high sense of duty. Occupying as be did a

Presiding in tbe trial of Hopkins was
peculiarly a delicate position forjudge Ber
rien. He bad been long the intimate friend
of the Hopkins familw, and enjoyed fully
tbe confidence of the father and son. But
tboae wbo knew him, knew be would shrink
from no duty, nor yield to any influence
outside of his conviction of right.
After a protracted and most impartial
trial, Hopkins was convicted of man
slaughter, and sentenced to tbe penitentiary
for tbe term of five years. Under tbe per
mission of tbe judge and in the custody of
tbe sheriff; Hopkins wes permitted to visit
his plantation. Probably at tbe soonlvance
of tbe sheriff, the overseer of Hopkins
conveyed him on board e ship then in tbe
offing at Darien, ready to sail for Europe.
For this act tbe overseer was tried, convicted
and sentenced by Berrien to five years at
found homes in other states, and who have
won honor and fame in their service.
Middle Georgia has given two governors to
Mississippi, two senators, four judge*, and
rnxny other of her best citizens; to Ala
barna she has given two governors, two
supreme judges and four representatives in
congress; to Texas, three governors, two
senators and two representatives in congress,
and five judges. All of these have main
tained unspotted reputations, and have
largely contributed to the honor and
prosperity of these a'a'ea. To Louisiana
abegare tbe great Chief Justice Mathews,
with others of distinguished fame, and to
Florida most of her men of e-ninenoe.
Amongst those of the past generation who
have won the highest fame in her annals,
none are more conspicuous than John M.
Berrien. He wes not a na'iveof Georgi ,
though reared from his earliest infaocy in
the state. His father removed from New
Jersey to Georgia when he was yetsn infant,
fn that state he was born on the 23J day of
August, 1781 and in the house occupied by
General Washington as his headquarters,
whence he issued his farewell addrebs to the
army. His ancestors were French Hugue
noli. On the revocat on of the edict of
Nantes by Louis the 14th in 1688, withdraa-
ing from the Protestants the security
afforded them in the exercise of their
religion by Henry the 4th in 1508; the
best blood in France was dispersed in foreign
countries. The paternal ancestor of Jud<e
llerrien was descended from a Huguenot,
who fled from France to Holland, and
thence the family cjiuc to the United
Htetes in 1710. They located in the state
of New Jersey. His prandfaiher was one of
the judges of tho supreme court of that
state. His father, Mij >r John Berrien, at

General William McPherson, who resigned
his own min'd »n in the British array to
unite his fortunes with the cause of the

