A let ter from Major Hinkle expresses tho great est confidence in the final success of his side of the case, The Cairo Short Lino now runs a through freight train from New Orleans to Denver, Col., which, it is claimed, is able to cover the distance in 119 hours, or about live days. Tho train is run via tho C, Ii. and Q. and Cairo Short Line. It is claim ed that it is 24 hours taster than the fastest freight train run by any of tho road's com petitors for the Colorado business. Yesterday morning tho thermometer stood at 100 degrees in Shreveport, La., and at GO in this city. This great difference in the temperature, between two points no further distant from each other than these, taken in conjunction with other atmospher ic conditions, was considered by those who ought to know as promising great aerial commotions in the south. If theso expec tations prove true, tho telegraph will tell all about it to-morrow. -The case of Jesse Hinkle, of this city, vs. J no. hinot, ol Faducah, which has been pen ling in the courts hero and at Spring field for some time, promises to hang firo for another term of months. Tho case was on trial for a week ending Tuesday, io the state supremo court at Springfield. Tuesday tho jury in tho caso disagreed and was discharged. The amount sued for by Maj. Hinkle is $25,000. Tho plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Linegar, Lansden amis. P. Wheeler, of this city, Col. Bullit, ofPaducah, and Major Connelly, U. S. district attorney of Springfield.

Yesterday Matthew MeOuiro, arrested by Constable Schutterfor fighting,was fined fi and costs by Justice Hobinson. Justice Bird fined Minnie Harris the same sum for using too vigorous Anglo-Saxon in the pub lic streets. Mr. Cunningham did his very best to prove to tho court that Minnio had not used the language charged to her, or that she used it only "in a Pickwickian sense. He did this in a manner that would have overwhelmed most any one cnpable of being wheedled from a stern conviction of right, by tho tower of argument and eloquence and flowery turns. But tho court whs not to bo wheedled ami Mr. Cuuning liam consoles himself with tho belief that, perhaps, after all, it is better so. The American Sunday School union has offered a prize of $1,000 fur the best essay on the Sabbath. There is no second priz'J in this lottery scheme, and all com petitors save the sujeesaful author will have their work for nothing. There may bo mis understanding too, among competing au thors, and between them and tho awarding committee, as to which day of the week is to bo regarded as tho Sabbath, tho seventh day, or the first day. Tho seventh day or Saturday has the authority of both the Old and New Testaments as the S ibbath of rest after creation was done. Tho first day, or Sunday as a day of rest is without the authority ot either the pr -phots or evangelistH, as that was the day on which tho six days work of creation was begun. Goodjessays could doubtloBsbe wiitten upon either the beginning of tho work, or tho rest after it; but the Sunday School union's prize doubtless has reference to Sunday and not to the biblically ordained S.ilbath or seventh day. In answer to an inquirer as to "which is the largest railroad company in this country," tho New York Journal of Com merce gives the following interesting in formation: The Union Pacific is the largest 4,20D miles, capital $05,322,155.

