Jtis ot 50 certain, then, that all schools yould extract from the Bible the same spe- cific morelity, any more than the samo the- OO0 i the Bible be ot readin theschools, ust they mecessarily be left without any zonlity 2 Surely mot. For the leading ints of our system of - social ‘morals yere ot originally derived from the but from notural conscience. The Bible nowhere professes {o teach semdity, 8ud honesty, and = Xkindred itues 25 new idess, original with the wiiters. It always appeals on these points i the consciences of those whom it ad- dresses, whether - they be Jews, Christians, orheethen. Paul expressly argues, in his istle to the Bomans, that every man, adide from revelation, has the law of God written mbisheart. Indeed, part of the evidence st the Bible is the Word of God is always dsclsred to be that it teaches a pure moral- jty,~that which men see to be such,—which implies 8 patural standard with which we compere theSeriptures. This is corroborated ghst we know of the best class of writ- s i otber religions. A morality os to Jumen intercourse almost exactly parallel with thst incolcated in the ‘Decalogue is #sught m ancient Egyptien, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, and Boman works, and is therefore part of the common inheritance of the race, and belongs to civilizstion. 1t is the basis of modera legislation, ad is the cement of society. As the fiste is founded on it, the public school, as one of the institutions of, the Btate, caunot ignore it. There isnot the lenst donger that any teacher will fail to in- caleate truthfulness, honesty, industry, pu- 1ity, obedience to parents snd to rulers, courtesy, kindness, and all the virtues ordi- parily embraced in the word morality. Such duties are the essentials of human intercourse, are universally sdmitted to be binding, are set forthin all literature, ave the cowrmon law of society, and sre involved, as we have seen, in the very exercises of the school itself. Though few may practice them thor- onghly ead slways, snd many may wink at their violation, they ave in the theory of eserybody—skeptic or believer, Jew or Gen- tle. Itis quito a groundiess alam fo fear that i the public schools are secularized, by tho raling out of distinctively religious exer- cisxg, they will therefore lose the moral ement. THE §9UTH PARK LAND ¥RAUD. The public heve noticed that Senator Buxzrrs has introduced o bill in the Legis- Lotere to sbolish the present Board of South Park Commissioners, and provide for a new Board of Commissioners, to be appointad by ihe Governor and Senate. ~ The public do not, perhaps, understead the resl resson for this proposed Jegislative revolution. It will be remembered that included in oue of the South Parks is a tract of land €ighty acres or more, which, when taken, was under water gnd had only & remote specu- Iative value. The owners and oil others interested in this lend have, by proceedings in the courts, been endeavoring for sev- eral years to compel the Park Commissioners fopoy for this land st prices ranging from 1,000 to §10,000 mn zere. tained 0 verdict for sometling like $6,000 nn sere, which verdict was promptly set aside bythe courts. After a long siege, the par- ties inferested have reached the conclusion {hat the chances for getting $7,000 an acre for the traet of swamp Innd are pretty desperate, g0 they haveresortedto legislatior. - The Park Commissioners have resolately ro- sisted the extortionato demand, aud heve 500 between theso claimants and the pub- lic who are to be taved to pay this demand; gad therefore, between courts aad Commissioners, the job hs become rather Uipromising. This bill, we are informed, has flfl‘x?{ end the legislation of tho present ioners out of office, and the appoint- meat of &'nev; Board, slready selected, who, instesd of resisting this ‘outrageous robbery, will vote to pay for the land at the extrava- guat fates demanded. Legislation is even €ager than Iaw, and frauds. which have be- ome hopeless in the courts'may become tricinplant oy the statute-book. We gues- tion, however, 'whether the Legislature will ‘“‘dfifllk'e 1o force & land-purchase at sellers’ Prices over the judgments of courts and in £vesion of Iaw, and hence we heve no doubt that this bill will receive its quictus without ing 3 law..

