THE cable brings the intelligence
that the London Standard has critics.
cd and denounced the revision of the
Bible in bitter terms, and its editorial
is considered the FIRST really striking
opinion published. The following are
given rs the main points:
"whatever the schools may think of the
tabors Of the revisers, the impression pro-
ducea upon the public mind is one of dis
appointment and dissatisfaction. 1t is
deeply to be regretted the revisers have
apparently forgotten the condition under
which the task vas entrusted to them.
1t is obvious that q great many of the
alterations adopted have bean approved
for reasons Of mere literary criticism,
which make US rather sceptical as to the
infallibility or even good taste OF the
revisers. One word has been substitu ted
for another, at the within of the new
Testament Company. Even the Lord s
prayer, which every child learns TO lisp
at its mothers knee, has not been spared
The revisers have handled it as n Com
mentator might handle the notoriously
corrupt chorus in 'Eumenides' or the
'Vacchae.' St. Paurs praise Of charity is
mangled and made irrecognizable by the
senseless substitution Of the word Love
<or Charity.

tive observation:
"As the first cost Of electric railways

STANLEY Matthews ought to love Ken
lucky. Most Of the local bar associations,
che Court of Appeals, and all our public
men, notably Williams, Stevenson, Car
Isle, Preston, Oscar Turner and Proctor

not forget Kentucky"

MANY Kentucky papers are loud in
condemnation of Senator Beck for his
vote confirming Stanley Matthews, and
want him defeated for United States
Senator. We think Beck too able a
man, and too strong a man, to cast
aside for this. Kentucky has too
many causes to feel proud of him.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.- The Democratic
leaders are watching the situation at AL
bany closely, with view of getting one
Senator if possible. If that cannot be
done the Dem ocratic members of the New
York Legislature will unite with the Stall
warts for Conkling. Dispatches received
here by prominent Democrats from party
leaders in New York indicate this policy,
and it meets with general Democratic ap-
prevail here on the ground that the Demo-
Gratis should assist to send Conkling back
to continue his opposition to the Admins
tration.
Several prominent Administration Re-
publicans of New York, who have been
here watching events, leave tonight for
Albany. They spent some time with Sec y
Blaine this morning, and got the views
and policy of the Administration in re-
gard to the New York Senatorial election.
The Administration is DESTROYS of having
two Republican Senators in the place of
Conkling and Plat who will be in har-
mony with the Administration, and it lie
understood this is what Secretary Blaine
stated so day, together with advice as TO
the Senatorial election.
ORGAN OF HALFBREEDs.
The Express Albany special says: There
is ne question that the half-breeds have
the victory in their own hands if they
can utilize it. The leaders, while they
are shrewd, careful men in many respects,
are by no means equal to those on the
other side in wire-pulling and political
trickery, and in holding on to and max
ing the best use of every slight advant-
age. One thing is absolutely certain,
that no compromiss will be effected which
will bring about the return OF either
Conkling or Plat to the Senate. An eff
fort, l understand, will be made to induce
the stalwart leader to come here and di-
rect the fight in person. This will no
doubt be done if Conkling intends not TO
return to the Senate, and will consider
ably strengthen his followers. If he
should come to force his reelection, he
can accomplish nothing; for, as said be-
fore, by no system of manipulation can
it be accomplished.

HOUSE.

Washington, %. - Continuing
Tuesdays session, the House went
into committee on the civil bill, but
without action rose.
Cobb reported back the District of
Columbia bill with an amendment
recommending concurrence in some
and non-cOncurrenice in other Senate
amendments.
Blackburn reported back the
pOstOfice appropriation bill with
the Senate amendments, recommends
ing concurrence in some and nom
concurrence in others. Agreed to.
Cox called up unfinished business
the apportiOnment bill.
Conger reported the sundry civil
bill and then fillibustered.
Frye explained that republicans
were unable to have a conference
asst night as intended. and were not
ready to decide on the apportion-
ment bill.
Cox said he would trust to the
honor of republicans if the latter
would not fillibuster after a confer
ence was held.
Conger and Frye said they had
not needed the last remark and
would make no agreements.
Cox then said he would call up the
bill tomorrow.
The House then went into COM
mittee on the Sundry civil bill.
Bragg and Blackburn engaged in
a discussion, an ill-natuTed one, on
the side of Blackburn, as to whether
it was in order to appropriate $780,
600 for the purchase of the private
papers of the late confederates Polk
and Bragg, relating to the rebellion.
McCOok. in the course of a rum
ming debate, freely participated in
by both sides, said the time had
come, or would soon come, when, as
an American citizen, without saying
a word in regard to the case, he
could have as much pride in the
pluck and determination of the Con-
federates as in the sturdy courage
of the northern soldiers. (Applause.)
Nevertheless, this appropriation
was carrying the sentiment too far,
for the papers were worthless.
Bragg and Blackburn had another
bout at this point, in which each ac-
cused the other of false statements.
Bragg was heartily applauded by
-he republicans. and created much
amusement by saying that piteous |
pleas were entered for widows and
orphans, but when the appropriation
passed it was found the widows and
orphans had pants and boots and |
money enough enough to stay win
.er in Washington.
Blackburn expressed heartfelt |
'egret at the tearing open by hyena
hands of the gaping wounds that
line seemed to heal.
Finally, after amending the bill
" making it include the papers of
Ill principal generals of the rebel
ion, the entire paragraph was
stricken out.
The committee then rose, and the
louise took a recess till evening.

