Crncinnati, Ohio, Nov. 380, 1869, ‘Tee following points were nade yesterday by Mr. W. M. Ramsey, in his argument before the Superior Court for the plaintiff in the matter of enjoining the school voard from expelling the Bible from the schools:— * ‘To show themselves entitied to the relief prayed for the plaintiffs must establish two propositions— first, that religious instruction in the contemplation of the law 18 an easential element of our common school Aystem of education; second, that the Board of Education of the city of Cimcinnatt has not power to prohibit all reiigious instruction in the schools of the city. The propositions will be met, it may fairly be anticipated, by, first, a general denial; second, by the aifrmation that, irrespective of any action on the part of the School Board, religious mstruction is unlawful. I respectfully submit that reiigious instruction ig an essential part of our common school system of education; but! afirm, with entire confidence as a proposition of law, that had the constitution simply declared that it should be the duty of the Legisiature to establish schools the constitution would be precisely the same; that reiigious instruction would be as clearly contemplated as tt is now by the ex- press language of that instrument, . te then quoted the customs of public schools in other countries and the grants of State au- thority for the establishment of public schools in the United States—Athens and Oxford, Ohio, among other instances—to show that religious in- struction was contemplated. In conclusion he said:—*‘These resolutions forbid all religious in- struction. As | before remarked they are in sub- stance a repudiation not only of Christianity, put of all religion, in the broadest sense of which the term is susceptibte, They clearly constitute such a case a3 was supposed by the Court ip pronouncing its opinion in the Girard will case. 1 desire to adopt and submit to the Court as part of my argument every word of the great argument of Mr. Webster in that case—an argument that was not answered or denied by the Court, so far as its conclusions were concerned. The holding of the Court that Chris. tianity might be taught in the Orphans’ College by ious laymen avoided his conviction without con- roverting his premises.” The argument occupied three hours, Judge Stalls spoke two hours yesterday for the defence and will conclude to-day. He said Ouristianity was no part of the law of the State, for if it were certain duties, peculiarly Christian, must be enjoiced upon, or certain rights Which none but Ciristians possess, The observance of certain virwes, usually called Christian, are enjoined by the State, not because they are Christian, but because they are essential to the good order of society. The State enforces no duty as Curistian duty. ‘The Christian holds no civil right in preference over persons professing other creeds or no creed. Tue Jew, for instance, has the same remedies for wrongs, can sue aud hold prop- erty, office and vote. His synagogue ia exempt from taxation the same as the Clrisuans’ churon, He quoted the case of Bioom vs.Richards, (Second Ohio Reports, section 387.) He contended no power over things spiritual had ever been delegated to government, Christianity was no part of tne com- mon law of Ohio now, a3 was the case with Massa- chusetts, New York and Virginia once; but not in Ohio to-day, thanks to Protestant Roger Willtama, Catholic Charles Carroll and infidel Thomas Jefter- son. To show the diversity of opinion that extated between Christians on the authority of the New Testament he quoted from Kev. Samuel Richardson’s book. He said 1t was not a little curl ous to see now nearly this pescrcne f of Prespyterian divines agree with certain propositions advanced by ‘8 Jesuit father of this city in a recent lecture on the Bible, though the conclusions of the two are widely divergent. The Legisiature of Ohio cannot judge between the two, nor can the Board of Education of the city of Cincinnati be the judge. ‘The honest convictions of both of these memorials should be re- spected by the State of Ohio, THE RED RIVER REBELLION, Organization of a Provisional Government by the Insurgents.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Richardson's symptoms Were of so unfavorable @ character that his medical attendants deemed it advisable to communicate with his friends, 60 that they might be prepared for his oarly dissolution, The result of this was that about half-past six o'clock last eye Mrs. McFariand became Mra. Richardson at tie bedside of her dying husband. The ceremony, which, it is needless to say, Was Soleinn and very (mpreasive, was performed by the Rev, Henry Ward Beecher.

