The circular of Rlackmar, Rol*rtn,
Cr uller A Co., Commission merchant*of
Si. Loui*. dated the loth inat, contains
H >m»» ltitesting srntoment* and specula-
t concerning the supply and future
j.ri M s «.f corn and provisions. As regards
the corn crop of the country, they say :
* l’he crop in the first place is more
th in two million bushels short. In tho
m .ml place a very large percentage of
this crop wa* spoiled, and in the third
ph-c the high price of pork has induced a
\ rv liberal consumption of corn npon the
faiiu. leaving the amount of sound mer
chantable corn available for market un
it-ually small. 'i bis is shown to be true
by the fact that the stock stated to be in
si..ic at all important points is very much
under the average. When the demands
of tli • cotton States are considered, with
tho probability of a lurge increase in the
demand for consumption on the “Plains"
this KQosnu by reasou of great emigration,
ov. ry candid mind will conclude that tho
probabilities for a considerable rise in
the price am.»unt to almost an absolute
certainty.”
They estimate the pork packing at very
ne nly the same aggregate as that of Inst
winter- perhaps one hundred or one hun-
lr -1 and fifty thousand hogs more. They
allude to the smallness of the stock on
hand nt tho commencement of oppern-
tions this winter, and to the fact that
packing commenced earlier than usual,
and add:
“When these facts before us, and the
f'irtlier fai th that a much larger area will
be planted to cotton this year, and that
emigration—ever consumptive of bacon
hi d corn bread- is pouring in a great tide
iti'o the South ut this raoiuout, we cannot
bc'jevo that a much greater reduction in
price* c tli possibly l*o forced, and we
firmly believe that it would be the part of
wisdom for planters to purchase their Ha-
t"i» 1 he amount of side meat out
».f smoke, and available, is very light, and
any t-ndden increase in orders will be sure
to push prices up a cent. Mess pork ronv
P *ssibly touch $21, but we are inclined to
b.ilieve that an advance is very shortly to
t .ko place in this article, unless tho
amount of hogs yet to arrivo, very largely
overgoes ino.non head. We feel pretty
sure that tho bulk of the mess pork stock
"ill m*U at from $28 to $:W> take tho year
through."
V. believe that those are very reliable
calculations by our St. Louis friends.
Indeed our readers may remember that
'vo iundo predictions of tho continued
high price of corn and bacon several
weeks ago. Wo could not then see—
neither can wo now sec—any good reason
to hope ^or a material decline at any
time throughout the year.
In view of the facts and opinions of
this circular, above noted, we aro rather
surprised at advice which it gives to tho
cotton planters concerning tho pitching of
their crops for this yenr, viz :
“ 1 he North will plant an imraonse corn
crop this year and we predict that when it
conio* upon the market fully it will not
rauge much over 4<MS 10 cents per buthcl
if ns high. In view of this fset it would
s. cm most excellent policy for the south
to plant nil cotton and sugar they can take
care of, and rely U|»on tho North for their
corn and pork.
There is no proposition plainer to
coiuprohcuMon than that a neglect to raise
corn and pork at tho Houth will help to
I ring about or keep np the high prices of
those commodities in their great produc-
ing regions. It may help tho western
farmers and j»ork raisers, but how will it
uffect the cotton planter? It is at least
doubtful whether a largo cotton crop
will bring more money to tho pockets of
the planters than a small one , and if they
pursue a policy that forces them to buy
corn and bacon from the West, and at the
same time helps to ran up the price of
those necessaries of life, what profit can
they dorive from an increase of the cot
ton crop? If three millions of bales will
K.U for ns much monoy for nearly a>
much > as four millions, would not the
better policy be to keep tho crop down to
three millions and devote the surplus la
bur to the raising of corn ? Lot planters
rotuombor that they “relied upon the
North for their corn an pork" last year,
or for a great |>ortion of it: and that the
com crop of that region was cut short,
while its pork crop is not so great
afford us any rereonable prospect of cheap
bacon. What has happened once may
happen again.

