Experience proves that when men and
women have resolved to kill themselves
they have altogether ceased to care what
becomes of their bodies. As, moreover,
great many people at present entertain no
belief in a hereafter, it is evident that no
threat against their remains would influence
them. Those who are amenable to such
threats are precisely those who never
kill themselves In fact, all efforts to pre-
vent suicides must from the nature of the
case be unavailing. Neither education nor
philosophy will meet the requirements of
the subject, for impulses which lead to self
destruction are born Of suffering and
straits so overwhelming and crushing that
reason is powerless to contend againstth them,
and even the strongest instinct of the Or
ganism, the desire of life, is paralyzed by
their contact As life becomes more COM
pick it is believed that the temptations to
suicide increase, and education, by unfit
ting man for mere vegetation, tends to
augment the impotence with poverty and
failure which must necessarily beset so

GRANT TO LOGAN.


General Grant stated the case very
pointedly the other day when, in 4 letter
to Logan, he said 1--WE should never be
q" beaten until every man who counts. OF
represents those who count, in the
enumeration to give representation in the
" Electoral College, can cast his vote just
as he pleases. and can have it counted
"just as he cast it," That IS the pith OF
the whole contest. That every man should
be enabled to cast his vote as he pleases,
and have it counted az he casts it. Until
that is settled all cur elections must be
farcical, dangerous, demoraliziag. At
present there Is no such thing as freedom
OF the ballot IN the Southern States. We
arc going into Presidential election,
knowing beforehand that in ten States Of
the Union the Electors will not be chosen
by the majority of the people; knowing
beforehand that the Electors of these
ten States viii represent nothing but the
lawless aulacity OF 4 usurpin5 minority.
An election so held cannot be regarded az
constitutional. j situation containing such
elements cannot lie stable 1t has been en-
dured thus far because the rulo Of the
usurping minority has not yet been openly
inflicted upon the North. Bat let Presi-
dent be nominally chosen through this
defiance OF republican principles and nsti-
tutions, and at once the seyerest test that
can be applied to any nation viii be applied
to this one 1t would be absurd to pretend
that such an election could satisfy intelli-
gent men. For however it was regarded and
however it was treated, it would of neces-
sity mark the abandonment OF constitu-
tional methods, and whether the North
accepted it, or whether it repudiated it,
the result would be the same in the
end, We believe firmly that the
only hope for the perpetuation of
this republic lies in the establishment
of the principles which General Grant
hiss in his letter stated so plainly. To make
every vote count as much as every other
vote, that is the mission Of the Republican
party, and it exceeds all other duties in
urgency and gravity. When once the bal.
lot has been restored to its necessary pu-
rity throughout the country We can afford
to differ upon every conceivable policy.
Until that has been accomplished, however,
all differences must be incapable Of adjust.
ment, and all contests must tend more and
more towards the breaking down Of consti.
tutional government And since the Re
publican party is the Only one which can
be trusted to concern itself for the pre-.
servation of the franchise, it is the party
which patriotic men must cling to ana sup
port with all their energies. Not until
every American citizen can cast his vote
Just as he pleases, and can have it
" counted just as he cast it, " will the work
Of the Republican party be completed.

DUELIEG IN GERMANY.

