The White House is declared one
ot the mbst unhealthy abodes in'the
land. Like Hamlet's king,it is a
thing of shreds and patches. Dur
ing" the last seventy years it has been
many times, repaired and added to,

overrun. with rats, affording by ita

,Thi? city connfil of Waco, after
long and careful consideration of the
question, whether it ah all exempt
capital engaged in manufacturing
from taxation, deeidea jnot to adopt
the measure of exemption, because
all capital should bear its equal
share of the burthens of gbvern
ment. Asa matter. of expediency
the "decision maj' hwe been .wrong,
while in theory there is but oue aide
to the question, and this is repre
sented by the opinion of the "Waco
city miners. . ,1 .
Thk Philadelphia Bulletin, says
Garfield was saved from a most em
barrassing plight by the Senate's re
jection of Chandler. It was ! no
secret that Wayne McVeagh would
have Instantly quit his post " had
.Chandler been thrust . upon him
And does the act of tho Senate iu re
ecting Chandler's nomination raise
Mr. Garfield in the estimation of ,the
Attoruey General ? The President
knew Chandler as well as anybody
knew him, and he knew that to place
hiui iu ollice would be a disgrace to
the country, from which it was
saved by a Democratic body. j

DEMOCRATIC
AUSTIN,
A FASHION SET BY A HARLOT.
Many of the papers are discussing
thedttty.whlch representatives of the
Democratic party, enjoying office,
owe to their supporters these pa
pers that have labored through long
years of toil and anxiety and ex
pense in the advocacy of measures
and of men, doing good service In
avancing both. The judgment
reached seems to be, that the bene
ficiaries of the party rarely give
official encouragement and aid to
these agencies which have served
them most, and that instead
the papers which Jiave most
vilified and abused the party's
principles and. its favorites have
become' the recipients of most
of the spoils. Andrew Jackson es
tablished a Democracy that gave life
and vigor to the government and
placed it high above the mean prac
tices of to-day. He placed a value on
adherence to princip'e, when he
taught that to the victors belong the
siibilB. He held that the Democratic
party represented the life aud prin
ciple of free goverument; that
to be a Democrat meant de
fense of tho institutions hand
ed down by the ' fathers, sup
port of the work executed by
a Washington, aud adhereuce to the
formulated doctrines of a Jefferson
He adhered to men who clung to the
pure aud unadulterated principles
of republican goverument, and when
struoro-linsr aud baltlins for these
00
and the agencies to represent them
that they deserved ana should have
the fruits of victory. Then the federal
government anl state and local Dem
ocratic, governments had powerful
representatives in Democratic pa
pers. There was no corrupt deal
ings out of public patronage to the
oress, but support was given . upon
the principle that the laborer is
woithy of his' hire, aud that
it would be gross injustice
to deny support to the 'willing
advocate, giving it to wilful ma
ligners, who worship alone at the
shriue of mammon. This country
has passed through a long and dark
political period, in which the very
foundations of our governmental so
ciety have been violently shaken,
while the republic of old has weU
nigh, given way to the purposes of a
now party.lhat sought to wrest all
authority from the people,and to give
all power to the few. For over
twenty years Democracy has been
unrepresented in the federal goveru
ment, and during this time mem
bers of the party in power have
grown enormously rich upon the
diversion of public means from pub
lic purposes, while the honest prin
ciples of a former day have been
repudiated in the interest of such
base corruption as ought to make a
people hide their faces in shame
when the name of their country is
spoken. The reward for honest toil
in furtherance of principle, proposed
by Jacksou, was improved upon, to
the extent that the victors should not
only have legitimate spoils, but that
there should be unbrideled license
and that the public purse should be
come the property of unscrupulous
men. whom a niratical ase had 6ct
afloat a9 buchaneers upon a
political sea. In adulation of
concentrated nower, in the attrac
tiveness of private wealth as are,
suit of public plunder, a spirit of iu
lependence iu politics aud in
imirnnlism has prevailed, as
j .
the , nearest approach to the
glittering pile of gold that
have created a line of Monte Chris.
tosl " A wicked leader of fashion, in
Paris, a woi.n&u notoriously the most
depraved of her sex, onco threw her
hat upon the floor and stamped upon
it. She at once coueeived the idea
of wearing this fame hat, crushed
and ill-shaped as it was, in her after
noon drive upon the Champs Elysees
and in the.Bois, and next day not a
fashionable woman of Paris dared
appear upon its streets without a
hat just like thU dilapidated one.
The harlot at Wasluugtou sets a
fashion, and, because she has wealth
at her disposal, obtains a following
even among those who prefer to con
demn her styles. The vast disburse
ment of wealth from the capital has
led journals that were Democratic to
approach as near the glittering
shrine ' as is compatible with
home associations, and in the
transition they have become inde
pendent; iu other words, they have
smashed their hats iu, as best
they ' could, to suit the fancy
of the harlot. This is the sort
of iudepeudent journalism which
I some of the "papers insist is main
tained by Democrats. Are they tiot
mistaken ? Do they pretend to say
that trusted Democrats do not- ap
preciate the virtue there is in hon
est thought ? Do they insinuate
that Democratic officers fail to ap
preciate tbe merit there is jn con
sistency, and that they lend. them
selves to the fashions set by the
harlot? Surely-not. Let none ac
cuse them so, for certainly they
revere the name of Jackson, and
despise the license that makes star

TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1881.
The New York-Sim insists that it
is a false idea to supposo Senator
Conkling resigned simply to encom
pass the defeat of Mr. Robertson,
and that he had no fcaaon to believe
his withdrawal would result in any
thing of the sort. . His" aet, it is
alleged. Is not the beginning of the
end so much as it. is the. end of
Conkling's support of the Republi
can party, as now organized. Mr.
Conkling is done with the Republi
can party as represented by
President Garfield, " hi cabi
net and his following in tire sen
ate. There can be little doubt, says
the&MM, that Mr. Conkling from the
time that '.it was announced Mr.
Blaine was to be Secretary of State
realized that,noaner or laler,the Re
publican party must go to pieces.
Mr. Conkling knew that it was the
intention of Mr. Blaine to crush him,
and he has ' said that he was
impressed with the fact that only
the most skillful guiding could save
the party from inevitable disaster.
His close friends represent that it has
been his desire to slave this off as
far as potible, and that he hoped
the nomination of Robertson would
be cither defeated or withdrawn, so
that the inevitable might be de
layed. Mr. Coukling told his sena
torial colleagues, in caucus, souie
days before he resigned, that
this was probably the ' last cau
cus of the Republican party, as at
present led both by the administra
tion aud by the administration's fol
lowing in the Senate, which he
should ever attend. They now un
derstand what he meant. They see
Mr. Coukling believes that the day
of the Republican parly is oyer, and
their alarm, as well as that of the
President and his supporters, is be
cause they now realize that the
power they have so long used in a
spirit of oppression and injustice is
slipping away from them forever.
It has taken twenty years of base
misrule for the climax of dissolu
tion to be reached, but .it has now
come, aud in such way as the peo
ple of the North must be led to in
quire into real causes aud eflectsdis
tracting the country. They may now
sec the truth, when the past warning
of the "Brigadiers," who know so
well how to appreciate good govern
ment, was always accepted as an
effort to destroy truth aud to arouse
a new and formidable rebellion.
The fight is alone in the camp of the
enemy, audi it is to be a fruitless oue
for the mastery, in which the mas
ters will certainly go down.
There Is something very curious
about these disagreements between
Republicans at Washington, aud the
Garticld-Conkling fiasco may have
much greater significance than . ap
pears upon the surface. President
Garfield would have avoided the
misunder8tauding with Conkling
had he dared to oppose Blaine, and
it is whispered around now that he
is perfectly willing for the star route
investigations to end, but Post
master-General James and Attorney-
General Macveagh have engaged
in them and it. may be that
they can not the arrested. It
is a notablo fact that these two
cabinet omcers nave fallen some
what into dislavor with the Presl
dent, and it would not be a public
surprise at any time for both
officials to leave their places to
others. The star route strikers say
openly that MacVeagh is doomed to
early ruin. Tfiey say he will not
resign of his own accord, aud that
their energies are now to be direct
ed to getting him out of bis position
by force. . The star route riugsters
have made up their minds that noth
ing but peremptory dismissal by the
President will drive him from office,
The fact is, MacVeagh is engaged in
a resolute, unrelenting pursuit of
the star route swindlers, and the
trimmers' cry of 'don't hurt-the
party!' does not scare him at
all. lie hasn't any particular
affection for Ihe party mana
gers, and no 'entangling alli
ances' such as mar the usefulness
of the President aud Blaine and
other cabinet officers. So far as
party interests are concerned, Mac
Veagh is "a bull in a china shop;"
he appears to be iuditlerent to the
fact that the inquiry now pending is
involving a large number Of the
hitherto active friends and support
ers of the Secretary of State, who
were his efficient workers iu the far
West during his two campaigns for
the presidential nomination. The
Attorney-General is equally indiffer
ent to Dorsey's threats of making
use of a lot of papers and evidence
in his possession, which he . asserts
will prove injurious to the Presi
dent. . '
It is said that President Garfield
knew of the resignations of Sena
tors Conkling and Piatt before they
were announced to the senate, and
the extraordinary statement is made
that even a cabinet meeting was
considering them before the intelli
gence rightfully belonged to the
President or to anybody else, except
Governor Cornell, of New York.' It
is said the private telegraph opera
tor of the President listened to the
resignations as they passed over the
wires, baying their connection with
the White House, and that tbe Pres,
Ident was thus informed, even before
the, transmission to Governor Cor
nell was complete. Can it be possi
ble that the President exercises such
presumption? ' Can he tap the wires
at will, and thus know the secrets
that law makes inviolate? The charge
is a grave one, and its truthfulness
ought to be verified. The Czar of
Russia may do such th in gsjn self-de
fense, but if the President of tbe
United States do so, it is simply im
pertinent and lawless curiosity. ,
' Some people, ask, strange ques

