LTHE ntDEPENDENT. IIILLSBORO : : THURSDAY. Cobrcskhtdekts to the Indefejjdest can sign any fictitious name they plea? kt jXeir letters so that it is not the name any jierson, rovided they will at the same time send their real name to the editor. We require the names if all correspondents not necessarily for publication but as a sign of good faith. Astoria Vs. Portland at a Ship ping Port. The Bulletin and the Astoria n have locked hort9 about the relative mer its and demerits of their respective towns for the shipment of foreign cargoes and unless wo greatly err the latter lifts flanked his opponent hd butted him off the bridge. The Asiorian "speaks by the book" be cause the Custom House records are at his elbow and vie do not think that his figures will lie, so we pre sent to our readers the following tabulated statement from that paper of the comparative costs of shipping a load of grain partly from Astoria and Poitland, and of a load shipped entirely from Astoria: Expense of loading City Camp nt 1'ortlaiul nntl Astoria, with 52. 828 bushels wheat !?5,842 55 Expense of loading Middlesex whol ly at Astoria, with G(,GC3 bush els of vhMt. . $5,002 o'J Difference in favor of Astoria .$ru it. Difference fuvor of Astoria ou earyo. 4G0 80 Saying toOgn. shipping thro'A.sH$700 7J In these figures our readers? will bear in mind that the Astoria char ter is made on the same basis as the Portland charter, whereas in fact the difference in charter is always in favor of Astoria. Now we don t have any sublime faith in Jo Teal and his transporta tion company. Wo don't believe that Mr. Teal would even sacrifice his wife'e relations for the benefit of the people of this State, bill we havo lonf had the conviction that Port land's struggles to retain the suprem acy as the shipping port of this State was a struggle against fate; that the hundreds of thousands spent in dredging out the constantly shifting and drifting sand bars in the Wil- i i t. lameie ana voiumoia was u mucu money thrown away; and that the establishment of a custom-house at Portland was a useless and loolish -r.rknt1iture of monev. It does seem strange that the business men of Portland will struggle against the inevitable, when thev must know that it is only a question of time. As the business of the Columbia increas es so sure will the pressure increase to ship from the point where it will rr. th.fi least and where larcre shins can always approach, take on their cargoes and sail every day in the year. Astoria is such a port and Portland is not, and that settles the question beyond cavil and forever. River Improvement. The Oregonian learns from Mr. NeSmith that Congress appropriated the following moneys for the im provements o! Oregon rivers: For the improvement of the lower "Willatuett and Columbia rivers, from Portland, Oregon, to t! e sea, twenty thousand dollars. For the improvement of the upper Willamette river, Oregon, twenty five thousand dollars. For the improvement of the upper Columbia rirer, thirty-live thousand dollars. The $20,000 appropriated for the improvement of the lower "Willam ette and Columbia rivers is just so much lost to the State. So with the $90,000 appropriated for the Port land Custom House. Such will continue to be the disposition of ap propriations for this State as long as we elect men to Congress whose first thought is for Portland and whose second thought for the State, and who make the interests of the State observe Port land . New Hampshire Klection. Full returns from the election in this State show a decisive Republican majority. New Hampshire elected the Democratic ticket two years ago and the Republicans feel quite ex ultant over the result. It is one oasis for Republican feet in the desert of Democratic victories last fall. . Hox. R. Srorr was in town last week. He went up to Yamhill couu- i ty and IbeiiCC to Portland. ; Religion in Sclioo.?. Mb. EniToit: Circumstances have interrupted for two weeks my brief efesaya on this subject. Ileligion is not only helpful to a school. It is essential to its per fection, just as it is to thai of the nation, society or the individual. A school in which religious influence is wanting, and just in proportion as it is wanting, comes short of what a school ought to be. It seems to be taken for granted by many, why, we cannot see, that the school is merely to teach certain branches that will be practically use ful, to spell and write, and cypher. But the child needs educating. His ichole soul is iu the, school-room, heart ' as well as head. It is utterly impossible, if the teacber could dry up all sympathy and tender interest in his pupils, to separate the one from the other. Knowledge that is useful for lile has its educating