The lady ls said to be an unusually fine artist. -A meeting was held at Fairmont, West Virginia, February 26th, to promote the con? struction of a railroad from Pittsburg, Pa., to 'Charleston. S. C. Committees were appointed and other steps taken to forward thc object of | the meeting. -The eminent and well-known Methodist divine and scholar, Rev. John Mcclintock, D. JD., died last Saturday morning, at thc Drew Seminary, Madison, New Jersey, of which in? stitution he was president. His disease was typhoid fever. -Salt Lake, in Utah, is seven feet higher than lt was ten years ago, and is constantly rising. It has been urged by those who have paid attention to the subject that the rise of | water there would produce a solution of the Mormon question before Congress would act upon it. -A Boston young man, a Catholic, intended to beamarrled on Tuesday evening, but at the lost moment "recollected that "ne had forgot? ten" to procure a license. He dashed out of | the hotisc in pursuit of the prized bond paper, but it was loo late; the office was closed. Lent begun the next day, and for forty days he must pine, as no marriage can bc celebrated tn his church during Lent. -There are unmistakable signs, says the Washington correspondents, that Buller is trimming his sails tor a breeze to waft bim into the Presidential nomination, and is re? ported to have said in private conversation that he has no rival but Grant. One of B.'s partisans recently made the extreme remark that he "didn't believe that B. F. Butler ever wronged anybody out of five cents." Spoons axe not a legal tender. -A New York letter of Saturday, says : "The spring business may be looked upon as having fairly opened. The heavy declino In gold has had the effect to Induce many pur? chasers to 'take holor Who had previously been keeping back, and the result is, thc dis? tribution within the week ot a larger amount of merchandise, of one kind er another, from this centre, than has been the case for a long while. One of the leading dry goods houses has marked down its prices to a comparatively low figure to-day, and other dealers, next week, in all probability, will be obliged, if they desire to keep np with thc times, to follow its .example. The only drawback to a prosperous season, viewed O om the stand-point of to-day, IS tile apprehension that the farmers will hold back their produce in the hope of obtaining higher prices for it, when gold reacts. As but feW financiers here expect any such reac? tion, the talk is that the farmers will be very unwise if they do any such thing." -A Washington telegram of Monday's date says : "The House Military Committee was en? gaged to-day In hearing testimony IT relation to the case of Mr. Bowen, of South. Carolina. 3Ir. Johu McCarthy, of this city, arid Mr. El? liott, of Philadelphia, appeared before the committee. Mr. Elliott testified to having paid 41000 to Mr. McCarthy for the appointment of | "his son, but he had had no business with Bowen In relation to it. From the testimony of Mr. McCarthy lt appears that the papers were c V tained from Mr. Bowen by a man named .Gushing, who resides in Bowen's district, and *vho asked for the appointment on his own account; that Mr. Bowen gave the papers to Mr. Cushlng without any consideration, and .that Mr. Cushing in turn gave them.to Mr. McCarthy, and that he (McCarthy) sold them to Mr. Elliott, and pocketed all the money that passed in the transaction. The committee .acquit Mr. Bowen of being actuated by any improper motives in the transaction." -The saucy Sun's Washington correspon? dent, who is ever telling tales out of school, :says that whoever will take the pains to exam toe with care the testimony before thc com? mittee charged with investigating thc gold panic of September last, will see that, ia spite of all tue whitewashing endeavors of tho chairman and his assistants, thc convenient memories o? some of the ^Interested witnesses, and the disappearance of the most impor? tant part of the Grant family correspondence, there is much that is mysterious, suspicious and damaging to thc occupants of thc White House, male aad female. It is demonstrated beyond all doubt that they knew a large spec? ulation was on foot, and that they were to benefit by it, at least partially. The refusal of General Grant and his wife and sister to make any statement before the committee may be considered very politic in some quarters, but with reflecting people the failure to explain satisfactorily the transactions with Corbin & Company cannot but leave a bad impression, especially after the mercenary inclinations which have been so painfully evident in those quarters. It is no secret in well-informed cir? cles that thc President has received at least a quarter of a million of dollars in the form of substantial presents, to say nothing of thc stocks in speculative enterprises which have been donated to him and his staff to