The Late Suicide Of Col. r. B. ]. Twyman
His Reasons for the Act.

Colonel r. b. ]. Twyman, formerly a
prominent Kentucky editor, and at one
time United States Consul to Vera Cruz,
whose suicide, last Friday, has already
been mentioned, left behind the following
letter TO Mr.sGeorge d. Prentice:
METROPOLIS. ILL, Nov. rs. 1867.
George d. Prentice, Esq.,:
OLD FRIEND. When this comes to
hand, your old friend, who pens it, will
have passed from time to eternity-trom
mortality 10 immortality-from the trials
and troubles of this world to world
unknown to all except those who have
entered its mystic portals, and surveyed
its glori,s. :, :,
In voluntarily leaving this world, !
beg you will pardon the favor ask, to
give through the columns ofyour journal,
to my family and friends, my reasons for
the act, and my hopes for the future.
First am sick and tired of life
having no prospects before me, on this
earth, but gloom, disappointment and
severe trials. In the prospect before me
see no oasis TO cheer my sad heart, or
strengthen and invigorate my wearied
limbs. No country, no friends, no lam.
ily, to whom can any longer give useful
service; but as poor, footsore and
worn out pilgrim, am left behind to my
own sorrowful solitude.
Second. Having firm reliance on
that God who gave me life, and believing
in His infinite mercy, know that He
will receive back my immortal spirit, to
deal with it in justice and mercy. l am
not afraid Of death, for the Saviour has
torn away its sting, and has shorn the
grave Of its rictory.
When | am gone, allow no man to
asperse my name with dishonor. | have
never knowingly wronged any human
being. That / have done wrong and
come short Of my duty is true, but at no
time have the appeals Of distress come
to my ears UNDECIDED, if it was in my
power to relieve them. have loved
God with all my heart and with all my
soul, and my neighbor as myself, and
have done unto Others as | would they
should do unto me.
Feeling thus, / am anxious TO 60 to
meet my God, and enjoy His glory, and
| hope and believe He will not spurn me
from His presence.
Believing | will meet you in the
spirit LAM" of the blessed, | now say
farewell. r. B. j. TwYMAS.

BeA. In England it has been proposed
and received with favor to institute a
system of accidental insurance for mi
ners, the mine owners paying the premi.
ums and insuring the men, while, on the
other hand, the companies are to issue
policies not to each individual by name,
but for such number of persons EN-.
ployed. The individual miners might
come or 60 without affecting the policy,
and in case of fatal accident in the mine
the insurance would be paid without
reference to identity of the victims, but
according to the number and rank of the
men. In this way, with the least amount
of trouble, the families would secure BEN
eft from the insurance.

WASHINGTON.

New YORK, December l0.-A Times
special says another veto may soon be
expected from the President The House
to-day passed, for the second time, the
bill to strike the word "whitn" from the
laws of this district regulating the selec-
ton of jurors, leaving colored tax payers
equally eligible with whites This bill
passed both branches of Congress in July
last, but was subjected to pocket veto
by the President. Should Congress take
its usual holiday recess, it will again

as the reason the President is not inn

not a conviction Of duty, has decided not
to impeaoh Mr.. Johnson" 1t further
says; I'VE trust that the victory which
Republicans hope to secure by this omis'
sion of duty may not slip from their
grasp" The confession of the truth
charged against it-that the measures Of
the Radical party look solely TO party
interests, and not at all to the interests
of the oountry--is thus caadidly made by
one of its most influential journals. The
blasphemous opinion of Thad. Stevens a

nA- The New York Herald, in allu-
sion to the declaration of the President
that he has declined the proposition Of
Great Britain to srbitrate, as to the
claim for spoilations by TIE Alabama,
saws the time has arrived when the
United States must Law down its ulti-
matum. Lord Stanley has declared that
"Great Britain will never submit to the
arbitration Of a foreign power claims in-
volving her right to recognize belliger-
ents." The United States denies the
right as exercised during the late war !;
and Of the issue thus made up, the
Herald says:
We do not yet know precisely the
results of the correspondence between
the British and the United States. Gov
ernnients on this very important point;
but at present it looks as if we had
reached the beginning of q tremendous
conflict between two powerful nations, as
10 who shall rule the ocean. Such con.
aict was waged between the Greeks and
the Persians in ancient times, and IN mod
ern times between England and Hol-
land. We have now developed to a mar
velous degree our national resources,
both az a military and a naval power
No great power is superior to us on the
ocean and serious collision between
the Governments of the United States
and Great Britain, however deeply to be
regretted for a variety Of reasons, might
lead to results little dreamed of at pres
ent by English statesmen, and likely TO
affect, to momentous degree, the des-
