SENSIBLE CoNcLUsloN-Ot Others might Fozlo,o
it Proftd6ly.-Mr. Conwcll, one of the editors
of the Ohio Eagle, published at. Lancaster, has
thrown up his position of chief clerk to Col.
Medill, the Comptroller of the Treasury at
Washington, and returned to the tripod. He
gives, as his reason for so doing, what might be
probably used by many other young men of
talents in Washington, who are living lives of
dTudgery in the several departments, and as
little known to the world, whatever their merits
ndeapacities, as the drum of ogmill Young
men-who look upon clerkship at Washing

says:
We return with feelings Of pleasure to the
chair editorial, after an absence of one year.
A year in'the public service, at Washington,
has had the effect of convincing us that the pri-
yatc station is the post of honor, pleasure and
profit; and We quit public Office gladly, yolun-
tarliy, and without single regret at the loss Of
its honoTs or emoluments.
1t seems strange that there should be such a
fascination in those positions at Washington for
the yong men of. our. country! When oh taiped

the same weary, never changing round until
death sets him free. No matter how energetic
the weary routine of official life lays crushingly
upon his energies and aspirations.
It is enough to say that such life did not
suit US, and that We could not, while young and
IN health, sell out our future for an annuity of
1900 per year, at the will of changing politi-
cal dynasties.

Mr. Editor "A communication in the Spv of

Mr.. Piper had said that he should use all hon.

means as Piper had to obtain a nomination; and,
in the opinion of more than one honorable Judge,
the means he has resorted to are a sufficient dis
qualification for the Office.
Having concluded to retire, l deemed it no
more than my duty to tell the people who
thought was qualified to succeed me, and rec
commended him who has been my assistant most
Of the time since 1871, knowing that he pos
sessed all the requisite qualifications in an emf
nent degree, and believing that his manners were
such as would suit all classes of people who had
business to transact in the Office. He happens to
be cousin OF mine, mot nephew. hope this
Is no disqualification. He has labored faithfully
for me, and for a very small compensation. With
my salary could afford to pay but little. By
working early and late, for me and others, he has
with his hands and his business been enabled to
save few thousands, l believe, besides doing
much for some of his needy relations. He is not
rich
One of the Judges OF our Supreme Court lately
remarked that the probate business was done bet
ter in this county than in the other counties of
the Commonwealth. If this be so, the credi' is
due to George NJ. Prentiss quite as much as to
me. Such lawyers as Judge Allen and Mr.. Ba'
con have been in the habit of sending their eli.
ents to him to get such business done, as they
knew he did it better than any member of the
profession would do it. Other lawyers have been
picqued that he has done business that they can
not, or will not qualify themselves to do, and
hence the opposition TO him. But this is no fault
OF his or of mine. People will employ those who
do their business best, and any Register or Judge
who shall send people to the lawyers when there
is no need of it, will find his place an unsupport-
able one

This desplcable attempt to stir up the sediment
will not avail. The people understand it too

You may think. Mr. Editor, that l am saying
more than is necessary. But know the people
Of Worcester county, and they know me. Most
of them have long known me They know, too,
that l shall "tell them no lies :" and, without
being egonstical, may say. that my opinion will
have some weight with them in a matter of this
importance. think it would be doing great
wrong to infict this Piper upon the Judge and
upon them. CHAs. G. PRENTIss.

Among the speakers at the Democratic meeting
at Faneuil Hail. in Boston, on Thursday evening
last, to ratify the nomination of John 7. Heard
for Congress, against Mr. Burlingame, was Ex-
Gov Gardner, who seized that occasion to vent
his spleen at his late supporters,for giving him so
unceremonious rejection at the polls, last year.
The Ex'Governor's speech was remarkable Gu.
riosity, 10 its way, as used to be all his sayings
and doings, when he protested to be in line with
the party Of freedom, and advocated, in or
der to catch anti-slavery votes for re election,
the same doctrine which he now denounces as
,sectionalism" and "fansticism." His celebra-
ted letter to the Governor of Alabama, which was
so often quoted to prove its authors zeal in the
anti.slayery cause, is prominent instance Of His
late Excellency's special devotion to the cause
he now 80 contemporary derides in his pres
emit affiliations with the Buchanan Democracy.
This modern Munchausen, says he shall sup.
port John 7. Heard, against Mr.. Burliagame,
''because the former is a national man and the
latter is a sectionalist," while this same Henry
j. Gardner supported Mr.. Burlingame on tie
same platform on which the latter now stands, at
both his former trials, four years and two years
ago, when Mr.. BIS opponent was VIM. Appleton,
the latter standing upon what was claimed as the
national Wing" platform. Gov. Gardner could
support MIR. Burlingame, the anti-slavery "sec-
tionalst" and 'sbolitionist," as he is termed, in
1854 and 1856, as against the national Whig,"
VIM. Appleton, but ia 1858, when the choice is
between that regular Buchanan Democrat. John
T. Heard, and Arson Burngame, the latter &C.