Regular Meeting of the Demo- cratic City Committee. A Mowning Brother Dencunces the + Tripartite Commission, And Wants the Democrats fo Wash . Their Hands of It A 'Resolution Offered Denouncing the Oounty Commissioners as Fraunds, It Fails to Pass, Sinee 1t Would Dreak Ep the Party. The regular weekly meeting of the Democrat- ie City Executive Committee was held yesterday afternoon at the headquarters in the American Express Building, Monroe street. Mr. John Mattocks presided, and Mr. H. F. Merritt acted as Secretary. The attendance was large, and embraced a number of the shining lights of the Democracy. -~ On motion the Committee on Ward Organiza- tion was increased to nine members, as follows; William J. Onahan, Malcolm McDonald, Churles Audrien, Michael Evans, George J. Hoffman, William Wissenback, Ald. Wheeler, George W. Hotaliog, and George B. Baynes. After transacting some unimportant business, the meeting was declared informal to give the sentlemen present an opportunity to spesk and present resolutions. Mr. A. C. Storey was then requested to take the chafr. KICKING. Mr. A. Hooten said he felt badly sold, and that the party Lad been badly sold, and he would therefore introduce the following: ‘Wiueneas, The Electoral tribunal has refused 10 adwit the evidence which was introduced in the Quo warranto proceeding in the case of the Florida ZElectoral vote, it Is evident that every principle of evidence, law, and justice have thereby béen tlagrantly violated; and Wirznzas, -1t is evident that the precedent_thus get will be followed in the case of Louisiana, South Carolina, and Oregon; and WuEereas, It isplain to be seen that a ml{ofi!y of the Ltepublican members of -the tribunal are governed entirely by their partisan feelings, and will uot adwmit evidence to show frauds perpetrated by the Returning Uonrds, and that an impartial and just decision cannot be expecied from them; therefore, be it & Rexoled, That we insist that evidence of frands should be admitted, and unless said tribunal comes 10 2 2ense of its duty, and admits such evidence, we advise the Democratic counsel towithdraw from the case, and the Senators and Represcutatives to withdraw from the Commission. Mr. F. E. Richards thought there was no ne- cessity for the resolution. The Commission would undoubtedly take the same action in the Loulsians case, but their party would still have 2 chance of winuing the Presidency when the Oregou matter cume to be considercd. - MRt HOOTEN felt called upon to say something in defensc of the Demovratic party. 1f everything was fair and above board, he would be satisfied even if Mr. Hayes should be declared President, but he Wwas not disposed to submit tamely to such ruscality as bud just taken place in Washington. Alorton had played the part of a clown and Edmunds that of a Methodist class-leader in. Tegurd to this Commission business, which was a vile “concoction !’ against the hooesty of the country. He was ready to_ fight such a stu- pendous piece of raseality. He wanted the af- {airs of the nation adininistered by honest men clected by hLonest votes, and was especially anxious that ail raseals should get their just deserts. The speaker worked himself up fnto 2 fine “state of frenzy at this point. aud alared those in Iis immediate vicinty by the violent manner iu which he swung his arms around. One or two of the audicnee had to move away to a rafe distance duging his impassioned tirade against rascality. ~ As soon as Mr. Hooten stopped there was quite a struzgle for the floor on the pars of sev- eral promiuent orators. Mr. Richards was rec- ognized, and hie scolded the party for uot know- ing what would bring them victory. In elect- ing Judye Davis Scunator, the Demograte had let their chauce of seeuring the Presidency pass by; they had allowed themselves to be outwitted by the Republicans. ‘There were strong protests against being lect- ured in this mauner, and, to choke off the speaker, Mr. P. Rafferty moved to lay the reso- lution on the table. Mr. Richards, however, was not to be gotten rid of so easily. He ignored scveral requests to keep quict, and proceeded to say that the party thought that when they had gotten the “ miserable, dirty dog Logan” out of power they had doue the correct thing. But if Davis Lad still been a Supreme Court Judge Samuel d. Tilden would have been the next President. ‘The motion to table was carried on a division, This did not stop the discussion, however. Sey cral others were determined to place them- selves on record. NR. LROWN consoled the mover of the resolution, assuring