BACKBITING
Isa practice indulged in by individuals
of low degree, who, whilst comparing them
selves with others feel their inferiority.—
The envious and narrow-minded naturally
feel an inclination to drag down those of
their fellow-creatures who are probably more
prosperous in an accumulation of the world’s
goods than they, or it may be, those who
are making good progress toward the pin
nacle of fame and honor, to a level with
with themselves. To accomplish this end
they resort to the low aud despicable scheme
of backbiting, and endeavoring by an un
scrupulous attack on the fair fame and
name of those more fortunate than they to
blast their prospects. “He that stealeth
my fame Siealeth trash, but he that stealeth
my good name stealeth that which does not
enrich him, but makes me poor indeed.”—
We may set it down as a truth, where we
listen to the slanders of one person against
another, that the same individual would
slander us just as soon, a dog that will bring
a bone will carry one. The individual that
will backbite or slander those who are by
nature as good as he, and probaoly bet
ter by practice, is not to be trusted in any
ih'ng, forjlie that would steal my good name,
only wishes an opportunity to steal my purse
Those who indulge the practice of backbit
ing and slandering their neighbor, who,
probably is at home engaged about his busi
ness, and not aware of the fact, is the most
dospicablej of all God’s creatures and un
worthy the name of humanity which he
shamefully disgraces. Such an one is only
worthy the association of those who inhabit
the dark and gloomy region of haydes, and
should be expunged front the society of the
virtuous and good. The backbiter should
live under the withering scorn and con
tempt of all good and amiable people that
bis name, nature, and practice may die
whilst he yet lives, and they with tf eir
evil calling bo consigned to eternal oblivion
when dead. The prayer of the slanderer
should be that of the rich man when he
lifted up his eyes in hell, and seeing Laza
rus afar off, he cried out, “go tell my broth
ers not to come to this place of torment, ’
mid thus should the backbiter pray, tell my
brethren not to follow my example which
leads to eternal destruction. But there is
a petty species of backbiting called seeing
the mote in our neighbor’s eye, but pei
ceiving not the beam in our own eye, that
is we say cur neighbor over the way is a
pretty clever fellow, hut there is thus and
so about him that is not exactly as it should
be, whilst our neighbor is as good in every
respect as we, we see the mote but not per
ceive the beam.
“Oh ! that some spirit the power would gie us,
To see ourselves as others see us.”
Jhe person wearing two laces, one for and
one against, is iudeed dangerous and should
be avoided by those who consult their hap
piness and welfare, this character when in
our presence is all sunshine a;.d smiles,
when in the presence of others, and our ab
sence regards us as woormwrod and gall,
this character is the most despicable of all
slanderers, this is tho wretch that iflicts the
Joab stab with poison of their own to point
the shaft that makes the wound. There is
another class of backbiters and s’anderers
who being envious of his neighbor’s pros
perity are constantly prying into his busi
ness, to see if perchance he may find some
wrong with which to accuse the prosperous,
and blast his hopes for time and eternity.—
Oh, such a wretch ! is there a place, even
that of the regions of the damned tos mean
for such a one.
“With the slang of thy tongue to pcison the
gale,
Dqwn ruthless insulter; I trust not thy tale
Fo thou shalt thy destiny meet,
Thou, so black with dishonor, so foul with de
ceit.”

SUICIDE!
An Old Citizen of Elbert Blows
his Brains Out in the Pres
ence of his Wife.
HORRIBLE DETAILS.
By advices from Bonham, Texas, we have
accounts of the suicide, on the 25th ult., of
Mark A. Knight, Esq., a former citizen of
Elbert, but for the last few years a resident
of the above-named place. Mr. Knight, we
are told, married one of the most charming
ladies in the section of the State in which
he resided. The relations between the two
since marriage were the most cordial and
amiable. The sufferings of the wife since
the death of her husband are said to have
been of the most intense and heart-rending
character. E.ven the tolling of the bell, at
the time ot interment, had to be suppressed,
so fearfully did its dismal souud increase
her anguish.
