The decision of Superintendent Weaver denying the legal right of school trustees to make religious instruction part of the regular school exercises will receive the approval of every fair-minded man. In this age, when the spirit of religious liberty is abroad, it is somewhat startling to find a large body of citi- zens desirous of exercising a spiritual tyranny by compelling the attendance of children at religious teaching to which they entertain a conscientious objection. The introduction of the Bible into the public schools has been the cause of constant irritation and ill-will between the different Christian sects, and each day seems only to increase the bitterness of the parties. The contest at Long Island City last fall became serious, and something in the shape of a religious war was threatened. Roman Catholic children refused to be present at the reading of a Protestant Bible, and the trustees, with an ardor for the principles of civil and religious liberty beyond all praise, expelled the insubordinate Catho- lics. This exhibition of liberality and respect for the opinions and convictions of others led to a series of protests on the part of the Catho- lic minority, which terminated in an appeal to the Superintendent. The legal right of the trustees to enforce the reading of the obnoxious Bible has been de- cided to have no existence, as the schools are provided for secular, and not for religious, in- struction. At the same time it is held that if religious people wish their children to read the Bible the trustees are at liberty to appoint a time before or after the regular school business for religious instruction, at which attendance will not be compulsory. This isa reasonable solution of the difficulty, and will give general satisfaction to all but the ‘“unco guid,’’ who never enjoy complete Christian peace but when they are persecuting others for the love of God. However, as these splenetic devotees are not very numerous among us, the public can afford to be indifferent as to whether they are pleased or not. It is of the first importance to the well being of the republic that the public schools shall be popular with the people, in order that there may be no excuse for ignorance among our growing population. In order that they may be so it is necessary that the rights of all the children shall be scrupulously respected. Religions freedom in the widest sense must be enjoyed by the pupils, not the garbled liberty which means that every one shall be forced to accept whatever religious teaching the school trustees may consider good. To tam- per with the right of conscience-is infinitely a greater outrage than to impose disabilities, and one less likely to be borne patiently. The agitation on this school question was be- coming really dangerous to the existence of harmonious relations between the different sects, and we hope that the reasonable and just decision of Superintendent Weaver will form a precedent that will be followed all over the country wherever mixed schools exist. It is so palpably an outrage to compel the at- tendance of children upon obnoxious religious instruction that vo amount of sophistry can justify or covers, ‘ch a violation of natural right. All classes are interested in the just settlement of this question, because there is no protection that the persecutors at one point may not become the persecuted at another, if we are to accept the doctrine that the majority have the right to impose their religious in- struction on the minority. Such a proposition, when advanced nakedly, appears monstrous; yet this is just what the Long Island trustees have been guilty of in the case of the Catholic children under their charge. It appears these model Christians are not content with the impartial and highly credit- able decision of the Superintendent. They have resolved on an appeal to the higher au- thorities, resolving not to abandon their privi- lege to do evil so long as they can possibly hold on. The actions of these men fur- nish a strange commentary on the Chris- tianity of which they put themselves forward asthe champions. There is more of the cruel and oppressive spirit of ministers of evil than of the gentleness and meekness of followers of Christ in the conduct of these Bible lovers. Their obstinate resolve to main- tain the obnoxious system will be condemned by every one with a pretence to liberality. Such an exhibition of bigotry is worthy of the Dark Ages, and marks out the actors for the contempt of all Whose minds have learned alike to scorn Bigots in Rome or England born. We hope the appeal made against Superin- tendent Weaver's decision will be rejected, and that the non-sectarian character of our public schools shall be authoritatively declared. All citizens are taxed to support them, and the course of instruction ought not to be ob- noxious to any sect. This is but common ustice, and we believe that the good sense and ove of fair play inherent in the American people will insist on justice being done in this matter. "EGYPT.