account of his physical inability from labor
during his imprisonment. This action of
the judge aroused anew pnblic indignation
against him. Hopkins remained but a
short time in Europe. In the meantime
his father had died, and it was asserted
through tbe public press that he
had appointed Judge Berrien his
executor. Learning of bis father's
death, Hopkins returned and surrendered
himself to the sheriff of Savannah. John
Clark was governor, and had off-red a re
ward for the apprehension of Hopkins, and
this reward be wrongfully paid to the
sheriff, as Hopkins bad voluntarily sur
rendered, and being a pnblic officer he had
no right to claim tne reward. The enemies
of Clark seised hold of this and were mak
ing capital of iu It was charged, and not
at the time denied, that as tbe executor oi
Hopkins, tbe father, Judge Berrien,returned
from his estate tbe amount of the reward
to the governor, and Hopkins was pardoned
by the governor.
The legislature assumed to investigate the
matter, and Judge Berrien appeared before
it in his own defense. This was of so mas
terly a character that the vote of acquittal
was unanimous. In this, as in every sciion
of his public life, he rone superior to faction
sod public clamor. There was no swerving
from the line of duty, no pandering to pub
lie whim or popular denunciations
Soon after the events here recorded,
Judge Berrien retired from the bench and
consented to serve tbe citizens ot Chatham
in the senate of the state legislature. So
conspicuous were his abilities here dis
played that in 1824, be was elected to the
senate of tbe United States congress, and he
took bis seat in that body on the 4th of
March, 1825, at a time when it was, indeed,
an honor to represent a sovereign state in
that august body. Judge Berrien immedi
ately took a high stand in the senate, shar
ing conspicuously in the debates on all im
portant questions, and rose at once to tbe
distinction of being foremost among the
great intellects then in that body.
* When Judge Berrien entered the senate
he was in the 44tb year of bis age, border
ing on that golden period when enthusiasm
usually abates and the higher and purer
offices of tbe intellect are wrought into full
and unrestrained action. He was very
youthful in appearance, and Chief Justice
Marshall, listening to him in thesera'e and
supreme court, gave him the appellation of
the honey tongued youth of Georgia.
On the election of General Jackson to the
presidency in 1828 be tendered to Judge
Berrien the office of attorney general of the
United State*, as a member of his cabinet
a- d one of his constitutional advisers.
General Call, a most intimate and devoted
friend of General Jackson, objected strenu
ously to hie appointment, because the office
of attorney general brought him in conflict
with a large number of laud claims in
Florida, in which he had been previously
of counsel adverse to the United States.
TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
elected solicitor general, and the next Judge Berrien met tnia charge with the
f ear judge ol the Eastern circuit. The
slier office he held four years.
In the discharge of the duties of a juuge he
not only manifested great abilities but
remarkable firmness. During his incum
bency, supervened the war between Great
Britain and the United 8*ates. This
war was peculiarly di*trrsdngto the people
■of the south, and especially disastrous to
the interests of the people of Georgia. A
Urge portion of the state had been but re
cently populated. The people were poor,
and many of them heavily, for their means,
in debt. The resources for revenue was
cotton, and their market was Great Britain.
Of course this was entirely cut off, and the
agricultural interest which was largely the
dominant interest of the state almost en
tirely destroyed They were left without
the means of liquidating their debts, and
they aaw in being forced to pay these the
:sacrificeof their all Under these circum
stances they became clam irons for the sus
pension of the law for the collection of
debts until such time after the conclusion
of the wsr they should be able to mret
these. The consequence was tbe election
of a legislature acc >rding to this, and an act
for *he puriM-tse was passed and prom alga-
ted. The debtor claw was relieved and
were content Not ao tbe creditor class, and
these were quite as numerous as the former.
They declared the law unconstitutional,
and insisted upon its being so pronounced
by the judges. There was then uo court of
ap|teals or supreme court in the state, and
the judge ot each district exercised the
power of final arbitrament. Judge Berrien
was the first judge to decide the question of
constitutionality It wasacritical moment.
To pronounce the law constitutional, would
le eminently pipu'.ar with the masses. A
different decision was to influence the peo
ple in all probability to the pnjpt of resist
ing the law by physical force.
This was palpable to Judge Berrien,
but his firmness was equal to conviction,
and moat solemnly he pronounced this act
unconstitutional. This decision led to the
convocation of the judges of every district
in the state for consultation. They assem
bled in the midst of intense excitement,
which pervaded the entire state. Every
means possible wai resorted to in order to
inffuer.ee their action and there seemed
great dancer of a popular uprising, should
that be in accordance with the ruling of
Judge Berrien. But official virtue was then
a principle not to be perverted by public
clamor, or seduced by the hope of reward,
directly or indirectly proffered. There was
a solemn duly to be performed and the
mandates of the fundamental law, as well
as tbe public interest was to be subserved
In that court there waa'neither fear nor
ffirching; moral duty was the guiding
principle, and sternly to pursue it was the
determination of every one. Finally, and
alicr mature deliberation, their decision
wra unanimous as to the unconstitutional-
ity of the act, and tbe determination to
bold the c urts and administer the laws of
the state
The promulgation of this dedlion was
followed by the explosion of pnblic indig*
nation throughout tbe state, and the almost
universal denunciation of the judges, espe
cially in a 1 its intensity was this directed
towards J udge Berrien, and for a great while

