RumOrs About COlfax and the Tribune.

The subject of the prospective arrange
ments of the New York Tribune is much
discussed in connection with the selection
of Hon. Schuyler ColfaX to take Mr.. Gree
ley's place as editor of the paper. Mr.
Colfax has long been personal friend of
Mr. Greeley, and it is said that he was Mr..
Greeley's choice for President early in the
year 1872. 1t is probable that these rela.
tions may have made Mr.. ColfaX reluctant
to take the field against Mr.. Greeley in the
late Presidential canvass. Since Mr.. Gree
ley's death, Mr.. Sinclair, who is a large
stakeholder in the Tribune, and who has a
warm appreciation of Mr.. ColfaX, has been
in negotiation with him on this subject. 1t
is understood to-day that the post of
editor-in-chief has been offered to Mr..
Colfax, with liberal salary, but upon the
condition that he takes the helm at once.
1t is believed that he will resign his posi-
ton as Vice President and forthwith enter
upon his new duties. There seems little
reason to doubt that, under the new man.
agement, the paper will surrender the
Liberal views it has lately held, and be-
come once more Radical party organ.
Whether Mr.. Whitelaw Ried will remain
under the new management is not known.
He is a considerable stakeholder in the
paper. There is a rumor that Senator
Conkling has organized this movement,
and that the arrangement is for q clean
sweep Of the Tribune employees, both in
New York and this city but no authority
is expected for this report. The subject is
one that excites much interest among the
politicians of both parties Wash. Cor.

IT is to be hoped that the Attorney

IT is to be hoped that the Attorney
compromise to the rival legislative bodies
in Alabama that will prove satisfactory. 1t
is reported that his suggestions are satls-
factory to both parties. Without passing
judgment upon the merits of the contro-
versy, it is certainly desirable that SUCH
conflicts should terminate as speedily as
possible. The South does not gain any
thing in the estimation of the country by
such unfortunate contests. The Amerl-
can people oppose revolutionary acts. They
favor peace, justice to all men and strict
observance of the laws of the land
The troubles in Alabama and Louis
lana are misfortunes. They injure
the South, not only the States i'm
mediately concerned, but the whole
South. They encourage the idea that the
South is not yet settled, and that other
States than those now disturbed may be
likewise thrown in disorder.
1t is significant how quick the Demo-
Gratis of the States named fly to Washing
ton for relief. They are loud in their pro-
testations against Federal interference
with State affairs, but they seem quite as
ready to appeal to it as their opponents.
The friends of law and order everywhere
will rejoice to see that the President is
slow to judgment in these matters, prefer
ring to advise and conciliate rather than to
dictate or repel. We hope peaceful and
speedy solution of the troubles will be
reached in Alabama. AS for Louisiana,
we Judge there are few to doubt but that
Warmoth is a scoundrel, and means to
bring about trouble if he can. If he
should happen to be right this time, it
will be an accident. If Judge Durell does
not incarcerate him in dungeon, we shall
always think he ought to have done it.

Valuable Book.

We have been shown a very valuable
book entitled San Illustrated History of
the Holy Bible" by the eminent Biblical
author, John Kitto, ID. d., F. 8. A. The
works heretofore prepared by DIR. Kitto-
encyclopedia Of Biblical Literature"
among the number-have such high
standing among theologians that the
present work must meet most favorable
reception. --zsz--,r--s---s-s--u--
The book is history of the Bible, being
a connected account of the remark able
events and distinguished characters CON
tanned in the Old and New Testaments,
Including the life of Christ and His Apos-
ties. The style is simple and the narrative
so interspersed with illustrations and
personal incidents as to makeit attractive
even to children. The incidents and facts
are arranged chronologicallys so
that the reader is carried along as deeply
interested as though reading Pilgrims
Progress, land yet, in every page, gathering
all the more prominent facts of Bible his
tory. The work is very elaborate, full
enough for its purpose and yet not cum
bersome. Connected with it is most val
liable index, in which the reader can find
readily all the information the Bible af-
fords of its leading characters and subjects.
1t contains also a chronological table
divided into eight periods, which is the
most complete and best arranged of its
kind we have ever seen. 1T has in addi-
ton synchronical table of the Kings of
Judah ard Israel and table of moneys,
weights and measures mentioned in the
Bible. 1t is printed in bold type in con-
venient form and handsomely bound.
Mrs. Carter's, on Church street, ass agent
for the work. Persons desiring TO canvass
for it should apply to him at once.
