XYIVCII LAW IN VIRGINIA. Some Points of Difference The King James Version Not to be materially Changed. New York Sun. The revision of the English Bible un dertaken by the Convocation' of- Cafl2 teibury, England, in 1870; has now so far proceeded that the revised New Testament will.le copyrighted this au tumn. In two or three years more the Old Testament will be completed, and a few years Liter the Apocrypha will be ready for the press. The revision is in the hands of a commission of clergy men and scholars, representing differ ent Protestant denominations, and this English board submits its work as it progresses to a similar commission in the United States for criticism and suggestion. On. Sunday evening, the Rev. Dr. Schaff, a member of the American ad visory commission, gave a history ot the origin of ihe movement for a revi sion of the Bible, and explained the principles on which the revision is con ducted. It is not to be a new version of the Scriptures. The idiom and vo cabulary of the King James Version, which we now use, and the text of which in the two centuries and a half, and morej of its existence lias come to have a sacred character in the minds of so many millions of people, will be carefully retained. The new liible will not be a modern book in its garb of lan guage, but will retain the verbal pecu liarities and the forms of expression of 1(511, when the present authorized ver sion was made. Only such changes will be allowed as seem necessary in the view oi the revisers to biing out more literally and clearly the meaning of the original texts. No board of revision could expect the countenance of English-speaking Chris tians if they failed to adopt such a con servative policy, and to carry it out with the greatest caution, and even timidity. Our English Bible as it ex ists, and as it has existed during the period of the development of English literature, has become an English book with an individuality of its own, a work whose flavor. would not be recognized if the ancient texts were translated anew with the am or i,ue vasuy larger vocabulary we now possess. This would give the volume such a wrench from its place in literature as Shakespeare would suffer if he were translated into the language of our essay and newspaper writers ot toiay, The iwusn liiuie is venerated by English-speaking Chris tians in its actual torm, ana it tnat was essentially altered it would be a new and strange book, howsoever great might be the improvement in the aocu raov and olearness of the translation. Even this revision is anticipated with fear. Though it wa8 undertaken with so careful a regard for the prejudices of those who can recognize what they believe to be inspiration only in the ta miliar language of the existing version, it already finds resolute opponents among the devout readers, of the King James Bible. Bishop Coxe , of Western New Yar& is one ' of these, and many others' resent the idea of altering that version, even in the direotxon ot palpa ble improvement only, as little less than a sacrilege, When a very partial revision of the standard Bible was made for the Amer- Page Wallace Taken from tbe Offi cers and HoHf and His Body Then Riddled with Bullets. Point or Rocks, Md., Feb. 17 Page Wallace, colored, 25 years of age, who j committed a brutal outrage on January j 28th, on the person, of a white woman named Mary Marmon, 40 years of age, Hying in Loudoun county, Virginia, near the Potomac river, while she was returning from Point of Rocks, was to day taken from the officers of the law, at the point where he committed the outrage, by a body of armed mn and hanged. Wallace was arrested near Shepardstown-, on February 2d, and committed to Hagerstown jail. Yei terdav Sheriff Caruthers and Deputy Sheriff Nixon, of Leesburg, Va, arrive d in Hagerstown with a requisition fcr "Wallace from the Virginia authoritie, amd left with him by the 3.10 p. m. train. Wallace seemed rather nervous when he boarded the tram, but afterwards re covered his composure and smoked a cigar. Cartfthers and Nixon arrived at Washington Junction, one mile from the Point of Rocks, this afternoon, at 5.36 o'clock, with Wallace, Jailor Nixon being handcuffed to the prisoner, and on the way from the depot to the ferry they were followed by a large crowd. On arriving at the ferry the officers and prisoner were rowed -to the Virginia shore, followed by a half-dozen boats containing about "thirty or forty per sons. As the officers stepped on shore they were met by about 30 ov more men with handkerchiefs tied over their faces. The crowd then seized the offi cers and disarmed them, procured the key and unlocked Nixon from the prisoner. The orhcers aid everything in their power to protect their prisoner, but it was ot no avail. He was seizea md taken to the spot where the out rage on Mrs. Marmon