Judge Underwood, Judge Of the United

lished n card 10 correct perverted report
Of his recent opinions In hdbeas corpus
ease. Judge Underwood says; In that
opinion did not express doubt Of the le-
gality Of the late Peace Proclamation, nor
was It legally called IN question by any one
connected with the case, nor did /
express the opinion that the writ Of ha-
beds corpus could not be executed in
one State while II was not suppressed
In another but the very contrary opin-
lon. My opinion simply was that the
late Peace Proclamation did not revoke the
precious proclamation Of President Lincoln,
stispending, in certain cases, the writ In the
States lately IN ipsuTreetion, and stated the
Peace Proclamation did not include Texas
and II had not. aud was not intended IA
have so broad and general an application
as the petitioner supposed, aud, therefore,
refused 10 grant his prayer.

I"
h-l WASHINGTON. April TO. e
The Hon. II. w. Ferry, member Of Con-
gress from the Fourth District Of Michi-
gan, has presented 10 the Secretary of the
Treasury u letter from the President Of the
City National Bank OF Grand Rapids.
Michigan, addressed 70 Mr.. Ferry, and ask
ing that the law be so amended as to allow
the reduction of the amount OF securities
required from the National Banks, desig-
mated as deposltaries OF the public moneys
Of the United States. for deposits of such
public moneys with thenL TO the amount Of
$4,000.
Ia reply thereto, the Secretary Of the
Treasury says "that the mntter Of deter
mining the amount of such securities IL
conilded by law to the discretion Of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The minimum
now established by regulations is $50.000.
While the late rebellion was IN progress,
and the operations Of Treasury Depart
ment extended into almost every hamlet Of
the country. the services of such financial
agents as the national banks were very wall
liable and necessary to the successful con-
duct Of said operations. But with the close

"For the above reasons, II has become II

number of Its depositaries, and ~ increase

The SEAsoN.-This Is the most backward
spring that we remember TO have occurred
for the last ten or fifteen years in this sec

we have had no rain, except slight sprin-
kle on Saturday last. The weather has been
very cool and windy. There Is no percep-
tlble growth Of vegetation at all, and the
farmers are much behind hand in getting
In their spring crops. Owing to the dry
ness Of the season, the seeds planted do not
germinsses
There Is general complaint of the short
ness of the wheat crop In the Miami Valley.
In some portions it Is a total failure and
many farmers have already plowed up their
wheat fields. This, however, Is not great
wheat region, and failures OF the crop are
by no means unusual. In the more impor-
tant wheat growing sections of the West
and Northwest, the crop bids fair to be an
average OF nearly so, and II Il is harvested
IN good condition, no apprehension need be
entertained Of any great scarcity Of bread
stufis. There Is large surplus Of wheat
and corn still In the country, and with the
promise Of a reasonable crop Of these varie-
ties Of grain the present season, we need not
trouble ourselves about famine. The far
mers who are holding on TO their wheat un-
Ill after the next harvest in the hope OF get
ting exhorbitant prices, are very likely 10
be disappointed. rBiJag adi b ts.aa
