¦xiaom.J uH accounts from roliabie sources in all parts of this
Plate have been received by mo, and 1 have the satUfac.lion of staling that they promise an abundant yield ofan crops except corn. The heavy and late rains have!¦undated ibe prairie Uads of the dial#, and theabsence ,,f dry weather has delayed the planting very¦uch. Farmers wbo planted corn early in most cas«sfound it rolling, and they replanted. Ibe grain dealers.f ibis city have had the bluoa very badly in conse-
«uonce, but belter weather for growing crops could notbe asked for now, and the usual corn yield is expectedprices, as a result of this, have fallen. The situation isIndeed hopeful, tmloss the winter set. In early and pre¬vents the crop maturing. All ovor the West fruit Isunusually abundant, and apples and peaches promise tobe as cheap as potatoes. I have the following reportafrom Illinois .

IOWA.The following cheering news coukb from this State.
The potatoe bug is playing his mischievous pranks withthis staple, and throatens to destroy the crop in somesuctions. Fruit is not much cultivated in the State:.Mawuiali, Marshall Countt..A large breadth of
wheat has been sown, and although the lateness of theseason preludes tho giving of an opinion as to the crop,
S resent appearances are favorable for an average yield,tuch corn that was planted early failed to come up, but
it has boon replanted and an average crop may be anti¬cipated. No more oats and barley than is required forhome consumption has been sown, but they look well.Fruit, aiid especially straw berries, promise an abund¬ance. Grass is improving very rapidly. Potatoes willbe an entire failure, as the bugs are making fearfulravages among the Rtailcs. Tbey have made their ap¬pearance in considerable numbers.Rknton County..A big yield expected In wheat thirty
bushels per acre. Corn doing well. Oata and barley,fair prospect. Fruit and grass average.Croak County..Wheat lino.about twenty bushels

fine start. Grass and roots, very fair prospect.Fairfax. Linn County..Wheat, about twenty-three
bushels per acre; one* third more ground sown than for¬mer years. Oats, barley and rye, hay and fruit, fairyield. Potatoes are being destroyed by the bugs.
I have reports from nearly all the other counties ofthe State confirmatory of tho above statements. OneOSRWMDdeait writes "1 ho prospect for wheat wasnever better in Iowa at this time of the year than It isat present. A great deal of corn has boen planted, andmuch of it is now coming tip, and while admitting thati he season is backward I can but believe, judging the
future by the past, that there is yet time for an abun¬dant harvoit of corn, wbeat and oats In 1867."

St. Lome, June 12, 1887.My last letter, exposing the stnaptail character of the
national honks, was written front Chicago before I badan opportunity of fully Investigating their management
in the interior. I have Jast visited some of the prin¬cipal towns In the rural districts, and some startlingrevelations are the result.One of the great items of business is advances to grain
and stock dealers. To illustrate this 1 will give sn in¬stance. In one of the Interior towns there is a hankwhose capital stock is $200,000. In the tame town re¬
sides a largs dealer, who supplies the Eastern marketwith cattle. This dealer is a man who has no personalassets to offor as security for accommodation;yet he baa made arrangements with tbisbank by which bo draws upon it without limit.When he purchases from two hundred to live hundredhead of cattle be pays for tbem In the shape of draftsupon the bank, in which be has no fundu. The bankhonors the drafts, frequently to the amount of $100,000per week, or fifty per cent of its entire capital, in directviolation of section fortv-seven of the act, which pro-vidos that "the total liabilities of any person or of anycompany or firm (including in the liabilities of a com¬
pany or Arm the liabilities of the several membersthereof) to any association, including liabilities as
acceptor of fond fitle bills of exchange, payable out ofthe State where the association is located, Ahull at notime exceed one-third ; exclusive of liabilities as
acceptor, one-flfth ; and exclusive of linlrilWn on suchbills of exchange one-lm'h part of the amount of the capitalstock of such association actually paid in."The dealor ships the oattle to the Eastern market, dis¬
poses of them, and if he be honest places the amount ofhis indebtedness to the credit of the bank. Should hefeel disposed to proflt by the confidence of the bank hecan easily pocket the proceeds of sale and leave thebank In the larch, with one half of Its capital lost inono transaction. I am aware that one bank accommo¬dates ono dealor to the amount of half its capital stockweekly, and how much they accommodate others it isimpossible to say. It is certainly, to say the least of It,
a looso and dangerous way of doiug business, which canonly be accounted tor on the supposition that the officersof the bauk are interested In the profits accruing on thesales. This is a representative case, and one half thebanks of the Interior are guilty of like violations everyday, using the government deposits for their own benefit,which is not unfrequently twice the amount for thesecurity of which they bave deposited bonds in theTreasury.
