Wny Should Men te Idlel
In New York city, it is said, there
arc more unemployed workingmcn than
there have been within the last ten
years. A majority of the cities and
large towns of the country seem to be in
the same condition. Of course the
main cause of the troublo is directly
traceable to the unsettled state t the
"finances. We have an immense public
debt ; a gtasping and monopolizing
lauk interest; a fluctuating and unccr
Wi currencv. liable at any moment to
succumb to the assaults of those who
hold the Government bonus, and a
widespread distrust in a 'financial eys,
torn which is based entirely on puper.
These -causes have ereatly retarded
trade and closed many manufactories
Another prolific cause of stagnation

struction." By those acts every iodus
yal interest of ten of the States has
.been'broken up or destroyed. Over all

an attempt at cultivation of the soil, in

measures. Instead of millions of bales
of .cotton, hogsheads of sugar, tobacco,

nnu in the uatnonc translation 01 me
New Testament the following version of
Ileb. 11, 21 ; "By faith, Jacob dying,
blessed each of tho sons of Joseph, and
n.lnro.l ,h fnn nf 1l!9 rod." Ii is re.
top
markud in a foot note, " The apostle
here follows the ancient Greek Bible of
the 70 interpreters, which translates in
this manucr Gen. 47, 31, and alleges
this fact of Jacob, in paying a relative
honor and veneration to the top of the
rod or sceptre of Joseph, as to a figure
of Christ's sceptre and kingdom, as an
instance and argument of his faith."
Here adoration is paid, not morely to a
creature, but to a piece ot inanimate
matter. But the note speaks as though
Jacob did not adore Joseph's rod, but
only paid it a "relative honor and ven
eration," not at all religious worship
or perhaps it might be called a religious
r,l n nnftunk nf its re ntJori to thfl
only proper object. of adoration.
Now among tho " gods many ond
lords many " of the heathen, there arc
some who are regarded as inferior di
vinities ; yet worship is paid to them as
well as the others. And if Catholics

ration, thej does it help the matter to
say that a less degree of it is paid to
creatures than is paid to the Creator.
Or, ha3 the doctrino of tho Catholio
Church changed since tho days of St.
Epiphanius, so that the Eoglisn transla
tion ot Ileb. 11, 21 gives tho modern
doctrine ?
These questions 1 sujticft as somo
that occur to me, and as indicating the
difficulties in the way of accepting the
Catholio doctrine ; which I hope you
will be kind enough to explain to me.
But there is yet another difficulty in
the case, still more serious, in my ap
prehension, which is this : The foot
note before quoted proceeds to say that
" Protectants, who aro no friends to this
relative honor, have corrupted the text
by translating it ' be worshipped, lean
ing upon the top of his staff,' " and yet
so far as my present means of infor
mation extend the charge of corrupt
ing the Scripture seems to belong to tb
Catholics, ond not at fill to tho Protest.
ants. For the Protestant version prints
the word " leaning " in Italio letters, to
indicate tbnt it is supplied by the trans,
lators, tho better to express what they
regarded as the evident mcaniug of the
passase. Leaving out -this word the
Protestant version would read wor
shipped upon tho top of his staff,"
which is a literal translation of tLo
Greek text Prosckuneeen epi to akron
tes rabdon autou (as nearly as 1 can
give it iu English letters) which is pre
cisely the same as the Septuagint Deut.
47, 31. Now I wish to know what the
Catholics have done with that preposi
tion rjii, which in our version is render

any party with corrupting the text of

It is a very important manor , on
which greatly affects the credit ui the
translations in ouestion : and in tho one
case, at least, affects the credit of the
Church which claims tor its own teach
ings an authority equal to that of the
Bible itself. Ii tho Catholic Church is
oapublc of such a crime as corrupting
the text iu order to g iiu the appears uoe
oi Scriptural authority fur iU own

and reprobation of eveiy honest man.
I say if it bo so for I would not
condemn any man or any party without
a hearing and I hope you will be able
to show caueo for a more favorable

Washington, June 11.
Surralt's trial was resumed to day.
The entire session was consumed iu
arguing the motion of tho prosecution
yesterday. A demurrer was filed by
the defense. The Court promised to
give au opinicu to.iuorrow.
The Impeachment Xniineu.
According to reports from Washing,
ton, a majority of tho Judiciary Com
mittee ol the House has decided that
they havo discovered no grounds for
impeaching tho President. This wtfl
probably end the wholo proceeding,
although Mr. Ashley threatens to ap
rcul fioin the Committee to the House.
Such au appeal, especially when taken
hy iiim, will amount to nothing. The
House would in uny case bo averse to
impeachment unless " crimes and mis
demeanors " had been traced to the
President of such a character as to
leave no alternative ; and in the face of
a report against it Irom a maioiity ol
tho Committee, uot ono-fourth of the
House will.be in favor of such a pro-.
cccding.
Basido., the timo has gone by when
impeachment would serve the ends for
which it was proposed. Its original
object was, not to punish the President
lor his crimes but to get posession of his
office. Wendell Philips, Ashley, Stev
ens, and their associate?, wanted the
power and tho patronage of tho Execu-
ivo within their control. Ihey feared,
moreover that the President would in
terpose difficulties in tho wiy of their
political projects that ho might inter
fere with the execution of the laws they
might pass aud they deemed impeach
ment important, therefore, as the only
means ot putting in his place somo one
who would be more obedient to their
wishes. Mr. Phillips declared openly
that the President was nn " obstacle "
to the accomplishment of their plans,
and thnt he must therefore be removed.
Governor Boutwell said that he did not
see how it would be possible to pass and
carrv into effect the measures wnich the
public welfare demanded, so long as
Mr. Johnson remained in the J'.xecu-
live chair. Other leading radicals were
equally clear and explicit in their
avowals of the motives which prompted
the movement for linpeachmen;'. It
was designed, after articles of impeach-
meet had been passed by the House, to
secure tho President s suspccsion from
office dnring-fhc trial : and by way of
preparation for -that contingency, Mr,
Wade oi Ohio was selected to bo Presi
dent of the Senate, not by reason of any
fitness for that place, but because be was
supposed to be especiacly qualified for
the contingent service which had been
marked out for him.
The lapse of time has weakened the
force of this motive, if not destroyed it
altogether. President Johnson is not
so much an " obstacle " as was antici.
pated. He has executed the laws of
Congress in perfect good faith and with
lull effect. His appointment ot Mili
tary Commanders of tho Southern De
partments was judicious, aud met with
gcnerel approval He aided in secur
ing the exercise by the blacks of the
suffrage conicrrcd upon them by law.
uisappoiutments to otlico havo been
largely controlled by the radinl mem.
bers of Congress, and in all respects he
has left no room for serious complaint
as to tho course ho has pursued. There
is little moti7c, therefore, and as little
desire now, even among the Republi.
cans in Congress, to " get rid of the
President in any other way than by the
expiration of his term of office.
The Committee will probably recom
mend the publication of the immense
amount of matter 'which they havo col.
lected about the President, under the
name of " testimony."" We -can see no
possible good to bo thus effected, but
that consideration will have but little
weight. Much of this evidence is mere
scandal and gossip, some of it malicious,
and more of it merely reckless, winch
hastery httlo bearingot any kind upon
the public interest, and will serve only
to feed ihe appetite for scandal, which
