The Revised Old Testament.

Copies of the revised version of the
Old Testament were given to the Eng
lish newspapers last week Friday night.
The Bible appears bound with the New
Testament. The preface opens with a
statement of the general principles on
which the revision has been conducted.
In regard to the word - jehovah" the
usage of the authorized version is fol-
lowed, the revisers not thinking it adj
visable to insert it uniformly in place
of Lord" or God" which, when
printed in small capitals, represent
the words substituted by Jewish GUS
tom for The Ineffable. The word
"grave" Judges vi: 2S) has been re-
placed by ashera," with its plurals,
" asherim" and ashcroft" In the
poetical books Z" sheol replaces
hell" which has been changed in
prose passages to "the grave" and
s. the pit" with sheol" in the mar
gin. "Of these renderings, hell" says
the preface, " if it could be taken in its
original sense as used in the creeds,
would be fairly adequate equivalent
for the Hebrew word, but it is so COM
monty understood.as the place of tor
ment that to employ it frequently would
lead to inevitable Misunderstanding
In Isaiah xiv, where hell " is used in
more of its original sense, the revisers
have left shell" in the text, putting
g sheol " in the margin.
All headings of chapters have been
dropped, as in the revised New Tesla
ment, and the text has been divided
into paragraphs, but the old chapter
and verse divisions have been retained
in the margin for convenience of ref

The unflinching attachment of his friends
These go long way, and he doubtless APP
preciates these more than all else. But they
do not pay him for the time devoted to his
defence; for the great mental worry and the
large amount of money expended in the
trial. He never can nor ever will get fully
paid for these. No amount of money could
do 1t. Now why should Governor Page, or
any other citizen who happens to have a
wealthy personal enemy, be subjected to any
such persecution? Should there not be some
way of preventing such malicious mischief
Should there not be a law assessing heavy
damages upon a party who would dare to
drag a reputable citizen into court and so
utterly fail to substantiate his charges
Should not Mr.. Clement, in justice, be made
to pay damages for all this wrong2 Never
in Vermont was there such an effort made
TO convict any man. Never before was there
so long trial. Never before was there SO
determined an attempt to crush a man in
this state. And never before, 1 am glad to
say, was the chief newspaper of a town
bought up and made to do service in such a
base cause"

On the 18th instant General Middle
ton had so far pushed his advance upon
Batouch, Riel's headquarters and strong
hold, that general attack was ordered,
the rihe-pits carried and the place cap
tured. The Dominion loss was eight
killed and forty-four wounded. Riel
fled, but was captured Friday noon by
scouts. Comparing small things with
great, the Dominion government is in
similar predicament to our own when
jeff. Davis was captured. 1t has some
thing of an elephant on its hands.
Hanging in the one case, as in the other,
might go towards satisfying the demands
of justice, but it would be poor COM
pensation for the lives that have been
sacrificed, the hardships endured and
the property destroyed. So is it in any
case where blood is exacted as the price
of blood.

" to pick out the most obnoxious and
offensive partisans in each county to
the number of a sixth to quarter of
all, and choose frst-class men to take
their places" He {" will require no more
proof of partisanship in these selections
than the affirmation of knowledge on
the part of a representative or senator
that the postmaster has been an active
editor or proprietor of republican
newspaper printing offensive articles,
easily shown by slips; or a stump
speaker, or member of political COM
mittee, or officer of a campaign club, or
organizer of political meetings, or that
his office has been made the headquar-
tiers of political work, or that his clerks
have been put into the performance of
political duties" And as a sort of
blanket provision, if these fail, "possi-
bly, other acts of equal force may be
noted in some cases. /" If the repre-
sentative does not know the facts"
continues Mr.. Villas, it should be es-
tablished by some affidavit of some per-
son whom he can affirm to be of I'M
questioned credibility, or by some doc
umentary evidence" This requirement
of aflidavits that man has had and
advocated political views of his own is
device that may sometime return to
plague the inventor" unless Mr.. Villas
crossroads postmasters, in some future
national canvass, shall avoid political
stumps as they would bear-trap, and
remain immured during the campaign
behind the delivery of their offices,
answering only inquiries for letters and
industriously " licking" stamps in non
partisan devotion to the good of the
country. Mr.. Villas is cautious, also, and
very sly-sly as Joey Bagstock. Speak
ing of the care and trouble it may cause
to follow his recommendations he says
Z" it seems to me reasonable to require
very extraordinary care and trouble
enough to be taken to represent surely
the facts. The earliest removals and
appointments of this kind will chal-
lenge the keenest scrutiny" "Some
mistakes have perhaps occurred" and
as the wicked adversaries of the party
make the most of every fault" eX-
traordinary care" must be taken till
the public attention is transferred to
other subjects. Then, the inference is,
the democratic virtue and patience of
d" our people" shall have their reward
unhampered by any pharisaical restric-
tons. In the publication of this circu-
lar the postmaster-general should feel
as if he had been caught in disreputa-
BILE trick, in an attempt to accomplish
by clandestine means what he had not
the boldness to undertake by open and
honest agencies. With some saving
cant about removals that are " iustifia-
BILE " and appointments that are be-
yond criticism" he is letting down the
bars for the return of the worst abuses
of the spoils system. Handing over to
democratic congressman the matter of
designating the offensive partisans "
to be removed and the men to succeed
them, with the slight cautions imposed,
is like turning wolves into flock of
sheep with injunctions to limit their
appetite to from one-siXth TO one
fourth " of the flock and to choose only
the toughest and most undesirable
mutton

