THE SECRETARYSHIP, CANDIDATES AND PROS
PECTS.
Candidates for the Secretarysliip of the Senate
are increasing, and lively race is ahead. 1t
seems to be generally understood among the
democratic Senators that ifthey get the position
it shall be conceded to the south. When the
democrats organized the Senate the position of
secretary was accorded to the south. Now it is
claimed by the southern democrats that they are
entitled to choose successor to the late Col
0nel Burch, and all the northern Senator's so
far as heard from, readily concede this. The
candidates now here and at work are Colonel l..
.. Washington, of Virginia; Colonel r. C. Win
tersmith, Of Kentucky; Colonel William H. Nc
Tennessee; General Pierce NJ B. Young, of
Georgia. and ex-senator Withers, of Virginia.
Mr.. Withers concluded at one time to retire
from the race. but subsequently he changed
his mind and in a letter to friend in this city
ne announces that he is in the field.
STAR reporter yesterday asked Sergeant tat
Arms Thompson, of the House of Representa-
tives, if he was candidate. and lie replied very
emphatically 81 am not" There are SO few Sem
atOs here yet that it is useless to speculate upon
the result of the race, though the indications
are that Col. Washington has decidedly larger
number OF votes pledged to him than any other
candidate
1t is reported to-day that ex-senator Dennis
OF Maryland, is candidate Tor the secretaryship
of the Senate He was a candidate for this
position when the democrats organized the
Senate, but was defeated ON the ground that
Senators did not regard it as the proper thing
TO make man who has been a member of the
body one Ofits subordinate officers. So far none
out democratic candidates have announced
themselves; but it's not by any means certain the
democrats will get the position.

BECAUSE he bore the name of Thomas,

BECAUSE he bore the name of Thomas,
a citizen Of Halberstadt, Germany, has
committed suicide. After the explosion
of Thomassen's internal machine, in the
harbor Of Bremen, he applied to the
Government for leave to change his
name, but permission was denied. He
was SO distressed by this refusal and by
the jests he had to bear in consequence
that he withdrew wholly from social in
terconrse and became moody and mis-
anthropic. Finally he determined to
seek relief in death, and, after several 1T
tempts at suicide which were frustrated,
succeeded in hanging himself. He took
care, in preparing for his end, to burn
up his valuables, so that no human
creature should derive benefit from
them.
No PLACE, no company, no age, no
person il temptation free. Let no man
boast that he was never tempted; let
him be high-minded, but fear, for he
may be surprised in the very instant
wherein he boasteth that he was never
tempted at all.

"That," continued the kind old man,
looking on US with glistening eyes,
"though mixed with sorrow, was one
Of the happiest moments of my life. As
l stood by the bedside Of the dying man
and looked around upon his children
growing up virtuous, intelligent and up-
right, respecting and honoring, as much
as they loved, their father when I saw
his wife, though overcome with grief for
the loss Of tender and beloved nus
band, yet sorowing not as one without
hope, but, even in the moment of agony,
deriving comfort in the belief that she
should meet him again in that world
where "adieus and fare wells are sounds
unknown" when I listened to his fer
vent expressions of gratitude and saw
him calmly awaiting the inevitable
stroke, trusting in the mercy of Gcd
and at peace with his fellow.men and
when I thought what the reverse of all
this might have been-crime, misery, a
disgraeeful and dishonored life, and,
perhaps, shameful and violent death,
had I yielded to the first impulse of in
dignation, I felt happiness which no
words can express. We are told
that there is more joy among
the angels of God over one sin
ner that repenteth than over ninety
and nine just persons that need no re-
pentance. With such JOY as we may
imagine theirs did I rejoice over poor
Smith, as I closed his eyes, and heard
the attendant minister in fervent tones
exclaim: Blessed are the dead that
die in the Lord yea, saith the spirit,
for they rest from their labors and their
works do follow them.'
my friends, I am an old man. Dur
ing long and eventful career in busi-
ness, I have had intercourse with almost
every variety of temper anl disposition,
and with many degrees OF talent, but
have never found reason to swerve from
the principle with which I set out in
life, to temper Justice with mercy"
Such was the story of our friend.
And I believe there was not one in that
company but returned home more dis
posed to judge leniently Of the failings
of his fellow-creatures, and, as far as
lay in his power, to extend to all who
might fall into temptation that mercy
which, under similar circumstances, he
would wish shown to himself, feeling
"that it is more blessed to save than to
DESTROY" ;"

The unanimity with which Robertson has
been confirmed is further significant of Conk-
ling's decline and fall. The country is not
likely to be troubled for some time 10 come
with the fallacy called the "courtesy Of the
Senate;' through which Conkling tried to
feast his personal grudges upon the country.
With Conkllng's fate in mind no Senator will
care to lead forlorn hope in the interest of a
vicious practise. As to Conkling himself, it
will not be surprising if it turns out that he
has committed political harikari. Robertson,
as collector, will probably be more ofa power
