just as we'll think of letting thom run tn
machinery of government.
No, the time has come when the telegraph
should no longer be In the hands Of private
companies or individuals. The British gov
ernment has had the sagacity to see this, has
purchased the lines in England, and on the
lst of January next will take entire control,
in connection with the Post Oflce Department,
of all telegraphic communications. The great
nations have moved slowly in this matter, and
have followed what the lesser ones-such as
Belgium and Switzerland-have done before.
All will have to como to it in time. There Is
no other way Of preserving the secrecy Of
communications inviolable, of preventing mo-
nopoles from using the telegraph to the injury
of the public, and of cheapening the transmits
sion Of messages. The charges for telegraph
ing now are enormous and out Of all proper
ton to the capital actually invested in the
lines. Under government control and in con-
nection with the postal service they could be
reduced to fifth the present rate. In every
point of view, then, for the welfare of the
public and interest of the government, Congress
should at once establish the experimental line
we have spoken Of and prepare the way for
controlling the whole telegraph system of the
country

The Late Executions Mt Mcnphis-A Savage
Spectacle.

The Late Executions Mt Mcnphis-A Savage
Spectacle.
Wethink the hanging Of murderers good
thing ss q wholesome check upon living viii
lalns that way inclined. Public executions,
however, from Newgate to California, are
demoralizing shows and public nuisances.
From the account which we published yes
terday of the public hanging Of two men
for murder at Memphis, Tenn.-a white and
black fellow-the jeering crowd assembled
to enjoy the sensation, whites and blacks, and
their sayings and doings on the exciting occa-
sion made up savage and shocking spectacle.
We are told by our eye witness that it was
shameful sight to see 80 many women in the
crowd, with curiosity 80 unbounded to see the
modus ol1rqngj Of ,he neck stretching that
II the men elbowed the women the Women
shouldered the men for good view, and
jeered and joked for the best places that two
respectfully dressed women, after the hanging
of the first man, went up to the scaffold to see
how the trap was fixed, and what threw the
support from under the platform, &c. that q
IuOre Uou-iOledhtu, utbltYsS iduoio Wap, pcA'
haps, never congregated together; that when
the trap fell this delighted fabble set up pro-
longed cheering, that the handful Of armed
policemen present we're run over and tramped
under foot, that bsrouche laden with women
was by the pressure Of the mob upset In the
dirt, women, horse and all, the horse In his
fall seriously injuring little child that the
alarm Of rescue created o stampede worse
than Bull run, and that such wreck of
womens gear was never before seen and that
| pickpockets did fair business, the rif-raa Of
the crowd being considered.
Now, our metropolitan readers may thin k
this an exceptional case Of public execution,
with all its barbarous accessories; but public
hangings or decapitations are all substantially
the same in these shocking exhibitions Of the
assemblages on such occasions, whether in the
East or West, or In Europe or America. II
such audiences are more orderly in Paris
than anywhere else, 1t is because there they
have police system which is held In whole
some fear, and has trained the mob to whole
some discipline. Throughout the United States
the system adopted in this city, of the exclusion
OF the public from executions OF criminals
ought TO be the law.

ondition Of tho Crops-Harvest Prospects
at Home and Abroad.

