THE stilfL6 IN COMMON lICHOOI
The agitation in regard to the eAciu
, sion of the Bible from the Common
Schools continues. The religious
journals of the country genertilly,with
the leading secular press, have been
discussing the matter pro and con—the
general line of argument belt:gin favor
of exclusion either as a matter of right
or as a concession requisite to save the.
Common School system itself. Practi
cally, we presume there are few l i t-suy
Schools in which the Bible is usell as
a text-book—graded Readers, specially
prepared by practical educators, being
found as essential to successful teach
ing in this department as in Arithme
tic, Grammar, Geography, Philosopb#,
'fiThere was a time; long years ago,
when Pike's or Jesse's- Arithmetic,
Webster's Speller, and the New Testa
ment, constituted the text-books of day
Schools. Not so now. Hence the
question of its exclushin is mainly 'a
theoretic one, and if the Concession will
'atop the clamor against our Common '
School system or disarm essential hos
tilityoto it, by silencing the cry of sec
tarianism, much will be gained. We
cannot afibrd'to endanger our system
-of popular education—nor is It. a Ise to' ,
prejudice it by courting au agitation
*which must array against it the bit
ter hostility of the Catholic Church,
in addition to the, powerful influences
always at work against id ucationtased
on taxation. When it comes to striking
down the Common Scheollystem it
self—or what is virtually the same
thing, appropriating the school fund
to the support of 'sectarian Schools—
there will be little or no difference be
tween the true friends of popular edu
cation. • Presbyterians, Lutherans,
Methodists. Reformed, Episcopalians,
and Catholics, have, of -course, a right
to organize and supporta/many parish
Schools as they see fit; but they have
no right to demand aid from the State.
The argument for the exclusion 1f the ,
Bible from our Common Schools ou
t& ground of sectarlanisM, as repug
nant to the provisions of our State and
National Constitutions, will apply
with even more direct power against
the maintenance of purely sectarian
Schools by State aid. An unsectaria
system of State education does not
necessarily imply an irreligious sys
tem. One of the central Ideas of our
Government is religious liberty. 'We
have grown to be a great nation be-.
cause here religious liberty is best un
derstood and most perfectly enjoyed.—
We-represent in our people all shades
of religious opinion and belief, and
while the reading of the Bible in our
Common Schools can do no body any
harm,there does seem to be plausibility
in the demand that neither the Prot
&stant nor -Donny, version of the
Scriptures should be insisted on in
Schools . embracing the children of
Protestant., and Catholics. On this
point the Catholic Church is a unit,
and is backed by t h e whole body of
Jews, Freethinkers, and many Protest
ants. By yielding' _this point, the
charge of_attWianism, alwaSTrpecious
:....u - potent among the masses, is re
moved, and any further assault upon
the Common School system must
Aand ou the basis of hostility to popu
lar education—a basis which will Make
a simple square issue,that can be ea , ly
met and promptly decided.
Tut; example of the Presbyterians in
uniting in one Church organization
after thirty years of division Is having
its effect upon the Methodists. Like
the Presbyterians, their divisions have
not proceeded from doctrinal dissen
sions, but from questions of moral and
ecclesiastical discipline. The Protestant
Methodists withdrew from the miither-
Church on the question of lay repro:
Natation in their ConfereneeS; and on
the appointment of ministers by the
Bishops. So far as appointment; are
concerned, the power of the Bishops
to appoint has been so modified that it
is pretty generally known before a
Conference assembles where the princi
pal portion of them are to 'be assigned.
The admission of the laity to the Gen
eral Conference, on which the Protest
ant Methodists withdiew, has at last
triumphed, and a .movement will be
inaugurated for a re-unftm of the tw o
bodies. The abolition of Slavery, has
removed the rock which split the
Methodist Church North and South,
and although. the recent overtures of
the Northern:Bishops, looking to a re
union, were rejected .by the Southern
Bishops, we may look for an early
consolidation of the different branches
of this- powerful religious organiza
tion.

The only hope of her loyal people lies
in the 70,000 colored voters who next
year, finder the Manhood Suffrage
amendment, will have a voice in
Maryland politics. Winter Davis had
sagacity enough to see drat Maryland's
adhesion to Republicanism depended
on the enfranchisement of the colored

Wm. M. Randall, of Schuylkill, was
the Democratic caucus nominee, for
Speaker, but Senatbre Buckalew ;Ind'
Brown refused to vote for him. On
the announcement'of the vote a sharp
passage took place between Randall
and Buckalew. Randall said he !qid
not expected to receive Mr. Buckaleves
vole ; he had not looked for the vote of
any renegade," to which Buckalew re
plied that "it was unnecessary to re
epond to such an observation coming
frcite such a source." Mr. Buckalew
was U. S. Senator for six years, his
time expiring on the 4th of March last,
when Senator Scott succeeded him.—
He will be a leading man in' the Ren

