BIBLE REVISION

We have already mentioned in these columns
that new translation of the Bible is being made
N Ensland 1t is generally known amongst
scholars, that there are many inaccuracies and
lN'eIlolations in the version now in use, and in
all theological controversies biblical students go
Oc'nd the English version and appeal to the
original Greek or Hebrew, thus giving them an
advantage over the masses similar to that held
Ny the clergy before any English translation was
made, and tending to shake the confidence of the
people in the only version of the scriptures open
ioi their perusal.
Tie present effort then, will be watched with
interest from his side of the Atlantic and the
interest would have been deepened had eminent
American biblical scholars been invited to par
trpate in the work. AZ it is, however, it is
satisfactory to know that careful provision has
been made against sectaranism in the compost
ion of the " companies appointed to the per-
'ormance of this service. Though the move
nent originated at a convention of the Estab
Asled Church before which it was brought by
'he Bishop of Winchester, eminent scholars Of
Vher communions have been called to assist in

Miss Watson, Of Bucks county, Pa, described
as delicate young lady of sixteen" is rapidly
achieving newspaper Immortality by her agri-
cultural performances. She has, with a span OF
horses and a reaping machine, cut twenty-five
acres of wheat and forty acres of grass, and also,
ere this, laid low as many acres of oats Well
done, Miss Watson. 1t requires some skill IN
driving to do this work that has set editors SO
wild, but does not require half the exercise OF
strength called for by.a big. wash or heavy ron
ing, yet the competency of women for these Ia
bors, has, we believe, never been seriously
questioned. Now her ability to run moving
machine will be admitted, we presume, though
this has hitherto been supposed to be de-
partment of labor in which the superior mind
and muscle of man was absolutely required

that "some things can be done as well as

I The Republican joins us in rebuking the
dishonest attempt of the Gazette to make capital
for its party out of the action of Republican
Congress, in appropriating money for the erec-
ton OF pier at Lewes. 1t truly and justly says,
though the Senator and Representative from
this State voted for it Z" as they and their party
are greatly in the minority the attempt of the
F." Gazette to give them the u,dirided credit for
Z" the appropriation, is simply ridiculous. A fair
land honorable opponent would not be guilty
" of such meanness.

The utter hollowness of the White Mans
Party fraud every day receives fresh illustra-
ton. lii Baltimore, some Democratic polti-
clans following in the footsteps of the Fourth
Ward politicians of Philadelphia, have rented
room, and doubtless hired some worthless col
ored man to attend it, which they advertise as
a Colored Democratic Conservative Club. At
least one of the Democratic papers of the city,
smiles beningly on the movement while the
Observer, published down at Centreville, in
Queen Annie's county, halls it with openly
expressed delight as an evidence that
the Democratic party will soon secure
large portion of the colored vote. Now the
significant thing about this is that it is but little
time since this same paper flew at its head the
inscription Ihold that negroes are not and never
fought to be citizens Of the United States,
attributing the sentiment to Stephen A.
Douglass. How long will it probably be before
the Gazette is encouraging an effort to form
colored democratic club in DIR. Browns New
Liberia ?"

Some of the Eastern Shore Democratic papers
are bowling about the continuation of an in
come tax of 21s per cent year, all incomes Of
over $4,000, as though it bore with special hard
ship on those they represent. We cannot con-
ceive of tax in which they, or their people, are
less likely to be interested, as we would almost
lay wager that there is not on the whole Eas-
tern Shore, paper with dozen subscribers
whose income is over $4,000 year, and also
that the bulk of their subscribers, unless they
are unseliish to degree as yet unheard Of,
would rather the $4,000 men should pay the tax
than have it imposed in some other form on
themselves

