THE MANIA FOR SELF-D ESrRUC.
TON.

The thoughtful reader of the daily
press must be forcibly stru k with the
alarming number of suicides which
have lately taken place in the country.
The police records would appear to
show an increase of the crime and an
enhancement of it's popularity. and
daily perusal of our exchanges discloses
the fact that this increase is not pecu-
liar to one place. We find that suic de
is steadily gaining ground throughout
the United States, and is oven still
moro popular in Europe.
Recently, French paper published
statistics, which showed that the num-
Der of deaths by suicide in France and
Germany was greater than the increase
of population, and that the suicides in
the latter country exceeded those of
the former in proportion to the total
number of people. At this rate, if the
mania for self-destruction progresses
in the ratio of it's increase within the
past ten years, the population of these
countries will be gradually decimated,
and finally, in the space OF, perhaps,
two hundred years, become totally ex-
tinct. 1t is difficult, however, to be-
ieve these statistics, and for our part.
we candidly confess an entire incredu
lily.
The same growth is observa de in
Great Britain, its votaries be ng chiefly
of the poorer classes. Suicide has al
ways been a noted feature in the Brit
ish army, and with non-eommissioned
officers more than with soldiers of any
other rank.
These are strange appearances which
present themselves with the growth
and progress of civilization. Suicide
was q means of death almost unknown
to the age which preceded the heroic.
In the halcyon days of Greece and
Rome we find it was resorted to only
in an extreme case of violated honor.
and then among the patricians and
great ones alone. 1t was only when .
higher and more elevated Christianity
became known in Western Europe that
suicides Of the present stamp came in
to vogue, and with the last decade it
has grown to alarming proportions.
In the words of Shakespear we would
say, :. There's something in it more

ANITRr1 ron THE CONVENTION.

Under the late census the popula-
ton of New Orleans stands 145, 900
whites, and $1,000 colored: but under
the laws of the State the Board of
School Trustees of the city is composed
of majority of negroes. and the re-
naming members are white Radicals.
Under the lead of Pinchback, the
board have imported negro teachers
for white children. The conseque. ce
is the withdrawal of the whites from
the schools, which are being mainly
supported by them.
The Conservative party in the Con
vention of North Carolina have done
well to nip this kind of thing in the
bud, and set it forever at rest.

further his Senatorial aspirations in

The i,nyslessness of lkadicaIfsm.

Political ideas which are the off
spring of bigoted sentimentalism are
inevitably aggressive, insubordinate
and revolutionary, and this is the
mental characteristic of Radicalism.
The party commenced it's career by
damning the Constitution and the
Union. aud preached and taught re-
sistance to the law. With an arrogance
at once offensive and astounding, they
proclaimed themselves the favored
inheritors of higher nature than that
which belonged to their fellow-citizens,
and the executors and servants of a
higher law, which orerrode the ODE
dieuce due to the enactments of unin-
spired legislators.
Thus commencing its career in law
iessness, the party has maintained it.
self consistently in that line, and pays
heed only to SUCH laws as it nnacts for
the government of others, holding it.
self absolved from any relation TO those
| laws except that of spprovers of toe
legal formulation of certain ideas. and
the agents by whose assistance and at
whose lnstigatiOn the rejectors of
{ those solemn embodiments of fanatic
action of prescribed penalties.
The rise, progress and tinal en-
thronement of Radica!ism in these
United States constitute the most ex-
traordiuary epoch in the history of tue
country. Never was exhibited before,
in an infant nation, so striking an ex-
ample of the growth and subsequent
omnipotent maturity of a school of
politics antagOnlstic in all its phases to
the prevailing sentiment and thought
of the country. Its fist appearance
upon the scene was accompanied by a
declaration of hostility to tine organic
law of the land, and to ths lawful in
situations of certain States. The end
which the vOtaries of this school ap-
p tinted for themselves could ONLY be
attained by breaking the law, and they
hesitated not a moment in their
course. Defeat after defeat offered no
check to their progress, reviliDgs fell
upon deaf ears, dsnunciations we're
UNDECIDED. The spirit of revolution
was upon them, and they pursued
their way with courage and constan.
cy which lent responsibility to their
lawless crusade.
How these men have used their
power needs no illustration. The laws
which they have enacted are neither
guides of conduct as conserving the
pubic welfare, nor such legislation as
looks to the protection of the citizen
in his ordinary capacity. They are
the opponents solely of personal ideas
and beliefs, and erect u tower of refuge
for particular class to whose service
they are dedicated, as special objects
of fanatic concern. Legislation which
thus enshrines and deifies the specula-
tive AMI arrogant theories of school
of thinkers too refined to be practical,
too narrow in it's grasp to be generous,
cannot but be lawless in its scope and

The Fall River mill hands are in q
state of riot. Lives are threatened
and the utmost disorder prevails.
The Mayor has teen compelled to call
out the militia, and some of the mills
that had started up after long dura
ton of idleness, have had to shut
down again for want of bands. The
telegraph briefly gives US the situation
in the great manufacturing town of
New England, and yet we hear not
word from the mouth of Gov. CASTOR
asking for Federal aid or interference.
We cannot refrain from contrasting
the affmr Of Fall River with that of
Clinton, Mississippi-and wonder what
Gov. Ames would give to have this
little affair of Fall River located some
where within the borders cf Missis-
sippi. He would no doubt be delighted
at the opportunity of rising to explain
to the country, and would be sure to
deliver himself by telegraph of an
other stump speech to the Attorney
General.
