While everybody is rejoicing over Conkling’s defeat by the President, it may be well to stop, think a little, and be sure that it is the best thing that could have happened for the Democratic party. The Quitman Free Press state that Miss Annie Norris met with a pain fuljiccident on Thursday morning last. While handing a pistol she let it fall to the flo or, and it fired, the ball en tering her foot. While two men were digging a drain near Lissycasey, between Kil rush and Ennis, in Ireland, on May 11, they came upon an iron-clasped chest of large dimensions, lying on which was a large sword. The box was found to be full of gold coins of ancient date. On the sword was engraved the word“O Neill.” One of the queer reflection touch ing the grent theological events of the clay is in regard to the millions of people who do not quiet know yet whether they believe in and accept the new version of the New Testament, or whether they arc to stick to the old. Some of them have not yet heard de finitely from their pastors, or synods, or conventions, and so canncrt really say what they think. Some may have to wait months ar years before they can know definitely which New Tes tament to .use. All the major planets of the solar system,except Uranus,are now morn ing stars, as viewed from the earth. A few weeks hence they will light up the morning sky as brilliantly as they recently did the evening firmament, and will make even a grander display. On the 25th of this month the moon was with Venus, Saturn and JuLUov, two-dnys before she eclipsed the Sim. Early next month Venus will be nt her greatest brilliancy, and to Saturn on the morning of the 6th while thir teen days later she will be bunched with Jupiter and Neptune, and Mars will shine above them* — •- < William If. Lang, President of the Southwestern Immigration Company, called on the New York Commission ers of Emigration Monday, and had an interview with reference, to his visit to Europe to encourage emigra tion toLousiana, Texasand Arkansas. The railroad of the three States men tioned have agreed to pay the expen ses of Mr. Lang, and other incidental expenses to foster immigration with out regard to what part of the three States may be benefited. An effort is also being made in Soul h Cai olina to encourage immigration to that State; a State agent has been appointed, and thirty families were sent to Columbia Monday from New York, the Stale paying the expenses Time and again we are told that the civil war disposed of the doctrine of “State rights,” that this is a “Nation,” and that whoever disputes either of these statements is a “traitor.” And yet, in the joint resignation of Senator Conkling and Platt, they refer to I his submission of their dispute with the “National Government” to the New York Legislature, as follows: “We think it right and dutiful to submit the matter to the power to which alone we are bound and ever ready to bow.” If this be not a repudiation of the “National” idea, and an accept ance of the doctrine of “State rights,” what is it? It might be valuable for future reference, were it not the habit of Republican leader to don or shed principles according to the exigencies of the moment. — A Schely county gentleman who has been on a visit to Hawkinsville re turned borne last week through Dooly county, and saw what he took to be a very economical way of planting cot ton. A young man driving a mule, laying out the row; following behind him was the old man with a bag of cotton seed, which he was dropping, around the old man’s shoulder was a strong rope, which was attached to a plow and this had a board in the place ot the ploughshare to cover the seed and was guided by the old man’s wife. All of the parties were white and sta ted that they could do as much work in that way as eolord people would do with three mules. It was a kind of labor saving process, and did away with extra mutes—Americus Repub lican. THE REVISED NEW TESTA MENT The great body of the public is un cirtical, and it may therefore, be ex pected that a large majority of the changes made in the revised version of the New Testament will be received with a sort of protest, particular}' or. the parts of those who have an oppor tunity of comparing the two version. Indeed, a protest has been heard from those who cannot fairly be. called un critical. and already the charge is made that the committee of revision have tampered with a great English classic without materially improving it. This charge is heard from both the sectarian and the newspaper pul pit; and yet, with the exception of the changes that have been made in a few familiar texts, the. average congrega tion will be unable to say whether the (freacheris reading hi- lesson from the revised or the authorized version. It is impossible at this time, how ever, to predict the extent of the pro test or to adequately measure its ef fect. The authorized revision now in use superceded the Geneva Bible on ly after a controversy that ex!ended over a great many years, and its gen eral adoption was due to the fact that the plates of the Geneva Bible grad ually wore out, rather than to anv preference on the part of the public. Such is the force of habit and associa tion. The revised version will in all likelihood take the place of- the au thorized version, (1) because the chan ges are so carefully made that they do not produce any very serious men tal shock, and (2) because, in the nat ural order of things, the revsed ver sion will gradually displace the old version. In the meantime, the New testa ment will attract additional attention, and the controversy that is bound to spring up have a wholesome effect. It will surprise those who are not criti cs.ly familiar with the history of the New Testament to learn that there are no less than one hundred and fif ty thousand various reading in that division of the.scriptures* This would be alarming if any large proportion of these differences was material but this is not the case. That there are so many various readings is due to a very fortunate fact, namely: that there are multitudes of independent copies of the New Testament, which enable bibical scholars to determine the original text with a degree of certainly almost absolute. These manuscript copies which are at the service of scholars are divided into two classes. Those in which capital letter are employed through out, with no distinction between the beginning or ending of words or sen tences, have been styled Uncials. Those written somewhat in the form common at the present day are called Cursives. The Alexandrian Manu script is a very complete copy of the Greek scriptures. In this manuscript the Books of Revolution is preserved entire. It is attributed to the fifth century. Some have supposed that it had its origin in Egypt, but this is not definitely settled. The Vatican J/anuscritp is regarded by biblical scholar as a most interest ing and precious manuscript. It was not fairly accessible untill 1868, when an edition was published in sac simile and with the greatest care, un der the auspices of Pope Pius the Ninth. Scholars date the Vatican Manscript in the fourth century, and some claim for it even a greater an tiquity. The Ephream Manuscript is is what is known as a palimpest—2 manuscript in which one work, in or der to economise parchment, is writ ten over another. It was only in 1834 that the sacred text was rendered legible by means of a chemical prep aration, and since then the manu script has been published. It is not complete. The Manuscript of Reza was found in an old monastery at Syrus. The Siniatie Manuscript was, in fact, found at the convent of St. Calherins on Mount Sinial in 1844, and in 1859 the entire mannscript was recovered. This manuscript was published in 1862, It posseses the ac.vantag over all other manuscript of embodying the New Testament complete. It alsoeontiflns the Greek text of the epistle of Barnabas. These arc the most important of the Uncial manuscripts. The Cur sive. are less important, for the reason that (hey lack the element of antiqui ty. These manuserpts were not, for the most part, within reach of the translators of the authorized version, j but they have been made the basis 'of the changes given in the revised ‘version. No doctrine of faith has j been changed, and it may be said that .in all important respect the New Testament remains practically tin ! altered, it is natural to suppose, i however, that some of the changes will be resisted; but the revision, ; whether it is adopted at once, or after j a loug and heated controversy, will accomplish great good in renewing among the people a comparative and i critical study of the scriptures, and any events which can bring this about I on so grand a scale must mark an era j in the history of revaled religion. 1 —Constitution SHERIFF SALES FORTUNE.
