sensible document, even the World

it indulges its small soul in sundry
criticisms, and attempts at weak wit
at the expense of the Presidents
style of composition. Mr.. Lincoln
quietly remarked once, with refer

Mr.. Seward-"Never mind that, Mr.
Secretary, the people will under

SUICIDE BY SMALLPOX.

The Steubenville Herald of 4th
inst, has the following: A singular
case Of disregard for life, by court
ing dangerous contagion, came to
our notice this morning,in the death
of a young man from smallpox.
The deceased went from this city
to Pittsburgh, and of his own ac-
cord applied for and obtained sit
uation at a hospital where several
violent cases of smallpox were, fol
the purpose he claimed afterwards,
of contracting the disease that he
might die. He continued in the
handling of smallpox patients and
corpses for several weeks, and re-
turned home some ten days since,
and told his exploits among the
'stiffs' of the dread contagion, say
ing he wished he would take the
smallpox, that he was tired of life
and wanted God Almighty to take
it." He had his wish.
In few days after making the
reckless remark, he was stricken
with the disease in the most violent
form,his physicians pronouncing his
case almost hopeless from the first.
This morning he died, and was con-
veyed to the last earthly tenement,
where the troubles of life cease. In
his death the circumstances are pc
culiar; the wish EXPIRE ssed, and the
means taken to contract the disease
as stated, were a new method Of
getting rid of life. -a j.. fsi. .

We are glad to see our Democrat

man, Hon. Jas. Monroe. The
Farmer spoke of him as candidate

we would say that Sherman has
been and is a very useful member in

least objection to his re election. II

MEXICO.

The news from Mexico shows
that affairs there grow steadily
worse. A general disafection ex
lists among the people, and the gov.
ernment, unable to trust its own of.
ficials, either civil or military, is al
a loss as to what course to pursue
The Newspapers are filled with pro-
nunciamentos, to the terror of the
loyalists. Meantime the revolution
lists have already begun quarreling
among themselves, and the two
brothers Diaz, the one a General in
command ofthe revolutionary army
and the other an aspirant for the
Presidency, are at cross-purposes.
To add to the uncertainty of the
situation, an absurd rumor has been
put into circulation, to the effect
that the United States government
contemplates some sort of interfer-
ence-a rumor which appears to
alarm the Mexicans of all parties
very much, though precisely why
such people should fear anything
which will give them peace and Or
der, is not very clear.

PRINCE OF WALES.

The Prince of Wales is lying al
the point of death. His disease is
typhoid fever. He had been dan
gerously i'll for some time,
but was getting better and was
thought at one time to be out OF
danger, when relapse set in and
brought him to the brink of the
grave. He has been unconscious
since the first of the month with
one or two days exception. Active
sympathy everywhere was manifest
ed. The latest dispatch on Mon
day evening stated that the Prince
was restless during the afternoon
but his exhaustion is not in
creainp.

A RIDICULOUS STORY.

n" A ridiculous story comes from
Washington that the Democrats, ,un.
der the management of the Blairs
are concocting scheme for the i'm.
peachment. Of President Grant in
connection with the San Domingo
business. The tale is too absurd
for belief, but were true,the scheme
itself would have been the height OF
folly. An attempt to impeach the
President on such utterly untenable
ground would be so malicious that
disgust with the conspirators and
sympathy for their intended victim
would re-elect Grant by lupp1ece-
dented majorities, and bury the
Democratic party beyond the reach

INDIAN QUESTION.

The Pittsburg Dispatch commen
ting on the report of the Secretary
of the Interior says:
The report of the Secretary OF
the Interior is the only document
sent to Congress that gives any idea
of the magnitude of the Indian
question. 1t shows that over nine
ty-six millions of acres of the soil
of the United States are occupied
as reservations by $4,000 Indians.
In other words,a population not ex-
ceeded in number by that of the
cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny,
occupy an area of land rather larger
than that of the States of New
York and Pennsylvania, with the
area of the six New England States
added. We do not expect that the
Indians will ever,be brought within
space relatively SO small as that oc-
cupied by the eleven. and a half
millions of people living in the eight
States referred to. But it will be
generally agreed that one Indian
cannot be permitted forever to oc-
cupy space more than sufficient for
sIxty-six civilized men.
An allotment of 55S acres a head
more than we can afford to grant
the red man at the present rate of
our increase of population. Senti-
mental reasons, based upon first oc-
cupahcy and SO forth, ,are well enough
in their way, but apt to lead US into
very gross absurdities, The policy
of bringing all our quarter of a
million of Indians within the limits
of single territory, where there is
room enough for them all, will more
!mperatively demand enforcement
every year, ,..-f '..-. .r...

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The allusion to Cuba in the Pres
ident's Message was considered
tame and unsatisfactory by Cuban
partisans in this country, but it was
strong enough to make a commotion
in Europe. The Spanish Govern.
ment is alarmed, ,and that paragraph
in the Message is the subject Of
hurried, diplomatic conferences with
all the leading European Govern
ments. Additional Spanish forces
are to be dispatched at once to Cuba,
and the Spanish minister at Wash
ington has been charged with i'm
portant instructions concerning the
situation.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message meets
with the most hearty approval on
all hands. Even the Democratic
papers acknowledge its soundness,
and agree that it is a very sensible
document. 1t refers to the friendly
relation of the United States with
foreign countries, to the process of
civilization at home and abroad, and
and makes a variety of suggestions
proper to the effective carrying out
of the different provisions of the
late treaty with Great Britain the
Importance of which, as the harbin-
ger of a more pacific mode of set
tling international disputes,is terse-
ly, but forcibly, dwelt upon. One
of the most important portions of
the Message is that which in view
of the rapid reduction of the pub
lie debt, and the Strengthening of
the national credit which has fol-
lowed its accomplishment,questio
the desirability of continuing to
tax the resources of the country in
the degree hitherto done, and rec
commends a decrease in the rate of
payment, and a modification of both
the tariff and internal revenue laws
by abolishing all internal taxes ex-
cept those collected from tobacco,
stamps and vinous and malt liquors,
and placing on the free list "those
articles which can best bear it with
out disturbing home productions or
reducing the wages of American
labor. This idea will meet with ap-
proval from all class.
The statements of the Message
with respect to the Indians,the Nor
mons, land the Ku-klux of the South
accord with the recent policy of the
Administration in regard to these
matters. Contrary, however,to gen
eral anticipation, it takes broad and
liberal ground in favor of the re-
moval of the disabilities imposed
by the Fourteenth Amendment, and
in SO doing commends itself still
further to the Endorsement of a very
large portion of the most intelligent
and thoughtful citizens of the coun-
try.
Taken altogether, the Message
will give general satisfaction, and
