New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-05-23

The House Of Representatives. has fatty re-
fused to declare that its pretended nvestiga-
ton of the Presidential election does not mean
revolution. This was the unmistakable mean
ing of the action of the House yesterday.
Indeed it is not necessary to draw IN
ferences where the utterance was so PLAIN.
Mr.. Harrison, of Illinois, offered reSOlu-
ton which. if adopted, would not only have
authorized the extension of the Potter investi-
CATION 10 Oregon and South Carolina, but
would have distinctly committed the House to
the statement that "it Is not now III the
"p mower of Congress nor is it the purpose OF
" this House, to attempt to unSeat MIR.
HAYES. The refusal of the Republicans
70 vote upon the point whether this
resolution presented a question of privilege
left less than quorum voting, ana
Mr.. Harrison, weary, perhaps, OF the abuse
that his Democratic associates were hcaping
upon him, Withdrew the resolution. Our Wash
inpton dispatches describe the CONSERVATION
into which the unexpected submission of this
resolution plunged the Democratic leaders.
The result of their fright was seen in the resO-
luton offered by Mr.. Wilson, of West Nir-
giDia, shortly after. Tins was meaningless so FAR
"a ITS authorization of an enlarged investigation
was concerned, but it was supremacy signif-
cant in its omission of all that part of Mr..
Harrison's resolution which disclaimed any
power or purpose to disturb President Hayes.
IF Mr.. Potter meant what he said the other
day, why did he not repeat his pledge in this
resolution If the Democrats do not mean
revolution, why did they refuse to say sol

All examples of Democratic inconsistency
seem feeble in comparison with that WiHch
was completed by the passage OF the Potter
resolution. The party which accepted the
Electoral Commission, pronounced its de-
cision final, and now proposes to re-
view and oyertum that decision; which
declared. through the. mouths of some
of it's most conspicuous members, that PreSi-
dent Haycs's title was " sacred and lrreirag-
cable" and now calls il fraudulent and pro-
poses to break it-this party could not
create any surprise by any contradlc-
ton in its opinions or want OF faith
in its acts. But this latest instance
is of importance, nevertheless, because 1t
shows the spirit of reckless partiSansmp
which charactorizcs the present movement.
When the House voted only last Friday upon
the issue whether the Potter resolution
presented question Of the highest privilege,
the Democratic majority was substantially
unanimous IN the affirmative. Yesterday,
lust five days after this vote, another
Democratic member offered rcSoll-
ton which began with a recapiiua-
ton OF the Potter resolution, was strictly
supplemental to il, and presented exactly the
same question to the HOuse-ylz., that OF
frauds in the Presidential election. And yet
ffly of the Democrats who had voted that the
Potter resolution was question of privilege,
voted tina the Harrison resolution was not a
question of privilege, Could ANYTHING be
more shameless-or more significant?

When the subject Of printing tie Agricultural
Report was before the Senate the other day, the
questions considered were whether tine report
should be confined within 800 pages or GOO pages.
and whether there should he printed 200, 900 copies
or 3OOOOO copies. and the Senate voted for the
most copies Of the biggest bojs. This was to be
expected, as q matter Of course. The country has
never seen anything like determined effort on the
part Of Congress to quell be printing mania OF ann
bilious bureau chicftains, but the contrary the
whole course of legislation has invariably tended to
encourage these officials in their efforts 10 manufac-
turc documents rs bulky and, consequently, rs
costly as possible The bill to regulate the public
printing now before the House, contains wise pro-
vision which restricts certain reports to 800 pages
but there is little danger that any limit 10 the
growing extravaganza Of the departments in this
particular will be fixed. When it Is remembered
that in a single year more than 100000 pages OF
matter have been printed by express order OF the
Senate and House, there need be no fear that Eaton
or lie Due or any other champion document diiiuser
will be restrained from discbarging his periodical
fre5het of driyel upon the country.

A new element of conjecture has been added
to the yosburgh case by the sudden and,
so far, unexplained disappearance of the wife
of the defendant. The theory which seems to
gain the greatest eredence is that she has
taken refuge with friends in order to avoid
being called as a witness by the prosecution
in closing the case.

in an enemy's country, from which he
never retreat9d; an enemy acting al
ways on the defensive, in a country
fortified by nature as also by the high
est engineering skill, in jungle, forest,
swamp and mountain. The campaign
lasted twelve months. Lees losses
from May, some time early in the
month, 1868, to July 4, of the same
year, from Charlottesville to Gettys-
burg, aggregated 10000. Against the
advice Of Gen. Longstreet, he fought
the battle Of Gettysburg, where he
learned ''to know how 1t was YOURSELF,
by attacking the federals. His losses
on that field footed up 36,0O0-25,0 600
prisoners, 6,000 found dead, and 5000

Death of Monroe p. Thoriuetou

On Saturday we heard q rumor
that Mr.. Monroe L. Thorington, son of
Hon. James Thorington, had died in
Montana; but the inquiries made
failed to substantiate the report.
To-day the sad news ia confirmed,
as letter received this morning by
Mrs. ID. s. Sheldon, from Mrs. Nash,
at Ottawa H., states. This letter
says, according TO telegram receiv-
ed Saturday morning from West
Point, Monroe died at Fl. Keogh,
Sept. 10Th. 1t appears that he was
ordered out with party building q
telegraph line, and that he became
very ill and had to be returned to the
fort. A three days ride in an ambu-
lance. added to q fall he got on the
way, brought on a deadly illness that
ended his life.
The deceased young gentleman was
about "a years of age; was the eldest
son of Hon. James Thorington, and
was born and grew up here. Some
eight years ago he became q cadet at
West Point Military Academy, from
which he graduated in, 1877, receiv-
ing the rank Of Second Lieutenant in
the regular army. Last spring he
was ordered to join Gen. Miles COM
mand in Montana, which he did, and
was there assigned to the 5th Infantry
with headquarters at Fort Keogh.
Here he remained till tho time of his
death. His death took place not far
from the scene of the Custer tragedy.
Monroe Thorington was one Of the
brightest and best young men that
ever went from this city to fight the
battles Of the world. Steady, indus
trioua, apt, honest and pure, he had
all the elements of true and noble
manhood in him. Had his life been
spared, we !feel sure he would have
made proud mark in the world--il
earnest effort and the determination
to do right would have won distinc.
tion. His sad and unexpected death
will be the cause Of great grief moi
only with his relatives, but to hi
school mates and warm friends in thil
city.-DaUenpOrt Democrat.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE,
An Old holland Gentleman Cuts
Ala Throat with n Rnxor

An Old holland Gentleman Cuts
Nis Throat With q RAZOR.
A horrible suicide was committed
on last Friday evening about nine
o'clock, two miles east Of Pella, an
old Holland gentleman by the name
of Van Corp cutting his throat with
s'razor. Mr.. F. Van Corp was man
Of about 60 years OF age, having .
wife and five children, and has been
suffering for . year and . half with .
sort Of morbid depression, during
which time he could not be persuaded
to eat with the family. EAtables were
placed where he could find them and
ct night and at such times when
away from the rest Of the family he
would partake of the nourishment
prepared for HIM. About four
months ago he had q tit Of sickness
which had the effect of making his
condition worse. On the evening in
question one Of his sons had sharpen
ed razor for the purpose Of shsving
his father, which he had intended to
do before supper, but being late he
called to him, he being in his room,
telling him he would shave him after
supper. After supper was over the
son went to his fathers room and moi
finding him a search was made, which
resulted in the family finding him in
the garden with his throat cut, the
bloody razor being found near hii
body. The cause Of the act is thought
to be morbid insanity.-Pella Blade
