REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

WHILE the debate was going on in the House
of Representatives few days ago considerable
merriment was created precisely why we fail
to appreciate) when the item appropriating
S32328 to pay deficiency in the Yorktown
celebration was taken up. 1t was shown that
on a single steamer the bill for champagne,
whisky, and cigars was S6,529 Mr.. Dngiey,
| of Maine, very properly protested against the
| disgraceful way in which the money had been
| expended, and some other members character
| lied the whole affair as a big drunk" Mr..
Tucker, of Virginia, remarked that it would
never have done to allow the Frenchmen to
drink by themselves, and with this " "explana-
! ton" the bill was passed. Congress had, 1t
will be recollected, previously appropriated
$4,000 for the celebration and yet the eXpend-
| itures were nearly double that sum. 1t such
| extravagant appropriations as these are to be
made, is it asking too much for Congress to pay
the debt it contracted to soldiers twenty years
| ago?

THE SUICIDE REMEDY.

Yesterday morning these columns re-
corded the suiciding Of o comparatively
young man of family Of this city, Mr..
ScuRoRpHR, who with restless reluctance to
live any longer did of his own motion
pluck death from his Makers hand, and
so surrendered the bodily fort over which
he was appointed to hold charge until in
the course of natural events the demand
should be made. What was the
cause for tho rash act, wheth.

meatic infelicity or some other thing,

much Of tho future, 1t is difficult TO per-
oeivc, From the note he addressed to his
employer il would appear that fduciary
unworthiness, although induced by no bad
habits Of his, was the trouble. The reilec-
u on upon the sad circumstance starts the
qucry whether the suicide shows himself
the true man by thus seeking escape from
his misery, which, after all, is perhaps &C.

DALLAS, June q, 1sS2.-While we are al-
lowing ourselves to become wonderfully in
terested in and excited over the race for
congress and for governor, and even county
officers, we must not permit the questions
that naturally ought to surround the selec-
ton Of our judges Of the supreme and ap-
pellate courts to lag in interest There is
no Office the candidate for which should be
more thoroughly discussed both as to his
personal character and qualifications than
those OF the judiciary. 1t is in the hands
of such men that our lives and
property are intimately placed for protec-
ton, and with such sacred trust, no spot
should rest upon the escutcheon of the cam
didate for the Office. We have in our midst
a man who is as admirably fitted perhaps,
tried by whatever test we may adopt to
occupy the highest judicial stations as INV
man in the state of Texas. 1t is almost
unnecessary to say that we refer to Judge
J. M. Hurt of the present court of appeals.
His blam personal character and the
have adorned the appellate bench
during his term which is lust
drawing to close have made him enviably
conspicuous as jurist in Texas and entitle
him to the warmest support of the entire
people in the coming state convention for
denomination to the position which he now
fills so ably. No more Just and incorrupt.
ible or ADLER magistrate could be selected
for the position, and his faithful discharge
of the duties of his Office heretofore merit
the reward Of continuation in the service.
We trust that the name of Judge
]. NJ. Hurt therefore will be kept
prominently in the minds of the citizens of
the state when their delegates are appointed
to the Galveston convention The people
when once they have found such man as
Judge Hurt, for the discharge of the re-
sponsible duties of the judiciary, cannot af-
ford to allow him to retire again to private
life, for such character of head and heart as
are his are rarely found in these degenerate
times. SALUs PoruLI.

THE celebrated MALLEy trial still draws
its slow length along at New Haven, and
from the conflicting character of the testi-
mony of the medical experts, it begins to
look as ifpoor JENNIE CRAMER's death were
likely to remain always a mystery. The
singular feature of the trial aud to us an
unheard Of one before this, is the fact that
the jurors, instead of being kept separate
and apart from all others, as in murder
trials everywhere, are permitted to mix
freely with the citizens, and imbibe the
popular prejudices as to the case. Their
verdict, therefore, may nationally be antici-
pated as simply the expression of popular
sentiment, rather than any cool determine
tion from the evidence. 1t is another in

try in the administration of the criminal
