The Haytian Revolution.

The revolution in Hayti is gaining
ground. n battle has Just been fought,
in which the government troops ere
defeated with the loss of seven gen
erals. Whether these were killed in
battle or whether they We're captured
and afterwards but to death by the
revolutionists is not quite certain. 1t
IS, however, improbable that they were
captured, for the Haytian general is
rarely, ii ever, made prisoner, owing
to the promptness with which he runs
away as soon as he finds himself in
range of the enemy's fire.
According TO the best authorities,
the Haytian army is 6,S2S strong-on
paper. OF these 6,S2S men, 6,S25 are
generals, and when dressed in trous.
ers and cooked hats their appearance
is really formidable. AS the pay
masters department never pays out
any money, the Haytian generals re-
ceive no pay, ans hence many of them
leave the army in aquiet, unostentatious
way, without taking their names off
the active list. Thus it happens that
no man living ever knows the exact
strength of the Haytian army. At the
present time it is not probable that it
consists OF more than go effective gen
erals, and the loss of seven of these in
the recent sanguinary battle must
greatly discourage the government
Meanwhile the insurgents, flushed
AS far rs their complexion will per-
mit-with victory, are marching on
and destroying with ruthless hand the
whitewash pals and brushes of their
adyersaries. They will probably at
tack the capital with force of 500 field
marshals in the course of the next
month, and if they are victorious, as
they doubtless will be, Hayti will
have peace until the next regular rev.
olution, which viii due in the

THERE is'litsle doubt that the pres
ent Legislature will pass an act pro.
viding for railroad commission and
to prevent Determinations byrailroads.
Both parties are committed to such a
measure, though there are some differ
ences Of opinion as to the power,that
should be conferred upon the com
mission and the restrictions placed
upon the railroads. In Georgia and
Alabama there is such a law
and it gives general satisfaction
both to the people and the railroad
companies, A bill has been intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Edmund
son and in the House by Colonel Pat
tersOn providing for the appointment
ef a commission Of three, the presi
dent and secretary to receive a salary
of $4,000 each per annum and the
associate commissioner $500, and
they may have a clerk at salary Of
$500 per annum. They are to have
an Office at Nashville and be clothed
with very considerable powers, not
greater, however, it is understood,
than in Georgia, where railroads and
people seem to be alike enterprising
and prosperous.

Hon. Casey Young is looming up as
a candidate for Speaker Of the next
House Of Representatives. He is by
nature and experience pre- eminently
fitted for the position, and since there
are no longer any real sectional issues
and but few lingering prtjudices, it
would not initiate against him to say
that he comes from the South
Colonel Young is a man Of we'll ma.
tured views upon tho leading questions
Of the day and never goes of hastily, in
word or action. True to friends and
to principles, he is generous toward
political opponents and broadly ma
tiOnal in bis sentiments. Notwithstand
lug preference expressed many
months ago in favor of Mr.. Carlisle,
we would be proud to see Col. Young
elected Speaker. 1t would not only
crafty his personal and political
friends at home and all over the
country, but would be a proper recog-
nition of his ability and high services,
and would strengthen and unity the
national Democratic party. He has a
national reputation already, and his
election would be but a forecast OF
the grand Democratic victory that is
to be won in 1884.

PAVING THE PENALTY.
MeGlOin and Malone Executed
Z In New York this Morning.

NEW YORK, March 9.--McGloin
and Malone we're hanged at s:l2
o'clock this morning. Both men were
pronounced dead at 8:22 Piquale
Malone awoke at 5 o'clock this morn
ing and dressed with care. McGloin
had to be awakened half an hour later.
Both said they felt we'll. Last night
they expressed their intention of sit.
ting up all night. but shortly after
midnight they retired, and seemed
anxious to devote every moment of
the remaining hours to religious con.
versatpn and exercises with their
spiritual advisers. After they had
arisen Father Dunangert and An.
chetus went to their cells and Joined
them in prayer. The men then went
to the chapel in the prison to attend
mass, and to do so they had to pass
under the gallows. McGloin bore the
sight with firmness, but Malone burst
forth in tears and buried his face in
his handkerchief. A number of boys
and women prisoners gathered in the
chapel when mass was celebrated.
Both attended the devotions with the
greatest apparent piety, and par
took OF the holy sacrament. On their
return from the chapel to the cells
they had again to pass beneath the
gallows, but neither seemed to notice
it.
They spoke few words Of greeting
to two acquaintance and some of the
keepers on the way back to the cells,
and their demeanor was calm and col
lected. Shortly after this they par.
took OF breakfast with apparent relish,
and McGloin eonversed pleasantly
with his counsel. He thanked him
for his services and then babe him a
last farewell. The religious miuistra.
tons of the clergymen were then re-
stunned, and continued up to the time
when the Sheriff and under Sheriff
announced that the hour had come
for the reading Of the condemned
meme death warrants. Both men
bore the terrible ordeal without
iinching, and then the executioner
| appeared and fixed the fatal moses
about their necks and black caps on
their heads. The religious exhorta-
tiOns we're continued by the priests,
aud Joined in by both the condemned
men. Both men we're firm when
marched to the gallOws, on reaching
which, they fell on their knees and
prayed aloud with the priests. The
drop fell at 8:l2-three minutes after
the prisones entered the yard, Death
was instantaneous.

AK important and, as we believe, Q
bill to be commended, has been intro
duced in the Legislature providing fol
the inspection, analysis and test Of
commercial fertilizers. AS this is in
the interest Of agriculture, and there
Is no politics in it, the bill doubtless
will and should pass. Those who are
trying to improve their lands, and
this becomes more and more necessary
every year, are entitled to some pro
lection and encouragement. Very few
farmers can tell the diff,rcnce between
a genuine or valuable fertilizer aud
the spurious article. The trade i,
increasing every year, both in hom'
made and imported products. The
bill in question provides that all com.
mercial fertilizers, except such as art
sold for less than $40 per ton, offered
for sale must show by stamp. tag or
otherwise, in each package the chemi
cal analysis Of the same; place and
date OF manufacture, and that it comes
up to a certain prescribed standard
A given per cent OF ammonia, potash
and available phosphoric acid shall be
established and required by the Com.
missioner Of Agriculture. Where the
law ia disregarded or evaded penalty
il Fixed, and the contracts Ct
s,le are null and void in law.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
makes the rules regarding inspection
and may appoint four inspectors who
may charge 80 cents psr ton for their
services, but shall not be entitled to
more than one third Of the fee and in
no case over $500 per annum. The re.
mainder shall go to the expense Of an.
alysis aud Of tests and experiments to
be made at the agricultural station
attached to the University of Tennes,
see, at Knoxville. The inspectors are
required TO report monthly and other
details are carefully provided for.
The bill will no doubt pass and greatly
promote the interests of the farmers OF
the State. We commend it to the
favorable consideration Of the General
Assembly.

CURED this morning at 9 o'clock at

thaw out a can of dynamite used for
blasting purposes which had frozen,
and an explosion followed with a loud

badly injured that they will die.
Noble Gilkey was also hurt, but his