RAS Secretary Fish’s Preparation to Meet the President in Boston—The Supplemental Article Correspondence—A “Blind” in Diplomacy and Its Uses. WASHINGTON, June 22, 1872. Secretary Fish intended to leave here this even- ing for New York, but the unexpected turn in affairs at Geneva compelled him to defer his de- parture until to-morrow evening, when, if nothing intervenes, he will leave for Boston, where he ex- pects to meet the President. The work of preparing the correspondence in the supplemental article was finished this evening, and Mr. Fish says it may be published on Monday morn- ing. It will contain nothing new, and not near as much, in point of fact, as has already been printed in these despatches. The State Department is worried over what it terms the premature publication of State secrets, but which are understood in official circles to be an expose of what the State Department considers an unfortunate revelation for their management of diplomatic matters with Great Britain, Bancroft Davis, our agent at Geneva, was to-day congratulated on the success aiready achieved in his management of the affairs of the United States before the arbitrators. Nevertheless, the com- mendation is privately understood to be only a blind, touse the language of the State Department, to make it appear that we have achieved a great diplomatic triumph.

Fifteen Passengers Killed and Sixty-five Fearfully Scalded. MORE DYING. Harrowing Details of the Disaster and List of Passengers. BELLEVILLE, Ont., June 22, 1872. The night express went down past this place at twenty minutes past twelve this morning full of passengers, among the number many being minis- ters of the English Church en route homeward from the Synod at Toronto, About eleven miles below the Belleville station the engine jumped the track, carrying death and fearful torture to the Scores of passengers in the forward cars. The bag- gage car remained on the track and tele- scoped the smoking car and the second class passenger car, leaving them on top of the engine exposed to the escaping steam from the boiler. Here the poor creatures were hepelessly penned for some time, breathing the vapors of death and suffering all the agony of immersion into a boiling cauldron of superheated water. Mr. R. M. Roddy, an eye witness, says:—Immedi- ately after the accident he went to the second class car. It and the smoking car were telescoped and on the locomotive, the steam from which, issuing from the cars, was so dense that he could see nothing. One after another of the scalded victims .were crawling from the openings. Crowbars were immediately put into requisition by the passengers from the first class cars, all of whom escaped in- jury, and openings were made. Many were found entangled, and were extricated with the utmost difficulty, timbers having to be broken. FIVE PERSONS WERE FOUND DEAD and were carried to the road side, where the wounded lay for nearly three hours in the most fearful agony. Dr. Burdett, of Belleville, arrived at this time and had them removed to the Pullman car. On their arrival here everything was promptly done to allay their sufferings. The medical men of the town were summoned, mattresses procured and the large freight shed turned into a temporary hospital, where the patients received every possible attention. The medical men and their assistants are unremitting in their attentions, while the ministers of the Gospel vie with each other in their zeal in the administration of their sacred office. The sight was one that baMed description. THE TERRIBLE CRIES OF THE SUFFERERS rent the ears of the lookers on, who made every possible effort to grant their requests for water and food, and their condition under the influence of their terrible injuries ‘was fearful to witness, while prayers and cries of premonition of ap- proaching dissolution were nere and there heard. After the injured arrived here some of them passed away—a happy relief being afforded from their dreadful agonies. Those who were the least in- jured walked about swathed in bandages, and con- versed freely about the occurrence of the mght. The express end baggage car was forced past the broken engine without injuring the express mes- senger or baggage man; but the smoking car telescoped the second class car; the latter going forward knocked off the safety valve of the boiler and remained ON TOP OF THE ENGINE, allowing the steam to fill the second class car, which was crowded with passengers, many of them lumbermen, en route for Quebec. The two first class cars and the Pullman car were com- paratively uninjured, and the passengers were transshipped and went east this forenoon. Sixty-five men and women were fearfully scalded and otherwise injured, six of whom died on the spot, and the bodies were brought to this place. Four more have died, and others are dying every hour. Not more than ONE-THIRD OF THE INJURED WILL LIVE. John Hibbert, the engineer, was instantly killed, and the fireman badly injured; one of his legs will have to be amputated. H. Neilson, the conductor, and other train hands escaped uninjured. The wounded and dying are lying stretc\ed on mat- tresses on the floor_of the freight shed, so much dis- figured as to be unrecognizable.

