A MYSTERY AND DEATH.
Supposed Suicide OF n WelI-knOWn Balitmoreai
Curious Case,

AS the steamer George Leary, Capt.
Hill, was passing down the river, about
twilight ON Friday afternoon, wnen
twenty miles from the city a young man
was seen by VIM. Baynell, the barber of
the boat, to leap overheard from the
after quarter Of the saloon deck: The
steamer was stopped as quickly as pos
sible and a boat lowered, in charge of
Mr.. Eldridge. The search was con-
tinued till dark without success, an
officer of the propeller Seaboard, which
happened to be passing, assisting.
When the Leary reached Norfolk, the
Cher of Police there was informed of
the suicide, and telegrams were i'm =
mediately forwarded to this city to es-
tabish, If possible, the identity of the
drowned man, who had registered him.
self on the Leary as johnson. From the
information received, it Ia evident that
the suicide is j. McKim Marriott, of the
Globe printing office, corner OF Light
and German streets. Mr.. Marriott was
last seen at his office, about 8 O'Clock on
Friday. He was very happily married
only about two weeks ago, and his busi-
ness relations were said to be very pros
porous, and it is evident he committed

marked TO his wife, 81 fear l am going
crazy. There is something wrong about
my head" But during the afternoon,
up to 3o'clock, he talked freely upon ali
topics, and appeared in the best Of
spirits. He had bid his wife good-by
with unusual affection several times,
both on Thursday and Friday, but gave
no information as to where he was going
or when. Mrs. Marriott, however, found
ticket for Norfolk in his oVercoat
pocket. He has on several occasions
lately remarked that his business was
less prosperous, and spoke in very in
coherent way. The shock of the disas-
ter upon Mrs. Marriott is very great.
She is in state of complete nervous
prostration, and DR.. Atkinson is in con-
slant attendance. Grape has been
placed upon the door OF his formerplace
of business. MIR. William II. Marriott,
his brother, visited the Leary at her
dock yesterday morning. He was not
satisfied that the suicide was his brother.
No one about the boat could give an
accurate description of the suicide. Mr..
Marriott states that his brother su fered
for many years from rheumatism OF the
heart, and has often fallen unconscious
in the street, and has been brought home
in that condition. The matter has been
placed in the hands of Marshal Gray. An
adyer ertisefiient printed elsewhere in the
Gazette offers reward for the recovery
OF the body of the suicide. On the 9Th
of last October, young Marriott at
tempted suicide by cutting an artery in
his arm with razor, but was promptly
attended by physician and soon re-
covered. Baltimore Gazette.

GOVERNOR VANCE, OF North Carolina,
who has long enjoyed the reputation OF
being able to come nearer to constant
advocacy of both sides of a question
than any other man in America, in his
recent inaugural address got of this:
~sOn the one hand we do not wish to be
understood that we are ready or willing
10 embark in revolution, nor on the
other that we are willing to quietly sub
NIT to any outrage that physical force,
directed by party zeal, may see fit TO
Impose-the one course tending to pro-
woke violence, and the other to invite

PARTY D1s1NrEGRAr1oNs.

1t is a blessed circumstance in the Or
dering of things that political parties
are not immortal. II Immortality were
conferred upon such organizations, then
this world would have no need for the
services of any other devil wherewith to
work mischief and construct catastro-
phes. But, fortunately, such political
bodies are born TO die. Their days are
apt to be like those of the self-depreci-
ating patriarch, "few and evil" Occa-
sionally, tho span OF their existence may
be SO elongated by the pressure of cireum-
stances as to give to them some degree
of longevity. But it is a longevity that
does not tend to solidlty, but to decrep-
itude.
The political organizations known to
this country since 1879, and designated
as parties, have been, in the words OF
the auctioneer's summary, too numerous
to mention. Some of them have 80 far
fallen into forgetfulness that they
would be now unknown even If they
were mentioned. The ancients had this
aphorism-''All men think all r1en NOR
tai but themselves" So with all those
political parties: each thought all the
others short-lived and transitory, but
itself was born for Immortality. No such
thing. They all.died, and were buried.
The essential truth as to this matter is
that such political bodies must needs
To nain Without dis
solution there can be no resurrection.
. Political principles constitute the vital
elements of political parties. Both the
original existence and the continuance
of political principles depend upon the
circumstances and conditions of public
affairs that called them forth. And, as
these circumstances and conditions are
the subjects Of change, so too must the
principles by which they are, for the
time, guided and controlled, also become
obsolete, and pass away; and with them
goes the pabulum that nourished the
party which gave them expression. Any
prolongation of party lite, after this
event, is but the stimulus of galvanic
battery, productive, not of normal ac-
ton, but only Of convulsive and spas
modic movement, at once CHASTITY and
mischievous.
In view of the condition of things III
this country, the inquiry is thrust upon
reflective minds, whether 1t Is not quite
time that the present political parties,
SO long known to the nation, should mu-
tually take upon themselves the patri-
otic conclusion to die. A ALatin poet in
formed the world, some centuries ago,
that it is both pleasant and decorous to
die for ones country. Would it not,
then, be well for these political parties,
Just now, or as soon as may be quite
convenient, to secure to themselves this

ing upon the husks of principles whose
nourishing germs were scattered long
ago?
However great may be the tenacity
with which political leaders cling to the
parties that gave them power and prom.
inence, the parties themselves will inev.
itably crumble away from their grasp.
