gentleman who spent some time
here last summer, impressing him
self gforcibly and favorably by hi
geniality and intellectually;
Maj, Connor, Of Chattanooga, q

The report comes that the Mexican
Court which tried the American editor
Cutting has sentenced him to q years
imprisonment and q fine of$5Oe, and has
proceeded to enforce the sentence. The
State Court has thus defied the authority
of the general government of Mexico.
But our government holds no eommunic-
alton with the States. It looks to, the
central authority. If this last confess
its inability to control the States to the
observance of its obligations, and to COM
pei observance of international laws and
rights, that is no concern of ours. Our
government very justly protects. or pro-
poses so to dothe rights of the American
citizen in the person of Cutting, q very
unworthy object, but stin an American
citizen, with right ON hissides a proper
sense Of national dignity seems b make
war with Mexico unavoidable. It is ex.
tremely undesirable on every account, but
the prosperity connected with the exis-
tence of peaceful relations with Mexico
cannot be enjoyed coupled with disgrace;
and disgrace it Will be if caution is to
supersede the yigor necessary to ensure
the respect due the United States, and if
petty Mexican Alcalde can set up
his authority over an American citizen
in defiance Of the. plainest precepts of
international law.

COMMUTATIoN.

COMPUTATION.
Two men, Gooch and Moore, con.
demned to be hung on Sept nth fol
the murder of Mr.. James A. Cheat
ham, of Raleigh, little more than
a year ago, have had their death
sentence commuted by Gov. Scales
to twenty years at hard labor in the
penitentiary. The Communication is
said to have been entirely unexpec>
ted to the people of Raleigh. We
are not surprised at their surprise.
The murder was a most horrible
one. It excited the utmost horror
in Raleigh for the brutal, cold-blood-
edness of the killing of quiet, in>
offensive man. The parties defen>
dant had one of the fullest and
fairest trials on record; they had the
benefit of a subsequent deliberation
by the Supreme Court. By all the
courts their crime was murder, and
death the penalty. What has come
in to soften the heart of Gov. Scales?
We do not know, and we will not
criticise his act unwittingly.
But prima facie. we think he has
erred, not in the interest of mercy or
Justice: We demand no man'sblood.
But the peace of society would be
more surely preserved by the un-
flinching execution of the laws; and
the people would not so often in
fict summary punishment upon
offenders, if assurance were given
that the laws would do their full
and perfect work.

IFor the Asheyille CITIZEN.
THE QUESTION OF SMALL saw
INGS CONSIDERED.

Messrs Editors -
j believe any thoughtful mind will ad-
mit, when looking at Savings Banks in
the light of benefcent Institutions, that
they are in truth, the highest and the
most prolific in results Of all other instt-
tutions for correcting and preventing
human ills in any community.
For they teach and encourage Industry,
Ftugality and Temperance tho great an
nihilators of common crime.
While other institutiens are generally
only corrective and curative III their ma
lures, these are not only preyentors of
carelessness and crime on one side, but
creators of particularly md virtue on
the other.
They go to work siientl pefsuasively
and continually in their bofs among
mechanics, workingmen clerks,
shop-keepers laborers s - ng girls
They ara teaching the people apeskly,
monthly, yedrly how to become citizens of
real and intrinsic merit; and the estaD-
lishment Of the savings department of
the French Broad Bank viii create for
this State men of worth and men of con-
sideration.
No better illustration is needed to
prove the truth of this assertion than
may be found in the..renarkable success
of poor emigrantS who seek our shores,
especially the German.
Let any man VIII desires to ascertain
the true cause Of the success of these
poor emigrants, examine for himself the
records of the Savings Banks in New
York City alone. He will be filed with
wonder at their marvellous success, and
will learn that the deposits from these
small savings aggregate more than all
the other banks put together.
No community or State can more GER
tainly secure its perpetuity and grand
eur, than by providing ways and means
for encouraging in every way the accu-
mutation of property among the masses;
for when man holds property he natu-
rally becomes one of their eteadiest sup
porters.
A few men of wealth and great mass
of men without property, has in its midst
elements of an explosive nature.
than he who feels himself to be gradu-
ally-by his own honest endeavor and
savings progressing and rising in the
world, and on the contrary, he who
spends all or more than he gets,'is de-
pressed by an opposite feeling.
Holding such views, and knowing
whereof speak, having seen for myself
the great good effected by such institu-
tions, I have taken the liberty to en-
croach on your space with the view of
commencing to my fellow citizens with
out respect to age, condition or color, the
advantages afforded by such an institu-
tion in our midst.
1T is hard for an empty bag to stand
upright" but Little and often will fill
the purse"

Destructive Cloud Burst.

A special dispatch from Fort Ke.
ogh, Montana, says: "a cloud
burst Monday at Simmons sheep
corral, on the American fork of
Mussel Shoal, which destroyed 800
head of sheep. The cloud exploded
at the head of Dry-Run creek, and
came pouring down in a solid wall
twenty two feet high, carrying of
nearly the entire flock. Carcasses
of animals are strewn along the riY-
er for distance of sixteen miles
below the scene of the disaster.
The upper Yellowstone Valley
was visited Yesterday by a terrific
hail storm which rooted up and de.
stroyed every growing thing in q
strip of country six miles wide.
Near Merrill occurred cloud halls
burst. For half an hour the hail
was beyond description. There
were drifts Of hail fourteen inches
deep in some places. There was
little rain accompanying the hail.
Simply one sheet of hail came pour
ing down.