Faneuil Hall Crowded with Massachusetts Lead- ing Politicians—Speeches by Judge Hoar, General Woodford, Governor Howe, Governor Geary, General Butler and Senator Henry Wilson. Boston, June 22, 187: The first ratification meeting under the auspices of the Grant Central Campaign Club took place in Faneuil Bail ihis evening. The Hon. Alexander A. Rice presided, and Governors Geary, of Pennsylvania, and Harvey, of Kans: Judge Hoar, Generals Butler and Woodford occ pied seats on the rostrum. Mr. Rice, in opening the meeting, paid high compliments to President Grant and Senator Wilson, and claimed that had not Grant been nominated at Philadelphia another party would have nominated and elected him. The more his record had been investfgated the more brilliantly it shone, amd his companion on the ticket was a worthy example of American statesmanship, starting in the world without the aid of wealth or ordinary advantage for culture. Judge Haays was the first person introduced, and lauded the candidates for their well-earned dis- tinction in the lines of war and politics. In his allusion to Senator Sumner the audience were disposed to hiss, but were checked by the speaker, before his sentence was complete. His expression was only one of regret at the course hus friend had taken, and the hope that he would soon realize his false position. His speech of invec- tive had fallen as a dead letter upon the public ear, as, said the leader of a democratic newspaper, the people of Massachusetts knew President Grant and all attacks upon him would be repelled in their minds as they read them. He gave his testimony that while in the Cabinet no personal con- sideration ever weighed in the express sentiments of the President when the public good was at stake. His suggestions were directly to the point upon all occasions, and when the Speaker read Mr. Sumner's speech he could not heip think- ing that he was talking about some other persons. On qnestions of civil rights and the public credit President Grant had been true to his country’s honor, His conciliatory policy toward the Indian tribes; his wise selection of Incumbents of important govermental positions, in spite of opposing influences were set. forth in eloquent terms, and Mr. Hoar asserted that the greatest ob- struction General Grant has met with in his ad- mintstration was his inheritance from the Johnson dynasty. Mr. Greely was the first instance in Mr, Hoar’s recollection of a candidate in search of a party. \ General WooprorD, of New York, in a stirring speech, predicted that when Greeley was whipped there would be no more democracy. He defended frant’s appointments, and instanced — his course in the Louisiana election, where Judge Dent, his brother-in-law, was a candidate as proof that the relationship’ did not stand be- tween him and hia party or country. His aid to Congress in reducing taxation and the national debt, and his general course in an oMce which he did not seek, Was his best recommendation for a second term. yovernor Harvey — of the party relations, and predicted that Kansas would be carried by 20,000 majority for the republican ticket. Governor Geary spoke the greetings of the re- mblicans of Pennsylvania to that of others in jusetts, and joined hands with them in completing the great mission of the party, pledging Pennsylvania for 30,000 majority. In response to loud and prolonged cheers, General Butler stepped forward and was cheered as'the next ¥ nor. He disclaimed any other business for ning than the election of president and vice presdient, asa continuation of the campaign begun on the 19th of April, The oid democratic party that stood by the laboring men, he said, was done gone and dead. After a short review ‘of its decline the General proceeded to discuss the only obstruction in the way of the Greely party, which depended on the Baltimore nomination, the unwilling support of the Northern democrats and the men who had been given the ballot box, which they had lost by the cartridge x, but Greeley would never be nominated at Ba Angel Gabriel could not be elected on ket. ‘The republican party, in spite | was united, and its ranks were | unbroken; supported’ by the rebel ele- ment Greeley would stand no chance inthe Sonthern States, for the honest democrats there had had enough of such leadership and are not prepared to support a republican such as Cin- nati presented, General Butier had a particular affection for the men who represented Ma! chusetts at Cincinnatl, for they were opposed to him last fall. He (Butler's) was going to split the party. Those gentlemen had now become too vi tuous to stay in it. Mr. Sumner’s speech so disgusted | the people of the country that they insisted on nominating his colleage for Vice President, as a rebuke to him. If the republican party could not beat a party that had experienced two bolts, or a bolt in the second degree, it de- | served to ‘die, for, in this belief, the victory was | easy to be gained. He explained why he | did’ not go to Philadeiphia, by saying that the controversy about the Enforcement act compelled his remaining in Washington to secure a fair election for Whoever was nominated. ‘The civil service reform, in General Butler's opinion, was hum- png. It meant that men who were ‘at school while their brothers were fighting were to pass ex- amination in mathematics for permanent positions, while the President was to gerve but one term. He believed in turning the offices inside out every four years. Did you ever know, he asked, a new bank | cashier to be a pefaulter? No: they are the old ones who have gained the confi- dence of their companies who steal. The oflices better conducted by frequent changes. The General claimed to be an old-tashioned demo- crat, and was by no means in favor of an aristoc- racy of office-holders. He called upon the laboring men to answer if they ever got their rights from any other than Grant's administration. A party that had worked itselfup honestly from a small beginning in favor of equal rights to laborers as well as their fellows, was not to be killed by a combination of the weak elements of a defunct party with a few disgruntied republicans. He knew of old muskets and uniforms that would be taken down and go on again in defence of the party of equality and progress, and the country would rise in her might ander the continued rule of the til its work was done, He closed by calling cheers for the republican party, which was lustily give! Henry Wilson was brought into the hall at alate hour by a committee specially delegated to seek him and invite him. Three cheers were given for | the Vice Presidential candidate, and he hap- pily responded, Urging republicans to stand firm to their grand — ol¢ standard. The proposed Baltimore Convention he said meant going to the democrats after all, and nothing else. Therefore it was the democratic party that was the antagonist after all.

