SUICIDES IN New YoRK.-We have
already had four suicides in the city
this year-thc double suicide las we
must call it) in Elizabeth street, the
suicide of n rich young man In Fifth
avenue, and the suicide of a poor old
woman in Division street. One of
these victims used a razor, another a
rope, and the other two were taken
off by a revolver. One of these self
murders was induced by intolerable
grief, another by dread Of restitution,
and the double suicide was the climax
of a guilty amour. We had In the city
last year no less than Ill cases Of SUI
eide, so of which were men and 81
women. OF the men, 90 shot them
selves, % poisoned themselves, and Is
hung themselves ; but Of the women
none resorted to shooting, and only
one hung herself. Poisoning and
drowning were the most common
modes Of self-destruction among the
women. Fifteen of the female sui
cides poisoned themselves, 10 drowned
themselves; and of the others, three
stabbed themselves, two cut their
threats, and one jumped from n win
dow. OF the whole number Of suicides
nearly one-half Tor GO) were Germans,
while % were Americans and 20 were
Of Irish nativity. The record Is at once
appalling and disgraceful.-N. i. Tn-

CONGRESSIONAL
Senate.

.". b. Senutes
CHICAGO, January l3.-The session
of the Senate yesterday was devoted
to debate OH the Virginia bill.
Sumner submitted n memorial from
certain Republicans of Virginia now
In Washington, containing n statement
of affairs In that State. The memorial
declares that a majority Of the men,
bers Of the Virginia Legislature were
elected by fraud, violence and intim-
idation; that the right of secession is
believed In now as firmly us before the
war; that the pledge Of the Walker
party to carry out the new constitution
was given to deceive Congress and gain
admission. 1t also claimed that Gov
ernor Walker was a copperhead during
the war, and In full sympathy with the
rebellion. He was president Of o club
In Chicago organized to rescue rebel
prisoners from Camp Douglas, and his
political procliyities have undergone
no change that during the canvass he
declared his desire to vote for General
Lee, because he was the greatest soldier
| of the age, and since his election has
publicly spoken Of Virginia as under
usurpation and tyranny. The memo
rial concludes by protesting against
the admission of Virginia. Several
| Senators called for the reading of the
names signing the memorial, which
were thirteen In all.
Nye thought tho communication dis
respectful, and should be excluded
from the Senate. He expressed sur
prise that Sumner should present such
a paper, and declared that not one OF
the charges against Walker was true.
The records Of the War Department
show that he offered his services to put
down the rebellion. Nyc was tired OF
the reconstruction hobby, which had
been ridden through Congress so many
years.
Stewart defended Walker and de-
nounced the efforts of the mcmorialists
as actuated by sinister motives. lie
said several Of the signcrs were de-
feated candidates for office and Office
holders who will be put out by the
admission Of Virginia.
Sumner charged the Senator's from,
Nevada with having gone over to the
Democrats OH this question.
Stewart replied, saying he would
exercise his own responsibility, and
did not recognize Summers claim to
superiority.
Pending the debate, the Senate adj
journed. aa

Rev. Mr.. Cooke, whose telopement
with Miss Johnson created such scam

New York, january .13.-The err
rant divine, Rev. Horace Cooke, while
In the hands Of the police last night,
advanced the extraordinary theory
that the press noticing his elopement
was animated solely with n desire to
attack the Christian, religion, particu-
larly the church Of which he was q
member. It was ascertained that
Cooke returned to the city yesterday
from an excursion and sent Miss john
son to her parents. He went home,
bnndifhed q pistol, and frightened his
family OF. Friends induced him to
give up the weapon before he did any
Injury. He then wandered down town
until he came across u newspaper man,
whom he proceeded at once to immo-
late. Friends of Miss johnson are sat
isfed that the young lady had returned
| from her enforced tour pure as she
went away. Cooke published n piOus
appeal in the Tribune this morning that
the press did not paint him .blacker

ESI.NRarSG OUR SrNrE.-We find
the following sluib in u Washington
letter of January 9TH, to the Philadel-
phia Press. What in the devil the OBJ
ject of Senator Stewart can be, in try
ing to get more barren country to this
State. il something that must be a mys
terry to everybody acquainted with the
region spoken Of to be annexed. The
1900 population to be added by such
annexation Of a wild desert Is simply
humbug. This State is t%erritorially
large enough for all useful purposes
now. and it seems difficult for any one
of Mr.. Stewards constituents to guess
what desirable acquisition there can
possibly be in the salt brine of Salt
Lakc-barren as 1t Is ofeyen fish, or
timber in its neighborhood. Two OBJ
.jects might be accomplished, and these
are to remove the Capital Of the State
out somewhere on the Pacific Railroad
and another, to collect several thou
sand dollars more taxes each year
from the Central Pacific Railroad. If
the first u Of the differences Is cor
rect, We would advise the Carsonites to
be ON the alert. Here Is what the
Washington letter writer says In the
Press:
SEvADA.-Ssnstor Stewart will present a
bill to enlarge the State Of Nevada. BY an
nexing thereto a part Of Utah and Idaho.
making his proposed State rather irreeulsr
in shape. and taking in a par, Of the Pacific

For our ship TO come from sea?

Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the print Of rosy fingers

Strewn along our backward track!

Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that srfMmer skies aud sunshine
Never seem one-half SO fair
Az when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the mir.
Lips from which the sea Of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty ~
AZ adorns the mouth today
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to US 10 sweeter accents, E.MeG r

Lying all around our pathi

Casting out the thorns and ehaff;

In the blessings Of to-day,
With q patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

we experienced n sudden and remark
able change in the weather. The sky

wind and rain set in, which continued
all the morning and this forenoon.
The wind-storm during the dark hours
of the early morn were indeed sadly
mournful, and could not but remind us
of the lines which Bayard Taylor
wrote on a stormy night:
"Speed swifter, night-wild Northern night,
Whose feet the arctic islands know,
When stifening breakers, sharp and white,
Grid the complaining shores Of snow,
Send all thy winds to sweep the void,
And howl in mountain passes fsrj
And hang thy banners red and cold
Against the shield Of every star!"
