CROPS. Cixcinnati, March 2. The general agricultural and horticultural situation was never more promising in Ohio at this season- of the year. The wheat in most places is excellent and the acreage ii unorecedentedly It is only where there ire depressions in the fields that the crop has an unpromising appearance, and there lis yt for these exceptions to. bo I Improved by favorable weather.

It may set down as among the strongest probabilities that there will be a large yield of wheat throughout this whole region the coming, harvest. Barley and rye are also in a premising condition. Fruit looks well, and unless it meets with' some disaster, not now probable, tbe yield will be exceptionally large. Grapes give unusual promise of a big crop. The Winter has-been the mildest experienced in tbe Ohio Valley for 20 years.

JUSTICE DISSE5TIJJG OPINION AS TO THE 'SCOPE OF FEDERAL YTashisotox, March 2.

The following is an abstract cf a part of the opinion read by Justice Field in the Tnlied States Supreme Court to-dsy, in the ease of th Commonwealth of Tirzinia upon petition for mandamus to compel th restaration of th Reynolds prisoners to the Stat authorities. After reviewing the. history of Jhe ease, and diseuasing the right of removal from State to Federal courts under seetioui 641 of the Revised Statutes, Justice Field maintains thijt the act authorizing the removal, before to tbe Federal courts, i of a criminal prosecution, for an offense against a law of the State, is unconstitutional aad void. The offense with which the prisoners in this rase are charged is against the authority and laws of the State, and ah alone bas tb right to inquir into it commission and to punish th offender. An offense within the limits of a ftste.

except where jurisdiction has been ceded to the United States, Is as maeb beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal courts as thongh tt had been committed on another continent. The prosecution of the offenders in such a esse does not. therefore, arise under the Constitution and law ot the United State, and tbe act ot Congress. Kwhich attempts to give the Federal courts I Jurisdiction of it is, in Justice Field's opinion, a clear infraction of the Constitution, which, defines and limits the Judicial power of tfee Federal Government. It ia difficult to believe that the wise men who sat in the onvention which trained the Constitutioa ever contemplated the possibility of 'a btate being required to assert it authority over offenders against its laws ia other tribnnals than those of its own creation, and.

Had it bea susnosed tbat a Ttowr so dangerous to the Independence of the Sftates, and so calculated to humiliate and. degrade them, lurked in any of the provision, qf the Constitution that instrument would never! have been adopted. There are many diftienlties in maintaining the position of -the Circuit Court. If a criminal prosecution of an offender against the laws of a -State can vbe I transierreu: to a eaerai court, waat omcer is -so prosecute the ease Is the Attorney of tbe Com-, monwealth to follow the case from' his county, or will the United States liistriet Attorney take charge of it Who is to summon tbe witnesses and provide for their fees I Jn jwhose name is judgment to be pronounced I If tne accused is convicted and ordered to be sentenced, who Is to enforce the sentence I If he is deemed worthy of Executive clemency who isto exercise it tbe Governor of the State or the President Of the United titatesT Ihese anl other questions which might be asked show the incongruity and absurdity of tbe attempted proceeding.

Undoubtedly, if in tbe trial of a case ia the Stafe court, a Federal question arise, the courts thereof may be renewed by the Feaeral Judiciary. Prevision for such revision waa made in the twenty.fifth section of the Judiciary Art of 1789. By that, I set harmony, between the Federal and rotate courts is secure, the ric.it of both Federal and State Governments are maintained, and every privilege and immunity waieh the accused couid rssert under either can be enforced.

SEPORT OP TBE COXXITTEX APPODTTTD BT THE BOARD-OP HXALTjB. The San Francisco papers of Fob. 22 bring wtth them a. full report of the action "taken by tbe Board of Health of that sity oa the previous day. declaring Chinatown a aaisanee and ordering the authorities to remove it from' tbe heart, of tbe city.

