The Morey Letter Once More.

| CHICAGO, March I0.--The Tribune'x
Washington special says: Abram s. Hewitt
has written Marshal Jewell the following
curious letter anent the almost forgotten
Morey forgery case, but although little has
been heard Of la;e In regard to the Morey
letter those interested In the investigation Of
the conspiracy and forgery have never for !
moment relaxed their efforts to discover The
guilty actors. These attempts have ct last
been crowned with success, and information
has reached Washington which justiiies the
statement the public win soon be made &C.
quainted with the full history Of the Morey
forgery. 1t can also be confidently stated
that members Of the National Committee
will stand before the country IS parficeps

JAMES w. SIMoSros, general agent of the
Associated Press, lectured i'm Philadelphia

same object of getting the best and freshest
news. A wire on the platform connected The
instrument with the Western Union lines
and dispatches were received from all quarters
Of the globe. Simonton spoke of the per-
soIiai association of the press, answering va
rious complaints against 1t. There could be
no partizanship In Its views, he said, as its
membership embraced men Of all shades of
views, and editors who received news are
free to alter, revise or leave out as they see
tit. He derided the idea that Jay Gould or
any other individual or set of individuals
could, even If they so desired, control the
Associated Press. In conclusion, Simonton
spoke Of the blessing the Association had
proven itself as mighty force In the civil
lied world. He referred to the prodigious
labors connected with the reception and
handling of the news, and gracefully closea
his lecture by introducing a picture Of
weary news editor receiving from the Associ-

FRED. DOUGLASS is to have foreign mis-
sion according to telegraphic reports. A
Washington dispatch says: An intimate
friend of the President said to-day he would
probably tender Douglass mission instead
of the Marshalship Of the district. The col
ored question has been serious one. Du-
ring the administration of Douglass under
Hayes 1t was said at all times 70 have made
the situation unpleasant Cor all concerned.
The Marshal here is in measure part of
the Presidents household, and i'm the capac-
ity Of an equal, while many who had been
used to meeting persons in the same position
as Mr.. Douglass only In the capacity Of ser
wants have not been pleased. In Washing
ton more than almost any other place, preju-
dice of race fingers and 1t is thought more
congenial place can be found for the present
Marshal In the mission to Brazil, where num-
bers Of colored men hold high official posi-
tons, and the place is one of the most de-
sirable in the gift Of the government. Hdrl-
but. of Illinois, is said to be working for the
mission.

We quote All this Is so utterly foreign to
the work and purpose, and so at variance
with the real state Of the case, that 1t becomes
duty to dispel misapprehcnsion on the sub
Jet. There has never been any reason to
doubt the integrity of those to whom the i'm
portant work Of collecting, or arranging, or
classifying The Scriptures Of the Old and New
Testaments has been delegated. But there
have been enormous difficulties In the way
OF getting at the originals and comparing
translations with the original text. The first
English translations were made contempora-
~ with Shakespeare, and nothing can excel
The beauty and majesty Of the language In
which the thoughts are conveyed, the SPLEEN
dor Of the diction or the grandeur Of the POI
etic imagery.

Much has been said of late In regard to
this anew" Bible which is to come out Of
the work Of revision now fast approaching
completion at the hands of some of the most
distinguished Protestant clergy In this coun-
try and in England. An idea has obtained
that there was some ground for the hopes and
objections which have been raised of late
years and that this revision Is t. smooth
things, and adapt the Bible to modern ideas,
without much regard to Its integrity or the
exactness Of Its relation TO the ..old" Bible
the Bible Of many hopes and prayers.

The present work has been In progress ten
years. All sects are represented In the near
ly eighty divines who are at work, and who
must agree upon every doubtful point before
it is admitted, including Unitarians and
Quakers. When completed it will be more
truly the 4" Old Bible than ever, for the er-
rors which have crept into the modern ver-
sions will be eliminated, aud it will be more
truly the Word Of God as delivered to true
believers than before, and stronger weapon
in the hands Of the ministry, because secure
from criticism. As TO the amount of change
those who are expecting to see great differ
ence between the new Bible and the old,will
be more disappointed than those who hope
there will be very little

THE REVISED BIBLE.

