The Growth of Uorn Throughout the United States—Average of Area and Condition. WASHINGTON, July 21, 1874. it appears from returns to the Department of Agriculture that an increase in the corn area of fully 2,000,000 acres is apparent, or six per cent above the breadth of last year. The percentage of increase 1s largest in the South. The increase in acres is largest in the West. The returns make the gain in Iowa over 300,000 acres; in Mississippi, about the same; in iilinois, above 200,000 acres; in Indiana, fully 200,000 acres; in Kansas, about 170,000 acres; Georgia shows almost as large an increase as Iowa and Missouri; Alabama, 180,000 acres; Mississippi, 120,000 acres; Texas, 200,000 acres. ‘The iuducement to enlarge the corn area ol THE COTTON STATES appears to have been less influential in the Missis- sippi Valley than in the more Eastern States, Georgia particularily. The increase in Texas is simply due to the natural expansion of the crop areas from immigration, and 1s equally noticeaple | im cotton and other erops. The number of States reporting a decrease in area 18 small, including only Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Floriaa, Louisiana, ‘Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky and Caitiornia, In North- ern New Kngland a late, fered with planting, ‘and in Louisiana the area is less by reason of the overflow, The States making an increase are as foilow: ‘Maryland. Virginia aud Wisconsin, 101; Penpsylvania, Ohio and Ne- braska, 102; Massachusetts and Oregon, 103; Von- necticut, North Carolina and wiinols, 104; South Carolina and Michigan, 106; Indiana, 108; Iowa 109; Mississippi and Minnesota, 110; Alabama an Arkansas, 112; Kansas, 114; Georgia, 115; Tennes- see, 116, THE CONDITION OF ‘THE CORN 1s generally good in the West, but elsewhere vari- able. Only Massachusetts, of the Eastern States, re- ports an average condition. Only Pennsylvania, of the Middle States, and Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Texas, of the Southern States, report the same. Minnesota is an exception in the Western States, reporting 94, and Calilornia and Oregon fail to give a full average. The per- centages of condition above average are as fol- lows:—South Carolina, 101; Massachusett: Florida, Michigan and Kansas, 102; Maryland an: Towa, 104; lilimios, 105; Texas, 106; Indiana and Nebraska, 109. The States averaging 100 are Penn- syivania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Missouri. On the Northern Atlantic coast, the iate planting and cold storms are the causes of a somewhat Iniertor condition, though the color is generally good, and the present growth promising. The mundations, soaking rains and consequent re plantings in the Southern States make the ap- pearance of corn quite variable, and account for a condition below the average in certain State: waile in others, Such advantages existing in a le degree, they have been gvercome by good culture and good weather. Thefe is complaint of LOCAL provGnt, butitis not of loug continuance nor does it in- volve wide areas. It has been most serious in Ar- kansas, Some counties having had little or no rain in two ponte. In the Ohio Valley there is some TSuiplaint of drought in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky and in some parts of Iilinois, aud to some extent also in States west of the Mississippi. So tar the injury irom this cause throughout the country is less than usual. Cutworms have been | generally injurious, and chinch bugs im the West, where, aiter devastating wheat fields, they have attacked corn vigorously in many localities, THE DOMAIN OF RAILROADS, —_—_-—__—_— : Important Decision of Jadge Drum- mond, of the United States Cireuit Court—Jurisdiction of Federal Laws. CHicaco, July 21,1874, A decision involving very important principles was rendered in the United States Circuit Court this afternoon by Judge Drummond, in the case of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company vs, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Ratiroad Com- pany.

Wheat contested the seat and was reiused the right, as he had not filed the notice thirty days after election, though declared elected up to the day of assemblage.

On Sunday alternoon iast John Powers, a boarder at No, 226 Kast Thirty-ninth street, tert home to pass the day with some of hia friends, He proceeded to No. 8 Kast Thirty-second street, where his sister, Margaret, was employed as ® servant, from whence, with two other friends, the brother and sister journeyed to No, 17 West Fifty-seventh street, At this later piace the young ladies of the kitchen ave an entertainment to their guests, The menu consisted principaily of cake, chow-chow, ale and whiskey, the latter obtained from a corner grocery. it is asserted that several drinks were indulged in om the way up town. Certain it is, bowever, that a. cousiderabie quantity of cheap liquors of one kind or an- other was imbibea, The party broke up about eleven o'clock in the eventing. On Monday, aboot seven o'clock, Dr. Passmore, residing at No. 106 East Thirty-ninth street, was calied in to prescribe for the patient. He states that be found young Powers in @ semi-unconscious state. The eyes protruded from their sockets and seemed to be almost sightless. Powers complainea of a most terrible burning tn the throat. ‘The thorax was highly inflamed. Dr. Passmore at once treated the patient for poison. He called in as coadjutor Dr. Hughes, residing at No. 104 East Thirty-ninth | Street. Both physicians agreed that the case had ali the symptoms of vegetabie poison. Dr. Hughes States that although there is strycunine in ale the symptoms are not such as fol- low poisoning irom that poison. He believes the poison to have been pryonia, or the deadly nightshade. The patient grew rapidly worse dur- ing the day, although antidotes and remedies to aliay the inflammation were applied. There seemed to be nothing that gave any noticeable relief. The young man lingered until yesterday morning, when he died in great agony. ANOTHER CASE IN THE PARTY. Dr. Hughes was summoned early yesterday morning to attend the case of Mra, Powers, John’s Sister, who had been attacked in a similar mun- ner. ‘The physician found her in much the same state as that in which he h found John Powers, Her sufferings were less acute, however, and the tofammatioa in ber throat was not so great. He administered power- ful antidotes, and a HeRaLp reporter who called at the house, No. 8 East Thirty-second street, last evening, was in ormed that she was believed to be out of all danger. It was evident, Dr. Hughes said, that she had not taken so great a quantity of the poison into her system. Dr. Hughes states further that the case of Miss Powers tends to confirm his opinions in regard to the poisoning; he now believes the poison to have been bryonta. Tue post-wortem, when conciuaed Will alone demonstrate the cause of deatn; Miss Powers was still sufferlug greatly, and tne phys- clan was in constant attendance, but every symptom, a3 above stated, was favorable, ONLY LEMONADE, Eliza Chambers, the woman who lives at No. 17 West Filty-seventh street, stated that the party had been eating and drinking before they caine to her house, and that while there they had only some lemonade and whiskey. She ininks she heard some one say that they had drank ale on the way up town. She could not imagine how ay poison could get into the liquor unless it was in it when bought. WHAT KILLED HIM. Coroner Woltman called, with his assistant, iate yesterday. He viewed the remains and directed & post-mortem examination to be made by his assistant. The work was begun at once, but the Chemtcal teats will not be made until this morn- ing, at which time the class of poison will be de- termined. A jury wu doubtless be empanelled to-day and a burial permit granted. There does not seem to be a suspicion of foul play. Captain Allaire, of the precinct in which the deatn oo- curred, was called upon, and says that a detec- tive has carefully d out all the tacts in the case, and that there appears to be as yet Do grounds for suspecting any one, The sad event is the result o: imbibing tvo much bad whiskey, made out of sulphuric acid, fusil oll and burnt sugar. The relatives of John Powers, who reside in Middletown and Fair Haven, Conn., have been telegraphed, and it is probable that the corpse will be forwarded to-day. THE POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION, Deputy Coroner Dr, William Shine says:—I have made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased Jonn Powers, at No. 226 Kast 'Thirty- third street, assisted by Dr. James A.
