the nature of personal explanation be-
tween Messrs. Lamar and Blaine,
the House, on motion of MIR. Kan
dali, took a recess till one o'clock, the
hour fixed for drawing for seats.
Atthat hour the recess was further ex-
tended, to give the members absent on
a committee 20 wait on the President
(Messrs. Cox, Knott, and Blaine) an op-
portunity to be present and select their
seats when their names should be called.
The courtesy ofallowing tho Oldest
continuous member to select seat IN
advance OF the drawing, was extended
to Mr.. Kelly, member from Pcnnsyl-
vania, who was also permitted to select a
seat for Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia.
At l:lj Mr.. Cox reported that the
committee had waited upon the PreSl'
dent, and that communication in writ
ing would be sent to the House forthwith.
The speaker submitted the question
whether the House would draw Tor seats
or have the Presidents message read
The former course was adofted.
1t was twenty minutes past one when
the drawing was completed. As soon as
order was restored the Presidents mess
age was received and read by the reading
clerk, Mr. Hstfey. The reading occupied
two hours and five minutes, At first the
message was listened TO with consdera-
BILE attention, but after the passage of
that portion relating to education, church
property and Cuba, the attention began

that during the reading ofthc latter por-
ton of the message there were probably
not forty members in their seats, and
few ofthcsc paying attention. The mess

is wonderful even IN remote and spa SLY
populated districts how much good
has been accomplished and how readily
the people have taken hold of the puhlc
schools and interested themselves IN
overcoming the obstacles in the way, and
adapted the system to their condition. The
compulsory feature has been tabled and
for q while at least this will not be a
question to discuss, but there is another
question that will probably arise IN the
discussion of the the bill now before the
House, of even more public interest than
the former, and that is the Introduction
into or exclusion of the Bible from the
schools. THIS is aquestion in fact that
has two sides to it, and one with so much
argument on each that it is difficult to tell
which is right. Those who advocate Inc
use of the Bible in the public schools
use the sound and plausible argument
that the Bible is universally acknowI-
edged to be good book; and if good, It's
use can be of no possible harm
Again, they say that the Protestant
and Roman translatIons are so near alike
that no ground of offence on that score
can be given to either of the two great
religious sects of this country. On the
other hand, there are those who believe
that the spirit and letter Of our Constitu-
ton which secures the freedom OF con
science and religious liberty to all, would
b1 violated by compelling those who do
not accept the teachings Of holy writ rs IN
spiratOn to receive It's doctrines, and
again there are those who believe that
the religious training of the child should
be confined exclusively 10 the hearthstonc
or the church, and who dissent from
blending secular and religious education
those who profess to find warrant for
this belief in the word of God itself
by rendering unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars, and unto God the things
that are Gods"
Without desiring to obtrudo our
views upon the Legislature, We
have no hesitation in saying that
under all tho circumstances the best
policy at present would be to let ii alone.
Neither force the Bible rs text book
/ into our common schools, nor exclude it
by law. Wherever a teacher sees pro
per 10 read or have read
portion of Scripture in
the school each day let him do it, but do
not compel it to be done nor prohibit it
from being done Each community will
regulate this matter according to its own
notions. We are satisfied that there are
those of the minority party who would
like to drag this question into politics
they would like to see a Democratic Leg
islature take Il decided stand on one side
or the other of this question, so that they
could go INTO the next canvass with ap-
peals to thereligious prciudices of indiyid,
ualS against the opposing political party.
All that We have to say in this connection
is TO let our Democratic friends act eau
tiously in this matter, and not be betray-
ed into false or impolitic position.
