The October crop report, issued by the de
partment of agriculture, affords an approx
innate indication OF the yield of the wear.
1t is, on the whole, below the promise of tho
early part of the year, but is not so deficient
as to have any depressing effect The cotton
crop is now estimated at G,OOO, 600 bales.
The yield Of wheat will somewhat exceed
400, 100000 bushels. This is about 20 per
cent below the crop OF last year and the
quality Is said not to be up to the average.
Corn has suffered from frost in the north and
northwest, and from drought il the east and
south, and is considerably below the average
standard. Oats and potatoes show good
record, while that Of tobacco is below the
average On the whole those interests which
depend upon the crops Of the country have a
fair prospect with nothing disastrous to fear.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

A PrineeIy Income-The Fat Fees of a
 Court CIerk-Changes In The Tariff
 Rates-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-The committee on expenditures in the Department of Justice, which has been investigating the office of Mir. Mckinney, clerk of the United States Supreme Court, is about ready to report. The information furnished by the employe whom Clerk Mckinney discharged has been fully verified Mckinney himself testified that his receipts last year were $44, 476, and the expenses of the office only amounted to $15, ,oO0, leaving net profit for Mckinney of $29, ATT. This is nearly four times as much as the chief justice's salary, and about six times the salary of 8 member of Congress. la one case the constructive fees amounted to $2, 900, while the whole of the costs to the parties involved was $6,0O0. Under rule of the court the clerk is allowed twenty eight cents for every hundred words of the record in g case, upon the theory that he furnishes a manuscript copy to the printer. But in fact he furnishes the original record, and the twenty-eight cents per hundred words are clear gain. Besides the enormous amount of fees received by the clerk, he received sal- ary of $1o for every day of attendance upon the court. Last term when the court was in session 150 days thls amounted to $1, 500. For admission to the bar of the Supreme Court the fee is $10. Last term these fees amounted to over $2,oOo. These enormous fees were instituted when the business of the court was one-ffth as much as it is at pres ent, and their existence now is not onlya burden to the legal profession and to iti- gsnts, but, in the opinion of the committee, amount to more of revenue than one man ought to receive yearly from the govern. ment The committee will report that the salary of the clerk be fixed somewhere be- tween $5, 900 and $8, ,o00, and that $15, 900 be allowed him from the fees collected, for the expenses of the office. The committee will also report that the court be authorized

to revise their rules and reduce the amount of fees so that they may not amount to more than enough to defray the running expenses. There is no reflection upon Clerk McKin- ney's honesty, as he has simply followed the practice of forty years.
 Among the nominations of postmasters sent to the Senate to day was that of w. H. Tubbs at New London, Conn.
 Chief Brooks of the secret service said to- day that he did not believe the statement that George Albert Mason, now serving 8 term of twelve years at Albany, would come here for the purpose of exposing the formers alleged connection with gang of counter feiters. Mason was imprisoned in May, 1875, and has five years yet to serve. The records of the secret service show that he is an Eng ishman by birth, that he was soldier in the confederate army and that at the close of the war he figured as principal in the plot to kidnap or assassinate Lincoln also that he has been convicted fifty times in Canada for various offences.
 In their revision of the tariff bill to-day the Ways and Means committee reduced the duty on fence wire from the tariff commis- sion's rate of one cent per pound to three fourths of a cent per pound.
 The statement furnished by the Postofice department shows that the postage on local matter alone exceeded the extire cost of the free delivery service for the last fiscal year at the following named offices: Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Col, Hartford, Ct., New York, Phil adelphia, Providence, San Francisco and Sa- vanhah, Ga.
 Clark Mills, the well known sculptor, is dan gerously ill with an affection of the heart in this city.
 President Arthur tonight gave dinner to General and Mrs. Grant. The other guests were the members of the Cabinet and their wives, General and Mrs. Beal, Mrs. B. T. Kinsley, Miss Frelnghuysen, Mrs. John Davis, Senators Logan, Cameron of Pennsylvania Miller of California, Jones of Nevada and their wives, Senator Anthony, General Sherman, Admiral Porter, Miss Coleman, Miss Toller and Miss Cutts. A. H. Jackson, representing eastern cap- italists, has offered $60, 900 for certain lands of the Cheyenne Indians in Indian Territory for which MT. Campbell, of Chicago, offers $50, 1000. He will submit his proposition in writing.
 The schedules of provisions, sugar, liquor and woodenware were revised by the Ways and Means committee to-day. In the schedule on tobacco the duty on cigars was increased twenty five per cent. from the tariff reports, which places the rate as at present. A new para graph was also inserted to cover Sumatra tobacco, viz, tobacco in leaf unmanufactur. ed and used exclusively for wrappers 75c per pound. On all sugars above Ds. No. 1a the rates recommended by the Tariff commit tee were restored to-day.

