HABEAS CORPUs.-An application for
writ OF this character was made to
Judge Hates, last week, under rather
peculiaf circumstances. 1t seems that
Mr.. J. Al. Daniels, with whom the read
ers of the ADVERTISER are somew hat
acquainted, having become infatuated
with spirtualisni, or something akin
thereto, concaived the idea that himself
and wife must separate; aud that, &C.
cordingly. the lady with her children
found home witt, her father, MR.. f.
L. Carey, Of this township. The desir-
ed separation having thus been effected,
Mr.. ID. would occasionally attempt to
visit his children at their grandfather's,
and be prevented by their mother from
seeing them; she very naturally think
ing that he had forfeited the rights Of a
father by renouncing the duties. Mr.
d. therefore applied for writ of haLeas
corpus to compel the grandfather, Mr..
Carey, to produce the children to his
demand. We understand that the Court
refused to grant the writ on the ground
that the children were in custody of
their mother, aud as between her and
their grand father, the latter could exer-
else no control over them, nor he made
responsible for their detention from
their Mther.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS DETRACr-
oRs.-The New York Times mentions
some facts worthy of attention in speak
ing in relation to the war that is being
made on General Grant. We were told
by the Democrats last year that there
would be deficiency in our revenues
for the fiscal year just closed of one hun
dred and fifty-four millions Of dollars.
But by greater care in the selection Of
trustworthy agents, aud by vigorous
enforcement Of the law, the revenues
have so rapidly increased that the direct
debt Of the Government has already,
since Grants inauguration, been reduced
between fo-ty-three and forty four mill
ions of dollars. The revenues from
whisky and tobacco alone have more
than doubled. A reduction of the army
from forty-eight regiments to twenty
five is to result in further saving of
many millions.
The effects Of the new policy Of the
Government towards the Indians cam
already known to make a further econo-
my in that direction that must be esti-
mated by millions. Our Federal securi-
ties are worth to day at least Syst, OO0,-
600 more than they were worth the day
our President was inauguratad, and are
advancing at the rate of ten or fifteen
millions week. There Is no doubt of
our ability to fund the entire national
debt within q year at rate Of interest
not exceeding four and a half per cent.
We are sure ola surplus at the end of
the current fiscal year of from Sl25 Co.,
600 to Sl5O, 600, 600, and it is no longer a
question that our revenues will justify q
large reduction in our Burning
ton HaUkeye.

The July Agricu,tUai Report en-
braces n condensed statement Of the
growing crops. Notwithstanding the
heavy rains and the low temperature
the reports concerning the wheat crop
are generally favorable. Kentucky,
West Virginia and Virginia producing
the best average crop, while in Wiscon-
sin and several Of the Northwestern
States the crop is considerably below
the average. The prospects for the
corn crop on the LIST of July were fully
upto the general average. The same
can be said Of the rye crop. In this
crop Delaware and Nebraska stand
foremost. The oat crop is reported fine
Especially IN Florida, Texas, Kansas
and Nebraska, which produce twenty
per cent. above the average yield, while
in all except Kentucky the crop is re-
ported - an average one. The other
crops all look favorable, especially po-
tatoes. The fruit crop Isl little below
the average in New England nnd New
York, and in the Southern States, and
above the average in the Middle and
most of the Western States. The straw
berry crop of this year was from ten to
thirty per cent. over that Of last
year.