The Democratic party in asking that the peo-
pie place it in power to ensure greaterpurity and
economy in the administration of the govem-
ment, forgets that it does still retain power in
some sections to which the people can turn their
eyes and learn something Of it's disposition for
purity and economy New York City, with the
most extravagant and corrupt government the
world has ever seen, il overwhelmingly demo-
cratic Maryland has been plunged by the demo-
cratic party, which stalked into power over
myriads of broken oaths, almost helplessly into
debt. In Delaware the Democracy has burdened
our State with a, debt and made its administra-
ton such mingled spectacle of driyeling imbe-
city and absurd bluster, that our name has be-
come a reproach and laughing-stock through
out the nation. And now in Kentucky, where
Democracy has held for years almost unques-
toned sway, it has done no better, and the
Frankfort Commonwealth charges 1t with :" yio-
lations of the State constitution" increase of
the State debit corruption" Legislative
rioting in times of pressing business" &c. and
there is no successful attempt made to dsprove
its charges,

There must be money in the recruiting busi-
ness without regard to the purpose for which
men are recruited, or whether they are recruited
for any real purpose at all. No sooner does an
instruction break out in Cuba or war COM
mence in Europe than half a dozen nobodies
suddenly appear in New York with "Colonel'
or other military title hung on their names and
gewgaw on the breast of their coat and at once
open recruiting offices to enlist men for one or
the other belgerent though everybody knows
before hand that no such recruits can or will be
permitted to leave the United States.
The men who engage in this business are, ac-
cording to the puffs the sensational press of New
York always gives them usually of ferocious mien
and commanding presence, and they invariably
wear good clothes. They arc usually without
other visible means of support and devote their
whole time to the ''patriotic" work in which they
are engaged; &C, ,as we said in the beginning, there
must ''be money in it" though We confess we do
not see where unless they take fees from the
fools they ''enlist" to muster them out or grant
them furloughs. But the recruits do not seem of
a character usually to be plucked SO readily. How
then do they make it pay2

The Gazette, of last Friday, surpassed any
of it's previous performances in the way Of wilful
and deliberate lying. !. 1t absurdly claims that
the appropriation for a pier at Lewes, is due to
the "undiuided and exclusive soork of The DEM
ocrdtic Senator's and Representatives. in Congress,
in the face of the fact that the members of that
party are absolutely powerless ta, pass any
measure, whatever, in Congress-. Thisis simply
absurd braggadocia but when it says that " the
''work has triumphed over the secret but de-
"termined opposition of the Radical party of
"this State,"it it gives utterance to a bald and
palpable lie, which the editor in defiance of well
known facts and abundant evidence deliberately
and malicously pens aoilt a,e fitn consciousness
that IL is lie; and this is likewise true in regard
to it's statements that this paper was delighted
at the apparent defeat of the blu.
We heartily supported the bill as did all prom
inent Republicans in the State, while but for the
strong endorsement given the project by the
Republican State Convention, it is probable it
would never have have passed. But argument
is impossible with paper which. 80 deliberately
ignores and misrepresents facts, as does the
Gazette in this matter, and we can only brand the
statement as it deserves.

Under the caption of "a Few Plain Words

Under the caption of ga Few Plain Words
the Gazette executes another double shuttle on
the Chinese question, and once more fails to
indicate it's own position. In fact it as much as
intmates that it never forms any opinions, on
any subject, until it has an authoritative ex-
preston Of opinion from its party in convention
assembled. 1t declares that it's position is that
OF the Democratic party. But no one knows
what s the position of the Democratic party, or
what it will be at it's next National Convention.
At the North its leaders profess opposition to the
movement, but at the South the leaders are
unequivocally committed to Chinese importation
on the most extensive scale. The men thus
committed are not Northern men, settled at the
South, but men who haye demonstrated their
right to voice in the counsels of the Democratic
party by years of active service in the rebellion.
The Gazette pretends to be ignorant in this mat
ter, and it is ignorant Of 30 many things that it
may even be 30 here, but We do not believe it.
What then will be its position if the Southern
Democrats either force their policy on their
party, or prevent any definite policy being
adopted? That is the question the Gazette
must answer, if not to us, to the working men
Of Wilmington.
