t b os ra ‘ — THE CROPS. Cheering Prospects----Great Expectations. Wheat, Eye, Oats, Corn, Grass, Cotton, Sugar and Tobacco, All in Good Condition. Blooming Fruit Trees Promise Abundance. EARLY SEASON. It is rather early in the season to “discount? the erop prospects of the entire country. In the East- ern and in the extreme Northwestern States, where the banks of snow have not yet disappeared and ‘where the streams are still margined with cast up ‘ee, the farmers have hardly yet taken the usual spring survey of thetr expanded ficlds, But im the South and Southwest, where the season is from three to six weeks cartier, the growing crops are saMciently advanced to form a general idea of the ulrunate yield, and to warrant the assertion that they never were better or presented @ more proinis- img appearance. Corn and cotton planting has commenced under very favorable auspices, and the most sanguine planters could not exhibit more sat- Asfaction if the regulating of the season was in their own hands. The already blossomed fruit trees, particularly the peach in Delaware, encourage us to anticipate an abundance. For the groundwork of these speculations we refer to the following extracts:— ALABAMA, ‘The Greensboro Beacon says:—Pianters are: com- plaining of the backwardness of their work, owing to the juent rains willin the last seven or eight weeks. Though January was remarkable for the smal quantity of rain that feil that month, February and March have fully made up for the deficiency. In the black and bottom laaus, there has been, we Judge, very iitue good ploughing done for several weeks The consequence is that much of the the corn land has not been bedded up, but simply hsted. Corn planting has been going on vigorously, ‘we suppose, for the last ten days. On the sandy lands, the first and chief planting, 13 probably about gotten througa with. DELAWARE. is promised in Delaware 3 in some portioys of the State are in full bloom, and give every indication of an unusually large yield. GEORGIA, Reports from Georgia are to the effect that the wheat crop throughout the State has unproved in appearance during the past few weeks. Farmers around West Point are going into corn planting quite heavily. The Talbotton Standard says wheat, oats and rye look fineily—a good prospect lor a fruit crop. A large area of corn 18 being planted. The Sandersville Georgian of March 29 says:—A ride of eleven miles in the country on the 26th of Mavch gave us something of an tasigl to what a portion of our or are doing. Early corn is up and looking welt. A good stand has generaily been ob- tained, and replanting and ploughing out for the first time has commenced with those who have their work sufficiently advanced to get back to it. Judg- jug from what we have scen and heard there never has been as large a quantity of cotton seed piauted in Washington county so early in the season and ready lo be Planted at the proper time, as is the case now. The fields are dottea with the little mounds or the mellow earth gives sign of the Geposit having already been made. Planters con- fidently anucipate a glorious yield of corn from these seed. Singular, is it not? Yet not so very, eitner, When 11s understood that the cotton seed ere being simply as manure for corn. Cotton Planting bas not yet commenced. Preparation is being made for a reasonable crop, on which guano will be used toa moderate extent, The change in this respect is very great, We do not see large field county ¢ year. Our farmers are up to their ell épring work, cleaning, Jencing, ditening their corn and tobacco lands for plan! 44 ¢ have heard less outcry this season in regard Jabor than usual, and we therefore conclude that tt 18 setrling at last into something like order and fix- edness. MISSOURI. The St. Joseph Herald of March 29 says:—The fruit buds have not been injured, 80 far as we can learn, 1m this section, There ts hope for a good yield next season. Wheat looks well and vegetation 1s gene- rally in advance of the season. MICHIGAN. A letter from Kalamazoo, dated March 25, say: Is may now be said that spring is fairly inaugurated, although the air is not so Warm and balmy as could be desired. The snow all disappeared some four weeks since, disclosing the condition of the wheat crop now on the ground, which our farmers say was never more promising, and I know the same to be the case in other parts of our Stave, from my own personal observation. I have not yet heard a single complaint, which is quite unusual, our farmers, as & class, ure proverbially ine:!ned to croak. NEW JERSEY, The peach prospect was not more promising last spring than itis at present. It will be recollected that New Jersey peacies last year went down in price toa preity low figure in consequence of the abundance of the fruit, It iooks now as if the same result may be anticipated, TENNESSER, ‘The Clarksville Chronicle says the wheat crop 18 looking very promising in that section, ‘The Bolivar Bulletin says:—“Many of our planters are going ic blind again, and are giving up almost all of