A Bober Heeond Thonght. Tlio railroads of Tonncsseo, at least nlno- tenths of them, are struggling desperately to pay the interest on tholr bonded dobt and keep out of tho hands of recelvors. It is not only now, bnt has been for sovoral years. They need all tho help tho poople can glvo them. Nothing would be moro hurtful to the material interests of tho State than to have our railroads in receivers’ hands. Politicians, If they aro observing mon (and they ought to bo), can see this, but thsro scorns stUt to bo a fow reoklesa mon who liopo to ride into ofllee upon tha railroad hobby. Lot thorn bo Tory care full n sober scoond thought hsa taken hold of tho pooplo, who aro unwilling to further euffimr- ago tho attempt to oripplo our roada by plao lug thorn at the meroy of a political machine called a Commission, with pbwer to barraaa or Inflict Injury upon them.

Tho application of the shotgun policy to tho Cano Crook ootony of Later Day Saints, In Tennessee, la a warn ing against Mormon migration to thaBouth which Is likely to bo effectual. The slaughter of several Mormon olden by a party of masked men waa a horrible affair, bnt far less horrible than tha Monntaln Meadow massaore, which la amid to havo had the sanation of Brigham Young. Tho murder of Mormons is to bo severely condemned, howover regardless of hu man life tholr ehuroh may have been In tho accomplishment of Its purpose* | but the slaughter In Tenuessco is significant as show ing the abhorrenoe with wbloh tho Mormon •octal aystom is regarded. The expreialon of tha feeling waa very wrong, but tha feeling Itself was right, and whon it la as intense throughout tho whole Union as it sppears to bo in Tenncssos, tho abolition of tho Mormon Infamy will bo at hand. yet she must do It.

How Cotton Is Crowing. Tn..

In tho last report it waa said, in tho Atlai.tlo States, Ala bama and parts of Mississippi the crop ha* grown rapidly, snd Is very sappy and exposod to a loss of fruit from a hot and dry spell. This fear has been realized, and In South Car olina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi tho loss from shedding and rust has boon serious, causing a docllno in tho condition. West of the Mississippi tho continued drouth in Tuxaa has further injured tho crop in that state, briuglng tho condition down qnlto low, while Louisiana and Arkansas now need rain, though the damage has not yot proved very serious. These two latter states, with lennessoo, rank the highest. Our meteorological tablo shows a lower rango of thermometer than last yoar, but rising to exccsslvo figures tho last work. The rainfall has fallen below tho small figure* of lait reason. The growth of tho plant lias on the whole been pretty good over most of (he belt excepting Texas, of course, and tho fruitage fair, hut this has been offset by shed ding. The plant Is still backward, from two to three weeks, and tho crop, therefore, ox- posed to vioisitudes from early or oven tho average frost. Worms havo done scarcely any damago. Picking will bcoome general from the 10th to tho 15th of September, and later In th* northern part of tho bolt. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. NEWS SUMMARY 1 sECRETAhY FOLDER DEAD. SOUTHERN NOTES.

A New York oat displayed marvelous Intelli gence recently. She belongs to a surgeon and has actually acquired the capaolty of distin guishing between the different eurgioal torme. Here ia a dear proof. She got a swelling In her side lately and her master eald In her pres ence, “I’ll have to get you lanced, old girl," and then loft the room to fotch a yonng sur geon. The'oat evidontly knew what lanoing meant, for eho at onoo-jumpod on the bed, bit at her elds until the blood oame and thtia lanced herself. When her muter returned with the yonng surgeon he saw what she had done and at onco instructed hie friend to stitch the wound. Hie friend did so, bat u soon u tha oat got free she set her toeth to the etltehes and tore them open. The etrengest thing wu that the ewolllng disappeared in a tow days, and the cat proved* to her master’s satisfaction that In undoing the ctitohes she had. shown a more thorough knowledge of surgery than he had. Living After llcnth. At longth It is beginning to bo recognized in Franoe that tho brain of a dooapltatcd crim inal- livos and consciousness is maintained for an appreciable time, which to tho victim may seem an ago after death—an opinion wa txprceipd sevcral years sgo. 'Tiffs ghastly fact —u we have no donbt It ie—being perceived, It is beginning to be felt that oxocuttona can not any longer be carried out by the guillotine. Prussio soid Is now proposed. If instantane ous death be desired, this is clearly admissible. Tho period taken to terminate life by poison of any kind must needs vary greatly with the in dividual. In not a small proportion of instam ccs wo fanoy death, by prussio acid would ba considerably protracted, and although long dying is not so horriblo as living after death— so to say—yet It is strongly opposed to tho Interests of humanity to protraot tho agony of a follow creature dying by tho hand of justice, Eleotrioity is another agent suggested. We doubt tho possibility of applying this agent so SB to destroy life Instantly. We confess that, looking at tho miit':or all round, wo Incline to think that hanging, whon properly performed, destroys consciousness more rapidly, and pre vents its return more effectually, than any other mode of death whlob justice can employ. It is sgainBt the bungling way of banging we protest—not against the mothod of executing itself. This is, on the whole, tho -best, we are convinced. Ex-Spiakcr Bamukl J.
