rnopERTY, rents, and ntiCES.
From the y. Y. Tribune.
The maia Cannes for the clodreaso of- house
rents and store rent nt the present lotting
season are, (1) the lar,;o dooreaHa in the price
of hotiHe-bvuldiug miiteriuls; (2) the fall in
the cost of labor employed in house-building;
(3) the great increase in the value of currency
since the time when its depreciation was put
forward as the reason for doubling and tre
bling the rent rates; ( I) the general decline in
the wages of all classes of workingmen, and
in the price of most of the means and neces
saries of life; (5) the decrease of profits in
business and trade, and the general diminu
tion of incomes; (() the great amount of
house-building carried on in the city and
suburbs during the last three years, which has
given some rolief from our former over
crowded condition; (7) the extensive migra
tion of recent times from the city itself to
places adjacent, which has also given relief to
the city; (8) the very large number of houses
and stores throughout the city that are now
to let, and that cannot be rented on the
terms demanded by landlords.
The owners of houses and real estate here
have for some years past enjoyed very profit
able and satisfactory returns from their in
vestments. It is doubtless unpleasant to
them to see any cessation in the yearly in
crease of the value of their property and the
annual advance of their rents; and it is doubt
less even more unpleasant for them to see the
value of property at a stand-still, and the
rate of rents tending downward. But, at
the same time, they ought not to remain
tinconsoious of the great evils this city
has suffered from the exorbitant rents peo
ple have been compelled to pay for some
years past rents which are exorbitant not
only as compared with former times, but
as compared with those paid in any other
great city of America or Europe. The
poorer classes have been crowded into foul
and pestilence-breeding tenements. Tens of
thousands of our most desirable citizens, ac
tive and enterprising men of families belong
ing to the middle classes, have been forced to
leave New York and take up their residence
in the adjacent towns of New Jersey, Con
. neoticut, and Long Island. Not a fow kinds
of business heretofore carried on here have
been altogether driven from the city the
persons engaged in them being unable to
oommand such profits as would meet the ex
actions for rent. Branches of manufacturing
industry, giving employment to large num
bers of people, have in like manner been
compelled to leave New York for more favor
able localities.
In such ways as these, the prosperity of the
city has been greatly retarded, even though it
has increased in business and population. Its
growth has not been of that sound, whole
some, vigorous, and vitalized kind most favor
able to enduring prosperity and the welfare
of the great mass of the community. It is
our opinion that real estate owners them
selves would be as much benefited as any
other class by such an adjustment of pro
perty values and rent rates as would assist the
other influences now co operating to give
stability to business, assurance to industry,
and regulation to general prices.
THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL AND THE
AUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE
BIBLE.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
The correspondence in the columns of the
limes on the subject of the authorized ver
sionof the Bible comes just in time to show
that Protestants fall equally short with Roman
Catholics of honestly admitting that reli
gions, if they are to be believed,
ought to be true. Lord Shaftes
bury noioa mat certain doctrines are
absolutely necessary to eternal salvation, and
he also holds that these doctrines are set
forth in a series of books which form the
Bible, just as those books came from their
original writers. But he declines to put his
two article b of faith together, and for fear
that the essential doctrines may not be found
to be btat9d in the original documentary
record as clearly as he would like, he does
not wish the world at large to be told with
any autnonty wnat conclusions com
petent persons who have examined
the record have formed concerning its mean.
ing. He has satisfied himself that his creed
is contained in a representation of the origi
nal documents popularly known as the autho
rized version, and therefore he desires that
uuinstructed persons should remain under an
impression, known to be in a great degree
false, that the authorized version is literally
correct. This course of thought has the very
strongest resemblance to the train of ideas
which has led the Ultramontane school of
Roman Catholics to desire that the Pope
should be authoritatively proclaimed infalli
ble. A number of pious opinions have grown
up inside the Church which a number of per
sons not accused of dishonesty or disloyalty
nevertheless do not at present believe to be
sustained by the sources of authority to whioh
the Church appeals. Certain other opin
ions have grown up outside the Church,
which the Ultramontaties believe to be
wicked and mischievous to their ecclesiasti
cal system, but which are nevertheless held
by a number of Roman Catholics who cannot
at present bo authoritatively blamed. They
therefore wish that the first class of opinions
shall be made true, and the second class of
opinions shall bo tuude false; and in order to
have this operation of making truth per
formed, they propose to declare the Popa,
who they tniuk will speak as they wish,
divinely incapablo of committing a mistake.
