# The Corn CROP OF 1S67.-The
monthly report of the Depart
ment OfAgriculture for November
and December, 1867, gives the es-
timatesl amount of corn produced
in the United States last year.
These estimates lay no claim to
being entirely correct-they are
simply the nearest approximation
to correctness that can be made
from the data accessible to the
department.
The total production of all the
States and Territories in 1867 is
estimated at 775,S2O,000 bushels,
which is about 53,000,000 bushels
less than the census returns of the
crop IN 1860. The greatest corn
producing State is, of course, Hi
nois, the estimated crop of this
State for the year being 109,O91,- )
600 bushels; the next, Indiana,
with SO,757,OOO bushels; next Ohio,
i &.
64,OOO,O00; next Iowa, 53,333,OO0.
Missouri and Tennessee are each
estimated at about 50,000,000
bushels; Michigan is credited with
10, 49, 900 bushels; Wisconsin with
nearly 100000; Minnesota with

THE BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA
AND THE CREDIT OF THE STATE.

The telegraph has reported the fact ofthe
passage of bill by the South Carolina Leg
islature, repudiating the foreign claims
against the Bank of the State, and author
izing the Governor to take possession of the
assets The Charleston Courier gives the
following statement of the case:
"Dabney, Morgan & Co., as holders of
the bills of the Bank of the State, on behalf
Of themselves and others, some time since
filed their bill in the Court of Equity, claim
ing that the assets of the bank should be sold
and the proceeds applied to the payment of
the notes Of the bank which were outstsnd-
ing. The Barring Brothers & Co., of London,
and others Of this country, who are the hold
ers and owaers of the bonds known az the
fire loan bonds, filed their answers, setting
up the following rights: First, That by the
act Of the lst of June, A. d. 1888, entitled,
AN act for rebuilding the city of Charles
ton,' it was declared that it shall be the
duty of the president and directors of the
Bank of South Carolina TO make proper pro-
vision for the punctual payment Of the in
terest Of such loans as may be effected upon
the credit of the State, under the provisions
of this act, and also for the ultimate pay
ment of the principal thereof h".
Second, That by the other sections Of
the act the assets of the bank were made
directly responsible to the holders of the
bonds, and that these, therefore, had a spe-
cial claim az creditors Of the bank as a cor
poration and upon the assets of the same,
as well az upon the State itself Third,
That the assets of the bank were, therefore,
under the existing laws of the Legislature,
pledges of the past, liable primarily to the
payment of the fire loan bonds and then to
the outstanding bills and notes, and that
any other construction would impair the
obligations Of contracts and be contrary to
good faith, equity or conscience. The mer-
its of this cause are now pending before the
Court of Equity. It has been submitted to
the law, and by the law il should be deter
mined. In fact, it cannot legally be other
wise, for by the provisions of even the ex-
isting statutes it is declared that the Chan
cellors of the Court Of Equity shall, until
the first day of January, A. ID. 1869, Con
tinue 10 discharge the duties and functions
Of their respective offices for the disposition
of causes which are now pending. And
this IS one Of the cases now pending 1t il
clear, therefore, that the Assembly in Col
umbia is neither competent TO decide the
important legal questions involved, ncr has
il the authority. 1t is simply another at
tempt at Radical legislation without regard
10 the recognized tribunals Of the State
and which can only end in confusion anc
injustice. In other words, il is a matter en-
tirely for the courts Of the country, and no
| for the legislative department"

TALE OF A LOST SWORD.
Frnm lho 49, O. Telerrnrh.

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
At the battle of Gettysburg Lieut.. A. A..
Freeman, of the Floyd Rifles, Macon, was
severely wounded, and while lying disabled
on the field, dispatched a servant with his
sword and lrappings back to the Coniede-
rate lines. Ga his way, bearing this sword
and two others, the boy was captured by
Federal officer, who took possession of the
swords. This summer, the foreman Of our
Job office, Mr.. Ricks, while on ramble
North, encountered the captoE, who, learn
ing that Mr.. r. resided ia Macon, inquired
for Lieut. Freeman, saying that be had a
sword in possession presented 10 such an
officer by the Floyd Rifles. On Mr.. Kicks
assurance that Lieut.. Freeman was still
alive and we'll, a return of the weapon was
promised, and last Saturday it came by eX-
press, with very gentlemanly letter, Of
which the following is the concluding para

THE REVOLUTION IN THE POLITICS
OF THE NEGROES.
Correspondence Of the Memphis Ledger.

Correspondence Of the Memphis Ledger.
LAGRANGE, TENN, Aug. 24.-There is
still considerable political excitement here
and in the vicinity, particularly among the
colored voters, who have been greatly
"stirred up" by the speeches of John +.
Harris, Jackson Jones, Marengo johnson,
Barley Mitchell, Lawrence J Johnson, and
questionably true that great change in
the political views of the freedmen has
begun and is now happily progressing I'M
der the most favorable circumstances.
Clubs are being organized at nearly all the
county and cross-road towns in this end of
the State, and, from what CLEAN from the
papers, infer the same thing is going on
sllAOver the South. A Seymour and Blair
colOred club has just been organized at
Bolivar, with a large and constantly in
creasing roll of members. The same may
be said Of Whiteyille, Newcastle, Salisbury,
Grand Junction, Hickory Valley, and this
plaoe. The colored speakers, Jones, John-
son and Mitchell, who went down to Mem
phis yesterday, will return in day or two,
and continue the good work in all parts of
the adjacent region in Tennessee. These
ethcient speakers and workers deserve well
of the party, and should have their hands
strengthened to go ahead and to 'hold out
faithful to the end" They and theif coad-
tutors, Harris and Lawrence johnson, have
made not less than six hundred converts
in the last two or three weeks in the neigh
boring country. IL they go on as tEey have
begun, two months from to-day a black
Radical will be as hard to find in these
parts as white one. Notwithstanding the
hard times, am happy TO be able to state
that the Lagrange Female College will be-
gin its next annual session on the first day
OF September (next week. under very favor
able auspices. ThePresident, Mr.. Meredith,
is one of the most indomitsble workers, az
well as one Of the most accomplished schol-
ars in the country, and knows no snct, word

THECOTTON CROP.

appeared in the eastern part of Shelby

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of the ed
inst. says the reports from Southern and
Southwestern Georgia are very gloomy.
The cotton yield is going to be light-un-
expectedly light. Do sa'1. ..l ha.a tl.l
The Tuscaloosa, Ala, Monitor says:
'tWe have received various reports rela-
tive to the crop prospects for this year.
Some planters are jubilant over the prom
ise of a good cotton yield, whilst Others
are despondent, and already complain Of
the worm and rOt The weed is every
where luxuriant in growth, and We hope
that the weather may continue dry for
some weeks, as no more rain is needed In
this section. Enough corn will be made,
and our farmers are busted in gathering
fodder" r,-. ..--...
The Selma (Ala.) Times and Messenger
of the 1lth inst. says:
"The army worm is committing its raw
ages in almost every cotton field in this
portion Of Dallas county, and more serious
still, we hear of the boil worm in many
sections. In some fields all the smaller
bolls are destroyed already. Between
them, we greatly fear the crop in this
county iand the counties adjoining at least
will be cut short" - . ..
