The British Parliamentary Crisis
Ended-Mr. Gladstone and HIS Col
leagues Again In Once.
For the present the Cabinet crisis is ended.
1t Is undeniable that Mr.. Gladstone has won
greater victory than if he had been successful
in carrying through his Irish University bill.
II has long been an established custom in the
British Parliament that the opposition, when
successful in voting down the party in
power, should accept the consequence Of
their own acts and proceed to form Minis
try. Mr.. Gladstone, too proud spirited to re-
main in Office on mere sufferance was bat fol-
lowing established usage when he resigned the
seals of Office into the hands of the Queen If
Mr.. Disrael did not foresee the results of his
policy of opposition the fault is his own. The
weakness of the tory party has not in many
years been SO emphatically confessed. Mr..
Gladstone has just cause to be proud of the
course Of conduct which he followed and of
the position in which he again finds himself.
In spite of all this, however, it is not unjust to
say that Mr. Gladstons's Irish Cancellation
policy has resulted in failure. For four years
he has steadily labored for the removal of
ancient abuses in the laws and institutions of
Ireland WHAT'S to be the fate Of the Irish
University bill we know not But Mr.. Glad
stone must be fully convinced that if Ireland
is to be conciliated and made contented under
English rule he must either make larger con-
cessions or adopt different course of conduct
Much as he has done Ireland is not satisfied;
Ireland is not contented. When the Irish
people themselves have voted against his Uni
versity measure it is not to be wondered at
that it does not command the support Of the
English tories. When Mr.. Gladstone came
into power after the last general cleo
ton he could count with confidence
on faithful majority amounting almost to
one hundred. It was this majority which
enabled him to carry with so much ease his
former measures of reform. The sudden
break down proves that his Irish University
bill is not popular; but it proves more. It
proves that from some cause or other
he has, to some extent, lost his control of
the House Of Commons, and the presumption
is that the altered sentiment of the peoples
House is but reflection of the altered sent-
ment of the country.
What course Ministers may now follow it
is difficult to foresee. If it is the opinion Of
the tory Leaders, as Mr.. Disraei says, that
there is no necessity for dissolution, it is but
little likely that Mr.. Gladstone and his friends
will voluntarily run any such risk as is i'm
piled in an appeal to the people. It is not at
all improbable that for the present session Ire
land will be let alone, and that the time will
be devoted to the consideration of other meas
ures of greater interest to the great body of
the people. Mr.. Gladstone, however, is more
or less bound to prosecute the work which he
has begun, and it remains to be seen whether
he will halt before he crowns the edifce of
Irish reform, to which, for four consecutive
years, he has so hboriously devoted his time
and his energies.

The Atlantic Cable ~ . Detective.
A special HERALD telegram from Havana
enables us to print in our columns the facts
connected with the important arrests which
have been made in that city of persons
charged with having perpetrated or being very
directly implicated in the recent frauds on
the Bank Of England by forgery. The case
has been closely pursued, and the results ore,
SO far, very encouraging to the cause of JUS
tice by the speedy detection Of crime. Elec-
tricity was made available through the cables
to very efficient extent. Some of the pris-
oners travelled under United States passports,
which they alleged to be genuine. The ques-
ton of the non-existence Of an extradition
treaty with Spain having presented itself, the
Captain General of Cuba telegraphed to Ma
drid for instructions, and received in reply
authority to act in the premises as if the
Spanish Republic had ON extradition
treaty with Great Britain. It is no
new doctrine that the progress of science
would lead to the detection Of the criminal,
and so would prove powerful agent of civiliza-
ton in the higher sense. In these times, in
fact the criminal has better chance to escape
punishment than to escape detection. Within
the fold Of civilization, proper. there is no
longer hiding place for the man who has
proved himself the enemy Of society. One Of
the latest examples is furnished by the capture
Of Mcdonnell, the alleged London forger, in
the bay. It will be seen that the steamship
Celtic, which sailed from Liverpool for New
York on tho 18th of the present month, carries
out Inspector Webb, of the London police
force Inspector Webb brings with him the
extradition papers to secure Mcdonnell and to
take him back to England. In this, as in
many previous instances the Atlantic cable
has proved most efficient detective