THE NEW RENATOR8—80 CALLED.
Private dispatches received in this city
report the eleotion of Poster Blodgett, II.
P. Farrow, and R. H. Whitely as United
States Senators. They are the Radical
nominees, selected in caucus the night
previous, and the terms claimed for thorn
are the following : Blodgett from the 4th
of March 1871, to the 4th of March 1877:
Farrow for the unexpired term from the
4th of March 18ti7, to the 4th of March
1878; Whitely for the short fractional term
expiring on the 4th of March Wl.
At the Radical caucus held on Monday
night, when these nominations were made,
there were 82 votes cast. Blodgett and
Farrow were nominated without serions
opposition; but the negroes claimed the
Senator for the short term, and put in
nomination Wallace, Simms, Beard and
Turner, of their own rare. They also
claimed that the white Rads had promised
them this term. But their white brethren
had the thing all in their own hands, and
they ruled the nogroes “ineligible !” The
first balloting stood—Wallace 18, Mott 16,
Whitely 28, Loehrane 1, and a few scat
tering. The name of Mr. Mott was then
withdrawn, and the next balloting stood -
Whitely f»4. Wallace 2.’. and a few seatter-
Home of tho negroes thereupon
made demonstrations of disappointment.
io of them refused to pledge their
support to tho nominees, saying that they
would have a meeting of their own on
Tuesday morning, and thou determine
what they would do.
At the election held on Tuesday—the
•o Houses voting separately—Blodgett
received 81 votes in tho Senate and 8t in
the House; Farrow received 29 votes in
the Senate and 78 in the House: and
Whitely received 28 votes in tho Senate
and 82 in the House. So it appears that
tho negroes were “whipped in.” Only
two or three of them, in tho House, voted
for ono of tboir own color. The Demo
crats did not vote.
It thus appears that neither of the Radi
cal nominees had a clear majority of a fill!
House.
Two worse men, politically, than Blodg
ett and Farrow, could not have been found
in tho State. Wo confess to ignoraneo n?
to the qualifications or antecedents of Mr.
Whitoly. Ho lives in Decatur county.
Sith a Lroisi.ATrnv!—We doubt il
such a compound of knavery and igno
rance as tho present legislature of Ala
bama and the officers thoronf. was over
before collected as a legislative body,
would have suited the time* of Jack Cade
admirably. Every week--it seems to be
every day recently—some new exposure of
rascality or ignorance is mado. One of
the officers has been expelled for theft,
and at least one other iwe believe two or
three) for incompetency ; one of the morn,
bers was lately on trial for subornation of
perjury, and wo believe that ho is still
threatened with indictment for that
offence, ah well ns for suspected i
Another has been “relieved" from tho
penalties for fraudulent voting. The latest
instance of the corruption that prevails
furnished by the report (noticed in tho
proceedings of Tuesday) on the alteration
of a bill after its engrossment. Thin ap
pears to be n new kind of “lobbying," and
is doubtless a cheaper mode than the
buying of a majority of the members to
pans a bill in the exact shape desired.
Congress upset the late legislature of
Georgia, because its members had not
taken tho teat oath. Now here is a Login
latnre of Alabama, whose members also
failed to take that oath, and in which such
things are daily done aa must bring
American legislation into derision and
contempt. Why docs not Congress take
it in hand ?
UinVEMITY OF THF. SoiTII, HgWAKtK
TrwxRRra.—'Hie idea of establishing
University that would be located in our
midst, and worthy of the great future that
was before us, originated with l<eonidas
Polk, late Bishop of Iswiisiana, in W»
In 18.17, after consultation with Trrtste
appointed by tho ten Southern Dinrswi,
it was determined to place the University
at Kewanci-, Tenn., and nine thousand
acres of land were obtained by grant and
purchase. An endowment was secured by
the efforts of Bishops Polk and Elliott,
tho corner stone was laid in lKfiO, and
buildings commonsurate with tho means
in the hands of the Trustees were begun
During the war every thing combustible
belonging to the University was destroyed
Since tho close of military operations the
original plan lias boon revived, oontribu
tions obtained, the Junior Department has
been put in operation, and the lands
< conditionally given) secured. Nearly one
hundred young men are pursuing their
studies thore, and hundreds more could be
obtained if there were room to lodge and
instruct them. The Trustees have sent
out Rev. O. I*. Thackora to raise #2.1,000
to erect the necessary additional buildings.
He will call upon somo of our citizens
to-day, and wo hope that ho will meet with
a reception worthy of the object of his
mission.
A special Washington dispatch of the
12th to the Atlanta Constitution says that
tho friends of Dr. Miller are very confi
dent he will get his seat, while Mr. Hill
chances are more doubtful. The infor
once is that ('ongress is expected to ap
prove acts done by the Legislature that
were not determined by the votes of mem
bora declared ineligible, or expulsion of
the negro members. Dr. Miller had a
majo ty so large that the resnlt would not
have been affected by the rejection of the
votes of tho “lneligibles.'' and the elec
tion was held before the expulsion of the
negroes.

