CRIME IN TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, May 3O.-It is re-
ported here that a white man eigh-
teen years of age was hung in
CORTLAND, Ala, last night by the
citizens for outraging the person of
a white girl much younger.
The graves of the Federal dead
ia the Nashville National Cemetery
were decorated'tO day. There was
an attendance of about 300. 1t is
reported that just after prayers,
and before proceeding to scatter
flowers on the graves, a difficulty
occurred among somes colored peO-
pie, in which one woman and sever
al cOlored men we're knocked down
with rocks. One man is reported
seriously injured. The difficulty is
much regretted by the better class
Of colored people.
MEMPHIS, May 3O.-A special to
the Appeal from Decatur, Ala, to
night, says, last night a man named
John HON, late of Morgan county,
cut the throat of u niece of Tom.
Terrey, at CORTLAND, with n barlow
knife, because she refused to marry
him. He was put in Jail. At late
hour a mob took him out and hang
ed him.
The body of VIM Lake, former
ly deputy Sheriff, was found on
Poplar street boulevard, near Big
Spring, some two miles east of the
the city, at daylight this morning.
His head was beaten into Il shape
less mass, and the body stripped
almost nude. He sold some prop
erty, and left the city at 9 O'Clock
last night with about a hundred
and fifty dollars. 1t is supposed
that he was murdered by two ne
grocs, who were seen with him. The
detectives are at work trying to
work up the ease.

By recent disTateh from Washington,
which we publish below, a little light is
thrown upou the Cuban affairs, which will
enable the world to see the cause of the
lingering war il that unfortunate island:
NEW YORK, July 20.--A Washington
dispatch says that gentleman Just re
turned from Cuba, where he has resided
for the last nine months, states that he
does cot believe the Sraniards can hold

~ dcranged. If it were not fer the fac,
that the people of the United States are
made to contribute the largest proportion
OF the expenses OF Spanish rule in Cuba,
The war would have ended hng ago. There
a:e about one hundred mllons Of dollars
worth of sugar exported annually. About
eighty mill.oLs of this comes to the United
States. A few large houses in New York
and Philadelphia have monopolized the
sugar trade. These houses ADVANCE
large sums of money To sugar planters, and
their only security is n lien on the slaves
who cultivate the sugar plantations. They
have been making these advances for years,
and nave corse to nave a heavy interest di
rectly 10 slaves, ami are therefore real I, lave
holders. If emancipation was to be de-

they are doing all they can Co crush cut the

The Normal Schools.
Madison Democrat.

We have not yet learned all t. at was &C
complished BY Ike Regents Of the Normal
Schools at their session which has iu.t
closed. SO far We know their work has
been well and wisely done. Some changes
1t appears have been made in the courses
of study, but Of their exact nature we are
pot informed This much is current. In
stead ola three yesr's course us heretofore,
there is - be one Of four years. Including
Latin, upon the completion of which the
usual diploma will be granted, and another
OF two years, on completing which a Ger.
thcate viii be awarded, which after q
years successful teaching shall be equiva-
lent to state teachers certificate for five
years, to teach the subjects inci..,led within
the course. We have reason to believe
that the changes made are to move in the
right direction but whether they accom-.
pli-h all that was to lie hoped for, we are
not prepared to say.
1t has long seemed to us that our Nor
tnnk Schools should have o more integral
connection with the general school system
of the State, The magnificent fund at
their command should be utilized to the
best advantage possible. A great deal has
been said about the missing links in our
school system. The Normal schools, sit
uated as they are, and are to tie, in the diff
terent Congressional District of the State.
may be made to do very much ia supplying
these.
There ought to be perfect understani-
ing brtween the regular ly organized schools
of the State as to their courses Of study.
and these as far AS practicable should be
arranged, in the different, graditions, with
referepce to zach other. What We need
to do Is to unity the system. This Of
course, cannot be aocomp lished at once,
tut no opportunity should 20 unimproyed.
And We are glad to know that important
steps have already been taken in that direc
ton. Why not have one course Of study,
a. least, in the Normal schools, arranged
with reference to some course or certain
cour-es in the State University? This it
seems to rs, corid &c done withQnt depart-
ing unduly from the line OF EarElal work,
and would be q Direct cGnsriLution to the

Nor can students pass from the Normal
schools to the University at any time with
proper advantage, owing to the want of