The camp meeting at Turkey Greek
will begin on Friday before 4th Monday
in August.
The weather for the past few days has
been pleasant with cool southeast wind
which will bring rain before it changes.
We do not think the mercury has reach
ed Sd in the shade for more than week.
Mr.. Lakey, the father of the young
man held for the killing of Prof Madi-
SOP, walked to Asheville all the way from
/ his home in Macon county and back to
procure the release of his son-a distance
to and fro of nearly 200 miles. He did
this out of some nervous solicitude about
| the safety of rail road travel.
We thank the Greensboro Patriot as
well as many other friends of the press
for the generous endorsement given'to
the attitude of the CITIZEN. AS the mat
ter for the present has passed from our
hands we will not prejudice it by farther
extracts from the press, enough of which
have been given to show the sentiment
of the press and to earn and receive our
grateful acknowledgements.

CATION to the Raleigh Convention
headed by the President of the road,
Mr.. -H. A. London, afterwards Presi-
dent of the Convention, made the
first trip over so much of the road
as was ready for use. And good
road it proves to be.
Services were held on Sunday
evening in the Parlor of the Battery
Park Hotel, by the Rev. Mr.. Roach,
rector of an Episcopal church in
Brooklyn, N. Y. There was quite a
large attendance composed ofguests
of the hotel and visiting citizens. An
excellent sermon was preached, and
the music was excellent and hearty,
Mr.. Coontz, clerk of the hotel, pre-
sided at the piano and was sustain-
ed by an excellent impromptu choir.
These services are exceedingly in
teresting.
The Indian Ball Play at the Hay
wood White Sulphur Springs to-day
should be especially attractive to
visitors to the mountains. The game
is played by genuine Indians, not
sham Bowery boys or impecunions
Hibernians 1t is played in the ab-
original style without adulteration
by the arts of the whites; and it is
played with all the ardor and aban-
don of the savage. It is really an
interesting spectacle to see these abb
origines, so far under the control of
civilized habits in most respects, in
this game returned SO completely to
the dominion of old ways and the
customs of their tribes. There is no
where else in the Atlantic States
where such a game, SO played, can
be seen. #

We have mentioned the arrest and


We have mentioned the arrest and
commitment of one A. B. Lackey
for presumed completely in the muir
der of Prof. Madison. He and his
alleged wife have been in Jail there
for some weeks, the latter held as
witness in default Of ability to secure
her appearance. Messrs. Jones and
Hardwick, counsel for the prisoner,
made application for writ of
habeas corpus, which was heard be-
fore Judge Gudger at Waynesville
on Saturday.
The results given in the Waynes-
vile Neaos of Sunday, as follows
Yesterday afternoon there was a
hearing before Judge Gudger at this
place in the case of A. B. Lackey on
a writ of habeas corpus in the Mad
ison murder case. General John-
ston Jones appeared for the prison>
er. During the examination cf Mr..
G. l.. Renno, as witness, the evil
dence produced in the coroner's
court was read.in full by Solicitor
Ferguson. Messrs. Renno, Morgan
Haynes and several other witnesses
were examined, but the amount of
testimony was too voluminous to
be printed here. The report of the
Detective Deaver was also read
which was well arranged, and goes
great ways towards proving that
Madison committed suicide.

DIAMONDS
Col. Denny showed here on Saturday
twelve small, but genuine. diamonds
found among the gold washings in Nc
Dowell county. He also exhibited other
valuable gems, all in Thorough. We do
not think we have a Golconda near or
among US, but without doubt diamond of
more or less value will be found at no
distant day more abundantly than now.

THE New Town.

The NEW Town.
We referred in a recent issue of the
laying out of new town in Burke county
on the line of the Western North Caro-
olina Rail Road. It is located near the
famous Leonard's Cut, between Bridge
water and Glen Alpine Stations. 1t is on
the margin of fine forest country, the
north side opening on the valley of
the Catawba river. The site is an eleva-
ted one, and is entirely salubrious and
healthy. 1t is the enterprise of north
ern capitalists, and we look for pronounc-
ed success.
We make the following extract from a
letter which gives us the information of
the enterprise. We are glad to see in the
naming of the town the recognition of
the great and Invaluable relations of Col.
A. B. Andrews to all that influences the
prosperity of Western North Carolina
ANDREWS, N: C., Aug. 9TH, 1885.
The corporators of this place decided
to-day by unanimous vote to name their
new town Andrews, and to apply to the
Legislature next winter for an act of in.
corporation. The name is given in hon.
or Of Col. A. B. Andrews whose efforts to
encourage immigration have been highly
appreciated by all settlers who have had
business with him. The president of
the town site company, Capt. John F.
Boyd, is advised of the coming of many
settlers, and is receiving applications for
lots from various parts of New York and
England. Next week store building
will be begun, a temporary affair, which
will be occupied by New York mer-
chant, who later will build on larger and
more elaborate scale. A petition for a
post Office will be sent to the Depart
ment in few days.
