the President Of tho United States to concur
with Her Majesty IN appointing Commission

Bible. at the request Of Her Majesty's Gov
ern1nent, who wished to hive moro time for
considering the subject, he had deferred his
motion, which be should otherwise have
brought forward much earlier in the
session, and now perhaps he should be
met with the objection that in the interval
Convocatiou had appointed acommittee which,
at the end Of this month, would commence
the revision Of tho Authorized Version, and
that, therefore. it was now too late for Her
Majesty's government to intervene Undoubt-
edly. however. should it seem to Parliament
that the work ought to be taken up, whether
as national OF, as he hoped, an international
undertaking, md should accordingly be en-
trusted to royal commission instead OF
committee OF con7ocation, that body would
feel the respect due to such q decision. It
would be impossible for what was IN fac. q

claim to act either on behalf Of tile Church Or
the nation. to preoccupy the ground,
should it be the opinion OF Parliament
that the subject ought to DO taken up by
the government instead. Now, there were

We have no interest whatever in the c1-
listing quarrel between the opposing DEM
ocratio factions in Chicago. We have
very deep interest, md so has every
other citizen who lives by his labor
and not by his knavery, in the
election Of good Judges. Whatever
may be the result Of the election next
Saturday, We earnestly hope that no such
calnrnity mny be inflicted upon this COM
munity as the election of E. r. Runynn
to the Office Of Circuit Judge. Let the
people Of the West Division look at the
mapof their proposed parks and boulevards,
and ask themselves whether they suppose
for an instant that that zig -zag contrivance,
as crooked as Virginia worm fence, was
the product of honesty and fair dealing.
Let them inquire whether the projectors Of
tho WORM fence are working and spending
their money TO elect one uf their own nnm-
Der launyan) to the Office Of Circuit
Judge? It will be found that they
are. It will be easily conceived TINT they
nre not doing 80 with an eye single to tho
public veal, especially when it is understood
TINT tho candidate has no cla1ula to the
ofice above those Of q Police Court shystcr.
:. The fact is, TINT Kunyan could never have
been nominated in q regular party minority
on u full vote, and, knowing that
they can elect only one Judge,
they will not talse the risk of helping sec
ond candidate. Neither cnu Mr.. Rogers
friends, for the latter reason, afford to vote
for Runynn. They are bound to knife
each other wherever they can, Mr.. Tree's
friends, very sensibly, vote for only one
candidate, knowing that every vote cast for
a second candidate diminiahes his chances

The citizens of Colorado are in the best of

vast mineral wealth. Whether they will

General Pierce reports the Kanaas Pacif-

completed by the 1st of September. The
surveys for the road between Georgetown
and Denver, SIXTY miles, nre NIL completed,
and show that the entire road can
be located on grade less thnn
seventy feet to the mile. Arrangements
are nearly completed to build thirteen
miles of the line during the present sea-
son, and the whole can be finished next
year. This road will open to the tourist

the public mind concerning the method of
voting for Judges at the coming election in
this county, some persona supposing that
they can cast three votes for u single can
didate, while others think TINT they can
vote for only two candidates in all;
TINT is, one for Supreme Judge and one for
Circuit Judge To correct these misappre-
henEions, We republish the seventh section
of the schedule of tho new constitution,
which is rs follows:

It will he seen that each voter is entitled
to vote for one candidate for Supreme
Judge, and two candidates for Circuit
Judge, and no more. Any person attempt

will lose his vote, and. will also be iable to
