GENER1L GRANTS LErTFR.

General Grants letter 10 Senator Jones will
be regretted by all his real friends. Ii is
written from as low a level of personal and fac
tional politics as that occupied by Mr.. COnkling
himself, and is nothing better than hasty,
bungling plea in defence of the old spols
theory-a theory which tho Senate has
Just rcpudiated without division, and
which the Republican masses of the country
strongly condemn. The letter will elcctually
destroy the belief which grew out of General
Grants wise and apparently unselfsh conduct
in the last campaign, that he holds himself
above the contests of factions and the ambitions
and animositics of place-hunters and patronage
mongers He is no longer the distinguished
and patriotic representative Of the whole Re-
publican party he steps down to the position
of an eager and indiscreet partisan of the ele-
ment which failed to nominate him ut Chicago,
ready TO espouse the quarrel of one of its
leaders without reflection or consistency. His
letter cannot fail to strengthen the suspicion
that scheme was formed after the election last
fall to capture the Administration and control
all the powerful political offices for the purpose
of bringing him forward again as a candidate
in 1854 by the same methods which came so
near winning in 1850. The best face that can
be put upon it is TO suppose that 1t is private
letter, written hurredly upon misapprehen-
sion of the facts regarding the late controversy
in Washington. We sincerely hope, III the i'll =
terest of General GrantssIeputation and in
huence, that lac did not authorize Senator Jones
To print it.
The letter opens with complaint that
4nothing has been done by the President to

A large portion of our space is taken UP this
morning with what may he called general
commentary on the Revised Version OF the New
Testament The quaint injunction Of one OF
the collects in the English Prayer Book to
read mark learn and inwardly digest, applies
To the freshly revised with even greater force
than to the authorized version, aud certainly
there could be no better preparation for 4
comprehensive ana exhaustive study OF the
amended text than thi, Introduction. The
change, which have been made in the accepted
version may be- grouped, for the sake
of conycnicnce into three general CLASSES
First those arising from the condition
of the text and mainly from mistakes
and annotatiOus of copyi,ts; secondly, those
due 10 an amended text, the most ancient
manuscripts not having been discovered when
the King james version was published ami
tcXtual criticism being in It's infancy; and
thirdly those required by amended translation
owing to the advance in Biblical scholarship
during two hundred years These general
classes are subdiyidcd and cOpiously illus
trated. so that the dulcst reader will recOg-
nze the magnitude of the labor performed,
even if ne fails to appreciate the painstaklng
care and enlightened scholarship bestowed
upon L.
There are two points to which we direct
special attention, because it is important that
certain erroneous impressions derived from
loose writing in the religious as well rs the
secular press should be corrected. The first Is
that the present work il not so essentially
different from the old version IA To be new
translation. Those who expect to find startling
changes or revolutionary emendatiOns will be
disappointed. II is revision, and not
Translation. Il is purcr, more scholarly and
more settled text, but it is the same Scripture.
Christianity remains unchanged Not Il single
doctrine. of faith Is cloudcd. There are fewer
error. Of man Ia mar the primitive text of the
New Testament but forall practical purposes the
faith of every Christian believer will remain
precisely a, 10 il. The second point on which
Vr wish to lay stress is that the New Icsta-
mont l.. not been unnecessarily modcrnized
..i. old words have been allowed to stand
uI,r,cr th,y remain generally mtchgibl',

never defended or concealed a crime and never
screened or apologzed for a criminal, is fairly
entitled to be called honest But then men
are apt to Judge the character of whole party
from that particular class with whom they as

not to be discontinued.

March, 1865, was appointed by President LIN
coin the first Solicitor and Judge Advocate
General of the Navy Department.
In June, 1865, he was transferred to the
Treasury Department as first Assistant Secre-
tary, and during two years and hall
in that department gave large portion OF his
time to important legal questions arising In
administration. After leaving the department,
in November, 1867, he became counsel for tho
National Life Insurance Company and for the
Washington Market Company, and in W"sh-
ington and New Hampshire has been counsel
for large and important interests and in cases
of Importance, although no has not been In
general Office practice.
The fact that Mr.. Chandler has sustained him
self creditably in every position in which he
has been placed; as State Reporter, Speaker OF
the New Hampshire House of Representatives,
Solicitor of the Navy Department Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury has been twice
elected at the head of the ticket as delegate
to National Conventions of his party; and
been a leading member and officer OF It's
National Committees, would seem to demon
strate that he can discharge with ability
any Office which he may accept. 1t it be
charged that Mr.. Chandler has been engaged
in business before Congress, it may be replied
that he has not been so employed except in q
few instances for respectable and honorable
interests TO be served in ways perfectly legiti-
mate and for the last five years has accepted
no such employment whatever
II, with n record such as this, Mr.. Chandler is
to be rejected by strict party vote in SEN
ate where, by the folly Of two Republicans,
the Democrats have an accidental majority, it
is only fitting that the people should know
what an admirable public servant the country

Among the nominations not yet acted upon

chandler to be- Soliciior-Gcnru We have
never presumed to advise the senate IN
rc,.,rd to matters strictly within it, own dis
erection, and shall not now In relation to this
amendment. But it seems not improper 10 say "a
word to the public at least IN behalf OF gentle
man who has done good deal of distinguished
and valuable service for his country and his party
far which he has been thus far entirely unrc-
cuited. That Democrats should oppose him
for any place Of Importance is not surprising;
bc has shown them and their organization no
fayors and no mercy. But that Republicans
should join with them in opposition to
one of tho most courageous and SELL
sacrificing of the politicians of our par
ty il cause for surprise. In all the
EXCLAMATION and dCnunclatiOn of Mr.. Chandler
which have been so common for years past in
Democratic papers, there has never been n
single allegation Of specific wrOng-doing. He
has been n Republican politician, able and
Jealous in advancing the interests of his party
without fee or reward, and this is the extent
of his offending.
II has sometimes been said that he is not
lawyer Of sufficient standing 10 I'LL the I'M
portant post for which he Is nominated. To
nudge from what he has been doing since his
boyhood it would seem that he would not
fail in the place for which the President
has, without his solicitation, designated him.
MFR. Chandler studied law in Concord, y. H.,
in 1851 and 1852, with Pierce x Minot and
George & Webster; in 1888 and 1854 at the
Harvard Law School, and received the degree
of Ii. b. and also prize on an essay on the

1855, then twenty years old; and had a

The people of New York ought to be
abashed. They have compelled two retirlhH
statesmen of unassuming worth who were
weary of the cares and responsibilities otpub-
lie life to seek a denomination. On the au-
thority of one of their closest political
friends we learn that neither Mr.. Conk-
ling nor Mr. Platt wished to he renomi-
mated. Nothing was further from their
thoughts! They were anxious to retire to
private life and to the rccreatOns of their
vicinage. But the course which affairs have
taken-the attacks which have been made
upon them-conlpcl item to seek vndication.
Against their will they must ask for rcnomi-

self-defcnce they must force the fighting and