The government in Washington is in daily
receipt of written returns relative to the all
important matter Of the probable yield Of the
coming home harvest In the supply Of our two
| great national staples, corn and cotton. The
| official deduction, as at present inferred-but
which may be materially altered. by the in
fluence Of six or seven days of UNMARRIED warm,
| rpening fall weather, coming after timely
rains-is te the etfeee. effect the. the. the corn crop will
be generally short, in decline Of the supply as
compared with that Of the past year. Four
teen States-three Eastern, four Western and
seven in the South and Southwest-exhibit the
crop as equal to-, or superior to, that Of 1868
at this date. while it is anticipated that the
produce Of the grain fields of Illinois and
Indiana will range from twenty-five to thirty
per cent less. In the two last named States
the average expanse of acreage under cereals
has decreased, a fact which should be borne
in mind. In the West and outhwest the crop
will, 1t is thought, be below. New York, with
the New England States, are also set down as
promising a deficiency. Texas, Kansas and
Arkansas will, it is thought go far to reduce
the food balance as against the people, a corn
crop largely in excess of that Of 1868 being
looked for in each
The prospect with regard to cotton Is more
cheering, the condition in all tho States in
which 1t 10 grown having improved since
July. The cultivation has been also mnch
more extensive. South Carolina and Ala
bama make the poorest returns, which may
perhaps be accounted for by many existing
local causes. On the whole the appearance
leads to the hope Of crop larger than
that of last year. These facts with respect
both to corn and cotton are very consoling
as evidences of the vast inherent wealth of our
soil and the grand recuperative energy Of our
people--national blessings which, under Gods
providence, will ever maintain our independ-
ence at home and cause the peoples and gov
ernments of the Old World to look to us with
confidence and hope and in wholesome tone
of respect.
The subject Is really vital In Europe. Our
cable dispatches state that the grain crops in
Great Britain are in the most favorable condition
The late dry and warm weather has fastened
the ripening Of the corn, and on the predica-
ton of an early and abundant harvest, much
of which is already gathered, the advance in
prices had been arrested, An attempt is made
in the same dispatches to create the idea that
the grain crop on the Continent Of Europe
generally, with the exception Of the interior
of Russia, promises to be light This canard
Is circulated, of course, In the interest of the
spectators, who want to raise the price Of
grain. We can say that all our newspaper
reports from Europe contain the direct reverse
of this statpmeDt

LAW TRIUMPHANT IN TExAs.-There has
been legal execution In Texas, and q double
one at that. There was no bungling about
the matter either, and although some five
thousand spectators were present no disturb
ance occurred. At the request Of one Of the
culprits the Sheriff SO adjusted his last cravat
as to allow him to pass into eternity with CON-
parative ease and comfort. How different
this when compared with the horrible tortures
that 80 frequently attend Northern executions |!
1t shows that the State Of Texas, abused and
villiHed as she has been for her outlawry and
homicides, has at least one Christian-liks vir-
tue remaining Her officers know how TO
hang a man In the most civilized and humane
fashion.

is stated that President Salnavo ana myself have
offered to cede the So. Mo holas Mole to the United

clad vessels. WIN you please TO deny this asser-
lion which is without the least foundatlonf The
st. Nicholas Mole does not belong TO President Sal

not at any price, cede particle OF It's territory and
President balnave and mvsef think like the ma

the United States should DC enlightened on this
point-namely that the people Of laytl would never
rafy any treaty tending to the loss OF Its autonomy
or the alienation Of any part of the island OF llayti.
Some intriguing persons can make. or perhaps have
made similar proposition but neither the Arneri-
can government nor capitalists VIII allow them

TIE INDIAN HARBoR Blow Our. There Is
o pleasant spot called Indian Harbor, situated
near Greenwich, Conn, where the big and
little Indians of Tammany are accustomed to
sojourn during the idle times of summer, when
there are no elections on the tapis, and they
locate themselves in the "Americus Club
mansion, where they ''rejoice greatly" in the
comforts and Injuries Of the season. The New
York pilots made cruise in that vicinity day
before yesterday, and were, of course, hospita-
bly, and merrily entertained by the Americus
boys. Why not? They can afford to be
hospltable and merry who enjoy all the losves
and fishes Of the city government.

The AppomattoX.

The people of Petersburg are very pro-
perly earnestly exercised on the subject Of
deepening the channel of Appomattox river;
and the fact shows the Importance OF water
navigation and the utter incapacity Of rail
roads to accomplish what water transpor'a-
ton does. The people Of Petersburg have
n railroad from City Point and another
from Norfolk, yet such is the demand tol
water transportation that they are looking
to see if they cannot get the full benefit o.
it. They find that the prosperity Of then
city demands it. The City Councils n
their last meeting determined to take the
vote of the citizens upon the question OF
authorizing the Council to borrow s2oo,oo'
10 improve the Appomotox. The vote IS t
he taken On the 18th of October. We hope
the people will vote what is needed TO I'M
prove the river. 1t will greatly promote
the interests of commerce and increase th'
thrift of Petersburg. We hope to see tina
city grow.