authority in kk vision.
All the Christian world is lookiug
into the merits or demerits of the
revised New Testament. It i one of
those things which persOus disposed
against changes in any form must
for a time condemu, but the new
work must soon become the -book
that is read and approved by the
mass of Christians. It may be well
enough to show proer respect for
the King James revision, but oppo
sition to the new is unreasonable.
Tba revision has been made neces
sary In order that tho common peo
ple as well as the learned might lin
derstand exactly on, what gronnd
they stand. Hitherto it has
been thought that every word oj
the English version 'of the Bible
was inspired, but this belTcf is pas
sing away as people . become educa
ted aud know that no work of a
translator can be absolutely perfect
All that may bo dependent upon
foi translations are copies, ancieut
versions, translations', aud the qucA
tationsmade by the fathers of the
church. A learned bibliolo'gist says
that tba manuscripts of the : New
Testament are of two kiuds the un
cial, the eldest class of manuscripts,
written in capitals and without punc
tuation, and tho .'cursive' manu
scripts, so called from .their being
written in a running. hand that be-,
gan to be used in the tenth century.
Those of the old class were written
between the fourth and tenth cen
turies, the others after the tenth
century. Of the old there are 130
in existence ; of the new, about 1500.
The yery old and very valuable
manuscripts are only five. Of these
the Alexandrian Codex was 'origin
ally discovered at Alexandria and
was sent to King Charles L in 1628.
It is now in tbe British museum
Nothing is known of the origin of
this, but it is usually assigned to the
middle of the fifth century. It is
much mutilated, twenty-four chap
ters of the first gospel, two of the
fourth and' eight of one ' of . the
epistles being missing. The next is.
the Vatican manuscript, supposed to
have been written : in the fourth
century. A copy of this was never
made till 1868, when a fac simile was
Issued. The condition of thU is
much more perfect. The third
manuscript is that in the national
library at Paris, whither it was
brought by Catherine de Medici.
This had been over-wrltren that is,
the parchment had been used for
other writings; but, spite, of
that, the original has been de
ciphered. It is assigned to 'the
early part of the fifth century:
The fourth manuscript is that now
at Cambrige. This is the least valu
able, as it is much mutilated.1 It be
longs to the sixth century. ' The
manuscript found in 1844 in . the
Convent of St. Catherine, on Mount
Sinai, by Teschendorf, aud copied by
him in 1859, is the most valuable of
the five, as it contains the New Tes
tament complete. This is supposed
to have been written in the fourth
century. None of these most valua
ble authorities were consulted . in
any of . the English versions
of the bible, even in mak
ing that of . King Jame's time.
The Latin Vulgate, the plentiful cur
sive manuscripts and the transla
tions were used. Errors like the
Doxology at tbe end of the Lord's
prayer bad crept into the transla
lions, even into the Assyrian, which
was as old as the second century
The Latin Vulgate was probably an
excellent translation, as it must have
beeu made within a few years of the
death of St John. The changes that
have just been made have only been
made when the weight of authority
left no doubt of their necessity. The
text is not a question of taste,of like
and dislike, but of historic test
raony.

