A SPANISH sLAUGHTER.HOUsE.

Scene of the Executions ut Santiago de Gu
ba-CIumsy work Enjoyed by 81 Brutal
Audience.
The New York Tribune, speaking of the
cruelty of the Spaniards in Cuba gives this
account of their executions:
These executions always take place in the
slaughter-house, about three quarters of n
mile distant. 1t was there that the Virgin
ius' victims ended their lives From the
prison near the centre of the city the Gale
del Theatre makes somewhat sudden
curve. On the morning of an execution,
the battalion of volunteers are summoned
at an early hour from the barracks, and
proceed to the prison. The prisoners are
led forth, bound, and the solemn process
sion then takes up its death march.
The building is a low, whitewashed
structure of forbidding aspect-an adobe
house with a steep roof, which projects far
beyond its walls on either side. Around
this building is n trench, into which the
waters of the roof fall. 1t is about two feet
deep. On the upper side of this building
the procession halts and forms hollow
square, with the prisoners in the centre.
The side next the slaughter-house is OPEN
ed, and the victims are led to the border of
the trench. Here they are bound hand
and foot, though their eyes are left uncov-
cred. They are then required to kneel
along the trench, Will IdCeS luTlleu UOWdTu
the wall. In the midst of the hollow square
stand the Colonel and the priests. The
duties of the spiritual advisers being at
length performed, they retire with the
Colonel, and at signal from the latter the
whole company fires. The unfortunate
victims fall forward into the trench, some
dead, some dying, others slightly wounded.
The artillery force who have been station
ed in the background, now advance and
drive their clumsy carriages carelessly over
the victims. Several times is this part of
the ceremony repeated, and it is by that
! time supposed that all are dead. The dead
| wagons are then heaped with corpses,
among which is sometimes seen still
| quivering body. A half mile away they
are buried, and the soldiery disperse TO
! their barracks.
The slaughter house is Scared and bat
| tered with bullets on its northern side.
| Here are inhumanly slaughtered persons
of all ages and both sexes. The Spaniards
! show no mercy to gray-haired patriarchs,
! to women, or to children. Three years ago
little girl four years OF age was led forth
to her death. The offense was a refusal to
| make known her fathers hiding place.
| The days of execution are gala days in the
| city. Hundreds of men, women and chill
| dren pour forth from its streets and press
| forward in the throng. As the victims
| fall dying in the trenches, these crowds
push madly forward to view the bleeding
| bodies, the military give way for a mo-
ment, and not until that moment arrives
are the appetites of the blood-thirsty spec
| tators stated.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE vIRGIxIUs.
What Our Former Consul at Kingston
Thinks of the Situation.

We had the pleasure of conversing last
night with our former fellow citizen, Rev.
Thos. H. Pearne, late Consul for the United
States at Kingston, Jamaica. His resigna-
ton has been accepted by Secretary Fish,
and he is now an agent of the American
Colonization Society, for the territory south
of the Potomac and west of the Allegha-
MES, with headquarters at Cincinnati. DIR.
Pearne is now en- route for the latter city
from Savannah, where he has started thir-
ty-four colored people for Liberia. EE
In conversation concerning the Nir-
ginius affair, the Doctor said that
for some weeks before the vessel started
on its unfortunate expedition, Captain
Fry had been at Kingston. During that
time he had learned to know him well,
and he respected him highly for many good
qualities. He thought he was a conscien-
ciOus, high-minded man. He was Catholic
aud very sincere man. Before the war
he was Superintendent of Light Houses
on the Gulf coast and during the war a
blockade runner.
DR.. Pearne, as Consul under the law was
called upon to appoint captain to the YES
| leftfor New York from Kingston and did
not return. He named Fry as its Captain
| in accordance with the wishes of those in
| charge of the vessel.
1t is not true, as formerly reported, that
as Consul he expostulated with Fry about
| his expedition, but it is true that he talked
with him about it, and that Fry under
stood its character He said it was a mat
| ter of bread with him. The ships paper
rightfully claimed to be ali American yes
sci.
DR.. Pearne thinks the controversy will
| end without war.