their cleared land to cotton.” Speaking ot the fruit prospects the Jonesboro Union Flag of the 2ith ult, says:—Tne fruit pros- pect, except propably the cherry, is good, the frost not having been severe enough to do serious damage as ye. The biooms are healthy and tull, and if the nipping bight does not come ugain upper East Ten- nessee, Western Nort Carolina and Southwestern Virginia, as usual, will supply the market, if prop- erly husbauded. It is weli known that no finer fruit grows anywhere than 18 produced tn this section. Fayette county farmers are paying much more attention to ine Various grasses than ever before. The farmers are vigorousiy planting corn in Lou- on. ‘The wheat crop js reported as looking splendid in upper East Tennessee, TEXAS. Everything in the terracuitural line looks favor- able and promising in ‘texas, Cetton and corn are the two principal productions of the soll, and not a word of complaint comes from any quarter. Corn is well up, and the season thus far has been un- usually propitious. The people anticipate a large cotton crop this year, surpassing even that of 1870. UTAH. The Salt Lake City Heraid of March 26 says:—Re. Ports from different parts of the Territory show that a very large breadth of land will be put under cuiti- vation this season. Already spring Work has coin- menced where the ground ts in @ condition for 11, and Irom information feceived at the beginning of winter, we are satistied considerable fall wheat was sown. The mountains are full of snow, promising an ample supply of water auring the summer for irmgation purposes, We believe there are no grass- hopper eggs to hatch out, except in a very few places, and there limited in namber. And, all things considered, the prospects are as guod for an abun- dant harvest as the Territory has enjoyed for years. be = - The Lynchburg Virgen says:—a gentleman from Botetourt ijorms us that the crops of wheat on some of the farms of that county are the mose magnificent he ever saw in his lue; and that gene- rally tae prospect is very fine. THE COURTS FOR 4PRIL. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. At the opening ot the April term of this court Judge Woodruil gave novice to the members of the bar that mo jury cases would be taken up during the present week, aud the attention of the Court would be directed to the hearing of appeals—other than Admiralty appeais—appeals in bankruptcy, and pe- ltions of review and demurrers. The crimina! pro- ceedings would commence next week, THE STATE COURTS. The Apri! term in the State courts promises to be an unusually busy one. Most of the cases however, =e ot uunor character.

ILLINOIS. ‘The breadth of ground sown in wheat in Pike county, Illinois, lust fail was unusually large, aud tne growing wheat is now most luxuriant and promises an immense yield, The Pinkneyville (Perry county) Banner says:— “Never, perhaps, in the history of the country, were the prospects of a wheat crop so splendia at tais season of the year as now throughout Central Iili- nos. In this county pre field promises @ large Yield; there is no exception to wb: The growiug wheat siands thick upon the ground; the recent rain and warm sunshine have given it a juxurious @ppearance, and made the fields look green and Bexatiiul. Wheat growers predict the earliest har- vest year known since Illinols was settled, and surely the present indications warrant the predic- tion. The fruit trees in Southern Illinois are in full bloom, With prospects of a good crop. Strawberries are now in the market, Colonel Wiley, one of the Commissioners of the Southern Iilinois Insane Asylum, reports in Spring- fielu that the fruit prospects in Lilingis, south of the latutude of DuQuoin, were never beiter. Apple, peach, pear and apricot trees are in full bloom; also strawberries and other early fruit vines are in the same condition. The prospects north of DuQuoin @re not so flattering, but promise more than an aver- age crop. The Colonel also dos ge the prospect for wheat, oats, &c., very good, the spring having opened @ mouth eather than for many years past. INDIANA. Northern Indiana exchanges speak very encour- agingly of the wheat prospects, declaring that it promises more than usualiy weil for this tune of the year. IOWA. Horticuiturists from various sections of the State assert that the fruit wees have passed through the winter, thus iar, in adimrable order, and that there are now the most flattering indications that the crop of the coming summer Will be the targescin the mustory of the State, The only danger lies between mow and warm weather. Should Apri give uo cut- Ung frosts these gentlemen say the yieid must be extraordioarily large. KANSAS. ‘The farmers in Leavenworth county are burning all ihe cornstalks and rubbish on their grouads to destroy the clinch bug. KENTUCKY. Small grain in Harrison county is looking splen- did. Farmers are preparing to plant large crops of corn. ‘Whe Lexington Observer of March 29 says:—Our eldest ciuizens tell us they Bever kuew so forward a Season us tne present.