Mr. Knight was known by this whole
community. He was the son of Rev. John
Knight, a well-known Methodist preacher
of this St ;, te. Mark Knight had his faults—
and who of us have not ‘l —but let them be
buried with his body in the grave, aud let
judgment abide with Him who judges both
quick and dead. To judge mankind is the
prerogative of God ; its exercise by man is
but au exhibition of weakness.
We copy from a local paper a full account
of the tragic affair :
On last Tuesday at 0:30 p. m. Capt. M. A.
Knight, of this place, uue oi the ablest, and
most promising lawyers of the north Texas
liar, committed suicide by blowing his
brains out with a derringer pistol. Wo
have heard several accounts of this, sad oc
currence, but from the best intormatiou we
cau gain the following are the facts in tfie
case: For ten or twelve days lie had been
drinking deeply, tut on the evening in
question, was apparently ii. excellent hu
mor, joking talking pleasantly with his
wife. In a short while he requested her to
briug bis derringer, noticing, from his man
i.er that be was intoxicated-, she hesitated hut
he calmed her apprehension by remarking,
that in case burglars should enter the house,
or any danger appproach, he wanted the
pistol in reach, also adding, “Kate you dare
nut disobey me.” Sue complied with his
request, and laid the fatal weapon on a ta
ble within easy reach, and turning off, siar
ted to leave the room, when she heard the
ominous click *of the trigger. Turning
round she discovered bis tearful intent, and
lushing to him, attempted to wrest the pis
tol horn his maniacal grasp. A scuffle en
sued, ending in his pushing her away from
him, and with the words, “Kate, you shall
no longer live the wife of a drunkard,” lie
placed the muzzle to his temple and.fired
the fatal shot which sent him unbidden in
to the presence of his Maker. The heart
rendering screams of the fond wife brought
in some of the ne g ibors, medical aid was
immediately summoned, but to no purpose
He died about 11:30 p. m., without once
giving a sign of returning consciousness.
Capt. M. A. Knight was about twenty
eight years of age, a native Georgian, served
with distinction in the army of Northen Vir
ginia, and a year or two alter the cessation
of hostilities, removed to Texas. He was
a regular graduate, had studied law in El
berton, Ga., under the tutorship of liobt.
Hester, Esq , but his first vocation here was
that of teaching school, lie taught for a
short while in the Rogers neighborhood 5
miles west of this place, when be came to
town and opened Bonham High School.
Twelve or fit teen months afterwards he was
called to the position of Justice of the
Peace and 1 r siding justice of liie county,
O ie of the most responsible and iucia ive offi
ces within the gift of the people, when he
gave up his school and entered upon the dis
charge of his officiol duties and the practice
of law. Some two aud a halt years ago lie
married one of the most estimable young la
dies of Bonham society, with whom he lived
happily, and to whom he was devotedly at
tached: and whatever may have been the
true causes of his rash act. ot self-destruction,
and tnestio trouble was not one of them.
He was a m tuber o! the law firm of Max
ey, Knight & Chenoweth, one of the most
eminent in this Congressional District, and
was rapidly rising in his profession and into
a luc stive practice and competence when
the demon of’stroug drink took possession
of him. Loved by those who knew him
best, and respected by all for his learning
and ability, his death has cast a gloom over
this community.
Over his faults let the broad mantle of
chanty be spread—buried under the sod
that covers him; and when we visit the lit
tle mound of earth that marks his last res
ting place in the Inglish Cemetery, we can
at least say with Byron :
Yes, this was once ambition's airy hail *
The dome of thought—the palace of tiie soul.
TIIE DEBT OF THE WORLD.
It may be useful, at the present moment,
when our attention is being promiuetly di
rected to our own expenditure, to reflect
upon the burdens under which other nations
are groaning. The Dull Mall Gazette says
it is not a very easy matter to discover the
actual indebtedness of either Europe or the
world ; but it is possible to give an apptox
imute estimate of the total liabilities of con
tinental nations. There aie seven European
nations which owe upwards of £100,000,000
each. They are :
Great Britain £790,000,000
France 748,000,000
Italy 300,000,000
Russia 855,000,000
Austria 306,000,000
Spain 261,001'.000
Turkey 124,000,000
Total £2,944,000,000
The debt of the German En pire amounts
to a little over £25,000,000. The differ
ent States composing it, however, owe in the
aggregate about £173,000,000. The lia
bilities of the Empire may, therefore, be
probably placed at about £208,000,000. —
The debts of the eight most heavily encum
bered European countries may in this way be
raised to about £3,152,000,000 !
