Striking Out Spurious Passages
from the New Testament.

The last number of the Churchnlan (Episco
pail announces that the New Testament Re
vision Committee have stricken out as spuri
Gus the last seven verses of the last chapter OF
St. Mark. These are the verses on which the
Peculiar People" found their creed, and are
as follows:
IA. Afterward He appeared unto the eleven
as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with
their unbelief and hardness of heart because
they believed not them which had seen Him
after He was risen
15 And He said, Go We into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16. He that believes and is baptized he shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned
II. And these signs shall follow them that
believe: In My name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues.
Is. They shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt
them they shall lay hands on the sick and
they shall recover.
10. So then, after the Lord had spoken unto
them, He was received up into Heaven, and
sat on the right hand of God.
90 And they went forth and preached
everywhere; the Lord working with them,
and confirming the Word with signs follow
ing.
1t also stated that the committee struck out,
as being false Interpolation, a verse in one of
the Epistles, which is frequently quoted as a
proof of the existence of the Trinity. The
verse alluded to is supposed to be the seventh
verse of the fifth chapter of the first epistle
general OF ST. John, viz: ''For there are three
that bear record in Heaven-the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three
aresOne."

No Soft Money Candidate,

1t is claimed in some foolish quarters that
the proceedings of the recent Democratic
Convention in Ohio diminish the chances of
Gov. Tilden at St. Louis, and increase those
of Gov. Hendricks. Well, if this be 80 they
diminish the prospects of Democratic success
in November in just about the same proper
ton. No doubt the presentation of Gov.
Aliens name is a mere blind, and it is quite
possible that the real man whom the Ohio in
fiationists are in search of may turn out to be
Hendricks But if their financial principles
prevail at St. Louis, and the Convention nom
mates candidate who accepts them, it will
not make any difference what his name is.
We are confident that the ST. Louis Con-
vention will not follow the lead of the wild
theorists of State which is certain to 90 Re
publican both in October and November.
Nevertheless, it behooves the hard-money
Democrats everywhere to be on the alert, and
stand their ground, and thus make sure of s
sound platform, and a candidate to match.
With list of worthy names to select from,
those who will compose a large majority of
the st. Louis Convention need not be fright
ened by the motley crowd of financial fanatics
that shout at the trembling heels of the octo-
genarian Bill Allen.-[N. Y. Sun, Oem)

Carl Scbfrz interviewed.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Hon. Carl Schurz is in
town to-day. In conversation with Tribune
reporter has expressed very freely his views
on the Presidential candidacy. He considers
Bristow the best man for the Republican nom-
ination, because of his availability with all
classes and parties, including the Independent
reformers, because he has been one of the
most active reformers, because he has been
one of the most active prosecutors of the Off
cial frauds with which the great masses have
no sympathy, and because throwing him out
would cast more or less odium on the party
He considers Charles Francis an excellent
choice, but thinks there is little probability of
his becoming q candidate. He speaks of
Blaine disparagingly as candidate for Presi-
dent because he lacks the record of a reformer
which Bristow possesses Schurz says the
sentiment of the country is stroHgly for re-
form, and that the party which wins mnst do
it on reform basis and candidate

The Ohio Convention.

1t must be understood that the Ohio
Convention was divided into factions,
the one desiring the endorsement OF
Senator Thurman as candidate for the
Presidency and the. other determined
to confer the honor on Ex-Governor
Allen. The former was, for the dis
tinction, called the "hard-money" fac
tion, although we are unable to see the
least prOpriety in the name Although
in hopeless minority in the Conven-
tion, the Thurmanltes managed to
secure majority of the Committee on
Resolutions, which Occasioned the
bringing in oftwo reports, the minority
report being adopted by the Conven-
tion, through the financial resolutions
of the majority ought to have been sat
isfactory to the most enthusiastic ad-
mirer of redundant paper currency.
In the first place, these "hard-money"
Democrats of Ohio demand the i'm
mediate repeal of the Resumption Act,
and "oppose any measure of legislation
which snail arbitrarily fix a day for
such a resumption" They declare
that the charters of the national banks
ought not to be renewed, and that each
of these institutions should be wound
up when its present charter expires,
and Treasury notes issued in lieu there
of. This was the platform which the
Allen faction rejected, and its trainers
were the representatives of the "hard-
money" Democrats of Ohio! Such a
declaration of principals as this ought
to have been satisfactory to the paper
money men, but it was not.
The platform on which the "green-
back" party of the West has planted
its foot is easily understood. There
was no attempt at equivocatiOn or con-
cealment on the part of the supporters
of William Allen. The general propo-
sitions are clearly and concisely and
strongly stated. In style and vigor of
expression no Convention on either
side has produced anything half so
outspoken during the present contest.
The repeal of the Resumption act, the
defeat of all schemes for resumption
that involve a contraction of the cur.
rency, the early substitution Of legal
tenders for national bank notes, the
making of ''greenbacks" received for
customs, and the making of silver
legal-tender for all debts, whether large
or small-thesea are the plain principles
of political action to which the Ohio

simple womanly dignity-the best of good
breeding.
The great event of her life, so far, is COM
ing next month. The whole family are going
to the Exposition in Philadelphia. Our little
rustic will pay very little attention to bric-a-
brac or ceramic ware. She does not know
terra Gotta from Sevres; she is not likely eth
er to linger long before the pictures, or any
works of art; but the wonderful plants of all
countries will hold her like enchantment; no.
body who goes to the great concourse will
catch shrewder, juster glimpses of the strange
phases of human nature gathered there; and
when she enters the old hall where her coun-
try had its birth, and reverently touches the
cracked bell, it will be with the passionate
loyalty of child. No doubt, when she
comes to the woman's department, she will be
elated and boastful as to the achievements of
her sex; not perceiving that she, and the vast
obscure sisterhOod to which she belongs,
chaste, modest, practical women, faithful
wives and tender mothers, are the chief pro-
duct of American domestic life in the past
century, and the products to which her
country can most safely and proudly point

The Charges Against Secretary
Robson.

