The NEW SENATOR FROM GEORGIA.
Or General John B. Gordon, Senator
elect from Georgia. the correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
"He has nothing of the Stephens in
his competition. He is as different as
white is from black. He is young, ar
dent, stout. eloquent; full of nerve,
energy, vim, and push; brilliant ora
tor, dashing military officer, and man
who never knew fear. In the Southern
army he won the title of the bravest of
the brave. He ia forty years old, we'll

slender, and would be handsome if a
piece of bomb she'll had not made an
ugly cash in his cheek. He was in all
the battles he could. by any possibility,
get into. and bears scars all over his
body. THIS gives him strength among
the colonels. captains, aud lieusenants,
who make up good portion of the Geor-
gia Legislature. They remember their
'oomrade in-arms.' Camp. fire and hard
tack ties are not severed in seven years. I"

In the book store of Mr.. Bouton,
on Broadway, New York, there is now
ON exhibition what is certainly the
most valuable copy of the Holy Bible
ever compiled. 1t represents the in
dustrious toll for thirty years of an
English collector of Biblical prints,
etchings, engrayings, original drawings
In oil and water colors, and au-
thoritative or curious editions of the
Scriptures, and is now roughly valued
at SO, 900, though its real price may
very likely prove to be much higher.
The complete text used is that of DIR.
Kisto' edition of King James Bible
but this is but fractional part of the
sixty huge folio volumes through which
it is spread. Sometimes the reader
will turn over fifty consecutive pages
ofillustrations between these scattered
fragments. Such subjects, for exam
pie, as "Susana and the Elders, or
Daniel in the Lions Den," are en-
riched with scenes of illustrations
drawn from every field of art-the
convent missals of the medieval
ages, the strange, fanciful, strikingly
false drawing Of the italian masters,
the grotesque works of Dutch and
German painters, and the later and
more truthful efforts of modern artists:
In all, this wonderful monument of
loving devotion to worthy hobby in
cludes no less than 10000 illustrations
Of various kinds, some of them worth
from $50 to 800 each, and extracts
from some thirty editions of the sa-
cred text. Such a treasure ought
speedily to find a purchaser in seme
Of our few great Libraries, where it
would be an unfailing spring of de
light and ndinstruction to artists and men
of letters.

THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT

President Grant has more power
than any of his predecessors in Office
had-and it depends upon himself
how he will use it-whether for good
or evil, in establishing peace, or con-
tinuing discord and alienation, in re-
turning the government to the con-
stitutional track, or in continuing it
in the war rut, with new usurpations
Andrew Jackson had all the moneyed
power against him, but Gen. Grant
is backed up by the banks and other
powerful corporations. In Jackson's
day the population of the country
was only thirteen millions, it is now
about forty millions. The annual
revenue under Jackson was less
than twenty-five millions; it is now
three hundred and eighty millions.
President Grant has the appointment
of a score of officials for every one
made by Jackson. He has enormous
powers growing out of legislation
since the war that none of his prede-
cessors were possessed of. lie has
party majority of two-thirds in Con-
gress to rely upon. 1t is possible,
however, that just here there is a
weak point. How if Congress, feel
ing its strength, should disae rec with
the President and set up for itself?
Members of Congress have for years
regarded the Federal appointments
within their districts as subject to
their disposal. Their recommenda-
tions have been regarded equivalent
to appointments. 1t Is thought by
many that the Presidents civil ser
vice views, as exemplified in the case
of the Philadelphia post-office, will
lead to collision between him and
Congress. If the politicians determ-
inc to make stand against the Pres
ident, they will probably have an ear
ly opportunity Of doing so on this
question. On other questions differ
ences may also arise. The politicians
may presume upon the announce
ment contained in President Grants
inaugural that he will have "no pol
icy to enforce against the will of the
people" Congress being to all intents
and purposes "the peOple.n
If the Executive and Congress har-
monize and act together they will
have clear field, and can do pretty
much as they please. Should they
antagoniZe, there wiz be as much
clashing as We saw In Andy John
sons time. Congress was too strong
for him. VIII it be too strong for