The Pope is to be held to be infallible
for a purpose independent of actual truth,
just as for a purpose, also independent
of actual truth, the authorized version is to be
held to be absolutely without error. It would
not be difiicult to show that the resemblance
is not confined to the object desired, or to the
lines of argument pursued. There is a cu
rious similarity in the Inn gunge about our
glorious English Bible" to the declamation of
the Ultramontanes about giving a visible ex
! x l - tt .
pression io iimoiio uuny. iiere, However,
the Roman Catholics have much the best of
it. If rhetorio and metaphor are wanted to
disguise the weakness of a priori reasoning,
much more of them are at command of those
who would deify a man than of those who
would deify a book.
We wish we could say that all of those
who contend against Lord Shaftesbury upon
what we consider to be the just and honest
side were wholly free from the imputation
of intellectual dishonesty, lhe assertion re
peatedly made by them that a corrected ver
sion of the Bible will affect no doctrine
commonly held by orthodox Christians strikes
us as, at all events, rashly made, and as in
the strict sense inoorreet. So long, indeed,
as the mode of proving a doctrine is by
the accumulation of texts disjointed from
the context, it is on the whole improbable I
that the withdrawal of a single supposed I
authority from the neap will induce any
body to doubt what he has been aeons-
tomcd to believe, me ways or theologians
are not as the ways of experts in any other
Mibject of thought. But so much as this
at all events may be affirm od with the greatest
confidence that many doctrines now com
monly hold among Christians would never
have been believed with the same unflinch
ing confidence if there had not been found
in the Bible, as ordinarily read, texts which
are now known to be either spurious or to
be gross misrepresentations of the original.
The famous interpolation, I John v, 7, is a
case in point. No falsification of a documen
tary record is established by more over
whelming evidence. Y'et the fraudulent
Bcribe who first adduced the testimony of
the Three Heavenly Witnesses know perfectly
well what he wanted to prove, and that the
words he inserted would go far to prove it;
and it is quite impossible that in unoriticalages
a text so distinctly and emphatically in point
should not have had the strongest in
fluence in forming and confirming the gene
ral belief. So, also, no reasonable person
will denv that the solemn words from
the l!)th chapter of the book of Job whioh
are read in the English Burial Service "I
know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he
shall stand at the latter day upon tho earth;
and though after my skin worms destroy this
body, yet in my flesh shall I see God" have
had much to do with the firm faith of Christians
in the actual resurrection of the individual
body. Yet the best critics hold this passage
to be one of the worst mistranslations in the
whole Bible, and that the words, strongly as
they affect ns, are a mere travesty of the
meaning of the original.