Chinatown ia bow located ta the baalaess part of San Francisco, oa lead which, it claimed, might be very valuable if it were devoted to business, par-poses. It embraces 13 square bloeks, through which numerous narrow alloys run In almost every direction, and la bounded by Stockton, aaraey, California, and Broadway streets. I The Board of Health, oa Fab. 2, oa motion of Mayor Kalloeb, appointed that gentleman, with Dr. Kenry a Gibbons, aad Health Officer J.

L. Mearea, a committee to Investigate the condition of and to recommend to the beard what measures should be taken cr th preservation of the city's health. After securing the opinion ot L. Murphy, tbe City aad County Attorney, aa to what legally constituted a nuisance, and the powers of the board to abate or remove a nisanses, the committee mad what it claims' to hav been a critical investigation of Chinatown, extending over a period of two weeks. Oa Satnraay, Fen.

21. tt presented its report, and it was upon this that tbe action of the board waa taken. Following is a condensation of tbe report. describes in detail many ot the filthy surroundings of the Chinamen. Taken as a Whole, it presents one of th most disgusting pictures ot low life Imaginable, and the sanitary possibilities which it portrays are alarming.

-According Aothe document, the first thins which impressed the committee upon visiting Chinatown was the unnatural crowding together of thousands of persons of both sexes ia spaces which should properly accommodate but hundreds of one sex. In such a contracted territory as that included in th Chines quarter. itU.OOO people could not exist under the most favorable eireumstanees, if they were by aature tne most aleanly of th bumau familywhich tb Chinamen are far from being without detriment to tbeir. own health and endangering the health of tbe city: But, added to tbe evils arising from packing bumau beings liKe sardines in a box. much more baneful influences were found at work tn the habitations ef thB Asiatic.

They were literally rceklne ia filth and drenched in Immorality. The committee first; visited an underground den in aa alley running from ackaou-strcet, to reach which two long thgbt of stairs bad to be descended. Near the entrance to this den are large waste-pipes, running from th water-closets and sinks of the building abov. which empty into open wooden boxes above tbe sewer. Tbe mass of filth which passes throueh the pipes is so great tbat very often the sewer is choked up for hours, and the trough run, over.

Filth of weary description was everywhere patent to the sense, both of sight and smell, and amlOall this stench and rottenness. In rooms 8 feet by 10 and 12 feet by 10. 12 persons est and sleep. In th stories abov ground all kinds of business are carried on. such as cooking, gambling, and tbe manufacture of overalls and cheap shirts for the working men of San Francisco.

This, tbe committee say, is but on specimen of many such underground dens which it visited jn Its trip of investigation, and is esteemed by the Chinamen as ou of tb aristocratic dwalliags of th eolocv. Others are mueh worse, and mere dangerous to the health of the Asiatics and of the city itself. In one basement, near th on described, 13 Chinamen make their bom and head -quarters in a room feet squsre. In another room, only 6 feet square, 10 men and women wsre found huddled together. "We may sav of these places." ssts the report, "that they are absolutely without proper ventilation, and it seems unaccountable how human eau live in them for a single sight.

The sickening stench arising from thousands of such places in toe very hewrt of our city would breed a plume in a week, if Providence In mercy did not open the Golden Gate and pour th cleansing breeze of the sea over us." The committee also found in one the dens a sys'tcmof fur-cacea. which, though It. speaks well for theenius and economy of the Chinaman, most be counted as a somewhat dangerous, element. In estimating on th probabilities of fires in Chinatown. In a room 8 feet long by 3 wide waa discovered a row of open ftre-plcs.

fashioned from tin oil-cans cut in halves, each half formiac a little furnace. These are frequently set on wooden floors or sbelves, the only protection against fire being a thin piece of tin. There are hundreds of these portable tinder-boxes in Chinatown, aad the hot coals were found smoldering In many of them th occasioh of the committee's visit" The different alleys throushout the quarter sre as of intolerable nnstiness." The walls of, the rooms are thick with dirt, slime, and sickening filth, the sewers in manv places are choked np. aud at every step slime oo2es np through the cracks in the flooring, while the tench of decaying vegetables snd the refuse of th tables is horrible. In the midst of all tbis filth," ssys the report, Chinamen may be seen manufacturing confectionery, assorting vegetables for family use in the' city, cleaning triue for our restaurants, and washing lace for our ladies.