The rains during the first two weeks of March nopeded the operation of planting corn aud cotton, but toward the close of the month the weather be- came more settied and tue work progressed very satisfactorily. ‘The Richland Beacon of the 18th of March si We notice some of our planters are beginmag to break the ground, while others say they will not be- in within two weeks. Itis time now that corn was ing planted, though good corn can be made from seed pianted @ month Bence, but delaying with then throws the planting of corn and cotton too near to- cner. We have feard one man say he was going to piant all corn, or at least three-fourths corn, aud oth y they Will plant more corn than they ever have before. ‘The St. Helena Star of the 18th says:—Since our last issue the parish has been fooded with rain, and farming operations considerably retarded thereby. The most of our planters expected to devote the past week to planting corn, but the ground has been kept in such a condition that it has been awimost impossible to accomplish anytoing in tus parish. The Point Coupée Echo of March 25 says:—In the fields the cave is beginning to mark the rows; the Brat planting of corn is belug Worked, and in many mstances cotton seed has actualiy been put in the d. This certainly jooks like spring, and we sincerely hope that our planting friends ure not de- ceived. Leaving aside the question of high water anda levees, the prospect for a goud crop tis year 18 bright and encouraging.

Abont one o'clock yesterday morning Arthar Per- kins Heffan, or Hefferner, conined in the county jail in this city for the murder of William Smith, in the International Saicon, C street, three weeks ago to-night, was taken from his ceil in the County Jail bya nce Committee and summarily hung by the till he was de: ‘The night was dai with blastery cold winds and an occasional hat storm whirling in sleety eddies around the sides of old Mount Davidson, and the streets were nearly deserted, most people having sought their com- fortable homes and resting places for the night. THE VIGILANCE COMMITTER assembled at Armory Hall, on B street, about mid- night, and so quietly was this done that very few of even persons about town, Who are generally sup- posed to keep posted, knew what was going on, A guard was stationed at the door, and ali who en- tered had to give @ password. Straggling indl- viduals who happened to be passing, or on their way homeward at that late hour, were confronted by the armed rentinels and turned away with the admonition to go along quietly about their business and bave nothing to say. AS Rear as we can learn there were not far from one hundred of these Vigi- Jantes assembled, and all were armed with pistois, shotguns aud the muskets of the Emmet Guard, which they found and took possession of at the hall. ALARM BELL STOPPED. Not tee after midnight, Sam Wyckenham, steward of Young American Engine Company, No. 2, on South C street. sleeping m the engine house, was areused by a man who came there asking if he ‘was the steward, Sam replied that be was and thea noticed that this man was masked. “Weil, if you are the steward,” said he, “iake this pistol and go up into the belfry, and if anyoody comes to ring the bell on any pretence whatever you shoot him. Get up, there, quick.”’ Sam realized that there was no nonsense in this matter, so, making a@ virtue of necessity, he put on nis coat and went, taking the pistol along, the masked man, wiih a shot gun, following Uo see that he did so, He kept poor Sam there in the cold and storm for about an hour and a@ half, when he was permitted to come down, and the masked man, taking the pistol from him, left. THE ATTACK ON THE JAIL. Sheriff Atkinson and Under Sheriff Stoner tnform us that they were in bed in their private room, which is atthe rear of the Sheriff's office, with @ ‘Wooden partition between them and the room where the prisoners’ cells are, when about one o'clock, a near as they can judge, they were awakened by 4 knocking at their room aoor, Atkinson got out of ved and slid back the boit of the door, when, as he did so, the door was pushed open and about a dozen men rushed in, one of them having a lighted canaie in his hand. They levelled guns and pistols at the officers, and their spokesman satd they hag come jor Perkins and