MOB LAW IN INDIANA.

Southern Indiana has again been the
scene of lawless tragedy. Three years
since six or more members OF the Keno
gang of express robbers were hanged by
moh law; about two years ago three ne
eroes, murderers Of the Park family, were
taken out of the ChsrlestOwn jail and hang
ed. and on the 20Sh of October, 1870, Pick
EFT ard ToDgat, burglars, were rescued
from the officers of the law while on their
way to the Orange county jail, and hanged
by the same process of Judge Lynch's irres-
popslbIe court. Yesterday morning
Delos Heffren, who killed Hal
stead a few days ago, was
taken from the Washington county jail and
hanged by members of probably the same
oroan;z ;zation which oficiated In the other
acts of violence. 1t is a fact very generally
understood that a vigilance organization
exists in the five counties OF CLARK, orange,
Washington, Jackson aud Brown, all in
Southern Indiana. No person who has re-
gard for the law can excuse their lawless
acts, but themselves state in extenuation
that the laws are not properly en-
forced in the Southern Indiana courts, and
that they act in self nrotection. In yester-
davis tragerdy it is claimed thai Heffren
would in all probability have escaped the
penslty which It was thought thu astrocious
quality of bis crime deserved, and hence
the action of these vigHiants. If this kill
ing were properly stated, Hetfren undonDt-
edly deserved the EXTREMIST penalty OF the
law, but this lawless procedure deserves
equally the severest punishment, and no
pains should be spared to bring the pei
petrstors to Justice. The general good
order of the land demands that sue out
lawry should be punished, and, as we have
repeatedly urged in like instances in Ken
tucky, so should the majesty of the outraged
law be avenged in Indiana. The people OF
every State have it IN their power to cor
rect an inefficient or a corrupt j1dicisry,
and this remedy was open to the people of
Indiana in this instance. The justice
meted out to Heffren was bought at to1
dear a cost.-LouiSpilie Courier-JournGI,

In addition to these q considerable num-
Der of negroes diei N the suburbs and were
buried in vacant lands near the city, by
parties of their own color without spplYing
to our regular undertskers. We have
heard of ifty-three being buried in one
pl'ce, not more than fourth or a third
procured collins from the undertSkers. The
cases thus occurring of which no account
is had, added to those who died previous to
the 9Th Of June, it is thought will bring the
number fully up TO $50, thus showing that
the mortality of this year has been fully
equal in number to that # 1886, while the
death-rate according to population
has been considerably larger. We
may cali this pestilence by what
ever name may suit the fancy, but the re.
c2rd shows that it has been more vrulent
than that which scourged our city so terri
bly, in 1866. Thus we find that from the
7th to the 30th of September in that year,
both days inclusive, the number who died
from cholera was 659. This year during
the corresponding days in June, there were
6S1 de aths from bolera, Of which the un-
der'skers have record, and then we know
of from thirty 70 thirty-dve negroes buried
at one place who are not included in any
undertaker's count. This clearly shows
a greater mortality this year. 1t is also
probable that greater number were at
tackled this year who recovered, than in
1896. We have heard this suggested
by persons in whose judgment
we have good deal of confidence. This
disease has followed the old cholera track
in its former visits to this city, and its
greatest mortality has been in the belt
in which the largest mOrtally resulted from
previous visits, showing conclusively that
there must be something local which invites
the pestilence to revel in the lower portions
of the city, where the water is unquestion-
ably bad, and the sewerage of such inferior
character as scarcely to deserve the name.
These facts establish the other fact that We
have had cholera here in its worst form
3 cholera that kills equal to any
thing of Asiatic extraction. The
sc-urge has been terri
bic oIs, and the lesson it has taught US
must not be lightly thrown aside, now that
the pIstilence is lifting its dread form and
drifting away. Let US go resOlutely to
work and never be caught again in the con-
dition we were when the cholera broke out
among US this time. There is no reason
why we cannot and should not make Nash
vile so healthy that cholera could find no
lodpPment here,

