CHAOTIC.

Attorney General PierreDont was
interviewed at Saratoga a few days
since by a Ne1g York Herald
commissioner. OF the result in Ohio
he really has no opinion; everything
is in so Uniformed, so chaotic a condi-
ton, that It is impossible to give an
opinion that would be Of any practical
value" On the third term question,
however, his language is plain: Gen.
Grant has been very outspoken to me
on this subject Of a third term, and I
assure you he does not dream of an
other term Of Office, and 1 am sure he
would dec}ineitifitR ere offered TO him.
As to who would be an available can
didate for President, or whether his
party had any CHARGE IN the race, he
gave no definite answer, merely remark
ing: Il don't think that the point has
as vet been reached when the public
mind crystallizes. The public mind
Is not settled at all" He thinks the
financial question viii be the all
decisive issue next year, and that the
Democrats are badly fooled If they re-
gard the Republican party as already
dead. ''The South Is behaving very
we'll indeed" the Attorney General
said, with a CLEAN Of satisfaction
tuinkling in his eye, "bu: it would be
impossible to predict even what the
South will ultimately do. In tone
of great candor)-You see, 1t is really
too early, and everything depends on
future contingencies. Nobody can say
ANYTHING definite until the autumn.
On a grave tone I shall regard the
Ohio election as a very important one,
as a very important one indeed"

SOME two weeks ago the English
High Court of Cbancery held its last
sitting, and ceased TO exist as an indie
pendent court. The Judicature Act Of
1873 thus came into full operation, and
the distinction between courts of law
and equity is completely abolished in
England. The Court Of Chancery Is
probably thousand years old. There
can be no question, at least, that it was
established on substantially the same
basis as it has since occupied by VII.
liam, the Conqueror.

Knoxville Chronicle.

huOAhllc
Every thoughtful man who witnessed
the spectacle of John Webb being haul
ed to the gallows, beset by an eager
multitUe Of men, women and children
of all ages, sexes, colOrs and cOndi-
tons, animated by no other motive
than IN unaccOuntable morbid cUriOs-
ity, must agree with us that the inhu-
euce of the day was evil and only evil.
The idea that that spectacle viii inspire
the low and vicious with a wholesome
fear of punishment that VIII IN the fu-
ture restrain them from committing
murder and other kindred crimes, is to
our mind, neutrality-suspicious.,
In fact it was a gala day with drums
beating, colors flying, accompanied
with general demonstrations more like
a 4th Of July celebration than an exc
cutiOn under the solemn forms of law.
Men were present with their wives
and children, who live more than a
days journey from Knoxville. They
viii lose three days IN coming and GO
ing, and their families are and have
been and viii continue to live almost
destitute of the necessities of life.
They Will complain of their hard lot in
life, and yet they find time to spend
three days to witness a miserable
wretch swing into eternity from the
gallOws.
Knoxville Press and Herald.
That "the thief to the gallows has a
greater following than the prince to the
grave" has rarely had better illustra
ton than in recent events IN East Ten
nessee. At Tazewell there were twice,
and at Rogersvllle thrice as many per-
sons to witness the execution Of Honey
cult and Berry, as attended the funeral
Of EXPIRE sident johnson; while the
Knoxville gathering that paid tribute
70 the ''last sad rites" of John Webb,
more than quadrupled the numbers at
the great statesman's funeral
ROgersvi,e Correspondence.
ANY one witnessing this crowd and
hearing the wild drunken yells, could
but feel that public executions fall far
short Of their legitimate results. They
are simply brutal and disgraceful to a
republic government. There is little
or 10 sOlemnity. There is no dep i'm
preston Of the fearful responsibility Of
dealing with an immortal soul. Public
executions only pander to the taste of
corrupt public mind
