Every Tan who has been attached to Conkling from pure conviction should contrast his present puerile position with the manly conduct of the President, and be governed by the lesson that contrast teaches, Tho President has defended his constitutional prerogative, and assured to all shades of Republicansa full mensuro of consideration. Huving done so, he does not permit resentment for Conkling’s conditct to Influence him any more than ho did Conkling’s previous course of intimida- tlon, fr is understood that Mr. Conkling objects to the name “Stalvarts,” ns applied to his immediate adherents in the Empire State.

Wo are not in- formed ns to whether tho ex-Senator has sugeested © more appropriate and disti...tlve title for his new party. His adversaries are called ‘Foathorhends.” We bog modestly to suggest that the opponents of the Fenther- heads be called “Pencocktalls.’ The pea- cock is a splendid bird. Its head is adorned with ‘a crest of the most exquisit green and gold.” But its distinguishing fenturo Is Its “train,” or tall, This beautiful tall fs “all spangled with oyes,’ whose focus is the green and gold creat on tho bird's head; ond in requital of the devoted adula- tion of the “eyes” In the tall, the pencock, ever strutting slowly back and forth, turns his crested head constantly toward the elrelo of admiring eyes, gazing tenderly on the varied benuttes of his own tail, Formerly the poncock was much venerated, “ for some- times,” so history records, “with the Holy Virgin, vows were addressed to it by chival- rous knights.” Zodlogists declare that tho peacock “always roosts high and {s 9 quar relsome bird.” We con Iinagine ox-Senator Conkling re- marking in hfs proud and lofty way, {n deep, sonorous tones: “When asked where wo Peacocktalts hail from, we always reply: we hail from Indig’s coral strand; we wero brought to Palestine by the tleots of Solomon, whence we emigrated to Europe at an carly period, and thence to Virginia in the ships of the guy, sprightly, warlike, brave, generous, haughty, disdaluful cayallers; wa are quar relsome birds, and we roost hifgh |” ‘Three cheors for the Pencocktatls! ———————— A CURIOUS AGREEMENT OF VIEWS, President Garfleld and Senator Conkling nro now so far apart that it would scarcely bo supposed that tholr views on any matter connected with the Ctvil Service would agree, It may be shown, however, that onch of these gentlemen, speaking for himself at a time when no personal interest was at stake, ex- pressed substantially tne same views in re- gard to tho relatlons between tho Executive and.Congress os to the appointing power, In on article which appeared In the Atlantic Monthty of July, 1871, Garileld wrote: In tho tnnin tho balancoof poworssondmirably adjusted and distributed among the three grout dopartments of tho Goveramont hus boun safu- i It was the purpose of our fathers to lodge absolute power nowhere, to luaye ouch departinent independent within its own sphere, i {nu overy caso reaponaslbie for the exercise of te discretion, Hut some dangerous Innovations bave been inade, And first, the appointing powor of tho Dres- idont his been seriously euornached upon by Congress, or rather re thé mombers of Congress, Curfously cnough thie encroachmont originated iu the act of theChief Excoutive hiinself, . 6 .

Garfleld In the above extract, At all events, the Con- greaslonal Record of January, 1873, prints a speech made by Senator Conkling in tha Sen- ate, In which occurs the following passage: Tho Proaident has been made tho object of gross assault because he would not yletd to dee Wands domutimes sordid and witiful touching “patrogage,” and tha purest publlo administra tor bus been oxpoysd to suspicion of abusing the appointug power for personal ends,» .

