ARE THE REPUBLICANS ABoLITIoSIsrs The
Boston LiJerotor, edited by William Lloyd Gar
rison devotes large majority of its time and
space to the most virulent attacks upon Lin

ed in this mad scramble for office. Par
ents are much to blame for such state Of
affairs. Children at an early age are
taught the worse than foolish lesson, that
the highest honors in this Republic are
open to all who will contend for them. and
many are led to believe that they Of all
others are. destined to enjoy them. It
would be wiser to teach them that indus
try has many. fields, in which just ann
bition may have wide scope and lofty aims.
The knowledge OF a free competition
for political honors comes TO them early
enough in life without teacher. It would
be better for many # it never came to
them at all. The youth who believes he
was born to be President, iis.acqniling his
poEitfcsei training receives i'll in a school
not the best suited for the Improvement OF
his morals. He will be fort innate # slse
does not acquire habits which will disgrace
him in after life, and ii he does not learn
to look upon honest industry with DISCUS,
and upon those who are centent TO pursue
its callings in qniet way, as persons
wanting in spirit and energy Such an ed
ry avocatlons Of life, unfortunately does
not quiet him in any extraordinary de
gree either, for the holding of Office
pens, too many OF our office holders arc
chosen.
1t has yet to be learned by many, that
success in life does not consist alone in el-
ovation to office, and in the possession OF
political honors. True success and true
happiness, consist rather in filling WORTH
ly some appropriate and useful sphere.
wherein our acts while advancing our
selves, may likewise be of benei.s 10 those
about us. Al OF us are hot born states
men, though the asst of US think we are
But all OF Us, if we will, may make our
selves useful in our day and generation
The men best qualified to hold office are
to be found among those who do not pur-
sue it, and not among professional poll
ticians, who have a cormorant appetite foi
everything that comes in their way.

The keeper told him that such was report

would not believe it, for he took pains to
barry them far out at sea, where there was
little prospect OF their appearing against
him.
Reference has heretofore been made as
TO the probability OF Hicks having been
implicated in the mntiuy on board the

the murder of six Of the crew Of that yes

confession was made on Tuesday evening,
to turnkey of the prison, The Tribune
says:
He says that between and 10 O'Clock
at night, when about fifty miles out as sea,
he commence d his bloody work The
Captain was sleeping below in the cabin,
and one OF the Watts boys was also sleep
ing below. Hicks and the other Watts
were on deck, the latter being on the look
out i'll the bow. The murderer came up
behind the unsuspecting young man, and
with some heavy weapon, probably q
handspike, dealt him deadly blow upon
the bead. His victim fell upon the deck,
and was there pounded and beaten until
dead.
The noise made on deck in executing
this murder alarmed the brother of the
murdered man, who was sleeping directly
beneath their feet, and he came rushing
on deck. Scarcely had his head appeared
above the companion hatch when the
murderer struck him also on the head
with his deadly weapon, and he too, fell
insensible to the deck. He was then dis
patched in the same manner as his broth
er had been. Captain Burr had not vet
been disturbed, but was still quietly sleep
ing i'll his cabin, wholly nEsuspicious OF
the bloody scenes that were being enacted
on board his vessel. Hicks proceeded inn
mediateiy to the cabin, where he made an
assault upon Captain Burr. His deadly
work was not In this instance performed
in SO sure and sudden manner. The

Tie Great Iastaru.

The New York Times has the following
remarks on the arrival OF this monster yes
sci:
The voyage of the Great Eastern, as
will be seen by our report, has been sub
stantial success. The theory OF her size is
simply this: She can carry twice as much
as the Adriatc or the Persia, with the
same horsepower and cost, simply on ac-
count Of her size, the engines being the
same. Her hrs: trip las demonstrated the
mechanical correctness OF this theory, by
proving that the ship Hof only equals, but
exceeds smallervcssels IL seaWni- -.iinesS ard
mana geabili1y. More than this: is de-
nnonstrttes the equally important fact that
the comfort and safety OF passengers are
increased in proportion to the size Cf the
vessel. Tie moderate speed attained by
the Great Eastern on this trip IS fully ac-
counted for by her purposoiy but not nee
essariiy low steam pressure, bY a consid-
cradle deviation from the shortest course
to avoid ice, by q tioal bottom, and by 9TH
or abnormal circumstances. The positive
facts developed are the perfection Of the
! hull and the excellence and reliability of
| the machinery. TIE engines were not