When the Somerset district was call
ed two certificates wete offered, one by
Findlay (Dem.) and one by Scull
(Rep.) Mr. Wallace moved to admit
Findlay, as
_having a prima fucie
claim, butl.on motion of Mr. White the
matter was referred to a special com
mittee of three to report within six
days.
• •
As the Democrats liad'a majority of
one of the old Senators holding over,
an attempt was. made by 'Wallace to
get Findlay Into his seat before the new
Senators were sworn in. But the
Speaker ruled the motion out of order,
aud that the Senators eject whose seats
were uncontested must be sworn in be
fore any motion could. be entertained:
Wallace appealed, but the Speaker re
fused to entertain the appeal, and or
dered the new Senators V) be sworn.—
This gave the Republicans a majority--
Wallace's nice scheme was nipped in
the eud, and the senate proceeded to
organize.

(kit. Geary's Message was sent to
the Legislature. on • Wednesday. It
reaches us too late for Publication this
Week, being a lengthy docuwent, coy
ering 30 octavo pages. As we expect
to give. it in full in our next issue, W e
content ourselves to day with a brief
abstract of its more important provis
ions. - •
The message opens with a reference
to the blessings of health and prosperity
illjoyed during the year, and urges the
responsible nature of the duties devolv
ing on the Legislature.
The State Finances are represented
to be eminently satisfactory. The re
ceipts from all sources during the year
amounted to $6,254 636.65, and the ex
Peuditures to $4,853,774.16, leaving a
balance of $F,400,66149 in the Treas
ury.
The StiteiDebt on the 30th of No
vember, 1869, was W,814,540.95. At
the beginning of Gov. Geary's sclulitt
istration in 1867 itstood at $37,704,409.
77. Since then the debt has been re
duced .51,889,868.82—0 f which $472,-
406.18 were paid the last year.
The Governor renews the recom
mendation thatlthe. Leg islatu re require
the large balances accumulating, from
time to time, in the hands of ItheState
Treasurer, to be invested in State bonds,
whereby a large saving to the Treat.-
111 would be secured; and the 'dis
graceful annual scramble for that office

There are within- the State 1,971
school districts; 13,06 schools i 2,4A5

and 615,753 pupils. The average cost
of tuition for each pupil is ninety-sev
en•cents per - month. The whole cost
of tuition for the year is 63,500.704 8 .
Total owl, including expenditures of all
kinds during the year, $6,986,148.92.
Estimated value of school property
. $14,045,632. - It is estimated
_that 6500
Children are %Vending private schools,

dors, 518 on age, and 51 have died,
leaving 3,631 at the end *of the year.—
It Is estimated that $534,500 will be re•
quired tti support these schools during
the next year.
'The' Governor recommends the es
tablitthurent of a Home for Disabled
Soldiers, and the, adoption orMitable
legislation to bring the insurance cow

County officials, and through the
Compiler we have the admission that.
the County Debt,
."after decittetinje

beitsaumed Under the Compiler's ad

borhood of $50,000.. This will be
startling news to the tax-payers of the
County. From the Compiler's own

As to the_qmtptiler's lahored defence

we shall have something to say here
after— simply remarking now that this

American Republic, and his al,siion
went of English citizenship is evidence
of the sincerity of his convictionii
close study of the tendencies of politi

sion that the United States is to beconie
the 6entre., of the English race, and
that Great Britain and all her colonies
are destined at no very distant day to
form very intimate relations with this
Republic, one result of which will be
to maintain t genuine equilibrium
among nations, and to abolish the
-enormous' military establishments
which now everywuese burden audex

—Compiler.
The "Stal-'s opinion" is that "Bor

by the Government, and was now out of

certain things, cordage and canvas in part
for refitting the ship, 'so that be alight get

who he was or prove the truth of his story,
and none where called for by the Seeetary.
Mr Stanton eyed the man with doubt and
suspicion ; cuidage and canvas were con
traband of war, and be thought the tale .a
mere 'cover for trade with the enemy. Re
stood silent for a moment, and then broke
out in wrath. His fist words were : "I've
a good mind to send you to the Old Capt

two, and then, evidently Supposing his re

speak again—hesitating and. stammering,

not loud, but you could not help feeling
:hat it was intense with passion,- "Nut an

with such a story ? Permit to send cordage
to New Orleans ? No eta no sir ; you'll

This view illustratei one side of Mr.

