POLITICAL MOTIFS.

CONGRESSMAN James Ii. Beck OF Kentucky
has authorized the announcement that he Will not be
candidate for reeioctioh.
The Ohio Constitutional Convention has re-
fused 10 pass an amendment making women eligible to
positions on the School Boards.
There seems to be a general belief on the
part OF the ID OF all parties that ID good time
for Secretary Richardson to resign There are however
few organs which defend hun since the Sanborn reye-
latlons and among them IL TIE NeU Hapea Palladium.
which thinks tho Secretary has been very unjustiy
criticised in connection with the Sanborn contracts.
They were de by Mr.. Boutwell,. who should bear the
blame i there IL anything wrong IN them.'
Tie ;5,ss;tcni,ling course of Secretary Richard
son in regard 10 furnishing official papers IN the
Infamous Sanborn contract business appears TO have
disguised almost everybody Even The Boston Journal.
which is without doubt the most devoted organ
in the country at present. takes occasion
TO remark "wny It such hard work to get the San
born documents out OF the Treasury Department. 1t is
like drawing a charge from u gun with the most
energetic pressure and twisting only FRAGMENTS can DO
got out at time, when the whole ought u have been
discharged freely at the first call or Congress"
The situation of political affairs in Rhode
Island 80 far as the Senatorial contest Is concerned

field for reelection has resulted In split IN his old OPP
ponens the Brown aud Ives faction. and the singular
spectace is presented OF Senator Anthony organ The
Providence Journal supporting one candidate and the
leading members OF the great family" another. The
Journal Is in favor OF ex Congressman Dixon and the
"fanlly" Is marshaled behind the pompous figure Of
Gen. Burnside. Which side will win is very doubtful
question. Tho unnhuenced sentiment Of the State is
probably In favor OF Mr Dixon whose honesty aud

To the editor of the New York Tribune:
SIR--Yor correspondent, G. c. c.,
alludes to the growing interest in
the subject of incremation, and mem
tons the fact that no less u parsonage
than Sir Henry Thompson urges it in
the Contemporary Review. | hail the
prospect of even n remote deliVerance
from the custom of burying the dead,
which, but for popular prejudice, might
be changed within year; and the
foul gases from physical putretacti, II,
the horrible Potter's Fieldscenes which
you are reporting, and the frighttul
practice of body-snatching from the
grave to the dissecting room, would
pass into history. ~
Every consideration and argument
seems to favor the chemical burning of
the body, and could we think of the
present custom of burial without pre-
judice of education, it would certainly
present most repulsive aspect, dis
graceful to our high enlightenment.
Will our scientists take note of what
is passing regarding this subject, and
give us their views?
An article in the London Index,
written by the eminent English cler-
gyman, the Rev. Charles Noysey,
favors the burning of the body, and
makes suggestions for the deposit OF
the ashes in appropriate urns. There
will be then none of the loathsomeness
of corruption in these memorials: mo
horror of dark vaults and damp
graves, with their secthing corrup-
ton No precious body being eaten
piecemeal by worms of the earth,
or melting away in lOathsome
stream. The form is changed; the
substance really remaining after chem
ical burning is not in the least sngges-
tive of the past or the future. The
body is saved thereby from every pos
sible dishonor, purified from every de-
cav. No words can describe the relief
which such process would bring to
many and many an afflicted survivor"
81 know" he says, "of an old cemetery
which is now occupied by cooperage,
and which is constantly wet with stag
nant water. All around it typhus fever
is perpetuaily raging. The danger
would not be so great if the bodies were
buried without collins. The earth
would sooner disinfect them; but, rs it
is, the mischief is nursed and multi
Piled Il hundred fold by the process Of
decay being delayed"
Trusting this subject may create a
widespread interest and general dis-
custom, am yours,
II. A. MANNING.