Judges or some legislation which shall les
sen the number of trivial causes which
now consume their time. The good OF the
public demands that his subject be fairly
presented to the people.
In reference to the particular opinion
above referred to, the review closes as fol-
ows:
1t is certain that it will he overruled
whenever this court or any successor that
it may have shall have before it case in
volvipg the same principles. This court,
properly understanding the matter, can
never maintain the position taken by
Judge Freeman that section 2007 of the
code abolishing entails and establishing in
the first take an absolute fee with
full right of disposition, merely converts
the contingent remainder into an eXecu-
tory devisee and limits the right of aliena-
ton. Nor yet will this court, properly
understanding the matter, consent to re-
iect the well settled rule, that where there
is in will period fixed for passing to
the devisee an absolute estate and limit
alton over on the contingency of death,
that the contingency shall be referred to a
period preceding the absolute estate.
Nor will the court isolate Tennessee by re-
fusing to follow the continuous and au-
thoritative precedents supporting the rule.
The result is deploraOle, however, in
this, that Mr.. Cousins, who ought to-day
to have been the owner of handsome
fortune, is deprived of it beyond recall, and
the other recipients of their fathers boun-
ty are cut down practically to life estate
in what their father intended to be and
called their inheritance.
1t will be seen that we have treated the
decision as simply that of Judge Freeman,
and so indeed it is, for this reason, the case
was argued before only two Judges, c. J.
Nicholson and Judge Freeman-McFar.
| land, Judge, being absent.
1t may be said without any doubt of its
correctness, that neither he nor the three
Judges of the other section-Deaderick
\ Turney or Sneed-ever read the record in
the case or any brief presented by the
counsel, and it may be presumed that the
same may be said of the Chief Justice. II
is well known by this counsel that he eX-
pressed no desire, after the argument, to be
| furnished with copy of the briefs. In
this particular Mr.. Cousins is no worse of
| than most suitOrs, since the system in the
Supreme Court makes the decisions moth
ing more than the opinion of one Judge.

OUR SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

The Memphis avalanche contains a
three aud half column review of a recent
decision Of the Supreme Court of this
State, in what is known as the Cousins
case. Mrs. Cousins was the daughter of
George p. Cooper. After she was 81 years
old Miss Cooper received her share of her
fathers estate, married Peter X. Cousins,
of Memphis, and died without issue The
question in the case before the court was to
construe the will Of Mr.. Cooper and to as
certain what estate Mrs. Cousins took
thereby and to what her husband was en-
titled under her will.
The decision OF the Court is
reviewed in an able and compre-
hensive argument, upon the merits Of
which 1t is not our purpose now to enter.
The point to which we invite the attention
OF the Court, Bar and people, is the charge
made in the concluding part of the article,
that the opinions Of our present Supreme
Court are in fact but the opinions of the
Judge who takes. the transcript for exami-
nation. If the citizens of Tennessee pay
six Judges a salary TO decide causes and
determine the laws of the Commonwealth,
because they believe the opinion of six
gentlemen, Learned in the law" is better
than ono, when, as a matter Of fact, circum
stances are such that-iR causes decided they
get the opinion and benefit of the exami-
nation OF but one judge, it is time the leg
islature and people devised some other sys

JoNEsBoRo', Tenn, Nov. 25, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Chancery Court
is IN session here this week, His Honor III.
c. Smith Presiding Chancellor. Butlittle
business has as yet been transacted, and as
there has been no court for some time, ow-
ing, first, to The near approach of small
pox, and then the cholera visitation, it is
probable that the term will last two weeks.
On Monday Chancellor Smith heard in
Chambers the important case of Gen. ]. A.
Mabry VS.. G. B. Nancy, Mr.. L. Tlllman,
of your city, appearing for the former, snd
II. ii. Taylor for the latter. Both of these
young attorneys acquitted themselves with

suit.
POLITICAL.
There being a considerable number of
sOvereigns present, we conceived it an OPP
perfume time to discover, as far as possible
the condition OF the political pulse. After
conversing with several leading and in flu
entail men, We were somewhat surprised
! to find that the Republicans of the county
intend, as far as they are concerned, that
a change shall be made in our Congression-
| al representation, at the next election.
| They were unanimous in the belief and
| expression that the interests imperatively
demand it, and in looking the list of gen.
tIemen qualified for the exalted station,
have selected Hon. f. j.. Gillenwaters,
the present Circuit Judge of Judi
cial Circuit. There is no doubt
but Judge Gillenwaters has ingrati-
ated himself into the confidence and
esteem of the people, by his straightforward
course and unbending integrity as a Re.
publican, his uprightness as a man, and
the dignified and impartial manner in
which he has administered the law.
IfJudge Gillenwaters consents to crafty

are bound soon TO assume a tangible form,