THE DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL Grand Pow-wow in the Executive Mansion All the Leaders Present—Nothing of a De finite Character Decided Upon—Scheme for Remodelling the Governmem of New York ad Presegted=The Keeling in Favor of ederate Measures, ALBANY, Nov. 80, 1869, The grand ppw-wow referred to in Peter Bismarck Sweeny’s political horoscope was, according to pro- gramme, held in the Executive Mansion here tonight. All those invited to participate from New York and other localities distant from the capital arrived here this afternoon, and after @& brief interval assembled in one of the parlors of the Delavan House for a preliminary interchange of opinions upon the several important questions that were awaiting final discussion at the council proper. At seven o'clock precisely the party left the hotel in carriages, in the midst of @ heavy rain storm, for the Executive Mansion, where they were moat cordially welcomed by Governor Hottman, The hour of meeting was seven, and it was somewhat past cleven when tho members of the council returned to the hotel, so that it may be inferred the consultation was a prolonged one, A great air of mystery prevails with regard to fwhat transpired, and, as the proceedings were entirely private, those present are restrained from violating the confidences of the occasiun. It is understood that there were representatives from every part of the State; that all who were ex- pected attended, witn the exception of a few whose absence was accounted for. Ex- Governor Seymour was not present. It will be remembered that he sustained a serious accident out West through the cars running off the track, the injury being a sprain of the back, since which time he has been more or lessan invalid. Judge Auen and Attorney Genera: Champlaim wore engaged in the heat of the great Erie-Susquebanna case at Rochester, and were also absent, All the other State officers were present, including W. W. Wright, the new Canal Commissioner. The most prominent of those present were:—Lieutenant Governor Beach, Delos De Wolf, Senator Tweed, Mayor Hali, Comp- troller Connolly, Peter B. Sweeny, 8. J. Tilden, Wil- liam Cassidy, Jos. Warren, A. P. Laning, Senator Nichols, William Pursell, of the Rochester Union, and Senator Henry ©. Murphy, of Brooklyn. It has transpired that the meeting was not called to decide definitely upon measures of State policy, but for preliminary consultation on the topics to be embraced in the coming message of the Governor, and the beginning of a system of general consulta- tions throughout the party, whiqh is to be the guid- ing policy of the State administration. Before any definite action 1s decided on in regard to legislative Mattters or appointments, the members of both branches of the Legislature are to be consulted, The subject of appointments did not come up in any form, though no doubt each gentieman present had hoped to seize the opportunity to secure Executive endorsement in advance. It is reported that the proceedings were opened by remarks from Governor Hoffman, setting forth the objects of the consultation and presenting the topics which engage his attention, and as each subject was presented the views of the gentlemen were freely and fully submitted. Of course the democratic policy being s0 clearly defined there were No discussions on any of the topics presented. The discussion embraced the subjects of the canals and their improvements, the policy of reducing the tolls, municipal government, involving the republican commissions, the Registry law, the Excise and Police Boards, The fifteenth amendment was also considerably discussed with entire unanunity in regard to the policy to be adopted in dealing with it. In regard to New York affairs, it is understood that a gentleman from that city pre- senied @ scheme for remodelling the government aud the bills embodying the requisite changes, A general feeling prevailed in favor of conserva- tive and moderate action; but one thing can be definitely settled, that the control of all the departments referred to, including the powers now lodged in the various commissions, will be devolved upon democrats representing the party in that city, and commended for their execu- tive abilities and capacity. Itis evident that the gentlemen at the head of the republican commissions may commence preparations for an early departure therefrom, The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed and the consultation terminated with a supper, which was most cordially participated in by all the gentlemen present. ‘This consultation is but the prelude to others of a like character which will, no doubt, be soon called together. DESIGNS OF THE DEMOCRACY. The Croton Board—Will the Democracy Drown Itt—A Neglected Piacer=The Fire Departe ment—Will It be Extingalshed ¢ The designs of the democracy are, by theirown showing, of such an extensive character that in the aggregate they fairly overwhelm the ordinary demo- cratic mind. New York city, in a municipal sense, is to be turned topsy turvy, the whole machinery of local government, under which a million of happy inhabitants flourish and get fat, is to be so over- hauled that nobody will recognize tne originals, and everything over which the State or city has any control is to be knocked