No less than three or four cases were added
snicidea which the HsnALD has lately recorded.
One was the contamination of q sad story
of love and desertion In another the Coro-
ner's inquest resulted in o verdict Of acct
dental death, inasmuch Is the deceased had
been liable to Cts, and may have fallen instead
Of thrown himself from third story window.
In third case young man shot himself in the
head with pistol, near the fountain in Wash
ington parade ground. The fourth case Is the
most extraordinary in which crazy German,
who had large amount Of money with him,
fancied that his fellow passengers were thieves
and pick2ockets, stepped out on the platform
of the car in the Cincinnati express train on
the Hudson River Railroad, while the train
was passing Stockport, a little this side of
Albany, at full speed, jumped Off into the
Hudson and was drowned.
In case submitted to the Supreme Court OF
the State of New York, Chief Justice Nelson
decided that suicide involved the deliberate
termination of ones existence while in the full
possession Of the mental faculties, and that
selfdestruction by an insane man or a lunatic
was not suicide within the meaning of the
law. Although nearly all life insurance COM
panies maintain the stereotyped rule that
suicide entails forfeiture of the policy, ii
would thus be difficult to prove case
of suicide in the legal sense of the
word, and the popular notion is per-
baps safe that insanity must be presumed
10 be the cause of suicide. The barbarous old
English law, which inflicted punishment for
suicide by ordering the corpse to be mutilated
and to be buried at the crossroads with stake
driven through it, has become obsolete. Statis-
ticans OF the modern fatalistic school have gone
so far as to affirm that the general average of
suicides, as we'll as Of murders, is always pretty
much the same Sometimes however, both
murder and self.murder become so frequent as
to assume the character OF an epidemic. Such
seems TO be the case at present when instances
of both are daily recorded in the newspapers.
The only remedy that we can suggest-and
even our statistical fatalists cannot object to
this experiment, however Intellectual they may
deem II to be-is to redouble all efforts to edu-
cate the rising generation to so high an esti-
mate Of the value of human life and to such
complete selfcontrol that reason and will may
be relied on to prevent each and all from
yielding to the temptation to murder either
themselves or anybody else.

Our special mail reports of the great turf
contests for the English Derby and Oaks, at
EPSON Downs, and the French Derby at Chan
lilly, which we publish to-day, embrace ample
confederation of the accuracy Of the special
cable kilograms in which we reported the run
ming and result of each heat in the columns Of
the HERALD the morning subsequent to their
occurrence. The letters which appear this
morning will be read with much interest,
Notwithstanding the spirited descriptions
conveyed through the cable, as the writer's by
mail elaborate the details-the scenes on the
road and grounds, the betting, the mounts and
remuneration of the jockeys, and so forth-in
very pleasing and instructive form The favor
ties before the races were beaten in both coun-
tries, and in England one jockey Daley rode

The lima REGATTA.

The annual regatta Of the New York Yacht
Club will come Off on Thursday next, 18th
inst. The starting point will be of Owls
Head, Long Island, and the course will be
round the lightship and back, yachts keeping
the buoy Of the Southwest Spit to the west and
south. 'Halfpast ten o'clock in the forenoon
is the hour fixed for the start Two classes Of
boats are entered for the race, schooners and
sloops, with prize valued at $3.50 for each
class. With fair day and a good breeze a
capital race may be expected, and as the
course Is not long ono there will probably be
close competition between the yachts. But
after all the regatta will be little more than
schoolboy pastime compared with the ocean
contest aud other races over long course, ;.