Those who consider with ourselves that,
whatever else a religion ought to be, it
ought before all things to be true, will of
course decline to take consequences into ac
count when they contend for so simple a
matter as the application of the most ap
proved methods of modern scholarship to the
Bcripturol text. We are, however, very far
from supposing that a more accurate exhibi
tion of the meaning of that text would really
shake the allegiance of the mass of Protest
ant Christians to the opinions commonly
entertained by them. If the Bible had always
been what it now is to critical and instructed
eyes, the body of doctrines generally under
stood to constitute Christianity might have
been different from what it now is,
but the existing doctrines have been
held too long and too firmly to be
materially changed by the recasting
of the authorities at this date. The
Eersons who, with Lord Shaftesbury, appre
end a great loosening of belief, are either
persons who are in the habit of going through
a bead-roll of texts which they cannot bear to
have changed, or they are persons who,
dimly discerning and acutely disliking the
more searching processes of inquiry which
lie beyond the application of mere scholar
ship, are determined to resist the first en
croachments of that dangerous instrument
the intellect. For all immediate purposes, we
are not sure that a much greater revolution of
popular opinions on theologieal subjects
would not be effected if a Bible without
numbered and divided texts were to come
into exclusive use than would be brought
about by the most stringent revision of the
authorized version. So long as theological
doctrines are supposed to be proved by iso
lated texts, just as legal doctrines are esta
blished by citations from a code themethod,
indeed, having been borrowed originally in
all probability by the theologians from the
lawyers there will always be room enough
for dispute whether a particular doctrine is
proved, and in such a controversy the re
ceived dootrinal view will always have the ad
vantage. There is so little chance practically
of any considerable change of religious opm
ions resulting merely from a new translation,
that one wonders that even a clergyman
should brought by fear of it to tolerate the
scandals of the present version. If we say
that much which is given in the Old Testa
ment as a representation of the meaning of
the minor prophets is sheer unmitigated
nonsense, we probably only express the ma
ture opinion of so respectable a person as Dr
Puscy.
THE McFARLAND JURY.
From the A'. Y. Times.
The right of challenging jurors may be
seen exercised on a truly Brobdignagian
scale in this city whenever a trial of unusual
importance is coming off. Nearly seven hun
died citizens were subpoenaed in order that
twelve men might bo found of sufficient in
telligence and fairness to try MoFarland. If
things go on at this rate, a small town will
not be in a condition to afford the luxury
of a jury much longer. Even New York
might not be able to stand the embarrass
ment to business which half-a-dozen import
ant trials coma on at one time would be
calculated to produce. The present system
does notjtend to further the ends of justice
so much as to enable tho counsel on each
side to have a little "sparring" across the
court, and waste a good daal of valuable
time. They talk at ouo another about their
respective cases, and chaff the citizens
who have been summoned to the court, to
their great inconvenience and loss. Thus,
when a dealer in drams was called the other
day, it was instantly seen to be an excellent
method of greeting him to remark that he
was "sound," that he could not be beaten,
and that he would make too much noise, lhe
counsel added to the effect of these ex qui
site sallies by calling the gentleman "Mr.
Drums." Perhaps we cannot have too much
of such humor as this, but the Recorder (to
say nothing of the prisoner) must have
wished that the counsel would "leave their
damnable faces and begin." When a man is
on trial for his life the best of jokes may be
lost upon him.
This abuse of the privilege of challenging
jurors is Bhort-sighted in every way. It does
not find out the best men for the duty. The
counsel, not satisfied with putting the ques
tion, "have you any prejudice in your mind
concerning this case frequently pressed the
juror as to whether he had formed any im
pression whatever concerning it, and the
mere reading of the newspapers seemed in
some cases to be taken as sufiioieut disquali
ncation. A man who does not read a news
paper cannot be a very tit person to sit on any
jury; and as for "impressions," whose mind
is free from them when a cose of this kind
is brought before tho publio t But a juryman
is sworn to render a verdict in aouordance
with the evidence produced during the trial
his mind is not supposed to be a "sheet of
white paper" when ho enters the court. It is
ordinarily deemed sufiioicnt for the judge to
admonish the jury to dismiss from their
minds all that they heard previous to the
evidence, and juries are as a rule intelligent
enough to see for themselves the necessity of
doing this. The oath surely ought to be
strong enough to overoome mere "impres
sions," but not much importance seems to be
attached in legal circles to oaths nowadays.
