every one may ascertain the amount now due,
and not walt for bill before proceeding TO
make remittance. We wish this matter 10 be
plainly understood, as we do not wish to be
forced to the conclusion that any one is unwill-
ing TO pay for the paper, much less desire to
impose an additional tax upon us. Aside from
this we need money, badly, and must procure 1t

Interesting Case.-ln October, 1868, Edward
Provost made a wager Of 500, with Archibald
Given, that Jacob Richardson, who was then a
Candidate for Sheriff had belonged to the Union
League, an organization which met in the Sa-
villo building Tho money was deposited in
the hands of Benjamin q. Pearce, who was to
pay II over to the winning party, when convin-
ced Of the truth or falsity ofthe assertion. The
constitution of the League was procured, and
among the names appended to 1t, was that of
Jacob Richardson. For some reason, however,
Mr. Pcarce declined to pay the ''stakes" 10
Provost, and in a short time afterwards he was
notified that suit would be brought to compel
him 20 do so. It was accordingly insti uted at
the November term of the q urt. In the month
Of December however he paid the money over TO
Given, taking all indemnfymg bond to secure
its return 10 him in case OF a verdict for the plain
Till. The case came up at the May term in
1869, when Mr.. Bayard getting hold of the con-
stitution Of the League, and finding the name
Vi Mr. Richardson appended thereto, ilnmedi-
aiely made motion to have the suit ruled out
on the ground that bets Of this character zero
at variance with public morality and against
the policy Of the State, and the Court so ruled.
Had Mr.. Dayard not have been convinced of
the hopelessness of his case, had he not been
satisfied that the verdict would have been
unfavorable 10 his client, lie would not have
made any such motion. Notwithstanding
this manoeuvre, however, the parties persistent
ly held Gil 10 the money belonging To Provost,
and lie consequently instituted suit before
magistrate TO recover the same. lie obtained
judgment for the amount, when the parties APP
pealeI and carried the case TO Court, where il
came up last Friday for final determination.-
George G. Gordon appeared as Counsel for
Provost and thomas II. Bayard for Pearce.
On Monday ming the charge Of the Court
was made to the jury, and after the lapse of
number OF hours verdict was rendered in
favor Of Provost. A clearer case of attempted
wrong never came before the Couit, and we
are surprised that even sporting gentlemen could
have found excuses or apologies for its perpe
tration. IL seems, however, that had the money
been paid over to Given without reservation of
any kind, prior to no.ic. having been served
on the stakeholder, not to do 50, the money
very likely could not have been recovered from
Peatea. The proof Of notice having been given
however connected with the bond OF indemnity,
secured verdict for the purity justly entitled
TO it. a similar bet was made by John W.
Griffith and Mr.. Meaey,anl it was dsterm ned
by agreement On the proceedings in the case

Inanches who have recently been raid

state government, and establish
Gordon OF scouts along

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE SPAN


SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE SPAN
IsH CONSUL
New YORK, October IO.-Maria Ur-
bach, who was taken into custody with
two Spaniards, charged with robbing
the Bank of Commerce in Havana, yes
terday accused the Spanish CONSUL of
robbing her of her money and diamonds
and draft for seventeen thousand dol
lars. The affidavit declares that these
things were taken from her baggage on
board the steamship City Of Mexico,
under false pretenses. The trial Is set
for October 10th.
CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT.
A motion was made yesterday before
Judge Barrett, in the suit of Robert
Hamilton against Lester Wallack, to
compel the plaintiff to accept defend
ants answers as served. Hamilton, who
is cOlored, with two companions, also
coloued, bought tickets and attempted
to enter Wallack's theater, but were de-
MED admission. Wallaek was sued by
each separately for five thousand dol
lars damages, they claiming that their
exclusion was in violation of the civil
rights bill. The defendants answer
was served unverified, and was rejected
on that ground.
GREENBACKs.
There is q very early prospect Of put
ting an end to the pooling arrangement
for greenbacks. Many old and pru-
dently managed banks are restive under
the arrangement, and desire the liberty
of managing their own greenbacks, as
well as national bank notes, and receive
and pay them across their counters.
Their receipts cannot be made as free as
before suspension so long as there is a
discount on bank checks in Wall street,
and they insist on the resumption of
payment in notes, greenbacks. or na-
tional currency across their counters.
No day has been named for the meeting
of the clearing house banks to relax the
existing arrangements, but the proba-
bility is it will not be later than Satur-
day or Monday next. Vermilye, presi-
dent of the Merchants bank, says he
will not be surprised il within the next
two or three days the banks give up
pooling, and pay greenbacks over their
counters as formerly. He also states
that the banks have gained half q
million dollars within the last three
days.
STOKES.
The trial of Edward Stokes was re-
sumed this morning, and the work of
elnpanneling the jury was continued
until the same was exhausted, without
obtaining jury, when new panel was
ordered, and the court adjourned till to-
morrow.
THE NATHAN MURDERER.
Irving had private examination to-
day, when he told all he knew about
the Nathan murder. His story has not
been made public.

CROP NEWS.
Reports TO October LIST as Received at
the Office Of the "NatiOnaI Crop
Reporter"

JACKSONVILLE, ILL, October l0.-Re-
ports dated October lst, received at the
Office Of the National Crop Reporter in
dicate a slightly increased loss on corn
in Illinois, Maine and Ohio. 1t IS esti-
mated that the losses in the States men,
toned are respectively, IA 7-l0, Z lilo,
1870 per cent. Reports from all quarters
agree almost unanimously that but little
damage has been effected by the recent
frosts. but confirm the report Of serious
injury by frost in the latter part of Sep
tember, at which time most of the corn
was in milk. The result will be great
deal of soft corn, much of which cannot
be fed to stock. Reports from Iowa
are that loss on corn as
compared with this year, Of only six.
and the Northern Pacific, which would
make yield for this year Of 129, 900, 900
bushels. As far as can be learned the
acreage of wheat sown this fall is very
considerably greater than in 1872, and
thus faI in most sections the weather
has been favorable for its grewth. Ad-
dltional reports from MinpeSasG, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas and
Ohio confirm the estimated falling of
of the Iris potato crop in these States,
which, in 1870, Produced over 100000
bushels. The loss at the given rate
would aggregate over 100000 bushels.
Scattering reports from the cotton States
mention that much damage had been
caused TO the late cotton by drought,
especially in Arkansas and Tennessee.