wanted the keys of the cells forth- with, Both peremptorily refused, a8 sworn officers of the law, to deliver the keys. Stoner was pullea out of bed and somewhat roughly handled, but ne per- sisted in his refusai, aud it was atter several minutes’ search that the keys were fouad, tuey being kept in a pigeon hole of a desk in the corner of the room, The Sherif says he thinks there were atleast twenty or thirty of these men in the jal, all masked, apparently with handxerchieis across their faces and holes cut for their eyes, and all armed with guns or pistols, A portion of them had come in through the rear of the building from A street, and others from the front, the outside iron doors not being closed. They forced the sash door at the encrance to the Sheriff's office with a crowbar, and subsequentiy that leading into the interior of the jail in a sunuar manner, THE PRISONER TAKEN OUT. After getting possession of the keysa guard of half a dozen men were leit in the room with the officers, and the rest went directly to the cell where Arthur Perkins was confined, together with Moses Reming- ton, who shot his wife a week or so ago. They told Perkins they had come for him and that he must dress himself and go aiong with them to be hanged. Whiie dressing he protested that they were doing wrong 10 this matter, as he never intended to Smitn—that “it was an accident,” &c. Some questions were asked him reiative to his incendiary crimes, but he deniea them, speaking especially of the burning ef Invincibie ose house, asserting that when the fire occurred be was playing at biiliards with others in the Washoe f#illiard Saloon, He had some difficulty avout getting lis boots on, and was told that he Would not need them, so he went without them or ‘with @ pair ef slippers on. Meanwhile there was a party of some torty Vixilantes in froat of the jail and patroling B streee, between Union and Taylor ; streets, while a simijar detachment was at the rear of the jail and occupying A street, between ihe points mennoned, By this me quite a number of spec- ators were gathered on B street, curiously wateh- ing the proceedings and evidently expecting to see the prisoner broughtout, But in this tley were dis- appointed, for Perkins was taken out the back way upon A street, The Sherisf thinks it was about half an nour from the time the Vigilantes pussed out with Perkins before some of them came back, and, speak- ing to the guard left there, they all left. The officers then went to Verkins’ cell, locked it and got the keys. again. Remington was much ingbtened. AT THE GALLOWS. The Vigilantes, with their prisoner, allowing no one to follow them, marched along A street to Sut- ton avenue, and thence up to the Ophir mine, where stands a small building over one of the shaits of that — From the front of this building, some twelve feet from the ground, a beam projects, beneath which 18a cut or car way, some six or seven feet in depth, with a car wack at the surface, for- merly used in running out cars or tubs loaded with ore from the shaft, to be dumped into the cars m the cut beneath. A piece 0! voard was placed across this upper car track, and on this Arthur Perkins ‘was made to stand while a rope they had brought along was thrown over the beam overhead, and a noose at the end adjusted about the neck of the doomed man. All this was evident to any who, like ourself, visited the scene a few hours later. We are told that Perkins appeared firm ana collected and did not make any confession, merely mentioning something about his relatives. We hear also that when the sinali board upon which he stood was removed he gave 4 spring upward at the same time, making his fall still greater. In fact there are various versions and ramors of this part of the affair, which we have no room to repeat, This ‘Was the last of 1t, however. THE BODY. Abont four o'clock policemen Potter and McCready and Jobin Stout, on searching for the body, found it still suspended where the Vigilantes lett it. The hands and feet were tied, a towel was bound across the eyes, and pinned to the left lappel of the coat was a small placard, on which was written the following: “ARTHUR PERKINS—COMMITTRE NO, 601."? These officers came away leaving the body as they found it, and notifying Coroner Symons, that officer went with J. W.

