uIA(E.s AND BIBLES.

Our readers may remember that some months
ago We announced the departure OF the Rev. Nj.
ID. IIogc, 9 from Richmond for London, his
object being 10 beg a donation of Bibles for II
Conicdcracy which, by its sef-isolation from
Inc printing.prcsscs Of the North, suddenly
found It's supply Of Bibles limited. The Rev.
DIR. Hosc has arrived in London, ana has made
his APPEAL to the British and Foreign
Bible Society. We have now n letter from the
Rev. Dr. Iiogc to the Richmond Presbyterian
announcing that he has procured IL supply ol
Bibles, which viii be sent over immediately.
But this Doctor Of Saycholding Divinity has
had trouble Some impertincnt person told the
Directors Of the Society tina, the Blacks in the
Slave States, which the Reverend Doctor repre-
scented, arc not allowed TO read the sacred Scrip
lures, or. for that matter, anything else; aud
that il il an extremely lofty misdcmeanor to
teach slave TO read the Word of God at all.
Wherefore came botheratiOn to the Doctor,
when he appeared before The Committee Sun.

or the worst features of popular government
that vigorous fidelity to the public interest IN
pecunary matters must always be evinced at
the cost and peril Of the funcfionary VINO dare
be thus conscientious. The taxpayers are
remote, scattered, ignorant, careless the tax
consumers are on hand at nominating conyen-
tiops. keen rs hawks, and know all the ropes.
Saving is always inviduous, grudging, paltry;
while spendng is generous, lordly, magnificent.
IF a legislator wants to be popular and have
.troops of friends" lei him vote to raise every
body's salary and pass evcry-body's bills: if he
fears any grumbling on the part of his con-
stituents, let him vote against levyng the requi-
site taxes to meet the lavish expenditure thus
inaugurated, and he will be all right.
OF course, no one openly opposes the renomi-
nation of faithful functionary because of his
fidelity. None are so green as that. But his
locality is wrong, even if a candidate or so has
to be started OH purpose; or there is an irresiti-
bic demand for a "new ticket" or he has made
too many enemies; or some other dodge i tried
to subserve the purpose We have seen too
many faithful men shelved on some of these
pretenses. A capable despot like either Napo-
leon never parts with such iunctionary as Mr..
Robinson and so is never swindled IN his ac-
counts: democracies are less discerning and less
vigiant.
OF course a strong and sound man is always
put forward against such a faithful servant OF
the State when he is TO be run out, Tor none
other will answer. The wre-workers against
him are TOO shrewd not to know this. But the
change Is nevertheless an unwholesomc one.
The plausiblc bu, rotten claim which the out
going functionary has thoroughly investigated
and knows like book" makes its bow 10 his
successor newly whitcwashcd and looking as in
noerni AZ Il lamb. The fabrcators and eng-
nccrs Of III manner Of pretexts for getting then
arms into the Treasury have virgin soil to
work upou. Frequent, needless changes IN
such offices a. our Controllers are injurious
mr. S.. and should be avoided. Yet, for the lat
ar)een or twenty years. We have had new
Controller about a. often as we could. II -
not the interest Of the taxpayers that ths should
