WARRINGTON, D. O., June 22.-At the
commencement OF the Virginia Episcopal
Theological Seminary, near Washington,
to-day, Bishop Lee, Of Delaware, who
was one Of the American revisers Of the
New Testament, denied the story that The
Americans were not properly treated BY

recognised, and that In many instances
the views and decisions Of the Americans
we're accepted BY the English revisers.
Bishop Lee said the revisers had no apol

done Il faithfully and are satisfied that ii
time the revised New Testament will be
generally accepted by oil the churches.

Both the Ex.SenatOrs.
ALBANY, June 22-Messrs. Conkling
and Plat were both present at stall
wart conference last evening, and the
former addressed the meeting .at some
length. His remarks were mainly directed
TO counseling his hearers to be Gteadtast 70
the party OF true Republican ideas and
principles, and 10 beware oil the corrupt
group OF politicians who are striving TO
destroy that party and lts prestige. He
warned them against the men who are
approaching them with
CORRUPT ESTtcEMFNrs,
aud referred In this connection To the bri.
berry investigation in progress before the
Assembly Committee and the Grand Jury.
He said that It was time that Republicans
should dlsdstn to employ such means TO
accom- mplish any ends as have been EN-.
ployed by the supporters Of Depew.
After dwelling upon the growing power
Of m monopolieS In this country, he spoke Of
various corporate influences that have
been arrayed against the stalwarts. He
said II was inevitably Q severe task 70 aght
against wealth, and more especially was
it difficult 10 do 30 when millions were nn-
sctupulousIy used by corrupt agents. He
thought the time had come for true Re:
publicans 10 put themselves on record
upon this subject, and affirmed that he
has no doubt OF the hnal RESULT ot the
contest between corruption on the. one
hand and honesty Oh the other.
THE PowEa or RAILROAD CORPORATIONS
has grown immensely In the United States,
and Il is mostly TO be feared when II I'M
dsrtakes TO dsbauch sworn Legislators.
Whenever such q state Of affairs Is al
hand there eau bs no doubt Of the duty
Of every true lovet Of bis party and hIS
country. Thls system Of corruption, no
matter by whom cetntenAnCed, should be
exposed, denounced and checked, and on
no account should any be shielded from
the consequence oil such great crime.
Cohkling then alluded 10 some Of the
persons who have been acting % the
leaders ot the hall.bfeeds, and asked II
any honorable gentlemen could for one
moment think Of compromising with such
notorious characters. He drew attention
to the testimony given beiote the Assembly
Bribery Committee, aud commented upon
