TIE Fox CASE IN FACQUIER CoUNrr. -Thc
Circuit Court which adjourned yesterday, dur
ing the last three days Of lis session. Was en-
gagged in the trial Of the Chancery cause Of
Ferguson vs. Fox. The suit WAS brought by
the children Ct Dolly Ferguson, who was the
halt sister Of James and john Fox, to recover
their share Of the estate OF James Fox, who
died . l;;naiic, in 1919. The claim 10 their
share Is resisted on the ground that james Fox
before he was declared lunatic aad while he
was competent to act conveyed his estate in
1906 to VIM and Dolly Ferguson. and they IL
1909 conveyed it to John Fox, and on the
further ground that the statute OF limitations
and lapse cf time defeated the claim. The
nplainants contend that the deed from James
Fox of 1906. was fraudulent and that on the
legal principle Of c9nfusto Jouo,N0s they are
entitled to the whole estate Of John Fox, which
at his death was valued at about 500, 900.
The cause was very sby argued BY Nlcssrs.

The Crops for 1865.

The New York Tribune has an editorial
summing up of the crops for the season,
from which We quote:
As We feared. the early frosts in the
Norsh-west, reaching Southwark to embrace
one third of the State of Illinois, did con.
siderable damage to the corn crop. Accounts
from the section thus affected report much
soft aud immature corn. Throughout the
country, however, the crop is above the av-
ersge annual yield, though not so very large
as it was expected it would be three months
ago.
The potato crop is large, but unfortunate
ly the tubers are infected with rot, SO much
so that dealers refuse to buy in large quanti-
ties and prices are consequently low.
The apple crop is fair in the Western
States, and the fruit is of excellent quality.
In the middle and Eastern States the yield
is light.
The hog crop has been over.estimated.
1t will not, as has been supposed, be unusu-
ally large, but will barely exceed the aver
age harvest.
Grapes are in fair supply, but of inferior
quality. In many localities, by reason of
an early frost, the fruit failed to ripen, and
hence is dry aud inspid. Good grapes are
very scarce, and in great demand.
Though we are without definite informa.
ton on the yield of the bean crop, the MI gh
prices, active inquiry, and small supply, in
dicate short crop.
The New York market has never, hlther-
to, been so completely oVerrun with cattle,
hogs, and sheep. They are poured in upon
us from all parts of the West, where the
supply seems to be iuexhsustible; aud both
growers and dealers are anxious to sell at
present prices, which are gradually settling
to lower basis.
Turkeys were never before so abundant
throughout the country. Small poultry is
also 10 full supply. Present high prices,
therefore, are purely speculative, and must
eventually break down. The quantity of
butter made this fall is truly enormous, and
vast supply is held by both dairymen and
dealers, who have overhead themselves and
will now be compelled to reduce their stocks
at lower figures, as the supply is quite too
large to maintain present prices. The ao,
cumulation of cheese even exceeds that OF
butter, and must, for the same causes, ex-
perience a decline in price. Wool is in
good supply. The shearing was larger than
usual, and of fair quality. The army de
mand having ceased, the market is inactive
and has already experienced marked de-
cline

New Plan of the Herald.

The New York Herald, of Tuesday, has
a new plan for the reconstruction of the
Union. The pith of the scheme is in the
two following concluding paragraphs of its
article:
We would submit to the Congress, which
is to re-assemble in Washington on the first
Monday in December, a new constitutional
amendment, or modification of that before
the States, so as to embrace, not the cheat
ing proposition of impartial suffrage, but
universal suffrage and universal amnesty,
as the basis of Southern restoration. The
universal suffrage we mean is the admission
to the ballot box of all males of all races
and colors, of twenty-one years of age, ex
cept criminals and lunatics, and "ludiaus
not taxed ;" and the amnesty we mean is
one which will reach from the rebel bush.
vhacker to JEFF. Davis and his Cabinet, be-
ginning with the release of Davis. We
would further propose the enforcement Of
this settlement upon the rebelious South,
as President johnson enforced the amend
uent sbolisbing slavery. To this end, an
Act of Congress, requiring the President
to place an army of 100000 or 100000
men under General Grant, for the purpose
of hurrying up the good work in the exclu-
ded States, would be a good thing. Some
thing of this sort is required to convince
those States aud their people that an uu-
successful rebellion brings its pains and
penalties, and that it is the victor, and not
the vapquished, that dictates the treaty of
peace.
President Johuson's efforts at restoration
have turned out to be s'loVe's labor lost. d"
Let the rightful authority of Congress, then
be interpoSed, and in a manner which will
admit of no more trihing and no more de.
Law. Let this new plan be placed in the
hands of Gen. Grant, for its enforcement,
and the thing will soon be done. Peace,
restoration and harmony will speedily fol-
low; for while the universal amnesty will
throw the veil over the offences and offend
ers of the rebellion, universal suffrage,
blacks and all, will hold the recovered States
firmly in the Union and with the cause of
the Union. Moreover, by this plan, there
will be the additional positive advantage to
the South of some twenty odd members of
Congress over the plan Of negro exclusion
from the suffrage. The authority and the
power are in the hands of Congress, and
this is our plan as matters now stand, for
short, comprehensive, complete and speedy
settlement.

FROM MExIco-A despatch to the
World, Of the 2lst instant says:
Maximilian has not sailed, nor is it likely
be will sail soon, as the French would not
allow him to leave until he signs formal
abdication.
A little indscretion Of the commander OF
the Austrian frigate Dondalo has been the
cause of this.
When Macmillan left Mexico, Gen Ba-
zaiue thought that be came to Orizaba merely
on q little excursion, as he had gone to
Cueruavaca and other places.
Day before yesterday, the commander Of
the Doudalo received at midnigt despatch
from Maximiian, ordering him to have bis
frigate ready yesterday, at 5 o'clock P, m
at which time Macmillan expected to be
here, and wanted to sail at once. As soon
as the Austrian commander received this
despatch, he called on M. Peyron, the
French commander, to take leave of him
He showed the despatch be bad received,
and asked orders for Trieste. NJ. Peyron

who despatched instructions by telegraph
to the French commanders at Orlzaba,
Cordova, and Vera Cruz, not to allow Max

plan to fly from Mexico, but that he could
not be permitted to do so, unless he would

The Penitentiary System,


The wisdom of establishing the peniten.

following notice of the Georgia institution,

report exhibits statement of very thor

the buildings and premises. Among the
improvements mentioned is the introduction
of corn mill, operated by steam power,
capable of grinding 100 bushels of corn per
day, the toll being expected to bread tile
whole institution. Mr.. Anderson expresses
the decided opinion that the penitentiarY
may be made, in its present location, self

State The report of the book. k.keeper shows
an excess of assets over Indebtedness to
the amount of Sl3,5l3."
