Thb revision ot the Old Testa meat will be completed In a few months. It is pertinent to inquire what has become of the revised lew Testament? Instead, of sup planting the old versiou, as was ex pected, it has dropped out of sight as eompletely as If bad been an un successful novel.

Tub dates of retirement of the treueral officers of the army nnder the provlsiou of the act ot August 7, 1882, are as follows ; Gen. Sher man, February 8, 1884; Lieut. Gen Sheridan. June, 1894; laj.

Thb city of Mexico Jwo Republics says that so far but two Mexican newspapers have expressed them selves as opposed to the projected treaty of reciprocity botween the United States and Mexico. The difficulties will occur when it comes to settling the details of the treaty. The question will be what articles Mexico can admit free that are now taxed, without diminishing her revenue enough to deprive her of the ability to meet her obliga tions. tl i It may be anticipated, now. that this wild expenditure of public money by congress will have to Btop after March next The appropria tions for four years have been as follows: Fiscal year, 18H0 f 162.404.67 tfaoal year, 1881 155.880,841 Fiscal year, 181 179.587.tHJ9 Fiscal year, 1883 251,428,117 Average for tea years preced ing 1883 142,603,109 The appropriation of the late ses sion amounted to $108,766,008 more than the avorage for the previous ten years. " Congressman Devsteb, of Wis consin, entertains the sensible idea that "the spoils system," about which so much ia written, is "more the out growth of the absence of a patriotic, and upright exercise of the appoint ing power than ot any lack ot statu, tory enactments and regulations.'' This Is common sense. The approv ed Republican plan is for the "ins' to stay in till they die. But it looks now, as though an early epidemic ot political death will relieve them of their placca. - -A spectacle interesting to every Englishman has just been witnessed In Portsmouth harbor. On the Met of October, every year, Nelson's old ship, the Victory, now nearly 120 years old, Is dressed ia laurels, and her masts once more display the tat tered sails which bear such evidence of the fierce fight at Trafalgar seven ty-sereu years ago. The brass plate upon the quarter deck, with tne In acription "Here Nelson Fell," re oeives an extra polish, aud tho tars ou board solemnly drink to the memories ot those who fell in the greatest naval struggle- England ever had. ' The sample takeu from each bale of cotton In New York for the pur. pose of examination is worth about fire cents, or fifty dollars to the one thousand bales. There 1 wide spread camplaint that these samples are in many instances stolen, and though apparently the amount I8 very small, the total In a year's bus- ics is very largo. The warehouse committee of the Cotton Exchange rccor.mend that the samples shall be weighed by both the weighers for the buyer and the seller, and the weight distlnlly written on the face of the returns made by them. A rule will be established to that effect. The agricultural returns of Ire land for 1882 do not indicate a very ,,,-osperous state of things. The acreage under crops, including ir.eadow and clover, has decreased :nce 1881 by 114,327 acres. The taUl acreage of the country is 20, C .3,763, of which one-half is nnder j nature, one-fourth under crops, and '.nost a fourth left to marsh, fence, ul and water. There has been a iaal diminution of the area un r cultivation for the last twenty :. The country has 184.692 ; r sheep and 90C9 fewer horses s it Lad a year aro; but it has . . ) more pie. S0.WX) more head c 'a and ii,:";6 more poultry. new carrots motesikht. A howl is being raised in certain quarters against a new feature in the cotton trade. It appears that agents of European manufacturers are in Texas in force, buying for the mills, and that bills of lading are given from Interior cities and towns direct to Liverpool or Bremen, with out defay at seaport. The cotton thus bought Is shipped to Galves ton, but, without going into store there, is transferred directly on board vessels in the harbor and car ried abroad. As an evidence of how rapidly this practice Is gaining ground, it is stated that the town of Henderson, which last year shipped 22,000 bales, 20,000 of which went to Galveston factors, will, this year, ship 26,000 to 30,000 bales, only 16 per cent of which will reach the factors; all the root through Galveston direct to Europe. The spinner' agents pay a higher price lor it than the factors can mora to lve. 'inesameimug is to be seen at New Orleans, and tho papers, alarmed at what it must result in, are calling upon the merchants to take lncas ures to hold a trade which threat ens escape. The Timet-Democrat says: "The shipment of cotton direct from the iuterior to vessols loading at our wharves, thus converting New Orleans into a mere w ay or shipping station, deriving little, if any, benefit from compressing or handliug the staple, is a feature of the cotton bus iuess this year which threatens to grow more aud more general The new system is au effort ou the part of the cotton trade to escape tho numerous and excessive charges it is subject to in the seuports. Tho St, IjOviU Re publican commenting up- ou these new features in cotton trade says: "These charges are so burden some it is a wonder measures were not adopted to evade them long ago