KAS IT Suicide.

The dethrOned sultan Abdul-Aziz has
relieved himself and his successor by re-
sorting to the "happy despatch" 1t is
convenient custom the oriental ex-
rulers have of taking themselves out of
the way. They understand that "su.
perfuous lags the veteran ON the stage "
after his crown is taken off, and show a
consideration for their successors which
is the despair of western ex-monarchs,
who have an unfortunate habit of living
on to plague their successors by plottings
and other things. Whether it is true
that Abdul-Aziz actually opened his
veins with pair of scissors and died by
his own act is a question that is impossi-
BILE to answer. The probabilities are
decidedly against the suicide, though he
has had temporary alterations of mind,
and it is possible that in moment of
arrangement he committed the act. Sus.
picion weighs against the new sultan and
his ministers, and already the Russian
minister is making anxious inquiries,
while queen Victoria expressed her con-
Germ for his fate last week, His death
does not materially affect the situation
Of affairs. The anti Russian party is in
the ascendancy at Constantinople azd is
likely to carry things for time with as
high hand as it dare. Russian influ-
ence is at a discount and that of England
seems to be on the increase. It is re-
ported frem st. Petersburg that the
Turkish coup Petat is there attributed to
British influence, and from many indi-
cations it appears that the attitude Of
Russia is becoming more determined.
Meanwhile the servians have not &C.

THE DISCOVERY OF A LONG Los

New Orleans Picayune.

Incredible as it may appear, there ha'
been discovered here in our city of New
Orleans, "The Last Supper" La Pi"'

Italian master, Raphael, shortly betoT'
his death, which occurred in the yea
1920, Seven years subsequent to thu
date the city of Rome was sacked by thd
Spaniards; and simultaneously to tbi
sacking the painting disappeared. Y
was believed the picture had been oarreC
into Spain, and that the captors had ID
knowledge Of its authorship. Later %
the work found its way hither, whs
Louisiana was q possession Of the Spans
crown. 1t has perhaps lain here unit
its late discovery by the fortunate OWne

The Count de Turenne. who was bel
a few weeks ago, saw the picture and Pr

The painting had been rudely cuttrOI

made to extend itself all around the ms.

The continued depression of trade in
the United States, as well as the scarcity
of money among the agricultural and
laboring classes in Germany, has had the
effect of materially checking the outflow
of labor from the latter country; and
from the returns given by consul An
nesley in his commercial report on Ham
burg for the past year, just issued, it
seems that emigration from Germany to
America was nearly one-half lower in
1875 than in 1874. The number Of Ger
man emigrants in 1875 was thirty-one
thousand eight hundred and ten, of whom
eighteen thousand seven hundred and
eighty-two went by steamer direct to
New York, four hundred and eighty-one
to Brazil, Monte Vidoe and BuenOs
Ayres, four hundred and eighty to Chill
and twenty to the West Indies; one
thousand saven hundred and ninety-eight
emigrants went by sailing vessel direct
to Australia and South America and
three hundred and seventy seven to
other ports, while nine thousand eight
hundred and seVenty-two went by steam
ers indirect to North America via Hull
and Liverpool. Of the emigrants for
warded direct, twelve thousand six hun
bred and seventy-eight were male and
eight thousand eight hundred and three
female, sixteen thousand eight hundred
and fifteen being adults, three thousand
seven hundred and six children under
ten years of age, and one thousand and
forty infants. Besides the decrease of the
numbers bound to the United States, the
numerous warnings that have lately ap-
peared respecting the unsuitability of
the climate of Brazil for northern consti-
buttons have at last produced an effect
on the Germans, and emigration to that
country has decreased nine tenths in two
years. The following figures show the
extent to which German en-
igratioh mas fallen off within the past FIVE
years: In 1871 the number of emigrants
were forty-two thousand two hundred and
twenty-four; in 1872, soventy-four thou
sand four hundred and six; in 1873,
sixty-nine thousand one hundred and
seventy-six in 1874, forty-three thou
sand four hundred and ty-three, and
in 1876, thirty-one thousand eight hun
bred and ten. As emigration from Great
Britain to the United States is also on
the decrease, and that from China is to
be forbidden in future, the Americans
will probably in few years be thrown
On their own resources for a supply of
labor, and perhaps they will be none the
worse socially, physically and politically
Tor little healthful exertion.

the speech Of Senator Gordnn-(Mor.

House, by the way, never losing an
opportunity to pick Southern repre-
sentative for match discussion)-
said civil var is generally followed
by period Of decentralization" This
was his explanation of the corruptions
OF the party ia power. The respon>
slbili'y of the civil war, he said, rest
ed on the South, whose representa-.
tIves should be the last to complain
of the corruptions as the consequence.

excuse for the self>debasement of his

only wanted the opportunity. e,
made it possible for them to enjoy a
monopoly of defending "the old flag"
only to disgrace it, and of serving
the Union only to suck it's life blood,
with the motto 'apyeS moi le delage.'
1t cannot be denied that from the
beginning of that war to the present
time. under the cover of loyalty, to
that flag and fealty to that Union,
millions upon millions of dollars have
been stolen by plunderers in civil
and military stations from Quarter

from revenue collectors to President.
