, should re-
strain men from doing what is right, es-
pecially time like the present. When
corruption in high places has become the
rule and not the exception is stimulated
only by the spoils to be gained; and when
corrupt men are striving for power that
they may WELD it only for their own per
sonal aggrandizement, it is time for hon
est men of all parties to stop and consid-
er the true condition of things; to sacri-
fce, If need be- party for country; and TO
restore if possible, the administration of
the Government TO the proud position
it once occupied when honesty, purity
and patriotism prevailed in its counsels
The history of the last decade is preg-
nant with facts and results which the
people are now beginning to understand
They see IN perspective the destiny to
which the party in power Is driving our
republican Institutions, and that there Is
not q moment to be lost in averting the
danger before US. Men of both parties
are to certain extent responsible for
this alarming state of things. Political
parties of every sort need purifcation.
The only way 10 accomplish this is for
the honest, unselfish, patriotic men of all
parties to unite en- a common basis and
labor for this grand result. The present
state of the political atmosphere gives
cheering promise that the people are go
ing to do this. The demonstration at
Lima is one of these indications. More
of the same character will follow, if we do
not greatly mistake the mind and the
temper of the people.
Another indication, and most formid-
able one in the same direction, is the
great movement Of the farmers of the
West. In that movement alone, if inspir-
ed by right influences, and prudent ceun-
sells, separate and distinct from all parti-
san control and dictation. may be hailed a
power tor good that will be irresistible
and overwhelming. To this grand move
ment We shall cheerfully contribute our
efforts and influence as journalists, and
do what We can to bring about revolu-
ton upon which depends so much of the
future welfare and happiness of our COM
mon country.
The present is an auspicIous time for
the people to give an expression of opin.
ion In this direction. The time for hold
ing county conventions all over the State
is at hand. Let these conventions speak
out, and let the local press give tone and
currency to their expressions of opinion.
We shall be'mistaken if the Democracy in
other portions of the State do not respond
to the call of their brethren of Allen
County.