Tine Mopocs IN THE LAVA BEDS occupy a
most unenviable position at the present time.
According to our special despatch, published
in the HERALD to-day General Candy has so
planted the United States troops and the
howitzers at his command that Jack will
neither be able to escape nor organize raids on
the settlers in the neighborhood. The Indian
camp is to be completely surrounded. The
movements Of the soldiers are somewhat
mysterious, but enough is known to venture the
opinion that within the next few days Jack

The wretched beings VINO yesterday
were hurled out of existence are merely
types Others there are behind them who
will feel in way they have never before
seemed to realize how great has been their
crime. It is natural that when law is lax
and unreliable the murderer should be able
mentally to disburden himself of guilt They
knew that murder was deadly sin; but if the
sin was measurable only by the punishment
they could, in their immunity, Aatter them
selves that it was not SO great sin after all
The two executions detailed elsewhere will
bitterly change all this. The dishonored
corpses the shameful and degrading form in
which death came, will tell our murderers
what murder truly is. They will cast
the eyes of their soul from the
scene where they took human life to that
where avenging justice will with heaped up
horror take theirs. The courtesies of jailers,
the words of faltering hope from the lips of
friends the pious ministrations of clergymen
will serve but family to veil the forecast of
their miserable fate. 1t is not true that these
lessons are thrown away upon the multitude.
The actual hanging is disgusting as we'll as
q deplorable exhibition but let the rowdy
with his hand upon knife or pistol but catch
one soaring glimpse Of that death scene, and he
will falter before he stabs or fires.
Terrible as are the means that must be used
we welcome the reign of law in all its stern
majesty. The HERALD through all the despair
ing time of New York bcset by homicides has
steadily called for justice-for punishment
where il was due. We never advocated the
straining of single point of law to find man
ON trial for his life guilty. Once n murderer
was pronounced so by competent authority we
have withstood the most persistent pressure to
weaken our unloading call for justice. The
mere conviction of man we held to
be nothing If the contempt at first held
for law in oil forms could be succeeded
by contempt for deliberate verdict. In
the carrying out of what punishment that ver-

New Mexican Mcrmaids.

A delicate but self-satislied youth
of great Gotham recently found
himself in one of our New Mexican
coaches. In leaving our goodly
town the shoddy exquisite placed
himself carefully upon one back seat
by the side of a miniature rifle and
fishing tackle, which he carried as
part Of his baggage. AS the coach
drove over the Acequia bridge the
youth saw picture which caused
his heart to dance with delight. In
the shade of the tall cottonwood
trees. which line the banks, gamb-
oled group of young Mexican girls
in the limpid waves of the Acequia.
"For Gods sake, Mr. Driver, what
are those beautiful animals?"
Them are mermaids." answered
the stage man, suppressing twinkle
in both eyes.
20, hold on for just one minute"
and out went eXqusAe with line and
rod, while he threw the hook toward
the laughing group with gesture Of
beseeching agony.
The gay throng gradually closed
on the fascinated fisherman rs he sat
upon the bank drinking in the rap
turous scene before him, but paying
little attention to his line or bait,
Suddenly black-eyed Peri of about
fifteen caught the end of his pole,
and with a deXterous movement
landed the fisherman into the middle
of the Acequia. Every mermaid of

interest in irrigating their captive,
who only succeeded in crawling up
the Acequia bank after desperate
struggles. and very much in the con-
dition of Norway rat. as

SeedaCorn.

