Stxtm Warp Rervsrican Civ n.—The regu- lar meeting of this club was held last evening at Mission Chapel, on 10th street east, the Pres— ident, Charles Champion, in the chair. Commissioner E. 8. Atkinson, of the Fifth ‘Ward, addressed the meeting by invitation, and in the course of his remarks in reference to the men of the reform party, charged all who affili- ated with that party with synipathizing with Febels and copperheads. This ps the ire of Councilman R. A. Simms, Pho seemed to think he was the target f Atkinson’s censure. He ‘explained why he voted against the bill last week anthorizing the Mayor to anticipate the revenue to the amount of $250,000. He wanted to see the laboring men paid, but he was satistied that the laborers would never receive a cent of the money, but that it would be squandered by Mayor Bowen as all the other money had been, aud, no doubt, also for electioneering purposes. What right had Bowen's pimps to come here from the a ‘Ward and fling dirt at any member of this club Because such member was opposed to Mayor Bowen? Continuing he said: pent money to elect Bowen, and now I shall do all ean to defeat him without sacriticing my Republi. anism. Iam not 1 Bowen man, now I tell you.” [Several voices. nor I either.”} Mr. Simins.—* No, and ther ain't. ashe wili find out tim. tinuing, Mr. Simms aske impugn b to foot to express one side. He had never made « ¢ Corporation, and if the club was with his course in the Councils tl him to resign. and he would do so at Se don’t resign.” W Mr. Atkinson explained that he did not refer to Mr. Simms, but to those who were disturbing the harmony of the Party. . Mike Shiner then took the floor for his usnal Sermon, which commences ‘‘I’se been in the pw! © rd for forty years.” He admonished the Sixth Ward representatives in Councils, that they must not aifiliate with Holmes, Hatton, or Crane, and claimed that to be a good Kepubli- an. a man must be a Bowen man. The meeting bere dispersed without heari the tongue lashing which it was expected Mik would give Alderman Champiou for hauling him over the coals at the previous mecting, and over which Mike feels so sore that it was thought be would open last night in retaliation. es v th not satisticd Pr CasE OF WALLACH AGAINST WAt e the w. act. Published a few days since the allegations of laintifl in the case of Charles Wali . Wallach, then pending in the Supreme of this District, in w! ain: ich the complainant sought to make W. D.

He was advised by Mr. Fisher how it ould be sold, and the probable brevity of the sale. The complainants ask that the sale to W. D. Wallach, egg yp en be held to have been chased for the benefit of Charles Wallach. fe find in the evidence an idea of sympathy for the family of Charles Wallach, but there is no evidence whatever thai he had tent to benefit Charles Wallach himself. sale there was alarge crowd of citizens— estate buyers—who came to buy property cheap, as all men desireto do. The sale was made in the presence of al! of them, and the trustee. Undoubtedly there was an impression that W. D. Wallach intended to buy for the ben- efit of Charles Wallach’s family, but there is evidence that Mr. W. D. Wallach said or did ything to produce that impression. The trus- ‘tee was there; he made the sale; he ratitied the sale, and there is no attack made on the sale; that is allowed to stand, but the court is aske:l to consider W. D. Wall od in ach as trustee for his brother Charles, in his purchase. This the court can- notdo. “Although the property sold below its cost, below its intrinsie value, yet the evidence shows that it brought a good price at the time it ‘Was sold. It was not more in haif its cost, it is true; not what it sold for when the hopes of the Bation and its capital revived, and it was found ‘that Charles Wallach’s friends could not destroy it. The court ha come to the conciusion to dis- amiss the bill. They consider it a fair case to be resolved by, two brothers under the laws of tra- ternity; that it should be under the rule of the charities, and that God settle the question be- ‘tween them when they have got through. Bill dismissed. — Trish NATIONAL REPUBLICAN AssoctATION ‘The regular monthly meeting of the [rh Republican Association was held last eve: at Will's Hall, on Seventh street; ‘MeM: im the cl ~ The commitiee a pointed at a previous mecting to meet 2 com. mittee of the Central Irish Republican Chih, with the view of consummating a union between the two organizations, reported that they had a Sonal Irish “Kep ‘Chicago in July last be adopted as the platiorin Of the united association; 2d.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Mr. Newton called up the report of the Com. mittee on Rules, adverse to certain proposed amendments, and in quite a lengthy address, he urged the adoption of the amendments. After Speaking of the necessity of explicit ruics as to the Superintendent, he reters to the tact that the committee bad reported unfavorably on the proposed new rule requiring attention to the tainmg of pupils in good manners, the cul- ture of thelr moral percertions, and the prop- er development of ‘h © religious faculties. He says that he bi: ceipated that one por- tion of the rule mi vet with seriéus objec- tions, and it was venturing on disputed and jealously guarded territory. The amendment is predicated upon the undentable facts that the morel and religious faculties of a child constitute us truly a part of its human nature as do its mental and physical powers, and iat the proper development and culture of these faculties are not less important to individual welfare, the good of the community, and the welfure of the State than is the culture of the other powers. “In faet, they are as much entitled to devel- opment and preper training in childood as are any others of our common fa: itlties, and with- ont such culture the character is ‘ne defective and with perhaps a » dull and stunte 1 sens: alack ef religions rial, indeed, trom sharper, the or the’ crimi erly develop and rig lies constitutes true which rejects so import ferred to is seriousiy continued, urging tha would object to. their child: politeness or the dut: justry, tempera’ eachers aud to pul e to parents 1 of doing rs dow rents, would. pre oriels of goOd deportment, née art the simple lessons appropri- ood ard the school room, to give ¢ attention to the training of these pupils © out of place in the school room.

