STANLEY AND HIS ACCCSERS.

People who have been interested in SANKEY'S
latest exploration will regret that the lustre of
that splendid achievement should be marred
by the Guarrels and controversies which have
arisen concerning the conduct of Major Bart
telot and his unfortunate rearcolumn. The
ugly stories that have recently found their way
INTO print tend 70 aggravate rather than abate
the acrimony of these disputes. Mr. Stanley
himself has been made the object OF grave
and bitter accusations. So FAR as we can dis

SELRCONSCIOUS SUICIDES.

An epidemic of suicides is the conventional
phrase used for explaining the frequent oc-
currence of self-nhicted death. Within few
weeks as many as twenty men prominent in
business social and political life have ended
their lives by violence in New York, Wash
ington and otner Eastern cities. Two or three
have had business embarrassments and As many
more have suffered from ill-health, but the
majority of these suicides have shown signs of
mental alteration induced by dependency. A
more remarkable series of suicides has never

An entirely uncalled-for attempt TO prejudice
those who believe In rational temperance reform
against the Republican candidate for Assembyman

On the strength Of statement in the
City Directory, it is alleged that Mr.. Kisscl 10
engaged in the liquor business. This charge does
a grave injustice to man who is well qualified
to represent a district in which the Republicans
are conceded to have an undoubted majority. The
facts appear to be that Mr. Kissels father was
engaged in the liquor business and that the son
was 50 engaged in his youth. The business was
not congenial to him, however, and several years
ago he retired from it and has been engaged in
the real estate business until recently when he
secured employment in the Navy Yard. There is
no reason 10 believe that Mr. kissel is not fully
in accord with the prevailing Republican senti.
ment on the subject Of liquor legislation. IL 70

The departure yesterday of the COmte de

our shores brought to a conclusion visit which
has called forth the exercise of much tact on
the part of the American Government and
people. in welcoming him as q veteran OF the
Army of the Potomac it was necessary to bear
in mind that he was likewise pretepder to

left lis enchanted with the hospitality OF his
reception by his former comrades as an old

eyes and hair like FURNISHED gold. She
seemed to be entirely content with her

left. Sunday night at the hotel at South
