INDICTED.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
Among indictments by the criminal
court, by the grand jury to-day, was
one against Geo. w. Ingalls,, formerly
U. S. Indian agent at the Piute
agency, for presenting false vouchers;
one for 1921, and one for 1854, in1S7S.
1t is alleged that ingalls, was defaulter
to the amount of about 100000 to the
government. Ingalls, is said to be some
where out west.
NOT INSANE.
Col. Henry G. Denham, who was
formerly U. S. collector atSitka, was
before the grand jury to-day, complain
ing that local paper had published
him as an insane person, and danger
ous. Deham says this publication
had done him great injury.
The grand jury advised him
to sue for damages-said he was too
poor, and the jury promised to look
into his case after recess. bahama
complained that Secretary Sherman
had him removed as collector; and
two years ago there was a talk of his
having threatened Sherman with vio-
lence, and Treasurer Waslchman was
ordered not to let him into the treas
ury.
GUITEAUs CASE.
The grand jury Of the criminal court
appeared before court at l o'clock
this p. m. District Attorney Corkhill
in short address said, when he asked
that the grand jury should not be held
until after the Fourth Of July, nobody
expected or dreamed of so great a
crime being committed, as an
attempt on the life of the presi-
dent. This crime was one which
everybody admitted at the time would
demand prompt and certain punish
meat in case of a fatal result to the
president. He had therefore deemed
it his duty to hold the grand jury to
await the result of the presidents in
juries. While all the country are deep
ly grateful that the president is in a
fair way Of recovery it cannot yet be
told Just what elton must or should be
taken toward the punishment of the
would be assassin. The district attor-
ney then read note addressed to him
by the surgeon attending the president,
in reply to an official request from him
as to the presidents case and his recov-
cry. This note was signed by DR.. Bliss
and the other three surgeons. Itwas that
while the president has up to the pres
sent time done exceedingly well and we
anticipate his recovery, we cannot
assert with confidence that his injuries
may not result fatally.
Col. Cockrell said that in view of this
condition of the president, he would
move that the grand jury be discharged
until September -; and the court SO
ordered. So nothing will be done with
Guiteau, not even towards indicting
him, before fall.
CROPS. a-
/ WASHINGTON, July 18.-The follow
ing reports showing the condition, acre
age, ETC., of potatoes and tobacco
throughout the country, July LIST, were
issued from the departm ent of agricul-
ture to-day:
Potatoes-There has been an in
crease of two per cent. in area in pota-
toes, throughout the whole country
since 1880. The increase is general in
all sections. The states OF New York
and Michigan report an increase of five
per cent. each; Missouri All increase Of
six per cent, and Ohio decrease
of two per cent. The condition
of the crops are reported to be
very high. Insect injuries are reported
in many localities, but the damage is
slight. The acreage of tobacco is large
ly in excess of last year, particularly
in Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky,
but in view of the large decrease in
1880 in these states owing to the search
ty of plants, the area will not be great
er this year than in 1879, in which year
the area was given for the crop report
of 1880. The condition of the crop re-
port is higher than last year at the
same time. ,a