was committed. A rope was put around his neck, lie was allowed to get on his knees, and made a short prayer. The rope was then thrown over a limb of a small sycamore tree, and in the twinkling of an eye he was launched into eternity. Just at this moment a woman rushed through the crowd, pistol in hand, and .fired three or four shots into his body. This was the signal for the, crowd to commence firing in rapid succession, and his body was filled with bullets. The crowd then quietly dispersed. Sheriff Caruthers and Jailor Nixon soon after were released, and departed in a hack for Leesburg. A Word About Presidential Can didates. Philadelphia Times. Colonel John W. Forney delivered his popular lecture on "Some of the Public Men I have Known," last even ing, at Trinity M. E. church, Eighth street, above Race. At the close, Colo nel Forney referred to the more promi nent presidential candidates, saying: ".None of them have been much at- flicted with great ancestral names. Grant was a tanner after he became a soldier: Blaine waa an editor before he became a statesman ; Sherman was a poor boy in a lawyer's office befoie he got into Congress ; Tilden made his own way by hard study and genuine shrewdness ; Bayard was intended for a country merchant before he read law; Hancock came of a poor farmer's tamily in Montgomery county, Pa.; General McClellan was the son of a great father, but never had a fortune of his own. Here are the most of your candidates, ladies and gentlemen. Yen. know I have my own choice, I bean with Grant twenty-one years affo, and I am not going o leave him now. And you hYe yovu preference, It Is a con soling reflection that any one of these men is not qualified to be President of the United States, hut will honestly disoharge its duties. Our country is too big to be broken by any one man. Born of God, it will be protected by God, It is past the point ot danger and will ride through every storm, no mat ter who holds the helm.

But such a change can never take place without sharp, and protracted contro versy. Jt . It is easy to forecast the arguments which will be used against it, and, from the point of view of those who will use them and of those to whom they may be addressed, they cannot fail to have force. A new Bible, it will be urged, with the provocation to criticism, ftf the old it will produce, must tend, tu dimin ish the sanctity of fatf aacred volume. The Bible wiU'ooine to be regarded and weighed like any other book, as the skeptics now wish it to be estimated, and with competing and varying ver sions, the Scriptures will gradually lose that place in the yeneyauou ot utc iu which a standard and unaltered edition has helped to elevate them.

John E, Poindexter was carried out to the peni tentiary this afternoon about half-past five, in a close carriage, with the deputy city sergeant a,oconipanied by two of his brothers. The sergeant followed in the rear with Angela Baccigolup, under sentence of eight years for attempting to murder his wife, to whom he had been married a fw weeks. When near the penitentiary Baocigolup jump ed out of the buggy, and, being unfet tered, fled. In attempting, to escape he iumned into the canal. The sergeant pursued, but fell and broke his arm be fore going far. Seeing that--he cartld not escape, the prisoner finally returned to the officer and surrendered, and was taken to the State prison, and safely in-, carcerated. During ihe pursuit of Bac cigolup, it i stated, Poindexter urged the aijftcer. in onarge of him to join, pledging that he would remain with his brothers. The offer was not accepted and Poindexter was carried to the penU tentiary. where he was consigned to proper officers. Owing to the lateness of the hour the uniform which Poin dexter seeks to be exempted from wear ing was not put on him. A ConkUiig-Blalnc Keconciliation. Special to Ihe Baltimore American. Washington, February 16. There is much speculation here as to the object of the dinner given by Senator Jones at 7w York Saturdav night. It is re garded by same as a step in the efforts being made to reconcile jon&ung aim Blaine. AVhet-her this true or not, the free discussion, ot the presidential nomination, which took place there, and the frauk' interchange of views can havA no other ettect than to unite tne friends of Grant and Blaine, so that the strength of either may be turned to the other when it shall appear which one ot them cannot be nominated, it is re ported that there was not a Sherman man present, and that the Secretary was freely denounced. This only strengthens , the .impression that this, dinner was for the purpose of arranging a mutual understanding between the Grant and Blaine nen, to defeat oi the administration candidate. Such a policy baa been freely hinted at nereto- lore, ana reports ul unsumiiw give color to this suspicion..
