The Brookiyn Election Frou.Is.

Judge PRATT behaved very strangely yes.
ter lay for an officer of public justice. With
out any prcmoniton he suddenly made his
appearance on the bench of the Court Of
Oyer and Terminer, of which he was not
member, and decided most remarkable mo-
ton made before him two months ago, anu
allowed TO sleep ever since. This motion was
that in tho election fraud cases the District
Attorney, who is prosecuting the scoundrcls
that have corrupted the ballot.box, shall be
compelled to furnish to the defendants, two
days before trial, the names OF all the wit.
ncsses who are 10 appear on the trial. and the
names of all persons present during the
alleged fraudulent canvass, with u speciica.
ton of the various acts which these persons
beheld.
This decision is unworthy of any Judge
and whatever may have been the mot yes Of
Judge PRATT in making it, its only effect is
to protect the guilty parties in their crimes
against the people. The names Of the wit
ncsscs HIe desired in order that they may be
tompered with and why Judge PRATT
should allow his authority TO be used for such
purposes is mystery which we cannot
solve.
Notwithstanding the evident disposi.
ton OF some OF the Judges in tho Second
District to favor those charged with ballot
box stuffing aud dishonest counting Of votes,
we understand that District Attorney Norris
intends TO go on with these trials. Judge
GILBERT presides in the Court of Oyer and

THE RICE CRoP.-The New York Daily Bule-
tin, OF the oath instant, makes the following COM
ments on the rice crop Of South Carolina and
Georgia:
Ir our issue Of November T. we published an
item on the production OF rice In Georgia and
South Carolina in which we stated that these TWO
States would produce crop In excess OF last
year. The basis OF tails calculation was furnished
BY prominent Southern paper, which, being pub
lished In the rice growing region, was supposed
to be good authority for an estimate OF The
years. crop. We have received letter from the
South, with the following statement, which dis
putes our estimate, but which we give for the
benefit OF our readers: "The crop OF Georgia and
South Carolina will prove tribe short Of last year.
The grain Is very much lighter and OF poorer
qualify. The crop in Louisiana Is short beyond
question, and we are shipping to New Orleans
every week. There Is large amount OF rough
rice in store In savannah, and mills are working
night and day." This statement Is from busi.
ness house in the South OF high standing. 1t Is
difficult, however, to arrive at any de1nite con:
clusion with regard TO this crop. The circular OF
Messrs. Willis & Chis0lm, Of Charleston, 8. u,
estimates the crop for 1871 at casks against
an actual crop in 1870 Of T35 casks, which crop
was estimated ut $1,000, difference in favor Of
the actual crop Of 2735 casks The circular OF
Messrs. Cohen, Hanckel & Co. rice factors, Of
Charleston, gives the estimated crop for 1871 In
Carolina at 600 casks, and 10 Louisiana at 20 000
giving total OF 1000 against an actual crop last
year OF 81, 1886, thereby making an estimated de-
crease OF 7735 casks for the present year.
