"'One of the most terribla and fatal boiler explosions that has ever occurred in a manufacturing establishment in this country took place in Philadelphia, on Thursday, in a saw-mill on Sansom street.

But no, ' failing to find the least excuse for the indignity they have labored so long and zealously to cast upon tho President, they have given vent ' to their vindictiveness by passing a reso Intion declaring that the Chief Magistrate is. unworthy the confidence and respect of . the; American people. For this resolu .. tion every radical member of the Commit r teo,, seven in number, cast Ins Tote, there- by not only transcending the limits of the commission given them by Congress, but , .assuming a prerogative which neither Con ; gresa nor any committee of its creation has the constitutional power to exercise. No man, no matter how humble, can of right be adjudged by any court or other legal , authority unworthy of esteem or confidence unless he is found guilty of some trans gression of the law whereby his reputation : ia forfeited. This gratuitous condemna tion of President Johnson by the Hump House Judiciary Committee, after the.fail- ; ure of its utmost efforts to find the least excuse for reporting in favor of his im peachment, can only therefore redound to .' "the discredit of the men who supported it ; and tho party which placed them in the positions from which they were detailed for a duty which they lacked the evidence but not the will to fulfill. The names of .Boutwell, Thomas, Lawrence, Williams, . Wilson, Woodbridge and Churchill, radi cal members of this Committee, have gone ' upon record as the' supporters of a resolu ' tion infamous in it3 origin, slanderous in its language, and outrageously disgraceful - in its purposes. ; Let them and the party : they represent bear the obloquy of such contemptible proceedings. ' In a late number of the Cambria Freeman we notice a communication signecLl'R," and entitled "The Teachers Advocate," in which the writer -lemurs to our.articla on "Irregu lar Attendance," published in the May nam-, der of our paper. What induced the w Iter to put our head on his article we- are at a loss- to know, unless, indeed, there was no other head, of any value within-his reach when he wrote. "IT start3 out by asking us five or six questions, which, tft they are entirely irrele vant, we pass over without further remark, lie then changes his base, and proceeds to to combat the principle oT compulsory at tendance; - Ia fact, his whole article, when stripped of its" verbiage and sophistry, sim ply amounts to the assertion that such an act would bfl mntrarv tn the "natural and divine law,": TTe says: "We think there is nothing more clear in the Sacred Script turea than that God entrusted the care, education, and protection of the child to its parents." Wo are pleased to know that "R" admits that the Scriptures enjoin upon parents the duty of educating their children. After making such an admission, is it nSl strange that he should be seized with holy horror at the bare mention of an enactment intended to prevent people from setting the laws of God and the interests of mankind at defiance, by allowing their children to grow up in ignorance ? ' lie represents us as favoring a law that would "tear from the bosom .of the father and the mother, and from the arms of the brother and the sister, the innocent, help less child and place it in a house of correc tion." We will repeat for his benefit what we did say, or enough of it to indicate the tone of our article : " We see no remedy by which this evil can be arrested but a law compelling attendance at school. Of course such a law would have to be framed with much care, and should not be made too strict at first." In concluding that article we appended a portion of a report by Jesse Ncwlin. Esa.- not because wo agreed with him in all particulars, but for the purpose of showing that we were not alone in sup port of tho general features of such a measure.- If Mr. "II" had not been so much pressed for room, and could have given hia readers the whole of the quotation from Mr. Newlin's report, a false impression would not have been produced. We did say and we say again, that Mr. Newlin's report was an able document, yet for all that we do not agree with him in every particular. We think the punishment he proposes is. too Bevere. Ilia views noon the subject, as quoted by "R," are much modified by, what follows, which, of course, "R" did not quote, lie strives to couvey the idea -that the ad vocates of this measure are in favor of com pelling all parents to send their children to the public schools. Now, we advocate no such thing, but simply claim that all should be. educated. They may be educated in private or parochial schools, or , by., private instructors at home. We do not t wish to deprive any one of his right of decring by whom or in what institution his children shall be educated. -We claim that his duty misery and disease. - If this condition should continue, there being-positively no educa tion; we would finally reach a savage state, "where ignorance and crime, misery and dis ease, beuig intensified, we would verge gradually into extinction, like the Indians and original inhabitants of Australia. Thus then, it will bo seen, that if we admit that the parent has the right to deny education to his children, we axlmit a principle, the application of which tends, first to the de terioration and finally la. the destruction .of mankind. But if, on the contrary, as we maintain j the parent has no right'to allow his children to grow up in ignorance, there can surely be nothing wrong in preventing him by law from doing what he has no right to do. . , . . . ;.. . Before we close we have a word to say in regard to "R's" method of reasoning. He says if the State can compel attendance at school it can compel the people to attend a particular church. Now we beg to-remind him that the Constitution Q.f the State for bids interference in religious matters. It does not, however, deprive the Legislature of the power to legislate In regard to educa tion. On the contrary, it says that the Legislature shall provide for the establish ment of schools. ; We beg "also to. remind him that it is illogical to reason against the truth of a proposition by showing, that in jurious results wonld follow, were it admit ted to be true.

He, however, nowhere asserts that the measure would be inexpedient, or that it would not remedy the evil. "R" in the goodness of his heart, and in compassion of our want of legal knowledge, advises us to study some work on "the prin ciples and powers of civil government." We feel deeply gratefnl, arid in return beg leave to suggest that the careful study of a good work on the Art of Reasoning would be very beneficial to him. ' ' ' -His last sentence shows what an imraenre appreciation he had of his own article. : He trusts (hot this is Vie lost he shall hear tfthe mailer. That is to say, he has complete y closed up the subject, and has decided the question for the people of the State much better than they could have .done for them selves. We commend Mr. "R's" modesty.

' The Marion (Ohio) Independant says that thirteen human skeletons, of an ex tinct race, were found in an excavation for a cellar in that place lately, and expresses the opinion that the hill upon which the excavation was made is full of similar remains. 4 Two of the skeletons were of females, the rest of male3.

UP in ignorance. - - We would ask the editors of the Advo cate," says this writer, "whence the Lemg. lature derives its power to interfere, m the manner suggested, with parental authority." What does "R" mean by "parental author ty 1" Does he mean to assert, as the whole tone of his article seems to indicate, i that the parent has absolute control of the child? that he may, by virtue of "parental authori ty," allow his child to grow up in ignqrance, to prey upon society ? If this doctrine f the absolute control of the child by.he pa-, rent is true, then parents have a. perfect right to inflict upon their children whatever enormities, either mental or physical, their passions or their whims may suggest ; and the court which condemned Lindsley for wnippmg ni3 cnua xo aeatn. rendered a verdict "flagrantly opposed to natural law and the liberty of the citizen." We contend that the parent has no more right to produce the intellectual and moral iuin'of the child by neglecting his education; than he has to hasten hia physical ruin by inflictions of the lash. ..:. s - - r We are told that such an enactment is opposed to diviue law. The divine law im poses tne duty or education. The; enact ment which we favor is designed to prevent parents from neglecting a duty which the divine law enjoins. We -do not pay that every parent rriust be made to send his chil dren to the public school, or indeed to any school. We simply insist that he shall not bo allowed to neglect their education. How then is such a law contrary to divine law ? It is opposed to natural law, says "R." Let us see.
