JOHN j. ECKEL.
His Innocence of Any Connection with
the Murder of DR.. Burdeil.

After the announcement had been m al e
to Eckel that h. must die. we are in form
ed that, at the suggestion Of a promi-
nent citizen. Eckel's partner in crime.
Callicott, had an interview with him, for
the purpose OF drawing from him any
disclosures be might feel disposed to make
in regard to the morler OF DR. Burdell.
1t is stated that Eckel emphaticslly de.
clsred that he was entirely guiltIess OF
any connection with the crime, and that
he did not know who committed it. He
added that he entered the house at about
eleven o'clock on the night of the mur-
der; that he was met by Mrs. Coming
ham in tn. lower hall; that he noticed
she appeared confused aud excited; thrt
che preceded him up stairs to bis room;
that she STOPPED on the way up stairs and
closad Dr.. Burdel's bedroom door; that
she accomp sniei him to bis Nn bedroom
door. where he left her. locked his door
and retired to bed. and tha, he was en-
tirely ignorant o. the murder until sf,er
the disc tovery Of the body. This state
ment was made short time before his
death. and 10 view of the fact that hi
physicisn had informed him that his eni
was near and that he could not possibly
survive. Given nnder such solemn cir
cumstsnces it will doubtless be generally
believed. especially as. while it itexonerates
himself. it adds one more link to the
chain of testimony which poiu'el to Mrs.

HATCH THE THIEVES.

We shall soon begin to see the lOng-follOw-
ing evils of Congressional dawdling. For
month after month House and Senate We'd
with each other in wearisOme waste
of Invertebrates for buncOmbe, frequent
adjournments, pickering over trifes, and
all the aggravating catalogue. Now every
thing must be carried through with a rush, to
make I'D for it, We shall have all-night ses-
sions, the arbitrary settlement of the most
important matters by Conference Committees,
blind appropriations of scores of millions at 8
o'clock in the morning, while half the men,
bers are asleep in their chairs or in the cloak
rooms.
Against much of this it were idle to protest
But one appeal we have the right to make
We beg every honest Congressman, during
every working hour from now till the hour of
adjournment, to watch the thieves
They are all around you! They haunt your
hotels. They send cards to you at your board
lighthouses before breakfast They overtake
you on the Avenue. They lie in wait for you
at the doors of your Committee Rooms.
Through the Hobbies they swarm, and on the
floor of the House, during the session, the
worst of them do cOngregate. They are ex-
members. They are members friends, for
whose sake the DoOrkeeper has been
induced to ignore the rule. They come in the
guise of representatives of great manufacture
ing interests, of representatives of suffering
Southern loyalists, of representatives of our
languishing commercial marine, of representa-
tives of the most important railroad enter
prises, of representatives of all manner of
great and good things, and always making
false representations.
Between next Monday and next Friday the
appropriations will amount to possibly humid
red millions, perhaps much more. There are
thousands of items to be considered, and there
is no time in which to consider them. 1t is
the Thieves Carnival.
Within the next five days they will spring
all manner of projects upon Congress. Some
of them will want little appropriations for for
gotten claims. Others will want innocent-look-
ing changes of a few words in existing laws,
"merely for local purpose, Sir" which,
when too late, will be found TO be very
local indeed. Some will have pet clauses TO
be Struggled into appropriation bills; Others
will have land jobs, others subsidies Others in
crease of salaries, others release from obliga-
tions. They will have the most harmless
amendments of five words to be inserted
law general consent. on the third reading
They viii have tricks of springing obnoxious
measures when the enemies Of them are

SUI AMONG THE Prophets.

One of the oldfashioned prejudices which
cling pertinaciously to most of us is that in
favor of the old English version of the Bible,
over whose inaccuracies and mistranslations,
we are daily told, the new lights of the Church
are forced to turn blue with holy horror. The
Bible being the fountain from which all sects
draw not only their spiritual, but doctrinal
water of life, it is very natural for Presby-
terrain, Churchman, and Baptist to want to slip
into the well some colOring extract of his own.
Consequently, we have had any number of
substitutes, each offering to take the place of
King James's version, by means of which the
dogma of immersion, or apostolic succession
or sanctiticatiOn, can be comfortably proved.
The people, however, will have none of them,
and have so far treated Them more or less wise
ly, as broken pitchers that would hold no water.
BY way of compromising these difficulties, the
Bible was divided, few years ago, between
the most eminent scholars of different sects
for re-translation, which work. we believe, still
drags its slow length, half forgotten, along.
We have had the Sacred Books colated de-
prived of chapter and verse, turned upside
down OF inside out, at the within of each new
reformer. One heroic youth, few years ago,
eliminated all Objectionable passages for us,
and another gave us ragout of the whole.
expressed in modern and elegant English.
"suited to the taste of cultivated reading.r
The most important attack on the old YER
sion is now making by some of the Bishops of
the English Church, who invited the most
eminent scholars among the Presbyterians.
Wesleyans Congregationalists, and indeed all
the Dissenting bodies, to meet them in West
minister Abbey during last month, to prepare
for formal revision of the whole Scriptures.
The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol acts as
fugeman to the convocation, and is busily
issuing pamphlets of hints and suggestions. as
well as his own rendering of certain vital pas-
sages-a course which, in the latter instance,
certainly appears TO us premature.
This Bishop (EllicotD has, in fact, evolved
the whole affair, as our Boston cousins would
say, out of his own inner consciousness per-
sisting in it in spite of very decided snub-
bing from all the other conversations. except-
ing that of Canterbury. The good old Bishop
is evidently a true John Bull, with energy and
obstiDacy enough 10 take his own little versions