Hungry City Men Running Wild Among Country Edibles. operate) A Jolly Day with the Philosopher, ‘The every-Saturday excursion of Mr. Greeley to the forest of Chappaqua was rendered more than usually interesting yesterday. His daughter, Ida, revisited the scenes of her childhood on the occa- sion, for the first time since her return from Europe, and a number of gentlemen prominent in the present canvass accompanied him to obtain a view, for their own satisfaction, of that wonderful woodchopping that promises to shape the ends of the canvass, “rough-hew them how we will.” Ethan Allen, chairman of the National Executive Commit- tee; James M, Scovel, of the New Jersey Executive Committee ; John Mullaly,of the Metropolitan Record; Ralph Meeker, a son of the editor of the Greeley (Gol.)

At the Chappaqua station they were met by Mr. J. R. Stuart and Mrs. Stuart, James M. Nelson, an ex-Assemblyman of Rockland county, who was a student under Henry Clay, and who distinguished himself by his strong opposition, although a demo- crat, tothe Tweed charter; Professor Jackson, of the Military Institute at Tarrytown, and his son; Mr. Silver, one of the oficers of the Tarrytown Greeley Club, and by Mr. Louis A. Coates, one of the Greeley speakers of the canvass.

Miss Ida Gree- ley is a young lady of about eighteen, of medium height, handsome, with the soft dark eye, shapely features and fine complexion of her father. A mass of dark brown hair is done up in becoming folds about herhead. Her manners are affable and cor- dial, her conversation ready and sprightly, and from the success with which, assisted by Mrs. Stuart, she presided at THE FIRST STATE DINNER of the coming administration under the evergreen shades on the farm yesterday it was made eVid that her domestic accomplishments are thorough.

"he said, “he didn’t believe he could eat any more."" “You might,” said the Philosopher, dryly, “it you'd stand up.’’ HOW GENIUS BREAKS OUT. The conversation turned upon the subject of whiskey drinking among distinguished men. “T think,” said Allen, “that genius has to break out. In some men it breaks out in whiskey drink- ing, in others in woodchopping——" “And in others,” said the philosopher, “in laying on the ground all day and looking on.” GRANT ON BALTIMORE. “T see, Mr. Greeley,” said Nelson, “that the HERALD interviewed Grant the other day, and it seems he does wish you to be nominated at Balti- replied Allen, “he said he thought Mr. would be nominated."* Nelson persisted, however. “No, Grant said to the HERALD correspondent that he wished Greeley. would be nominated at Baltimore, and then he'd know what he was fighting.” “Then in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress,” said Ethan Allen, “he'lt have his wish, and won't Know what he's fighting either until he’s licked.” At half-past four P.M. the\arty separated, Mr. ireeley, his daughter and f is returning well pence to the city and the rest going to their homes in Westchester, THE WAR IN MEXICO.

