willison-Cumberland Cause.-The

Willison-Cumberlan Cause.-The
court of appeals yesterday delivered its opinion
on the case from the Montgomery county cir
cult court in the celebrated case of Wilson
vs. the City Of Cumberland, in which, it will
be remembered, Mr.. Willison obtained YER
dict against the city. The court of appeals
reversed the finding OF the lower court, and, in
substance, we understand, declared that Mr..
Wilson had no case, although leave was
given him TO move for a new trial in case be
should have new evidence to offer.-MeDs of
the 2OM instant.
The basis that this reversal is founded upon
by the wiseacres of the Court of Appeals is
no doubt law the decision rendered 10 the
case mt the Court here by twelve substantial
citizens is a just one, excluding all technicali-
ties OF law. We believe the same decision would
be rendered by every twelve men empaneed
All the refuse OF the city is washed in the
mill-race of Mr.. Wilson, causing him much
expense and obstruction TO his business -
This was the substance of the evidence in
Cont here. The Court OF Appeals has said
according the chartered rights of the corpora
ton man living in that vicinity has no
redress when thus imposed upon.

TRANSPORT ON THE MISSISSIPPI
AND IT'S IMPROVEMENT

From the Ango.American Times of London.
One OF the great schemes connected with
the freight business Of the United States will
presently be placed before the British public
by Mr.. Charles p. Choutcau, now on his
way from st. Louis, where he is u leading
citizen. For some time Mr.. Chouteau has
been preparing for his mission, and he comes
with repository Of facts connected with the
productions and trade of the Mississippi
valley, and Of the facilities offered by its
vast water courses, These he has arranged
and condensed in an illustrated pamphlet.
His first point is that the means now EN-.
ploycd are obsolete, being both costly and
inadequate. All are aware that the river
system of the Mississippi valley is an mex.
haustible power Of communication supplied
by nature, only awaiting utilization as the
science of the day dictates. Everything is
ready but the capital to obtain which is the
object Mr.. Chouteau has in view. =
Everything that can suggest itself to the
mind in Europe, seems to have passed I'M
der the notice Of Mr.. Chouteau in St.
Louis. He has to show to the dcnizens of
a city who have but m imperfect idea of
the magnitude of the river system of the
Mississippi, what it MEANS what arc the ca.
pacities for grain-growng of the country
drained by these water courses, what the
means now employed to utilize the rivers
afford, and thus establish .hc gain to be de-
rived from the improvements he suggests.
He has photographs of coal towboa, with
22 bargcs; and grain towboat with three
barges taken while under way, which
group the facts, so as to bring them at once
under the cyes--.thc character Of the present
boats and barges, and the naviNtion. An.
other subject is, the places of construction.
There are points along the river suited in
no ordinary way to boat building; places

tional -Greenback- Labor Club were being
enrolled, at the courthouse on "Wednesday
last, Mr.. J. II. Metcalf, in very loud aud
determined voice, announced that the Ma
tionals did not expect nor want any bond
holder or national banker to become men,
Der the club. And, indeed, this seems to
be the spirit of the National party--hatretl
ofeyery citizen who has invested his money
in banks or bonds. Mr.. Metcalf evidently
does not understand his own party, and, in
deed, his party does not conform its prac-
tice to its precepts. AT Springfield, some
time ago, the National party of Illinois, put
into nomination for state treasurer the kind
of n man the Nationals delight in denounc-
ing. They nominated (preferring him to
such a man as Kewanee SMITH Gen. Bates,
a gentleman who made his money by office
holding, and whoi is, or has been, both bond
holder and national banker. More than this.
1t was Gen. Bates, who, at the head of
twelve hundred soldiers, crushed out the
oppressed laboring men, who were engaged
in a strike at East st. Louis last July. We
do not wish to disparage Gen. Bates. On
the contrary, we do not hesitate to say he is
believer in the greenback theory notwith-
standing his national bank and bondhold-
ing faults, and that he is friend Of the la
boring man Notwithstanding he used the
bayonet to crush laborers protesting by a
strike against the hardships of their lot.
But we do mean to say that Mr.. Metcalf,
and the other National enthusiasts, should
not, while speaking of bondholders and ma
tional bankers, use the tone and language
of men who hate all other men who have
been more fortunate than they in getting
into the money-making business of clipping
coupons and pocketing bank dividends. Mr..
Metcalf, if he had surplus dollars, would
not hesitate to put them into government
bonds or national bank stocks, if he could
increase his wealth by doing so. He would,
if he were one of them, undoubtedly also
fight for all the rights bondholder or ma
tional banker could honestly claim, and he
would not hesitate to very promptly resent
the insult, if some one, not bondholder or
a banker, should denounce him as rascal
and a robber of the people. We would get
rid of our bondholders and national bankers
as speedily as possible, but we do not there
fore believe them to be and denounce them
as public robbers.

OK the eve of the Carbondale convention
certain Cairo Republicans dissatisfied with
Capt. Thomas, startedthe charge that he, as a
lawyer, collected money fora client and used
that money for his own purposes, refusing
to pay it until he became candidate for
Office, and then only under threat of ex-
posure. This was the club which was to be
used at Carbonate to break Thomas back
bone. To meet it Capt. Thomas, it was
said, had in his possession documents to
disprove it. Once on the ground the Cairo
Republicans lost nerve, smothered their
charges, and allowed Thomas walk over.
The charge did not die. For prudential rea-
sons it was allowed to slumber. Was the
charge started by Republicans of Cairo

WE learn from the Vicksburg Herald,
that, with the exception of a few favored
localities in Mississippi and Louisiana, the
crops are very seriously injured by the wet
weather. "Cotton planters claim" says the
Herald, "that nothing like the weather that
we had in June, and are having now, was
ever experienced in this latitude before
The weather has been wet and unfavorable
to growing crops for over six weeks. The
heavy rains have overlooked the valleys;
but worse than that, they have so forced
the growth of weeds and grass that the
whole crop has been seriously damaged,
and large portion of planted land has
been abandoned. Then the excessive
moisture in the earth has caused cotton to
grow so fast that there is much less fruit
on the stalk than there should be. In many
instances corn locks as if it had suffered
from drouth, and is totally ruined We
hear of few planters who claim that they
will make over half a crop of corn and cot.
ton, and some say they will fail almost
wholly. Altogether the outlook is gloomy
enough"
