I will not trespass upon your space by giving the entire ad dress, which was received with marked attention ; but the concluding portions must suffice : "Masonry is aided by the light of the Christian faith, and has succeeded in lifting itself above the clouds of mystery which so long enveloped its teachings the precepts and virtues inculcated are valuable to man, and to society; they arc important in that they carry with them the weight of Divine authority. Truth is an attribute of Deity, arid at tha foundation of every virtue, it is our theme of contemplation, and by its dic tates we strive to regulate our conduct. The principles of Masonry are taught iu the Holy Bible : they admonish u to walk uprightly before God and man, act ing upon the square of virtue, and ever keeping in mind that we arc traveling on the Level of Time, to that country from whence there is no return. And when we have finished our work in this earthly lodge, and enter the portals of the Grand Lodge above that lodge not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, where the Supreme architects of the universe preside, where the mys teries of life shall be revealed iu the glo ries of that bright sphere there, the thoughts, words and deeds, so mysteri ous to the comprehension of our fellow man. will be revealed, and the All Seeing Eye, which dumbercth not, will look upon and reward us according to the deeds done in the body."

A great many hard things have "been said about lawyers, and it has become proverbial in tho language of more than one, country that '-'the greater lawyer, the worse Christian.'1 In the recent de cision of the case in reference to the use of the Bible in the school, the majority of the Judges of the 'Superior Court in Cincinnati have thown themselves, how ever, Ito be very good Christians, one go ing so far as to declare in an obiter dic rttrtharhe believed in "the plenary in spiration ofUhe,lIoiy Scriptures a posi tion which orthodox clergymen hesitate now-a-days to aisur.e. -Some lime iu November last the Board of-Education of Cincinnati, by a vote of twenty -two to fifteen, passed two rcsolu tions, one of which enacted anew rule prohibiting all religious instruction, and the second, by repealing an old rule, abolished the custom of the reading of the Bible,, with appropriate singing, as an opening exercise in the public schools. From ' tlese rulings an app-al to the courts was had, and a temporary injunc tion was obtained on the formal ground that the temporal rights of tho complain ant, a tax payer, werr impaired by the resolutions, from the fact" that the exclu sion of the Bible from t he schools would involve, the purchase of new book to replace thenr, vrhicli. wad a wanton and need! expanse. .This te-1 of,J..D. Miner el tih vs. The Board rf Education, came up for a hearing on Feb. 10, .when a majority of the Court decided that the injunction should be made perpetual SiuC'j it i- not unlikely that similar cases may be brought in this. State." the opin ion of the Courts although ones of .infe rior jurisdiction, are of present interest The judgment is ba-ei upon the as-sumptioa.that- the School Board tran.s ceuded its authority and violated the Ccftstitmion ' of the State of Ohio. Some of the varied and frequently con- flietkig provisions of tlu: Constitutions of the several States upon tho subject of religious liberty have t recently . been given in these columns.' The Con stitution of Ohio ., has provisoiis which may pcrhap.f Lc ' focn l in no other State .Constitution. After affording ample protection to those who believe in Almighty God, and to those who do not, in securing freedom of conscience to all, the Bill of Rights runs: "Re ligion, morality -and knowledge, how ever; being" essential to good government, it shall be the duty of the General As sembly to pass suitable laws to protect every denomination in the pea cable en joyment of its own inoda of worship, arid to encourage schools and the means of education." Under this Constitu ticn the common schools of Cincinnati came into 'operation, and under this clause, it s ctaimcdj the abolition of the use of the Bible -ij ..prohibited. It was hold that the resorptions' worked a prac tical prohibition of, religious instruction, which j-of right, may not be done; that the Constitution intended to secure to the State the political value of religion, morality, and knowledge, and conse quently might use tho Bible as a sort of moral policeman; and that, whatever may hare intended by rcngion, morality, aiid knowledge of the. Consti tution, the conscience muct be at times subordinate to the public good, as other natural rights are surrendered to the same end, on the principle that the safety of tiie people in the supreme law. It was insisted that the State, which "is necessary 'to society, and originates in God," requires the bonds and sanction 'of religious teaching; that the State was at liberty to use sect and schools asin:: strumentalities to secure its ends, which it did by these constitutional provisions, Land that the argument' n'g.unt the use oi the Bible, it iojncally followed, would prohibit instruction in science, art; or collective wisdom, whatever form it miht assume. Anything it was said, which tends to put the Bible a disrespect, undermines the moral support of the laws, and corrupts community." . Mr. Justice Storer went so far a? unequivo cally to assert that the Christian religion was directly recognized by tha Constitu tion, a position which he claimed to be confirmed by the fact that the family Bible was exempted by the Legislature from execution; that the Bible was fur nished at the expense of the State to all prUons -and reformatory institutions ; , to the halls cf legislation and the courts of justice, and that it was legally rerogniz?d as the exponent of morality and religion. He supports his position further by the familiar argument that on no other ground can blasphemy be made criminal, and he denied that the reading of the Bible was an act of wosrhip. - The dionting opir.ion of Judge Tuft,' a Liberal Unitarian, is based oa the gene ral ground that a great many tax-payers are not believers in the Bible: that i v.at tit.'tief -lit tun a"eei;i i-vttf' .intii.-v vrr. : . i- l .....". ! L11C-&3 IUUCil UlC UMiil uuu an is t he Koran of Mahonroiethn- u-iu; and that ethers, from consicntious scruples, are precluded from attending school where the Bible is read. 'Tlu great diversity of religion faith, ho main tained, required that instruction in schools supported by the taxation of all citizens should be confined to secular knowledge, and to moral a.nd intellectual culture, in order to carry into effect the spirit of the Constitution. 'JTiis deter mination would no more prohibit the use of extracts from the Bible, than it would the use of ancient classic authors. The religion contemplated by the Bill of Rights he believes to mean "religion in the broad sen.- af reverence an 1 love toward God, and charity toward men." He argues that the present use of the Bible in the schools is both an act of worship and a lesion in religious instruc tion : that it is looked upon by the Cath olics as a sectarian book ; and that, as a consequence, tho Catholics, whose child ren entitled to the use of the common schools are about two-fifths of the whole number attending school, are practically pnnished for their conscientious scruples $2K),000 every jear, in being deprived of the use of their proportion of the school fund. To hold differently he coiibidcrs would be to violate the sacred rights of conscience and the fundamental Law of the land. The injunction was made perpetual by a vote of two Judges to three. Mean while, the case will go to the Supreme Court of Ohio, and, doubtless, to the Supreme Court of the United States. The question is a most unfortunate one for the peace of oeiety, and it becomes good citizens, of whatever race, condition, or creed, to accept the advice of Judge Hagans, and "from a thoughtful survey of our individual weakness and imper fection, to learn to cultivate a spirit of mutual forbearance and charity, so that we mat' the better laber for the eleva tion or our race, and to spread truth and civilization in the earth."

