MOB LAW.
The TsrrlbIs AffslF In the Public Square at
Nashville on Monday.
Actisa Of Governor Brown, Mayor Norris,
and Sheriff Donaidssa-0 Quiet Prevails.

NASHVILLE, March 26.-The mob
of last night is condemned and de-
plOred by the mass OF the citizens.
1t was gotten up suddenly and its pur-
poses carried out rapidly. Mayor
Morris, although informed that it
might be expected, had not time to
consummate his arrangements to pre-
vent it before the prisoner was shot
and taken from the jail and hanged
to lamppost on the public square,
when Governor Brown had a detsch.
ment OF federal troops detailed to act
as a civil pOssee under the mayors di-
rections, but when they arrived the
mob had done its work and the ring
leaders dispersed, and only q crowd
of excited lOOkers-on remained. They
were addressed by Governor Brown,
denouncing the mob law and pledg-
ing himself to execute the laws and
punish ali offenders. Those who partic.
ipated in the mob are supposed to be
railroad men. Sheriff Donaldson is
extOlled for his bravery in pushing his
way through the mob to cut the pris-
OneE down; he risked his life but
failed. Although saved from death
by hanging, the prisoners wounds are
mortal, though he may survive sew
eral days. >
David Jones, colored, who was shot
by the mob last might, died this morn
ing. He made a confession OF the
crimes of which he had been guilty,
but denied shooting Murray. On the
other hand, Murray, who knew Jones
well, in his dying statement declared
that he was shot by him.

LOUISVILLE AND mEuPHIs.

Every Western road from New
York seeks ultimately, but unfailing-
Iy, Chicago. But all penetrate and
develop, in reaching Chicago, widely
different but equally important re-
giOns Of country. Memphis is the
Chicago Of the Southwest, and Louis
vile may be, if she chooses the New
York Of the vast domain south and
southwest Of that city. Bat she must
have bOldness, Iiberality and mastery
craftsmanship to secure this rank and
fame. Fortunately for Louisville,
while seeking an independent and
more direct line Of road to
PAducah, she will secure another
direct and independent line OF
road to Memphis-her ChicagO-the
Chicago of the southwest. By
this means Louisville unietters COM
merce, enriehes and populstes wide
districts, and assures cheap transpOrta-
tiOn by competing lines. A city
should be the supreme mistress Of her
railways, and no one road should die
tate Its own terms to q eity's COM
merce. To-day Louisville is the pup
pet of q great railroad monopoly, and
Louisville trembles at the suggestion
Of revolt. However great and palpa-
BILE the necessity for an independent
line frOm Padueah to i Louisville, Lou.
isville dare5 not, in violation Of the
DEGREES Of railway kings, aid in build
ing for the Paducah road an
independent trackwsy. The wealth
OF Arkansas and that Of many
States gathered at Memphis,
aud of distant Western States, soon
to be transmitted TO the East and
Europe through Memphis, will de-
mand and exhaust the resources Of
more than one single railway to
Louisville, and 1t would be crime If
Louisville suffer a road that has been
supreme and unrivalled until its greed
for power, growing with what it feeds
upon all-grasping and insatiate, to
control the rates Of freight on two
roads to Memphis by owning the
northern end of both.

pefeat OF mexican RebeIs.

NEW YORK, March ga special
dispatch from Matamoras says that
the defeat of the rebels was more
complete and disastrous than was
hitherto known. Trevino and Mar
tineis revolutionists, who quarreled
a month ago, have not co-Operated
with each other since. The revOlu-
tionists are generally demoralized.
It is expected that they will evaeuate
Carsmsrgo and the whole border very
soon. ROeha is probably now march
ing on Mazatlan, whence he will at
tempt to capture Diaz. Arms, 1t is
said, have been accumulated there by
the revolutionists. General Zepeda
defeated the rebel cavalry on the 18th
instant. near Chararto. There was
a rising in Minstillan, headed by the
revolutionary chief Veia, who has also
beer crushed. Yeta himself was
killed.

