The money question in politics will' produce a giouter excitement than anything else. If tln* agitation should be 'prolonged it would not surprise us to hoar of the masses taking summary vengeance upon the Monopilists and Bondholders.

At the hard money meeting m At lanta, the other night, letters were read from Judge Warner, Ben Hill and Milton A. Candler. Speeches were made by Dr, H. Y. M, Miller and Judge MoCay—all on the hard money side. Nothing definite was resolved as there were so many Green backers present that the hard money men were overpowered. The meeting adjourned in tumultuous but jolly con fusion. If Lamar and Hill are both going for the Presidency on this money ques tion, we shall go for Hill. It would require an hour and a half to vote for Lamar, if we included all his middle names.—\tlanta Constitution. Our friends of the Constitution need give themselves no uneasiness on that score, they will never l>e called on to vote for either Hill or Lamar for President, When these gentlemen have recorded their votes against the silver bill the bondholders of the North and hast will have no further use for them, and they will be per mitted to retire to private life. Such a betrayal of the hopes of their con stituencies will be their political death, end on their p ilitical toombs will be inscribed: Lamar and Hill Went ‘jrainst the bill— Ob, terrible disaster! Lamar fell down And broke bis crown Hill cuuie tumbling after. Mr. A. B.

New Yohk, January 28. —The American Bible revision committee hold its monthly meeting at the Bible 11 ouae on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday. Rev. Philip Schail, president, reported that the Old Testament com- I any have nearly finished the first re vision of Jeiemia.il. and wih next take up Ezekiel. They had previously re vised the Pentateuch, the Psalms, and the Piopliet Isaiah. The New Testa ment company have reached theelev enth chapter of the Second Epistle to tin! Corinthians in the first rovi. ion- The gospels, the acts and two-thirds of the epi.sdes have been revised so far, but will require a second revision. The American committee are hut lit tle behind their brother revises in Englan , The eccentricities and vagaries of Ren Hill are too much for human lb - bearance. Mr. Hill is not a larseenig statesman. lew public men have made a greater number of predictions that utterly failed to be fulfilled, and few have been as wayward and unre i uble. At.this iuuciure we need a pa triot, statesman and a financier in tlie Senate, and this alone is equivalent to saying that Mr. 11 ill ought to resign. lIESUMPTION-IN A HORN. One of the most foolish arguments of the resumption repeal hill is to point to the fact that greenbacks are nearly on a par with gold. The truth is that if greenbacks were to go up to gold or beyond it to-morrow resump tion would not be brought about, tor the nearer greenbacks count to gold in price the more irredeemable they be come. Resumption ean never be brought about until greenbacks are converti’ le, and they cannot be made convertible until there is enough gold n the treasury vau ts to redeem them. We should be most heartily in tavorof resumption if the policy contemplated an accumulation of gold, but so far from this being the uise, it Cos tem plates the gradual destruction of greenbacks, and this destruction wiT go on, unless the representatives of the people put a stop to it, until the euiiie country is ruined. Mr. Ilill may wear out all the pens b Wash ington explaining h s position but he cannot relieve the country until the con tract ion policy inaugurated by in active capital shall lie stopped.
