Our Crops.

The report of the Department of
Agriculture shows that the expectations
of large crops have been realized over
the whole country. The report is for
August and September. 1t gives the
following per centageof increase for the
current year over the last in the wheat
growing States; Ohio, 1870 per cent.
Indiana, 80; Michigan, 80; Wisconsin,
II; Monnescta, l25; Illinois, II, Iowa,
20; Missouri, 40; Kentucky, "a; West
Virginia, go; Virginia, As; New York,
IA, and Pennsylvania 40. Kansas and
Texas alone show a falling off from the
unusually heavy crop of last year.
The corn crop promises better things
daily. The southern States in particu-
lar show better prospect. Georgia
will double last years crop. Alabama
increases rs per cent. Mississippi,
so, Tennessee, 21, Louisiana, 40, South
Carolina 81, and Arkansas 100. Ohio
will fall off 30 per cent. from last year,
Indiana, II, Illinois IA, Kentucky %,
West Virginia 10, and Virginia 10.
The crop of rye, barley, oats and buck
wheat will exceed that of 1866. Hay
shows an increase of 25 to 80 per cent.
Pennsylvania increases her crop of this
kind 80 per cent. New York "a,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois 25,
and Indiana 20. The apple crop will
fail short. Potatoes arerotting badly in
some States.
Thegeneral drift ofthc returns; COM
pairing them with those which were
earlier, and the west with the east, are
favorable to an admirable harvest.
Should the whole country turn out
such crops-and we know that the
Pacific will, and have fattering reports
from the south-there can be no doubt
of a superabundance for home con-
sumption and an excess equal to any
foreign demand. Covering the coun-
try as a unit, the reports have been
and are exceedingly favorable, and
every one has reason to expect better
condition of things in the future.
The Cotton crop of the present year,
now harvesting, is estimated at 25O,
900 bales. The Sea Island variety,
owing to various causes; will amount
to an almost insignificant fraction of
this amount, thus materially diminish
ing the aggregate value.

DELAWARE.
Question of Admitting Negro Testimo.
ny,-Civii Rights Bill Declared InOppera.
tive and Void.

WILMINGTON, DEL, November l..
In the Court of General Sessions, of
Delaware, at Dover yesterday, in the
case of the State against Moses Rash, it
being proposed by Representing Off
Ger to present the evidence ofcomplain-
ant, Samuel Dewey,a colored man, OBJ
lection was made by Comegys' counsel
for defense, that the laws Of Delaware
do not permit colored testimony when
there are competent white witnesses.
Chief Justice Gilpine ruled that the
testimony be admitted because he said
it had been customary in his court to
permit prosecuting witnesses to testify,
even though they were colored, but he
gave as his opinion from the bench,
upon a point which could as we'll be
settled now as any other time, that the
Civil Rights bill of Congress, so far as
it assumes to regulate contracts or the
admission and rejection of testimony in
this State, which the laws of this State
regulate, was imperative and void.
Judge Wooden concurred in the decisi-
on, and Judge Wales dissented. In
case of decision to this effect by the
Court, an appeal to the Court above
would doubtless be sustained.

IsrEREsriSs Law Suir.-An engrossing suit
occupied the attention of the gentlemen ofthe
legal profession and absorbed considerable
public interest here, last week. The suit Is
the contested validity of a note for $4,000, said
to have been given by David Enochs, Of Rich
hill tp,, this county, before his death, to
Margeret Ann Enochs, of Washington Co., q
half of the deceased, by the heirs Of the
estate. The proceeding before the arbitrators,
with Mcssrs, Black, WHY and Buchanan for
plaintiff and Messrs. A. A. Purman and Geo.
Inghram for defendants, has developed the
fact unless more favorable evidence Is deduc-
ed for the plaintiff, that the note Is forgery
The case has been postponed for further hear
ing, and we understand ifdecided unfavorably
to the plaintiff an appeal will be taken.

other girls smaller than herself the girl was
conveying bunch of patterns to neighbors,
when they were overtaken and accosted by
the negro. AT favorable moment he seized
the eldest and conveyed her into the woods.
Her companions fed and communicated the

AL1EsHExY CATTLE MARKET.

y The Pittsburgh Gasetts Of Thursday, Oct.
81, says the market has again been very dull
since the date ofour last report, the etth inst,

demand, prices, compared with last week
especially for commonish stock, has st,l
further declined. Good fat cattle were scarce,
and such as are usually taken for retailing IN
the eastern markets soil without much diff
Guilty al 81 to 7, and extra If there had been
any In market would doubtless have brought

tricted mainly to common cattle, for which
prices ranged from 81 to 4ic, and sonsne-
dunn butchers cattle brought from 81 10 8.
The Impression seems to be gaining strength
among those engaged IN the business that
pricea for all kinds of stock must 60 still. lower.
