At the opening of the Court yesterday morning james Goggins and Cornelius Rice, convicted a Jew days since of robvery in the frst degree, were Arraigned for sentence. His Honor satd that he regretted that it became bis duty to impose a very severe penalty upon them. He had hoped that the punishment indicted during the past year for the sormmisston Oi robberies would have induced the briminal clasa to forbear from the commission of gach High crimes against society. As this class of pffences had recently been on the increase, It was the duty of the Court toset an eXample to deter others. Goggins, whose reputation was bad, was Benrenced to the State prison jor twenty years, Dornelius Kice, sentenced fiteen years, Cornelius Leary, indicted for robbery in the first jegree, pleaded guilty to an attempt to commit at offence. ‘The complainant set torth tnat e the Idth of the present month while Louis | jarker was walking through Baxter street he was | by beized by the prisoner, Who took forcibly trom his | person a plated waten chain worth three dollars. | John H.

She was sent to et Penitentiary for six months. An Aged Female Shoplifter. ‘The same punishment was inflicted upon Catha- rine Snyder, who pleaded guilty to the minor grade oflarceny. The allegation against her was that on the 6th of April she stole 106 yards of silk, worth $75, trom the store ot Lord & Taylor. The accused is over sixty years of age, and as there were other extenuating circumstances tne prosecuting officer took tie jesser plew irom her in order that the Court could send her to the Penitentiary rather than to the State Prison. Walter Stivers was aiso sent to the Penitentiary for six montns, he having pleaded guilty to the minor grade of larceny, The charge was that on the 17th inst. the accused stole clothing, valued at $36, owned by Lena Huiner, Patrick Ryan, a bung: y thief, who stole a piece Of bacon, worth $1 60, the property of Bernard Hayman, pleaded guilty.

Acquittals, Peter O'Neill, @ youth, was charged with at- tempting to steal $4 trom the person of Charles Miller on the 8th of this month. It was shown in the course of the trial that the boy was im the habit of ‘fooling’? with the complainant, and, although this evidence tendeu to suow that on this occasion O'Neill acted the part of a practical joker, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. ‘The Recorder, in discharging O'Neill, said, “You can go; you will soon be back here.” John J. Maloney, William Wien, Thomas Hazle and Edward Kenna, who, upon returning from a birthday party, were Charged with stealing a silver watch from George Fiedeler, were placed on trial.

From gur exchanges we extract the following a3 to the prospects of the incoming crop in aadition to what bag been given in the HERALD irom time to time. The news from the South is more cheering, It now seems to be conceded that the disasters to Sugar, rice and cotton will be less serious than was at first anticipated. We learn that in many of the large cotton districts the water has subsided So as to permit the work of replanting to com- mence; and, as the Richmond Enquirer informs us, if the new plant can be got tn vy June 15 the prospect for a good crop will be encouraging, as | “the rico alluvial deposit will strengthen and | basten the growth of the cane and cotton plant.’’ “Rice,” we are further told, “will not be greatly injured if the large volume of water ts speedily removed from it.

From personal observation and from correspond- ence from different parts of the country we con- clude that farmers certainly have great cause to | Tejoice at the prospect for a coming bountiful har- vest. While it is yet too early to reckon upon the corn crop, we can estimate with tolerable ac- curacy the condition o1 the small grain. The wheat ,| crop throughout the County is especially promis. ing, and, if it turns out as it at present promises, will be the largest Seward county has ever been | blessed with. Other grains, too, look well, and among None of them does’ there appear to be a chance of @ failure.

[From the Muscatine Journal.) All accounts agree that the potato-bug movement . this season is unusually early and formidable. Mr, Joseph Bennett informed us on Saturday that it a field of potatoes on the island, which he planted in April, there is an average of nine ougs to each po- tato. Ina patch he has on the bin they are not quite sobad. Mr. W.P. Frazier estimates the num- ber of bugs on his at a halt a <pzen Lo each plant. He has noticed many of them on the wing, aud they invariably fly eastward. Ofcourse, unicas the bugs } come toa premature and unexpected end, they will completely destry the potato crop this season. itis saia, however, that a certain spectes of ant has appeared, and is destroying them in great num- | bers, Tie propagation of the anti-potato-bug ant should be encouraged by all means, bi Unfavorable Reports from Indiana, A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writ- ing from Huntington county, says:— The farmers qj Huntington county make a blue report of their crops, Grains are mostly winter killed, and the wire worm is ravaging what is leit. ‘The crop of toe whole county will surely jai far below the average, The potato bugs have com- menced their summer campaign, and are literally eating the young plants down totke giound in fan, places.

