MISCELLANEOUS.

The agricultural report of November
and December says that November returns
indicate that the corn crop Of 1875 was one
of the largest ever grown in the country,
probably equaling the very large crops of
1870 and 1872. II is at least fourth greater
than the crop of 1874, and about third
alrger than the crop of 1869. Every section
of the Union reports some increase. The
potato crop is extraordinary in both product
and quality. The yield in districts reported
n one-fourth greater than last year. In
rainy sections the sweet potato crop suffered
in yield and quality from excessive moisture.
In the Gulf states and west of Mississippi,
the Yield largely exceeded that Of last year !;
the quality is about average. The cotton
crop will pass the limit Of four million bales
New England reports good hay crop, but
in other states the quality was much dam
aged by rains. The November returns indi-
cate an increase in the tobacco yield Of over
seyenty-fve per cent. as compared with last
year, when partial failure was experienced.
All the large tobacco states show marked
increase in production, especially Tennessee
and Kentucky. The year has been mostly
one of disaster to fruitgrowers. The buck
wheat crop-equals that Of last year. An ex-
traordinary increase in the sorghum crop
over last year is indicated in the southern
states and in the Mississippi valley.

LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
FROM WASMNGTON.

The secretary of interior now holds
in trust for certain Indians, stocks and bonds
the par value of which is about five million
dollars. He says it seems to him that the
United States treasurer should be the proper
custodian of this property, and,s therefore,
sends to congress the draft of bill provid-
ing for such custody The secretary has sent
to the house of representatives the draft of n
bill extending the tenth section Of the In.
dian appropriation act of 1870 to all indian
agents, sub-agents and special agents, so as to
require satisfactory bonds of them, and max
ing false entries in thier bonds, misdemean-
or punishable by fine of five hundred or a
thousand dollars, at the discretion Of the
court. At present, the law applies to only
part of the agents.
The agricultural report for November

indicate that the corn crop of 1875 was one
of the largest ever grown in the country,
probably equaling the very large crops of
1870 and 1879. 1t is at least one-fOurth
greater than the crop Of 1869. Every Sec
ton OF the Union reports some increase. The

ported, it is one-fourth greater than last year.

marked increase in production, especially

Young, and asks for further legislation. The
labor of the supreme court and the court of
claims are alluded to, and it is suggested
that such legislation be had as will enable
the latter court, aided by the attorney gen
eral, to increase the safeguards against all
improper testimony by devising different
means of taking it, and to force old cases to
an early trial or require them to be dis
missed without the power OF restoration. To
these ends, he proposes, after consultations
with the court to draft a bill and submit it
to the present Congress
The point at issue between the United
States and Spain is stated in non-ofiicial
but usually well-informed circle, as follows:
The United States asks, first, that in future
all American citizens in Cuba accused of
violating law shall be tried by civil courts
and not by military tribunals, all the rights
in such cases being secured by the seventh
article, treaty of 1896; and, second, that all
sentences where American citizens have
heretofore been tried by military tribunals,
shall be annuled. Spain agrees to concede
the claim of the first proposition, agreeing
that in future American citizens accused OF
violating law shall be tried by ordinary tri-
bunals, with the right to be heard by counsel,
to summon witnesses and employ all other
necessary safeguards to the accused, but with
the reservation that all such trials shall be
according to the law of 1921, which provides
for more expeditions proceedings than those
Of civil courts for common crimes in times
o peace, and also offers to revise all SEN
tences passed by court martial on our citi-
zens where it shall be satisfactorily shown
that such sentences were in violation of the
established laws. The reply is unsatisfac
tory to the United States, which takes the
ground that American citizens accused of
crimes can not be tried by court-martial, but
are entitled to a trial by civil tribunals only |
as secured by treaty stipulation, without such |
reservation as is proposed by Spain.

According toE Bremen dispatches,
Thomas, a passenger on the Mosel, and the
owner of the cask of dynamite, which caused
the terrible disaster at Bremenhayen, has
confessed his guilt, saying that he had ac-
completes in New York. The motive for
this diabolical scheme appears to have been
to procure an exaggerated and fictitious in
surance, and to share afterwards with the
others.
1t is stated that Thomas, alias Thomp-
son, had his clock work made by a mechanic
named Fuchs, residing at Bernburg. The
apparatus was constructed to run noiselessly