We do not seek to censure counsel for ex-
erciBing their fair right of challenging jurors
we would simply remind them that they go
the very way to work to frustrate their own
objects. People kuow now that they have
only to go into court and say, "I have an
opinion with regard to this case," and be ex
cused at once from serving on the jury. They
ought to be told "Never mind your opinion
you will take an oath to decide strictly ac
cording to the evidence, and if you break
that you go about for the rost of your life a
porjurod man." Of conrso, if any suspicion
of special prejudice exists, the juror ought
to be shariuv questioned, and if necessary.
rejected. But this precaution could be taken
without bavino 7.".0 men in readiness to
supply ten jurors.
PROGRESS OF THE CUBAN REVOLU
TION. From the IT. Y. Sun.
We received recently by the Cuban cable
advices which had reached Havana from
Mexico, St. Domingo, and Vonezuela; but on
a subject of far more importance, namely,
what is going forward in Cuba, an absolute
silence is maintained. Inasmuch as news
must have reached Havana of many military
operations since any acoounts whatever have
been vouchsafed, it is but natural to in
fer that the Spaniards who control this
American cable have no news which they care
about making known. This very natural
conclusion is supported by all late telegrams
from the island.
The purpose of the visit of the Cantain-
General to Puerto rrincipe was stated to be
the inauguration of a campaign from that
city which should fully wipe out the insur
gents. 'I his at least was the plan which was
promulgated abroad: the truth, however, has
leaked out in Havana. It seems that at the
meeting of the Spanish Club in that city on
the L'.'Sd ult., it was unanimously resolved that
if a republic was established in Spain, or if
either the cession, sale, independence, or
self-government of Cuba were decided upon,
they would raise the banner of secession from
Spain, and proclaim Isabella II as Queen."
This resolution was subsequently modified
into a determination to reduce every building
on the island to ashes in the event that Cuba
should either be ceded or sold.
At the time of this meeting De Rodas had
just arrived at Puerto Principe. He went
there to endeavor to gain over to his side not
the Cuban patriots, but the pet of the rebel
lious Havana volunteers, (Jount valmaseda,
De Rod as was sent to Cuba after these same
Rebels had driven out his predecessor, Gene-
rail Dulce, chiefly for the purpose of subduv
ing them. The Spanish Cabinet saw clearly
what Mr. Hamilton i ish has obstinately re
fused to understand, that the island was lost
to the Government unless these volunteers
could be brought into subjection. They
selected De Rodas for the iron will and relent
less cruelty which he had just displayed at
Seville and Cadiz. But their hopes have been
frustrated. De Rodas, in lieu of subjecting
the volunteers, has been from his very ad
vent subject to them, and Valmaseda has
been his stumbling block. The Captain
General has twice demanded of the home
Government the recall of his rival, but Prim
and Serrano are about as impotent in Spain
as De Rodas is in Cuba. And now, as a last
resort, as Valmaseda would not come to Ha
vana, tho Captain-General has gone to Puerto
rrincipe trusting that the Uount will meet
him there. Respecting their interview, if it
has taken place, no accounts huve reached
us; but it must have been of such a natur
that its publication would damage the Spanish
cause,
Meanwhile the admission of the cable that
the Spaniards have lost "a small party" on
the Nuevitas Railroad a line which from the
early days of the insurrection has been
guarded by some three thousand bpauisb
troops is ominous, when viowed with the
rxaonifying glass indispensable for the deci
phering of all acoounts of Spanish losses that
are allowed to reach us. . Again, nothing has
been heard of Goyeneche for some time.
Rumors were afloat in Havana, at tho sailing
of the last steamer, that he had surrendered
at discretion to General Jordan. Of Valma-
seda's loss on the Canto no evidence has been
received except the wounded Spanish soldiers
at Manzanillo. Of course, at this important
moment, any Spanish victory would instantly
have been forwarded for use in Washington
lhe wonder is that the urgent need of one
has not evoked it.
THE ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES' BOAT
RACE CAMBRIDGE VICTORIO US.
From the Jf. Y. Herald.
