UNEASY ENGLAND.
THE AUTHORITIES CONVINCED OF DAN
GER MENACING THE QUEEN.

GER MENACING THE QUEEN.
LONDON, April 24.-The excite
ment and tifculties Arising out of
the operations of the hastily passed
explosives bill can scarcely be ex-
aggerated, and they are enhanced
by the temper Of the people, who,
without any sympathy for the
dynamite plotters, aid in keeping
up the excitement, and actively
worry the police with any possible
hoax that may suggest itself. This
is shown by several so called dyna-
mite plots that have kept the whole
police sections employed for days
before it could be positively said
they were hoaxed. The sentries
have not only been doubled about
Windsor Palace, where the queen
now is but the principal entrances
and the most favored resorts of tour
lists and other visitors are now in
accessible to the public. The Round
Tower, from which the finest view
of the park and castle grounds could
be had, is shut against it's hundreds
of daily visitors, and the entrances
to the most passage in the quad
rangle are shut. Additional SEN
tries yesterday patrolled the tower
battlements, which have usually
been an open promenade. There
is no question but that the authori-
ties are thoroughly convinced that
some more or less defined danger
menaces the castle or its inmates.
In the house of commons this
afternoon Mr.. Gladstone, replying
to the question of Mr., Bourke as to
whether any steps had been taken
at Washington relative to conspir-
acies organized in America against
England, said he did not think it in
accordance with public interest to
make any statement touching com
munications with the United States
Government on the subject of the
Outra0es.

We see from the Central Star That
oursister county of SullisanA II. &C
lively agitating the subject of
Macadamized road from Kingsport
to Bristol. And we are glad to see
that our long time friend, Col. Geo.
r. Mcclellan is, as usual, on the
right side OF the question, lending
the weight ofhis influence and zig
orous pen in favor Of the enterprise,
And this brings to our mind to
write an article which we have long
intended to write. q F.
h What about Maeadam roads in
Hamblen and adjoining counties2
In certain directions they are need
ed, and must, and will in time, be
built. In the past, very much
money has in a measure been thrown
away upon roads of this character,
growing out of the unforeseen fact
that railroads have afterwards been
built along side Of them, suppressed
ing in a great measure their useful
ness. Nor would we, now, advise
the building of such roads along
railroads or contemplated railroads.
But so far ut least as Hanblen and
some adjoining counties are concern
ed, the railroad system has about
chrystalized. SO that at glance it
can be seen where it is safe to invest
money in turnpikes. gag .. ..r
To illustrate our meaning: II is
not expected by any one that a rail-
road will ever be built from Morris
town to Rutledge, or on a line ap-
proximatiBg that line So that to
reach depot the people along this
line viii always use common road.
A turnpike over such a line would
be Il permanent benefit to every
farmer on the line, to every business
man both on the line and at the ter
mini-would double the value of all
tia farms over an area Of two or
three miles on either side the line
would in a few years double the
number of farmers in, the region af-
fected and, moreover, stock in such
an enterprise, whether taken by the
counties or by private persons
would always pay a dividend And
so of number of other lines we
could point out. Now the case goes
without argument that such roads
are needed. That it is for the pub
lie, as well as for private good that
they be built But how? The an
cient Greeks, we believe, had an
adage to the effect that, .'The gods
help those who. help themselves.
The laws are ample to enable the
counties to take the initiative and
build the roads. The law is ample
10 enable the people interested, to
form stock companies, and build
roads and own them. Investment
in this sort of enterprise, judiciOus.
ly made, will pay. Who will start
the ball2

TIE SHORT CUT THEORY RX-
PLODED.


A startling theory has been re-
Gently advanced, TO the discomfort
of great number materially inter
ested, that the Mississippi river
would seek new outlet to the Cult
by the way of the Atchafalaya, and
that the Mississippi above the
mouth of Red river would adjust it
self to the relief that would follow
the short cut 10 the Gulfand change
it's channel between Cairo and the
mouth of Red river by cutting
across bends so as 70 make it possi-
BILE to leave Memphis, Vieksburg,
and other river towns, inland Con-
spicuous among this school of phi
lOsOphers has been Capt. C.P Hun
tingtOn, of Greeneville, Miss, who
has for many years made study
of the Mississippi river. He visited
Washington last week, the object of
his visit being to consult the Chinese
minister as to the effect of the
change in the Hang Wo, river
taking it's course through. very
much the same kind of soil drain
ed by the Mississippi Until 1851
the Hang Wo had for 1000 years
emptied into the Yellow Sea. In
that year the river took q more di
rect course, shortening its outlet by
$50 miles. Mr.. Huntington called
on the Chinese minister and in re-
Spouse to the inquiry whether the
Hang We, above the point where
it's new outlet begins, had changed
ITS course, was informed that il
had not; that the channel above re-
NAMED the same rs it had been for
5000 years, except that it had been
very sensibly deepened, and that
the overflow from freshets had been
less frequent aud destructive. Mr..
Huntington's theory was therefore
exploded. Had it been confirmed
there is little doubt that the up
river cities on the Mississippi river
would have joined with New Orleans
in demanding the plugging up OF
the Atchaialaya. As it is, the more
northern river towns, aud especial
ly Memphis, would be largely bene-
fted by the accomplishment of the
Atchafalayan short cut to the Gulf.

New York Herald.
Dwight S. Lathrop, clerk in the
Communication ticket Office of the
Central railroad of New Jersey
disappeared on Saturday Aug. 10
of last year. he said he was going
on a vacation trip 1t was discov-
cred on the first Of the succeeding
month, when the treasurer received
the usual statement from the COM
lpany's bank, that there was a de-
ficiency of $4,000 in the amount
which the company should have
had to its credit. Young Lathrop
was not suspected of any connection
with this discrepancy until his con-
tinued absence awakened alarm.
He was a nephew of the late Judge
Lathrop, first receiver of the COM
pany, who had placed him in Office,
and his honesty was never question
ed. Investigation, however, soon
disclosed the fact that Lathrop, in
the absence of the clerk who usually
made the deposits, had distracted,
one day in August, $4,000 in gold
from the money which was to be
sent to the bank Previous embez-
Elements by Lathrop of compare
lively small sums brought the total
amount of his stealings up to nearly
$4,000. The young mans father
| Henry S. Lathrop, of Northampton
/ Mass, a we'll known and highly
esteemed gentleman, was greatly
distressed by his sons disgrace, and
would have been willing TO pay the
amount lost, but it was found that 8
sacrifice of his entire property woulc
have been insufficient to replace 1t
The loss fell heavily upon the com
panysf for the clerk was not under
bonds. .e-r. FfFfug4.r
The defaulter is thirty years ole
and unmarried. During the two
years of his employment by the
railroad company he led fast life
was, it is alleged, addicted to gam
bling, and it was known even to hi
intimate friends that he was spend
ing more than the $1,000 yeal
which his salary amounted to. L
was believed at the time of Lathrop'I
flight that he had gone to Europe
1t appears, however, that he diC
not leave the country. News wa
received in this city yesterday tina
Lathrop had been arrested at Bis
Creek, Tenn, by one of Pinkertoni
/ detectives. The officer and hi
prisoner are expected in this cit,
on the Goth. The prisoner is said Il
be broken down in health and t.
have squandered all the money
which he took from his employers

Representative Pettibohe, of Ten

look after the pardon of one of his
constituents, recently sentenced to

the application made by him, and
took occasion to express himself in
vigorous terms of the system of eva

dancing from the Department Of

not see any reasonable cause for