tion providing for
States Senators.
Sir. Scott, of Floyd, obtained the floor,
and spoke in opposition to the resolution.
He said he knew the Radicals would urge
that they should elect on to-morrow, a*
that was the second Tuesday after organi
zation. anil that the State Constitution re
quired an election by that time. But he
said that this law was not recognized by
the Speaker or the powers tix.. r ruled us.
If it waa then the House was i legally or
ganized, a* a register in bankruptcy hod

law required ihe qualification to be made

He thought they were hi u dilemma.
Aaron was seen winking at the “onl-

significance of the w ink. j
O Neal, of Low ndes, disensse*! th> mat

Mr. Scott ro*e t*‘ a p*>int of order. The
Rul.-s ui the Hon.'*' retjuired the House to
adjourn at 1 o’clock, and he moved to ad
journ.
Speaker ruled that O’Neal, of
Lowndt *. bad the t!is*r. and he could riot
entertain the motion.
Hr. Scott said the Speaker had ruled
the other occasions that a motion to
atijottrn was always in order.
the Speaker soul he hail never enter
tained such a motion while a member was
peaking.
O'Neal continued in favor of the reso
lution.
Mr. Turner, tool..) of Bibb, interrupted
him and said said he was one of those
who was opposed to the election of Sena
tors tomorrow, if it could be avoided.
He desired to ask < I’Neal if the Legisla
ture could not decliue to act ill the elec
tion of Senators, and remain a territorial
government ?
Turner seemed to be afraid that their
action in the premise* might make the
Co*Ie of Georgia the law, and enable the
Democrat* to get possession of the gov
ernment. [Thn threw light on Aarou’s
winks, especially when taken iu cotineo-
with Aaron s fnlmination.
O'Neal wandered about trying to ex
plain. but sat down finally, when the pre
vious question was called and carried, and
the resolution adopted.

Mr. Welborn was permitted to record

The Senate then took a recess until llrlh)

12 O’Ulock M. —Senate re-assembled.
A message from the House was re
ceived.
Mr. Nnnnally offered the following reso
lution :
Whereas, by the Legislature of 1 Stiff,
Dr. H. V. M. Miller was regularly elected
to the unexpired short term of the United
States Senate; and
Whereas, the Congress of the United
States has since passed an act to further
promote reconstruction in the State of
Georgia, and by virtue of said act several
persons then members and voting in said
election have been declared ineligible: and
Whereas, it is a well settled fact that af
ter counting oat all the illegal votes, Dr.
H. V. M. Miller still has a majority of all
the votes cast: be it
Resolved by the Senate and House,
That there can be no election for said un

The Presi jnt sustained the point • i
i provided by resolution of yesterday, to
bring on an election for United Staten
Senators.
Mr. O’Neal rose to a point of order.
No objection was nmde on yesterday, and
no notice of reconsideration given. The
resolution bad been transmitted to the
Senate, and had pussed beyond the cou-
trrl of the House.
Mr. Shiunate said the Senate was not
iu -cs-ion when the resolution was con-
, curved in. and that it had never been
•1 1 transmitted : it was still in tho House.
Speaker rul**d that the motion could not
be entertained.
Fit/.patrick, of Bibb, appealed from the
decision. Yens and nay* called; yeas 7ti,
nays :*.«*•. Decision sustained.
Somebody wanted to take a recess until
12 tu.. but tho Speaker said there were
several present to be sworn in.
W. B. Smith. U, S. Court Clerk, wa* in
at tend.* nee to do the swearing.
Mr. Brewster, of Harris, Mr. Smith, of
Telfair, and Mr. Bennett, of Jacksou.