THE CROP PROSPECTS IN BED

10 LnB Union anu american.
BEDFORD, June 80, 1S73.-We are hay
ing plenty OF rsin-it has been raining
nearl three weeks, and only about three
days in the time that we cou.d plow. Cot
ton is small, and as grassy as it ever gets;
In fac5, some farmers have despaired of
cleaning it, and turned it over to the grass.
The yield will tie small compared with last
year, even if it should turn off dry. Corn
is small, and is sutfe ing for want of plow-
ing. Some farmers were compelled toplant
the third time, on account of cat-worms;
in fact, this has cen buggy as we'll as a
wormy year, an every thing that has been
planted has suffered more or less from in
sects. The oat cropis fine. The hay crop
about an average, but the great want is
weather suitable for saving these two crops.
Irish potatoes in some localities are a CON-
plete fiilure-cause, potatoe bugs. Veeeta-
bles are very fne, but the cholera excl ement
is up and we are afraid to indulge, although
we have not had case in the Cow Range
yet, nor nearer than Shelbyville. The tenn
tstion is great and hard TO resist. There
viii be about half crop of wheat in some
localities; in others it will not paw to cut
it, and 1t has been left standing. TIE Sc
we're winter caused it TO fieeze out.

Fox SPRINGS, Tenn, June 20, IS73.-
The prospecg for excellent corn crops is in
deed flattering. The farmers are exulting
in the hope that their gamers will be boun-
tifully filed and their ls5ors crowned with
success. The wheat on the bottom lands
promises bountiful yield. The prospect
for an abundant harvest of oats is f1attering
in the extreme, along the fertile bottoms
of Obed aud Cumberl nd rivers.
The sales Of tobacco the present year
have proved an efficient stimulaut to our
enteTpIising planters, who are planting
largely. If the seas, is favorable they will
doubtless contribute literally during the
present year TO the already extensive pat
ronage of the ine steamer John 5. Brans-
ord to which We are Indebted for the res-
enable rates OF exporting our produce in

CHARLOTTE, June 30, 1873.-The farm
ers have about got through harvesting theil
wheat, which was very much damaged
early 10 the sprirg and later by the heavy
rains and latest by the Scab. The wheat
raised in our courty this year is about a
half yield compared with that of last year
Farmers at this time are busy laying by
corn, which article is cultivated very extern
sively this year and looks fine at present
Tobacco also is looking fine. Peanuts are
not cultivated very extensively in oul
county this season, and what is cultivated
does not promise fair yield. Potatoes
look very well. INDUS.

ALADY writes as follows, and, as she
probably belongs to one oftte two classes
of women she last mentions, she probably
knows whereof she speaks: 1t appears in
this age that an exquisitely neat taste is
acquired" Girls under twenty are rarely
tidy. They may desire 10 look neat, but
they do not attain to exquisite freshness.
Old maids, and women happily married, are
the ones who learn the refinement and the
uuintescence ofneatness. The former nat
urally incline that way, and the latter have
the incentive to excite and retain their hus-
hands admiration.

was heavy, but the time shows the race
hot one. Cape Race led from the start to
the finish; Lady Fairfield second; Racket
third; Quartermaster fourth; Roger Han
SOD fifth; and Lloyd and Davis entries dis
tanced. The second heat was a splendid
one; Cape Race secured the lead at he
start and kept it to the quarter pole, when
QuartermssteI, who was running very fast,
came up to him, and the two ran necs and
neck to the finish, passing under the wire
so close together that the Judges declared
it a dead heat in 1.50a. None of the
other entries having taken a heat, they
we're under rules sent to the stable and
Caps Race and Quartermaster ended the
race. The start in thu next heat was an
extremely bad one, Cape Race having not
less than 80 yards the start, and running
well. 1t seemed impossible that his antag
onist should ever reach him with such q
start, but the gallant chestnut lspoed Race
at the half-mile pole, and as they came
down the home stretch they were nearly
neck and neck. Cape Race, however,
passed under the wire neck ahead, and
was declared winner OF the heat and race.