secure their favor. It is also stated that a brother of the President, not very long ago, had a note discounted at one of lhe national banks tn New York, which happened to be the deposi? tory of the United States consular fund. The note was not paid when due, and, therefore, the usual notice was issued. The person con? cerned went to Washington, made his state? ment, and the note was cashed; but the con? sular deposits were immediately atterward transferred to tlie banker Seligmann, a favorite with General Butterfield, and at the White House. Revision of the English Bible. What is called "The Convocation" in Eng? land has, Tor the last two hundred years, ceased to he of any political or ecclesiastical importance. According to the theory of Anglicanism, the. Assembly of the Bishops, and other clergy of the Church, bas a con. current jurisdiction with Parliament. The secular and ecclesiastical bodies meet at the same time, divide into two houses, are or? ganized by the call or election of their own officers, have their appropriate ceremonies, and expire together. Tlie Convocation af? fords a curious example of an obsolete insti? tution, rigidly observing every old precedent and cautious?*7 doing nothing for a couple of centuries. Tue right to tax its members was transferred to Parliament in the time of the Stuarts. The right to appoint a bishop is assigned to the Prime Minister, who nom? inates him, and gives the Chapter "leave to "elect" the person nominated; the latter, after having prayed to the Holy Ghost for direc? tion, always proceeds to elect the appointee of the Crown. Thus the Convocation has beena curious ecclesiastical anomaly. It has shown to the English people "how not "to do it" after the approved old-fashion, which Dickens describes. But now this venerable body has taken a position which al once brings it into living association with the ecclesiastical progress of the age. At the^ February Convocation, Hw House of Bishops inaugurated a move? ment for the revision o? the English transla? tion of the Scriptures. The Prelates of the Diocese of Canterbury unanimously provided for a report, by committee, "upon the desira? bleness of a revision of the authorized ver "sion of the Old and New Testaments, "whether by marginal notes or otherwise, in "all those passages where plain and clear "errors, whether in thellebrcw or Greek text, "originally adopted by the translators, or in "the translations made from the same, shall, "on due investigation, be found to exist." The resolution offered by the Bishop of Win? chester was successively supported by the bishops of St. Davids, of Llandaff, of Salis? bury, of Exeter, and by other prelates. Of these prelates, the first, in offering the resolution, said that "everybody who studied "the matter, knew that there were, in the "present volume, parts of it which did not "belong to the inspired record. Therefore, "he believed it was the duty of the Church "to remedy these errors." The latter con? fessed his fear that the resolution, if carried, "would involve the necessity of constant rc "vision 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 Testament "would in any way affect thc doctrine which "the Church of England now held. He be "lieved it would be a great advantage, both "to tlie public and private reading of the "English Church, if a judicious revision were "made. Such a 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 re "vision, if, by sucli revision, they could sc "cure a more faithful representation of Scrip "ture than they had hitherto had." After these speeches, the motion prevailed. This action will awaken the deepest inter? est in the whole English-speaking world. The received version was made from the texts of Erasmus and Stephens, collated in the Sixteenth Century from manuscripts in use in the Tenth Century. Since that time, older manuscripts, together with versions dating from early ages, and quotations from ecclesiastical writers of antiquity, have been collected, multiplying the readings and modifying the text in many particulars. Es? pecially nave three great manuscripts, pub? lished in modern times, given a new impetus to biblical criticism. These are the Vatican Codex, the Alexandrine Codex and the Sinai tic Codex, which were written, the first and last in the Fourth, the second in the Fifth Century. They were published in 1857, in 1786, and in 1S02, respectively. AtuoDg these the Sinaitic Codex, discovered by Tischendorff in the Convent of St Cathe? rine's, on Mount Sinai, appears to bc tlie oldest of all, as it contains the unrevised text prior to thc time of Jerome. The read? ings of these old MSS. differ in many par? ticulars from those upon which the received version is founded. Baron Tauchnitz, in his one thousandth volume of English Classics, has published the new interpretations from these three great MSS., a most important contribution to biblical criticism. And