link between the former were divi

Although the legislation of this week
nominaly extends only to the union
as it exists in Ireland, ytt it is thor
oughly understood that the work of
reformation will neve? cease until
the English Establishment also ceas
es as a State Church. The conse
quenses of course are rnomenteous,
both to tho nation collective and to
individuals. The body of officiating
clergy will be purified, for every
man will have to stand upon his own
merits. And, what is best of all, the
Bishops, while retaining their eccle
siastical rank, will be swept from the
midst of Lords, where they never
have any business.
—We notice in the City Council
prceedings of Macomb, 111., the fol
lowing intesestiiig prargraph ;
“ A memorial was presented from
Allan llill (colored person), request •
ing hit l.isschool tax paid tin-pas
two y» ars, amounting to 88 20 l».
refunded, on the ground that lie wa
not allowed to send hi- children t
the public schools. Prayer ot peii
tioner granted.”
This was an act of obvious justice,
and suggestive of a gross ou' rag
perpetrated in the name of education
This denying children edm-at iona
privileges on account rs color is in
fatuous, and we trust that it will mil
he long before Illinois will wij.e oui
this foul stain upon her otoerwis,
fair name.