Oue thing seems certain: either the methods ol doing ouslness, particu larly the cotton business, in our southern cities must be considerably simplified and cheapened, or this trade will become a direct exchange between planters and spinners, aud the factors will be left without vocation." TIIK NEW PRESS SERVICE. Jay Gould failed to get control of the New York associated press, and straightway it is understood he put his finger into the Western, and now it is proposed to give the New York a lively tussle. The splendid tele graphic service we have been get ting for the last ten days is a result of this movement, and we hope it is to mature in permanent benefits to the press ot the entire coun try. The competition will make both the New York and the Western zealous in gathering news. Says a New York lettor writer: I gave two weeks ago a statement of the associated press conflict iu New York, which has been verified rather earlier than I expected, by the sundering of the relations between the New York associated press and the Western association. It is rafber surprising to see the western papers tumbling into an arrangemeut which is so much aided and abetted by Gould. I am not yet certain that thoro will really be anv serious breach between the New York pa pers and the western papers, but it certainly 'does look like it. The western people are spending a good deal ot money uselessly, unless they mean tostick to their guns. But Jay Gould, as president of the Western Union, gives tbeiu more favorable rates ttiau the eastern papers enjoy. and thev in turn agree loieudttieir matter only by the Western Union liues. This the New York and east ern papers will not conseut to do, and this forms one of the reasons why Gould has been so anxious to break up the New York associated press. Another great reason for that wish, of course, it the determined hostility of sucb pa pers as ;be Herald, Sun aud limes He is worried by them, although he pretends not to know anything about it. The western papers are going to work to collect all the news of the country for themselves, and' it they succeed in doing it belter than the New York association can do it, why perhaps they will be able to supply the whole country. The New York associated press claimed a special franchise over the wires of the Western Union, and though repeated efforts have been made by Texas papers to deal wiih the Western associate press the New York press has prevented any trans mission of news over these wires. Gould obtained a controlling inter est in the Western Union, and now if he has really made terms with the Western ssociated press the Texas newspapers will soon be served entirely by the Western press, which gathers news better suited to Texas than that which is gathered in the east. The news association ot editors of leading daily papers in Texas, referred to a few days ago, moves in the direction of securing permanently the western report. An organ ization of this nature was ef fected three years ago, and satis were agreed upon with the western press when the New York company threatened to enjoin and thus stopped the proposed service. The company chartered three years ago is the one now operating, and nego tiations pendiug, it is hoped, will soon be definitely settled. In the meantime the Statesman gets both t lie .Mew lorkanutne western re ports. The follow iug; lucid and logical paragraph from the pen of Hon. David A.Wells will set the average southerner right as to the attitude ,be should assume toward a protec tive tariff. Says Mr. Wells : "If now yon pursue the scheme which by taxation increases the prices of your machinery, tools, transportation, clothes, leather, iron, steel, etc- yon to tbat extent neutral ize your natural advantages which are your natural protection. lr you will put sufficient duty on pig iron to enable a man in Pennsylvania or elsewhere to realize a profit on an iron furnace located where it has few natural advantages, he will not go to you: he will stay where he Is. But if you cut off the artificial protection, he will then a&k himself, where can I find natural protection? An experience auBwers in northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee, where, by reason or cheap coal and iron, pig iron can bo mde for from $11 to $14 per ton, in place or $20 to $25 per ton at the north. And so of cottou; your cheap fibre is to you natural protection wbich no tariff can wholly destroy, but which it may in part neutralize by making the machinery, oil, leather, eta, necessary to work it unnecessarily costly. , Alt ABIDIKS FAITH. There is a similarity between the political contests of 1874 and those of 1882. There was then an earuest de mand for reforms, and the issue was made up against the corruption of the Republican party. Congress be came Democratic under the press ure and in 1876 Tilden was elected president. Impressed with the pop ular verdict, the Hayes administra tion, itself the product of barefaced fraud, made a pretence ot bringing about a better ordsr of things. It covered itself with the mask of de cency and managed to conceal its shortcomings for a seasou. Yet, it was no better tbau its immediate predecessor, for uuder it the gi gantic star route swindles were coudoned, and it was not until Garfield entered the white house that the real character of Hayes' regime became known. Gar field owed his