Both these extracts will sorve as thnely commentaries on the present controversy te tween Garfield and Conkling. Each was wrlt- ten several years ago, and henes may bo fairly accepted as impartial and candi so far ng the presont altuation }s concerned, Ex- Senator Conkiing’a present position could not be more polntedty deseribed than by the weture he then drew of an Intriguing Con- gresstonnl ofMfice-broker, whilo President Garfleld ts now acting upon a conviction of long standing, which he had reached ato tlie when he hat probably never sertously thought of becoming President of the United States, Inn comparison of viows with prac- tice, President Carfleld certainly appears to the better advantage. THE REMOVAL OF MERRITT. Tho one weak point {1 the position taken by President Garfletd In regard to the Nev York patronago has. been the displacement of Merritt ns Collector, to make room for Robertson, ‘This net has been commented upon unfavorably, even by thosa who are In- clined to bo friendly to the Administration and have no sympathy with Conkling's acheming. Conkling himself sought to trade upon the clreumstance In his letter to Gov, Cornel}. It {gs possible, nevertheless, that Merritt's retirentont at the requost of Presl- nent Garflold did not Involve 4 breach of the principles of Clvil-Service reforin, There are two theories nt least whereby the change enn bo justified, one or the other of which is pretty likely to be correct. It may be that-Mr, Merritt was not dis- placed without cause, which, while suMetont to justify the change, did not warrant are moval under the tenure-of-oltice law. It has been hinted that Mr, Merritt, who has now been in oflee two years, lind permitted tho yast patronage of the New York Custom- House to bainituenced by Mr, Conkling and his agents suflictently to suit thelr purposes. Atall events, Mr. Conkling’s previous prac- tices in regard to ClyilService reform sugmest that he would not have made such strenttous opposition to Merritt’s retirement if Merritt, as Collector, had set his faco against such polltieat uso of Ils office ns would subserve Conkling’s personal Interest. Conkling fs not In the hnbit of defending men who have been oven indifferent to his fortunes, If Merritt, elthor with the purpose of conciliation or by allowing himself to be overrenched, has permitted Conkling to exercise nll the influence over the Now York Custom-Ilouse which was necessary to tho * Boss” Seuntor, then that was an abundant reason for achange, Tho Now York Custom-Houso Is an institution which ought not to be run in any degree ny atenderton political machine, and itis to the common futerest of the whole country that protection against Conkling's influence should bo assured. Perhaps this was Presl- dont Garfleld’s motive in substituting Rub- ertson for Merritt, F Another theory, whieh is In koeping with what has already boon suggested, is, that Mr. Merritt was entirely willing to exchange the oflies of Collector for the position of Consul- General at London, which ranks higher in distinction {f not In importance, in case such an exchange would assist tha President in tho embarrassing task of distributing tho offices. In that advent, the retirement, or rathor tho exchange, of one oficer to make room for another of equal or greater officlency cannot ba fairly treat- ed as an Infraction of Clyvil-Sorvice reform, Cwrtalnly Mr. SMorritt “hus “given every evidence of bulng entirely satisfed with the exchange that has been made, and in all tho dispute that has grown out of such exchange no one ins raised u question a3 to the fitness of Judge Robertson for tho posi- tion to which he has been nppointed, Whatovor the verdict of an exacting Civil- Service reformer may be on tho substitution of Robertson for Merritt befora the expira- tion of the latter's term, Mr. Conkling Js estopped from making capltal out of the clr- cumstance for two rensons—viz.: (1) Be- enuse he has made « common practice of using office for political and porsonal onds to the extent that any President would indulgo, withont any regard whatever to tho rights or claiins of those to be displaced ; and (3) be- cause, in this yory case, he had already ns- sented to Morritt's removal, and even urged. {t, in order to make rvom for ono of his own henchmen,—Joln F. Sinythe,—whom ho de- sired to place as his proxy in the New York Custom-louse. In view of theso frets, It {3 simply impertinent for Mr. Conkling to eritlelse the retirement of Morritt on Civil- Service principles, it was simply a question In Conkling’s mind how he could secure to himself thd greatest amount of Influence over the Custom-llouse, Lf he could havo had Merritt remoyed to make room for Sinythe or some other trusted servant of his own he would have approved and sustained his removal, It was not that ho desired to keop Morrltt in, but beeausy he wanted to keep Robertyon out, that he innde