Suicide.

PORTLAND, apr ~, IooO
10 the Editor of the Press
/ saw in your paper this morning some re-
marks respecting the frequency OF suicide
Its existence is deplorable. L have long
thought much upon this subject, and of some
of the causes which lead to it, Among other
causes. is that of publicity. If newspapers
would stop publishing such cases, think
there would not be so many of them. There
are many meritoriouS, despor ding people, " no
are more or less disposed to take themselves
away from care and sorrow; yet they hardy
dare attempt it, but every account OF
suicide they read OF hear of excites them anew,
and helps to disarm their fears and nerves
them to do the deed themselves; Ihefe is
another obj elton to publishing such accounts.
referto the friends OF tnose VINO mus de,
part None but those who have had the trial
know the grief that is often felt by remaining
friends; and every time they see a new case
of this kind it opens the old wound, and
they live over again the sorrows of the past.
And who is benefited by such intelligence?
None but newsmongers and people OF very
depraved taste whose wishes should never De
gratified at the awful sacrifice which is made
Tor them. Did you, and other managers OF tne
public press, view the subject as L view IT.
and feel, as I have been maSc to feel 1t, there
would never be another account of suicide
published while the world shall stand.
Pro BoNo PUBLIco.
We can heartily sympathze with persons
whose experience has been like that of the
writer of the above communication, and if
we could agree with him that the suicidal ma
MIA is in the slightest degree stimulated by pub
lished accounts of self-destruction we should
promptly accede to his wishes. But experience
shows that the results of sorrow, crime and
! injustice are not to be evaded by keeping
them from the knowledge of the public.
Evil of every kind thrives most vigorously
in secret, and it is one of the functions not
only of the pulpit, but of journalism and of
other branches of literature, to call attention,
DANGEROUSLY if need be- to such wrongs and
msfoI tunes as wide survey of contempora-
neous events enables it to decide upon as the
most destructive. This Office is one of the
most important belonging TO the newspaper
press. The premonitory symptoms of COM
ing reform now almost always take the form
of newspaper discussion The alarming preva-
lence of suicide points to such deplorable So
cial and moral evils that the public safety de-
mands full knowledge of their existence and
an earnest effort for reform.

WE had serious thoughts yesterday morning
of giving the Weather clerk "putf" for the
pleasant day that seemed to be in store for us,
but in the afternoon. when it clouded up, with
cold raw wind from the Southeast, we
changed our mind, and at the time of writing
our feeling towards him is like that of the Ku
Klux Khan towards Ben Butler, with probably
about the same effect

chusettes Regiment which suffered the first
loss during the war, having three men killed
and thirty SIX wounded while marching
through Baltimore April 10Th, 1861, held re-
union-at Lowell on Monday. Only two hun

the reason assignedis that great many MEM

and their record is shown in unmarked South

A PLEASANT SIaHT.-Laborers were eng aged
yesterday on Exchange street in collecting the

with instruments called hoes, the first of which
was brought to this country by our forefathers

be seen as of yore, and to-day it will be safe to
cross at any point.

a man from the other side of Commercial

done there,

New YORK has two new enterprises of con-
siderable Importance on hand. The first is an
underground railroad from City Hall to Forty
second street. This has been authorized by
the legislature, though there was considerable
opposition from many quarters. The railroad
is to be completed within three years, and an
iron tubular tunnel between New York and
Brooklyn is to be begun within year and
completed within five years.

Mr. ROBINSON, M. c., of New York, thought
1t proper yesterday to test the feeling of the
House of Representatives on impeachment.
The result must have been highly gratifying
to his Democratic friends, for the House reject
ed his resolution resembling the articles of i'm
parchment and recalling the managers by a
vote of 81 to IS. Mr.. Robinson has mental
characteristics of the strongest Hibernian
type. If the Senate is in need of any moral
support to quicken its perceptions of the i'm
portance of convictng the President nothing
could answer that purpose better than the
stern adherence Of the House to its original de-
sign. Mr.. Robinson would probably be the
last man in the world to hurt the President
cause Intentionally.