Section 51 of tbe act provides for an examination ofthe banks by an otneer appointed by tho Comptroller ofthe Currency. This examination is a huge humbug. Ilearn that all through the West the banks are Intbe habit of hoodsrlnking the examiners by variousmeans. Tbe moment an examiner enters upon bisround and visits a bank, telegrams like the following aresent by the President or bis cashier to their correspond¬ents:."Examiner is inspeotlac us to-day. He goes to
to morrow. Bo ready for him."Tbe ofllcer receiving tbis despatch at once prepares his
account to make a good showing, and should it be un-satisfaotory be not unfrequently borrows checks andother paper, agd nnder tbe mysterious heading ol"cash items," fcc. , tbe work of preparation is complete.Frequently these checks are borrowed from other banksfor a day to enable a cashier to make up his swornstatement, and returned to the party from whom bor¬rowed next day.Cases have been reported to me where these examiners
have been dined and winsd until they wero no longer ina condition to examine the books, when tbey were in-
Tiled behind tbe counter, and, after turning over a fewleaves, they would remark, "Ob, you are all right; it isunnecessary to examine your institution." The resultof tbis laxity is that the examiner makes his report totbe Treasury that sueh banks are in a flourishing con¬dition, tbe stockholder*, the government and tbe de¬positors are deceived, and tbe upshot sometimes is asuspension and tbe development of rascalities such asthoee that bave recently disgraced New Orleans, Selmaand other places.
In most instances the small depositor is ths sufferer ;but occasionally the government Is a loser also, as thebanks hold out Inducements of from two to four per cent
to officers for deposits of government funds, which veryfrequently largely exceed tbs amount of funds depositedat Washington to secure this item. I could name bankswhich have fully $1,000,000 in tbeir possessionwhich is secured by less than $360,000 in bonds.One bank in this city, with a capital slock or but$300 000, has $1,800,000 deposits, much of which Is bygovernment officers, one-fourth or which is not securedby bonds. What a One opportunity is here presented fora clever speculation.Let me illustrate tbis by a dialogue that took place .
few weeks ago between a gentleman in Chisago and tbeprovident or a Western national bank.rKssmurr.I am delighted with tbe banking system.
It Is so profitable.Mr. B. .In what way ?PassiDRirr.Ths government business. We have over
one million dollars government deposits, which we turnto sccount for increasing the dividends.
Mr. B .Is it possible t And how much have you de¬posited u> secure these deposits ?
Prssidsmt.Only one hundred thousand dollars.Mr. B..It is strange the government will conduct
businsss so haxardously. Hew does it come tbey sre notmore carerul tPxapiDsrr (with a smllei.Oh, that is easily explained.

Umnoi States Steamr Oosola, 1Astoiwall, May 30, 1MT. )
We left this port very suddenly on tbe 4th Instant,having received intelligence from the Ualted StatesConsul at Cartbagena that the steamer Rayo, lata R RCuyler, bad been seised by the Spanish frigate Navas dsTolosa, and held for szpianstion, for which forty daysdays woro granted, and that the said steamer Rayo hadon board United States citizens and seamen, who, Kwss stated, were deceived and enticed to go on
board by Messrs. Brown k Dallard. said Brownk Dallard promising them transportation backto New York with themaelves from Asplnwall,the supposed destination of the ship. Underthose articles she shipped through Messrs. Clark k Sonshipping agents, Peck slip, New York, ten seamen. Th.following is a correct statement of one of the seamen,who applied to tbe United States Consul at Carthagsoafor protection, and a copy of his report to the Unltrt(states Minister .On ths 25th of January, 1M7, we shipped at Messrs,
Clark & Son's, corner of Peck slip and .South streets,New York, for the steamer R R Cuyler, to take her toAsplnwall, and return with Captains Brown and Dallardto New York. On tbe 28th of February we west onboard and wore ordered forward to work at tbe mmtime. Clark's runner put the list of our names In Cap¬tain Brown's possession, saying, at the time, .There areyour men."