Men are at work picking out and gath ering together the rock of that portion of tho stone wall on Ohio levee, which fell down some time ao, preparatory to re-erecting the wall. The cause of its fall was not so much its ow n weakness as it was the un necessiiiy strain to which it was subjected by the fresh clay that was thrown loosly between it and the sloping bank. Tho clay settling down after being thoroughly satur ated with rain caused a pressure that would have been difficult to resist by a much more substantial wall. When tho wall was built it was understood that tho clay on th.) inner side was to bo thoroughly stamped down while dry, so that, Instead of absorbing rain and Bottling down as a Wedge between tho lank and the wall and exerting a great pressure against the latter, it would shed the water and remain firmly in its dace. Had this been done in the first place the wall would probably not have given way, for it appears that tho founda'iim was firm. It had been reveted along the outer base as contemplated and lid not givo way a particle. -Tho editorial reproduced from the Springfield Register, places Governor Hamilton in a very unfavorable liyht from whateverstandpoint tho matter is regard ed. Dishonesty or tho grossest stupidity must bo at tho bottom of thu affair. In explanation tho Governor lays tho whole blame upon his subordinates who mistook an order lo render vouchers tor unpaid ex penses, for ono to render vouchers for thu expenses ol tho whole year, paid and un paid. This would imply htupidty or dis honesty on tho part of either tliu writer of tho order, in that hu cither purposly or ignorantly made the orders so obscuro that a man of ordinaniy good sense could not understand them, or it implies stupid ity or dishonesty on tho part or tho rceipi outs of the orders, in that they either igno rantly or purposely nilsundersiood(?) tho orders. S much for thu subordinates; sensible people will conclude that they liavo no uao for "subordinates" in tho public service, who either through stupidity or do sign, can dupo their superiors to tho extent that Governor Hamilton professes t have been dupod,and can then by tho aid of tholr dupod superiors, comu within an ace of il legally drawing $50,000 from the state treas ury. Hut what can bo said of the suporiors injsuch a esse? With them as with the sub ordinates" either ignorance or dishonesty must have provailed; and somo people will tiaturally conclude that they havo no uso for a governor and an auditor who, from either of the causes named, not only fail to discover and defeat an orronoous or fraudu lent draft upon tho public treasury, calling for $00,000 instead of $10,000, but even go so far as to lienor tho draft with their sig natures, and then givo way to fierce anger when their great error or dishonesty is ex posed.

It seems that we wero in error as to the state of the negotiations between Mrs. Safford and Mr. Cook with reference to a lot owned by tho latter, within the square Baught by tho former for the Saffird Memorial building. Mr. Cook did ask $700 for the lot, and persisted long in the demand, failing to notice entirely three or four letters enclosing stamp and addressed envelope, sent him by Mr. Candt o. Final ly Mrs. Safford submitted the matter to Gov. Satford, who was sojourning in New York, who succeeded in bringing tbe mat ter to a conclusion by agreeing to givo $500 for tho lot, which is still about double its real value. Ttiis conclusion was reached entirely without the knowledge of Mrs. Saffird or Messrs. Candee and Bailey h'jro, hmcu our error yes terday morning. At tho figure nam';d Mrs. Safford has concluded to purchase and the deed was made out by Mr. Howley, real estate agent, and on Monday sent to Brooklyn, to be signed by Mr. Cook. This little matter settled, the work of building the basement and filling tho lots will prob ably begin very soon. Tho Texas and St. Luis railroad, familiarly known as the cotton belt road, will be open for business on the completion of the bridge over the Arkansas river at Hob Roy next Saturday. At that time tho last spiko will bo driven on thu structure in question and continuous lino of 730 miles from Cairo to Texas will be complet ed. This will open a vast amount of terri tory to farmers and cattle men contiguous to the line. It is tbe intention of tho com pany in a few weeks to put on trains that will run from Chicago and St. Louis to all points in Central Texas, which will make close connections with tho Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fo and the Houston and Texas Central railroads, as well as several other important trunk lines of the south and west. This lyie, which has been built prin cipally by St. Louis capitalists, will benefit Texas vastly, and, although a narrow-gauge, it will lie as thoroughly and completely equipped as any other lino in the country. The coaches are to have tho same capacity as those of the broad-gauge roads, and tbey will be constructed in a manner that will enable the company to run them over either broad or narrow-gauge tracks from St. Louis and Chicago. From St. Louis they will be drawn to this city over tho Cairo Short Line, and from Chicago over tho Illinois