The National Republican has what is
probably an authorized statement on
behalf of Secretary Robson, which we
copy in full:
The Secretary of the Navy says that
the publication by the Naval commit
tee Of the House of the testimony ta-
ken in Philadelphia, before giving him
or the officers of his Department any
opportunity to state the true version
of the affairs inquired into, is but one
instance of the unfair action of the COM
mittee. The testimony taken has ex-
tended over all the operations of his
Department for more than seven years,
and has entered into the details of al
most every transaction. The exami-
nation has been conducted in secret
session, in a manner to leave every
thing, as far as possible, unexplained,
without notice to anybody sought to
be implicated, and without any oppor-
tunity to repel any inference, and the
evidence is now published in detached
parts, so that such explanations as
have come out in the course of the ex-
animation are either not published, or
have no apparent connection with the
mdltelS tney explain.
He says he is ready and anxious to
60 before the committee whenever they
will hear him; that he has been silent
hitherto with the idea that the testi-
mony would not be published until
both sides were heard, but that now he
thinks he has a right to demand =
speedy hearing with open doors, so
that the public can have his testimony
at once, and the justification follow as
soon as possible after the publication
of the matters complained of. He says
that his business transactions with the
Cattells, since he has been in the Navy
Department, have been very few, and
will be easily explained; that the cir
cumstances of the Monmouth Beach
property was fully explained in the
testimony of Mr.. Alex. g. Cattell, ta-
ken two months since in Washington,
but which has never been published.
He says further that it will appear
that Mr.. E. g. Cattell's transactions
were studiously concealed from him;
that the persons with whom he carried
them on were persons who were who'll
ly unknown to the Secretary, and who
never came in contact with the Depart
ment proper, and that the secretary
never either gave or directed, or re-
commended any contract or any favor
of any kind to any one OF them. In
deed, he says that it will appear that
it was never mis- habit, in conducting
the business of the Department, to in
terfere with the details of either con-
tracts or prices, leaving that to the
proper officers, who are selected as ex-
perts in these matters, and with whom
it by law belongs.
He pronounces the statement appear
ing in some of the papers to the effect
that the testimony shows that the Cat
tells have paid him large snms Of mou-
ey which they cannot account for, to
BE- entirely false; that, on the contrary,
the truth is, and the testimony al-
ready taken shows that they never
paid to or advanced for him since he
came into the Navy Department any
money which'was not repaid by him,
except the cost of the Monmouth Beach
cottage, the repayment Of which Is ann
ply secured to them.

democrats have committed themselves.
Ii we compare these resolutions with
the New York platform we can form
some conception of the depth and width
OF the yawning chasm that must be-
bridged before Mr.. Tilden can receive
the st. Louis nomination,
Another incident of the Ohio Con-
ventiOn must not be overlook-the
Hon. George II. Pendleton was its
President. 1t was fitting that the
author of the scheme to pay off the
national debt in greenbacks should
preside over an anti-resumption con.
vention. Mr.. Pendleton some years
since drew SS8,000 from the United
States Treasury for his own benefit,
and it was not inappropriate that he
should be the responsible head of this
movement for robbipg public and pri-
vate creditors. Twoda after the Re
form Convention met in New York
and promulgated a code of political
virtue, with intent to impress both
parties with the necessity of mending
their ways, the Democrats of the most
populOus and wealthy State in the
West make George Fl. Pendleton Pres
ident of their State Convention! This
is the answer which the Ohio infiatiOn-
lists make to Mr.. Sehurz's demand for
hard.money and incorruptible virtue.
We knew that there was some high
honor in store for Mr.. Pendleton when
we saw carefully prepared article in
his defence in the New. York World of
recent date. We care nothing for the
evidence or argument that goes to show
that the Central Kentucky Railroad
claim for $l4S, ,QD0 was not fraudulent,
and that Mr.. Pendleton did not bribe
Secretary Belknay to Oader its pay
ment. The claim was repeatedly re-
jected by the War Department, and it
was not until Mr.. PendletOn brought
his personal influence and social pres
tige to bear in the prosecution of the
some that its inherent justice was dis
covered. But whether it was just or
Mr.. PendletOn'S position
in the matter remains the same. He
pOcketed some $S8,000 of the money
himself, another gentleman concerned
in the prosecution of the claim for Sl5,-
900, there is no evidence that the Ken
tucky Central Railroad or its creditors
ever got even the small fragment that
was left sitter these self-appointed at
Iorneys had deducted their fees from
the gross amount collected. We have
never seen any account of a settlement
between Mr.. Pendleton and the corpor-
alton of which he was President, or
with the Bowler heirs, of whom he was
he guard IAN. 1t is true that his nep-
lewS repeatedly declared that theiI
1ncle did not cheat them, but we would
ike to have the OppiniOn of a court of
equity on this point. A large majority

States place Mr.. Pendleton in the same
,ategory with General Belkanp, and