Judge wrizht's Condition


 Judge R. W. Wright remained in about the same condition yesterday. Consciousness has not returned, but the indications were thought to be shade more favorable for his recovery.
 The Isaacs Caae and the Acquisition.
 Mir Isaacs. in charge of the shoe depart ment at Malley's, arrived home last evening. The charge against him is that he circulated copies of the New York newspaper IaHth containing libellous statements regarding Colonel Charles W. Fuller, of Bayonne, N. J. Some criticism has been made regarding the issuance of the acquisition. MT. zacher, e1- ecutive secretary of Governor Waller, states that he consulted MT. Doolittle, the States attorney, on the strength of telegram from the Governor directing him to do as Mr.Doo- little advised, and on advice received signed has furnished bail in the sum of $I,5OO, Emil Colman and Edward Carlbach becom- ing bondsmen.
 Yesterday afternoon Hobart L. Hotchkiss, who was attorney for MT. Isaacs in the habeas corpus case, received telegram from the Governor, stating that he had not signed or authorized any other person to sign any extradition paper for him. It is evident that Mr. zacher signed the papers under the advice of State Attorney Doolittle that it would be Gall right" Mir. Zacher being re- ferred to Mr. Doolittle for instructions SUD- posed that any advice he gave him he could act upon. The extradition paper which was filled out in blank was, preceding the Gov ernor's signature, printed ''For the Govern or, ;" with a blank space for the name, and following that was appended the By - executive secretary.n If there has been an error in judgment it would seem to have been not intentional on the part of the exc cutive secretary. He supposed he was to fol- low the advice of the State attorney. and, as Is understood, on his advice he signed the extraditien paper for the Governor.
 MT. Isaacs is naturally indignant at being so summarily hurried out of the State, the same as if he was the blackest criminal, and when the case was of so unimportant char ter comparatively. MT. Isaacs found bail waiting for him in New York and was as- signed to the detectives room in the pre- cinet, where he had 8 comfortable bed, and the next morning was free man again and attended to business in New York connected with the shoe department at Malley's. He found Heidelberg, the detective who took him down on the train, to be man who was acquainted with Mir. Isaacs' brother and fre- quently visitor at the brothers store in New York. Mir. Isaacs hopes that other citizens will not be hurried off to another State in the way he was, and being treated, as he says, as if a criminal of the deepest dye.

 To drain the bitter cup. May our Fathers grace uphold us
 And sooth our bursting heart, As we lay away our loveo one,
 From whom we are called to part. But still our hearts deso1ate,
 For Clara is not here; Yet the angel dove doth finger,
 To watch the falling tear. We weep, but all is over,
 And our weeping is in vain. We cannot help but mourn thee,
 And wish thee back again. We know you are free from sorrow, Free from all the ills of life; And no longer we will murmur,
 But look to eternal light. We know that you have joined
 The angel choir in heaven; We know that you are happy,
 And light to us is given. Then farewell, my darling Clara,
 We will no longer mourn But soon we hope to meet you,
 In wonder peaceful home. EDWARD.