this regiment be rendered signal ferrlce
on tie coast of Georgia, confining tbe
action of the Hriiiah forces to the islands of
the coast, lo some degree this restored him
to public favor; still, there existed in the
public mind suspicious of bis patriotism,
and many believed him corrupt. The-e
inspiciona were provoked by his action as
declaration that he had informed General
Jackson of this fact and had reserved the
right to fullfil.hia previous engagements, to
wnich General Jackson assented, and in
March, 1829 he resigned his aeat in the
senate and accepted tbe attorney general
ship. Jackson’s cabinet as first organized
consisted of Martin Van Buren as secretary
of state, Ingraham, of Fennsylvanis,
secretary of the treasury, Brauch,
North Carolina, secretary of the navy, and
Berrien attorney general. The postmaster
was not then a member of tlie cabinet.
Eaton was from Tennessee, bad been in tbe
United tiutea senate from that state, and
had married a widow Timberlake. Her
first husband bad been a purser in tbe
navy. She was very beautiful, had resided
sometime in Washington, and had from
imprudences lost caste in society. She bad
succeeded in winning the confidence of
General Jackson. Eaton was quite a favor
ite of hia, and with his wife to a very great
extent controlled bis action in most mat
ters, bat especially his social views.
Judge B?rrien was a widower, but had
two daughters, of whom be was especially
fond, and exceedingly careful of their asso
ciation with the fashionable world. At'
once for his daughters he declined the
recognition socially of Mrs Eaton. This
was without any consultation with any
other members of the cabinet. It soon
appeared however that such was the deter
mination of his brother officials. This gave
their action the appearance of concert, and
at the same time great offense to the presi
dent. Mr. Van Buren was a widower, and
took no pan in the social arrangements of
the families of the cabinet ministers..
General Jackson never did things by
halves. He at once espoused the cause of
Mr Eaton and became bis champion. It
had no effect in influencing the action of
his cabinet in the matter, and at once de
termined to dismiss each member of bis
constitutional advisers. Van Buren resigned,
so did Eaton, and Ingraham and Branch
were asked to do so. Berrien wrote a
spirited letter to tbe president tendering
his resignation as soon as certain matters
then in progress should be completed.
Jackson's reply was short and courteous in
accepting bis resignation and quite compli
mtntary of his abilitiss and ot tbe manner

London, May 25—Yesterday evening, at 6
o’clock, the eteemer Victoria, with over six hun
dred excursionist* on board, waa returning from
Spring Bank. When near the Cave railway
bridge, one mile below the city, the boat sudden
ly collapsed like an eggshell, and became a total
wreck level with the water’s edge. All the
passengers were instantly plunged into the
stream, more than one-half of them being under
neath the debris.
The first news of the disaster which reached the
city waa brought by the survivors, who straggled
through the streets ot the city wet and weary.
Tbe news fell like a thunderbolt and a stampede
took place for tne spot Arriving there a horrible
right met their view. Fifty or sixty bodies had
already been recovered, and were lying on the
bank. Those arriving from the city from every

victims wss heartrending. Fathers, mot*- —

lyn clergymen yesterday used the revised
Testament in reading passages of Scripture.
The Times of Sunday morning says
the demand for the revised edition of the
New Testament continued with unabated
activity all day yesterday. The street ven
dors did a thriving business in the cheap
styles of binding, and the principal book
stores were thronged with purchasers. Mr.
Thomas Nelson, of Thomas Nelson & Son,
Bleecker street, said that orders continued
to flow in oa pretty much
Name scale as on Friday.
He had been compelled to decline new
orders unless the persons ordering consented
to wait their tarns. He was constantly re
ceiving telegraphic orders from all parts of
the country. One house in Philadelphia
telegraphed for 5,000 copies of one style,
besides copies of the other styles. He judged
from the number of orders received from
Philadelphia that the supply in that city
was exhausted. He had also received an
order for 3,000 assorted copies from Mr.
Campbell, of Toronto, the Canada agent of
the Oxford Press. “A peculiar condition of
things prevails in Canada,” he continued.
“Mr. Campbell obtained the exclusive ri^ht
to publish the book in Canada, and had it
copyrighted. He relied, however, for his
>plies ou the English presses. No rush
ng anticipated, his supplies were not
shipped troai England until the 17th
of the present month, and therefore
will not reach Toronto before June 1. But
the public has become impatient, aud Mr.
Campbell has been forced to seek tempora
ry supplies in this city. I declined to till
his order as I prefer to keep my stock for
the accommodation of my regular trade.”
Mr. Nelson said that he received an addi
tional invoice of about 60.000 copies by the
Baltic, which arrived ou Friday. In speak
ing of the exlraordiLary demand for the
book, he said that the efforts of publishers
and newspapers to obtain advance copies
bordered on the ludicrous. It was his be
lief that he could have got $5,000 for a sin*

