The New Orleans Times oil last SUNDAY
has the following notice Of the arrival
there Of the Iron Mountain, from Pitts
burgh, Of Gray'a iron Iine-a line with
which Capt. Jim. Mcdonald, Of this city,
has long been identified as n pilot:
"Her trip from Pittsburgh, Pa, is a
most extraordinary one in the way Of

bIirgL with ten loaded bargc1. She left
two nj Cairo, containing 1900 bars rail-

and 81 hhls. tobacco. The above u the
largest load of manufactured articles by

serve all the praise that can be ShoweFedi
on them, for the skill they have displayed
in bringing and delivering all safely at
their respective points Of destination.
CAPT. j. II. Dunlap isalong with the Iron
Mountain, and is good assistant TO
Capt. Gray"
Appropos 10 the above in regard TO the
Iron Mountain, the St. Louis Republican,
OF the 18Th, speaks Of the barge system in
connection with towboats as follows:
The barge system will continue TO grow
and spread on the Western rivers. What
is to hinder the Mississippi Valley Trans

FROM some remarks in the U. S. Senate,
on Wednesday, there would seem to DO
danger Of revising tho political history
Of this country on very important point.
Mr.. Thurman moved reconsideration
Of the vote by which Mr.. Morton'S bill
for changing the manner Of counting the
electoral vote was passed, his alleged OBJ.
jccI being to so change the measure that
it would stand better chance OF passing
the House The following debate then
cnsued:
Mr.. Morton spoke at some length rs TO
the necessity Of having new law on this
subject, and said, that simcc the bill had
passed the Senate, circumstance had
been discovered which would startlG the
country when made public.
Mr.. Blyard inquired as TO the nature
Of it.
Mr.. Mortu.t- said that he would not
mention names, but It was n case where n
Vice krrcsidcnt was counting for the
President, being himself candidate,
counted false or void return in his own
favor. The fact was in the possession Of
one OF the Senator's from Vermont.
Mr.. Thurman said he had seen it stated
in Il newspaper, that this Vice President,
Wien hi4 attention was called to the fact
that the return was false directed the clerk
to count it, and then tore up the paper,
and that great man never did such a
thing; that il was no use TO conceal the
name Of that man. 1t was no less than he
whose hand wrote the Declaration Of In.
dependence. II was no less II man than
Thomas Jefferson. II would not do now
to make such II charge a. that against
him. lie THURMAN would wait for the
production Of evidence, and he vcntureIl
so say that when it was produced there
would he nothing in ii to impugn the in
tcgrity oi Jefferson.
Mr.. Thurmanis right in the belief that il
will take pretty sound rrooito establish \
ioub; Of Mr. JeIlGrson's integrity, and
the country will waite quite anSiously
for the information said to be in the l,o-
session Of the Senator from Vermont.

THE venerable Thurlow Weed has
written n letter 10 the New York TTJnn,
upon the question Of excluding the Bible
from the public schools, in which he cv-
presses regret that an old class.ho"k Of
half a century ago, known as the beau
ties Of the Bible" has been permitted to
drop out Of the schools. Mr.. Weed -ays
oi this book:
The "Beauticg OF the Bible" Of which
the Rev. Ezra Samson, OF Hudson, is the
author, was first published in 1900, and
contains 49, pages. II this book should be
restored 10 our schools, the best parts Of
Scripture would constitute AL important
branch of common school education.
Our children, while learning to read,
would become imbued with the spirit Of
Christianity. The present seems n fitting
occasion to call the attention Of educa-
tional boards and the clergy TO this book.
II, simultaneously with the great uprising
Of the people under theeloquenlGOspel ap
peals Of Mr.. Moody and the tranquilizing
harmonies Of Mr.. Sankey, the beauties
Of the Bible" should be introduced ~ n
class book in our common schools, lhou4.
ands upon thousands OF our grateful
children will rise up to thank those who
conferred this blessing upon them.
