The Cowardice Of Suicide.
lSDrinqfeJd Republic0Y.

When man like Seth Clark of
Buffalo, after falling altogether in
the impossible attempt to serve
God and Mammon, for years a
forger and church member, thief
and exhorter, confessed his failure
the other day, in putting a pistol
ball through his head, it was only
the final act ola long series OF cow
ardly mistakes The first forgery
or speculation was doubtless for
fear Of protested note,or to avoid
some business difficulty, which he
lacked the moral courage to face.
Then, the miserable Consciousness
of fraud put another sleuthhound
on his track, the fear of publicity.
Too cowardly to face that and
make a clean breast, he covered
up his sinful tracks too long for
confession to avail, at least before
the human eye. His public char
acter must need mble into the
abyss dug out by too late repent
ance. And, when, at last, publici-
ty, the dreadful consequence, must
come, he was afraid to live-to0
eowardly-to hear the harvest of
ills that his craven nature had
reaped for him, and so he turned
his back on life and duty, and
sought the towards swift relief in
quick. transit from his fears into a
future state, which his muddled
conscience and deluded fancies
converted into the Sweet By and
By and Land of Rest.

MOultOn'S Suit Against
Beecffer.

The action brought by Francis d,
Moulton against Beecher is one OF
that kind which generally involves
heavy damages. To obtain the ar
rest of a mau is comparatively easy,
and hence he who causes such breach
ON the liberty of another is held re-
sponsible in high degree. When
an arrest has been made the com
plainant is expected by law to make
good his case. If he abandons it be-
fore trial, he becomes liable for dam.
ages, which are generally assessed at
high figures. In several instances
IS, 900 has been recovered for unjust
arrest for alleged petit larceny. MI
Beecher, however, made a heavier
charge against Mr. Moulton. He
had the latter indeed for perjury,
and after the charge had gone the
rounds of the press he voluntarily
dropped the case when the defendant
demanded trial. Moulton's action is
very strong one, and the expecta-
tion is that damages and costs will
be from $4,000 to $4,000. Just q
year ago Tilton s action was brought
into court. How little has the lapse
of a year done to abate the troubles
under which the unfortunate pastor
labors P Cincinnati Gazette.

Utilizing Dogs.

There seems after all to be way
to realize on useless dogs. The
Oakland Cal. News tells firm do
ing business in San Francisco who
purchase the thousand of dogs
slaughtered by the pound master
of that city, or that may have
been otherwise killed, for which
they pay forty cents each The
cal casses are conveyed to their
mandatory at South San Fran
cisco, where the skins are removed
and sold to the tanners, the hair
taken off and resold to plasterers,
the hide tanned, made into gloves,
and sold in the market. The de-
nuded carcass is then thrown into
large cauldron and boiled until
the bones are easily separated
fron the flesh, when they are re-
moved and sold to the sugar re-
fineries, where they are ground to
a fine powder and used to Clarity
the sugar. The oil that arises to
the surface of the boiling mass is
skinned off and manufactured
into cod liver oil, and the remain
der used for the purpose Of fatten-
ing hogs,

The Indepcnt Voter.

Carl Schurz has been giving h is
opinion of the duty of the indie
pendent voter. He says that the
party must use every right means
of making known the conditions
upon which its support OF any cam
didate will depend, and it must do
so in so clear and express man
ner that the party leaders will re-
cogniZe the necessity of shaping
their course accordingly. This can
be accomplished in some measure
by decided conduct on the part of
the independent press in general,
but especially ofthose sheets which
have hitherto worked with one
party or the other, without subor-
dinating to partisan ends their
zeal for the national welfare. Still
more forcible would such a declar-
alton of principles be, coming from
an assembly of men who are held
in universal respect and who can,
therefore, exert marked iuflu-
ence on public opinion. Not until
the politicians apprehended that
the Independent element is to be
won to the support of only posi-
tive, plainly expressed principles,
that, if its stated conditions be
not accepted by either side, it will
not feel compelled to chose between
two evils, but will take the initia-
tive on its own responsibility
will they perceive the necessity of
accommodating themselves to the
most pressing demand of the time.
We do not mean that the whole
movement should consist of empty
threats we are confident that
such programme as we have
sketched,i if carried out to the very
end, would prove more powerful
for good than many of our colleag-
ues appear to believe.

at his failure to bring matters to a

intentions. When he next called

Conviction for Seven Muir
fierS,

A telegram TO the London Times
states that married woman nam
ed Boyon has been condemned to
death at the Lot Assizes for muir
dering her seven children and a
granddaughter by pushing nee
dies into their bodies. She had
ten children, seven Of whom died
under twelve months old, but it
was not until the death Of her
granddaughter that an investiga-
ti0n was made. Her apparent
motive for this last crime was
that the child might die before its
father who was in a desperate
condition, and that she might thus
secure part of his property to the
prejudice of her danghter-in-law
whom she detested. When ask
ed how he came to think of stick
ing needles into her children's
bodies, she stated that at the pub
lie house she kept there was one
day a conversation on infanticide,
and it was said babies did not suf-
fer when murdered in this way.
The jury in this case could dis
cover no extenuating circumstan-
ceS.

Ana Heir to Millions that He
Cannot Touch.

Probably the wealthiest young man
in this city is Joshua Montgomery
Seers, son of the late Joshua Sears.
who died February Z, 1867, leaving
his son heir to a large estate. The
heir reached his majority on Christ
mas, but by the terms of the will
which left the property in trust, he
receives but a small fraction Of the
estate. The elder Sears left proper
ty of the estimated value of 81 $780,
900, Alpheus Hardy, Horatio Harris
and Hugh Montgomery being named
in the will as trustees. Under their
management the property has in
creased in value until it amounts,
according to the assessors returns
of May, 1875, to $4,025, 400 in real es-
tate in Boston, in addition to invest
ments in mortgages, etc, of a like
value. Young Sears is at present a
student in Yale College and has been
educated under the guardianship of
the Hon. Alpheus Hardy. He is a
young man of intelligence, and is
said to be possessed of many of Ike
characteristics or his father. BY the
terms of the will the son was to re-
ceive $50, 900 when he was q, $4,000
annually from that age to 26, $4,000
annually from 25 to 80, and $4,000
per year subsequently. There
seems to be no direct provis-
ion in the will that the
son shall ever receive other of the
estate than the above save in the
matter of his education. Who will
inherit this vast property in the
event of the sons decease is a ques-
tion for the COURTS Boston Herald.

Asthe Cincinnati E.o,.irer il II

Asthe Cincinnati Enquirer is the
ablest and most persistent Of the
newspaper ad coates of imitation
and unlimited greenbacks, Il toler-
ably fair idea of the average Of the
intelligence which dictates such a
policy may be gained from the
Eag,tiTer's assertion that $50 far as
the greeDback has been allowed
fair play with gold, it has been
equal in value to it. In all inter-
nal trade a greenback dollar would
buy as nucn as Il gold dollar would
if we had it in its place" TO put
IL in plain terms, the Enquirer
ventures to say that purchaser
may go to market or into store
with a gold dollar in one hand and
a greenback in the other and pur-
chase. equally with the specie and
the paper. The very assertion is
the purest nonsense of the world.
If the editor Of the Enquirer is so
fortunate as to have a hundred
dollars in gold in his possession he
ought, on his own theory, to be
perfectly willing to exchange it for