Mr. Newton next considers the second branch of the proposed rule requiring teachers to give attention to the development of the religious i of their pupils, which probably, he precedent in school regulations cities. The reasons for such a requirc- ment are that every child has religious faculties which are entitled to development and culture and without such culture its character 13 unbat ced and distorted. The great object urged is that there exists such a variety of beliefs and non-beliefs in the commu. free toleration of which is guaranteed organic law, that there can be no religic teaching in our public schools without dan, of infringement upon the rights of some ci and thus arousing sectarian opposition. © The proposed amendment does not contemplate teaching of theology—at least, what is co: monly called “revealed theology”—nor of au. sectarian dogma. it merely proposes to aitention to “the proper deeclop: Sfaruiwes” of chikdren—those fa ‘the necessary basis of all religions «: » lo this ina particular w recognizing and the Supre! z eration, lov ‘This is the fun ened religions, to reasonably object, is acknowledged by ¥ exceptions, who are siows sect. ‘In other wh no sect among us ¢ and which, in subst even those, with few o outside the pale of a |. the am , loving and obedient spirit, rather than the = of disputed religious doc- trines—a spirit which is the opposite of the notoriously seltish and unruly tendency of “Young America,” and which is to crowning glory of a noble characte: * * ‘The kind and extent of rc us culture which ame! it seeks to prescribe, while it would interfere with the rights of nosect, would the b&tter prepare the minds of children for special religious instruction elsewhere, as their parents may elect; it wauld generate an adicd power in our schools for the control of the way- without resort to physical re fend to round off th char- acte! ig generation with « symmetr; and beauty whieh none can fail to admires” THE SIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. “More than this, the adoption of some such pro- vision as is here proposed will, in my judzment, Prepare the way for the satisfactory solution of an otherwise troublesome problem that will soon be forced upon tion of our country is of the use or of the Bible as a text bool in public schools.

Mecting of the Republican Club—Mayor Bowen's Adm lion and the Proposed Change of Gov- ernment Discussed. The Republican Club of the Secoud Ward held a meeting last night, a! Cuion Hall,on 1th street. A full attendance ef the present, mostly colored; aivo sor rsof the Club No. 2, reeen'| that ward in opposition to the ;: administration. Chari sioner of the Dr. Purvis was called upon to explain the ob- jectef the meeting, and said, in response, that it should be their highest aim to secure suecess in the next municipal election, which would make all their past efforta fruitful of good re- sults, Theyhad met to swear anew their alle- giance to the party. Some had thought new ans should be proposed; that a change was necessary; but he was one who believed in travel- ing the old beaten grack. It was all important that they should unite to make the party suc- cesstul. "There should be no fillibustering in the tanks. He had been at the First Ward meeting the night before, and had been pitched into be- cause he said that he did not believe in the In- Vincibles of that ward, nor the Fillibusters of the Second Ward. If they did not all agree to abide by the decision on the nominating conven- tion defeat would be their doom. He was con- vineed, after visiting them, that the Invincibles meant to do about the right thing. ‘They had au ly meeting, and the members seemed to be ded by kouesty of purpose. It had been said at the fillibusters of the Second Ward were the true party, but he did not think so. The great mecting at Lincoin Hall had tried to give ¢ the impression that they were the true rep- sesentative men of the party, and so it was—all | cusorganizers were the true’ representatives of she party, according to their own giving out. | but he warned his hearers not to be deceived. | She question for the colored man was whether | the party should continue to grow, or would they turow away their power by becoming ¢ vided. Ju these days policy governs; it was Policy for. the Democrats to oppose the Repub- ican party, because it would be starvation for them; therefore it was that the Irish had gone into the ranks of the Republican party. And it was a grave question whether or not they would continue loyal to the party. They could not af- ford to disagree. ‘The proposition had not come to bring this question of municipal polities up. It was too soon. If gentle: came here to pass “resolves” endorsing the present city gov- ernment, it was all right and proper to do so.

He gave praise to General Grant for his adherence to the principle of equality in invit- ing colored men to his table; and said that te Congress, for having passed the Mth and 15th amendments, too much praise could not be given. He said the resolutions endorsed the present municipal government, which was the most perfect city government we had ever had. He had stood the villitication of Democrats and Coppetheads towards our chief executive ju as long as he intended to. The Republic should support Mayor Bowen, because they lad put him into power; and if be (H.) was contin- ued in his place in the City Councils he would sustain the Mayor to his utmost. The present municipal government was the best that had ever been in power here.

The disorder still increased, and for some tine the meeting was broken up, and curses and bla = phemous epithets were the order of the hour,ur- Ul one of the disturbers was knocked down, and ring the commotion a messenger was sent for the police, who soon came in, and Ingram was (yaeel into custody and marched to the watch- USC. Order was then partially restored, when H. A. Hall advanced to the center of the floor, and stated that the row was raised by one drunken man named Ingram, who had been taken into custody, and another man named Julius Wal- lace, wlio was behaving in the same manner as Ivgram, and would have to be arrested also. Wallace here jumped up, and confronting Hall, called him “a liar,” and dared him outside the hall to fight him. Major Hall appealed to the crowd, and asked if he had any nds in the room. [Cries of “Yes,” “Yes, and many rushed up to his assistance. Finally Wallace was quieted, after calling Hall all the hard names he could think of, and order was restored again, when Wallace went out, saying as he left that Hall was a nice man to me, eee them in the City Councils, as he did nothing but loaf around faro banks and gambling saloons. After Wallace left the room Prot. Green fin- ished up his speech on the city press, intimati that the policy of these attacks onfree speech was to defeat the Kepublicans at the coming election. He denounced an article which ap- peared in this ‘periodical newspaper,” which ore so heavily on the law of license on free speech, and said that no paper or individual could intimidate him from doing his duty fear- lessly by resolution or otherwise.