election maiuly to tho belief of numerous deceut Republi cans that ho would coinpreheud bis duties and that he had the power as well as the will to perforin them ; but he made his shore administra tion a purely personal one, and died leaving the people to understand that its continuance would have becu stormy aud full of signal fail ures. At this time there is nothing in Arthur's adminis tratiou to give the faintest hope of relief. The star route prosecution, as said by a cotemporary, was a tra vesty on justice. His surrcuder of Virginia to the domination of Ma hone rivals the complaisance of Nero, when Rome was wasting, flu subversion of the will of the Repub licans of New York smacks of a dic tatorship repuguaut to every free citizen of the republic. In truth, the fact stands out in bold relief that the need of reform is as pressing to-day as in 1876, and furthermore the spirit of bossism is personified in the man who directs the machine from the white house. Thoughtful people cannot shut their eyes to these facts, and accordingly tbey have resolved to face the issue aud press it to a successful settle menu Now or never must reform be obtained, is the conviction of every man who perceives the ueed of it Taxation mu9t be lowered to a jn&t basis, and expenditures cut down The public service must be raised to a business standard. Leaks must be stopped ; the lobbyists and jobbers rebuked ; aud public servants be made to feel that their positions are trusts, aud not gifts to be used for personal ends. The people are de terminod that their wishes 6hall be respected. As is truthfully said, they have trusted the Republican party, aud even allowed it to sot at uaughl their choice for the chief mag istracy. They can trust Radicalism no longer. Many of its votaries have lost faith in it. The sole remedy of the people is. to restore Democ racy to power, not only in the states but in the federal gorernment Once restored, it will have the oppor tunity to again vindicate its profes sions, wbich have never changed. To it we may look with abiding faith. WHEN THIEVES FALL OCT. The honest people of the country aud of Texas are getting their dues. and no wonder, for the most dia bolical sets of political sharks com bined against' tbem tbat ever entered into any sort of co-opera tion. They agreed to co-operate, but not being bound together by any principle except tbat of plunder, bad faith ensued. Here is what the Sau Antonio Light, under the head "Was There Treachery?" says about a villainous combination : The vote ot Bastrop. Travis. Wil liamson and Burnet counties begins to make it look as if there was treachery and deceit practiced by the Greenbackers in those counties toward Gov. Davis. The Republi cans made a lair deal witn tne Greenbackers. The candidacy of Gov. Davis was a pledge to Jones that the Republicans in the state would ive him their undivided support, and In return Gov. Davis should have received the entire vote of Wash. Jones in the teuth district. Some suspicions got afloat before the election day, bnt they were choked down. Had Gov. Davis spoken the word a word that wonld have flashed with the speed ot the lightning over the state Col. Jones would bave round btmseir leading forlorn little baud of impracticable politicians iustead ot a host of peo ple, with s prospect of victory. Col. Jones failed to cay a word to his fol lowers to stand by Davis ; how does this contrast with the course pur sued by Gov. Davis, who stood firm ly and gallantly to his word, and gave Col. Jones bis strength over tbe state, ir Jones polls a heavy vote in Texas it is because the Re publicans were faithful to Davis. Tbe defeat of Davie shows that Jones was not faithful to the Repub licans. It is a long lane that has no turn lug. Here are the specific declarations as to a trade. We do not pretend to say it was entered into by the mass es of those parties who opposed De mocracy, but it was a trade between the leaders, between George Washington Jonei and E. J Davis, and we bave more respect for Mr. Davis, who stuck to the contrac t, tban for Mr. Jones, who, when be found himself among followers who never intended to vote for Mr. Da vis, and who would not have voted for him even had Jones urged them to do so, played false to the compact. We look on this trade as we did on the one between Mr. Garfield and Mr. Conkling a trade made in in famy, but showing personal baseness in its non-fulfillment. Mr. Jones should have urged his political friends to vote for Mr. Davis. That would have been honesty in one sonse, and Mr. Jones would have thereby preserved for him. self that friendship which has given him political success twice, and wbich this time gave him seventy or eighty thousand votes. Mr. Davis put him in congress twice. Had be not given him the Republican rote of the old fifth dis- trict, Jones' vote would, each time have shown his utter weakness. In this last election Jones' vote would havo been utterly iusigulficant had not tbe Republican vote, seventy or eighty thousand strong iu Texas, been riven bim by Mr. Davis. The tradwas certainly made, and when it was on the basis of four votes supplied by Mr. Davis to oue originally belonging to Mr. Jones, the latter should have carried out the coutract to the very letter. When Jones was in Bastrop and Burnet counties, where the Greenbackers hate Mr. Davis, he should bave