MHAPPY DEATH.N

An interesting discussion ID going on IN
the English papers, apropos of an article
in recent number ofthe. Fortnightly Re-
view on justifable suicide. The writer
advanced the startling proposition that
.self.destruction, in certain cases. is not
only rightful, but positive act of duty.
In corroboration of this view Prot. fran
els Newman, brother of the famous Catho-
lie convert, and one of the most eminent
of English controversialists, writes to, the
Spectator, earnestly maintainingt the pro.
pricty of euthanasia in certain dllemlm1as,
and illustrating his position by torclble
examples. He instances the case OF a
party travelling rapidly througha remote
forest or desert, in which one OF them
becomes suddenly exhausted, If the
rest remain with him, all hands are GER
tain to be lost; if they leave him, he is
equally certain to perish. In such "a
auandary, Prof. Newman asserts that
suicide would be not only praisworthy
act, but one forced upon him as the only
alternative Of sacrificing the rest of the
party as well as himself. Another IL
iustration is that Of an aged person suffer
inc from an incurable disease, of the
fatal termination of which there is no
possibility of a doubt. As he fingers
along, he subjects tender relatives to the
danger of catching the disease, and to the
ruin of their hcalths. Were it not bet,
ter, asks the Professor, that he should
cut short his agonies, and at the same
time relieve those about him OF the con-
sequences of their soiicitude? But he
dose not propose that men should com
init suicide at their own caprice; the
rightfulncss of suicide in certain extreme
cases being once conceded, he would have
the whole thing regulated and system
atized by law. :,
AS in acts of marriage, will, and ad-
options, a system of legal registration
should be instituted, with a registrar
whose duty it should be to interrogate
the would be suicide, and ascertain be-
yond doubt his consent to the scf-sac'
riiice, rs well as the opinion of competent
physicians rs to the hopelessness OF hls
malady. Professor Newman would also
have the principle applied to the insane,
at least those who arc incurable, but who,
in lucid intervals might be able to com;
prehcnd the subject, and give rational
assent to voluntary taking off.

Savannah as n UarbOr-Lar gcst Cotton
Cargo.

The American ship Agcnor, which
cleared at the custom house yesterday
with 4,4SO bales. upland and l55 bales
sea island cotton, has on board the
largest amount Of the staple, in numbers
and weight, ever previously taken
on board of vessel at any of our
wharves. The Agcnor has on board over
two hundred bales more than she carried
out of Mobile, with apparently good
stowagc. She will be tOwed down the
river to-day drawing seventeen and a
half feet of water. The draft is not the
greatest, however, that has passed
through our channels successfully, lS
feet having gone down on the Springs.
Scr. RpuJltcan.
TO show the relative capacity of Port
Royal and Savannah harbor we need
only say that the Ager1or could be
brought up safely to Beaufort docks,
using high tides as at Savannah, while
from Fort Royal railroad docks, she
could depart with her seventeen and a
half feet Of water at the loacest tide OF
the year. Moreover she could sail out
without pilot if she chose to do so at
any lop tide. When we talk Of the
capacity. of our harbor we always speak
of ko,o tides When Charleston and Saw
annah speak of the same they always
mean high tides. That's the difference
about six feet.

The Governors Convention.

The convention which met at Atlanta on
the 20th inst, adjourned after brief but
stormy session of two days. Many con-
licting interests were represented which
failed to harmonize. About half the con
vention wished whatever improvement
undertaken to be entirely at the expense
and under the control of the general gov
ernment. The other part wished only aid
from the government to a corporation Gre
ated for the purpose Of making the canal.

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation
THE CALDWELL HOMICIDE CASE.
+ From the Republican, Mdy l6.

