Late intelligence from Matanzas, Cuba,
states the new crop of sugar and Inolasses

IaVOTitlsul. ~ ID tulb lndt has packed 1u-
rles and corrupted courts. 1t is this that
has furnished free passes from railroad
corporations to members of state legisla-
lures and procured enactments which rem
der vested interests and securities in said
corporations a fiction, and sacred trusts a
myth. 1t Is this that has taken the man
agement of business out of the hands of its
owner and passed it to the management of
courts of chancery, and instituted a sys-
tenn of interminable litigation runous to
all parties concerned
A good deal has been claimed tor the
doctrine that majority shall govern; and
on certain conditions and under proper
regulations, it is undoubtedly correct, o.
general rule But it would not be difficult
to name large class of cases in which the
majority rule Is not unmixed with evil.
For tho mere expression of the popular
wish or will nothing could be fairer. For
the establishing of public policy, for the de-
termining of means by which the popular
wish or will Is to be carried out, nothing
could be more unreliable and absurd.
Cases in point will occur to every one. The
state of Vermont could be carried by the
republican party to-day for resumption or
for initiation, according rs few party
leaders should dictate, and judged by the
logic of majorities, either way would be
right. BY the same process of reasoning
1t could be shown that If majority of the
people OF the United States should vote for
resumption or for initiation the result,
whatever 1t might BIO, would BIO the best
for the country. II is scarcely worth
while to discuss this subject, and yet more
Importance attaches 10 1t than II generally
receives. This ip-shod philosophy, and the
haphazard legislation, which is its natural
fruit, have been the curse Of the country
for many years past, as every moderately
informed man well knows; and the present
attempt to divide the country on the cur
rency question strikingly illustrates the
truth of this statement.

HANGMAN's DAY.

Last Friday, the 18th instant, was q
notable day in East Tennessee, and par,
ticularly in Knoxville. Three men were
executed for heinous ofenses. John
Webb. at Knoxville, for murder, robbery
and outrage; A~nnanias Honeycutt, at
TazewelL for the murder Of a man for
money, and w. N. Berry at Rogersyille,
for the murder of his wife. No doubt
existed as to their guilt. Their sentences
had all. been confirmed after a careful
hearing by the Supreme Court. The
Nashville and Knoxville papers Of Sat.
urday are full to OVERLOOKING with de-.
scriptions of the hangings and in

been thirty-fve years since q
judicial hanging took place at
Knoxville, and such a crowd probably
never assembled there for any purpose
as was seen Friday. The Knoxville pa

morbid, reckless curiosity as something

crowd was variously estimated at from
ten to fifteen thousand people. Many
came as far as a days journey by pri-
vate conveyance, thereby losing three
days when they should have been at

THE RIVER.

Since Saturday the river has risen
three.fourths Of an inch, which we pre-,
sumo is the last wave from the Wabash
that checked the decline at Cairo last
week for two days. This last effort Of
the Wabash, which stream alone caused
the river here to rise six inches since last
Monday morning, has demonstrated the
fact that the Wabash should be ranked
as one Of the dangerous tributaries Of
the Ohio, and should have n or two
signal stations at least on its banks,
which. with three or four stations on the
Tennessee, will enable the chief signal
officer to tell almost to an inch the prob
able rise here from any general rain.
The importance Of such information can
scarcely be computed. But if this service
is continued, and the officers are not too
often changed, the rise and fall Of the
river here will be foretold with a degree
Of almost absolute certainty. The errors
that occurred recently at Paducah and
Evansville should not impair confidence
in the Signal Service, as these occurred
by inexperienced or volunteer officers;
afew years experience Of the chief officer
will enable him to detect such errors.
The signal reports this morning show a
rapid decline at all important stations
above here, and give assurance that when
the decline does set in here it will be
rapid. Within a week we confidently
expect the river to be within its banks
from Cairo to Memphis. The decline
during the t~wenty-four hours ending at
So'clock yesterday was nine inches at
81. Louis and six inches at Cairo. No
report from Evansville or Paducah. The
officers of the steamer Frank Forest re-
port the banks caving rapidly at Mas
seys place, in the Devils Elbow. twenty
miles above here, with strong indications
that the cutoff of twenty-five miles will
be formed there. If made, the effect Of
the cutoff would be to raise the water
here, and lower it correspondingly above
for the same distance.

Lake City (Col.) Silver World
July II was a " red-hotter day in

mankind. On that day the wife Of S. I.

ped pick and drill and FASTENED TO town
as the news spread from mine to mine for

marks were made, after which the crowd