There are six other countries in Europe
which owe their creditors more than
£10,b00,000, but less than L 00,000.000.
They are ;
Holland £ 80,000,000
Portugal 64,000,000
Belgium 27,000,000
Greece 4 18.000,000
Ruuminta 13,000,000
Denmark 12.000,000
Total £214,000,000
These six countries, then, add £214,000,-
000 io our previous total, and raise the
national liabilities of Europe to £3,860.-
000,000. It must be remembered that we
have excluded from this category ail frac
tions of a million, and the debts of all Stares
which owe less than £10,000.000.
The debts of the rest of the world are
happily much smaller than those of Europe,
hut even these are considerable. America
of course course heads the list. The differ
ent American States owe;
United States £433,000 000
Brazil 64,000,000
Canada 21,000,000
Argentine Republic 16 000,000
Yen' zuela 15,000.000
Peru-, 12,000,000
Mexico 10,000,000
Total £573,000,000
Asia follows America at a considerable
dist nee. Her chief debts are :
British India £108,000,000
Japan 27,000,000
Total £135,000,000
The different Australian colonies owe in
the aggregate £38,0000,000. The chief
African debts are those of
Egypt £28,000,000
Morocco 10.000.000
Capetown 1,000,000
Total £39,000,000
The chief debts, then, in each of the five
great divisions of the world amount in the
aggregate to the following sums :
Europe ....£3,400,000,000
America 573,000,000
Asia 135,000,000
Africa 39,000,000
Australasia 38,000,000
Total £4,185,000,000
If wc add only £15,000,000 to this total
for minor omissions, we are compelled to
conclude that the nath ns of the world owe
their creditors £4,200,000,000— a sum at
nearly 4J per cent, must involve a charge of
£189',000,000 a year. The figures are so
stupendous that it is hardly possible to com
ment on them. But il is a suggestive eir
cumstance that with perhaps thiee excep
tious—the United States, Germany and
England—all these countries are steadily
increasing (heir debts. The greater por
t on of them have created within the mem
ory of the present generation; the great
majority of them are rising still with a
rapidity which is adding annually hundreds
of millions to the national liabilities of the
world.

LOSS OF THE ATLANTIC,
Dispatches of the 2d give '-'-w d e - !
tails of the loss of the steamer Atlantic. — j
The vessel had eight hundred and fifty
steerage passengers and thirty saloon. There
had been two births during the voyage.—
The crew numbered one hundred and forty
two, and there weie fourteen stowaways dis
covered. Three hundred in all were saved
out of the total number of 1,038.
The following is the Captain’s statement:
We sailed from Liverpool March 20th.
During the first part of the passage we had
favorable weather and easterly winds. On
the 24th, 25th and 26th we experienced
heavy southwest and westerly gales which
brought the ship down to 118 miles a day.
On the 31st of March the Engineers repott
showed but 127 tons of coal on board, we
were then 460 miles east of Sandy Hook with
wind south-west, and high westerly swell
aud lulling barometer, the ship steaming on
ly eight knots per hour. We considered
the risk too great to push on, as we might
find ourselves, in the event of a gale, shut
out from any port of supply, and so decided
to bear up for Halifax. At 1 p in. on the
31st, Satubro Island was distant 170 miles,
the ship’s speed varying from eight to ten
knots per hour, the wind south, with rain,
which veered to the westward at 8 p. rn.,
with clear weather at midnight. 1 judged
the slip to have made 122 miles, which
would place her 48 miles south of Sambro,
and 1 then left dock and went into the
chart room, leaving orders about looking
out, and to let me know if they saw anything
and call me at 3 a. m., intending then to
put the ship’s head lo the southward aud
await daylight.