Terrible Kiiilrouil Aeeldent. Oxkor:, Mis., Feb. 2f. A C ii-ful incident occurred'about lour o'elock ye-terday p. in., to the regular morning train on the Mississippi Central Railroad. ' : - O The train leaviue Humboldt on time, rapidly approached" Buckner's Trestle, which is forty feet -high, and built- owr a ravine: The engine crosso:d safely,-but the remainder of the train ran off the track and crushed through, U-he trestle, completely wrecking the baggage, mail, and express, and three passenger cars. The cause of the accident is believed to be, the unsound condition of the trestle timber, which permitted the rail to slide out of place, and thus switch off the cars. The first and second passenger cars were shattered to pieces. The remaining pas senger car kept its place on the track, while its forw ard end rested on the wreck of the second "car, at an inclination of fifty degrees. Two ladies, four children, fifteen white and four - colored persons, are known to be killed, and it is feared some others. One man has his leg badly Lroken, another's knee is crushed, Many are cut aud bruised, and three or four are suffering .evwely from, internal injury. The special train from Ltuisville was only half an hour behind the wrecked train, whh a large party of northern and western railroad men, with their ladies, and a few paseigcr.. Mem i'ii is, Feb. 2G. The Leader's Oxford dispatch says that i t i -1 .evf.nt ecu persons were knicu ly a rail road f ccidont, among whom was Colonel Spars of Brandon, Miss., road master, two ladies and two children, names un known. The remainder, with a "few exception"', were emigrants, en route loi Tex an. Samuel Iatc, Pre.-idcnt of tin for road, was slightly wounded. Mr. Mc Donald's lwy was horribly mangled. The train, with the exception of the engino, is a camplete wreck.

' ' Hie Senate appears to be as closely divided on the Mistdss-ippi bill as it was the condition attached to the Virginia bill, aa is shown by incidental votes from day today while the debate is in progress. Thus, the bill is taken up ('21 to 21) .by the casting vote of the Vice-President; and h-eing Liken up, motions to adjourn or to go into executive session are decided by ono or two .piajoritj. It will be re membered that the . conditions of tho. Virginia bill wore attached by the close votes Of 31 no 2$ ;ind 3D to 29, on flic 21 d;iy of January, since when none of the Senators appear to have chanced their views on the Question, which is now re newed in identical .shape in the Missis sipr.i bill.
