Tho pIpIomatLe Service.

The debate on the consular and diplomatic
democratic statesmen an opportunity to sneer
at our diplomatic system. Mr.. Holman
boasted that it was the habitual policy of the
democratic party to cut down the salaries of
foreign ministers, and Mr.. Burnes appealed
to his colleagues not to oppose tho one princi-
pie upon which the whole party could agree,
The purpose of the economists Of the Holman
school is to get rid of the diplomatic service,
not by repeating the laws providing for the
sending of ambassadors to foreign courts, but
by cutting down the salaries to figure that
will prevent any self.respecting man from
accepting a diplomatic appointment.
Mr.. Holman is of the opinion that United
States minister is q gentleman of elegant
leisure, who has nothing to do "but to play
the courtier in idle display" and he regards
salary of $4,000 as extravagant pay for this
kind of service. If the democrats elect
| president within the next twenty years 1t is
| to be hoped that Mr.. Holman will be ac.
credited to some foreign court, whore he can
illustrate the simplicity and responsiveness
in the mode of living which he thinks best
becomes the representative of a great re-
public
There was great force in Mr. Reeds remarl;
that the effect of cutting down tho salaries
of foreign ministers is simply to shut out
poor men from tho diplomatic service, Nc
one will be willing to accept the position o
ambassador to foreign court unless hi
private fortune will permit him to sustain
the dignity of the position ut his own ex
pense. 1t is well understood fact that only
rich men are now appointed to frst-clas
missions; and the ill-advised economy Of tn
house committee on appropriations adds t.
the number of Offices from which the citizel
of moderate fortune is excluded.

Driven 20 Suicide.

1t is but a few days since wo snw an
article in one of the leading northern jour
nails commencing tho courage and manli-
ness of Judge Richard Reid, of Mt Sterling,
KY, in refusing to fight duel. The stand
taken by him against the barbarous code
was cited as proof of growing sentiment
in the south against dueling, and the pro-
diction was made that his course would be
this hopeful moralizing comes the announce
ment that Judge Reid took his own life TO
escape tho imputation Of cowardico put upon
him by his refusal to fight
Some weeks ago dispatch was published
giving the particulars Of an attack on Judge
Reid by alaw yer named John Jay Corneilson.
A case in which Corneilson was counsel was
decided against him by the appellate court,
and he accused Reid Of leading the other
judges into wrong decision. In order to
express his dissent from Judge Reid's opin-
ion with the greater emphasis he struck him
n few blows with cowhide. According to
tho Kentucky idea Judge Reid should either
have resented this insult by killing Cornell
son at sight, or challenging him to fight a
duel.
Both Reid aud Corneilson were church
members, and Corneilson was expelled for
his refusal to apologize for his rufIianly act.
The community took sides in tho quarrel,
and the local newspapers famed the flame.
Reid was a candidate for reelection, and il
is said that in going about among the
people he discovered that he was regarded as
coward, and would be overwhelmingly
defeated. This preyod upon his mind, and
finally drove him to suicide.
Tho unhappy fate of Judge Roid admon-
ishes us that the mountain region of Ken
tuck y has not yet become pleasant place OF
residence for non -combatant. Reid was a
church IN ember, and was conscientiously
opposed to taking life. His church sustained
him, but the public opinion outside was SO
strong against him that his lifo became a
burden. He preferred death to living in q
community in which he was looked upon as
| a coward.
