SELF DESTRUCTION.

The daily Pacific coast. and particu-
l.rly San Francisco dispatches. have
been 90 seldom exempt from the har
rowing details Of one or more CHASTITY
suicides that we are ct times inclined
to pass over these sad events as deeid-
eddy common place. Recently they sp-
pear, however. to be crowding upon
each other with alarming frequency.
and the question naturally arts 20, is this
terrible destruction of life never TO
ceases Are these CHASTITY victims of
self destruction still to multiply in the
future IS they have in the pasts
This terrible crime is no longer con-
fined to the feeble minded and insane.
Frequently the &C. is committed with
out any apparent cause. by the most
intelligent, as in the case Of the young
druggist, whose death was reported in
our dispatches of yesterday. and with
whom the writer was once acquainted.
Intemperance is undoubtedly the great
prime cause of suicides. but how fire.
auently do we find men of the mos;
correct habits and Of the best cbarac-
ter, stoopiug 10 the fearful crime OF
self destruction. la their case the act
can only be attributed to foolish
sentimentaity-a weakness which they
have fostered until IL has become a
ruling passion. Modern society is d.
rectly responsible for their acts. 1t
has taught them to believe that it were
better to seek the dishonor and shame
Of suicides grave than to msnfully
and honorably face the reverses OF
fortune which may necessitate their
abandonment of the particular style Of
life to which they had been previously
accustomed. and as a consequence sub.
ject them to the sneers and cruel pro-
scriptions Of former associates.

BUTLER TO THE FRONT.

Success usually comes after repeated
failures; and SO Ben Butler after much
persistent diminishing for seat in the
gubernAtorial chair Of Massachusetts,
has at length entered the race with q
fair prospect of success. The tide of
affairs has set strongly in his favor
this time and assisted him 10 within easy
reaching distance Of the goal Of his long
cherished political ambition. He will
find il necessary. however, to manage
the present canvass iudicionsly. The
contest will he q hot one. For tins
reason it will be expedi-nt for him. just
at this critical point. to waive Kearney
into the back ground. and this he 10
likely TO do. notwithstanding the re-
port that reached Us through the dis
patches yesterday to the effect that
kearney was nov on the way to Massa-
chasetts To stump the State for Butler.
Butler 10 altogether too shrewd and FORE
lighted. We take it, TO take the chances
of turning the blasterer kearney
lcose in field SO ripe for . coveted
political harvest We notice further
that he has secured nearly all
the delegates FROM Suffolk county
to tho State Democratic Cnnven-