1t is said that dueiing is on the increase
in the German army, and is attaining ser-
Gus proportions. The Government should
adopt the plan said to have been employed
once by the Duke of Wellington, when an
epidemic Of dueling broke out in certain
regiment. The Duke sent for Colonel
who bad the reputation OF being a great
martinez, gave him his instructions, and
put him at the head of the fighting regi-
ment. Tie officers thought they were to
be dealt with severely, but the new Colonel
surprised them by stating that he had a
profound regard for the honor of the regi-
ment, and that he therefore approved of
dueling Whenever the provocation was suf-
fioient to Justify it. He only stipulated
that every quarrel should be reported to
him in the first place, In few days two
of the officers had a falling out, and chal.
lenge passed The Colonel was informed
OF the facts, and permitted the meeting.
One of the combatants was slightly
wounded, and everybody thought the affair
was at an end But to their surprise and
dismay the Colonel sent for the wounded
officer as soon as he had recovered, and
told him that the affair must not be
dropped that he must fight again.
Protest and remonstrancc were useless,
and The two now unwilling adversaries
were compelled to go out again. This
time the other was wounded. When
he had recovered the Colonel sent for
both, and informed them that the honor of
the regiment was not yet indicated, and
that they must fight again. This treat
ment was kept up until one Of the princi-
pals was killed. The other was then
cashiered, and the Colonel gave it to be
understood that If any other officers
thought their honor furnished, he was
ready to afford them the same kind of
redress. But there was no response.
Dueling was abandoned in that regiment.
This method, though certainly severe, was
perhaps the best that could have been
devised, and it is quite possible that it
would have as salutary effects in the Ger
man as 1t had in the English army. AS
the education of German officers is expen-
sive, moreover, the Government cannot
afford to let them kill one another, and
therefore it should adopt the most drastic
remedies for the present dueling mania.

Between the 4th Of May last and the 9TH
instant the Carson and Bodie stage was
stopped several times by two highwaymen,
who obtained in all about Sc, 600 and many
valuables. The last robbery, on the 9th
instant, occurred when the stage was
within seven miles of Aurora. The stage
had two shotgun messengers Iobey
and John Northumberland. When the
road agents put in an appearance Tobey
shot and killed one of them, and was him.

taken TO a neighboring house, the remain
ing robber returned to the stage and car
RED off the treasure box, which contained
about $40. The robbery was telegraphed
to J. B. Hume, Wells, Fargo & Co. . de-
tective, who made an investigation, which
resulted in his coming to the city last Sat
urday and notifying the police here that
the highwaymen had room on Minna

taken from Il. B. Shaw, travelling salesman
for Cutting 4 Co., who was robbed on the

TIE WORST THING ABOUT 1T.

The worst feature in the Maine outcome
is the practical approval of Characterization
involved in the vote of the majority 1t
seems almost incredible that in a CON-
munitY supposed to be so conservative as
that of Maine that high-handed and most
impudent fraud should have been Endorsed
by seventy-th thousand people, but it
must be remembered that these people were
Democrats, who originated the fraud, and
Greenbackers, whose financial theories are
saturated with dishonesty. 1t is therefore
not so surprising that this combination
should have been ready to applaud Garcelon
and his gang of thieves and swindlers, for
they themselves had graduated in immoral
propositions, and had thus lost their
sensbility. The Greenbackers are wreck
ers from the foundation. They appeal to
the knavish instincts of men. They
clamor for the robbery of public creditors,
for the coinage of deprecated money, for
reputation in all shapes and forms, for
fiat,money, and for all the devices which,
as Daniel Webster said, are most
effectual "for cheating the laboring
Glasses of mankind" and which are
used "to fertilize the rich mans field
by the sweat of the poor mans brow. :"
That those who delight in such inven-
lions should look indulgently upon Gar
celon's attempt to rob the Maine voters
of the franchise is perhaps quite natural,
but it is mono the less disgrace and a
humiliation to the State of Maine that a
majority of her people are so demoralized,
and so blind both to moral obligations and
their own interests as citizens. When SO
bold plot to Mexicanize Northern State
is deliberately approved by majority of
the voters of that State, it is time to in
quire whether the leaven of Southern DEM
ocratic force and fraud has not leavened
the whole lump of the Democracy, North
as well as South. 1t is, however, clear
that the Maine Republicans have preserved
their honor, and that they may be able to
turn the tables upon their adversaries in
the next election. They at least have
stood for the sanct1ty of the ballot, and
they can be trusted to make the fight to
the end on the same line.

SAN Francisco MONEY MARKET-The lc-
cal money market is quite dull. The unset

operated to make lenders indifferent about