The Oxford and Cambridge University
eight-oared boat race contest came ott on the
river 1 hames en Wednesday, lhe struggle com-
menced at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It was
made on the usual course, from Putney to
Mortlake, a distance of about four and a quar
ter Encash miles. The trial was short, sharp,
and decisive, the Cambridge crew winning Dy
one length in twenty minutes and thirty
seconds. The Oxfords were favorites at
odds in the mornins. Cambridge, however,
reversed the popular anticipation and dissi
pated the outside calculations uy a victory,
tbe first which her sons have achieved over
the boys of tho lignt blue in ten years.
The pcene on tbe banks of the river, and
on the water itself, under the police rules
and guidance of the Thames Conservancy,
was brilliant and animated as in former
years. London was "out" in holiday attire.
The royalty, aristocracy, and democracy of
Great Britain were side by side for the mo
ment, the social and legislative gulf whioh
has hitherto separated them having been
narrowed considerably within a few years
pnst, and being still in process of oolite-
ration, or becoming at least more shallow
hourly, like as to the condition of the river
on the frinoes of which they had congregated,
If permitted to indulge in speculation in mat
ters of science, we should say here that the
temporary reversal of the fame and glory of
Oxford may be attributed, to a certain extent,
to the working of the measures of university
reform which have been applied gradually of
late by the English Parliament to the dir.
ferent seats of learning in that country. The
colleges have received new blood. They
have more muscle, more of tho crammeiit'.nn
or fibre of humanity in the classes, and hence
the new, as it were, and more powerful swoep
of the our, the closer approach to an equality
of power, the quick time, nud the "leetle
ahead" only of tho result. The shortest timo
previously made over the same course iu the
past ten years wus made in the year 1S(!H a
year of university reform when tho Oxfords
won iu twenty minutes exactly.
Tbe voung men of Oxford and Cambridge
universities have now contended in this manly
aquatic sport twenty-seven tiinas. In the
vear 18 1G the first race was pulled over the
course four and a half miles then in out
rigged eighths, and the distance made in
twenty-one minutes and five seconds. Of
tho whole number of contests Oxford has
now won sixteen and Cambridge eleven. Iu
addition to the regular struggles just msn-tioiit-d,
the universities men have contended
together five times at tho Henley regattas in
the same heat for the grand challenge cup.
Of these races to the year 18i" Oxford
won three and Cambridge two. At the
Thames National Regatta, June Tl.
1814, Oxford beat Cambridge in a smart,
exciting race. We sympathize with the
young men of Britain in their steady pursuit

THE MILLINERS' MUDDLE.
From the N. Y. WorU.
A truly tragical announcement comes to us
from Paris. Contemporaneously with the
statement that the Emperor yearns to restore
constitutional government to France, and
that M. Ollivier is the political bead of the
nation, we have intelligence that the wife of
that minister has intruded into the imperial
prerogative of fashion, and has usurped the
function ot dictating to female France where
withal it shall be clothed. She has issued a
notification that she will henceforth wear her
'corsage high, and that she expects her
visitors to do the like.
Whether her visitors will fulfil her modest
expectation, and whether, if they do, they
win ue aoie to persuade an I'aris to secrete
its shoulders under the impenetrable veil of
sterner stuff than the transparent and illusive
devices at present in vogue, ostensibly in.
tended to conceal the upper dorsal and pecto
ral conformation of the female figure, but
really resulting in a mere device, so to speak,
to "advertise mystery and invite specula
tion," are altogether subordinate questions,
lhe appalling fact is that the empire of
fashion is no longer undisputed, and that
mere is no longer any single fountain of honor
and of Iloniton in which femalo devotees
can bathe and be immaculate. If the Em
press makes a stand for her authority, as she
could not, withont dereliction of dignity, take
direct notice of the defiance of her office by a
sub ject, she will be compelled to exhibit her
contempt or the regulations which that sub
jeet has imposed by a marked disregard of
it in an excessively aecouelee decoration of her
own Imperial person. Hence will inevitably
arise two fierce factions, in the struggle of
which the whole female world will participate.
