THE POLITICAL pEMoRAL1zATIoN IN
VIRGINIA.-It is much to be regretted
that the contest in Virginia between debt
payers and readjusters has ceased to be
waged within the proper limits of ordi-
nary political discussion, but has degene-
rated into conflict Of epithets alike dis
creditable to the persons employing them
and prejudicial to the cause they are sup
posed to further. The past history of the
State supplies no parallel TO the present
condition of things. A general hot-head-
edness and decentralization of temper have
succeeded to the tone Characteristic of the
" Mother of States and statesmen Lead.
ing men known hitherto for their modera-
ton and courtesy apply 10 each other on
the rostrum and in the columns OF their
party press the opprobious terms ''liar''
hscoundrel" and coward" and do this
with such reckless disregard Of their
former known opinions Of the persons so
designated that outsiders are led TO ask
each other whether some new form ol
madness has not taken possession of the
politicians of the Old Dominion. Four
duels have already been fought during the
present canvass, not to speak of a perhaps
greater number prevented by the inter.
ference Of officers Of the law.

For nothing else would suit her
To no suit would she listen,

But the lovers soul was daunted
For he felt that what was wanted
Was genteel suit of clothing
In the place Of that he wore.
He looked around but was not suited
And he almost wished the heavens
(Though the shining hat was ON him)
On his aching head might fall:

Were fixed on TOWER HALL

DEATH OF A GOOD NEWS
PAPER MAN.

Stephen N. Stockwell, one of the sue
cessors of Maj. Rogers in the manage
ment of the Boston Journal, died at his
residence in Roxbury Friday, at the age
of 81. He retired a few weeks ago
from active service, and had undoubt-
edly exhausted his vitality in his pro-
fession. Mr.. Stockwell began as COM
positor and passed through all grades
of editorial service. He excelled in
news gathering and that side of journa-
which comes nearest in character to
business. He was much liked by his
associates in the profession for his ami
able and genuine character. He was a
native of Hardwick, and served in both
branches of the state legislature, the
Boston city government, and other pub
lie capacities. He leaves children and
second wife. and had accumulated
quite fortune. The Herald says he

the state. He was man of quick in

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Especial Correspondence ofthe Monitor

New YORK, April, IL, 1881.
The continued cold weather is playing
the very mischief with dealers in spring
goods. They were congratulating them
selves on late Easter and the assurance
of getting rid of an abnormal quantity of
stock; but, in the article of spring over
coats alone, the demand which might
reasonably have been expected has dwin-
died to simply zero. Who wants spring
Overcoat with two snow storms (not large
but large enough to be noted), in the
first week Of April, with promises of
more, and hyperborean winds that seem
to combine the nastiest peculiarities of
January and March weather? Some of the
advertisements of the nobby garments
evolved from the cultivated inner con-
seriousness of our fashionable clothiers
are positively touching; but, heartrend-
ing as it may seem, their tempting offers
are most cruelty sighted. Spring over
coats are drug in the market and eco
nomical persons, with an eye to the fact
that fall comes after summer, may do
worse than invest at once at present re-
duced prices.

TAKING THE LIsT.-As far as heard
from, the work of the listers throughout
the state is proceeding very satisfacto-
rily, and as general thing taxpayers
are reported as facing the music in
manly fashion. Public sentiment
strongly supports the general principles
of the law, however it may be criticised
in some of its minor and unimportant
details. The Retornaer says Brattleboro
shows very large increase in its list,
in one instance, a mali returning $lO,-

poll tax. The Free Press says from
present indications the increase IN taxa
BILE personal property will be immense
in Burlington. In Wells River and
Bradford the listers resigned and new
boards were chosen. In some localities
the appraisal of real estate will be
largely increased, and liz others it will
not be materially changed. Instances
are given of individuals refusing tc
make out their inventories, and, as was
to be expected, special cases of effort;

