Last week Collector Brayton and Marshal Wallace called on Governor Hampton. to compare views as to the proper mode of suppressing illicit dis, tilling and tobacco peddling In the up country. The Union County rescue and the general difficulty of enforcing the revenue laws was discussed, wit.h little progress toward agreement ais to, methods. After tbe interview, 1Srayton sent a long communication to Gov. Hampton, presenting his views again and replying to Gov. 11am pton's objections as to the character of men now employed as revenue agents. He closed with a proposition that. Gov. Unpton should nombinate five memn for appointment upon the special l orce, and prom ised to allow g full, and fair, test Of'4he efleioey .of such Ilome oft floors. Gov.

This is the Divine Law that we are to look into, ouI' souls are -tatakeon It In what language was it first written? The. world seems agreed that the Old Testament was vriften in the Hebrew, and the New Istament in the Greek. Who trans lated them into Qur language? The first, by John Wickliffe, was finished in the year 1884, and was used for over one hundred and thirty years. Wm. Tindal's came out in 1530, (these men are claimed to be Baptists,) Miles CQvordale's was the next, followed by Matthews. Tunstal and Heath (two Bishops in 1541) translated one, by order of King Henry the Eighth. Some historians say this was known as the Bishops' Bible, others claim that thc one known by that name was translated later, in Queen Eliz*abeth's time, and revised under her order, by some of the Bishops. In the year 1610-268 years ago-King James the Sixth, of Snotland, and the First of England had our present translation gotten. up by a committee of 47 learn ed men. Remember this was neither of the Apostles by that name; but James, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, a Catholio. What does our Histories teach us about him? He was a man of some learning and wit, but very weak mentally, believed that kings were the deputies of God, and that they were only accouhtable to him for their actions; chose for his ministers, or itnmbdiate friends, mean, weak and profligate young men, in preference to those of ability and character; and some say he wias a great eoward-would shed tears ait the aight of a sword or blood. iIe is said to have been a Protestant, but selecd a Roman Catholic consort for his son; probably cowardice kept him from declaring iimself a Catholic, as his mother wvas beheaded on account of a plot of the Catholics to miurder her cousin Elizabeth, Queen ot Eng, land, and put her on the throne. This James Ilaid down certain specific rules to govern thme translators. WVe don't know what these rules were, 'ecept two, which wams to followv closely af ter one of the old tranislations, (the Bish ops')'atmd not to translate certain ecle sinationi words, etc., etce Do' the Scriptures teach us that James was inspired, or do we sco anyt.hing like iznspiration in him that we should cogsider his mark and the ground be hind him sacred? Are we not to look into the old original copies of the Law? I not only think it our right, but sacred duty, to look closely into them. If the translation is good, we can only say well done, thou faithful of old. If not, let's have a better one. If he burned the old Hebrew and Greek coppies, then~ we may only have the reveolation of James, and not of God and Christ. Butt we have the eame old text -that his translators had, with as great facility tor translating. Who is getting up the new transla tion? I confess I don't, know much about it; but I hear 14hat it is the American JBible Utuion Publishing Co. It's face certainly carries on it a high order of respectability. I have coufidence enough in our churches to believe they would not impose any thing onsus worse than King James did. England was almost constantJy in religious wars, he;' soil dyed in her own blood. No liberty of press or speOe pan be more prejudiced than they derd. it Is s.aid that Queen Vfc torla, by far of a more pure character thani hew' ancestor', does not consider the transalation so immaculate that it it shouki statnd forever; bu:t hhs or, dered,' or consented, to another in her country. From what little I know of the Greek lnnguage, I think tho old translation a very good one, and that the translators deserve credit for it, copskceri ng, the revolutionary times in which, they lived; but there as not a Leionm on earth that givea "Bap tize" asthe definition of the Greek V#6rd "1aptizo." They have cer'tainly turned out a mongrel on that word.

The President's first public. levee was not, in point of membors, a sue 6ess, as compared with those given by Grant, Johnson and Lincoln, and as Mrs. Hayes is a pattern of slmpRelty in dress, there was a very noticeable change in the tharacter of . the cos tumes worn by the ladies. Every na. Lion had its representatives there, all the diplomats, however, were in plain black suits and not in 'the gaudy trumpery of court dress. They wear them now only at the State dinners. The Russian an' Turkish ministers are indulging in no hospitality or society amusements this winter, owing to the terrible war which is being waged by their respective countries. 'Mrs. Thompson, a wealthy lady of Now York has purchased F. B. Carpenter's painting of "Lincoln and the enanci pation proclamation" and will present it to Congress on Lincoln's birth day, February 12th. 11on. Alexander 11. Stephens will make the speech of ac ceptance in reply to Mr. Garfield's presentation address. The proposi, tion to reduce the tax on whiskey and tobacco is meeting with great opposi, tion here from the distillers aid to bacco manufacturers, as their businces is at a perfect stand-still and will be until the matter is settled by Con% gress. They say they cannot effoct sales now because the buyers say "we will wait till the tax is reduced, and then purchase cheaper." Jay Gould, the keer.-eyed Wall Street broker, is in the city, looking after the interests of the Union Pacific Railroad. He is a good lobbyist, and has a good repu tation here in the line of a schemer. The value of* a penny is being demon. strated by "Roberts" the gostipy writer of the Sunday Capital. A "penny lunch room" has been opened by hoer and is doing. a good business. Trickets are sold to the puiblic at a centt cash and those are given to the poor instead of' money, and for one of themn will be giveun a plate of soup, a picco of meat, a cup of coffee, bread and butter, or a boiled pota.to. The same plan has been acted upon by the "Labor Exchange," an institution pe culiar to Washington. lion. Johu4 .Kitz, Counsel General of' the Swiss Government, is the prime mover'. lie is the most active man in the city in philanthropio movements, and gives a great sharo.of his time and money in helping the p)oor Nearly two hundred millions was lost last year, by business failures, and the future outlook should awaken the immediate attntion of Congress. The conflicts in relation to cnrrency should be settled as soon as possible. It would seemn that a silver dollar should be coined of equal value with gold, and be made receivabjle in payment of all debts. Such action would stimulate the coinage of silver and prevent spe, eulations in gold. A proposition has boen made which is receiving oonsid% oration among the hard money men. It is to coin a dollar from both gold and silver consabined. The dollar piece would contain 222 grains of sil ver, 25 grains copper and 9 grains gold. The representatives of the measure claim, that it is practicable and possible to unite the two metals and form one which would be popular, honest and convenient. This may yet be the compromise between the two factions of' hard money advocates, FAx. To the Taxpayers of Piokens County. I see that Capt.
