Tavuner's Bible followed in the same
year The text was entirely formed on
the style of Matthews.
The Geneva Bible. This appeared in
1860, translated by Coverdalc, with notes,
Many persons assisted in the work. They
were exiles during the reign Of Mary
On the accession of Elizabeth in 1903,
some returned to England, and some re-
mained to finish the translation. This
Bible continued to be fayorite of the
English Puritans and Scotch Presby te-
rians- At least there are fifty impressions
extent at the present day.
The Bishops Bible, so called from Mat
thew Parker, archbishop of Canterbury,
who employed others to translate it. 1t
appeared in 1865
The Douay Bible, of which the New
Testament was printed at Rheims in 1882
and the Old at Douay in 1609-10.
King James's Bible. This appeared in
1911. 1t was labor of seven years.
Forty-seven were employed in the execu-
ton of the work. Twenty five were en-
gagged in the translation of the Old Testa-
ment, fifteen to the New, and seven to the
Apochropha. Complaints being made to
James l. Of England, on his accession to
the throne, convocation of the Estab-
lished and Puritan clergy at Hampton
Court was called; all agreeing in their
disapprobation Of the version of the
Scriptures, then most generally used.
James commissioned fifty-four of the most
learned in the university to commence a
new translation. The bishops were re-
quired in this instance, to inform them
selves of all the learned men within their
dioceses, who had acquired sufficient skill
in the Greek and Hebrew languages; and
to charge them to give special assistance
fn correcting obscure passages, and to for
ward the same to those commissioned in
the great work Of translation.
Seven Of the persons appointed were
absent when the labor commenced. Ok
ford, Cambridge, and Westminster where
the places appointed for their meeting
and when each division had finished the
part assigned to it, they all assembled,
compared their several translations, decid-
cd differences, and settled upon what they
considered the best translation When
the several divisions were finished, a gen
eral attendance was demanded, each one
reading, while all the rest held copies in
their hands. If any one objected to the
translation of any passage, the reader
stopped to allow them time for discussion,
comparison, and final decision.
King James's Bible is the Bible now
universally used, and itis the most faith
ful translation ever accomplished.

ANOTHER REBEL SAINT.-We have to record
the canonization of another Rebel saint-none
other than the notorious Wirz hung for the
starvation and murder of our prisoners at
Andersonville. His late counsel, one Schade,
being about to leave the country, writes a
long, rambling, disjointed letter to the Game
rican people, to convince them not only that
Wirz was an innocent and prosecuted man,
but that 26, 900 Rebel prisoners died (by inn
plioation starUed) in the North Sin the midst
of plenty" Saints are getting plenty.

FESTIVE REBELS IN VRGNIA.-A Union
meeting held in Smythe county, Va, on the
10Th ult, for the purpose of organizing for
action under the Reconstruction law, was
broken up by an armed body of Rebels, who
drove the Union men out of the Court House
and organized meeting of their own, at which
they passed resolutions ''denouncing Congress
as an unconstitutional body, usurping its
functions in depriving the people of the South
of their liberties and forcing upon them negro
suffrage; and that it is the sense of this meet
ing that President Johnson should use the
whole military power of the Government to
prevent the usurpation, and protect the people
of the South in their rights and liberties as
citizens of the United States"
General Schofeld, upon being informed of
the affair, promptly sent an officer to inquire
into all the circumstances attending it, and a
small body of troops will probably be stationed
in that county.
Such instances as this show the necessity
for the military features of the Reconstruction
law. Without it, free speech would be impos-
sble.

The RespOnsibilit of Northern Demo
Gratis for the RebeiIi on.
TEE New York World is combating the asser-
ton of the New York Times, that the Demo
Gratis of the North gave great encouragement
to the South to Rebel in 1S6O-61 Here is
what distinguished Democratic leader Of the
South, Governor Orr, of South Carolina, says
upon that point
"Many of you we'll remember that when the
war first commenced great hopes and eUpectd-
tons aOeTe held ont by our friends in The North
ana West thar there OouLd be no tUdr; and that
II commenced 10 mould be north of Mason and
DirOn'S Itle and not IN the South. You know,
sir (turnlng TO General Sickles) that faith was
pledged; and will now state that If that faith
had been properly carried ont there is no pro-
bability that any State but South Carolina
wou have seeded from the Federal Union"
Governor Orr is correct. Such were the
hopes and expectations held out by the great
majority of the present Northern leaders OF
the Democratic party; and had it not been for
this position Of the Northern Democracy, we
should probably have had no general Rebel
lion at the South. 1t was the encouragement
of Northern Democrats that led the South to
take that fatal step.

An Advocate of Repudiation.

The old family paper, the Hartford Cou
rant, was terribly bitter against the lastwar
with Great Britain, and advocated repudid-
tiOH of the national debt. 1t complained of
the "grinding oppression of direct tax of
twelve millions" to pay the interest, but
that was mere flea-bte to the present
taxation. In fact the shoddy patriots of
the Courdnt school of to-day manage to
get out of the peoples purse not less than
that sum yearly in pickings and stealings,
and the Courdnt thinks it all o. X. because
this was not war against any foreign
power, but sectional civil war. We cus
from its old files of 1916 this characteristic
specimen, says the Hartford Times:
THE MILL STONE UPON OUR NECKs.-
1t has been shown from substantial docu-
ments that the debt of the United States
will go on increasing, during the current
year, at the rate of upward of one million
dollars week. viii it ever be paid? viii
not its magnitude be such as to render the
liquidation of it impracticable? Will the
people bear the grinding oppression of n
direct tax of twelve or fifteen million dol
lars year for the payment Of mere inter-
est money? VIII they bear 1t, after being
generally convinced (as most certainly they
will be at length) that the war, which gave
birth to this debt and entailed such intOl-
cradle burdens upon them, originated, moi
in honest views for the general welfare
but from the selfish or malignant passion;
of certain leading characters, and or the
people of few particular States? No
they will rise in the terribleness of thei
might and shake the burdens from theil
backs.
The men who feed the administration
with money, will in all probability become
the victims of their own cupidity; bu
they equally merit that misfortune. Those
ifsuch they are, who believe war to b.
Just and necessary, and under the impres
SION of that belief, lend their money t
support it, will be entitled to some degre
of commiseration ii they suffer total loss
Whereas those who are opposed in priuci-
pie to the war, who think 1t has been wan
tOnly waged and unnecessarily continued
and of course that it is no other than an ag
gregation of horrible murders ;-if they
for the sake of the pieces of silver accruin
from the excess of interest. If they, in thei
in their road to wealth and perdition, shal
lend their money, time after time, for til
support of war which their hearts con
demn they will discover to the world
superlative degree of the most detestabl
moral turpitude; and to each of them
might be fifty said as was said to the avari
cious sorcerer of old, "1hv money peris
,oith thee"
