Deliberate Suicide.

SALTWATER, Sept. 20.-This city was
yesterday startled by case Of most DELHI.
crate suicide, the deceased being a young
man aged nineteen, named Thomas G.
Miller. Miller resided short distance
from here, but came to the city on Fri.
day, and engaged a room at the Sawyer
House. On Saturday he. commenced
vomiting, supposed to have been caused
by an irritant poison. For this lie recciv-
cd prescription which stopped the vom-
ting, although he must have had the
laudanum by which he died, in his peck
ct at the time, as it was purchased on Fri
day. On Saturday he retired, and was
found undrcsscd and in his bed on Sun.
day, at 8 pm. On the table was q par.
TALLY filled two ounce bottle of laudanum,
and letters in which he indistinctly stated
the cause of his death, and which were
written after partaking of the deadly drug.
Some love affair seems to have been the
cause of his sclfdcstruction.

A STORM HORROR,

The telegraph brings us news of the
complete demolition Of the village of In
dianola, situated on the west shore Of
Matagorda Bay, in the State Of Texas.
On the 10th inst, a heavy gale commence
ed blowing from the eastward and coming
from different points of compass contin-
ucd during four days. This carried
the waters Of the Bay into the streets of
the village TO the depth of six to eight
feet, and so frigh,ful were the waves, and
50 tremendous their power that nearly all
the buildings were torn to pieces. Of its
1850 population fully $50 persisted in the
water. Personal property of all kinds is
destroyed, and the survivors arc wholly
notwithstanding upon the charity of
neighboring cities and the surrounding
country. The bodies of the dead were
scattered along the beach distance of
twenty miles from the scene Of distruc.
ton. Aid of all kinds is being extended
to the survivors with as much rapidly as
possible, and all immediate wants will
soon be relieved. Among the frequent
exhibitions of dcpravity and stingincss
that meet the public gaze, it is gratifying
to know that the springs of benevolence in
the human breast have not all run dry.

How circumstances alter cases finds
new illustration in the person Of Senator
Thurman, of Ohio. He is hard money
man-one of the bullion or granite sort :;
and he is also candidate for President,
and is working for the Democratic nomi-
nation. In April, 1874, in his place in
the Senate, he said that an irredeemable
currency, such as our greenbacks are,
chad been well described as the most ef-
fective invention that ever the wit of man
devised to fcrlilize the rich mans field at
the expense of the poor mans brow"
His Presidential ambition now chains
him, Prometheus like, to the fatal rock of
Ohio imitation. He tells the people in his
speeches that the currency question is
not in issue in the State campaign in
Ohio and the other State elections, with
no sense of the ridiculous figure he cut
before the world lift is not in issue,
why cid his party in Ohio and all the
other States make declarations upon it in
their platforms? Is lie alone wiser than
his entire party? Ambition makes him
not only coward, but demagogue. He
told the truth in the Senate; but now he
conccals and denies it before his own pe0-
pie. What hope Is there Of party con-
trollcd by such mcn.-Ex.

Charlie Ross.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 20.-Thc jury in
the Westcrvelt case returned a verdict of
guilty on the last three counts OF the in
dictment, and a motion for a new trial has
been made. AS the words fell from the
foreman's lips Westervelt cried out loud
and sunk down into the dock, completely
overcome and sobbing like child. His
wife and children joined their cries and
lamentations to his, and the scene was a
most affecting one. Mr.. Ford Immediate
" moved for an arrest ofjudgment and a
new trial. Judge Elcock has allowed
four days for argument. The first two
counts on which the prisoner is acquitted
charged participation in the actual alb
duction of Charlie Ross. The last three
on which he is convicted charge con-
spiracy to conceal and a guilty knowledge.

THE COLOR WAR.

The State of Mississippi has been in q
state of semi-insurrcction during the last
three weeks, and Governor Ames has been
appealing to the general government for
aid in his efforts to restore harmony but
has done little else. He should have con.
vcncd the Legislature, and called out the
Militia and shown himself possessed of
some power and some disposition to use
it in defense of the citizens Of the State.
TIE President has notified him to employ
all the means at his command, and lfthat
PROVE insufficient, the general government
will aid him. The massacre Of the ne
grocs is one of the features of the plan by
which the Democrats Of Mississippi hope
to carry the State, although the rcpubli-
cans have majority Of 10000 The lead
ers Of that party expect to intimidate the
colored republicans to such an extent as
to actually deprive them Of the privilege
of voting. 1t is their purpose to keep the
blacks from the ballot box by killing them
if they can't do it by frightening them.
The same spirit is manifested in all Sec
lions of the country, where the democrats
dare to provoke physical contest. The
active managing men Of the party would
resort TO violence here rs we'll as there, if
they did not know that any such action
would prove terribly disastrous to them
selves. The condition Of things in the
South should teach us that supremacy in
the management of civil affairs must be
retained by republicans if the north is 10

the Southern States. Men Of oil shades
of political opinion should weigh these
considerations carefully aud yield any

lncendary Fire.

Quincy, Sept. 20.-Suntay night an OK
tensive conflagration occurred in this city
during which about $4,000 worth OF
property and one human life were dc.
stroyed. d. D. Merriam's lumber yard,
with about $4,000 worth of lumber and
six dwelling houses were burned. The
morning following the charred remains
Of a man were found in the rear Of one Of
the dwelling, which were identified as
those OF Ben. Butler, mouldcr in the
employ of Smith, Hoyner & Co. He
lcayes wife and two children, who re.
side at Leavcnwortl', Kanaas. The fires
was evidently the work of an inccndiary
as the lumber yard where the fire origi.
mated burst into flames in several places at
once. Mr.. Merriam offers a thousand
dollars reward for the arrest and convic
ton of the incendiary.

THE DIFFERENCE.

1t occurs in the multifarious relations
that men sustain each to the other, that
no two agree precisely IN the views which
they hold. The difference in education,
temperament, station in life, mental power
and moral training almost necessarily re-
suits in the formation Of diverse opinions
upon single subject. This has been a
recognized fact since the earliest associa-
ton Of mankind. Upon topics Of more
than individual interest each person may
assert his own views, and incorporate
them into every scheme which he projects
but upon social questions, theories of
government and matters of State or ma
tiona] policy, the individual views of all
honest men are merged in the judgment
of the masses and given expression in a
modified form, known as ''public opin-
ion" In this better judgment Of the ma
jority, most persons yield cordial acqui-
escence. This is true of the generality of
men, but once in century, more or less,
there appears on the scene of action, a
maltormation, sort OF monstrosity, a
thing having the form of human, the
instincts of brute, and the intelligence
OF the ordinary or common classes of
men. lie agrees with no one whom he
does not control, recognizes no virtue
that does not have its source in himself;
acknowledges no law that IS not reflex
Of his own notions; tolcrates no man who