In a memorial addressed to this assem

synodical lines. Having examined the
memorial and considered the facts con
tained therein, your committee are of tbe
opinion that the action taken by last gen

ture, and should be, anu we recommena
that it be, by you reversed. It is clearly
not the province of the assembly to change
or in any way interfere with presbyterial

Wa ara eiad to say, however, that the re
ligions press throughout tbe country ka
been speaking aut boldly against - the
desecration of tbe Sabbath, sot oa) y by-1
ladividnala and corporations, but by the.
government itself. Some have takes the
ground, and we think it tenable, tsat'
there ia practically national legislation i
against tha obearvanc of the- Sabbath. 1
That taut sorarnineat la requiring public
ESMA1
carriers to transmit the United States
maii from point to point, thus compelling
the running of traius, steamboats, etc.,
opens tbe way for public travel, and ne
cessitates the labor of thousands of em
ployees in Sabbath work. All- the otttces
ol these highways are thus necessarily
opened-; corporations to protect them
selves from loss lu ruuuing their machin
ery must also haudle aud carry freight;
and employees to hold position upon
which Uiey are dependent for subsistence
must do the work, for in case of re
fn sal to violate the Sabbath, tbey may
lose their entire support Now, Is the
opinion of your committee s great Chris
tian government ought not, by Its legis
lation, make a ,"touiuiaud of Qod to no
effect," aud If It should continue to do
so, we fear that a worse curse will fall
upon us than upon tbe ancient Jews, wbo
by their condact, did the same thine, and
to correct this evil and avert such direful
calamities, we think the, Christian peo
ple, especially pf this (and, ahpulU, with
one voice, urge the repeal of every law
which virtually compels a violation- of
God's holy day. For diffusion or tUfs
sentiment throughout our own denomina
tion, your committee would recommend
the eyuods and presbyteries to speak out
boldly in favor of the proper observance
ofthe Sabbath. Report adopted.

.London, Ontario, May 2C Tho
number of passengers on board the
steamer Victoria at the tinio of the
disaster is now estimated at 700. a
burden out of all proportion to th
strength and capacity of the vessel.

Cemetery, and when tho boat boc.ua
to rock, the crowd snrired from one
sido to tho other, each rather enjoy
ing tho motion instead of bciu r'iu
auy way alarmed. Tho survivors
stato that numbers of youths ou tl o
upper deck took a delight in kec
iug up the rock ing motion, bv mo
ing from sido to side, ' while
others shouted: "Ijct. her sink,
wo will only.havo to wade ashore."
Il is staled by some, tlioutrh denied
by others, that tho olllcers in i-hargo
endeavored to mdiice tho passen
gers to remain uie. but their ctlorts
wero unavailing. The crowd surged
from sldeto sido with tho movements
of the vessel, measuring the amount
of water ou the lower deck, to the
terror of some and delight of many.
Of those below, few seemed to fore
see the danger. Suddenly the po
sition became alarming, aud wheu
nearly opposite Cave Bridge, tho
water, to tho depth of afoot or more,
rushed into the south sido of the
boat, aud the crowd surged again to
the north, the boat slowly following
the movement by lurching over to
that side. By this time tho vessel
almost turned on her edge, and the
deck floor became elevated to an an
gle uoi far from perpendicular. All
at ouco the supports of the Upper
deck gavo way with a terrible crash,
on account of the uuuatural posi
tion, and tbe great weight imposed
oyer tho ' railings, and tho
icople tumbled iu hundreds
icadlong into the deep water, aud,
to make the situation more terrible,
the whole of the upper deck' and
supports went crashing down ou fhe
wretched victims, tearing and bruis
ing the struggling mass and, engull
ing them in a dreadful watery tomb.
Many bodies, when they were after
wards taken from the water,' Were
found to be terribly -bruised
aud mangled . from the crush
of timber which came down, from
the upper deck, and iu many cases
the' features bore evidence of the
desperate i struggle which " took
place. A visit to the scene showed
the Victoria to be a complete wreck,
the illy-constructed vessel bolug lit
erally broken in pieces. It is said,
on good authority, that tho timber
was not properly secured to the
deck, and that it shifted with the
rockiug of the boat. Hardly, any
portion of tho vessel is visible above
the water.
