Mob Law.

The people of Columbia made
asses of themselves by riating around
burning the Governcx and Supreme
Court in eftigy. and making fools Of
themselves generally. If they had
been in time, the mob would have
taken Thomson from the sheriff,
and have hung him. We commend
Gov. Porter for his manly discharge
of what he believed to be right. and
the Maury people are mistaken in
their man il they think they can
'.bnll doze" him. We have a Gov
ernor who won't be bullied by any
mob, big or little.
We are mortified that the people.
of such u county as Maury could
behave as they have. In time they
will feel ashamed of their rashness,
and contempt of law, and until they
reform. they viii have no right TO
throw witch burning up to the yam.

The final decree in the q. S. Court at
Salt Lake City, in the case of Ann Eliza
Young, who sued for a divorce from
Brigham Young and for support as adj
vorced wife, is one that is well founded
in law, in equity and in good morals.
Judge Sohaeffer decides that she was
never lawfully married to Brigham
Young, as he was already married, and
that the marriage being polygamous was
null and void. Furthermore, that she
had no claim upon him for maintenance
and only for service for which she has
already been more than fully cumpensat-
ed by money paid by order of the courts
since their separation. The simple
ground OF the decision, is, that when a
woman marFies man, knowing that he
has already a number of wives, she does
so at her own peril a most righteous de-
cision

THE appointment of Judge John E.
King is a shrewd Administration blow
at the Packard Supreme Court, which is
giving trouble by persisting in existence.
1t is trading, to be sure; but this traffic
is all the rage. Any of these fellows
viii sell out, and it is regarded in order
to pay when they are wanted for any
purpose. 1t is refreshing, too, to be
told that King viii be expected by the
Administration to give some minor Off
ces to Kenner and Cassenave, and some
of the knaves who are Madison Wells
friends. In older and better days we
have been told partisan service was not
expected of officials; Then why reward
it, and put premium on it.

The Tennessee Legislature


Inquiries are frequent in regard to an
extra session of the Legislature. We
have no information on the subject,
positive or problematical. We think,
however, we may say, without incur
ring much risk and for the information
of all who feel an interest in the matter,
that whenever Gov. Porter becomes
satisfied the public welfare will be best
promoted by an extra session, he will
not hesitate moment about calling the
members of the two houses together. Of
this all may rest assured. In the mean
while if the people of the different coun-
ties would assemble in their primary ca
pacity and give expression to some uni
form sentiment on the State debt, it
would soon settle the question of an ex-
ira session; but as long as one county
says it is in favor of accepting the bond
holders proposition of sixty cents to the
dollar; another, that it won't pay more
than the present market value of the
bonds; and still another works itself
down to Col Savage's ultima rule of
thirty three and third cents, no good
would come of an extra session, but on
ly confusion worse confounded. And
we are confident that under such cir
eumStances the Governor will never
call one.-AhtenS Post

TURKO-RUSSIAN WAR.
Reported Alliance Of Russia and

Reported Alliance of Russia and
Roumanfa Confirmed.
LONDON. May 4.-Turkey has re.
ceiyed positive assurance from Count
Andrassy. of Austria. of pacific in
stentiens.
The Porte has issued a circular
declaring that Roumania, by her
convention with Russia, is betraying
the interests of the country and the
confidence of the Sultan's Govern
Inent. The Porte, heneeforward,
considers Roumania as in the power
of the enemy. and, therefore, all
acts issuing during the Russian oc-
cupation are in usurpation of the
Sultan's authority
The Roumanians have taken, mill
tary possession of Kalafat. :. The
garrison consists of 5000 men and
40 Krupp guns.
About fifty shots were exchanged
between 1brail and Turkish gun
boat, 1t was only reconnaissance
on the part of the Turks.
The Russians will certainly bridge
the Danube near the mouth of the
Pruth, and at Tuna. nearly opposite
Nikapolis. A torpedo depot has
been established at the mouth of the
Pruth. The torpedo corps consists
of 600 engineers and sailors.
The Turks have determined to
eyacuate Dabrudscha. The Turks
are slowly falling back on the line
obedience adopted by the council of
war. The reported alliance between
Russia and Roumania is confirmed
from all sides. Iskender Khan,
nephew of the Amor of AfgEanist4n,
started for Constantinople from Lou
don last night 10 offer his services to
the Sultan.
A special dispatch from Berlin
says the Turkish circular dated May
I'd, was presented to this Govern
ment yesterday,in reference to the
Russo-Ronmanian Convention. The
Porte protests against the Conven-
tion as an illegal act of principal
ty facilitating invasion, and further
more declares that the Premier au-
thorizes Roumanla TO be in the pow
er Of a hostile, usurping government.

Dedication of the New Church
at Economy.


Ne event of the kind has, for years, so
stirred Morristown from centre to cir
eumference as the dedication of thenew
church at Economy on Sunday last.
The old, the young, the black, the
white, the short and long were all there,
Some came on foot, some on horseback,
and others in buggies, carriages, wag-
ons, &c. The congregation assembled
in the grove by 103 O'Clock, numbering
not less than seven or eight hundred.
We never, any where, saw a better be-
haved, or more attentive audience.
Those eminent divines, DIR. Sullins,
President of Sullins Female College,
Bristol, and DR., N. g, Taylor, of Carter
county, delivered able sermons in the
grove to the delight and edifcation of
of the vast o0neourse of interested au-
ditors. We trust that much good was
accomplished, and hope that our people
may frequently enjoy the privilege of
listening to these eloquent East Tennes-
scans. About two hundred dollars were
contributed by the audience for the
liquidation. of the debt against the
church. The house, neat substantial,
well-fnished frame building; an orna-
ment to the neighborhood; situated in a
beautiful grove of oaks, was solemnly
set apart for the worship of Almighty
God. The good citizens of the COM
munity dispensed genine East Tennes-
see hospitality on the occasion, and none
went away necessarily empty. The day
SO pleasantly and, we trust, proftably
spent by those who participated in the.
solemn services, viii long be remember
ed as green oasis in the avid desert of
every day life.

ssThe European war is affecting other
branches of trade besides that OF bread

progress for two hundred thousand

"HoW have the rumors of war in
Europe affected the markets in.
breadstnffs in this country 7" well
that is d broad question that the
war news has influenced an advance
is beyond question. Within the
past month wheat has advanced fifty
cents on the. bashef, corn fourteen
cents bushel, and oats ten cents
bushel. But there are other causes
than the war that influence The mar
ket. To-day the market is feyerish,
and iong-headed men think that the
advance has been too rapid. True.
we have large orders from Europe,
but the Liverpool market has been
in sympathy with ours. Wheat
there has advanced five shillings per
quarter"
This was said yesterday by mem
Der of the Produce Exchange. he
continued:
The visible supply of wheat is
small /; the crop of winter wheat in
the ground promises well, but no one
can tell how it will turn out. AS
regards corn, the supply has been
greater than the demand, In seven
years the price of this produce has
not been SO low as it was a month
ago. 1t was really below its actual
value. The war rnmors have brought
about an advance, but not more than
corn is really worth. Wheat and
corn are the chief articles of export
in breadstuf; the advance in oats is
purely sympathetic. While there is
feyerish feeling in Change, there
is no doubt that high prices for
grain will be maintained"