Lim that he had given up theship too soou. Judge Bradley had voted once with tie Demo- crats with reterence to the cligibility of Elect- ors, and he did not think the Judge would go back on them when the Oregon question was reached. It was well not to ery until they were Lurt. . The Comumission mighi count Florida, Louisiana, and two votes in Oregon, and they would still have ihe l‘resldcuc{. [Anplause.. Mr. ITooten was inconsolable. “They had, he @eclared, been too Icnient all the time. Time and again they bud been sold out on such ex- pectations, and he had lost all confidence in a man when he ignored his own record. Judge radley voted right on an unimportant point, ‘but as soon s a question with sn actual Lottomn 10 it was reached he weut into the old rut again. The Chairman expressed the opinion that Judge Bradley would e all right when the erit- ical moment arrived. e had practiced under the gentleman, and had a great opinion of his honor and consistency. The final result of the Commission” would "be the declaration of Tilden a5 President.- Tney should take conrage from the fact that they only necded one vote to olect, while the Republicans needed all. Mr. Richards took 2 more despundent view of the ontlook, stating that when the crisis arri eg Judge Bradley would be arrayed aguinst them. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. A motion to adjourn stopped further discus- slon on this subject. The. motion was with- drawn to allow Mr. W. J. Onahan to preent a resolution, which was as follows: ‘Wnrnras, A bill is now pending before the Gen- ernl Assembly providing for u reorganizution by mexnsof 3 new clection of the Board of County Cowmlssioners of Cook County; and o Wiencas, The. existing Board of Connty Com- missionors s Justly forfelted public contidence by reason of the well-founded belief in the public mind that the county institutions are run in the interest of a cluse ring of uncrupulons contractors, and that 2 majority of the Board are in collusion with- those partiés for the purpose of personal aiu, and thut all important contracts let Ly said oard ure farmed out in total uisregard of public interests; therefore, be it ~ Reaolved, That the Democratic City Executive Comnuttee heartily recommend the passage by the Legialature of the proposcd bill for the reorzantza- tion of szid Board us demanded by the best inter- ests of the City of Chicago and ‘County of Cook, and by the almost unanimous desire of the citizens and taxpayers. ° Mike Bailey moved the passage of the pream- ble and resolution. 3 Col. Snowhook called attention to the fact that the Committee was not in session, and that the resolution was evidently intended for - the cousideration of that body. IR, ONAUAN sald this was supposed to” be a meeting of the Democratic party of Chicazo, and was concerned in everything which affected the interests of the city, uod of “the party. The majority of the County Comrmissioners were elected by the Democrats, and they bad aright to discaim anything done by the Board which touched on corruption or infidelity to the interests of the people. [Applause.] The testimony agaiust the Commissioners was so unanimous that it seemed to him that the party owed it to jtself to diséntangle itself from any connection with | that corrupt Board.- There could be no - harm in the passage of ‘the resolution; on the contrary, they would dispjay- much wisdom In severing suy political relations that might exist between them- and- the County Board. . The Democretic party wauted houest Government, and did not desire to be associated with any family mansgement of county con- tracts. . 3 ( 1t was moved to resume executive session in order to take gction ou the resolutions.® * The Chairman did ‘not think this necessery, Any matter of interest to the Democratic part; was " perfectly in order, but it might be as - weil to understand that any action of the meeting would not bind the Commitice. . There was some demurring t6 this, and to prevent any duficalty, Mr. Onshan moved to go iuto regular session.” * - “ Mr. Mattocks moved to amend so that the resolution could be discussed by all present. ¥ ense amount’ of talk ensued a3 to "afternoon next. what course should be pursued in this respect, and a disposition .was evinced to postpone the consideration of the resolution till the mext meeting of the Committee on the ground that several members, including John Rountree, who might wish to have a say in the matter, had left the room when the formal session terminatedd Mr. Onahun said he hod no desire that