The ease of r. G.. Callc0t and others, ac-
c,Ised of frauds on the revenue, was up before
Commissioner Newton again yesterday. The
counsel for the defense expressed their detemi-
nation 10 deprive the Government of every
excuse for delaying the decisive trial beyond
the coming October term. To this end they
waived all examination of the ease before the
Commissioner, and pledged themselves TO do
all in their power to aid the Government in
bringing the Issue to II speedy tiiai. They
took the opportunity To suggest 10 the prose-
cutting officer that, in ease so exceptional and
important, nothing could excuse or justify
delay. II was Il case, they insisted, in which
the public prosecutor, being also the principal
witness, cannot be presumed to have taken so
important step as to procure the suspension
of high financial officer of the Government
without being fully prepared with proofs to
substantiaie his charges.
The Indictment could be drawn in q single
hour; and, rs no objection would be offered, it
could be found by the. Grand jury ID u time
equally short. They had been informed that
the Ciecuit Judge could not be on the bench,
but insisted that the attendance OF any two of
the i've District Judges of this Circuit could
be obtained for October If application were
Immediately made. The ease should be pre-
ferred to all other cases on the calendar, as it
was one which. while pending, suspended the
ordinary operation Of IN important function OF
the Government They therefore gave notice
TO the Government that they should not con-
sent TO any postponement of the trial beyond
tic October term.
TO this, the District Attorney for New-Jersey.

prosecution of the case, replied that the Gov

that there should he no delay.
May we not hope that here is one ease of
public importance which is not to be smothercd
by postponements or killed by the delays that

CONTINENTAL HARTESTS.

I'm France. the wheat-crop is reported ut less
than an average. Belgium and spain are so
deficient that they will be obliged to import,
and Poland is in but a little better condition.
Southern Russia will have large supplies, and
in Hungary the yield is SO heavy that even
now the railroads are unable to move all the
grain that offers, and store-houses are crowded.
Turkey, on both sides of the Bosphorus, is said
to have good crops. and will have something

The Democratic party in the West rejoices
in a richer specimen than even Vallandigham.
In Wisconsin, a fellow known as '' Brick POme-
"roy,r who edits a rank Democratic paper in
La Crosse, is regular Democratic canyasser,
working with a will for the Johnsonites. His
speeches are not as bright as they were three
years ago, as the following notice he gave OF
the late President Lincoln's murder will show:

Gen. Sheridan met with hearty reception
last evening. The military parade was exten

enthusiastic in their admiration for the hero of
the Shenandoah The guest of the evening
made no long speech; but none was needed.

in the memories of those who heard them amid
all the wild accOmpaniments of the battle

Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi is out with an
eight column letter reviewing the reconstruc-
ton measures, and recommending the people
of his State to go against a Convention. No
one would expect anything else of Mr.. Sharkey.
He agrees in most particulars with that volu-
minous epistle- writer, b. III. Hill of Georgia,
who prefers to remain out of the Union until
doomsday rather than voluntarily come in
In recent speech, Hill thus unburdened his
soul: IFtI
"If the hatred of those 10 whom we so honestly sur
rendered our Will It, il is better that we suffer them
10 die ten millions Of graves and hide within them the
ten millions OF Southern people uncoined and forgotten
than that we, with hands, should dig the ono
grave for our sense OF honor people and live forever
tne world hated and sehaung seutnels of its hopeless
wakeless DEATH"
Both Hill and Sharkey are loud in their
praise of the Presidents policy.

CIef Justice Wilson Of the Superior Court
of CIiicsgO has just decided an important case,
on which it is understood that large amounts
were incidentally depending. though the sum
directly in dispute was but about $4,000. The
parties were Schuchardt d Gebhardt Of this
city against Adele Williams, late Douglas
(widow of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglass her
present husband and others and this was tho
ground Of dispate
In the year 1858 (whcn making his famous
canvass against Abraham Lincoln for US.
SenatOr) Mr. Douglas borrowed $4,000 in cash
from James T.. Soutter, banker Of this city.
and gave as security for the loan mortgage
on certain valuable Out-lots in Chicago. This
mortgage was executed by Mr. Douglas and
his wife, and Gas was supposeD duly aclnowl-
edged by the, latter before III. kreissmann,
Notary Public, who, attested the fact but failed
TO set forth in his notarial certificate that
Mrs. Douglas was personality Iuorn to him.
That she actually wds so known, and that her
REIMBURSEMENT of dover was voluntary and
perfect, was not disputed but it was held that
the failure of the notary to set forth that fact
in his certificate had invalidated her relin-
quishment and authorized her to claim dover
as though no such deed had been given It
was held that law of Illinois, expressly
required the certificate to state the fact
in question, and that three several decisions
of the Courts of Illinois had affirmed
that position. The case was argued for
the plaintiffs (assignees of Soutter) by George
Shea, esq, of our City Bar, whose position ~
indorsed by the Chief-Justice in his opinion as
the true view of the question" and he con-
cludes II lhLE Al % tilLot-
IL am bound decide that the demurrer here is not
sufficient other words. that by her acknowledgement
as forth and admitted she Mrs DouglasJ did IN iact
convey her right OF dover. -
''The demurrer to the bill must be oyerruled."
Before the case was argued, the plalntfs
counsel offered to pay the defendants $1,000
if they would waive their demurrer. They de-
clined the offer, went to trial, and got nothing.

Wheat was sown throughout the country to
