RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.

school difficulty, but for the benefit of
those who have not, we will try to
state the case as we understand it:
The Bible has always been read in the
schools Of New Haven, Conn, until
about a year ago, when, il we rem0m-
Der rightly, 1t was excluded by the
School Board. The cry Immediately
arose that the pupils of the schools
were running wild, that they would
grow up to be infdels &c. The agita-
ton became SO great that the question
was submitted to q vote Of the people
The Catholics and Protestant church
members united against the opponents
of the measure, and ministers of both
denominations worked all day at the
polls with such success the measure
was carried, and the ''infdels" beaten.
The question now arose as to what
instruction should be given-whether
Catholic or Protestant.
1t was finally agreed that q commit
tee consisting Of three Protestant and
two Catholic ministers should be ap-
pointed to draft ritual of religious
service for the schools.
The committee was composed of men
who are leading lights in the churches

In carrying on a government under he-
publican forms some Of the most formida-
BILE impediments in the way, as every years
experience shows, are found in the theory
and practice of universal suffersge and the
facilities it affords in our cities for frsnd.
The lower and criminal classes are not IN
frequently more active than all Others in
the management Of political affairs. They
become, through their combined vicious
ness and recklessness, the unserupulous use
of all means available, more formidable
than in their strength Of numbers. The
many examples of this dangerous and dis
graceful influence are well attested through
out the country. The evidence has been
such that some steps have been taken by
our patriotic lawgivers to check and re-
strain these growing evils by wholesome
enactmenfs. And an existing law found
upon the statutes provides that cities Of
q, 900 inhabitants or more, upon applica-
ton to the Judge of the United States
Court of citizens to have Congressional
electiols guarded and scrutinized, the
Ju.. shall open his Court within ten days
of tie registration or election, and shall
proceed to appoint and commission from
day to day and from time to time, and un-
der the hand of the Judge, and under the
seal of the Court, for each election district
or voting precinct in such city or town OF
Congressional district as may have made
application in the manner prescribed "two
citizens, residents of the city or town, or of
the election district or voting precinct in
the county or parish, who shall be Of diff
ferent political parties, and able TO read
and write the English language, and who
shall be known and designated as Super
visors of Election" The duties. of these
Supervisors are very carefully defined and
restricted. There never was fairer OF
wiser law. tbs this that the Democratic

The Sentinel endorses Mr.. N. E. French
as a suitable candidate for member of the
General Assembly. As there can be no
question about his nomination without
opposition if he consents to stand, we may
as we'll take that as granted. As the coun-
ty is entitled to two representatives., for
the next term, the courtesy will no doubt
be extended to Ashtabula, to furnish the
second. Whether we have any one who
wants the place, or would accept it if Of
fered to them, is an open question. In
view Of the uncertainty on this score, the
range for selection is not very broad. A
very good man for the position, provided
he would accept it, is Theodore Hall, Esq.

terests OF the county, he stands in the

The Greenbaek party are not as formid-
able in numbers as they were thought to
be, and they seem to be growing more so.
They are becoming demoralized, and be-
gin to be looked upon without fear, and
therefore with somewhat diminished res.
Pect. They have been rating their num-
bers at twenty-one true and tried men,
pledged to stand by their faith and party
caucus. The special dispatch to the Lea
der on Thursday of last week says, their
strength had been reduced to fifteen, and
their numbers had dwiudled to ten, and
some of these were claimed to be doubtful.
We had. hoped that their wind might have
been better, and so plagued the demmocra-
cy. Asjtis, we fear that the fun hasall oozed
out, and that our democratic friends will
be left to walk over the course.

plored as being ''out of harmony" with
those of Christ and his apostles, with the
practice of the Christian Church and the
Directory for Worship" With reference
to his methods, however, the Committee
takes no further action than to request
that the expression of its own disapproYal
be adopted as minute for the Presbytery.
Upon the allegations Of falsehood and de-
ceit, it recommends that DR.. Talmage be
cited for trial. These allegations relate to
DR.. Talmage's withdrawal from the "Chrs-
tian at Work" and to the various tram
saetions in his church which have already
been made public, notably his action in
the payment of the debt and the re-en-
gagement of the organist. After protract-
Ell debate, the report was adopted by the
Presbytery, and hearing of the case set
down for the following day. The ccm-
mittee declares that it expresses no opin-
ion respecting DR.. Talmage;s guilt or in
noeence, any further than to agree in
thinking that there is sufficient ground to
call for an ecclesiastical trial.

We believe Congress has the power and
right to regulate elections, and though the
government, even under President Grant,
has been free from the charge Of intrOduc-
ing the troops at election precincts. the
matters complained OF by- our neighbor,
were made available for meeting the vio-
lence Of 'white liners" rifle clubs, shot
gun squads, buIldozihg violence and Inur-
der generally, carried on to such an ex-
tent that the whole army Of the Q. S. could
scarcely prevent the whole Of it. 1t chaffs
those fellows who go in for such Outrages,
with tissue ballot box stufing, &c. The
only mode Of a minority carrying on cleo
tioB against odds is to break down all bar
riers for the protection of honest voting.
Hence this hue and cry.
Our friend ByingtOn, of the Norwalk,
CT, Gazstfe-a habitue Of Washington
during the sittings Of Congress writes;
The names of candidates for Clerk and
Sergent-at-Arms are legion, and that the
estimate is that there are in Washington
an armv of ten to twelve thousand place
hunters awaiting a chance to go on the
sub-cIerk, door-keeper or messenger rolls OF
the Senate. The vast proportion Of these
it should be stated, are from the South
where as one of them expressed it-"a
Southern gentleman now has got to have
an Office, or starVe."
The Gazette also says that new and
wonderful Motor has been invented, OF
which Mr.. B. writes-We have examined
the model of this most wonderful machine
and do not hesitate to say that by reason
of the inventors new discovery in magnetic
currents, that perpetual motion" is prac-
tically accomplished. At the least the ma
chine will run till it wears itself out with
out any aid or replenishment whatever.
MIR. Gary assures US that his model will be
placed under glass case in the patent OF
flee where he has no doubt that it will au-
tomatiealIy run for a hundred years unless
disturbed. 1t is the leading wonder of the
nineteenth century.