the public service— he did not always have

Mr. Suwon said it palsied him to see the
opinion so prevalent that Mr. Lincoln was a
habitual joker, and never serious. He said
It was a great error, and relived the follow
lug incident to prove the injustice of the
popular impression : Mr. LincAn was very
sensitive of the criticisms of the newspi
per mesa believing it, as he alerted, the
true yoke of the people. The Whites of
McDowell and AL:Ciel I an, and Burnside and
Pope, with the Army 'if the Potomac, and
the accompanying criticisms of the u, we
papers, bai almost crazed him. Time and
again he would free himself from the White
House, and seek Mr. iStantun's little °Blew,
the only place in Washington, he often re
wher e he was live front bote,i.
often talked to Mr, !Manton of resi; , tilug, or
pressing on Congress the propriety of giv

that he conceived the idea of put. lug Hook

thinking him an honest and biome pall lot

The Resident would walk from the White

About 7 o'clock the President closet! bia

agreed to spend the time together until

At Sleepy Hollow, near Boughltecple, N.
Y., on New Year's Day, a man named V.
W. Buckbout perpetrated a triple murder , ;--
the victims being his own wife, Mr. Alfred
Kendall, a New York merchant, and Charles
Rendall, a son of the latter. The tra.dy
occurred in the locality Mutton disedisy
ou
Washington 1, ving's legend. It is ty
.known that the Iwo Holdalls Went to Buck
hoot's house on Saturday morning, to 1 ,3 Y
him a friendly visit. Not more than ten
minutes bad elapsed atter the Rend:llls wore
E 4 ,111 to enter the fatal home when Mrs.
Frances Weeks, living near Back limit, heard
two reports from the discharge of a gun in
quick anci-ession, but she at first paid no at
tention U. !LW matter. Her win:n:ly curi
osity prevailed in 1 stud t tim e, and she pro
Geedvd towards the hors", meeting Buck
bout, who pissed her wl- bout ikl ,, g. Ou
entering tie open door u tert ib:e scene pre
sented itself to the woman s lona Hied vis
ion, at d she fled id' ierros from the spot.—
Some other pets: is wan were near caught

covered the dreadful event or the tragetly.
In Cite sitting room Allred Rentiall was dis
covered seated on a chair, his feet massed,
dead, and surrounded by a pool of blood,
his neck having received the murderous
charge of I.uckstiol, which severed.tue cu
fold artery and divided the spinal chord,
pi °diming instant death. Tit- deceased still
held in his hand a potion of a goblet, out
of which he had bt.ert drinking cider, audit
is thought that when lie first saw Buckbout
point the weapon at him be instinctively
raised the glass to protect himself, tied the
shot striking this carried away the upper
put of it, tiyin2 Weeding and Insensible
on a SO la in the same apartment was rOlllOl
' Charles Rehdall, having received a ft ightful
wound In the. right temple, which ha I pen
etrated the eye and curie(' away a pratlou
or the face. In a kitchen a:gaining the
siting room lira. Buckbout lay apparently
dead, her skull smashed in a sickenik . g man
ner by blows from a gun; the stack of which
lay in Splinters around the ill-fated woman.
Having emptied both chambers of a (limbic
barrelled gun into the bodies of the Ren
dallti it would appear that Buckbout entered
the kitchen, and having broken the stock of
the gun Into fragments on the head of his .
wife, struck her again - with the barrels,
oinking the hamtners of the triggers into
her brain. She expired shortly after being
discriverett. Charles Rei.d all trt once bad
anginal attention, but he was Insensible and
it was thought impossible he could survive,
his injuries bning considered of a fatal na
ture.
After leaving the house Buckhont walked
about a mile to the dwelling of Ira Miller,
one of his neighbors, and on approaching
him exclaimed, "I'm a ruined man ; I shot
Charley Rendall." The former expressed
his dtsbellef of the statement, when Buck
hoot repeated tbe words, and, handing hint
at revolver, said, "I surrender myself to
you; take we to Tarrytown, ap i_fp•tr the
eighbcus are after me and will lynch me : 7
After "endings messenger to ascertain the
truth of Buckhout's assertion, Miller drove
him to Tarrytown and gave hini into the
custody of o"nstable Alfred Lawrence, who
took Itim to White Plains jail.
Mr. Rendall was about city gyp years
old, and wee esteemed by a numerous circle
of friends. His body, was removed to his
lite residence on Sunday afternoon. The
remains of >lLta - fklekbout were also con
veyed to fang Oing by her afflicted rept
tittee. trio4ve has as pip bt!en advanced
for the assassination, and the general let
pre•aion appears to be that 110cithont was
ldlriog under a fit of insanity when he
perpetrated the shocking deed. For ha
mituity's sake it is earnestly to be hoped
that this theory will be substantiated.