tion into full membership.
Brewster’s name was sent in by Bullock,
as “next highest to ineligible Hudson.”
He slid iu gracefully.
Bennett, of Jackson, was one of the
“old issue.’* and no objection being made,
he went in magically: but Smith, of Tel
fair. being elected under Bullock's procla
mation in one of the counties whore no
election was originally held, was objected
to as no! having be*eu endorsed by “His
Excellency."
Mr. Scott moved to admit Mr. Smith,
1 Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, moved l<»
take a recess until 11 j o’clock.
t IN cal's motion was carried, and the
otise took a recess accordingly.
After recess the House was called to or
der by the Speaker.
A message from “His Excellency,” etc.,
.as here announced and read. * It pro
ided (Jor the House has a Commissary)
that Joel Harris, of Glasscock, being “next
highest,” in place of J. II. Nunn, “ineli
gible.” should be sworn in.
This was accordingly done.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, again colled for
the admission and qualification of Smith,
of Telfair.
T he Speaker said that ho had Already
decided that such a course would bo trav
eling out of “the reconstruction track,"
;md he could not now entertain the mo
tion.
Johnson, of Spalding, offered absolu
tion that the House now proceed to elect
three Senators, in tho following order:
For the long tenn, first; Rocond term,
second : and short term last.
Mr. Bryant gave notice that he would
file a protest against action in the preiu*
Mr. Tweedy nominated Hon. Foster
Blodgett for the “long term.”
The clerk then proceeded to call tha
roll.
Scott, of Floyd, when his name waa
called, declined to vote, and handed in a
protest against the action. All the Dem
ocrats declined to vote.
The Speaker declared that Foster Blod
gett received 8»* votes, and Harrison, col
ored, of Franklin, 1; and that Blodgett
was elected.
Somo ono then nominated “circumlo
cution Furrow” for the second best term.

The vote stood as follows: H. P. Far
row, 78; W. A. Golden, colored, 1; Geo.
Wallace, colored, 1.
Mr. Turner voted for Wallace. He
now desired to change to Farrow. He
hail promised to “vote for a nigger"—he
hail done it, and his conscience waa satis
fied—a worthy turner!
O’Neal, of Lowndes, nominated Rich
ard II. Whitely.
A negro nominated “Hon. James 31.

Mr. Gober nominated Coal.
The vote stood as follows: Whitely, 62;

THE DYING PARSON.
*i here is a spectacle in the Senate
which ought, perhaps, to receive, but
which oftener repel* the commiseration
of those who look upon it. This ia the
palsied, perishing figure of Parson
llrowalow. As regular as the noon the
almost helpless old man is assisted to hi*
seat —a hair cloth easy chair on the left of
the Speaker—in which he roclinea, trem
bling a'l over and constantly, like a sha
ken j» Uy. Seen from the gallery, his
swarthy face looks like that of a malig
nant Indian. His lips contort themselve*
unpleasantly, and his hands, twitching in
ever}- finger, remind ono of a couple of
•nornion* spiders crawling over his leg*
and along the arm* of his chair. Once in
awhile tho right hand mokes a tremen
dous expedition to tho desk in front, and
returns with a handkerchief dangling be
tween tho thumb and fiugor*. Some
time*. with great effort, it carries a glass
of water from the ridgo of tho deak to
the old man's mouth. Part of the time

Whenever tho debate is earnest or an
interesting question is uppermoat—partic
ularly if it concerns the Houth, or his own
State of Tennessee—he listens to it as if
it weut through every pore ; the big dark
veins of his temple grow bigger and
darker; the desk *hakes with the shaking
of hi* legs; his hAiids clutch venomously
at his t rows era, and the peculiar writhing
of hi* limits mokes it appear as if be
would give np all his lifo after that one
moment, if for tho moment he had
- gih to get on his feet, and pour

a his enemies. But he has no strength
left to speak, and wa* compelled tha oth
er day to have the personal explanation of
hi* course in regard to recent political
event* in Tennessee, which he has pre-
jtared in manuscript, read by the clerk.—
Some expression* in it were abuaive of

the easy chair so rucked him at this junc

feeble condition, the reuding might be
