The list of suicides is increas-
ing at a melancholy rate. Love,
jealousy and want seem. to be
the most frequent causes. New
York has had two recent suicides
on ferry boats-one of young
lady who threw herself over
board, and the other of a man
who leaned over the-rail and
then fired the fatal shot, falling
into the water. One of the sad.
dest suicides recorded lately was
that of N ellie Acton, Il beautiful
young lady of Chillicothe, who
took arsenic one day last week.
Unrequited love vas tn reason
she assigned for the fatal step.

From late reports we r not
done with the Cuban business
yet. The Government of Great
Britain has discovered cause for
affront, it seems, in the action OF
the Spanish ~cut-throats az, ST
Jago, and has determined to in
siat upon the punishment of Bur
riel. Several of the murdered
Virginius crew were subjects of
Great Britain, and it is more
than likely that some ~reparation
will have to be made. The
British fleet in the West Indies
haa been ordered to rendezvous
in Cuban waters. TIL g looks
marvelously like business.

view of the recent elections /:
1.-The Republic an party is more
completely biighted by the Oc-

than the opposition was by those
Of last year, and for two rea~-
ons: (1) That the Republican
party is essentially a party ofthe
past, having no bond OF union
but the spoils Of Office. and e,
that it has now'to contend viii

That stupendous scamp, Rev
erend General O.. O. HOWARD, is
at last in a fair way of being
placed properly on the pillory of
general public execration, as a
plunderer without scrupie. AL
though struggling for years to
hide his viIlainies from expos
ure-in which he had the zeal
Gus cooperative aid of Grant
and most of his cabinet--his
crimes have at last come to the
surface in such obnoxious shape
that the Secretary of War even
has. sent the evidences to Con
gress for an investigation. One
item of plumber, hidden under
his pious. cloak and canting pray
ers and sermons, for a number OF
years, looms up at $250,000.

We think we remember a
time-it was not long ago either
when most of the preachers in
the land were Republican stump
speak ers, and when the outgiv-
ings of the pulpit were principal
ly, instead of religious OF moral,
warlike or political. The croI,
of saints like Reverend Colonel
Granville Moody, and others OF
that like, was then something
fearful. Then came a crop Of
"Christian Statesmen" composed
Of congressman like Coltax, Har-
Ian aud Wilson, and of "Chris-
tian Soldiers" like Howard, near
ly all OF whom have recently
been caught either at taking
brides Oh downright stealing.
Seeing therefore that the "Chris-
tim Statesman and the "Chris-
tian Soldiers are both failures,
when manufactured out of such
common clay as Republican pol
iticians, would it-n1t be>well for
our preachers to profit by expe>
rience of the past few years, and
get back 10 teaching old fashion
ed, common morality and simple
They might then make
"Christian men, so long as they
lie, or steal, or take brides,
and cover it all up under a cloak
of pretended piety aud official
dignity.

The House committees Of the
Forty-third Congress are:
Butler is chairman of the Ju.
dietary!
Dawes, of Ways and Means!
Garfield, of Appropriations!
Scofeld, of Naval Affairs!
Three salary grabbers and
three CONSPICUOUS figures in the
Credit Mobilier fraud and bribery
cases of last winter. Butler en-
gineered the salary grab through,
and together with Dawes and
Scofeld, pocketed the money.
Dawes, Garfield and Scoield
were all implicated in the Credit
Mobilier, and Butler defended
them in a speech before the
House. That good and guiltless
man, Speaker Blaine, is respon-
sible for this, and Blaine wants
to be President. If he appoints

somebody remembered that he
had been a member of the Radi-
cal Congress of 1866, which had
been guilty of The same kind OF

Among the matters that will
cngross the attention of Congress
at the p esent session will be the
consideration of a constitutional
amendment changing the method
of electing the President aud
Vice President. a committee Of
the Senate has had the subject in
consideration during the recess.
This committee, of which Sena-
tor Morton is chairman, are un
derstood as having agreed upon
an amendment to the present
system, which will be submitted
to the Senate for consideration,
It does away with Electoral
Colleges by enabling the voter
to vote direct for the candidate
for President or Vice President
whom he prefers. 1t also creates
a tribunal for the decision of dis.
putes which may arise about the
legality of any portion OF. the
election.

been excited over the very mysterious
appearance OF a young lady named
Jane Lamping. For the first few days
no trace of her whatever could be
found, then it was announced that she
had taken service in a gentleman's
family, having been compelled to leave
her home owing to the unkindness of
her parents. Thisreport was however
groilndless. Cupid was at the bottom
oft, and Cupid this time was assisted
by sexton, not by occupation but by
name. Since the young lady's disap-
pearance Sexton (who was known to
be sweet OH herr had acted in SO scared
a manner, that it was thought well to
watch him. It was discovered that he
continually received letters, in the
name ofReid, through the postoff1ce.
One of these letters apparently was
read by the police officer In charge of
the ease; it was then found that the
young lady was an inmate of the
Founding Hospital, under the name
of Jessie Reid, whittier she had flown
until such times as her lover could af-
ford to marry her. Sections conduct
aroused the Indignation of the father
and mother Lamping, but the even
flow of existence, with the prospect OF
future happiness or nursery, was es-
tablished on Friday by the marriage Of
the young man to the runaway. Oh,
there's nothing half SO sweet in life
as loves young dream"
ADJUSTMENTS,
1t has been bad week for theatrical
managers-empty benches the order
of tho night, and empty treasures the
natural result. At the California a new
play was produced last night, which
promises to draw we'll. "Geneva
Cross" is the title, and the posters an
nouncing its. production would do cred
it to a circus agent. At the Opera
House, the Opera Bouffe company are
having little rest, which they must
certainly require, as they have been
indefatigable for some time past. The
programme now is short opera and
a shorter comedy, instead Of one long
opera. Madame Anna Bishop is again
with us. She advertises grand fare
we'll concerts for this week.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Acertain young actress who appears

currence. One very wretehed man will
