FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGToN, March 1.-THE caucus
sing is so far resultless as to adjournment
or special Kuklux legislation. The i'm
preston is growing that the Democrat al
ded by more Conservative Republicans,
will succeed in defeating any legislation
supplementary to reconstruction.
The Democratic caucus this morning
resolved that it was the duty of every
member to remain in his seat to defeat
the dangerous Legislation.
Collector Wallace, of the Sd South Caro-
lima District reports that his assistant and
an illicit distiller killed each other on the
first fire.
The Government has official advices
from Camp Supply indicating Indian hos
~tilities. The tribes, instead of killing
buffalo, are fattening ponies, which know
ing ones say indicates a general raid on
the white settlements.
Nothing has transpired regarding the
proceeding of the High Commission, ex-
cept the details of their dinners.
There are eight vacant seats in the Sen
ate.
The Republican caucus has determined
to remain in session until the Southern af-
fairs are fully discussed, and some law de-
vised which will satisfy the Southern ex-
tremists.
Morton's bill making outrages amena-
BILE to the Federal courts, exacting IRON
clad oaths from Federal jurors will be pre-
sented on Monday.
The Senate caucus appointed a COM
mittee of five to confer with a similar COM
mittee from the House caucus to devise a
force bill.
Later and more reliable facts regarding
the Republican Senatorial caucus state that
it was resolved that only the Ku Klux
bill will be entertained.
The Cincinnati and Southern Railroad
bill failed.
A majority of all parties seem %indispo-
sed to enter upon general legislation.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Three nun
dred and eighty hogsheads of sugar were
lost By the sinking of steamer Albemarle,
bound hence for Richmond. The crew
were saved, but everything else was lost.

MOBILE, Ala, March 11.-Mobilew was
visited by a terrible storm to-day. fasting
five hours. A negro woman was killed by
lightning. The eastern and western por-
tions of the city are completely overlooked.
The bridges are washed away, and stores
are flooded. Heavy losses to the merchants
by the overflow. The is due, in great part
to the tracks of the New Orleans, Mobile

New Translation Of the Bible.

learn from a private but authentic
source. that the Committee on the Revis-
ion and Retranslation of the Bible, though
very active, will not be able to give us the
revised New Testament until about four
years from now, and the Old Testament
not until a little over ten years. There
will hardly be a text in the whole Bible
left unaltered. Now that these ecclesias-
tics are fully committed to the work, they
find that the changes forced upon them by
the unanimous conclusions of scholars are
as startling asthey are peremptory. The
Lords Prayer, has, l learn, been already
altered in an important particular. The
word ''tresspass' does not rightly translate
any word in the Bible. This was indeed
known by King James translators, who
thought that the right translation of the Pc
tition was Forgive us our debts as we for
give our debtors" But it was naturally
thought that this true translation might
endanger the faith of all the shop-keepers
in England fraternity not much inclin-
ed to forgive their debtors.-C~incinnati

The Head us n Workshop.
BY SPECTATOR


What a singular thing the head is? We
may look into an ingenious workshop and
be astonished at the many engines and de-
vices arranged for the execution OF skill
ed labor, but as we thus look, we hold on
our shoulders a more extraordinary work.
shop, containing endless devises, and that
runs on, and still on, until death breaks
the king-wheel. The work of this pecu-
liar shop fills the werld. 1t is the estab-
lishment where almost anything can be
constructed. Its executions put the whole
world in a buzz, and keeps 1t whirling.-
The products of its labor floats out in Ma
vies, grows up in vast Cities. spreads out
in immense ornamental plains, streams
away in prolonged lines of powerful Lo-
comotives. and darts through the air, earth
and ocean, in threads of elastic fire. The
yield of this extraordinary shop can be
found everywhere. 1t covers our persons,
constructs our houses, paints pictures for
our eyes, manufactures music for our
ears. procures all that nature does not fur
nish to satisfy the taste, and then unwill-
ing to stop idly, goes on and manufactures
an endless variety of stings and tortures
to counteract and destroy the pleasures
and benefits its former labors have yielded.
It's machinery is never idle. When it has
nothing to do-no special orders to fill
then it does the most. When the body is
worn down with fatigue, and falls to sleep,
the hammers of this workshop rattle away
upon countless thousands of jobs of dream
work, and often finishes them off in better
style thar it is able to fill special orders.
Although each one of us owns a shop of
this kind, yet we know but little about it.
We feel the machinery at work-the bel
lows of the heart driving up the heat of
the furnaces, but we know so little about
the actual operation, that when we think
our shop is making one thing, something
else, quite different is turned out. We
give our head-machinery q great success
to construct, and the order when filled. is
IN immense failure. And, then again,
we undertake toclear out the shop, %reliev-
ing it of accumulated rubbish, and the
contents leap forth a valuable success.
The only successful method of certainly
commanding the shop, is to drown it by
means of intemperance and excess. Whilst
thus hooeed. the owner, lat least every
body else), may be assured that no good
VIII be accomplished. Our head-shops

