Pfnchback's Rejection in tho Senate.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald tells how Pinchback re-
ceived the news of his defeat ''in the house
Of his friends"
The long agony is over. Pinchbacks ao-
m;saion to seat in the Senate was put an
end TO bv . deciding vote yesterday, OF
twenty nine for him to thirty'tw0 against
him. A New England Senatorial column,
headed by Edmunds, composed OF the Nor.
r;lls of Maine and Vermont, Wadleigh, OF
New Hampshire, and Dawes and Boutwell,,
Of Massachuset ts, did the business. Three
wears and more Of time having been con-
sumed in dispoeing OF this issue, 1t ls aston
ishinp that the New England dissenters
stood without change from the first, and,
except with three or four, who were waver-
ing and did not have the nerve, there has
been 70 change. and the whole matter was
decided, when the thing came to poiit,
in just twelve minutes.
The analysis of the vote shows that the

DR.. Spaulding On the school Question.
A select and spprecistive audience as
sembled last Sunday night at the Church
of the Messiah, corner of St. Charles and
Julia streets, for the purpose Of hearing the
sermon to be delivered by Rev. DR.. Spauld-
ing, from the text, "Let there be light"
Said the eloquent preacher: Our schools
should be unsectarian. They should be
nurseries of learning, and not Of faith. The
cardinal principles of morality should be
taught therein, but without violence being
offered to the scruples of any religious body.
The Catholic objects to the Protestant
translsti0n Of the Scriptures; tho Jew dis
cards the New Testament; the Nationalist
rejects the entire Bible as Divine authority.
They are all citizens of the State, and have
an equal interest with others in our schools,
and it is not right to force upon them q re-
cord which they do not accept. We should
teach morality a. a science, and stop there.
The Catholic church would educate her
own children, but the church has nothing
whatever to do with secular instruction.
Her sphere is exclusively religious, and
whenever she quits it she is to be remanded
to it again. The 100000 of Catholic chill.
dren in this country can not be educated by
their church. scattered, as they are,
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, and mingled with many times their
number of Protestant children, it is abso-
lutely impossible for her to reach them.
The State must instruct them, or they must
grow up in ignorance. In no land has the
Catholic church, or any church, ever edu-
Gated the great body of the rising genera
ton. 1t is vain to suppose that she ever
will.
All our higher institutions of learning
academies, colleges, universities-should be
removed from all sectarisn control and
placed under the superintendent of the
State. The high school should displace the
academy. The institutions of higher
grade should be consolidated, one taking
the place of score of them. Where there
are forty sectarian colleges in Ohio, all
these institutions should be leveled into
one, and that one should be secularized.
The work done then would be thorough
and creditable. Education in unsectarian
schools should be made compulsory. The
interests of the State require it. whether We
regard her material prosperity, the good
order of society or the perpetuity of tree
government.

Ship Majestic Struck by Lightntng.

At $40 A. NJ. on Sunday morning the
ship Majestic, lying at post thirty-seven,
First District, was struck by lightning and
Immediately set on fire. The lightning first
struck the main sky sail mast, passed
through it, leaving hole about the size of
. bullet, following the wire backstay down
to the deck, where it entered by topsail
halliard block bolt just inside the water
way, and passed out through the ships
side about four feet above the water or load
line. The copper on the outside of the
ship where the lightning passed through
was blown off and is hanging in skreds to
the extent of square foot. while the hole
left was about the size of that in the sky
sail mast. Engine company No. IL was
the first on the spot, being called
out by the mate of the Majestic.
The fire. being in the upper part of the
ship, was soon under control, and VIII en- it
was fully extinguished there was about ten
feet of water in tbs hold, which was pumped
ont by the fire department. The damage
to the ship is not great, although it may
reach $4,000. There can not be less than
1900 bales of cotton damaged, mostly by
water.
Too much praise can not be awarded the
fire department, under Chief O'Connor, for
the promptness with which this fire was ex-
tinguished, resulting chiefly from former
experience. 1t will be remembered that the
ship Hsgarstown was eaved by them, just
one year ago, under almost similar circum-
stances.
The Majestic was bound to Liverpool, and
had nearly completed loading, she having
5000 bales of cotton ON board. Captain
Gibbons had his wife, sister and three chill
dren on board, who were much frightened
at first, but were all transferred to the ship
Harvester. and soon made comfortable by
her commander, Captain Bosworth. Yes
terday morning they all returned to their
own ship, truly and sincerely grateful to
our noble fremen for saving them their
ocean home.

Southwest Pass.

There appears to be an unusual amount
of water now in all the passes of the Mis-
eippi river. The chip Agnes Sutherland,
for Liverpool, with cotton, crossed the bar
at Southwest Pass on Saturday, drawing
nineteen and half feet of water. On
Sunday the ship Rafael, drawing nineteen
feet, crossed the same bar and went to sea
with q cargo of 5000 bales Of cotton.