The young, the beautiful, the gay will become
Bonapartists, and "cut out" at once their
dresses and their rivals according to the pre
cepts and the practice of their imperial
leader, ine ancient, the eruptive, the euia
ciated, the weazened, and the withered will
clothe their thoraxes with thunder and pop
lin, and erect battlements of bombazine about
their ears.
The sympathies of the readers of this jour
nai will aouDiiess oe with the mutineers in
this contest. It is easy for malice to asperse
the motives of Madame Ollivier, and to sug
gest mat ner declaration arose trom personal
tenuity or personal amgularity. it is better
to believe that it is at vast personal sacrifice
that she has made this concession to conserv
ative notions, and complied with the plaintive
note ot the proprieties, enjoining her
"Tilde, oh hide, those hills of snow
Which thy frozen bouoiu bears."
But even supposing her aim to be selfish
she is in no worse a ease than any other re
former. John Hampden did not revolt until
the ship-money came to be demanded from
him. Those eminent citizens of Boston who
unloaded a British ship with suoh remark
able celerity were actuated by their purely
personal preferences for a free breakfast
table. And if the noble action of Madame
Ollivier sprang from a similarly sordid source.
it behooves us all to invoke blessings on the
blotches and prosperity to the pimples which
have contributed to a consummation so de
sirable. We may be permitted to congratu
late mankind that Madame Ollivier, while she
shares the spirit of independence with Suiol
lett, does not, like him, proposo to follow it
"with her bosom bare," and that there is
prohpect that by her exertions we may here
alter be spared the spectacles we have been
heretofore occasionally compelled to contem
piuie, and which were only exhibited iu con
formity to the dictates of an irrational but
irroi.i.slible ducroe.
HOW GENERAL GRANT IS USED BY
RICH MEN.
f'rnm the Chicago Tribune.
President Grant has one defect of character
rarely met with in high places an iuexplica
Lie respect for rich men. JNow, a rich man
without recognition of some kind is one of
the poorest of human creatures. Either oom
merce, literature, society, or politics is nooes.
sury to make him happy, and this is why so
many dunces sit in the benate ana uonse
paying out their money to be noticed. This
sort of man is apt, if he have a republican
conscience, to be a good sort of man for a
President to take by the hand now and then
to encourage him with the fact that even en
terprise is not the worst thing in the State
and to assure him that respectable wealth
need not debar any psrson from visiting
magistracy occasionally.
Now. why should the President take plea
sure in Euch merely rich men as Borie and
Corbin; or, worse yet, in such designing rioh
men as Oakes Ames, Daniel Morrell, and
others, wl 5 are, of course, pleased with his
attention and interested in his person, but
who have more important designs than either
social recognition or historical reminiscence?
If they find that they can impress the Presi
dent with their viows, merely by the contaot
of thoir riohes, they will use him to their fill,
and blast his administration with their ful
some praise and insidious advice.
The President's best advisers are not to bo
found in the private closet. The days of the
Privy Council went out with Clarendon and
the Third Stuart. The President's advisers
fchould be the better press of the country and
the cry of the many-headod poor the over
taxed farmer, the idle sailor, the immigrant.
It is mortifying to our conceptions of the
American Chief Magistrate that he should
feel the contact of any man, much less a
merely rich one. This is the weakness of
General Grant the real weakness! He is
used. He is impressible 1 He is an abused
man! His relatives have not felt, in the
nice sense of delicacy, tho duty they
owed him to abstain from solicit
ing Federal favors. Many of them are in
office. Others have tried to grow rich by ob
taining his ear. It is more than probable
that Corbin swindled Fish and Gould out of
$100,000 by using the name of President
Grant. But if Corbin had grown rich as
Croesus by his high relationship, it would
have been a less dangerous symptom than the
known fact that people who have climbed to
opulence by the barbarisms and slips of legis
lation are looked upon by the President as
the best exponents of American citizenship.
