The Tenure-of-0mce Act.

The discussion in Congress on
the Ten ure-of- Office law, which has
lately taken place, when Invested of
all partizln feeling and prejudice,
clearly develops Il strong desire
among our wisest Legislators that
there should be law regulating the
respective powers and prerogativcs
of the Executive and the Senate.
which not only shall be general i'll
its application, but which shall give
each department of the government
clear aud defined powers, SO regula-
ted as to promote the highest good
Of the nation. 1t was an ancient
maxim that "the law is the soul of
the State The State should have
good laws, and laws should be en-
acted to regulate and govern the
action of honest and faithful public
servants as well as the action OF
corrupt and ambitious officials.
IT an officer has the highest good
of the republic in view, he will not
be irritated by good wholesome
law, even if it does impose some re
strictons on his prerogatlves. The
simple question is, does the welfare
and security of the nation require
that the Tcnurc-Oi- Office law should
remain on our statute books, OF
does it require that it should be re
pealed9
1t is of no account that it was en-
acted to meet some emergency, o.
that there is no need of such a Law
during the present administration
Some of the best State laws, an,
United States laws, of our countr
were not enacted until some suddc
emergency showed that We needle
such a law for the public safety
and we have a large body of jus
laws, whose powers and pcnalt II
are never invoked when the GOV
ernor and governed are law abiding
Yet this would be considered
very weak argument in favor {
repeating Their.
There should be no special legi
lation merely to crafty privat
ends, disregarding the common il
tercst and welfare of the whole PEI
pie, but because law is called tort
to remedy some present cXistin
evib which law may be beneficial
the country in the future, it shou
not be repealed because at Il
present time there appears to DE l
immediate use for it.
We do not attempt to say whet
or the law is Il just and wholcSon
one or not, but wish simply to ca
the attention to the view whic
should be taken of the law whl
discussing it. 1t is question
great importance to the future We
fare of the government, and shou
be discussed in the light of the i
quiry whetherit will tend to promo
n Just and foithiul administration
our government to allow the law
remain as it is, or whether the sal
will be promoted by its repeal.

Suicide in Italy.

FLORENCE correspondence New York Times
Suicide is much more common here
than might be expected, among SO care
less a people. / do not know the per-
centage for all Italy, but it must be
greater than with us. The pistol and the
pool are more commonly resorted to than
liquid poisons and the fumes of charcoal.
Love, loss of property and domestic in
felicity are the common causes but life
is taken for the most trivial reasons,
and by very young persons. Here in
Florence, We have just had three cases
in single day. A girl of seventeen
throws herself from the Ponte Vscchio,
because she is discharged from domestic
service, for some petty detection. The
spectacle was a remarkable one. At
least thousand persons, mostly men,
lined the quay and bridges, and with
mute curiosity saw, for fifteen minutes, a
human creature struggling in the water,
and not a hand or foot was moved to
save.
I A bark, bearing policeman. arrived
very leisurely, and fshed the body from
the bottom, and then an unofficial ply
sician pronounced life extinct, and an
other policeman, in due course, rendered
the verdict. 5s.
Another case was that of young
man, employed in the Government SER
vice, who blew out his brains in the
Gascine, lately become rather favorite
place for suicides. He had written
dozen letters, eaten a meal at trattoria
near by, taken off part of his clothes
and folded them in newspapers, SO that
they might not be soiled with his blood,
and inclosed note requesting that these
and the pistol might be given to the
woman with whom he had been lodged.
The reason given for his selftaking-off
was that he had not been sufficiently af-
fectionate and grateful to his parents.
Thus one sees what are some of the mo-
tives for Italian suicide.
