THE SUPREME COURT.

A puzzling question is just now
presenting itself TO the Legislature,
the lawyers, the judges and the peo-
pie of Tennessee in this shape
What is to be done with the thou
sands Of cases on the dockets of the
Supreme Court. It is estimated that
at the time the next term COM
mences at Nashville, there will be
two Thousand cases on that docket
The one at Jackson is equally as
busy, while the Knoxville docket is
not far behind. There are already
more cases before the court than
that tribunal could dispose of in five
years at steady work. But what is
to be done about it? That is the
question. The Constitution declares
that justice shall be done ''without
sale, denial or delay" Among all
the lawyers in the Legislature is
there not one that can suggest some
plan of meeting the popular demand
in this respect? Or are the lawyers
all interested in maintaining the
deadlock? We but express the
general feeling upon the subject
when we say that if the present
General Assembly will enact law
by which justice between litigants,
as well as in criminal cases, can be
secured without sale, denial or
delay" it will be remembered for
that reform long after every law of
its creation shall have been repeal
ed or forgotten.
1t would be better for US to have
courts to hold sessions continuously
until the business on hand IS dis
posed of than for the parties inter
ested in the suits to suffer as they
now are from delay. The expenses
will be paid by the Iitigants. except
the salaries of the extra judges.

The Grand Commission has COM
pleted its work. r. Il. Hayes, Of
Ohio, has been pronounced President
of-the United States for four years
from the fourth day Of March, 1877.
As to how this result has been
brought about the whole people of
the country know and understand.
We need not allude to it now. The
Democratic party and the people
have agreed to submit to the usapa-
ton rather than plunge into civil
war.
We will make no captions, fretfnl
opposition to the Administration Of
the new President. Looking for
nothing good we still hope it will be
an improvement upon what we have
been enduring for the last eight
years.
The people are tired of strife.
They long for peace, quietuess and
prosperity. IF Mr.. Hayes viii only
be the President of the whole Peo-
pie and not the head ola selfish, heart
less, corrupt party if he will only
free himself from the contrO. Of
professional politicians and rise to
the dignity of statesman and pat
riot; if he will leave the people OF
the South entirely free to manage
their own State affairs in their own
way, then indeed we may expect
prosperity to return to tie whole
Union.
Four years in the lifetime of a
Nation is but a span. A weak,
corrupt or bad Administration for
that length of time may cripple the
the progress of the people some
what, but it can do no permanent
harm. So upon the whole we are
not at all discouraged, or respondent.
Our reliance is upon the people, in
whom we have implicit faith. All
will DE well in the end.

U A newspaper correspondent
styling himself Eli Perkins. has been
smelling around Hayes lately, and
says: Some of Governor Hayes
peculiarities are these: Perfect men
tai tranquility, perfect physical
health, and a clear conscience. He
is modest, courteous, absolutely tenn
perate. sympathetic as a child, bat
as firm as the rocks of Gibralta when
justice tells him the time has come
to say yes or no. Religiously,
Governor Hayes is Methodist. but
unlike his pious wife, he is not a
commitment. He believes in, and
attends regularly, the Methodist
Church. He does not smoke, cant
play cards, and never owned a fast
horse never was a member of q Re
turning Board, nor never lived in
Brooklyn. [ thought, as left Gov
ernor Hayes. that this is the man
who viii surely finish the work be-
gun by Lincoln-this is the man
who will bring peace to struggling
republic.

NEW YORK, March IA Herafd
dispatch from Charleston, dated yes

miles from this place, today, at a
place known as the blue Stone

days ago store was robbed in Wat
erboro, Colleton county, and as the
thieves were identified, warrants of
arrest were issued by trial justice,
who has recently been appointed by
Hampton. Three of the negroes
were arrested, but the fourth resist

crowd of his companions around him.
said he did not recognize a Hamn-

tracks before he would submit to
arrest under the warrant. The JUS.
tlce, upon the return of his consta-
BILE with the prisoner under the or
der of the sheriff Of the county, sum-
moned a posse of ten white and
black men, and deputized them
to make the arrest. The posse pro-
ceeded to The ''Blue Store" about
eight miles from Green Pond, where
they found the thief. surrounded by
mob of over 100 negros, all armed
who swore that he should not be
arrested. The posse, numbering
only 10, attempted to make the ar
rest, but were completely surround
ed, and with difficulty succeeded in
making their escape after first re-
ceiving a volley fom the mob. No
one was seriously hurt. The
Sheriff after consultation with Hamp-
ton, has sent out couriers in every
direction, and 1000 men, whites
and blacks, have been organized to
meet at the Blue Stone" tomorrow
morning, fully armed and prepared
to make the arrest, not only of the
thief, but of al the parties concerned
in firing upon the magistrates posse
The negroes have massed in large
numbers, all armed, in the same
vicinity, and swear that the thief
shall not be captured

HAYES.
A Foreign Opinion that is not
Complimentary to his Fraudu-
loncV

LONDON, Mach 3.-The London Times
this morning praises the Democratic
leaders for their moderation, and thinks
their conduct will secure the sympathy
of the law-abiding American people, who
are we'll able to appreciate moderation
and respect for Constitutional restraints,
among public men.
"Mr Hayes election, F." says the Tines,
cannot excite genuine enthusiasm, ex-
cept in those who regard politics as
gambling and tricky game. 1t may be
viewed with moderate satisfaction as an
escape from the worse results of a pro-
longation of the excitement or a conflict
of titles, but Mr.. Hayes has not, unfor-
tunately, the moral weight necessary to
ballast a Republican Administration
weighed as his must be- With the best
intentions he will probably be unable to
carry into many of the pledges of his
letter to the Cincinnati Convention.
We trust our anticipations are wrong
aud that Mr.. Hayes may show more I'M
expected force of character, and conquer
sne syrnpathies of the nation by an hon
est, fearless reform policy

BNGLAND'S NEW STEEL FLEET.
England has taken an advanced
step in improved war vessels. which

journal that all of them win be

which will consist of a single gun

measurement being 2,377 tons, and
their engines of $500 horsepower.
Though principally designed for for
eign service, these steel corvettes
will De quite capable of taking an
active part in any naval battle, each
of them armed with a couple of
seven-inch guns and a dozen sixty
four Founders. The powerful en-
gines will moreover permit them to
use discretion in any engagement,so
that they may fight or run away,
whichever they choose; while the
complement of men carried will rem
der them also of universal value in
coast warfare, where an action has
sometimes to be followed up by a
landing party. In this respect
the two larger ships, the Iris and
Mercury. will even surpass the fine

of not less than twenty miles an

" four thousand tons, they will car
~ nothing heavier than six-four
Founders, of which there will be ten
on board. Their engines, on the
other hand, will be seven thousand