labored to break up this antagonism. This would have been honesty, and any honest divis ion even between thieves who break into houses aud rob, between high waymen who murder for money, is one degree of honesty. Thieves di vide their ill-gotten gains just as po litical highwaymen should divide, upon the stipulations ot a contract. Mr. Jones told Mr. Davis be would deliver him the Greenbackers to vote for bim for cougress, in re turn for Republican votes for him self for the governorship. Mr. Da vis performed his part of the con tract; Mr. Jones did not. Jones did not dare attempt what he had promised; he topk Mr. Davis' contri bution, but diduot return payment therefor as agreed upon. There were two reasons for this. Jones knew that to advocate Davis before the Grocnbackers of Bastrop, Wil liamson aud Buruet counties would make these men abaudon him. Ho had promised what be knew he could not fulfill, and hence his conduc t towards his benefactor was more repreheusible than it wise would otherwise have been. To allay any suspicion in tbe minds of huso Greenbackers, he even abused Mr. Davis before them; aud thus be performed his part of a coutract. Were we uow driven to sustain one or tho other of these two men, it would be Mr. Davis. Had we beeu forced to sustain Mr. Garfield or Mr. Conkliug, attcr tho former had exercised treachery to wards tho latter, we should cer tainly have given sustenauce to sir Coukling. who performed his part of a coutract, and who naturally expected Mr. Garfield to do, iu re turn, what he had promised. There is a code even among tho most de praved thieves, aud to-day the Fords are held in supreme couteropt, be cause they betrayed Jesse James, tbe bandit. The highwaymau's death was not regretted, but the total de pravity of those who had shared tho proceeds of robbery with him and then betrayed him is recoguizod. So it is iu this political coutest, that has just closed. Republicans can not but have the most supreme con tempt for Joues for his faithless ness and his double dealing, and others recognize tbe justice of such sentiment among them. A PROPOSITION TO STATES. SOUTHERN The Manufacturers aud Mechani cal Institute of Now England in vites the governors of all the south ern states to make an exhibit of ag ricultural products aud resources of their states at the third annual fair of the institute, to be opened in Bos ton the first week in September 1883, to continue until some time in November. It is stated that the pur pose of the proposed exhibitiou is to afford au opportunity to all those states aud territories which wish for settlers from the north to present in practical shape examples of the pro ducts of tbe soil, illustrative of its adaptability to the various branches of plauting, farming and horticul ture. The uow railway system of the great west will be invited to make a similar exhibition at tbe in stitute, tbat the north may thus be come for tho time beiug the arena in which the south and west may compete with each other for that surpluB population which yearly leaves New England in search of homes elsewhere. The invitation is forwarded at this early day that governors may have ample time to cousider the subject aud to make such suggestions hereon to legisla tures as 'may be deemed appro priate. As to the powers ot this institute, it is represented that it pos sesses the corporate authority to co operate with the people of any por tion of the United States, in any en terprise likely to result in mutual benefit and to develop the resources of any portion of the country ; and the attempt has been to carry out this policy iu its broadest and most liboral sense. Au official circular says: "With the legal power, with the most willing spirit and with very considerable facilities at com maud, the institnte extends an invi tation to all who engage in the ad vaucement of the interests of the country to avail themselves of the opportunities offered by it and to make this into a national institution pledged to subserve the advance ment of all." A gentleman who takes a deep interest in the proposed exhibit on the part of southern states, writes tbat this in vitation to 80utnern iarmers is a result of the cotton exposition of 1881, besides additional interest in all that relates to the southern cli mate, resources and business oppor tunities created by the splendid ex hibits made this year at the second annual fair ot the institute by the Richmond and Danville, the Vir ginia, Tennessee and Georgia air line, and by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway 'companies. The ce reals in the collections of the first two companies have been seen by thousands of northern agricul turists, who express an ardent desire to learn more of the characteristics of the regions where grain of such extraordinary weight can be grown. Capitalists also, who wish to invest money in various industries for which the timbers and minerals of the south are a guarantee of an am ple supply of the raw materials need ed, wish to know more than they now do ot the capacity of the soil for supporting a numerous population employed in other vocations than agriculture. The States- man has no doubt that a proper representation on the part of Texas at Atlanta would have been of great benefit to Texas. Our products, agricultural and natural, should be shown to the world ; and from such exhibits a