Central; their trucks to bo changed at tho company's hoist here. Tho passen ger equipment of the road has all been constructed by tho Pullman Car company. On tho 12th of August a time card will bo issued. The melon crop of Mississippi and Scott counties, Missouri, is very slender this year. Mr. Ed. Scantland, who repre sents tho largo commission houso of Nell is, Smith & Co., Chicago, made a thorough can vas of tho counties, aud reports that not over one-fourth of a crop will bo gathered and that this fraction will be of very inferior quality. Mr. Scantland has been doing a big busincBM in melons iu former years, soliciting lar','0 shipments of the fruit for Chicago commission firms via Cairo and the Illinois Central; but this year very few if any melons will reach Chicago from tho counties named. Tho reason of this is, that, because or a rivaly that has sprung up between the Illinois Central and Iron Mountain roads, by reason of the formers traffic combination with tho St. Louis and Texas road, tliu Iron Mountain rofusos to pluco Illinois Central cars at Charleston, Mo., and other points convenient to the melon raisers, to bo loaded ss heretofore with melons, and shipped via Cairo and Illinois Central to Chicago, arriving there fresh and sound on the second day after leaving tho field in Missouri. The result is that now all melons in tho two countios named, that seek the Chicago market, must go by way of St. Louis and be under way seven or eight days, during which they be come worthless. The difference in rates is also groat, as much as $30 per car it is , said, agd in favor of the Cairo muto. Thus it appears that tho little rivalry that has sprung up between the two railroad com panies nainod, is workini? greatly to the in jury of tho Mississippi and Scott county, Mo., melon raisers, and doubtless affects other interests with equal injury. Every houso of tho human race, ought to have St. Jacobs Oil, tho pain-curo. STARTLING REVELATIONS. Springfield Uoitlatur.J The Register publishes olsewhore this morning some facts of a startling character in relation to tho military fund, about which there has been considerable talk of late. A reporter of this paper on yesterday tried to get at tho bottom facts, and in do ing so earthed a scheme which if it bad succesful, would havo been a giganty steal from tho state treasury of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. Fraudulent vouch ers were presented and practically approved by Gov. Hamilto'i to dispose of the revenue resulting from the one-tenth of a mill tax last year, amounting to upwards of $70, 000, which, under tho law appropriating $75,000 for militia expenses from tho gen eral fund approved June 25th, was to be turned over to thu general fund and paid out only on vouchers properly made out and carefully audited. Theso fraudulent vouchers footed up between $50,000 and $00,000, and would havo been paid had not the auditor's department "smtlled a mice" ami put Chief Clerk Henklo on the scent. He discovered that out of tho nearly or quite $00,000 in vouchers that had been presented? all but $3,000 or $4,000 were bare-faced frauds, made up out of old ac couuts that had been long ago settled and paid. This raid on the treasury was a pre concerted one made up by tho military de partment, and of which the governor as commander-in-rhief must have been cogni zant. Under the old law previous funds had been distributed to thu different com mands pro rata by tho governor, and tho money speut at their own sweet will. Un der the new law $75,000 per annum is ap propriated for tho support of the militia, but none of it cau ho taken from tbe state treasury except on the presentation of prop er vouchers to the auditor, junt as any other money is drawn from the general fund. Tho law was approved on tho 25th of June and it required the auditor to transfer any unexpended balance of the old militia fund to the general fund on first of July. The scheme of the gang of plunderers was to leave littlo if any "unexpended balance," aud it was arranged that the treasury should bo robbed between tho 25th of June and the 1st of July. It was between these dates that tho fraudulent vouchers referred to were presented; and it was thought by the rascals who concoctod the scheme, that the money having been expended by tbe different commands and paid by them out of their pro rata Bhare of tho old fund, it would be an easy matter to deceive tho au ditor by swearing that they bad never been paid and thus get hold of this fifty or sixty thousand dollars and with it have o high old time or "divy" it round among the mil itary ring. Tho governor will doubtless attempt to shift the responsibility on to the adjutant general, and tho adjutant general will try to put it upon the brigade, comman ders, and tho brigade commandes upon tho colonels, and tho colonels upon the captains and tho captains upon the commissaries. But the people will see that no guilty man escapes. The Register prophecies that Gov. Hamilton will, as soon as ho sees the exposure we publish this mornintr, com mence at once to "firo" (to use a military(f) phrase) the adjutant-general, thus hoping to escape the effects of the explosion that is sure to come.