(Frem the Albany Journal, April 1.) Between one and two o'clock this moraing fanes were discovered issuing from the rear windows of the Opera House, on Third street, Troy, and in a short me the building was enurely destroyed, ‘The Troy Wiig states that an alarm Was ianaediately sounded from the box at the Mausion House coruer, but betore the firemen could arrive tie Infammabie material which constitutes the scenery and stage machinery had conducted the fire to te entire rear half of the large building, and before auy consider- able amount of water could be thrown the whole ijuside was & mass of flames. Parts of the roof immediately feli in, and the flames and smoke iseuing from the burning ruins iluminated the sky and threatened to consume the two wooden structures on the north, a8 well as the brick baildmg on the south. A sight wind which was blowing turned the flames to the south, thereby sav- ing the wooden structures and contluing the fire to the burning butlding. Sy the exertion of the fire department the fiames dia not reach the building on the south occupied by Mr. Van Arnum, but it was nevertheless damaged extensively by water. The Opera House was entirely gatted from the Toof to the lower floor, and nothiug now remains of this well-known butlaing but the four charred walls. ‘The lower foor of the Opera House was occupied by P.

Mr. Bishop's loss is about $8,000; no insurance, The loss of Mr. Van Arnum, the proprie- tor of the Opera House and the building adjorntny on the south, is estimated at avout $50,000; insured at between $12,000 and $14,000, "Mr. Dauchy's dweiling, adjoining Mr. Van Arnum's was slightiy injured by water and the bieaking of many articles in removing them from the premises, At three o'clock the portion of the north side wall of the Opera Houre fell, striking the rear portion of Colonel Steenberg's building, damaging It to the ex- tent of about $10,000, for which the Cojonel 1s in- sured for $6,500.

BET, soxpa¥, apes 1} THE WEEK IN WALL STREET. =~ ‘The enlistment of a fresh interest in the placing of the new loan, representing certain houses and firms who had disapproved the action of the Secretary of the Treasury in appointing as special agents certain banging firms im Europe, and whose feelings were mollified by his final withdrawal of such agencies, Jed to a rather more active movement in subscrip- tions to the new bonds, and turned what threatened to be a dull if not @ heavy market at the Stock Exchange and government board into a fairly active and buoyant one, overcoming entirely the disposition of the street to accept lower prices in view of the fact that the week, as the last one be- fore the 1st of April, was likely to be attended with irregutarity and activity if not stringency in the money market. In the Gold Room the initial success of the new loan was received with demonstrations of delight by the operators for a decline whose boldness was stimulated by rumors of heavy gold sales during the month of April by the Treasury. The “bulls” were as disconcerted as the others were elated, and the result of their respective situations was a decline in gold from 110% to 11034, the market at one time giving every indication or going into a panic and dropping several per cent. In fact, It was the covering of the short interest at 110% that served to check it, and the later mercantile demand for gold that occasioned a reaction to 110%. It subsequently turned out that the imports of tne week had reached the enormous amount of $12,900,000, and the reaction was conse- quently easily explained, In fact, the explana- tion was more than enough. In ordinary times such an excessive introduction of foreign goods would have caused a sudden and large advance in the price of gold; but just now the sentiment of the street is against @ higher premium, while an ob- stacle to specie shipments is presented vy the ad- vancing prices of American nationa! securities in Europe. net to speak of the prospect, which is favor- ably regarded in many quarters, that the 5 per cents will be taken to a considerable extent in Kurope as afresh investment, independent of the conversion of the five-twenties now