Now, ii he means anything by this, he
must mean that a Criminal Court in the
District Of Columbia cannot institute pro-
ceedings against n person for crime
who shall not be an inhabi.ant of, or
found within, said District" If he does not
mean this then there is no meaning to his
words, for they cannot mean anything else.
This view of the law is certainly novel
one. II never occurred to the most imagi-
native mind before. A contrary view has
always been acted upon, uniformly, by the
greatest men who have had occasion TO
construe this law, including ROGER Il.
TANEY. Section of the statute quoted
has always been understood heretofore
To apply exclusively TO n class OF civil ac-
tions. No one ever dreamed of its having
the remotcst relation to criminal prOsccu-
tions.
The originality of the Worid's theory. il
must be admitted, is very striking; but
this originality is all that 1t has to recom-
mend it. The construction is one which
sides, it would lead, practically, not
merely TO the most manifest alb bsurditi,s,
but TO great danger.
If it is correct, II man who was not resi-
dent of the District of Columbia might 20
there and commit any crime, even includ-
ing murder and il he only escaped from
the District before his arrest nothing
could be done against him; grand jury
could not even indict him. Thus, il this
doctrine OF the ITOrld be correct, when
DAN SICKLEs killed BARTON KEY all he had
TO do TO secure immunity from punish
ment-and even from any proceedings
against him-was to get over TIE line into
Maryland or Virginia before his arrest.
Is such nm absurlity to be maintained

The Goodrich Murder

After near four months search,
the murderess of Charles Good
rich, of New York, is at last
found in the person of lady
lover who confesses that she
killed him because she loved
him. This appears wonderful
at first thought, but no more
wonderful than how it is posi-
BILE that goods can be bought at
such extremely low prices at the
green brick front; but such
ceases to be wonderful when ex-
planned. In the first place, by
buying for cash we buy cheap
er, our discounts amounting to
something handsome in the
course of year; secondly, by
selling for cash we make no
bad debts and incur no loss;
thirdly, by selling the large a
mounts each year that we do,
we can well afford to sell at a
small profit. Come and see us
as we are desperately in ear
nest and mean what we say.

From West Tennessee.

A native of Lincoln county
writes to the OBSERVER from
Bolivar, West Tennessee, as fol-
lows:
Cotton is king and fast impov-
erishing the lands. The Mar
row Gauge Railroad from Mem
phis to Knoxville via Bolivar,
is building on some parts of the
line. Between this place and
Saltillo on the Tennessee river
the work is going on in earnest,
and tits hoped that the "Nar-
row Gauge whistle" between
those points, will be heard all
along the line by late fall, max
ing glad the hearts of the peo-
pie living in this rich, beautiful,
inland country, the develop
ment of whose resources will
prove of incalculable value to
the possessor as well as to those
needing their bounties. Be-
tween Bolivar and Memphis
there is nothing doing on the
line, but this link will be made
when Memphis learns that the
'1ron horse" is actually circling
the hills and dashing across the
rich vallies lying between this
point and Saltillo. The Mason
ic and Odd Fellow lodges are in
good healthy condition, like
wise the churches and schools.
The people generally are in good
health and on the road to pros
perity.

Crops in Texas.

A resident Of Cooke county
writes to the OBSERVER under
date of July 10:
We had a very cold and
backward spring. The latter
part of spring and the first of
summer were so tremendous wet
that the farmers got in the weeds
very bad-there is some cotton
that got so grassy that the peo-
pie turned it out entirely. Corn
crops look very bad. We had
some Of the hardest rains in
june that | ever saw. On the
night of the 9Th Of June we
had the hardest rain I ever saw.
and the 18th we had another
heavy rain, and on the 21st We
had a small shower, and that il
the last we had. Cotton crops
look bad in most of places, and

ty will average more than II
bushels Of corn to the acre.

Cholera Notes.

The cholera has at length
shown itself well defined, in
Knoxville. It is to be hoped,
however, the time given her for
preparation for the scourge, the
visitation will be light.
The disease appears to be
generally travelling northward,
following closely the limestone
formations, and generally avoid
ingfreestone districts. Though
there are grounds of hope for
Augusta and Atlanta, still they
do not promise either of them
immunity.
The Atlanta Herald of Sum
day reads the Board of Alder
men of that city justly de-
served lecture on their thought
less repeal of the ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of water mel
ons, and reminds them that
there is now considerable chol-
era morbus in the city.
Greenville, Lebanon, Nash
vile, Gallatin, Memphis, as we'll
as nearly all the towns and cities
on the Ohio River seem to have
had their run, and to have effec-
tually rid themselves of the
malady. In St. Louis fourteen
cholera deaths and sixty-nine
from cholera morbus were re-
ported last week. In Chicago
the disease has broken out with
great virulence. While at Co
lumbus, Ohio, it is exclusively
confined to the penitentiary,
where it kills every convict it
touches, and guards and atten-
dants have escaped. This ex-
plodes the theory that the dis
ease is "Asiatic," and shows be-
yond cavil or doubt, that it is a
creature of our own creation, a
home production.
It is more manageable than
any visitation of a similar char
acter ever seen in this country,
and with proper care may be
conquered in from three to four
weeks, while as many months
were required to rid the country
of the plaques of '49, '52, SO,
"a, and '66.

per bushel. The ost crop is fine,
with the exception Of a few local.
ties where the crop has been in
jured by the chinch bug. Corn is
forward and promises an enor.
nous yield.
lowA.-The prospect for crops
of grain Of all kinds was never
better. Oats have been damaged
by the storms.
ILLINOIS Reports represent
the wheat crop as large and not
much damaged by rain. Oats are
generally in good condition, ex.
cept as TO the damage from storms.
Meadowsinsome partsof the State
are light, owing principally to the
rsvsges of the army worm. Po-
tatoes good. Fruit a failure.
New JERsEY.-The wheat and
rye harvesting is all over and the
crop very satisfactory one. The
fruit crop in some portions of the
State is represented rs failure.

little rain for two months, in con.
sequence of which the hay crop
is not more than half an average

bushels larger than last year.
Corn and oats promising. Fruit
In abundance.
New YoRK.-The wheat crop