and conveyed to the bank. The steamer Princess
Louise was early brought to the spot and the
victims were placed on tbe upper deck. Fires
were lignted on the bank overlooking the river.
Petroleum torches were brought and the search
was continued until night.
About 150 corpses have been secured. Among
the dead are James Robertson, manager of the
bank of British North America: J. C. Meredith,
clerk of the dividend coart; William McBride,
assessor aud secretary of the Western fair asso
ciation; Mrs. William Ashbury; William Mill-
mon, of Montreal, commercial agent, and two
sons; andJ. Rogers Plumber.
All is contusion at the present moment. The

| Granting the full need of praise due to the
‘ painstaking and pious producers of what
is called the King James version, ii
could not be denied that the
means of revision that they possessed have
been vastly increased by the
discovery ot uew authorities and the im
proved study of the old ones. Infallibility
should be claimed for no set of revisers,
and it was unquestionable that terms
that were classical when the King James

obsolete and almost unmeaning. Clergy-

put there, for a witness to the fact that the
American revisers fully held their own in
point of scholarship with their English as
sociates. He who failed to read the ap
pendix would lose much of what is most
valuable and enduring in the revision. Dr.
Taylor regretted that the revisers
had adjourned sine die. It
might have been better bad they agreed
to meet, say a year or two hence, and
consider the criticism of their work that
will naturally arise. Dr. Taylor advised
Bis hearers to read and stu(!y the revision
at their homes and in their Sunday schools.
The revision must be tested by use. Side
by side with the King James version it must
hold its own or fall. Millions of Christians
were weighing it, and upon their verdict
must, after all, depend the question of its
permanent adoption.
The Rev. Dr. John Cotton Smith alluded
at the Church of the Ascension Sunday
to the changes made by the revisers, and
quoted from both versions of the text He
said in conversation: “I think the move
ment for a revision was a go d one, and the
resalt is generally satistactory. I don’t
know us it is so in all points. Of course wf

copal church without authority, but I

Recent events have given an interest in
these people, who dwell in an almost un
known country. The dwellings of * the
Kroumir chiefs are somewhat superior to
the other inhabitants’, but even tne chiefs
share their homes with the mules, the cows
and the goats The dwelling consists of
but one room, divided into two unequal
compartments by a roughly made par
tition about a metre high. On one side
of this wall the family live; ou the
other the cattle. At tbe entrance to each
village or group ef mud huts there is a sort
of public building called the “Djemaa,”
or meeting place, and it is here tbat the
people assemble at intervals to discuss
matters of general interest. The men wear
a loosely-fitting woolen or cotton shirt,
and over it one or two burnous, according
to the season. Their head-gear is a kind
of skull-cap, knitted or of red felt. The
arms, legs and the neck are left bare, but the
feet are protected by a piece of leather at
tached to the foot by a number of inter
twining strings. The dress of the young
women is described as extremely graceful.
A large piece of woolen stuff, folded in two,
is attached to the shoulder with a metal
brooch, and reaches just below the knees.
A bright hued girdle encircles the waist,

There is one feature of the enterprise that has
been a* fully presented at the north as it
should be. During the three months of the exhi
bition Atlanta will be visited by tenslof thou