Rev. DR.. Phillip Schaff is authority
for the statement that there was differ
ence of opinion between the English and
American companies of revsers of the
New Testament as to the use of modern
words for the archaic words which char
acterizes old version, the English revis-
ers being anxious to retain them as far
as possible. as help to the success Of
the work. The English did not wish
to admit the American suggestions, and
the Americans were unwilling that they
should be omitted. The matter was
finally compromised by Incorporating
the American revisions in dozen pages
of appendix. DR.. Schaff expects to see
the revised New Testament accepted by
all but the most narrow-minded persons,
in the course of five years, and the his
tory of the present translation gives
ground for the belief. The acceptance
will probably be greatly helped by a
work now in preparation in England,
giving an account of the debates of the
committees and the arguments put forth
in favor of or against the changes
adopted, as we'll as information as to
the reasons why other changes. were not
received. Dr. Schaff admits that the
work has been done between two fires,
the radicals being in favor of sweeping
changes. and the conservatives hardly
daring to change a comma.

THE SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.

Ed. Monitor As an article appeared in your paper

allow them do so, it is quite time such laws

SENATOR MORRILL,.

Tall of statute, and high in esteem
stands, in the senate chamber of the
United States, Hon. Justin S. Morrill,,
from Vermont First to urge the claims
of others. last to accept his own dues,
his emolnment has come to him gradu-
ally, and not favoring lobbyists, no
riches have been placed to his account
as the price of trucking.
Mr.. Morrill, was born IN the billy
town of STAFFORD, Orange county, VT,
April IA, 1910. His father was we'll
to-do-farmer. With strong home in
stincts, he believed Vermont a good
place to live, and settled down in his
own country vale, on STAFFORD Branch.
engaged first as ''store-keeper" or gen.
eral merchant; but, though keeping
his business straight by strict economy,
he was too honest to make fortune by
barter trade, and resumed the, to him,
more agreeable and profitable pursuit of
agriculture. He was originator of the
Morrill, horses, breed widely celebrat-
ed for its adaptation to country wants,
being of good form, hardy habits, gen.
tie mood, strong frame, and fair speed.
An universal confidence in his integrity
and judgment advanced him to the ma
tional capital as a representative of the
thirty-fourth congress, 1876, to which
office he was consecutively five times re-
elected by large majority in excess Of
his ticket.
March 4, 1867, he took high seat
in the senate, to succeed L. P. Poland
and is now holding his third senatorial
term, honoring that somewhat equivo
cal body by his sedate presence, anc
honest, progressive purpose. To him Ii
due credit for the homestead and boun
ty laws, and the agricultural colleg
system, the abuse of which in SOM
states he is now striving to remedy b.
asking for the passing of a bill provid
ing industrial schools of more practica
pattern, and the qualifying of requisit

, committees on finance, education an
labor. the census, buildings and ground:
= and on the accommodation of the COZ

Upon his Vermont farm, he sever;

The famous, or Infamous, Captain Boy
colt, whose treatment of the tenants of
the estates in Ireland over which he was
managing agent led to the invention of
new word for the old practice Of ostra
cism, has appeared among US. Why he
should come here of all places in the
world is mystery, for here he will find
many thousands of bitter enemies, per-

maltreated l should be surprised if he
managed to return quite safe home.
We have had regular old-fashioned
knock-down and drag-out meeting in the
harbor, in the style of the rackets in
vogue in the good old days of the Black
Ball liners. Seamen are scarce, it seems,
and the Jacks have been getting as much
as $50 advance for long voyages, and in
many cases, with the connivance of
boarding house runners and other land
sharks, have jumped their contracts and
reshipped elsewhere, the said landsharks,
of course, coming in for the bulk of the
plumber. A gang of this class made
things warm in the good ship Aurora, the
other day, bound for Valparaiso, but this
skipper was an old Blackballer, and was
up to their tricks. He went on shore to
an old pal, now ship chandler, and the
two, with a crew of Stalwart Triggers and
longshoremen, took the ship out to sea,
then ordered the crew to turn to. They
refused, and the captain proceeded to
make them. Tearing off the skylight OF
the forecastle, he fired down among the
recalcitrant tars, and hunted them out.
Then came a fight, in which one long
shoreman was stabbed by a Chilean; but
the mutineers were dubbed into submits
sion, and the good ship filled away, will
the wolves reduced to the meekness o.
: lambs. The longshoreman went to hos