TERRIBLE FIRE.
Eight Persons Burned TO a
CrisD.

Pittsburg, 23.-Intelligence has
been received here of terrible con-
| Migration at East Liverpool, this
morning at 30 o'clock, by which a
family of eight person, named Sloan,
were burned to death. About the
time stated DANES were seen issu-
ing from four-story frame build
ing, owned by Frank Stewart and
occupied as drug store, feed store,
grocery and dwelling, the proprietor
of the drug store, Mr.. Sloan, with
his family living in the latter por-
ton. As soon as the flames were
discovered by Mr.. Sloan, he awOke
all, and telling them to follow. picked
up a 3-year-Old daughter and started
for the stairs. The flames had cut off
their retreat by this time. however.
and turning to window he leaped
out, at the same telling his wife and
children to do the same. 1t is sup
posed that before they had time to
follow his advice they were over
come by the sitting fumes from the
drug store, as no others escaped. The
building burned like finder, and
having numerous elevators to the
upper floors, which opened a path
way for the flames, was soon in
ruins. Search for bodies was begun
at an early hour this morning, and
soon all were recovered. They were
charred beyond recognition, and it
was only by the size of the
remains that grown persons were
distinguished from children. The
scene about the burned building, to-
day, is sOrrOwful in the extreme.
All that is left of a family of ten
are the father and one daughter
whom he carried with him when
he made the leap. Following
is a list of those who persisted:
Mrs. VIM. Sloan, aged 81 years;
Luella Sloan aged 10 years
Clyde Sloan, aged II; Lizzie Sloan,
aged II; Alex. Sloan, aged 9; Paul
Sloan, aged 5; another aged 10
and Wilbur Skeets, a
brother-in-law of the unfortunate
woman. The fire started in the
drug store, and is supposed to have
been incendiary. The loss will
reach $4,000, which is partially in

What Pistt Thinks.

New York, 23.-The new Senator
Platt, thinks both friends and enc,
mics of Senator Conkling will be
taken care of. General Garfield will
try, by his appointments, to harmo-
niZe the differences which have ex.
listed in the republican party in this
state. Senator Robertson, he
thinks, Will be sent on a foreign
mission. As to the announcement
that Postmaster James will be
made postmaster general, Platt says
the statement is premature. He
does not think it probable. While
the New York postmaster is friend
ly with Senator COnkling, he is not
the latter's first choice for cabinet
position.

low libertine's removal was long. ear
nest, loud and general, bat no heed
was given il. The governors friend
was q member of the cabinet, and
our sister territory has been unable &c
rid itself OF the official lecher. hu,
is compelled to endure him, people
barring their doors until such time as
there is a change in the Administra-
ton. This is but oneof many prom
inent instances of q shameful i'm
position upon the people OF the terri
to:ies. 1t is IN illustration OF
one OF the causes of unpleasantness
between the citizens of the territory
and The federal appointees. Another
reason for the lack of harmony is that
the people feel and know they have
among them men better qualified to
perform the duties OF the respective
offices, than those sent to them from
abroad. 1t is the rule and not the
exception that the federal officials
have no other interest in the territory
or the people than the obtaining Of
the salary. OF course. this remark
is made upon the very broad and
questionable proposition that federal
officers are all honest and incapable
of making" money illegitimately.
They are unacquainted with the pee
pie, and usually. ct the expiration of
their terms, go elsewhere TO make
homes, caring nothing Tor the territory
10 which they he'd Office. Now and
then one will become attached to the
country and remain, but the class OF
men sent to the territories ss officials
by politicians are not the kind 10 be-
come interested in the development,
growth and progress OF the depend
ency and its people; and. in e good
many cases, they manage to make
themselves 60 obnoxious to the COM
munity that they are glad to get
away as econ as the pay ceases. The
people ought not to blame the
territorial citizens if the latter are
not always pleased with the men sent
to administer governmental affairs for
them. The former ought rather to
abolish the territorial system, and
replace it by something republican.