held there, At the government voard the feature was the buoyant strength of the genera! issues, particularly the currency six per vents, which advanced @ fall two per cen: to 116, The ’02's at one time were just 3é per cent beiow their par in gold, and progress to the standard at which the success of the new loan ig w @ great extent insured was regarded with no little complacency by the more zealous friends of Mr, Boutweil in Wali street, The London price of the "62's eame 92% on Friday night, which, deducting accrued interest, was %4 a 34 of the par (which is 91 mm sterling), The progress made in the new loan was quite fattering after the middie of the week, ana the total subscriptions reported ap to Saturday alight were $50,000,000, The money market worked easily at four to five per cent with exceptional loans on government col- laterals at three per cent until toward the close of banking hours on Saturday, when, in marked contrast to the usual course of matters on the last day of the week, @ sharp demand set im at dve per eent, which became the general rate on all stock loans in the final business of the Gay. In fact, the inquiry was 80 active that some borrowers had to pay six per cent for accommodation at the last moment, A less abundant supply of money had been generally an- ticipated, however, and it nad been already ex- pected that with the enlarged volume of business FINANGHL, | at the Stock Exchange and the steady flow of cur- rency tothe rural districts the past two or three weeks In connection with the April settlements the rate on call would have risen before this to tall seven per cent, At the Stock Exchange there was @ markea diml- nution in the volume of business as contrasted with the earlier weeks of the month of March, buta steady advance in prices. In fact, the week just closed recorded the highest prices of the season for most of the leading speculative favorites, showing that the cliques aud larger holders had re- fused to part with what they bad already purehased, and were quietly buying such stock as was offered by the street in antict- pyion of a stringent money market. In fact, the **bull” cliques have been reinforced by the desertion to their side of several leading operators who had been short of the market since last winter, bat who covered their contracts and are now com- mitied to the inauguration of a grand summer cam- paign in favor of higher prices. The fact that the market is already high seems only two encourage this movement, for the reason that with current prices the general ‘bear’ sentiment is kept alive and affords @ foundation for the renewed operations of } the “bull? chques, THE BANK STATEMENT. AS generally anticipated the bank slatement for the week ending April 1 (the vernal period of mone- tary activity), proved to be very unfavorable. It was the last or about the last week which could experi- ence the outward drain of currency, and hence Wall street accepted we bad features of the state- ment guietiy. The steck market was rather better after the agony ol expectation was over. The principal changes are a loss of $1,641,315 in spece, and & loss of $1,922,865 in legal tenders, making the aggregate loss of legal reserve $3,504,180, The deposits have run down $8,636,207. 80 that the surplus above the legal reserve is impaired only $2,650,000, The last men- fonued item has m consequeuce fallen to about $7,800,000, The statement contrasts with its prede- | cessor as follows:— March 2. etia Deposit 298; Legai ien.. 65,105,408 LATEST PRICES OF Gv The folowing were the closing government bonds en Sat treet prices of evening:—United States currency sixes, 1 ao. sixes, 1881, registered, 116%) & 116%; du. do., coupon, 116% @ 116%; do, five-twenties, registered, May and November (ex-interest), 1087, a 1094); do. dof, 1802, coupon, do., 112)4 a 1128; do. do., 1864, do. do,, Vi2% a L12}2; do. do, 1865, du. do, 112% a 11234; do. do., registered, January and July, 11144 @ 11144; do. do., 1885, coupon, 40,, 114g @ 111g; du do., do,, 11194 & 111)g; do. do., 1808, do. do., 111% ally; do, ven-lorties, registered, 108); a 108%; do. do, coupon, 108% a 109, THE COCRSE OF THE GOLD MARKET.