his fight agalust the Administration, nd ‘ THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT, Inuday o: two tho new revisud verston of the Testament will bo In Chicago, and tho readers and lovers of the noblest book In any language will Lave an opportunity to com pare tho two versions and decide to which they give tholr allegtance, In spiteof the sacred character of the book, tha scramble for copies of It In Now York scems highly amusing, and would linpress Oliver Gold- sinith’s Chinaman with the idea that the peo- ple of that somewhat ungodly elty had alt suddenly experienced n change of heart and were determined that uot a moment of tine should escape thom, not only tnscarching for tho Scriptures, but In searching through thom. Crowds were on hand as ' enr- ly os 1 o'clock In the morning to obtain them, and bogksellers have or dored thousands upon thousands of coples, s0 confident sre thoy of a rush for them, though aware of tho faut that ina few days at farthest cheap fifteen-cent reprints of it from a dozen publishing houses will Hood the market, and thut tho public demand will bo attracted thithorward rather than to the more costly editions, It is not !kely that this tremendous rush {fs the result of doyo- tlon so much agit 1s of curlogity, Ungoubt- edly there are many poople who. want to compare the old and new versions and .mark tho dliferences, though (tummy not influence them In thelr selection, If there are uo es- sential differences between thom, then It isa mintter of little consequence which one Is used. Dr, Schaff, who was the Chairman of the American Committee of Revision, and who ought to be thoroughly acquainted with the merits of the work, afilrma that those who expect radical changes will be disappointed; that no artlele of faith 1s changed or any pre- copt of duty shaken; and that tho great musa of readors and hearers will hardly be able to deteot the differences, “All the great doo- trinea,” says the Doctor, “upon which tho Christian denominations are agreed romaln as before, while all denumtnations will continue to appeal to the Bible for mlnor differences which svuparate them.” If thls be so, than the work of the revisers must have been of a merely rhetorical and grammatical kind, consisting of ultcrativns of dictlon, reforms in granumar, substitutionsot words, and shift- Ings of moods and tenses, Tit even in this remurd the eritles are not agreed thatapy ime provement ling beon made upon the old ver ston, The London Standard rather savage mitions of diction of tho old veraton In volving no gain ih sense, or a reareely percept- ible one, swarm {0 tho rovieed edition, and in ale moat. ovory Instanco.it fa {mpossiblo not to feel that the original transtations, howovor inferior fo those of the ptesbnt revisers In prociea ant oxhnuative scholarship, textunl or genernl, wore Iniinitly their superiors in the rare and precious artof writing musical and mascuiine Enytish prose, Hal thoy ptirged tho snered text of errors which had crept inte it, and placed, where it was necesanry, tho yarlorum roading In tho inurgin, they would have performed i ueeful and neceptable work. Hut. in nn eifort to attain tho dry and moroly mechanical necurney of exe reasion, thoy have go revised tha noblest book in the English Inngungo ns to deprive it of mitct of Its bentuty, nnd they have destroyed many of its historical associations. Conceding that no radical changes have been inde, and that the great doctrines re main Intnet, and that the dliference is only ong of rhetorle and grammar, the prinetpal obstacle, wo conceive, in tho use of the new version will be. tho personal associations which eluster about the old. Tho old family Bibles whieh have been handed down from another to son through generations will con- tinue to be regarded with an alfectlonate reve erence which the. sew ones cannot attract, however handsome they may be In print or brave in binding, ‘hoe familiar old texts which through hundreds of years, gencra- tlon after generation, liave been learned in childhood and treasured to Intest old age will look like strangers In their new: diction, Men and women will reluctantly give up the homelike words of the Lord’s Prayor or tho sonorous and majestic declarations of Pau}, ortho solemn diction of Our Savior, which hnve been’ so deeply tmpressed upon their hearts and have been se often iterated that they have become a habit of life, They will not willingly abatiton the solemn nsso- ciations that attneh to thom. ‘The daughter will eling to the quotations of her mother; the son will cherish tho favorit toxts of the father, In the words that lips long allent wero accustomed to use, Early teachings exort the greatest influence, because they become ingratned in ‘one’s Hfe aud character, and what is longest remembered dates back to childhood, The changes of the Bible will be regarded by many as would an attempt to adapt the