New York Tribune: Among the
many reasons demanding Mr.. Conk-

tive temper, which keeps him at enmity
with more than half of the prominent

look over the list. Mr. Conkling for
years did not speak with Charles Sum-
ner; lac parted with Seward; he
quarreled and broke relations with
FessendeB: he vas on i'll terms with,
Trumbull; he was u mortal enemy OF
Grimes; he held no intercourse with
SchurZ; lie openly quarrcled with Elihu
Wsshburne, and ceased to speak to his
two brothers; he broke with Bristow,
and violently abused Attorney General
Hoar and aided in forcing him out Of
Grants cabinet and keeping him off the
Supreme bench. He quarreled vicious
ly with Zach Chandler, and for some
reason begged 10 make it up. These
are few Of the notable enmities that
are scattered along Mr.. Conkling's
peaceful pathway in the past. Al

John Sherman; has openly broken with
Gen. HaWley; is vindictIvc enemy OF
George F. HOar; Quarreled with Gen

London cable dispafches speak Of the
continued unpopularity q the Revised
New Testament in England. Religious
and literary circles there appear to regard
1t with feeling akin to positive hOstil-
ity, and almost the only COMMUNICATION
it receives from the press is based on the
opinion that Il will go far toward dis
pelling the notion that the King James
Bible Is iafAllible. In this country the
reception of the new edition is friendly
II not enthusiastic. and no sect, except
perhaps the Baptisis, who want the word
baptize rendered immerse, has thus far
shown any antagORism toward it. This
marked difference in the sentiment OF
the two English-speaking countries may
be accounted for by tile force OF tradi-
ton and established forms In Great
Britain, and the greater mobility and
liberalIty Of the American mind.