The store of I. K. Funk & Co., Nos. 10 and
12 Dey . street, was crowded all day yester
day. Mr. Funk said that the reiail trade
and the demaud for job lots were even
greater than on Friday. Especially remark
able was tbe demand of street vendors.
Some of these men had sold as many as 500
copies of the 20 cent style np to 2 o’clock
Saturday afternoon. Both at hi3 place and
the Nelsons all the loag primer styles had
been exhausted and most of the cloth bind
ings of all styles. The largest sale has been
of the twenty-cent style. He received 10,000
copies of this style by the Baltic. The
companion to the revised New Testament
has been completely sold* out, Mr. Funk
said, although an edition of 20,000 copies
was printed. He had ordered another edi
tion of 35,000 copies which would be ready
for sale in a day or two.
The Rev. Dr. Talbot W. Chambers, oj
the Reformed Dutch collegiate middle
church, has written a letter to the Times
in which he says that the reporter mistook
the meaning ot what he said touching the
revised New Testament. “I think very
highly of the revised New Testament,” he
writes, “and have no doubt at all that it
will replace the old version. But this
cannot .be done at once. Nor sfionld I
think for a moment of introducing it into
the regular service of the pulpit until there
had been time for people to become fully
aware of its merits. Tuey are hardly to be
considered true friends ol the revision who
insist upon its being immediately adopted
in public worship. That is sure to come in
due time, but nothing is gaiued by a resort
to precipitate measures.”
The Rev. Dr. Crosby, one of the Ameri
can revisors, at the requestof students, read
from a copy of the new revision at the uni
versity chapel exercises Sunday morning,
and^nade a few comments upon the work.
In order.to explain a very important change
he read the tint part of the tenth chapter
of John. In the authorized version the
fourteenth and fifteenth verses read: “I
am the good shepherd and know my sheep,
and am known of them; as the Father
knoweth me, even so kuow I the Father.”
There is no reference in these words^io a
similar mutual relation existing b tween
Christ and his people .hat exists between
him and God, hut this is clearly brought
out in the new version, which reads, “I am
tbe Good Shepherd, aud I know mine own
and mine own know me, even a9 the Father
knoweth me and I know the Father.”
The chancellor said he could appeal to
the reason, and not merely to the prejudice,
of his hearers, for be was not unaware that
much opposition would have to be over
come before the new version would be gen
erally received. Perhaps ten years would
be necessary. It took twice that time to

been shaved by Mr. Schelpcrt, the barber
in frontol tbe National hotel!
I was astonished when I first sat in bis chair, by
his not asking me If 1 didn't want my
hair cut. When he failed to insist upon
my being shampooned, ! marveled even
more, and when he shaved me, without saying a
word, I felt that he was a man with a history.
And here it is:
He was educated in the best of German colleges,
and when a mere lad entered the Prussian army.
He and Carl Schurz and Sigel were lieutenants lu

The regiment to which they belong od joined the
insurrectionists in 1848, and in the last battle of
tho campaign Snhakpezt was wounded, captured,
and sentenced to death. Schuiz. Sigel, and most
of the other rebels escaped. Just before his exc
cution day arrived, Schelpcrt made his escape
from prison and came to America. In New York
he met one of his compatriots who had
married a young girl with whom each had been at
school. This couple wss going south and Schel-
pert accompanied them. They stopped at Madi

means, and casting about for some houest menus
of livelihood discovered that there was no barber
in the village. He thereupon bought a razor, ami

him a quiet life and plenty of leisure for pursuiug

friend dying, he married his widow and lived the
life of a just and peaceful man until the late war
opened. He then raised a company aud marched
at the head of the first confederate tlag carried
out ol Madison, joining the Third Georgia regi
ment. He served with this for some time and
then joined the Sixty sixth of which he became

Tbe Rev. G. Van Alstybe,|of the Bedford

The work seems to have been moat thor
oughly done. The corrections made in
mistakes of Greek grammar, in archaisms,
and use of tenses and of prepositions, have
given to certain passages of the Testament
almost a new light, and the work from the
first to last shows marks of finest scholar
ship and great conscientiousness.”
The Rev. Dr. J. O. Peck, of the Hanson
Place Methodist Episcopal church, Brook
lyn, preached last evening on “The Greatest
Event of the Great Century—The Revised
Version of the New Testament” The revis
ion was the greatest event ef the century,
he said, because it demonstrated that there
were no fatal errors in the Testament as we
have had it. Eighty men, learned and
pious, had spent ten years each in atndying
the book, and this aggregate of eight hun
dred years of labor in looking for defects
had proved that there was no false doctrine
iu the Testament—no fatal error. “I take
these eight hundred years of study of the
Bible,” said the preacher, “and put them
against Bob Ingersoll’a shallow treatment
of it.”

