The White House.

The process of renovation Mt the White
House, which was interrupted by the death
of the President, was resumed to-day. A
large force of artisans and laborcrs are at
work. Everything is being overhaulcd
and cleansed. The carpets and furniture
which had been removed, and which were
hastily replaced in anticipation of President
Arthur's taking possession, were removed
again to-day in order to allow the compile
ton of the repairs and improvements con-
tcmplated. The central chandelier in the
East room, which was taken down
when it was thought the late President
would lie in state in that room, was again
put in place to-day. The entire building,
with the exception of the portion occupied
as offices, is being renovated. The placard
Closed" at the main entrance, has been
taken away, but the building being all
upside down is just rs much closed to the
public rs ever.
The indications are that the President
will not take possession of the House rs u
residence for month ut least. The Office
part of it, including the Cabinet room, is
in as good condition as ever, and could be
utilized by him at once. The President
has not been at the House since his inaugu-
ration, and it is not known when he will
make his first visit. Hardly before his
return from New York, at any rate.
He will probably pay short visit to New
York the latter part of the week, and may
make his official headquarters at the
White House OH his return. Official bust
ness is, however, conducted at tho White
House us usual, the Presidents commune
cations being brought by messengers from
his apartments in Senator Jones' residence.
No official papers have been signed since
Saturday morning.

The Rev. DIR. Philip Schafr, VINO was
one Of the American Committee on the Revision
Of the New Testament, said to New York re-
porter, the other day, on this subject: The
changes are 30 many that scarcely verse in
the New Testament remains unatered. We
have worked between two ires--the Radicals
wanting far more sweeping changes than we
would sanction, and the other party rolling
their eyes in horror when a comma was trans
posed or small letter replaced by a capital. The
controversy will probably 60 on for a few years.
The New Testament win be sold in England
Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the United
States on the Goth of next May. The stories
that large numbers Of books are now in this
country under lock and key are false, the re-
visers only having received copies. Only sub
scribers will receive copies at first, and the
price to the public will be S1O. 1t is understood
that, within forty-eight hours of the appear
Rnce of the English copies upon the market.
reprints will appear from six New York pub
fishers, the prices of some of the editions to be
az low as Is cents.
The stockholders Of the Pullman Pal
ace-Car Company have voted to increase the

The United States Supreme Court has
reversed the decision OF the Supreme Court of
Utah, which found Miles, the Mormon, guilty
of bgamy. Tho latter tribunal made an error
in admitting the testimony of Miles second
wife in relation TO his first marriage whereas a
Utah law bars a wife from teshfying against
her husband, or q husband against his wife.
Nearly all authorities agree that, 80 long as the
fact of the first marriage Is contested, the sec
ond wife cannot be admitted to prove it. The
case is remanded for new trial.