BROWNSVILLE, March 26.-The
United States district court, Judge
Morrill, presiding, being the first Fed,
eral court held here for several years,
hiss concluded its session. Many con-
victi0ns for smuggling and breaches
of the internal revenue laws hsve Oc-
Cured. The Judge exercised Glenn
ency in sentencing criminals, as the
federal laws on the frontier had been
neglected 50 long thatsuch crimes had
come to be looked upon as not vensl.
He warned them that hereafter Of

the laws must be enforced.

vaneed into the State of Neuvaluon,
and threatens Quirogas. CommUni-
cation with the IL terror of the revOlu-
ton, north of Sierra Madra, appears

STILL ISSUING HIS BULLS.


II Sir Oracle DuBose would only
indulge in a little silence, he might
have some chance OF impressing peo.
pie with his own estimate Of himself.
He is trying TO create the conviction
that he is a modern Jove, and that il
he does not WELD, he is at least In
collusiOn with the lightning and the
storm. Were it not that his head is
as utterly destitute Of brains as the
huge boots upon his hoofs, and that
he Is entirely lacking in the generous
Qualities which are necessary to q par
ty leader. and did not the peO-
pie rec0i; instinctively from a
nature so selfish, 50 dOmineering, so
full Of bile, 50 crude snd unlearned,
SO faulty OF Judgment, so abOrtive in
conception and notoriously deficient
In tact and originality, he would be
dangerous to the people, whereas he is
now only public nuisance. Not con-
tent with the shameful assault made
upon the APPEAL on Saturday, Sir
Oracle DuB0se rises in his place on
Monday and rRneWs the attack. Bat
the last assault was nothing but a
rehash of his old assertions; thus
showing that he has no origi-
nality, and that his third-rate
powers OF apprehension are even
stamped upon the ideas he borrows.
In his writing and speeches, this self
constituted oracle reminds one of
those crabs which crawl on the reefs
of Florida, and which, armed with
fOrbiddiDg tentaeles and strong, pre-
daceous claws, but terminating behind
In a weak, pUlpy, finless body, drop
themselves into the shell OF other fish
and war upon them from an usurped
fortress. Apart from want of origi-
naIity, his harsngues are mere rant,
assertion and rigmsrOle simply
'three blue beans in a blue
bladder" In other words, he is one
Of those trifas which, as a great
writer tells Us, "hoat and are pre-
served in the shipWreck OF the
State, "whiIe everything solid and
valuable gOes TO the bottom and is
lost forever." But this tireless,
and malignant popipjay will live
TO learn that the APPEAL can no
more be damaged by his saliva than
was the rst-tail file by the slime of
the serpent which undertook to
gnaW it unto death. No one knows
better than this self constituted oracle
that such men as he are the creations
OF the press; aud however much he
may strut and vapor on the floor of
the Senate, he will be quick enough to
ask obsequiOusly for the renewal
OF its fay0rs now that he is
about TO return to that origi-
nal obscurity from which, for his
own sake as well as that OF the public,
be should never have emerged. The
APPEAL with shame. .facedness con-
fesses that it did much towards max
ing the gas-bag which Shelby county
sent TO the State senate, and instead
Of being proud Of the Job, it has abund-
ant cause to deplOre its agency in the
task Of creating the worthless thing.

Great Excitement In the New York Stock
Exchange.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The rise in
Erie was the sensation of the day yes
terday. No such excitement has been
witnessed before on Wall street for
years. Numerous instances of negO-
tiators In stock having made immense
sums are reported. The number OF
shares that changed hands Is estimat-
ed at two hundred thousand. The
opening price Of tifty-tWo cents rapid
ly advanced in the morning, and un-
der the stimulus Of orders to buy, tel
egraphed from Europe, the price had
reached sixty cents at the close. The
World editOrialy says that jay Gould
alone netted profit OF s., ,24O, 900, and
expresses its suspicious that yester-
days business was but 3 feature of
the great plot of Sickles' combination
to make a colossal fortune.
The excitement in Erie was renewed
this morning. The transactions have
been enormous, probably sggregating
two hundred thousand shares. The
advance Is due to the transactions Of
London buyers.