there should be any curtailment of debate on the sut- joot; on the contrary, he wished to clicit the full sentiment of the meeting. It was a ques- tion for them to consider whether they would ldcnflcfy themselves with the nefarious acts of toe County Commissioners and admit, in 2 measure, responsibility therefor, or by adopt- ing the resolution disclaim_all connection or sympathy with the corrupt Board. . ¥ MR. SHEPHARD wanted any expression on this matter to be given with & formality that would command Tespect in all quarters. He, therelore, thought the Exccutive Committee should pass upon the resolution, but saw no way of rretting back into executive session at that meeting, Mr. Hansborough was also anxious that the }-}xecufi\'c Committee should haye the first chance. Mr. Burke moved to refer the - resolution to the Comumittee. fl,\l{ike Bailey moved to lay on the table. Car- ed. On motion of Mr: Sullivan the resolution was amended 50 as to read as if -2 Democrat meet- ing bad passed it. Mr. Ouaban made another speech in support of the passage. If he understood the temper of the meeting there was a difference of opinion as 0 the justice of the resolution. In presenting it he was only giving utterance to the views of geutlemen surroundivg him. It was absolutely necessary if thoy wanted to control the political proclivities of the city and county for them to cut n\\'fiy from tue Board. |Applause.] Mr. Hansborough had au idea that, beforc passing condemnatory resolutions, the charges asainst the Board should be investigated. The prees was always erying fraud * i conmicetion with the County Board. Would the gentleman, who moved the passage of the resolution, who was at one time a county contractor, inform the meeting whether -thére was any truth fn the charges of collusion between the Commission- ers and contractors. Mike Bailey replied that he had no connection with the present Board. It was three years ago that he was a county contractor. :* COL. SNOWIOOK asked it there was any proof of the nefarious ncts charged arainst tie Commissioners_excent what was derived from the papers, - He had great respect for the press, but still he could not believe all that it set forth. They should 1ot go it blindon ,this matter simply because the Commissioncrs were- called thieves and scoundrels. If trust was placed in the news- papera hy their readers, they might believe that cvery office-holder was a nefarious vababond. Noone could sy tositively that any sinele member of the Board had robbea the peoble. There was also a Jack of information in regard to the bill mnentionedin the resolution, and it was unwise to fndorse anythfug until they were acquainted with its objects. Mr. Brown_lknew nothing about the County Board. Tie TRisoNE had made certain charges sgainst them, and that was prima facie evidence of their truth. Denwiitiation, however, would come from them with better grace after 8 com- mittec bad investivated the charges and found them correct. The men should be given un op- portunity to defend themsclves before being classed amoug thieves und scoundrels. Mr. Hooten was also opposed to banging men first and trylog them afterwards. Mr. Burke remarked that some of the Com- missioners were now under indictment, Mr. Hausborough felt compelled to affirm that indictment was not conviction. Mr. Beckingtonwas opposed to the passage of the resolutions prior to an investigation. ~ He moved to strike out thut portion which *slan- dered » the Board. AR, JON M'NALLY thought the introduction of the resolution was oue step toward the breaking up of the organi- zation of the purgr. By ndolpung it they would 50w the eeeds of discord in their ranks and spoil their chances of success this sprivg. In his opinion there was & conspiracy already in exist- euce to overthrow the city Democracy. Every one who had read Taz TRIBUNE of the past few days could understand that. The resolution ‘was out of place now ; when the Court convicted the Commissioncrs, then they could “purge their Dands” of thew, Mr. Thomas E. Courtney thought the on]f' fault in Senator Robinson’s bill was that it permitted the whole county to elect the Com~ missioners. That provision would give the Board over to the Republicans, but still he would rather be ruled by Lkonest Republicans than dishonest Democrats. Every man who bad watched the course of the County Board during the last two years must be convinced of their Yascality. In'a recent investigation (Ho- gan’s), the majority of the Committee, who had acted as the contractor's counsel, were compell~ ed to report