In the COnvOeatiOn In London, the
Bishop of Winchester offered the fol-
lowing resolution:


fThat a committee of both houses
be appointed, with power TO confer
with any committee that may be APP
pointed by the COnvOcatiOn of the
Northern Province, TO report upon
the desirableness of a revision Of the
authorized version of the Old and
New Testaments, whether by maTgi-
nal notes or otherwise, in all those
passages where plain and clear errors,
whether ia the Hebrew or Greek text,
originally adopted by the transiatOrs,
or in the translatiORs made from the
same, shall, on due investigation, be
found to exist"


The Bishop, in offering this resOlu-
ton, said that everybody who studied
the matter knew that there were in
their present volume parts Of itwhich
did really not belong to the Inspired
Record; therefore, he believed IL was
the duty of the Church to remedy
these errors.


The Bishop of st. David's said he
was not without fear that this reSOlu-
ton, If carried, would involve the ne
eessity of constant revision Of the
Scriptures, and for this he was by no
means prepared. He did not believe
that any alteration in the grammatical
or verbal construction of the New Tes-
lament would in any way affect the
doctrine which the Church of England
now held. He believed it would be a
great advantage, both to the public
and private reading of the English
Church, if iudiciOus revision were
made. Such u revision would, no
doubt, alter in very material respects
the face of the Holy Scriptures; but
that ought to be no reason why they
should abstain from revision il, by
such revision, they could secure
a more faithful representation OF
Scripture than they had hitherto hat.


The Bishop of LlandaH said ne
thoupht the resolution should apply
to the Old as well rs the New Testa-
ment. AS originally proposed by
the Bishop OF Winchester, 1t applied
only to the New.


The Bishop of st. David's said he
thought it was intended TO apply to
the whole of the Scriptures.


The Bishop of Winchester said that
to begin with one was his principle.


After some remarks rom the Bishop
of Salisbury, the Bishop OF Exeter,
and other prelates, the motion pro-
vidiDg for an inquiry into both the
Old and New Testament5 was unanl-
mOusly agreed to.

An ARREsT.-A cabin thief made his appear
ance in this basin the first of this week and
forthwith began plying his vocation most indus
triously. Last Thursday afternoon the fellow
came to grief. He was first noticed about town
on Tuesday. Wednesday Cornells cabin was
ransacked Thursday morning he went to
Junction City and in passing broke John Stat
tery's cabin and took his watch and chain re-
turning the same day he entered the house of
Williams & Robinson on school-house hill steal
ing a watch and chain belonging to Williams.
Avoiding the town he passed on to East Weaver,
and being attracted by the appearance of SIKH
Fcleys dwelling, made thorough search of the
premises and appropriated the loose change in
Skibs Sunday pants, finding forty-six dollars
three bits. By this time the community were
pretty well aroused Slattery came to town and
notified the officers of his loss Immediately, and
suspicion tell at once on the right party. Late
in the afternoon Sheriff jackson heard that he
had been seen upon East Weaver and immedi-
ately started for him, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff McWhater As luck would have it they
rode right on the fellow walking down the road





and brought him in town. Slatterv's chain and
Williams watch and chain were found on him
and some gold and silver coin, which it is
thought once belonged to SIKH, the number and
size of the coin corresponding to those lost by
him. Sattery's watch was missing. He had
also in his possession gold shawl shirt pin
set with stones, and probably belonging to some
one else. From the time of his arrest the pris-
oner appeared to be insane, and if in his proper
senses simulated insanity with great shrewdness.
lie made no violent demonstration, but when in
duced to speak did so in the most incoherent
and idiotic manner. An examination by DR..
Montague that evening disclosed the fact that
the culprit was at least laborng under high
state of excitement, the pulse being at the rate
of one hundred and thirty per minute. No Grim
inal examination was had for that reason. After
there has been time for him to cool down an in
quiry will be made as to which of our State
institutions is the most suitable for him Stock

The Bark Commerce Rum Into by the Sound


steamboat Bristol-she il TOwed to the


Jersey Flats and GrOundcd-Pumped Out


aud Cargo Discharged.


The recklessness OF some Of the Sound steamers,
or rather OF their officers, lying on the North river,
in leaving their piers and stcaming almost at full
speed around the city, where its encrcng waters
are covered with every conceivable char
acter OF vessel has arrived at such q
pitch that legislation is needed at once
to prevent further 0urages by these men. The last
in point fully illustrates the little taken by
them at such times and how readily they run down
any unfortunate sailing craft that may happen to be
for q moment In their course.

The Hon b. GRATz Brown, the indcpen.
dent candidate for Governor OF Missouri
and one OF the ablest men in the country, in
his recent speech at St. Joseph, threw down
the gauge Of battle at the feet of Gen.
GRANT for presuning to interfere with the
local elect ions of that State by removing
from Office those who dared to express opin-
IONS Of tleir own on homo affairs. Mr..
BRowN, who was one Of the founders of the
Republican party, hurled defiance nt the
President for meddling in this manner with
what does not concern him and he took no
pains to disguise his contempt for the incon.
siderable person who, though not even a
third rate politi, an, nor statesman of any
grade is assuming to dictate to the people Of
Missouri for whom they shall vote for mere
State officers.


This is one of the most stunning blows
yet dealt at Gen GRANT for his oilicious in.
termeddlng with matters in which the prcsi-
dent of the United States has no right to
interfere, ind which at all events, lie far be.

There are but few inye tons or discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, a year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded indication of in
sanity But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes,
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surpositon has no
foundation in fact and is contradicted by the ex-
perienee of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