now the prelates of the English Church are about to assume tlie work of revision. The result, we have no doubt, will be of advantage to our common Christianity. Thc new versions that have already appeared, and the revised texts that have been publish? ed, show tlie substantial integrity of the sacred canon. We think that the recensions of Jerome and others are worthy of more respectful consideration than Tischcndorff would be inclined to give them. But in any event, the preservation of the Sacred Text is one of the marvels of history. Its reproduc? tion in a perfect form will be the crowning literary glory of our age. A Cotton Bureau. Tho New Orleans papera are complaining of the virtual control which New York City has assumed over the cotton markets of this country, and of the influence which she is enabled to exert even over foreign markets, owing to the fact that she bas become the centre of telegraphic information from all points in the cotton-growing region. They maintain, with good reason, that the inter? ests of the North as the consumer, and that of the South as the producer, must neces? sarily be adverse. The one desires to buy as cheaply, and the other to sell as dearly, as possible. With a view, therefore, of coun? teracting, as far as may be, the existing Northern control over the price of our great staple, they urge the establishment in one of the leading Southern seaports of a cotton bureau, the proposed organization of which is thus sketched in the Picayune : "A superintendent and a sufficient number of clerks are to be employed, who are to keep up a regular correspondence with thc most re? liable and well-informed parlies throughout the entire South. The country will be divided into districts, and from the first planting of | the seed, throughout the season, minute in? formation will be obtained from each as to the | acreage, the stand, the weather, the appear? ance of thc worm or any other enemy, the yield, the character of the labor, and, in short, every item calculated to affect the crop. Week? ly bulletins of the information thus obtained, generalized yet supported by proofs, arc to bc published and sent abroad. In addition to thc above, correspondence is to bc kept up with all the great consuming centres, as well as with India, Egypt, Brazil, Ac, with a view to obtaining early and trustworthy information as to the crops of other countries and the pros? pect lor consumption; and an elaborate yearly statement of the crop and consumption of the United States is to be published at the earliest possible time after the 1st ol September." The suggestion is an eminently proper one; but we cannot help thinking that the South already possesses, if ber people will but use it, the power of regulating the price of the staple throughout the world, by a process far more direct, simple and certain than the machiner}' of such a bureau as that proposed. Let our planters but resolve to act upon the principle that the cotton is henceforth to be merely the money-crop of these Southern States,-let them take care, in the first place, to produce on their own soil enough grain and provisions of all kinds to make living cheap and plentiful among us. If their efforts for the growth of cotton be strictly limited to the surplus land I and labor that may be available after the first result is provided for, there need be no fear that the staple will at any time hereaf? ter fail to pay us a handsome profit TnE National Anti-Slavery Standard pro? poses to drop from its title tfoe words "anti "slavery," in view of the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment. Not having slavery to war upon, and feeling impelled by its pugnacious nature to tight something, even though it be a shadow, it proposes to direct its batteries against what it calls "the spirit "of caste, the yet living offspring of slavery." It no doubt take3 its cue from Senator Sum? ner, who, not long since, delivered a lecture on the subject of "Caste," which his friends cried up as a very great production. OUR Darlington correspondent writes that "R. R.'" Whitemore has already convinced some of his constituents that he did just thc right thiug in selling a cadetship. Ono of these enlightened voters was asked if he knew that his Congressman bad got into trouble, and his reply was, "Yes, sir. I bear "um say he sell a ship." Well might Timo? thy Hurley congratulate Whitemore that his constituents can't read. TBE conduct of Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, in refusing to accept the resigna? tion of Golloday, the Democratic Congress? man charged with selling cadetships, con? trasts very handsomely with the hot baste in which Governor Scott accepted the resigna? tion of Whitemore. The diff?rence between Stevenson and Scott is just thc diff?rence be? tween a gentleman aud a carpet-bagger. liooroing. BOARD WANTED.-A SMALL F A MI LY desire two Rooms with Hoard.
