becomefan absolute miser, and has fears
of coming speedily to the aims house.
Her servants table, it is added, is so

States will be represented; it will meet
in Columbia, South Carolina, on the

of each is consultation ION matters con-

The army Of the United States num-

troops enough to protect our Western
frontier from the depredations of hostile
tribes of Indians. There are occupied
in the dirty work of the Government
four companies in the States of South
Carolina and Georgia each, three in Mis-
sissippi and FLORIDA, ten in Louisiana,
in Alabama six, Arkansas one, Tonnes
see eight, Texas forty, Sin Kentucky
ten, in all eighty nine companies, mum
beripg probably not less than ten thou
sand men. If these troops were prop
erley employed, we should cease to hear
ofany Indian depredatiens on the fontier.
No man has more earnestly denounced
the policy of the administration, in this
particular, than General Sherman.

EsfennIaI Sessions of Our Leg
SSHafsara


80 One of the most powerful influences
which induced the people Of Kentucky
ssto call constitutional convention 2 IN
1919, was the excessive legislation and
consequently the excessive expenditures,
which then afflicted us. In obedience to
gthis demand the framersrof the present
e consultation. provided that our Legis
lature should meet once in two years,
limiting each session to sixty days, but
Z provided thata session might be extend
led by vote of txo,fhirds of each house.
I,The power to extendsa session was given
to provide Tor extraordinary emergencies,
the. trainers relying that the patriotic
representatives of the people, supposed
to possess that virtue, intelligence, and
patriotism about which we hear so much,
would continue the session only when
great questions of public interest and
public necessity required it.e There is
no truer maxim, and thank G cd the PEG
pie of Kentucky in 1919, as now, were
satisfied of =, that the world is governed
too much. Notwithstanding the con
stitution makes our Legislative meetings
biennial and limits each session to sixty
days, the peopt we'll know that it as,
,sembles. annually and continues every
session beyond the constitutional time.
Is the character of legislation transacted
in these extraordinary sessions Of suf-
fcient public interest to demand such ex-
q. traordinary expenditures !? Each extra
ordinary session costs the people about
$780, 600, and this additional taxation is
all the fruitthe people obtain from them
Its an absolute fact that the laws made
at one term of the Legislature, by the
time it passes through the printers and
binders hands, does not reach distant
portions of the State, before another
term is hammeriag away for their repeal
or amendment. Even our most vigilant
lawyers dc not pretend to keep up with
this fast line Law making institution.
There is too much money and too much
time spent in legislation. The Democ-
racy should demand Of their Representa-.
tives, who are responsible, to stop this
annual sitting, Tie people grOan under
excessive legislation, and no reform is
louder called for than the observance Of
she limitation upon the sessions.
N We mention the subject thus early, be-,
cause many members are norbidly sen
sitive to newspaper comments when the
Legislature is in session, and might at
tribute the suggestion to other motives
than the true ones. IF tie democratic
papers of the State viii bring the point
10 the attention of the public, we do not
doubt the members elect, will 60 to
Frankfort, with direct and positive in
structions from thepeople to discontinue
these annual sessions. 1t viii save our
people $4,000 a year.

Republican, of last Saturday. Thomas
Roseberry was set upon near Hunting

was Deputy Collector of internal Rev

deed was committed by Radical Ku kiux

The California EIecffons.

1t is evident. Notwithstanding the
.meagre reports which come from Califor-
MIA, that the Democrats have sustained
loss there, and that Booth, he Radical
candidate, is elected Governor over
Haight, Democrat. The resalt in San
Francisco is special matter o. surprise,
as, while it is reasonably expected that
it would give Haight majority, it went
against him by several THOUSAND This
would seem to give some color to the
report; that the election of Booth was
secured through the most lavish expen-
diture of money the Bank of California,
with its hundred millions at command,
having entered into the contest in bis
behalf with open and unstiuted liberality.

In view of the construction of othe
Mississippi river railway, the Hickman
Courier suggests building railroad from
: Hickman to Troy Station. To prove the
necessity for this road, the Courier says !:
yea 'sThe principle trade of Hickman now
comes from the lover part of Obion aud
northern Dyer, witch by the Troy con
3 neetien, she would continue to hold;
siwithou. it, it is more than probable it
i6wesld find its way to Paducah and
Memphis" hns y sesapss = s.is
This is the right way to meet the cues.
ton If trade is to be cut off by new
roads, don't sit still and repine about ii,
5sbut go to work aud hedge by constructing
other roads. This is the trueispirit and
the one that will enable Hickman to re-.
tain her trade Paduca1 Keatuekfdan.
H1cKMAN is agitating for the con-
sstruction Of a narrow guage railroad to
~ Troy Station, where the Mobile and
e Ohio road'is intersecteed by the Miss
issippi river road, that is to becompleted
70 Memphis il less than two years. A
,lailroad from Troy to. Holly Springs,
Miss is also protected, and as it viii
pass throug h .Somcrville and Brownsville,
there is. a strong probability, that'it viii
=. be built at an. early day. The Paducah
/. and Gulf road will be completed to Troy
by the FIRST of January 1877. 1t thus
seems if Froy was destined to be a
place of very considerable Importance in
the future.-Lousrtile Sun.

Suicide in Amherst,

On Sunday morning the citizens of
North Amherst, Lorain county, were
shocked at the intelligence that Fred
erick Schielly, an old citizen Of that
township, had committed suicide by
hanging. The particulars, as far as
we could learn them, of the suicide,
are as fnllows:.
Schie!ly had been to town Satur-
day and returned home in the evening
under the influence of liquor. He
and his wife had some words, when
he went out to the barn and laid
down. Shortly afterward his wife
followed him AMI found him asleep.
She did not arouse him from his
slumbers, but returned to the house,
thinking that after he. had slept off
the fumes of the liquor he would make
his appearance Early Sunday morn
ing, ne not having made his appear
ance, she went in quest of him. Upon
entering the barn, she was shocked to
find him hanging by the neck, and lite
extinct. Mr.. Shelly was a man
about forty-ive years of age.

The Mania for Suicide.

Our readers must have noticed that
reports of suicides appear in the dis
patches very frequently lately. The
mania for self-destruction seems to
have become epidemic. Men and
women in trouble, blow out their
brains with pistols, or cut their threats
with razors, or throw them selves under
the wheels Of passing locomotives, OF
toss OFF glasses OF laudanum, or pitch
head first into rivers or ponds, as
though such were the most ordinary
acts in the world. Sometimes it is a
love disappointment ; sometimes do
mestic quarrel /; " perhaps a pecunia.
~ difficulty: prompts them to the act.
Imp curiosity may be said, indeed, to
be the chief incentive to suicide
Nothing will quicker sink a man into
the depths OF dispair. Money means
comfort, happiness and wife and
little ones cared for as they ought to
be; let it be wanting, without the
slightest prospect that the want can be
supplied, and a weight is put on the
mind of a man that is indeed hard to
bear. Men are killing themselves ev-
cry day because the anxiety born of
this cause drives them to destruction.
Sometimes the husband insures his
life, and thus, may be provides his
wife and babies with the support he
could not give them in life but often
er, the poor wretch, in his anxiety to
get out of the world, is incapable Of
foresight, and consequently does
as mean and cowardly an act as is
conceivable.
So long as suffering, and want, and
In it, various guises exist. just
20 long will we have self murder. As
human nature is now constituted there
Is no remedy for the malady. Plain