into another shape. There is to be @ general housecleaning, from the sub-cellar to the attic, and a setting out of the furniture for the country’s admira- tion in the big struggle of 1872. Tbe tax levy is to be reduced—on paper. The grandest schemes of in- ternal improvement will be broached, and New York, under the shrewd management of its Hoffmans, Halls and Sweenys, taking the van and flinging out the banner of progress, will bring the other good democratic States into line and march oh to victor; and the White House. When nig pas | & effect it is neediess to say the demo- cratic ty will make the country once more erful, prosperous and contented. Locally, jurse, there is a vast deal of specula- tot aE to wit Ynight be the extent and limit of the patronage now in the hands of the Governor and Legisiature of the State. The commissions in this city are not overlooked in the calculations. Every republican ofMice-holder in the metropolis not in the United States service 1s already marked out for the fatal axe, and one to six good and true democrats are consoling themselves with the hope of being asked to fill his place. Of course there are many among the mass of office-holders whose polltics were never clearly defined, and took, chameieon-like, the complexion of whatover party ruled the roast, who Will stay in and draw their salaries as of yore; but there 18 no aenying the fact that New York never contained #90 many hungry democratic oMice- seekers as it does now; and the clamor watch the united crowd will raiso, Orst at Albany and then down here, will be something perfectly appalling. Should the Mayor of this city get the power vac) again of appointing the yen to Manage tuo commis- sions, of course thes@ yuen will employ their own friends wherever there is room to put them, and if there be no room make them atiluent and happy with easy and profitable simecures. The Cro‘on Board ia looked upon in many wards of this city a8 an institution where a somewhat sinart man With ap easy censcience can make a fortune in afew years. The Croton Board, as everybody kuows, has the work of paving streets aud laying pipes and drains.

There are three commisasionors—Messrs, Btephe Darragh and Greon, Messrs, Darragh and Greene ai republicans. Mr. Greene is also engineer of the Bourd—an arraugement which, though sanctioned by time and custom, t# evidently Wrong. The engineer should certainly be no more than an officer of the Board, for if he be a member he site in judgment on his own acts and ignores the responstbillty properly attaching to bia oiice, The democrats have & chance of making @ reform here, Mr. Craven, when engt- neer, was also 8 member of the Board for quite a number of years, but the effect of his holding the tg of member was to seal the i of bis col leagues wnen they might feel impelled to jadg- ment on his acts or even to su; certain obvious improvements, Mr, a, Who bas been In we Croton Department tor seven years, thinka there (a iittie doubt that the iglature will restore tho wer of commissioners to the ‘or, hat @ number of petty removals wi!) ry : ae wu fodlencess as oe. err mong mola n sole! romote an: ot the pi ue inter pod heviug abuntange of his own to render him independent of political pap.

According to & oorrupt man in the Croton Board might retire alter his term of office on the snug accumulation of $600,000. Of course anybody can see the opportunities ited by tiis institution to enable @ man thus to enrich himself. There sre the contracts for street paving, one of which tbe other day was givep out for — $1,000,000; A what might made to support one or two hundred sinecures for deserving young men who run the machine in vari- ous wards of the city. The influence in election times which the Crocon Board could exercise 18 not vo be overestimated. ‘fhe army of laborers on the streets and sewers might be counted on to vote as one man whatever way the Board said; but perhaps this would be a superfluous power, a8 the same army can be got to vote any day by a Tammany agent as one man or one sheep, Just as they are led. From water to fire 13 a ratuer sudden transition, but from the Croton board to the Commissioners of the Fire Department is & natural turn in connection with the subject of what are the desigus of the democ- racy. General Shaler, of course, has no idea of What the assembled wiseacres at Albany wiil decide to do with the department under his control, but he is cheerfully prepared at any time to turn over his Charge and place his successor within one hour in 1on of the entire workings of the department. jé has nothing to feel ashamed of in its aduiniatra- tion, nor of the work it accomplished since the day it was organized. He is proud of its record, and will ever uphold the wisdom and [fore- sight that planned and prosecuted its establishment. He believes in keeping it strictly aloof from poiitical influence as being a deparument of all others most vitally Seis: the interests of all classes of ciu- zens. The Board 1s as fairly balanced as could be desired—two republicans, two democrats and one neutral memoer. Politica find no place in their councils, and the duty for which the public pay them is the first and foremost consideration of their offical thoughts, Albany wil deal gingerly with the Fire Department.
