CHICAGO, August 1O.-At the custom
house this morning a consultation be.
tween the following named officers was
held: Special Agent Kinds, Of Chicago
Special Agent II. S. Kimball, Of boston
Customs Inspector Jackson, of New York ;
and Customs Inspector Fox, OF Toronto,
Canada. The object Of the gathering is as
follows: About two weeks ago ii was dis
covered by a Special Agent ut Toronto
that Detroit firm was exporting domestic
tobacco and passing itoff for pure Havana
tobacco. He reported the facts to the
authorities at Washington, and an inves-
tigation was ordered. This disclosed the
fact that the firm had been surreptitiously
engaged for q long time in extracting
Havana tobacco out OF the United States
bonded warehouse at Detroit and putting
in its place poor domestic tobacco. The
investigation also disclosed the fact that
the swindle was Of gigantic proportions,
and that Uncle Sam had been cheated out
OF SIC, 900 worth OF duties in this way. II
was also discovered that certain Chicago
people were interested in the matter, and
an effort will be made to unearth them.

A NEW SCARE.

As the southern outrage mill don't seem l"
be sufficiently active to satisfy the stalwarts'
the papers of that ilk have attempted to start
a new scare to the effect that the Democrats,
whea they get into power, intend so TO re-or'
ganizc the [. :. Supreme Court rs to secure
decision against the constitutlonallty oil Inc
amendments The stalwars themselves hav-
ing set the example Of reconStrucling the court
SO US to get opinions TO order, naturally con
cludc that the Democrats are equally dishonest
We have, however, yet the first Democrat TO
hear of who proposes in the slightest degree to
disturb the 18TH 14th and 18th amendment.
The idea of the Supreme Court which Itself
Is the creature of the constitution, passing up
on the validity Of that instrument, involves at
the outset an absurdity. The amendments
were made by congress ratified by the states,
then returned to congress and duly authentl-
Gated and then published by the executive.
An assertion by the Supreme Court of the pow
er to 90 behind the broad seal of the executive,
and review and nullify their acts is too ndlcu-
lous to have entered the head of any one by
the crazIest kind of stawart. Suppose 1t IS
all true, as the Aurora Beac0n suggests, that IN
reality IL sufficient number Of states did not
ratify the amendments, several northern states,
after such ratification having withdrawn it,
and several southern states not having been
properly reconstructed when they ratified; yet,
congress and the executive having certified to
the regularity of the ratification, IN what way
is the Supreme Court to get behind that certifi-
cate and pronounce it untrue? The thing is
too ridiculous to justify serious discussion,

SOME CROP FIGURES.

Illinois, though claiming to be rather corn
than wheat state, raised more wheat this year
than any other state IN the Union, her crop be.
ing 46, 100000 of bushels, against Michigan,
next highest, at 100000. Mr.. j. O. Mellen,
of Chicago, a we'll known expert in such mat
tiers, figures the total wheat crop of the United
States for the present year at AL 100000 bush
els, of which we can spare for foreign export
about l65 100000 bushels AS to the demand
for this surplus abroad, Mr.. Mellen figures the
European requirement for the present year
at 49,, 100000 bushels, of which all the world
aside from the United States, can furnish but
81 600 900, thus after exhausting the surplus
of the United States and all the othe: wheat
producing countries, still leaving an absolute
deficiency of 62,0OO,OO0.
These figures would be alarming were itno
that to a considerable extent wheat can be sup
plemented by corn, and probably Will be, bu
should the value of wheat increase IN pro
portion to the apparent shortage, and the gen
eral market run its usual course, the bulls anc
bears would be apt to have lively times before
spring.
The corn crop of Illinois is estimated t.
reach the enormous aggregate of 25O,ooo,Oo'
bushels and it is estimated that the entire
farm products of the state for 1879 will reaci
in value $200000,000, or double the aggregate
value of the annual gold and silver product
the whole country.