Rooms were discovered rot mora than feet son sre, with Chinamen erowded upon wtth their little glass lamps' by their side, making tbe foul air fouler still the rnmes of opium, and some of them senseless from the ase ot tbe drug. Not a ray ot tunlisht or a breath of fresh air can erer penetrate here." In one aiieyway, after going 0wn stairs, an underground passage way several hundred feet long, wa encountered, hanked oa either side by rooms in which one person eonld srarreiy be comfortable above ground, but which are made to accommodate 10 or l'J ealh. At intervals of 6 or 10 feet little streams Smithy water ran ont from between the partitions. Sowed into a gutter which was cut along the centre of tbe p.tsssge. aad emptied Into an open sewer at the end.

I in Clay-street a basement was fouud in wbicb a score lot wretched Chinamen, suffering from loathsome diseases, were, huddled teeet her. The Chinese hriye no sympathy for their friends in sickness, aad. Isia rule, leave them tb die uueared for. In a bnildips ia street is wbat is known as the home of. the Chinese scavengers.

It is 40 feet long br 20 feet wide, and dimly lighted, day and night, bj.a single eamphetie lamp. Tnis room is the boarding and lodging house of 200 Chinamen, where tbey eat. smoke, gamble, aa'd'-sleep, surrounded by the filthr spoils which tbey hav cleaned from the gutters and ash-barrels during tUA- day. lu inmates hare a ghastly look, and are covered with a claramv perspiration. In this She bniTding over l.OOO men find lodgings.

In recommending the abatement of thb nuisance, the report says We ntteriy repudiate the Idea of beihg moved by any race prejudice or class hatred; in ibis matter. The Chinese ate Urine quite as de-eetftljr and cleanly as any people could do who have to five under similar eircumstaaces. The fault la tn aonditions. and tbe conditions ar undar oar control. The Chinamen were given notice of the action of the board almost before tbe citizens.

Curious little bits of paper, with Chinese bleroclyphicv conveying the new were posted on their most prominent buildings by order of the Six Companies. Tbey are said tetake tbe matter very coolly, and all attempts to draw from -them a opinion proved fa-tile. It is very evident that thy are not to th least alarmed. PICTURES BY RECEPTION OP THE ART STUDENTS' LEAGUE. Previous to their femoral to Boston forj exhibition.

Mr. Elihu Vedder loaned the entire collection of paintings by his own band, whieh.be has brought together, as well as ef photographs of absent work, to the committee in charge ef tne regular monthly reception of-the. Art Student' League. In some respects tbey were displayed In the long room of the league to better advantage than in tbe rooms Mr. Vedder hired on With the gas blazing down on them, and with tbe eyes ot the curious crowd within a few inches of the canvas, they had to stand an ordeal to which they are hardly likely to be subjected Mr.

Teddar's pictures are full of a singular effect which strikes some minds as grotesque, otQers as weird, others as positively terrible; and yet they need all th outaide helps which can be' given them in order to deepen th mystery at 'which tbey aim. For this reason the absolute baldness ot; the light more than did away witb thai advantage of seeing them bung all together easy Here they all ware tb Marty as." concerning which Mr. Vadder bad bis bow classic com bait with the editors of X'Art "Cumean Sibyl," hurrying along through a strange windy landscape with her written scrolls in br anas a photograph of "Tbe Lost Mind," which hi a bit ot fine imagination second to nothing produced by aa American painter another photograph of "The Lair of the Sea Serpent; th portrait-tkatah labeled UlroJamo, ana tn picture ot two spirits meeting after death. A portrait ot aa oisrl negreis, jane vacason. attraetea a good deal of noils owing to tb fact that it was an early work, which bas been in the possession ot th National Academy, and seldom if ever exhibited.