MS. BEECHER ON THE REVISION.
Chicago, May 22.—The entire revised
New Testament, was printed in the Times
and Tribune here to-day. To-night Henry
Ward Beecher, commenting on the revis
ion, said he was highly pleased with the
work of the revisors, that he accepted
nearly all their departures from the King
James version, and in fact had been using
many of the changes himself for years. The
substitution of tne word ‘ servant” for
“slave” as the translation of “doulos” he
dissented from. He was not one of those
abolitionists who thought slavery was not
recognized in tbe scriptures. He thinks
the revised book will be generally ac
cepted.
Philadelphia, May 22.—In most of the
Protestant churches here to-day the clergy
men referred to the revised New Testa
ment. Their views were iu most cases
strongly in favor of it as a valuable work
which would throw light on many doubt
ful matters. In one or two instances the
work was condemned.
HOW NEW YORK CLERGYMEN RECEIVE IT.
Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potter, of Grace church,
who was a member of the finance commit
tee of the American revision committee,
devoted his morning sermon Sunday to
it. .
Dr. Potter’s text waa from I Corinthians,
14th chapter, 9th verse: “So also ye, UDles3
ye utter by tbe tongue speech easy to be
understood, how shall it b*i known what is
spoken?” He said it wss recessary that
the language of the Bible should be clear
and understood of the common people
The first version in common use
was "Wycliff’s. He read from WyclifTs
Bible a verse unintelligible to mo*t modern
readers, aud said tbat if all change bad
been deemed forbidden, the same version
would to day be read in tbe churches
Changes in spelling and construction con
strained the translators of the King James
Bible to produce it in the form which has
now been in use for 270 years. Since that
time other changes quite as radical have
taken place in the English language
“Some urge,” srid Dr. Potter, “that the

and screamed. Her mother and aunt
hurried out to her, and found a
locust clinging to her left temple. They pulled

that her entire left side was paralysed, and on
the next day tbe paralysis had covered the entire
body—the pnlae being scarcely perceptible. On
Sunday It was thought the girl would die. Bill

from Dr. Gordon and repeated it to us, says that

not admissible to cling to what is old when
it is also unmeaning. The march of dis
covery, advancement of learning and fresh
antiquarian researches have tamed a flood
of illumination on the Bible, and a great
number of errors, happily not serious, have
been brought to light. The advisability
of these changes depends upon the
question whether or not they are in the
direction of truth. It is now better known
wbat has been interpolated and falsely in
troduced. The new version has profited by
the recent discovery of the most ancient
manuscripts, by a more complete knowl
edge of grammar, and of the Greek particle,
and by a matured type of scholarship in
such as was never known before. When
the King James version was issued it met
with the same opposition that this new ver
sion encounters. That version was really
never formally authorized. It simply made
its own way, and by its internal character
gained a vital authority I predict it will
be so now with this late Victoria version.
The churches may be slow to adopt it, but
it will be adopted in the closet and in ^ the
home, and thence it will make its way into
the house of God. Every difference be
tween the new and the ola has been a gain.”

The American appendix is short and
contains only those renderings which the
English company, iu its final action, were
unwilling to accept, and which the Ameri
can company deemed of sufficient import
ance to be recorded for future use. If ap
proved by pnblic opinion it will ultimately
be incorporated in tbe text of the Amen*
t ip editions; if not. it will still retain a
certain literary and historical value.
The circulation©! the revised edition in this
country will be considerably retarded by
the following circumstance: The American
Bible society, the greatest American agency
for the distribution of Bibles, with its
present constitution, is confined to the
circulation of the authorized English ver
sion, and cannot publish the revision unlees
its constitution is changed, which will no
doubt be done aa soon ss the churches
supporting the society adopt the revision.
This will be the proper time to make the
American appendix practically available,
and although the worshipers of the latter
may take offense, worshipers of the spirit
will rejoice. In spite of all differences,
however, “the Anglo-American revision is
the noblest monument of Christian anion
and co-operation .in the nineteenth century.