This ship was cleared from the Custom Honse by Cap¬tain Dallard for Aspinwall. After going into the streamwe took on boon) a schooner-load of powder, and pro¬ceeded to sea. Tho pilot left us about ten o'clock ontlie night of tho 28th of Fobruary On the nest day theCaptain called ua all aft and divided ua into meases,when lo 1 tbe suppoeed steerage and cabin passengersturned out to be her future officers and crew. Duringthe day Captain Brown ordered ua down In tbe Sreroom;and from that time until we arrived at Santa Martha wewere obliged to perform the double duty of firemenand seamen. All they gave us to eat was salt beefand bard bread, and not a sufficient quantityof that When they (tbe officers) dividedthe men into messes, the crew went aft and told CaptainBrown that they did not get enough to eat ; neither didthey come there to be made men-of-war's-men. On oneoccasion tbsy took the stuff they received to eat aft andMked Captain Brown if be thought that it was enough tosustain them. That worthy ordered them forward, say¬ing that he did not know them Now It will beremembered that these were tbe very men that hadbeen shipped bjr his orders and whose names be held onon a list. Ths men then ssked who did know them, ifho did not? Whereupon he tamed on his heel aad left,not deigning to answer. The msb began to smell apretty large mice, but said nothing.On the 6th of March, about two o'clock A. M., sighted
a light on the starboard how, which, when reported toCaptain Brown, was said to bo a Hght on the land. Hewas, however, mistaken, for In fifteen minutes we ranInto a full rigged brig, striking her forward tbe forechains, completely demolishing tbe bow of tbebrig and knocking the bowsprit out of her,leaving bar in a belplees and sinking condition,without even stopping to inquire Into hercircumstances. <. Tbe last I saw of her," says the manon the lookout, "she was cat to the water's edge fromtbe cbslas forward."
After this humane piece of basineM nothing trans¬pired until the day before we arrived In Santa Martha,when a man, who bad hitherto been considered as apassenger, came forward and offered to make pettyofficers of the ten New Yorkers as aa inducement tostay. They all refused to take the positions and toldhim that ther did not know anything about him or hisbillets. He then said that they bad better not refaManything they were offered, stating that he was In com¬mand there and that he was Lieut. Bean Shand, of theColombian Nevy.We arrived in Saata Martha the tth of March. Hare a
very interesting scene loo'- place. Captain Dallard wenton shore, and when he returned the officers hauled downthe Stara and Stripes and ran up Colombian colors atthe peak. The men went aft and demanded anexplanation and ware Informed by the Lieutenant thatail wo ild be explained on the following morning. Ac¬cordingly the next morning they were all mastered aftHe told them he had made the ten petty officers, andbe wished the officers and men to respect them, aa theyhad signed- to serve the Colombian government Themen then refused to serve under the Colombian flag,saying that they had been tricked and were the dupea oftwo scheming scoundrels, who, when they shipped,promised tbem a passage back to New York. Hearingtbl«, the Lieutenant ordered the patty officers and ma¬rines forward to their duty. The marines and some ofthe petty officers obeyed, but the tea remained on thequarter deck. He asked them what they ware doingthere. They told him they wished to see Captain Dal¬lard. Captain D. walked out of the cabin and inquiredwhat they wanted. They told him they had shippedwith the intention of returning home with himaad wanted to know why they ware treated so. Helaughed and told them they must bave thought him afool. The lieutenant then aaat ft* a bax or irons andone box of navy revolver*, aad gave them to understandif they did not have leas talk he would put them wherehe thought they would be safe. The men eeaing theywere Jaraed (as they termed it) submitted with aa good