31 y first intimation of the catastrophe was
the striking of the ship on Man’s Island,
aud remaining there fast. The sea imme
diately swept away all port boats. The offi
cers went to their st. tioris and commenced
clearing away the weather boats. Rockets
were fired by the second officer. Before the
boa s could be cleared, only ten minutes
having elapsed, the ship keeled heavily io
the port, rendering the star-boats useless. —
Seeing no help could be got from the boats,
i got the passengers into the rigging and
outside rails, and encouraged them to go for
ward, whife the ship was highest and less
exposed to water. Third officer Biady,
quartermasters Owens and Speakman by this
time having established communication with
an outlying rock, about forty yards distant,
by means of a line, got four other lines to
the rock along which about two hundred
people passed. Between the rock and the
shore was a passage one hundred yards wide
The rope was successfully passed across this,
by which means about fifty got to land,
though many were drowned in the attempt.
At 5 a. m* the first boat appeared from the
island, but she was too small to be of any
assistance.
Through the exertions of Mr. Brady, the
slanders were aroused, and by 6, a. m., 1
three larger boats came to our assistance. —
By their efforts all that remained on the
side of the ship and on the rock landed in
safety, and cared for by a poor fisherman
named Clancy and his daughter.
During the day the survivors to the num
ber of four hundred and twenty-nine were
drifted off to various houses scattered about,
the resident Magistrate, Edmund Ryan,
rendering valuable assistance.
The chief officer having got up the miz
zen rigging, the sea cut oft bis retreat. He
stood for six hours by a woman, who had
been placed in the rigging. The sea was
too high to attempt his rescue. At 2p. m.
a clergyman, Rev. Mr. Ancient, succeeded
in getting him a line and getting him oft.
Many of the passengers, saloon aud steerage,
died in the tigging from cold. Among the
number was the purser of the ship.
Before the boats went out I placed two
ladies in the life bout, but finding the boat
useiess, I carried them to the main rigging,
where l left them, and went aft to encour
age others to go forward on the side of the
ship. At this juncture the boilers exploded
and the boat rolled over to the leeward, the
ship at this time being on her beam ends. —
Finding myself useless there, I went to take
the ladies forward, but found them gone,
nor did I see them afterwards.
Many passengers at this time could not
be stimulated to any effort to save them
selves, but lay in the rigging and died from
fright and exposure.
I remained on the side encouraging, help
ing and directing until about fifteen were
lauded, when, finding that, my hinds and
legs were becoming useless, I left the ship,
two other boats being close to, and embark
ed the remainder. On reaching the shore
I dispatched Mr. Brady, third officer, off to
Halifax across the country, to telegraph the
news of the disaster and to obtain assistance.
Mr. Mot bow, the Cunard Line Agent
promptly responded aud sent two steamers
with provisions, to convey the survivors to
Halifax, where they will be cared for and
forwarded to New York the first opportune
ty, in charge of the first and lourth officers,
tbjs third officer and four men being left at
th Island to care for the dead as they cau.e
;sh re.

The Relief Law Declared Uncon- j
STITUTIONAL. —We learn from a special dis- j
patch from Washington to the Savannah
Xews, that the act to extend the lien of set
off and recoupment —more familiarly known
as the Relief Law—passed by the Legisla
ture of 1870, has leen declared unconstitu
tional by the Supreme Court of the i nited
States. The dispatch is very brief and the
exact nature of the case upon which the Su
preme Court passed is not giveu. Neither
does it state whether the whole act or only
certain sections has been dec!; red to he in
v nation of the provision of the National
C nstitutioo which prevents any State from
arsing a law impairing the obligation < f
contracts. The inference seems to be, how
ever, that the whole act has been declared
unconstitutional. This decision is one of the
greatest importance to the people of Geor
gia. Our own Supreme Court has, by a di-
V led bench, the law with the ex
ception of certain sections, but if the dis
patch which we, noticed be correct, their
decision is reversed and nil the defenses set
up by del ties under the relief law of 1870
are swept away.