familiar ond endearing lan- minge of tho home circle to tho pe- dantie and exnet demands of modorn scholar- ship, or a change of diction In old moss- Rrown proverbs or of the themes of old Jogends which ara the common property of avery home, The children of the coming gencration, not yet familiarized with its texts and having no associations connected with thom, and tho generations succeed ing thom, will find no diflleulty in adopting them, but the young and old men and women of to-day, after thotr curiosity fs satisfied, will bo very likely to return to the old Biblo which has guided them thus far, and is good enough to cheer, comfort, console, and guide them to thdend. Fortunately, no edict can enforey tho use of the new version or mike it binding in any way. Each person, after comparing them, will decido for hhinself, and we have no doubt when the decisions are nade that tho old familiar Bible will remain In genoral use, at lenst among those to whom time and assuclation have endenred It, ———_—— A PRECEDENT FOR CONKLING'S SUICIDE. In 1840 the State of North Caroling was represented In the United States Senate by two Democratic Senators, and both mon of ability. ‘The one was Senator Bedford Brown, who was originally slected in 1820, and was sorving the Inst year of his second term, which would expiro March 3, 1841. ‘I'he other was Senator Robert Strange, who was elected to the Senate In: 1897, and whose term would not oxplre until March 8, 1813, In the winter of 1850-40 the Whigs had a majority In both branches of the Legisiature of North Carolina,’ but the Whigs did not approve of the doctrine of Stato instruction of Senators. Brown and Strange wero both known to bo bellovors in that doctrino, Tho Whigs thercupon framed a series of resolu- tlons in which thoy expressed the Inability of the State of North Carolinn to approve or indorae tho yotes of the two Sonators from that State, and genernily expressed 9 con- domnation of their Sonatorial policy, "Theso resolutions were adopted in January, 1810, that being the Janunry befora tho Presl- dentin! election at which Mr. Van Buren was a candidate for reflection, nad Mr Brown and Mr. Strango resigned, the Demo- cratic majority in the Senate would be lost by their retlremont and the humediate clec- tlon of two Whigs. Messrs, Brown and Strange inmnediately.notiiied the North Caro- lina Legislature that they belleved In the doctrine of Snstructions, and If the Legis- lature would change thelr resolutions Into Ine strnotions the two Senators would lmmediate- ly respund by resigning or by obeying the in- structions, The Legislature declined mating any such change, and thus thea matter stood until June 90, whon each of the Senators addressed a long letter to the Legislature of North Carollnn, which was to meet on the third Monday of November, 1810, and In which they resigned thelr seats in the Senate, tu take effect that day. In tholr address both Senators deny that the resulutions wero in tho nature of Instructions, or that they wore Intended to bo such, Mr, Brown Infd tt down as the lnw “that when the Legislature by resolutions of Instruction, command their will to be done touching public measures, all turther responsibility Is romoved from the Senator, and the vote which he glyes {s the vote of tho Legtstature.” Whilo he was not instructed, and therefore not bound to elthor resign or obey, still from an anxious destro -to submit his publio'courge to the decision of the people of tho State, ho resigued, snying that he would have dono so at an earlier date if an vlection hnd sooner Interv ened. Senator Strange lald down substantially tho same doctrine on the ground of tha duty of Senators to obey Inatructions or rosign. Senator Brown left three months of his torm unexpired, and Senator Strange loft two yoars and three months of his term, ‘ Both Senators were confident of balng re- elected; they had no doubt that the people of North Carolina were impatient to send them back covered with glory as thelr own suc- cessors, Tho. campaign In North Carolina that year wagon antmated one, The Legis Inture elected by the people was Whig in both branchea, and Messrs. Brown and Strange had thote resignations accepted by a popular acclaim, They were succeeded in the Senate by Mr, Manguln for the long term of six years and three months, and by Mr, Graham, afterwards candidate for Vico- President, tor the two years aud three months term, é Mr, Conkling’s stupid proceeding and ‘his merciless sacrifice of poor Platt, has this somewhat ancient precedent, that ls, [t fs a preeedunt in haying two Senators resign their seats under a conviction that the Inde- pendent people of their State and of the country would rise up and demand thelr re- election; and, furthor, ag a+ precedent, that both the resigning Senators were ignomin- lously defeated. ‘Tothis we may add, not as & propheoy, but historically, that Mossra.