ANOTHER FEARFUL DISAS- i ; A Terrific Collision between Two Traine Going at Full Speed—Three Officora Killed and about Twenty Passengers Wounded. PrrrspurG, Pa,, June 22, 1872. At noon to-day a terrible accident occurred om the Pittsburg, Washington and Baltimore Railroad, about three-quarters of a mile this side of Con-: nelisville. A freight train going east was running at full speed in order to reach the switch at Connellsville before the approach of the mail. At the point mentioned, at a sharp curve om the road, both trains came together so suddenly that the engineers of the locomotives could hardly realize the fearful situation they were in, not had they time to make much effort to check the ed of their engines, which came together with a fear- ful crash, that could be heard a long distance off. ‘The trains came together, and in an instant the two locomotives were a perfect mass of twisted and’ broken iron, while the escaping steam hissing fromm the boilers lent.additional terror to the scene. The entire freight train was wrecked, fragmenta of it being strewn on each side of the track, while the passenger train escaped with less injury. Om the former Henry Saxton and the conductor, Robert. Lockhart, were killed, and the mail agent, Black- burn, was injured to the extent that he cannot live over the night, Eight passengers were seriously injured.

The collision of the engines, going at the speed both were travelling, ia sald to have shook the earth in the neighborhood like an earthquake, and not one the event of it, believes he will be elected, She does not advocate woman suffrage, but if she could vote would vote for Mr. Greeley, which she th CT the woman suffragists as a party would not be likely to do. ‘THE PERILS OF THE CAMPAIG Ethan Allen, Scovel, Mullaly and the rest of the gentlemen ranged themselves about the woods where Mr. Greeley had laid out his, trimming pro- gramme, and Allen and Mullaly, at least, having never seen the Philosopher at this exercise, awaited his movements with some apprenension, and watched them with a feeling akin to terror. They were frightened at his danger. When the reckless Sage hopped boldly on a limb fifteen feet from the ground, with his axe in hand, and the knotty limb bent under his weight, Allen turned pale with horror. A PROTEST FROM THE PARTY. “This won't do, Scovel,” said Allen; “see what a slip might do! I at limb gave way, or those smooth-soled shoes slipped, or that axe should re- bound and cut his leg, and he should double up over the limb and fall that distance to the ground”’—and his voice became husky with the ter- ror of the situation, ScovEL—Now, you be easy. He's done this for fifteen years, and he’s as safe there as you are on the stump, N—But that’s no surety at all. The pitch go to the well, you know, bd number of times and be broken at last, One faise biow ora slip might be the death of the liberal party. The National Com- mittee must protest against this, We must per- suade him to vent his surplus energies hereafter ‘on subsoil ploughing or something of that sort. The Philosopher meantime, unconscious of the animated discussion in his interest going on be- low, continued calmly trimming his trees, He stopped for a moment in his work to point to @ tall rough bark trée growing near. to be a farmer, e that is 1? Can Allen, with ready intelligence, replied that he didn’t know, Young Meeker said it was a cucum- ber. Nelson agreed with Mee Mullaly thought it was arutabaga. Nobody gue right; and the Philosopher said that it was a yellow ‘poplar, a very uncommon sort of tree for this part of the country. NELSON—Well, that's what's called a cucumber out West. Meeker corroborated this statement. The PutLosorueR—But that is not a cucumber, ALLEN (confidently) —No, no, I know a cucumber when I see it. [haven't farmed for nothing. Scover—Well, if it is a cucumber [ wouldn't want more than one slice of it for breakfast. MULLALY (solemnly) —If it is not acucumber, why cucumbereth it the ground ? The PHILOsoPHER—Well, Alién, here's another tree Vil try you on (pointing to a thin, gummy looking sapling). ALLEN—Ah! this is @ Vermont tree that I onght to be familiar with. I would call that a hemlock tree. The PuILosopHER—Nonsense. That is pepper- idge, one of the gum family. It grows altogether in the West Indies. ALLEN (thoughtfully) —How did it get here, then? The Parvosorier (turning abruptly to his work again)—Well; that I can't say. THE FARMER STUMPED. Great jubilation ensued on the part of Allen on thus “stumping” the exponent of agricultural wis- dom, and he turned with a triumphant air to Mul- laly—“‘I guess that fetched him. anything about farming.” KEEN APPETITES. The visitors had already become hungry. Allen looked at his watch continually in hopes that he could hurry old Time along to two o'clock by that ins. Scovel claimed that so long a delay before | time was a casus belli, Muilaly being offered auce to try his hand at chopping sai he pre- ferred steaks to chops. Everybody had on a satis- factory appetite except the Philosopher, who per- sisted in trimming his trees up to the hour of two, of the awful moaning in arty below, AN ENWILLING SET. It was not until after two that the Philosopher came down from his perch unharmed.