that 25 per cent should be deducted from his Dbills. ad thosc Commissioners (Schmidt and Conly) donc their duty they would bave refused payment aitogether and sued the contractor for his stealiugs during the past few yews, [Appluuse.], - Mr. Brown elso confessed toa small scare in consequence of the bill now before the Legisla ture. It was framed in such a mauner that no Democrat could be elected ou the Board during he next decade. Such 3 movement might stoj stealing, but it would kill every Democratie candidate. Mr. Shephard sug ested " that the resolution should be divided.. The preamble opened with a condemnation of the Connty Board. That proposition was entirely disconnceted with the second part, which urged the Legislatuve to pass a bill referred to in indefinite terms. Stealing was not confined to any party, but would obtain in the Board shepever the opportunities were presented and the inclination existed. He did not think the election of the Commissioners from the county at large wotld securc au honest oard. P Mr. Onahan, in accordance with the above- sugaestion, then moved that the preamble be adopted by the meeting, and-that TUE RESOLUTION DE REPERRED TO THE EXECU- g TIVE COMMITTEE. Hehad the utmost respect for the patriarch Democrat of hisward (Snowhook), but he wished to say that the resolutious were uot his own. He had been requested to -present them by sev- eral members of the Committee, whose opfnions they represented. -[Cries of * Name!") They did not condemn any Commissioner by name, but they condemned all acts of the body that were nefarious in themselves. “I'he Chair pointed out_that il the document was sepurated as proposed there would be noth- ing detinite to vole upon.

SPRINGFIELD, Not a Single Bill Yet Passed by the General Assembly. - Yet 506 Bills of All Kinds Have . Been Introduced. A Proposition to Abolish the Board of Canal Commissioners. e . Legislation Suggested Relative to Sleep- ing-Car Companies. ~ Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. - 8PEINGPIELD, IIL, Feb. 10.~The Legislatare has now been in session six weeks, and not a bill has been passed. Nothing has been done approaching to the framing of a bill to remedy the defects in the revenue system, from which the whole State suffers. But members of both Houses go akead as though lzying out work for a perpetual session, or as though the chief end of each and every individual Solon of them wis to introduce a bill, o, rather, as wmany bills as possible, besides resolutions and petitions as often a8 he can get the floor. Thus it is that already three kundred and fifty-scven bills have been introduced in the House and one Aundred and forty-nins in the Senate. Not one in ten of them can’ be considered even if the session be ‘prolonged, asof course it will, untidl ‘“corn- planting time.” Not one in ten of them is worthy a minute’s consideration. They are simply monuments to the vanity, ignoraace, and_preposterous projects of members who, if they addressed themsclves in earnest to what business oughtto be done by this Asscmbly, could do it. But unless a check be put upon the bill-introducing manta, very little will be doné by this General Assembly, and that little ‘will not be liable to be well done. A LITTLE SHADBY. Smith, of Sangamon, offered the follow- portrait of Mr. ing relative to the purchase of a Speaker Shaw: ‘Wiurress, We recognize and admirc the many estimable qualities of the Speaker of this Housc, and wishing in some sultuble manner to com- memorate ofir appreciation of his fatrness and abil- ty: an ‘Wueugas, We feel that onr_action in voting the sum of $300 out of the public Treasury-for the purpose of obtaining o portrait of the Speaker was unwise in that it establishes a dangerous prece- dent; therefore, be it 3 Resolted, That we hereby reconsider the vote by which such appropriation was made; and that each member of this Ilouse is hereby invited to subscribe the sum of $2, to be expended in procuring a portrait of the Speaker, and that such portraic be prescuted 0 the State, to Ue placed in a suitable position in 1his bailding. When the resolution was offered, Speaker Shaw called Mr. Cronkrite to the chair. Mr. Watkins suggested that, as the resolu- tion making the appropriation came- from the Dermocratic side, it looked shabby to have the Ppresent resotution acted upon. Mr. Swmith thercon withdrew his resolution, whea Mr. Phillips moved u reconsideration of the original resolution. After some further discussion, Mr. Herron reminded - members that the time to have thought of the matter was