Capt. Upper has been brought in gull
ty of manslaughtcr for the killing of
Caldwell in Columbia last summer. lie
has appealed for new trial. The man
who is morally accountable for the death
of Caldwell * now attorney general OF
the State. Had he reiraipcd from a rut-
family and cowardly attack upon Mont.
gomery, CaLlwcll would have been alive
to-day and Upper would be free from
the memory Of dreadful deed. we
do not sec how an unbiased jury
could find verdict other than jn.si!ti-
able homicide in Upper case We
think he would havo been lawfully justi-
fled in killing all three of the Melton
party, and are only sorry that the most
culpable man Of the whole lot OF law
breakers not only escapes Scott free, but
lives to occupy one of the highest law
Offices of the State.
Because of the publication of the
above the attorney general of this
state has sent word by his chosen
friend Robert Small, Senator from
Beaufor, county, that he intends, 70
use his own words-to take the cd
itor Of the REPUBLICAN by the head,
open his mouth aud spit down his
throat.
The man may be recognized in
the matter of this threat aud in the
mode of it's communication. The
rreat success which attended the
last ''littlo difficulty in which he
was engaged cmbohcns him to try
another. The results Of that affair
may be intemized as follows: One
man, of inferior physical size and
strength, attacked from behind and
cruelty beaten; another man
killed q third wounded; q fourth
sentenced to hard labor for five
years; while the. prime cause OF all
is elected to be attorney general.
This is q marked success. Now, can
this bo repeated. He probably
thinks 80. He commences as usual
by selecting an opponent OF the
proper relative size and strength.
lie arranges tho succeeding steps
as follows: Tho Hero will be
steamed up with an extra quantity
of cold rye" or somc othcr form OF
"Dutch courage" He will then
call to his aid two stalwars friends.
The three will promenade the street
in full view of the victim, but will
not wink an unfriendly eye at him.
Having thus lulled him into unsus-
picious security, they will sneak be-
hind him as he sits at dinner, or
perhaps dozes after it. The
HYro will fall upon him, hurl
him to tho floor, take scat upon
his bowels and beat him until salts
fed. If the victim has prompt
friend one comradc of the Hero
may be killed and another wounded.
We hope that the attorney general
and exjudge will vary the monoto-
ny of the transaction in his contem-
plated assault OH the Editor of the
REPUBLICAN. Let him leave his
friends at home. He is certainly
big enough to attend to this bust
ness by himself. We will assure
him at any rate, that the editor
will do all in his power to change
the result in two particulars: If
any one is killed it will be one of
the principals, aud when he dimes
in Columbia he will take his scat
facing the door.

Reported Murder in LOudon County
Shocking Brutality

Rumors of a shocking murder on Mud
dy Creek i'm Loudon county, has been cur
rent for several days. On Tuesday last
passengers on the boat corroborate the re-
port The following is one of the several
versions of the affair, which may or may
or may not be true. We can't vouch for il,
but simply tell it as told us:
The account states that three men, one
day last week, visited the house of Mr..
James Rathers, on Muddy Creek in Lou
don county, and inquired for that gentle
man. Being told that he was at his saw
mill, they proceeded thither, and finding
their man, they assaulted him with clubs
and rails He was first struck in the face
with q club, the blow knocking him down,
then beat over the face and head in a
shocking manner. A rail was then placed
across his neck and large stone placed on
either end, in which condition he was left.
When found short while afterwards by
some of his neighbors, he was still alive,
but died shortly afterwards.
Various rumors are afloat in regard to the
tragedy, as well as its perpetrators. Par
ties presuming to know, state that the out
rage was committed by some well known
desperadUes of that locality, who took this
summary mode of vengeance against him
on account of some offensive act of his,
sometime ago, against them.
We trust the report may prove untrue
We think it quite likely it is somewhat ex-
aggerated.-Edst TeRResseean, 10th.

Strength of the United States Navy.

Old navy officers in Washington express
much satisfaction with the condition of
our navy, and say that, much as has been
said of the strength of the Spanish vessels
our monitors could sink any one of them in
few moments, if they did run away.
Even should war result it would not he,
excepting SO far as the Island of Cuba is
concerned, Il war of invasion on our part,
and the naval warfare would not be on the
high seas, but confined to the Cuban coast
and to ports of the United States which
many prominent officers here think would
be thoroughly protected by iron-clad mont
tors and torpedo distractions.
AS to our deficiency in rified ordnance,
it if said that for close work smooth bore
guns are quite as effective, and in this re-
spect our vessels are we'll armed.

BrOwnIOw VIII Have COMPANY.

Among the leading supporters of the
proposition TO initiate the currency in the

ten up in st, Louis, the closing paragraph
of which was as follows:
1--WE need about five hundred millions of
greenbacks added TO our present circula-
ton to enable us TO meet the wants of COM

He has not changed his mind regarding
this important subject since the date of
that letter, and still adheres to the convic-
