THE CROPS.
In the Country Tributary to Memphis
the Outlook is OF the Most Encour-
aging Character-AIl the Crops
Except wheat Abundant

MEMPHIS, July 10, 1878.
To the President and Board of Directors Of the
Memphis Cotton Exchange:
GENTLEMEN-We respectfully submit the
following report, in response to lnterrogato-
RES dated and mailed June 18th. The report
is derived from l37 responses, average date
July lst, to-wit: 40 from West Tennessee,
80 North Mississippi, 48 Arkansas north Of
Arkansas river), North Alabama, 10. The
latter Is not included in our aggregate, not
being embraced IN territory allotted US by the
National cotton exchange. We deem it prop
er to state that since the close of June it has
r;.ined every day In this region, with temper
AZURE warm and sultry. Such weather serl-
ously increases the complaints in regard to
excessive growth, and consequent shedding of
forms; also OF rust and growth of grass and
weeds in crops lacking cultivation. To-day
we are having clear warm weather. which, If
continued week, will place all crops in very
hattering condition. Our region of country
is to be congratulated upon the very favorable
promise of an abundant harvest in all other
crops save that of wheat, which has been so
seriously cut off by rust. The morale of la
Dor, as shown by our report, Is of the most
gratifying nature. Very respectfully,
SAMUEL NJ. GATES, Chairman.

An Important Decision.


For several years there has been grow
ing tendency to fly to the federal courts
with cases that ought to be settled in the
state courts. So oppressive has this ten
dency become that the democratic state
conventions of Indiana and Illinois have
incorporated in their platform resolutions
denouneing this tendency. and calling for
change of law 10 order to stop it.
There is no need of change in the law.
The secret of this scandalous and oppres
sive practice has just been developed, in
case tried in the United States courts and
in decision rendered by Justice Miller,
and published in the National Democrat
of Sunday morning.
The secret of this scandalous and oppres-
sive practice in this
Under state laws in every state, in cases
of foreclosure, the mortage has years
time for redemption. aud his judges
ment creditors three months more,
making period of fifteen months before
final deed under the sale could be given.
This would be the course if cases were
| brought under the state courts. But tor a long
series of years the inferior federal courts,
with singular disregard of law, of justice,
of private rights, of equity, or the higher
principles of humanity, have directed their
marshals and masters in chancery, in cases
of foreclosure, to sell, after 100 days
notice, a0ithout redemption, thus stripping
the debtor. mereilessly and clean, at one
lick, of both property and rights,
Eastern loaniug corporations and CAPT =
talists have Noticed this practice, and have
consequently, when forclosing on western
debtors-and eastern debtors, too-resort-
ed to the federal instead of the state court
for their proceedings for foreclosure. IL
this way the federal courts have been
loaded down with business. ruinously eX'
penses to debtors, but fat for the judges
and officers Of the federal courts. The
loppressiyeness of this thing has provoked
Inquiry and investigation; and as above
d stated democratic state convention of lEdi
ana and Illinois have resolved against it
But Judge Miller has laid bare the whole
scandal, by deciding that the federal court
in cases OF foreclosure must be governed b.

A REPORTED POISONING CASE.

THE ALLEGED VICTIM DEAD-A WOMAN IN
THE CASE, ETC.
We came into possession of information,
yesterday, which, if true, points tothe com
mission Of great crime which resulted as
it was manifestly intended it should, in the
death of the victim of it, We give the in
formation as VIC received it, vouching for
the correctness Of none Of it, although we
have no reason for disbelieving any of it.
The story runs thus: Up to a few days
ago negro woman, named Brown, resided
with her unmarried daughter, somewhere
in the neighborhood Of Poplar and TWEEN
tieth street. An unmarried negro man,
named Bud Bowman. who lived on Twenty
second street, WAS on terms of familiarity
with the daughter, whom the mother was
determined should marry somebody else
Bowman was the obstacle in the way, his
influence over the girl being so great
that she would do nothing con
trarv to his wishes. or course it
wes his wish that she should not marry
the other fellow and this wish the girl OBJ
serced despite the cntreaties and importuni-
ties of the mother Thus matters rested
until Wednesday or Thursday last, when, as
Is alleged, the mother conceived the horrible
idea of putting Bowman out of the way.
In pursuance Of this wicked resolve she by
some means possessed herself Of some ar
scnc or strychnine, which she mixed with
a quantity Of gin. This poisoned gin, we
are told was placed into the hands Of a
third party. As this party may have been

the brain and nervous system are all imme-

liver. 1t has been successfully proved that

innocent Of any purpose to do wrong, we
withhold his name. He met Bowman some
where on Twentieth street, and offered him
the fatal drink, Bowman at first refused,
but being urged to drink, put the bottle to
his lips and took hearty swallow or two
In few minutes he was seized with dir
illness, which, continuing to increase, he had
to have assistance in reaching home. Once
there he was placed in bed, where he re-
NAMED until Sunday morning, when he
died. Meanwhile the woman left the city;
but it is thought that she may be found in
the neighborhood of Hodges park. Bow
mans remains were inferred in the Seven.
mile graveyard, on the afternoon of the day
upon which he died.
These are all the particulars at hand We
met several colored persons who claimed to
have some knowledge Of the affair but as
they did not relish the idea of being brought
before the court, we could get but little out
of them Ola certainty, we can only say
this, that Bowman is dead, and that there is
profound impression among certain color
ed people Of the neighborhood, that he was
fouly dealt with. Any additional informa-
ton or any confirmation of that already
given, that we may receive to-day, will be
given to our readers tomorrow.