when the_ orignal resolution came up, and. that it would be a re- markuble performance, after haviug passed the original yeaterday as a compliment to the Speak- cr, to now resolve that it was done by mistake. “The motion to reconsider was 10st, and the matter ended there. Ar. Easton introduced a bill to discourage vexatious litigation by requiring the party resorting to it to pay counsel fees of the other varty. CORRECTION. The statement in the Chicago Journal ais- tehes of last evening thut” Representative Caston voted with the Democrats to take up the resolution condemning the imprisonment of the Louisiana Returning is untrue. * Easton Yoted with the Republicans acainst taking up the resolution and {n condemuation of the arbi- trary action of the Democratic House, and the record shows that Easton so voted. . PAY OF CANAL COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Dunnc offered the following resolution: WHEREAS, It appears by the report of the An- ditor to the'Governor, dated Nov. 1, 1876, that the Canal Commissioners received as compenation for their services the sum of $3,855 each since his lastreport; an WieRsAs, Sald Commissioners are entitled by 1aw to the sium of $5 per day for cach day's actaal service, and said sum by them received wonld be componsation for 731 days during said time, or 30425 dava in each year: and ‘Wieneas, It is apparent that such sum is in ex- cess of what ruid Commissioners actually carned and are jnetly entiliéd-to, and that a correct ad- ministration of the public service demands that sucl Board of Canil Commissioners be reorgun- Ized, and placed upon a loss expensive and a more conscientious, as well asmore eticient basis; there- fore, be it Résolred, That the Commitice on Canals and Rivers are hercby instructed to prepare and report a bill foran act obolishing the present Board of Canal Commissioners, and creatine tho office of Capal Commissioner, who shall be a civil engineer and act as Superinfendent of safd canal, and who shall devote his entire time to said oflice, and who shall have the like powers and perform the same duties as the present Bourd. i ) SILVER.

SLEEPING-CAR COMPAKIES. Mr. Dunne offered the following resolution: ‘Wuzneas, Several slecping-car companies now exist aud operate their cars overthe dilderent lines of railroad in this State: and e WuEREeas, Itis claimed by euch companies that they are not under the control of the Railroad Com- misslon, nor subject to the laws poverning rafl- roads or common carriers; and .\WHEREAS, 1t is mecessary to the salety of the traveling public? that the Iability and accountu- bility of such companics should be defined and en- forced by law; therefore, be it Resolved, the Committee on Railroads be instructed to investigate and repurt to this House, what, if nn{;. legislation is needed to accomplieh the above object. .

MARDI GRAS. Some One Treads on Uncle Sam's Toes. Special Dispaten to The Tridune. NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 10.—As 2 result of the insulting caircaturing of Presdient Grant, Gens. Sherman and Sheridan, and other eminent sfh‘ilcrs and statesmen of the North by the Knights of Momus in their display Thursday night, a very prominent feature of the Mandi | Gras spectacle will be missing this year. It has always heretofore been the Glstom of the arm: officers to allow the bands attached to the dif- fefent regiments to assist, and indeed to furpish the best part ' of the ‘music, and the soldiers to appear under non-commis: sloned oflicers in the parade disguised as Turks, Persians, Kings, ete. Indeed, the Thirtcenth ll\hugr"y band furnished music for the Momus afuir Thorsday night, the army _officers proba- bly not being aware that the” Commander-in- Chief was to be depicted us Beelzebub, and Sherman and Sheridan as other devils in hell with hard names, in the pageant. As a result of the afiront, the oftivers have positively refused to lend their aid to the Mardi-Gras display on Tuesday next. ‘The soldiers themselves gml de- termined that they would not turn out anyway. |- A committee_consisting of Messrs. Oglesby, Baldwin, and Mathers waited on certain army officers to-day to bave their interdict removed, but their request was denfed except: upon con- dition that Rex should issue s proclamation dis- claiming any conncction with the Sfomus insult. Itis thought that Rex, who is popularly be- lieved to be prominently connected with the Louisiana, Lottery Company,” will not dare to take this step for fear of business consequences in this community. —_——— THE UNEMPLOYED.
