True Courage.
(RIchmond. Times Dlspatch.)

(Richmond. Times ispatch.)
One of the most pathetic stories that
We have read is the story Of the suicide
in Washington of Judge Leonard II. Man
gum, Of Arkansas. He came from a dis
tinguishcd North Carolina family, and
was nephew of Senator Wiley p Man
gum. who was prominent in Southern
politics years ago. and one of the most
distinguished of North Cardinals dstin-
guished sons. He was a Confederate sol
der and Democrat, and received an APP
poinment in the Treasury Department
under President Cleveland. He lost his
position when the Republicans came in
but was reappointed to a place in the
War Department, and afterwards trans
ferrcd to the Census Office through the
good offices Of Senator Berry. OF Arkan-
sas. At the time that Judge Mangum
was appointed, Senator Berry also sue
ceeded in having a woman from his State
placed in the Census Department, and
recently when Tetrenchment became ne
cessary. the Senator was informed that
one of his appointees must be removed
The facts were laid before Judge Man
gum, and with proverbial Southern chiv-
airy he stepped out that the woman
might keep her place Being out of en-
ployment, it is supposed that he became
respondent and finally took his own life.
1t is strange thing to us that a man
OF Judge Mangums high character and
courage and chivalry. should have gained
his consent to end his life. Some people
seem to think that it requires courage
to commit suicide, but the contrary is
