For the Gazette.] 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.” A. E H. 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. Errata. —In the article published last week —“Heaven” —by “A. E. II.” the au thor says the compositor made several mis takes. He says: “I am made to say from the divinity of the Saints &c., when it should of been under the luminous blaze of light from the divini ty the Saints chant &e. and 1 am made to say courts of honor when it should of been courts of Heaven. 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. Capt. S. Hendson. Jlr. Bessemer now talks of making a cau non to throw a twenty-two thousand pound ball 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.
