BANKRUPTCY ABUSES.

REGISTER FITCH ON THE DEVICES BY WHICH

Register Fitch has submitted an opinion in the case
OF Nicholas Il Coon, bankrupt leather and flower

action TO prevent them These bankrupls made an

The Register says that the assignment was mado to

cessary illegal and void, all OF which 1t must have been
known TO Foote and Town, would expense to the
creditors and would in any manner aid tho bank

in involuntary bankruptcy II has been tho prevailing
custom In this city, no says, for even reputable law
yers TO advise their clients who may bo Ia failing cir

suspended nsolvent laws and have some clerk Of

general rule between tho lnsolvcnt the lawyer ana

These fraudulent State assignments should receive
the stern rcbuko OF the courts and the assignee should
not be allowed to uso up tho estate between the law

the Bankrupt act In this case the proofs show that
Mr. Town acted as attorney Tor the bankrupts before

AN encouraging exhibit Of the corn
crop raised in the United States this
year is contained in the December re-
port of; The Bureau Of Agriculture.
The aggregate is about one billion two
hundred and ninety-five million bush
els. The yield is 3per cent. less than
it was last year-though larger pro-
duct by 80 per cent. than the crop Of
1874. The crop last year, it should be
remembered, was q superabundant
one. There neel be no apprehension,
therefore, that the current supply of
corn bread or corn whisky will be
short next year. 1t is estimated that
New England's proportion ofthis crop
is about per cent. or less; the Mid
die States, 6 per cent; the Southern
States, 20 per cent; the Ohio Basin A
and west of the Mississippi 80 per
cent. The increase in the South OF
the crop over previous years is 10000
