In the United States Circuit Court to,
day Judge Dillon delivered decision ol
considerable importance. The case was
the assignee OF John F. Darby, plaintiff
CS' the Boatmen's Savings Institution and
same plaintiff, against Jos. H. Lucas, the
action being to recover certain stocks and
bonds IN possession OF the defendants at
the time OF Darby's failure, and which, il
was claimed, belonged to his creditors,
The Judge held that the effort of o man,
really and technically bankrupt, to evade
the law, or make preference, only in the
hope of extricating himself, could not be
overturned in the usual course of busi-
ness, and even if his intentions were
fraudulent, 10 give preference or evade
the law, as believed, the bankrupt and
the third persons guilt must be brought
home to the party with whom he deals, to
enable the assignee to recover.

The Corn Crop.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
The corn crop Is now generally har'
vested, and reports from all parts of the
country concur In the statement that 1t Is
the best which has rewarded the labora
of the farmer for years past. In almost
every portion Of Indiana, Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska and Minnesota, corn Is offered
In the cribs at from ten 10 fifteen cents per
bushel; while information from Illinois
shows an equally enormous yield, and
the crop in Kentucky surpasses all pre-.
Cedent. Taken In connection with the
plentiful supply Of wheat, this abundance
Of the great cereal cannot but be o
source OF great satisfaction to the entire
country, more particularly to the South,
where, although tho planters this year
devoted larger acreage to corn than In
any year since the war, unpropitious sea.
sons have in many places destroyed or
greatly lessened the crop, rendering nee.
essarY the purchase OF larger quantities
to make up the deficit. Cheap corn also
insures cheap bacon and pork, articles so
extensively consumed by the masses
everywhere; and there seems every prob.
ability that large as was last years hog
crop, II will be exceeded by the product
Of the present season, so that prices will
unquestionably rule low; q matter ofvery
great Importance TO the people OF the

Theodore Triton Defines His Greed
ON Love and Matrim0ny.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.
Theodore Tilton has addressed n letter
TO the Chicago journal, which is pub.
lished this afternoon, in which he gives
his views OF marriage and divorce. lie
gives an epitome Of his creed as follows
II believein the love Of one man and
woman, these twain, these only, and these
to the uttermost. SO long as this pair
faithfully love each other, neither Of the
two Is free to seek elsewhere for another
mate. To do so would, in my view, be
treachery TO human nature, and crime
against love. | believe that this pure
love between two cOngenial breasts, each
finding heatt's thse in the other, Is the
only moral and possible Justification
OF nny union whether Of marriage or
otherwise, by which these twain become
one flesh. believe that marriage cove.
nant Is contract whose essential terms
are 10 love, to honor and to cherish, re.
mains in force according as the two par.
ties continue TO love, to honor and TO
cherish, and is ipSo fdct0 ended when, in
stead Of loving, they hate, and instead Of
honoring they dispise, and instead Of
cherishing, they lOathe. ] believe that the
civil law in compelling either or both
parties to such a broken contract TO abide
together MS husband and wife Is com.
pulsion, for which find no sanction In
the Christian religion, and is the greatest
despotism in the existing legislation Of
States or nations.

New York Democratic State Con.

New YORK, October 8.
An immense number OF politicians took
their departure last night to attend the
Rochester Convention, Numerous Tam
many roughs and repeaters have been
sent free to that city. There are appre.
tensions that the disgraceftll scenes Of last
year will be repeated. -Four of the Tam.
many delegates decline to act. Charles
OConner, chairman Of the reform delegA.
tion, will leave to-day If his health per.
mits No compromise whatever will be
accepted by tho anti.Tammany delegation.
A correspondent who has been around
among the leading Democratic politicians
of the State, writes that there Is every.
where the strongest feelings ofindignati0n
against the Tammany ring. i,. ...
Gov. Seymour, among Others, Is opposed
to the admission OF representatives from
Tammany Hall to the State Convention,
but on the whole thinks that the question
should be met in fair way, and that cor
ruption wherever existing should be de-
nounced. Gov. Seymour will probably
be made permanent President
The indications are that there will be
no contest In the organization of the Con.
vention, and tllat the Tainmany delega.
tion will not press tor admission.
ROCHESTER,, Oct. 3.
The Indications are that the Demo-
cratic State Convention will be more
largely attended by spectators than was
the Republican Convention. All the ho-
tells are immensely crowded.
The leaders are busy discussing the
prospects Of the Convention. The talk Is
that the Tammany delegates are to be
ruled out, because, as one Of them said,
"there arc votes enough 10 do IT,"
Up to 0 o'clock this evening there was
no change In the situation of the New
York delegation question. Among those
named as candidates for the nominations
are the following Secretary Of State, r.

Senator Tweed and r. Fields reached
this city with a large delegation of New
Yorkers at about II O'clock this evening.
On entering the Osborne House Tweed

ances indicate severe fight in the Con-
vention tomorrow.
1t Is stated that the State Committee
proposed as temporary chairman to the
Tammany ring one Of It's bitterest enc
mics, and the proposition was promptly
and Indignantly rejected.
Reports are in circulation that twenty
car loads Of roughs arc on the way to this
city from New York, and that the police
will be brought to the Convention In
strong force to preserve order. L. Robin
