If Republicans in Virginia are put in
the position of being allies of regulators
now can they expect to hold Ohio and
Indiana, when the financial issues again
become dominant in those clangeable
Stateso 1t cannot be denied. for instance.
that Ohio has been carried again and
again by the Republicans. because they
made Il clear, clean and able fight for
sound principles OF finance. On this is
sue courage, fidelity and hard work have
repeatedly turned the votes OF thousands
of conservative men to the Republican
side. 1t was TINS that Noyes was once
elected Governor and Hayes three times.
All the varied phases OF dishonest tinan-
cial policy were aggregated in the Dem

and each Republican victory gave the
party fresh courage everywhere else and
enchanced the value of every dollar of

THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT

Among the many subjects which are
now presenting themselves to the atten-
ton Of journalists in America and Eng
land, and which demand not only the
most careful consideration, but degree
of knowledge not possessed by most. the
revision of the New Testament is one of
paramount Importance. 1t is not a sub
ject to be approached lightly, and by the
lay critic it should be approached only on
its literary side, and there with 4 mod
esty and a learning not common with lay
criticism. If the English that we speak
and write to-day were the English that
was spoken and written by Shakespeare
and Milton, the task would be less diff
cult, but unfortunately it is not the same
English. 1t is a more copious speech
that we use, but it has parted with its
simplicity and freshness, tile downright
earnestness that went straight to its mark
without wasting words. Monosyliables
have lost the value they once had, ex-
cept perhaps among readers OF Eliza

THE MARYLAND APPOINTMENT

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Herald, under date of the 25th
instant, says: Another delegation of
Marylanders was here to-day, consisting
Of DR.. Mudd. sydney NIudd and DR.. F.
NJ. Lancaster, Of Charles county. and Dr..
Tuck. of Anne Arundel. They called
on Secretary Window, and laid before
that official an elaborate argument in
tended to prove conclusively that the
best interests Of the country, the State
and the Republican party require that
DR.. Mudd should he appointed Collector
Of Customs at Baltimore. The Secretary,
however, declined to order the change
without consideration.
You may set this down rs :. fact: That
the President and Secretary of the Treas
urv have discussed Maryland very fully.
and that they have determined to take
up the matter just rs soon as they can
find time to do so without regard to the
date of the expiration Of commissions.
Furthermore, when the matter is con-
| silcred it will be thoroughly haudled
and understood in all its details. and the
whole business will be disposed of
| promptly and with a view to cleaning it
up so that there may he no further a9ita-
tion of the subject and no necessity for
repeated pilsrimages by Maryland dele
cations. The appointments will be made
with view to putting the Republican
party in the State on its feet and satisfy
| ing the great mass of its voters, SO that
| it may enter the Fall campaign free Of all
! entanglements, and without leaving for
! aspirants to Federal offices any incentive
| to secure the defeat of the candidates
| for State and county offices who may be
unfavorable to them. This is the posi-
| ton taken by the administration, and
may be relied upon.

CROSSING THE CONTINENT.

How many OF the 60, 900 people who
viii cross the Atlantic this Summer for
vacation i'll Europe have ever crossed our
own continent? Some one who is able to
do it should set the fashion of going be-
yond the Rocky Mountains for pleasure.
It ought to be considered an uufashiona-
bic. as well y, an unsensible thing, for
person to take 4 pleasure trip abroad
without having visited the natural Won
dars Of our own country. A party of 1870

Waving the question OF scholarship rs
one which does not concern Us, we think
the publication of the revised version of
the New Testament al important literary
event, and one which will give rise to Il
literature of its own. We do not believe
that it will be speedily adopted, though
it will be widely read and compared with
the old version, critically by Greek schol-
ars, theolosically by members of differ
ent religious sccts, and curiously by all
lovers Of the English language. We be-
lieNe it will provoke more comment i'll

On Tuesday evening the steamboat Flf-

city and Woodland Cemetery, Woodland
Park, Woods Dock, and Spring Bank,
caFsized on her return trip. It is be
lieved that at least is0 persons were
drowned. but at this hour it is impoSsi-
bic to get full particulars.
The Iietori" left Spring Bank about 6
P. NJ, with about 100 men, women. and
children on board. This was her first
day $ work this season. She was an old
boat, but her machinery was repaired
this spring, and her trial trip the day be-
fore was performed to the entire satsfac-
tion of Mr.. Parish. the manager of the
line. She was due here at $50 p. NJ.
