thing, as it was very bad one.

This important case was decided in
the Supreme Court yesterday. The
opinion of the court is quite lecgtby
we understand. The gentleman who
has been furnishing us with a synopsis
of the OpiDions of the court COM
menced to make a synopsis. but the
written opinion was called for
aud he did not finish it.
We understand, however, that it
aff1rms the opinion of the court below,
and the effect of it is to make good all
the notes of the Ocoee Bank, the
officers, both as stockholders and
directors, being held liable. Quite a
number of these notes are held in the
country and the holders will be inter-
ested to know that their money is
good.

of an open polar sea. He says it
is impossible for it to exist in a land
which sees no sun six months in the
year and where the cold is so in

He thinks there may be water there,
but believes it to be choked with
immense quantities of floating ice.

Purvis & Co.'S Philadelphia mill at
Falkland, eight miles from here,
burned this morning. Loss, $4,000;

of the South American republics,

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-A dispatch
from Glasgow to the Standard says:
"The directors and other officials of
the City of Glasgow Bank were
this afternoon committed for trial
on charges OF fraud and theft.
They must now be tried within one
hundred and twenty days. The
friends of the prisoners are making
every exertion to secure their lib
Grafton. The relatives of John
Stewart, one of the directors, have
offered $500,000 as his bail note.
The acceptance of bail is not OBJ
lgatory in cases of theft. Several
gentlemen prominently connected
with the City of Glasgow Bank
have disappeared.
The Pail Mall Ga@ette's Rome
dispatch says it is reported that
Cardinal John Howard, a native of
England, and nominated in 1877,

not taken any stepts to comply with
articles 13 and II of the Berlin
treaty, relating to Christian Gov
ernor for Roumelia, and article Is,
respecting the arrangements for a
new judicial and financial admins
tration of that province. The alb
surdity Of this is established by the
we'll known fact that it is precisely
these three articles of the treaty in
which Russia refuses to recognize
the Porte's right to carry out dur
ing the nine months of Russian
occupation of the territory also
provided for by the treaty arrange
ment.
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Oct. 30.-The
Porte at the instance of France and
Italy, expresses a willingness to
make a slight rectifc alton of the
frontier in favor of Greece, but it
is thought here that Greece will re-
fuse any boundary other than that
indicated in the conference at Ber
lin. Meanwhile Turkey and Greece
continue hostile preparations.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Oct. 3O.-A special
from Petersburg, Va, says the
body of Davey Stit, a colored Rad
ical politician, of Greenville county,
was found in the road with his head
and body full of buckshot.
The station house at Fairfield
village in this State was burned
Tuesday and James Green, who
locked up for drunkoness, was
burned to death.
In the Porter case to-day the
counsel for the petitioner offered a
number of papers written by Gen.
Pope during the interval since the
court martial of 1868 and on file
in the War Department, among
them being protests against grant
ing a rehearing of Porter's case.
The Judge Advocate objected to
their reception, but the Board, after
consultation, permitted the petit
toner to submit all letters and pub
locations of Gen. Pope bearing
on the question. The Board,
he said, in it's capacity of
advisers of the President, would
receive anything that the President
would himself receive if he were
examining the case with view to
propriety of an exercise of pardon
ing power. Gen. Schofeld added
that the public utterances of an
officer of an army, whether written,
published or spoken, were just as
binding on him as his sworn state
ment, and the penalty of falsehood
in any class Of these utterances
should be the same. Whatever
Gen. Pope had written or published
would be of the same weight,
as his testimony at the court mar
tial, since the Board were unable to
get him to appear for examination.
After this there was long discus
sion as to the order of final argu
ment, with the decision that the
Board would hear the Porter's coun-
sci first, the Judge Advocate in
reply, and the conclusion by one of
the counsel.
To allow time for printing the
record and arguments the Board
adjourned to meet at West Point,
December 18th.

OHIO.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3O.-A special
says that four hundred pounds Of
nitro-glycerine in a magazine at
Petrolia, Penn, exploded last night,
killing the owner, S. 0. Gotham,
an employee, John Fowler, and dan
gerously wounding Henry French.
Mr.. Gotham was picked up dead
without a mark upon his body.
Fowler was blown to atoms, only a
finger being found and that two
hundred yards from the scene of
explosion.
Capt. Richard Blazer, during the
war leader of the famous Blazers
Scouts" which met and vanquished
Mosby's guerillars on one occasion,
died of yellow fever at Gallipolis,
Ohio, last evening. He had ex-
posed himself while attending his
brothers family in an infected dis
trict.
A special states that an unpleas-
ant rumor prevails that the Jeffer-
son nail works at SteubenviIle,
Ohio, the largest manufacturing
establishment in that region, en-
ploying 700 hands, is about to sus-
pend, at least for the winter. The
mill owners asked the nailers to
stand a reduction of 20 per cent,
claiming there is no market.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-There was
not shadow of foundation for the
pretended cable dispatch published
in the American opposition evening
papers of October 10th, making the
important statement that the Czar
had sent a letter to the Powers ask
ing them to unite in compelling
Turkey to execute her share of the
treaty of Berlin. The dispatch was
a pure fabrication-the product of a
wild and unintelligent imagination
only. The evidence of its fraud
is on its face. 1t asserts,

WE regret to hear of the death OF
Mayor Carlisle, of Chattanooga. He
was true to the trust reposed in him
by his felIow-citizens, and died at his

Mrs. Carlisle was one OF the first to
engage in the good work of raising
funds for the afflicted of other COM

months ago thus engaged, we little
thought that she would be called upon
so soon to mourn the loss of her dear

THE dry goods merchants of Mil
waukee, Wis, have raised $500. 600
with which to erect and run a cotton
manufacturing establishment at that
place. One has been run with profit
for several years at Janesville. If
these places, at their distance from the
cotton-growing region, can erect mills
and manufacture cotton with profit,
why can not the same be done in
Knoxville? Even a small mill would
keep many an idle hand from idlepess
and sin. The true way to aid the poor
Is to give them work. Knoxville,
with her cheap coal and excellent eli
mate, has advantages far ahead of