adopted at a Republican meeting, not more

found in Gov. Gardner's own speeches and letters

the Ex-Governor says, in his Munchsusen style !:

tiers follow the triumph Of such a sentiment as
the Republican party endorses. For this he

pudlate Burlingame as sectionalist"
Two or three years since, the idea of seeing
Gov. Gardner spout from Democratic rostrum,
side by side with Benz F. Hallett and Isaac H.
Wright, for Democratic nominees, would have
seemed absurd. But it has so happened. What

The NEW TESTAMENT, translated fran the Orig

of the Sacred Books, and Improved Divisions
Of Chapters and Verses. IBy Leicester Ambrose
Sawyer. Boston John P Jewett & Co.
1913.
This, in the language of the translator, is not
work of compromises. or of conjectural inter.
pretations of the sacred Scriptures, neither is it
paraphrase. but a strict literary renderinq. It
neither adds nor takes away ; but aims 10 ex.
press the original with the utmost clearness and
force, and with the utmost precision. 1t adopts,
however, except in the prayers, a thoroughly
modern style, and makes freely whatever changes
are necessary for this purpose
Some of the leading objects of this translation
are
To avoid all needless indelicacy in the transla.
ton to translate chiefly into the recent and i'm
proved style Of the language in preference to the
antique to interpOlate little as possible and
leave what is implied in the original to be i'm
piled in the translation to transfer the names of
weights, measures, coin, &c, with expressions Of
their value in brackets, and to include all inter-
Poiatlons IN brackets; to arrange the Sacred
Books according to their characters and dates,
and not arbitrarily or according to their lengths
to divide the Sacred Books into chapters and
verses according to their natural divisions, and
nut u alio" chapters TO ofeak up closely connect
ed discourses, or verses to separate sentences.
These objects seem to have been successfully
carried out, and the result is, such an improved
version Of the Scriptures as will be most valua.
Bile acquisition in every family OF the entire
fairness Of the translator, as to anything sectari
an, and Of his eminent qualifications for the
work, the public may feel assured from the fact
that distinguished clergymen in the leading de
nominations have recommended him in the most
cordial manner. Among them may be named

TINES OFFICE, HARTFORD, Oct. 29.-We
have letter from Lieut.. Tyler, of the U. S.
Oregon army, dated at q" Cnur dAlue Mis-
sion, Washington Territory, Sept 10TH"
which is fifteen days later than any other ac-
count. The Spokan and Paluse Indians have
been defeated after two days fighting. The
Spokan chief was held by the U. $. forces.
and nine hundred horses had been taken by
the Peluse Tribe. All of the plumber which
the Indians took from Col. Steptoe's com
mand had been recovered. Col. Steptoes
pistol was found upon an Indian shot in his
saddle. The army did not lose man. The
Indians were begging for peace and comply
ing with all the demands of the United States
officers. Lieut.. Tyler considers the war in
that quarter ended. His letter was expressed
over the plains by Indian runners. 1t was
directed to his father in Hartford, and is prob
ably the only letter by the last steamer from
the seat of the Oregon war.

THE GoULDY TRAoEDY.-The New York pa
pers state that there was no change in the condi-
tion Of the wounded parties Thursday. Mr..
Gouldy partially recovered consciousness in the
morning, asked what allied him, and requested to
be removed to another bed. A number Of physi
clans have examined him. and consider his case
hopeless. Mrs. Gouldy's condition is yet ex-
tremely critical as is the boy Nathans. The re-
port that one Of the servants had died was incor.
rect. Both are alive, and hopes are entertained
Of their recovery. The body Of Francis, the MUIR
derer, was inferred in Greenwood cemetery yes
terday, without funeral ceremonies. The Evening
Post says young Gouldy is reported to have been
"constitutionally vicious, and under the influence
Of the lower propensities. His head, witness

the idotic type Of cranial development. Moral
and religious impressions we're particularly evan