1t is said that last November, while the
throat of war was believing its horrid thun-
ders over France, the illustrious French
statesman, Guizot, sat quietly at his desk
writing a history of his country for the
instruction of children. We thought of
this example of intellectual serenity I'M
der difficulties when, on one occasion du-
ring the past winter, amid the ~iercest dis
c~ussions of the San Domingo quarrel, we
found Charles Sumner in his study, calm
ly revising the proof-sheets for the fourth
volume of his collected writings. The
spectacle would have furnished Isaac Dis
raell with a fine chapter on the "Consola-
tions of Literature" In the silence of
his library, engaged in reading once more
the half- battle words which he spoke
twenty years ago, the face of the reEown-
ed Senator seemed lighted up with the
joy of great victories and the exultation
of great hopes, and gave evidence that his
soul had found, in these literary tasks, a
present oblivion for the rough assaults of
Mr.. Chandler and "the piled up agony of
the Senator from New York"
All people who care for American litera-
ture, or who can remember with s~atisfac-
ton the second heroic age of American
history, heard with eager interest, many
months since, that Mr.. Sumner had under
taken the task of bringing together, and of
revising with great care, the entire series
of his works. Few persons. probably, as
yet, know with how great care his task is
being wrought. We doubt if any great
literary labor of our time has been done
with such minute attention to accuracy
and with such scrupulous fidelity of criti-
cism.-TiHon'S Golden Age.

TAX ON REAL EsTATEAGENTs.

The Tennessee Legislature which late
ly adjourned, much to the satisfaction of
all parties, in carrying out its policy of
raising a revenue by taxing the brain and
energy of the State, among other things,
levied a tax of seventy-fve dollars on Real
Estate Agents, which tax amounts to a
virtual prohibition in all except a few pla-
ces in the State. We feel justified in
saying that the Real Estate Agencies of
Knoxville have done more toward bringing
capital and immigration into East Tennes-
see than all other influences put together,
and if it were possible to have n such
in each county throughout the State a vast
deal more would be done in one year to
induce immigration than can be accom-
plished through other means in ten. We
may organize as many immigration socie-
ties as we please and expend all the mo-
ney we can squeeze out of the treasury,
which is precious little, and yet we will
not accomplish one half what a single well
organized Real Estate Agency will effect,
prepared as they all are to set forth in its
truest and most favorable light, the adj
vantages which each particular locality af
fords to persons seeking homes in Tennes-
see. Men who mean business always
like to correspond with business men
r. A. e. 4IcA ,nforVnoson 1arIr-
ed from them of whatever character is
more likely to be correct and reliable than
that derived from any other source. EE
cry man who engages in any line ofbusiness
commences by informing himself as to the
details of that particular calling, and is
of course better prepared to answer ques-
tons concerning it than those who had not
done 50. Therefore. we say this class of
men ought to be encouraged instead of be-
ing ground down by heavy taxes, until a
large per cent of their profits is swallow
ed up in paying them. Such men instead
of paying for a privilege should be paid a
premium for every immigrant they have
been instrumental in bringing here. But
they don't ask this. All they want is to
be allowed to pursue their avocations with
out being compelled to pay, as it were, a
penalty for doing that which every II
processes great anxiety to have done. Had
the tax been limited to a certain per cent
on sales made, there would have been
less cause for complaint, but to COM
pell the payment of a heavy tax merely
for the privilege of engaging in haz-
ardous business, is monstrous.
There would have been a Real Estate
Agency in each county of East Tennessee
if this tax had not been laid. or if it had
been limited to ten dollars the State would
have derived double the amount of Rev.
emu from that source, that it will receive
from the present prohibitory rates, to say
nothing about the other advantages alrea-
dy enumerated.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR AT
BRISTOL.

We are glad to learn that the people of
Bristol. and the citizens of that vicinity,
both in Tennessee and Virginia. are about
to organize an Agricultural Fair. We
hope u people will give them every en-
enlargement, and contribute what they
can to make it q success.
We believe Washington County can
take the premium in Flour, Hogs, and fine
Sheep. Will some of u farmers try for
it? Take hold gentlemen, and don't lot
old Washington lose her ancient prestage
in this line.

The Ravagcs Of the Great Tor
made.

ST. LOUIS, March 9.-The number of
| deaths caused by the tornado, which passed
over East St. Louis yesterday afternoon,
as far as known, are seven, as follows /:
John Halpin, employed on bridge John
b. O'Neill, purchasing agent Southeastern
Railroad John Vogel Dan Collins, limo
thy Drumue, Isaac Evans, engineer Chicago
and Alton Railroad. Burned in round
house John Eisley, brakeman Toledo and
Wabash Railroad. and a teamster, name
unknown. There were about a score very
severely injured, heads being terribly
burned and legs and arms broken. Some
will undoubtedly die. The less seriously
and slightly injured will out-number the
above.
The immense mass of frame work around
the eastern abutment of the bridge, con-
sisting of derricks and massive supports
for other hosting apparatus. were blown
down like so many reeds. Some thirty
families were rendered homeless by their
houses being blown down. Most of the
latter are totally destroyed.
The steamer Mollie Able lost her Chin
neys and texas. All the upper works of
the iron ram indicator, owned by the fer
ry company, was swept away. The tug
boat Hewitt, belonging to the bridge CON-
pany, lost her upper works, and Captain
Montgomery blown into the river, but he
was saved with slight injury. At the section
docks. on this side of the river, below the
city, the storm struck slightly, carrying
away the chimneys of the steamer w. b.
Douce and displacing her cabin several in
ches, and forcing the steamer Rubicon and
several barges from their moorings. AT
the Pittsburg coal dyke, on the Illinois
shore, the ferry boat America lost her up
per works, and her pilot, Richard johnson,
was very badly hurt. Several small houses
were demolished at this point.