Those farmers who desire to i'm
prove their seed corn must remem-
Der that the work Of selecting it
must commence now.
| There are two chief requisites in Il
| good corn, VIZ early maturity and
prolificness. We feel that there is
too little attention paid to this mat
ter by farmers generally, BY neg
lect and Incidence they will let the
season for selecting seed pass by;
and next spring, when they get
ready to plant. thes will pay some
more enterprising neighbor two or
three times the commercial value, to
get some good seed corn. ..
1t is law of nature that like pro-
duces like, under like circumstances.
If we want to improve the earliness
of our corn crop. we must select our
seed from those stalks that first ma
ture. AS a rule, those ears mature
first that ''shoot' first. Go through
your field and mark with piece Of
red flannel, or other device. one hun
dred of those stalks that shoot first.
Later, go through again, and mark
all of that hundred that shows ten
dency to perfect two good ears
When ripe, select all perfect, we'll
formed, deep-grained ears from this
marking, and tie them up for seed.
Plant these by themselves next
year, and from this planting make
another selection in similar man
ner, using more care to save seed
from the two-eared stalks; also
keeping in mind the early maturity,
The third years planting will dc.
velop a seed, if proper care has been
used that will show two good ears
to the stalk, in seven-tenths of the
planting.
1t is in this way that the yield of
our great cereal can be increased to
eighty, ninety, or one hundred bush
els per acre and the man that first
perfects these valuable qualities can
make q snug little fortune in raising
corn for seed alone. We hope some
of our young and enterprising far
mers will take hold Of this matter.
Don't let the season pass without
making an effort in this direction.

Judge Barton then read the follow

mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The President in his re-
port has brought to the attention of
this Convention the prospect of COM
pieting the connections north with
Cincinnati and south with Charleston,
Wilmington and other points south,
with his suggestions that in perfect
ing these desirable objects it may be
necessary for the Company to enter
into permanent contracts for the in

Company and other roads, and also,
to sci the Morristown road: There

ResoLeed, That it is the sense of
this Convention. that the interest of
the country and this Company are
one and the same. and all through
connections which open up great
lines of commerce and travel, whilst
they increase revenues of this Com
pany, develop and increase the ma
terial wealth and prosperity of the
country, and therefore all steps here
tefore taken by the President and
Directors to secure through connec-
tions North and South, have been
and are hereby ratified and adopted
by the stockholders in convention.
Resolred. That as the contracts
heretofore made, by which the funds
of the Company have been used for
the purpose of purchasing the North
Carolina roads, have been so ad-
vanced alone with the view of secur-
ing through connection, and not with
the view Of investment, it is the
sense of this Convention that our
President and Directors shall as soon
as practicable make sale and trans
fer of the NIorristown road, as will
secure the repayment of the princi-
pal and interest of the loan so adj
vanced by this Company. on such
terms as may be agreed upon and Sc
cure the through connection so es-
sential to the interest of this Com
panY.
ReSOlUeCl, That the President and
Directors are hereby authorized to
make all necessary contracts be-
tween this Company and all connect
ing roads. that may be necessary to

sired.

against 49,626 bales for the yeal
ending 30th June 1872-showing 9
decrease in the shipments of cotton
from that point of 19, 1926 bales. This
decrease may have been caused by
the unsatisfactory condition of af
fairs on the Selma, Rome, and Dal
ton Road. In consequence of the
complications and troubles on the
Road mentioned. your passenger as
well as your freight business has no
doubt been seriously affected. This
much regret and hope that very
soon this valuable connection will be
fully restored.
We received and forwarded from
Chattanooga for the year ending
30th June, 1873. 114,795 bales cot
ton while the number of bales for
warded during the preceding year
was 82,112, showing an increase.
from that point of 32.683 bales.
During the year just closed of 492
car loads stock were shipped out of
East Tennessee which is an increase
of 138 car loads over the preceding
year.
Wheat shipped, 713,776 bushels,
which is an increase over the preced-
ing year of 632, ,72O bushels.
During the year ending 30th June,
1871, 1929 car loads of coal were
shipped over your Road for 1872
$3.50 car loads and for the year just
closed 4.449 car loads. of 9 tons

years shipments of coal of 1109 car
loads over the previous year. This
business it is believed, will continue
to increase.
Shipments of pig iron for the year,
12,440,634 pounds which is quite an
increase over the preceding year.
An examination of the various
