THE TRUSTEES of Cornell University have
nailed President White to his desk by re-
quiring pledge that he will not accept po-
litical Office for four years. This might
serve as precedent, and similar restrictions
would tend to little wholesome steadiness

WE UNDERSTAND that Col. Thomas Ochil-
tree, of Texas, designs to bring suit against
the Sunday Capital for defamation. in that
the said Sunday Capital, with malice pre-
pense, published an interview with him ON
the subject of race horses, and represented
him as falling into several grieyous blum
ders about the pedigrees and records of GER
tain famous steeds; all of which has
brought him, the said Ochiltree, into in
finite ridicule and contempt, particularly
in the estimation of the Hon. Beck, of Ken
lucky, the Hon. Blackburn, Col. Richard
Wintersmith and other eminent and iufal-
lible oracles of the turf Col Ochiltree
maintains that having retired from politics
he is no longer proper subject of ami
madyersion and misrepresentation by the
press. He holds that so long as q man re-
mains in public life, it is perfect ly legiti-
mate for newspapers to misrcpresent and
malign him but that private gentleman
Of leisure and Of means, devoting his time
and talents to the fascinating affairs Of the
turf, is entitled to protection.
We agree with the gallant Colonel. The
Capital caused him to accuse several
eminent equine personages of questionable
conduct, whereat the friends Of the injured
animals waxed wrath and visited their
wrath upon the roseate head of Colonel
Ochiltree with great violence.
We fully coincide with the Colonel that
II is case requiring satisfaction.

Quick Time.

At ten o'clock this morning, St.
Louis papers of yesterday were dcliv-
cred here by the . steamer Charles
Morgan. This is several hours ahead
of the ordinary mail delivery. The
papers went to Cairo Dy rail, and the
steamer brought them through in sew
enteen hours, including four hours
detention by fog last night. The
Morgan had full cargo, her guards
touching the water as she landed here,
and also had forty or more passengers.
A lot of several hundred bales of cot
ton was offered for the south here, but
only twenty-three bales were added,
and the steamer then pushed on toward
the gulf. While the inspecting Off
GERS Of the government are investiga-
ting the situation, it might be well to
suggest line of fast mail steamers
from Cairo to this city, or or little
more rapid movement and delivery of
the st. Louis and other northwestern
mails reaching us by rail. The Nor
gan would be a capital craft to put on
fast mail route.

DIABOLICAL WORK.
or n Crazy Mother, who Killed
Her Five Children.

ST. LOUIS, April 19.-Additional
particulars in regard to the killing of
her five children by Mrs. Mutt, near
Camden, Ark, reported briefly last
night, are that the frenzied woman
called her Oldest child, boy twelve
years old, from field where he was
plowing, knocked him on the. head,
and threw him into the well, where
she had previously thrown her
four other children. Finding that
one of the children was not drowned,
but was clinging to the side of the
well, she descended and tore away its
grasp, and thrust it down into the
water, thus completing her diabolical
work.

LONDON, April 19.-Parnell, in an
address at Glasgow said the land bill
would not provide the slightest pro-
lection for small tenants, but would
rather tend toward their destruction.
Shortly after reassembling parliament,
he intended to present for signature
to the members a petition praying the
queen to release Davitt.
LONDON, April 19.-Beaconsfeld
took nourishment up to half-past one
o'clock. About two he became coma
tose, breathing with much difficulty.
Drs. Kidd and Bruce at once applied
the usual restoratives, but for the first
time since his illness they failed to
produce the desired effect, and it be-
came evident that death was nigh.
Eminent Lcrd Darlington, DR.. Quain
and Sir Philip Rose were hastily sum-
moned. Five minutes before he
expired his breathing became slow
and gentle and his face very placid.
The hearts action and pulse contin-
ued few minutes after the breathing
ceased to be apparent. Friends and
nurses continued around the bed a
few minutes after the pulse ceased, as
the end was SO quiet it was difficult to
realize he was dead.
The evening editions Of the Stan
dard and Globe appear in mourning.
The executors of BeacOnsfeld's will
are Sir Nathaniel Rothschild and
Sir Philip Rose,
Earl Beaconsfeld will be buried by
the side of his wife in the graveyard
of the parish church of Hugbendon
manor; atleastitisunderstoOd this was
his earnest wish and direction. The
queen and the people would no doubt
be glad to honor him with grave in
Westminster Abbey, but it is proba-
BILE his own wishes will be respected.

An Insane Asylum Partly De-
atrOYed by Fire.

CAIRO, April 19.-At / o'clock this
morning Mayor Thistlewood received
telegram announcing that the north
wing Of the southern insane asylum at
Anna was burning and asking the as
Sistance of the Cairo fire department.
Superintendent Beck, of the Illinois
Central railroad, provided free trans
portation and a special train, and one
hand and one steam fire engine were
sent from here. The latest intelli
gence is to the effect that the north
wing was consumed, but the fire is
thought to be under control. 1t is
feared that two or three patients were
burned.
ANNA, ILL, April ia FIRE
broke out in the bath room on the
fourth floor of the north wing of the
Illinois southern hospital for the in
sane, located at this place, at 11:3O
o'clock last night. After getting the
patients out an effort was made to stay
the progress of the fire, but as the
building had Mansard roof, it was
not until the center of the
building was reached that, by
the almost superhuman efforts Of the
employees and citizens, the FIRE was
mastered. Three patients were dis
covered in a room in the second story
of the north wing entirely surrounded
by fire. The throng upon the ground
witnessed their frantic efforts to burst
through the grated windows with
breathlcss excitement. Finally lad
der was procured and placed near the
window of the room, and although
the flames coiled around the ladder,
three men started up the ladder but
were forced by the heat to retreat.
One gallant fellow named Grace, ran
up the ladder, thrust an ak irto the
window, and commanded a colored
patient named Nelson, to cut his way
out. lie simply threw the ak away.
Again it was given him, and the
crowd below, as with one voice,
yelled to him to cut the grating loose.
This time he did it and escaped. Mr..
Grace again showed his courage by
rcascending the ladder aud going into
the room, now ablazs and with the
walls trembling in every direction, and
after hand to-hand struggle with
patien! named Mcclellan, who was
nearly dead from heat, but desperately
determined to stay in his room, Grace
forced him headlong through the win
dow, and parties outside caught him.
Mr.. Grace inhaled heat and suffered
intensely afterwards, butts not in dan
ger. A patient from Monroe county,
named N. Ferkle was burned to
death. These patients were all
taken from their cells, but in some
way wandered back. Three fire en-
gines from Cairo have arrived and are
working on the FIRE. The loss is es-
,timated at S25O,OOO. Only the pa
tient Ferkle is missing.

WASHINGTON, April l7.-Congress-
man Speer, of Georgia, says that the
contest for the Georgia marshalship is
finally settled, and that the president
will nominate Gen. Longstreet as soon
as he returns from Turkey. In this
instance the struggle for marshalship
has been between native republican
and the carpet.bag element, and the
natives have triumphed. Gen. Long
streets opponent was H. j., Kimbail,
Of Atlanta. He is a native Of Maine,
who settled in Atlanta several years
ago. He came within a few votes of
being elected mayor of Atlanta OF the
last election. 1t is not known who
will be Gen. Longstreets successor as
minister to Turkey, but there is some
talk Of sending Horace Maynard back