ALIEN OFFICIALS.

Under the head "Alien Officials to Go,
the Gazette, of Burlington, Iowa, in a
timely article, warmly congratulates the
people of the Territories on the ap-
preaching relief from the affection OF
"alien" officials, meaning thereby the
persons sent out from the States to fill
| the Federal offices in the Territories.
| If the writer of the article has not lived
in Territory and suffered from the
evil system, ne has at least made him
self familiar with the practice and un-
derstands thoroughly the custom that
has inflicted upon the helpless colonies
officers who are Objectionable from
whatever point they may be viewed.
As an encouragement, in these times of
distress. a portion of the GG=ette's
article is republished:
Of the Governors and Federal officers
of the eight Territories, with but one or
two exceptions, every one was the resi-
dent of some State when appointed.
Most of them were obsolete and decayed
politicians who could have no possible
resurrection otherwise. Some asked for
and took appointments for the attain
ment of personal ends. But for years
under Republican administration the
Federal offices in the Territories have
| been the refuge of repudiated statesmen
the dead-wood of the party sent out
there for the purpose of giving them
something to do at the expense of the
public Treasury. And thus was done by
- ,-k~
except in one single case, right in the
| National Republican convention that
| the abuse should cease, and that only
citizens of the Territories should be
given the Federal positions therein.
| Precedent and custom have always
placed these officers in the same category
as. the diplomatic and other positions,
subject to- the pleasure of the President.
| They, of course, are not protected by
| the civil service reform law, nor are
| they appointed to any fixed term, not
! falling within the Tenure of Office act.
And, therefore, it is reported that the
President will soon turn his attention to
the execution of the promise made by
| the party in its national platform, and
! nothing will please the people of the
| Territories more than for him to do SO.
An instance of how little, therefore,
the wishes of the people of the Terri
tories have been regarded in Washing
ton with respect to their local offices,
was shown a few days since, when a
gentleman who has been citizen of one
for many wears made application Tor a
Federal office. therein. He presented,
as his indorsers, prominent public
fIom several States. And, when it was
suggested that it would be well for him
to secure some home indorsem ent, he
replied, in great surprise: Why. l
| did not dream that. would be necessary !;
it has never counted for anything"

LESS WHEAT.

The experience of the past two or
three years should teach the farmers
hereabeuts that ii will be to their in
terest to plant less wheat than usual.
and to raise crops that can; find reader
market than that cereal. 1t is probably
true, that at the present time there is
enough wheat in the Territory to bread
the people for five. years. and another
haryestis only four months distant,
when with the ordinary yield the supply
will be doubled. Such large stock is
there on hand that the price has not
materially advanced since harvest. and
practically the supply has been reduced
only by the home consumption. The
farmer who IS out of debt is,
not worried much by full
bins; he can wait until the
market comes; but unfortunately
too many farmers in this Territory owe
for the implements and machinery
with which they have produced their
crops. Had prices been reasonably fair,
the last harvest would have enabled
the majority to meet their obligations.
BIT instead of this their granaries are
crowded, and the wagon and implement
dealers hold their Understanding
notes.
Now the farmers should plant largely
of such things as will be more readily
saleable than wheat. Oats and barley

and both can be shipped at profit to
the neighboring States and Ter
ritories. Certain vegetables are also
of abundant growth, and If they
cannot be sold readily are valuable as
stock feed, and cattle are cash at every
season of the year. If the agricultur-
lists will exerci>e wisdom in the selection
of crops to be grown, they will not, after
the autumn harvest, find themselves
distressingly poor yet surrounded by
plenty.
