SUICIDE OF A NAVAL OrrIcER.-It has be

Suicide OF A NAVAL OFFICER 1t has been
stated that Capt. Tilton, of the United States
Navy, and member of the United States
Lighthouse Board, committed suicide in
Washington on Friday. 1t seems that for
sometime past Capt. L. had been laboring un-
der an unfortunate depression of spirits,
chiefly caused by the sectional difficulties eX-
listing throughout the country. The Star of
Saturday says:
ole attended to the business of his office
yes sterday as usual, and after returning to his
residence, Il number of friends called upon
him, with whom he conversed about the pre-
yailing topic until the dinner hour. After his
friends retired, his family noticed that his
melancholy augInen ted, and in a few minutes
he retired to his room. Having no suspicion
rs TO his purpose, they sat down to dinner,
and in Il few minutes hea rd heavy fall over
head, and rushing up to his room found him
lying on the floor, which was deluged with his
life blood. The unfortunate man had dis
charged Il pistol at his head, causing instant
death. He entered the service i'll 1922 as Il
midshipman, and was commissioned as COM
mander in 1858. He stood high in the ser
vice as any other officer of his rank. His last
cruise was in command of the sloOp- of war
Sara toGa, On the Home Sq uadron, from which
he returned in April, 1857. Subsequently he
was assigned 10 duty here, as a mem Der of the
Ligh thouse Board in which capacity he was
engaged at the time of the sad occurrence
When commanding the Saratoga he contract
ed the Chagres fever, and ever since had been
troubled with affection of the head from
its effects.

THE SEIZURE OF ARMS IN NEW YORK.

NAL demand upon Superintendent Kennedy
for the arms seized on board the Savannah
steamer Mon ticello intended for Georgia Mr..
Lamar acts on the authority Of a dispatch
from some party in MiIledgeyille. Mr.. Ken
nedy refuses TO give up the goods, and it re-
mains to be seen what further steps Mr.. La
mar will deem it judicious to take in the
premises. Demand has likewise been made
through attorneys, by w. H. ID. Calendar
for twenty EIGHT cases Of rifles, consigned TO u
party In Montgomery, Ala, and tue demand,
in this case, has been complied with, under
writ of repleyin so far as TO take the arms
from the arsenal and give them to the custody
of the sheriff.
Governor Morgan, by the way, has replied
by letter to the Governor OF Georgia, In regard
70 these seizures ofarms by the city police. The
Governor takes the ground that rs the arms
We're destined 10 be used 10 snbyert the Cioy-

The PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTIoN.-In
regard to the Pennsylvania election, the
Philadelphia North american says:
"The result of the late election in Phil
adelphia turns out to be more disastrous
than at first appeared. Both branches of
the City Councils have fallen into the hands
Of the Democrats by bare majorities, car
rying with them the various departments
of the city government. The same party
carry ten out of seventeen members of As
sembly from the city, and Senator; and
the majority of Thompson Peoples for
sheriff is so small that the army vote is
said to swamp it,"
Upon this the Albany argus emarks /:
"The press of New York and Phiadel-
phia is silent in regard to these facts. The
telegraph has been silent also; and the
public is not permitted to know that the
Republican party has been disastrously
defeated in Pennsylvania. We hear that
the vote of the State shows a Democratic
majority; and that the soldiers in camp
have cast majority Of $4,000 for the
Democratic ticket.
owe do not know how true this is; but
the silence of the Administration press con-
firms this view of the result. The Repub-
lican press of Pennsylvania is too prohigate
in purpose and too rash in assertions, to
forego the pleasure of boasting its success
in partisan conflict, if it had achieved
one."

nSs-Beecber said the other dav Of III,

ba~Beecher said the other day, at the
Grafton to Col. Wilson's regiment, in this
city:-"I have never had the faintest
doubt as to the result of this contest
Slavery will go to hell, where it came
from, not because we are richer, stronger,
or better than the South, but because God
is fighting against it, We shall conquer
the rebels, not in our own strength, but
the Almighty Lord will lay them over our
knee and We will spank them in the nat
ural order of Providence !" The opera
ton of "spanking" the rebels being SO
easy and natural, one would suppose that
Beecher himself would like to take hand
at it, but never bit. He only spanks
away with his tongue-words, words,

For some weeks past my name has been be-

card announcing it, observed that it was not
probable party nominations for the Office Of