A commission has been some months at
work on, and in May next promise to issue
to the occasional readers Of Holy Writ; to
the editor who keeps it for reference for the
lettering Of his spiritual nature, or the con-
founding of contemporaries In irreligious ut
terances; to the iniidel that lie may glory in
the fact that errors exist; to all creeds, sys-
TENS Of opinions, or ways of thinking; to the
unregenerate class of mankind that from il
they may be convinced, convicted and con-
verted In different way, the revised Bible.

corded by finite human Instruments, 20 their
preservation has been entrusted to human
fidelity In accordance with that great law OF
our religious life, that 1t II lefl for man in his
subordinate sphere 70 cooperate with God.
Nor have men been wanting In the faithful
endeavor to preserve the records Of Divine
revelation unimpaired. Yet with the very
means of preservation came In the possibili-
ty of variations and errors-a liability which
has not been completely obvisted even by
the invention Of printing. II Is not likely
that any two editions of our English Bible
to-day, or the Bible in other languages. are
entirely alike in every letter aud mark of
punctuation. In spite Of the greatest care
and wafchfulness curious and sometimes
even shocking misprints have on various oc-
casions crept in. The danger Of such varia-
tions, however, was undoubtedly vastly less
In the case of the New Testament than in
that of any purely human composition. The
sacred text has always been regarded with
reverence which Is calculated to inspire a
copyist with a profound sense of his respon-
sibility and very great care was taken in
the comparison and revision of copies, a
work often entrusted to adifierent hand from
that of the transeriber. Notwithstanding all
this care, however. variations and errors
crept in to the amount of no less 10000. At
first hearing this number startles us. We
almost tremble for our precious inheritance.
A little examination, however, reduces its
terrors. Ninety -nine in hundred-uay we
perhaps may say nine thousand, one hun
dred and ninety-nlne in ten thousand, are
practically of no importance as involving any
point Of faith or practice

To modernizc 1.-THE noble simplicity OF
the style would be to destroy 1t, and no
lover Of the Bible would endure the sacri-
lege for moment. II would no longer be the
Bible. But, on the other hand, there has
never been the slightest desire to impair In
any way style, which, as well as the mat
ter, Is accepted as sacred, and which appeals
to the most ignoran: as we'll as the most
learned understanding. 1t Is also pictur-
esque as well rs strong, and If not always

Cleveland papers publish the following q to
his savings: The aggregate o. his salary for
four years was $4,000. Had Congress re-
funded $1,000 he paid for expenses Of visiting
statesmen to Louisiana, his savings would
have been $4,000; as IL Is, he went out of
Office with SOD, 900, to be carried from his Az
count as President to the benefit of his ac-
count a. private citizen. When he became
President he was burdened with debts to
the amount of 100000, mostly on account Of
requests charged upon him by the Richards
estate. OF this amount he has paid s60, 900
out of his savings from his Presidential sala
ary, so that the net available result In cash
Of his Presidential term Is $4,000.
EADs' great ship railway, to extend from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific ocean, is one of
the novelties of the age. Mum L. Co., New

ends of the road, with a man-of-war just en-
tering on the passage across the isthmus, q
merchant vessel In fransita overthe railway,
map diagrams, etc. The same publication
also shows novel hydraulic railway locomo-
tive, consisting of car propelled by water

THE remarkable electric light manufac-
tured in Cleveland, Ohio, by the Brush Com
pany, to order for use i'm the British NaSyy
and successfully tested recently, has one
hundred thousand candle illuminating pow
err, is fifty times greater than ordinary cleo
tric lamps for street lighting and is believed
to be the largest and most powerful light
ever made with hands. 1t is designed to be
used in night attacks aud TO scrutinize the
sea for torpedoes. A forty horsepower ell
CINE Is required to produce the light. The
carbon points are two and a half inches
thick. The intensity of the heat generated
between the carbon points is half million
egrees-one-nin of the estimated heat

so powerful that person fifteen miles away
can see to read by it.