THE COTTON crop, 3 The New Orleans Times of tue 6th Inst. gives in detail the result of two or three days’ investigation of the condition and prospects of the cotten crop in tne regions tributary to New Orleans. ‘Ihe gen- eral results are summed up thus:—Much of the cotton lauds have only just been planted; much is now only being planted, or rather replanted, as the overflow waters subside. The season is late, and it is impossible «in une ver, nature of tne case that anybody should be able to even form an opinion What yleld to expect from this replanting. Obvi- ously some idea can be formed, however, as to the probable amount of loss of crop by reason of the flood or decline in acreage, since tn either case the losses are already “partially ascertaineg. The de- cine in acreage ts believed to be about ten per cent. It is wei Known that a gene:al sentiment pee fy throughout the cotton beit that it would | je a Wise policy on the part of the planters to re- duce the area of cotton and increase the area of corn, From all sources of information we are ted to believe that the loss ffi the crop of 1874, outside of the average decline co! ten per cent in the acre- age, Will provably fall short of 200,000 bales, and may not exceed 160,000 bales, ‘these conciusions are necessarily hypothetical, and assume tne favorabie contingelicies of the weather and ab- sence Oi the cotton worm until such time as the replanted cotton shall sufficiently mature to escape its ravages.’ A New Foe to the Cotton, The cotton plant hasa new enemy.

The Conflict Between the Royal Staple and Bread—How the Planters of the South Learned Wisdom. Macon, Ga., June 16, 1874. When the war Closed cotton was oscillating be- tween thirty and forty-six cents per pound in all the inland and seaboard markets in Georgia, and in- deed throughout the cotton belt of the United States, This was quite a difference between eight and ten cents, which were the generally ruling rates for the staple in ante-dellum days. In the days of slavery planters raised cotton and soid it at ten cents per pound, and made money rapidiy by the process. It was the most lucrative farming to our whole country. steadily lost money from year to year. The conclusion will at once be jumped at that this wag because slavery (was abolished and the negro had to be paid regular wages. This is not the reason, however, for in reality the negro does not get as much now ag he gid When a@ slave. The only bpon freedom has brought to him as yet is that he makes about money enough to buy nalf the food and clothing his old master used to give him, unless we count the rare and mestimable privilege of voting the radical ticket and organizing brass bands at will. Cotton at thirty cents per pound set the whole country crazy to produce it, Everything else went by the board. Corn, oats, rye, wheat, barley and hay were looked upon with contempt, One man even cut down a twenty acre peach orchard and planted the ground In cotton, Fertilizers of every grade, the majority of which were well nigh worthiess, were rushed in trom every direction and gobbled up at from $60 to $110 per ton. Even good house- wives devoted hall their gardens and the corners of fences about the house to the all-absorbing plant. Merchants, professional men, mechanics, artizans quit their old way of making a liv. ing and went to raising it. The panic was not unlike that in @ Pacific slope settlement upon the reception of news that a new goldmine had been discovered, or when @ man had suck oll in @ county in Pennsylvania. TUE FIRST EFFECT produced in this business was the speedy and almost total extinction o1 t! tire stock of hogs in the cotton region. Then cattle went the same way, then horses, mules and every Other animal which mainly subsists upon corn and fodder, Cot- ton fell to twenty-five cents the first year, then to twenty, and finally to filteen cents, upon which Jast figure tt has hinged ior the yet three or tour si years, Still, no one could unde/#stand or see why more money could not be made by raising cotton at fifteen cents than at tens’ Filteen certamly more than ten; out the trouble was that it took the net proceeds ofevery bale raised to buy enough bacon, bread and forage to Keep soul and body to- gether. The only pleasure they hati was in count. img over a big pile of greenbacks every year and then paying every dollar of it out to Louisvilie and Cincinnati for something to eat—for that which they once raised in the greatest proiusion, If Was incredible to see how persistently the pjanters stuck to their folly, Thus they went on jor six or seyel years, or until tne last one of them became almost hopelessly bankrupt. In order to show what the planters of Georgia paid out each year ior supplies, the amount of money anpua\ly sent West Jo that which they were in the habit of producing before the war, the following table is appended which covers the year 1872, and shows the amounts imported :— Total value.. .