in fluence on the character. It cannot be used solely for what are called practical purposes. If it o ild be, it would bo wrolig to so limit the use of knowledge. The teacher can not put off the responsibility nor so sell himself as to relened from the responsibility of doing his pupils all the good he cau by imparting to them knowledge. Hut if it is for gaining knowledge that children go to school yet even in gaining this they must receive moral or immoral im- v pufses, so that upon the narrowest definition of the school, character is involved. But we do not admit that I going to school is solely acquire knowledge. The culture of the child is the aim of the teacher. His aim as determined by tho" want of the the child not the prescription of the public must define what that culture shall be. The teacher cannot forget that the highest personal iuterest of his pupils are in his hands. He is not only no teacher but no man if he can quietly dispose of his responsibility for everything except a little authmctic. &c, and say, "It is no concern of mine if the children Le, swear, or light." The teacher cannot even neg lect the physical, though this re ceives its special development oat side the school. But tho luad and heart, though ei:her may receive spe cial attention at homo, are even mora intimately united. What con stitutes the soul cannot be so separa ted as to bo educated in segments. It is the business of the teacher to understand how it is to bo synjet ri cally developed and look after the work in each individual child. He is not to do it all, but during the school-hours, and especially, so far as knowledge may bo used a an in- strumeut.he is to seek the fullest de velopment of each pupil, and this re quires tho pervasive influence of re- ! lirion. M. Unfair AMtiucutft Fohkst Gicovr. Mn. liDrfoa: There is a custom in vogue to some extent upon which I wish tuammadvert, viz: that of taxin the riroperty of absentees more than that of actual residents. Resident tax-payer, especially in our towns, sometimes think, because for ths time being it lessens their burdens that therefore it is ;v good thing financially, however it may be morally. But this is a fclh take. The prac tice in any town, couuty, or State where it prevails is to mako invest ments in taxable property there less desirable, and of course to lower" t he valuation of property. Any prac tice that has this tendency is ine.rie- dicnt. But apart from its inexpediency- it is dishonest. The law requires ev ery tax to be levied according to a fair as well as correct valuation. What right have wo because a property-holder is absent to gouge him out of an extra tax? Is not there a meanness, of which it is hard to believe that an' one, much les3 a whole community, would be guilty in taking advantage of a man's absence in order to inflict a wrong? Property ought to be assessed at a fair cash value, no more and no les, irrespective of persons whether high or low, present or absent. This L the only equitable m'thod. M. Subscribe for tho lvpErtNr-LNT. j Disturbance in Church. At Hillsbcro and the Grove there is a clas3 of young men and women who class themselves - among the best, who whisper and laugh in church just as they would at enter tainments or political raeeling!, not with any intentional disrespect to the preacher or the people who have coma there to worship, b it simply to please themselves. Same of them havo been taught better at home, and all of them know better. We would suggest to parents who have children to either go with tlnm to church and sit with them or keep them at home. And to young men and women, and everybody, that they would better stay away from church if they cannot go there and behave themselves. People who go to church to worship have some l ights which other people should be made to respect whether it pleases them or not ' .... Another- 8ii"restioii. lteli people would find that vounj people j would respect religious institutions i and sacied things more if our j churches would quit holding politi- : cal and theatrical performances and I 1 . . . ! other mere amusements m their; church buildillgs. j Somc people wants us to publish ! 41 1 1 the names of these heedless tlixturb- crs of meetings, but we think that ' should be made a last resort.

In President Marsh's article Inst week by an error in this ofTI'. c he was made to say "But I elid nut give emphatic ' expression," etc. The word "not" was a 'mistake and should not have o aj pcared' As ' it destrovs the effect of the whole ar- tide.

An item from a (Iroenville corres pondent appeared in last week's is sue which we regret, as it was evi elentlv nimed at Mr. 11. Walker, which he chums, misrepresents him very much.
