The Crops.

The accounts that greet us from every
side of the fine prospects of the growing
wheat crop, throw cheering ray of light
athwart the darkness that enshrouds both
our political and financial horizon. En-
ployment has, for some time, been scarce
and wages correspondingly low, while the
necessaries of life, from one reason and
another, have kept their high figure. The
bad crops of the past two years may be
adduced as the principal cause of this wide
spread distress. Corn and wheat the very
staff of life, have been higher than in many
preceding years. From all accounts both
promises better this year. Corn, thus far,
looks we'll, and bids fair to yield a good
average crop; but wheat is nearer maturity,
and we are informed, by our correspon-
dents in the country, promises an abun-
dant crop. A friend, who has recently
travelled over a considerable part of the
up-country of South Carolina, writes
"The grain crop, including wheat, bar
lev, oats, rye, &C., was never better, and
the breadth sown is unusually large. The
wheat crop in particular will be unparallel-
ed. It will be better than any known for
the last twenty years. Nothing can in iiure
it now except storm. Some of the plan
ters are feeding their stock on it !; but the
number is very small. The result will be
a large harvesting of wheat. and decline
in the price of flour"
GAS to cotton" says the same writer,
"the stand is good, and what is peculiarly
encouraging, the entire farms are general :
ly very clean. But it matters not much at
present about cotton, as every old planter
knows, so the stand is good and clean.-
The coming months of Jaly and August
will determine its fate
"Of the corn crop, what has been plant
ed, is in very satisfactory condition
With favorable seasons the return will be
good in proportion to the quality planted.
Our opinion is th; the general prospects OF
the planter and farmer throughout the
State, from the sea board to the mountains,
are good, perhaps were never better, so far
as the present condition of crops is con-
cerned. -ChGrlestOn Neurs.

And cover thy grave with flowers
We will think of thee in thy heavenly home.

And we will trust with hopeful trust,
That we shall meet the there.

From Raletgh-Speech of Chief Justice
Chase.

RALEIGH, June 6.
At the opening of the United States Circuit
Court this morning, in the State Senate Gambler,
large number of distinguished members of the
bar were present. Before proceeding to business
Chief Justice Chase made the following remarks: !:
Practitioners, Gentlemen of the bar, before pro-
ceeding to the regular business think it proper
to address few observations to you For more
than four years the courts OF the Union were ex-
cluded from North CBrolina by the rebellion; when
active hostilites ceased in 1865 TIE national mill
tary authority took the place of all ordinary civil
Jurisdiction or controlled it's exercise. All courts,
whether State or National, were subordinated to
the military supremacy, and acted, when they
acted at all under such limitations and in such
cases as the Commanding General, under the di-
rection of the President, thought fit to prescribe.
Their process might be disregarded, and their
judgments and DEGREES set aside by military or
ders. Under these circumstances, the justices OF
the Supreme Court attended to the circuits which
included the insurgent States and abstained from
gaining the district judges in holding the circuit
courts. Their attendance was unnecessary, for
the district judges were fully authorized by law to
hold the Circuit Courts without the Justices of the
Supreme Court, and to exercise complete juris-
dction in the trial of all criminal and almost al
civil cases; and their attendance wss unnecessary
for another reason The military tribunals at that
time and under the existing circumstances, were
competent to the exercise of all Jurisdiction GRIM
inal and CIVIL which belongs, under ordinary cir
cumstances, to Circuit Courts. Being unneces-
sary, the justices thought that their attendance
would be improper and unbecoming; they regard
el it as unfit in itself and injurious i'll many
ways to the public interests (; that the highes'
oAcers of the judiciary department of the gov
eminent should exercise their functions under the
supervision and control Of the executive depart
ment. At length, however, the military contro
| yex the civil tribunals was withdrawn

The President and the Removal OF the Ci-

No order has yet been issued reinstating

has decided to await the return of the At

therefore, deferred until the President gets
back from North Carolina.

by the President. The writ of habeds corpus
which had been suspended, was restored and mil
itary authority in civil matters was abrogated.-
This was effected partially by the proclamatlons
of April 2nd and fully by the proclamation OF Au-
gust 22nd, 1856. These proclamations reinstated
the full authority of the National Courts in all
matters within their jurisdiction. and the Justices
OF the Supreme Court expected to join the Dis
trict Judges in holding Circuit Courts during the
Interval between the terms at Washington. On
the 23rd of July, 1885, however, an act of Congress
reduced the number of the Circuits and changed
materially the lists of which the Southern circuits
were composed, without making or providing for
an allotment of the members of the Supreme Court
to the new circuit, and without such allotments
the Justices of that Court have no circuit rrisdc
ton. The effect of the act before was to suspend
the authority of Justices to hold the Circuit Courts
in the altered circuits this suspension was re-
moved by the act of March End, 1867, by which a
new allotment was authorized under this act
The Justices of the Supreme Court have been
again assigned to circuit duties and the Chief JUS
tice has been allotted to hold with the District
Judges the National Courts in the circuit of which
the District of North Carolina is made part
[ am here, therefore to join my brother the Dis
trict Judge in holding the Circuit Court for this
District it is the first Circuit Court in any Dis
trict within the insurgent States at which JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court could be present with
out disregard Of superior duties at the seat of
Government or usurpation Of jurisdiction. The
Associate Justice allotted to the other Southern
circuits will join in holding the Courts at the re-
gular terms prescribed by law, and thus the Ma.
tional civil jurisdiction will be fully restored
throughout the Union. It is true that military au-
thority is still exercised within these circuits but
now as formerly, in consequence of the disappear
ance of local authority and in supervision of con-
trail of tribunals whether State or National it is
used now under acts of Congress, and only to pre-
vent illegal violence to persons and property and to
facilitate the restoration of every State to equal
rights and benefits in the Union, and this military
authority does not extend in any respect to the
Courts of the United States. Let US hope that
henceforth, that neither rebellion nor any other
occasion for the association of any military an
thority Courts of Justice, will hereafter sus-
pend the course of Judicial administration by the
National tribunals in any part of the republic.
The remainder OF the time of the Court was con-
sumed in hearing unimportant cases and motions.

The Israelites Convention at Philadelphia
A Convention of delegates from the prin-
cipal Jewish synagogues of the country has
been in session in Philadelphia. A paper
read by Rev. Mr.. Lesser claimed that the
Fallachiaux tribes of Abyssinia, and the
people of the interior of China, are the
lineal descendants of the lost tribes. Their
manners, customs and forms of prayer,
show this to be the case. AS efforts are
making to convert them to Christianity, a
messenger is about to be sent out by the
Universal Israelitish Alliance of Paris to
counteract the movement. The Business
Committee deprecate the system prevalent
for so many years of sending large sums to
Palestine, which was spent in aims giving,
thus affording merely temporary relief, and
causing the sojourners to be dependent on
the charitable for their livelihood. They
propose to stop this evil system, and in
stead to send out money to be expended in
encouraging the development of agricul-
tural and industrial efforts IL this direction
The plan of the committee was adopted.
It was resolved to cooperate i'll measures
for removing the Jews of Servia, Moldavia,
Wallachia, Roumania, and the Barbary
States to Palestine and colonize them there
It was also decided to establish Jewish
College at Philadelphia.