rich reward would be obtained. A few thousand dollars, so spent annually at the great fairs of this country would create an interest that would return millions for thousands. The manufacturers of New England, in seeing what we have, would neces sarily be led to put money in Tex as and thus would create taxable re turns that would at once repay to the state many times more than its expenditures. Not only should ex hibits be made at Boston, but, wbeu opportunity presents, at other places Let us capture wealth from all the states by demonstrating our incom parable resources. Tfe ikera Cation iTIannfstc- tariee. TLe New York Shipping Liat says : Cotton manufacturing at the south is making rapid headway, in spite of me preaicuou a tew years ago that thet section ot country would never be able to compete with New Eu gland in this branch of industry. Tbe natural advantages of the south over the north in tbe produc tion of tbe heavier varieties of cut ton goods are admitted by practical manufacturers to be from ten to twenty per cent. The chief essen tials aro a salubrious climate, relia ble aud cheap power, cheap labor, accessibility to the raw material, prompt aud cheap transportation and skillful management. Experi ence has shown tbat the climate is peculiarly adapted to the manufac ture of cottou. It is claimed that more and better goods can be pro duced iu an atmosphere hav ing a uniform humidity of sixty.fi ve or seventy per cent tban in tho higher latitudes. The southern atmosphere beiug soft and balmy, tbo cotton works easily aud smoothly, and without the difficulty experienced iu ninny otber localities from electricity, which has to bo corrected by steam and other arti ficial means. Goods produced at tbe south have a peculiarly soft and smooth appear auce, which iu xnxoy localities ha to be brought out by swue fluULiug process after they are made. The mildness- of the winter is buc.1i iliut little artificial heat n needed to niuUe the inills comfortable, while the heat iu summer is not great enough to render them less efficient. W:iler power in mo6t ol the south ern states H abuudaut aud re liable at all seasons of tbe year, besides beiug easily con trolled. The absence of auy consid erable accumulation of ice iu winter dispenses with mauy expensive con trivances required in the colder cli mate of the northern states. Nat ural granite formations at all water falls furnish permanent foundations without the expense of piling and concreting. There is iu the whole south a population of natives pecu liarly suited to make efficient and skillful operatives. Living beiug cheap makes labor cheap, aud while southern operatives live comforta bly, the wages paid them are less than is absolutely uecessary for the subsistence of those in colder coun tries, where houses are necessarily mare expensive, as well as fuel aud clothing. The water powers are located in the midst ot tbe cotton fields, and a large part of the cotton consumed may be bought direct from the. producer. A very material advantage is that it comes direct, from tho gins, is clean, has not been compressed for shipment, and, as a consequence, works mnch better and easier and makes much less waste and better goods. Facilities for transportation to market by meaus of railways are being rapidly multiplied. The de mand tor the styles of gooda made at tbe south is at present sufficient to take all that are made, and the demand is constantly increasing. For the present it is for the interest of the southern manufacturers to confine themselves to the produc tion of the heavier yarns and fabrics. A well built aud organized mill ot 10,000 to 20,000 spindles at the south makes a net profit upon the capital stock of 15 to 20 per cent, while some mills earu more. It is evident, from the increased attention given to this industry by the southern press, that there is a genuine awak ening in that section relative to the establishment of cotton mills. Attentions t be Paid Him. Dallas Times. Had the Republicans elected Och iltree, it would have been all right, but when so-called Democrats, because of their aristocratic mo nopoly tendencies, beat tbe straight Democratic candidate, they should be rebuked In some shape. Where Ochiltree's influence is to come in we can't see, for he certainly never had even the social respect of sucb men as usually constitute con gressmen, and in addition to this, was always against the people of Texas, when tbey were being op pressed. But. then if Grant hap pens in Washington' City at the same time with tho editor of the New or the shoddy Strand mer chant, Tom can introduce them, and this is what is expected of him. Con gress will be overwhelmingly Dem ocratic, and they will pay about as much attention to Tom as they do to tbe congressional bootblack or page. Ida Burke, a Chattanooga, Ten nessee, girl, went to Griffin, Georgia, to marry a fellow named Derrick. After her arrival Derrick refused to become a Benedict, and cast the girl upon the town. An alleged benefactor, in the shape ot a man named Howard, agreed to take her back home, bnt stopped over at Atlanta and placed the girl in a house ot ill-repute, preparatory to effecting her ruin. She was rescued, however, by friends and returned safely home. WASHINGTON. NEWS GATHERED ABOUT THE CAPITAL. ninlster Racelycd. Washington. Nov. 14. President Arthur to-day received Louis L.