which, on a matter of this kind, must be re-
garded as unimpeachable. We may DO per-
United to explain, however how we came to
occupy the position allotted to us as the lead
ing religious and moral journal among the
newspapers of the metropolis.
Tilton, the greatest twaddler of the day, and
who for several years conducted religious
paper in this city, has gone over openly to
Satan, and Of course there has arisen q neces-
sity for some one to readjust the balance Of
morality and religion in these eventful and
critical times. We have assumed the task for
two reasOns:-First, because of its urgency, in
view of DR.. Cummings declaration that the
world is to come to an end in the course
Of the present year; and secondly, be-
cause the Pope, in his recent appeal to
the press, admits the all-potent influence
which journalists now exercise in religious
matters. In regard to Tilton, who has thus
shamelessly deserted his post and gone over to
the enemy of mankind, we can only say that
We hope Satan will feel proud of him. 1t is
our belief, however, that he has not got much
of prize in him. We could have picked up in
the Five Points and in the spiritual circles Of
the city scores Of people who would have been
more efficient coadjutors and assistants in the
work of Generalization.
In regard to our own course, we have but
little to add to the iattering things said Of us
by our religious contemporaries. We started
to publish a newspaper on right principles, and
we have stuck to our plan for over thirty
years, without turning to the right or left
We never had any ambition to be either q
religious or political class leader. Our pride
has been to faithfully reflect and aid the spirit
of progress, and to show up the humbugs and
cheats who have been practising on public
credulity in the name of religion and morality
II will be admitted thatwe have in measure
succeeded.

American enterprise is rapidly extending
telegraphic communication from this continent
to all parts of the world. The latest design on
the tapis is telegraph line from Florida to
Cuba, and extending thence through the differ
ent West India islands to Cape ST. Rogue, in
South America. We publish in another column
statement of the plans of the company about
to carry this project into effect This line will
not only bring the whole West India group
into telegraphic connection with us, but will
enable us to extend it from Cape st. Rogue. via
the Cape Verde Islands, to the coast of
Africa, and thence by coast cable, touching
at the Canary islands, to Cadiz. We believe
that the latter connection between the coast Of
South America and Europe is contemplated by
French company.
The line between Key West and Havana, one
hundred and two miles in length, will probably
be constructed Immediately. The connections
with the West India islands and Europe will
consist of twenty-five sections, the longest being
between the South American coast and the
Cape Verde isles. Considering that the trade
OF the West Indies amounts annually to nearly
five hundred millions of dollars, and our de-
pendence upon those markets for many articles
Of consumption, telegraphic correspondence
with them becomes of great importance, and,
should none other of the foregoing projects be
carried out, we will have gained much by the
connection between our coast and the West
Indies. Thus almost every day is adding a
link to the chain which is uniting us to the

Religion and tho Secular Press aud the
HcruId.

A curious controversy has arisen between
the religious and secular newspapers as to the
position, character, moral tendency and reli-
gious bearing Of the newspaper press Of this
city. The subject is being handled with all the
warmth and acerbity which usually character
lie discussions OF this nature.
1t seems that the religious press gives g-cat
offence to the secular, because IL thinks the

otherwise to the cause which they were in
tended to destroy. Cesarism did not perish
under the stroke Of Brutus, but the name OF
Cesar acquired a power which martyrdom
alone could have given it. He was greater in
death than in life. "All his acts, his writings,
his words, bis promises, his thoughts" says
Cicero, have more force since his death than
if he were still alive, Sometimes they have
created even greater horrors than those from
which II was their object to deliver. To quote
the words Of the present ruler Of France, words
as truthful as they are full Of point, I" Brutus,
by Staying Cesar, plunged Rome into the hor-
rors Of civil war he did not prevent the reign
Of Augustus, but he rendered possible those of
Nero and Caligula." Similar lessons NAV be
learned from the assassination Of Henry
Nv. OF France, from the assassination
OF William the Silent, and last, but
not least, from the assassination of our own
Lincoln. The name of but one great assassin
continues to be mentioned with respect but
the name Of Brutus has already los. much of
its power. Christianity Is convincing the
world not only that Brutus did wrong, but
that under her benignant reign Brutus is i'm
possible. The name Of this wretched Pole
Beregouski, must henceforth be classcd with
the Ravaillacs and Gerards of former age,
and with the Orsinis and Booths Of our own
names ever TO be pronounced with loathing
and horror.
II is premature, perhaps, to discuss the pro-
bable results that NAV flow from this attempted
murder. One thing at least is certain IL will
damage the cause Of the Poles all over the
world. Possibly they have been too much
made Of. For generations they have been .
nuisance both In this country and in Europe.
What little sympathy still remained for them
will, we fear, by this event be finally and for
ever extinguished. II may be unjust that .
whole people should suffer for the doings Of
! one man. but IL is inevitable
