If paul Pry" will turn TO Genesis,
chapter p, verses % 81, and also to
cnapters y: II, he may hear Of an
older of twins" So McGuflcy is in
good company, If he IS not a good
grammarian.
Here what the Lord and Moses say,
then apply "Pry's" criticism:
"And the Lord said unto her Re
bcllah) two nations are in thy womb,
and two manner Of people shall be
separated from thy bowels; and the one
people shall be stronger than the other
people; and the 'eic'cr' shall serve the
younger" %: %.
"And these words Of Esau, her
'eldcr' son, were told Rcbckah." &c.

CRITICIsM.-If the good sense Of the
Lord aad Moses had been used TO leave
out the word" "eller' the authors wouid
not have been rendered SO ludicrous.

ing, because, according TO this critic,
he sacrifices harmony aud perpIexes
the learner the moment he does SO.
Again, in quoting from the loo page
OF Wilson'S Second Reader, his error
hunting proclivity is most unhappily
disappointed: Further off is q man
with gun on his shoulders" If auy
error appears here it is typographical
But that Is even doubtful. II is easy
TO imagine man resting a gun on his
shoulders by passing it along the back

military, yet frequently chosen by TIE
sentinel to rest his weary arm and
shoulder. rafta.t nL
He has the pertinacity to tell us that
the scholarly McGuIey- has made
many "flagrant mistakes in writing
and compiling his books" and quotes
from the lesson Of "The Twins to
illustrate il. This IS his defective sen
tence: Edward, the elder, COM
planned" lie asks, whoever heard of
the elder Of twins"
We reply, that whoever has read the
2Sd verse Of the 25th chapter ofGenesis,
knows that the Lord, in speaking to
Rebekah, calls E,au the elder, and
says the elder shall serve Jacob, the
younger. But supposing this bit Of
history too antiquated 10 have been
studied by our critic, ] ask him
whether he ever heard or knew Of n
pair of twins being born at the same
moment of time? And if age dates
from the moment of birth who. pos
sessing discenmcnt, can impeach an
author for making even this nice and
OBVIOUS distinction?
In closing his article he includes
editors as among literary characters

position is untenable. Errors are TO
he found in the writings Of Addison,
Swift Hume, and all writer's of dis
tincticn, both ancient and modern.
Able critics have pointed them out,
not With spirit of Intolerance, but TO
correct and guide others in performing
thedelicase task of composition. These
critics keep il view the one important
fact that nearly all errors found in the
works of men of genius are involun-
tary, ana heare tho more eXcusa,de,
being similar 10 mans other works OF
imperlection. Tho use OF criticism is
well understood, and It's Office is denied
to none who are competent. But no
good can accrue from faulty per
formance. The criticism is condemned

namely, errors; expressing imaginary
detects that results from difference
of style among authors. McGufley's
school books are strongly in prefer
ence among teachers and pupils, and
to supplant them one must necessarily
produce series of school books that
will have superior merits.

The True Issue.

Before and since the elections, the
.Copperheads have continually and de-
family assailed our ears with tho asser-
ton thatthe southern people will not
accept the Constitutional Amendment,
and indeed, if they did, it would be no
fault OF Andy Johnson and his late
allies, who have done all they could to
prevent such action. Hfna lnr
We do not pretend TO expect that In
the present temper OF the Southern
people there is much likelihood that
they will adopt the Constitutional
Amendment, and We do not believe
that their failure TO adopt il at the pres
ent time will prove an injury TO the
country. -s-
Although the Democracy tried to
make it SO appear, il was not negro
suffrage that was in issue at the recent
elections. The real great question
was, shall those lately in rebellion be
again allowed to obtain the control
ling power IN this Government? The
loyal people decided that they should
not. The Constitutional Amendment
was sustained because it deprived them
of that power. Let Us stick TO that
issue and all viii be we'll. Let the
Southern people stay out in the cold
and cool their heels cogitating over the
matter Is long as they please. While
they halt and deliberate, We will gain
strength. II we are wise, 70 Copper.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Stephens is prepar-
ing his manifesto to be read at the Fenian
mass meeting here on Sunday next. No
fresh developments will be made at the
Senate headquarters until after the return
of Sweeny and Roberts.
The European War Begun.
The London Daily News says the Prus-
slams have crossed the Erder and the Aus
trians have fallen back. By this means
the King secures the means of exercising
the sovereignty to which he lays claim in
Holstein, and puts 1t out of the power of
the Emperor to hinder him. II, then, the
publicists correctly define war as that state
in which we prosecute our right by force,
the war has begun, although not shot has
been fired.

The widow of Geo. II. Simpson, who died
of cholera a few days ago, was attacked by
the same disease yesterday and died last
night. Miss Malone, reported sick Of chol-
era yesterday, is recovering.

Financial.
New YORK, June 22.-The Commercials
money article says: The speculative ex-
element In gold soon sobered down very
much, and the prevailing feeling favors the
dear side. lis thought the loan interest is
strong enough to check the downward ten
dency. The chief support of the market
is in the present relative price OF 5-20's at
London and New York.
The export of specie tomorrow is likely
to be comparatively light and will consist
chiefly OF bullion in transit from San Fran
cisco to London. Dealers in rates of ex-
change induced better demand for bills on
London and the Continent, but transac-
tiOns are still quite moderate, and the sup
ply of second hand bills is entirely ex-
hausted.
Stock speculation is quiet, but the mar
ket is generally steady. The absence of
outside operators makes it difficult for
cheques to manipulate raise or get rid of
any important amount of stock at any
price. Governments are less active. For
eign banks are Offering five-twenties prob
ably upon orders to sell received by the
China, but not in amounts large enough to
effect the market. Five-twenties retain
yesterdays prices. Seven-thirties are 16c.
better. Money still shows extreme ease.
Their is very little demand for either loans.
The rate continues at FIVE per cent on ordi-
nary collatterals and four per cent. on Gov
ernments. Discounts range from five to
seven per cent.