facturer. who. aware of Crispin tactics, had pre-
pared for the struggle. But they fall with
great heaviness on the few workmen who are
not members of the Crispin Order, and who are
thus not merely thrown out of work, but
placed under surveillance of the Order, are
driven from lodging to lodging by persecution,
and actually prevented from purchasing sup
niles from corner grocers. How men thus
nloced NAV be socially ostracizedis shown with
eraphic power in the letter TO which we have
referred
The " strikers" themselves are saved from
actual want only because of the ald extended
them by their fellow members. And this and
is very liberal Without doubt, we suppose,
the strikers in the present instance fare as
well in their idleness as when they were in
employ at full wages. OF course this pan
in which all is expenditure and, nothing Is pro-
duced, cannot be pursued forever; and though
the resources of the Order are great, the ex-
penditure also is large. In the end the present
strike will cost very large amount OF money,
and the " strikers" will lose their places.
But with a wiser policy the same sum which
will he thus foolishly wasted would have es-
tablishcd these 50 STRIKERS" in a shop of their
own, and placed them securely upon their own
benches as their own masters On any plain
and economical system of Cooperation these
men could start a shoe factory with the
funds they will receive from their organization,
which will now be wasted. There is no need
to show how this may be done, or to prove
that it can be done. There are numerous in
stances of successful cooperation in other
branches of manufacture, which fully prove
that the system is no longer an experiment.
Let the Marlboro strikers follow the ex-
ample of numerous wOrkingmen whose
establishments exist in every city, and they
will not need to resort to such uniustifabe
and cruel strikes as that against Billy Crates.
On the contrary, among the first results of
their success will be the natural wish to eX-
tend their manufactures by employing work
men without admitting them to the dignity
and advantages of partnership. They would,
as successful Co0peratOrs, be glad to employ
the man whom they now strike against, or to
send TO the distant shores of California for
Chinese Coolies to be educated into shoe
makers by the North Adams cOrdwainers of
That despised race.

The abSurdity of the policy of longer pro-
scribing Southern men for the part they took
in the war was glarngly illustrated yesterday
by the Senate, in refusing to remove the
political disabilities of Gustavus w. Smith and
Basil W. Duke. Smith was a Northern man
who left a good Office in this city to take a
poor one at the South, and who was treated
while holding it with the contempt and sus-
pcion which are naturally visited upon traitors
even by their fellows. Duke was a
Kentuckian who made little reputation
of doubtful kind by riding rough
shod with John Morgan over his native State
Neither has had much influence for evil since
the close of the war; What little they did
possess would have been gone as soon as they
were fully pardOned by the Government they
had fought against the little respect of their
fellows would have been lost to them the
moment they were relieved of the penalty of
their treason. The Senate in declining to
relieve them simply dignifes them in the eyes
of their former followers, and gives them
occasion to hate and more power to HARM
And what is urged of these men applies with
equal force to such others as ex-SenatOrs
Nicholson of Tennessee and Johnson of ArBan-
sas whose names were stricken from the
General Disabilities bill at later hour of the
day. The action of the Senate in these cases
is strong argument for General Amnesty.

We regret the proposition to displace Gen.
Merritt from the Naval Office, because it seems
to have no sufficient motive, and because it
violates the principle which we concur with
the President in regarding as vital to a pure
administration, viz, that of the Civil Service
reform. We do not believe good can come of
the removal of a competent and faithful Off
Ger, who is giving universal satisfaction merely
to find room for another man. We
believe it is true, Notwithstanding re-
cent denials, that Mr. Grinnell has re-
signed the Collectorship, and has asked for the
Naval Office but we do not see that this
alters the case. Mr.. GHnnell is most excel
lent citizen, and, in spite of possible mis-
takes, he has made better Collector than
most of those now denouncing him wished
him to be. He deserves well of this city, and
of the Republican party; and we shall be glad
to see his services fifty recognized. But we do
not think it well to do this by turning out of
Office an unexceptionable officer, just at the
time when his services are becoming of the
greatest value to the Government.

lmpetosity in debate has at times led to
fine flights of fancy and elOquence, but that it
also tends to make ridiculous those who in
dulge in it is shown by the report of the
wOrdy combat between Messrs. Dawes and
Peters in the House yesterday. After calling
each other extravagant names for quarter of
an hour, the gentlemen employed as much
more time in explaining that, though they be-
lieved all they had said, they were sorry for
the utterance, and, attributing everything to
the cheat of debate" begged the reporters to
blot the record of their rage. How ridicu-
Ions they appear to the public they will
perhaps learn from the report else
where printed, which the stenOgraphers
did not blot. A Washington correspond

quency with which personalities are introduced

a time, if matters go on at this rate no resort
but rule which will gag impetuous members
altogether The idea that an argument can
be properly conducted by men in a rage is an
absurdity which we trust those who have just
made themselves ridiculous will recognize, if
no one else in Congress does.

We have great noise made about the fact
that half our Congressman, or more, have
united in character for Mr. David A. Wells
on his leaving our service. One would think
such certificates had never been given before

wife, get fairly OF otherwise the names of