THE BUHDAT EXODUS.The Mason has now arrived whan the ecurrence or
Sunday witnesses the departure, both by steamboat andrail, of thousands of our citizens, whose only opportu¬nity for enjoying tbe pleasures incident to extra-urbanexcursions ia presented on the first day of the week.With New Yorkers of all classes a desire to get into thecountry daring tbe prevalence of hot weather la univer¬sal. Tbe wealthy denizens of the metropolis remove to thecostly watering places, and for a plentiful lack of accom¬
modation therein, and for tbe lassitude engendered by,ashionabIe dissipation they submit to the most inordi¬nate charges. Others, not blessed with such a profusionof wealth, prefer to give fashion the go-by, and en¬
sconce themselves during tbe solstice in the cosycottage of some farmer, where plain and wholesomefood, pure air and tbe "run of the farm" for exerciseenable them to return to the city invigorated in health,and better able to cope with the toil and labor that thebusy fall season ushers In. Still others find themselvescompelled to endure tbe city's heat and dost everyworking day of the week, and obtain a few draughts offrexh air only by a rural excursion on Sunday, returningin the evening to undergo tbe toll and sweltering of citylife for six lonx days to come. Thousands of this latterclass left the city for suburban districts yesterday.The steamer Port Royal took a large load of passen¬
gers to Rockawsy, L. I., on each of Its trips (seven A. M.and two P. M. ), from the foot of Warren street. These,after enjoying the Invigorating breezos wafted from oldocean over "Long Island's sea-girt shore," returned bytbe steamer at half-past four and balf-past nine P. M.
Fort Leo was tbe site selected by hundreds whereon torustioate yesterday, and the steamer Thomas E Halsnmade several trips there, each of which was wellpatronized.
Pleasant Valley and Bull's Ferry also bad their pa¬trons, who left by tbe steamer Palisade, from the footof Twenty-second street, tbe boat making several tripsduring tho day, and being heavily laden with livingfreight on every occasion.
A very large number of excursionists took tbe steamerThomas Collyer, from Uie foot of Warren street, andwere landed in parties at Yonkers, Hastings, Iiobbs'Kerry, Irvmgton, Sing Sing, Haverstraw, Cozr<*ns\ ColdSpring, Cornwall and Newburg, returning to the city byboat and rail In the evening.The steamer Sylvan Grove took several boat loads to
Harlem; and the Sylvan Stream, running to Whitestone,City Island, New Rocbelle and Glencove, had numerouspassengers journeying to thoso various rural places.Yookers is a favorite place of Sunday resort for
many, and the steamer L. Boardman, which runs there,was tilled with a crowd of pleasure seekers.For several years past It has been customary with
miny to make a Sunday trip to Bergen Point or Nowarkoftentimes during the summer. These found ample op¬portunity ror so doing by taking tbe steamer Thomas P.Way, which makes three trips to these Jersey townsevery Sabbath.Hundreds of persons, bent either on business or
pleasure, took tbe Now York and Troy ^Wpany'ssteamer, from pier 44 North river, last evening, desirousof enjoying a moonlight sail up the North river; but theseries of showers that set in about seven P. M. doubt¬less detracted greatly from the pleasure they fondlyanticipated from their trip.The above are tbe principal water avenoes by which
those who desired to ruralize temporarily found theirway out of the crowded city ; but, in addition to these,thousands of people filled the cars that run to tbe subur¬ban districts, and spent tbe day in the enjoyment ofthose pleasures that attach to the many delightful spotscontiguous to tbe metropolis. The rain that came downin the evening marred to some extent the enjoymentthey had experienced during the day, and caused tbecars on tboir return trips to be crowded to excess.
¦USICAL AMD DRAMATIC GOSSIP.The closing concert of the Mendelssohn Union took
place at Irving Hall on the 18th rask before a crowdedhouse. The programme consisted of Berg's third mass,
