t0a Thursday night" saEs the palladium,
when the Fair Haven Wide Awakes, some
eeycuty-four in number, had crossed the dyke
mud we're passing through that part of Graud
street inhabited almost exclusively By Demo-
crats, 4 mob Of rowdies collected from the
ncighborhood, attacked the procession, show
cred stones and b1ickba,s upon it for distance
OF several blocks, and did not desist from their
inferrM and coHardly outrages until about
twenty mea Of the PROCESSION had been
knocked down and more or less injured! One
nan had his head badly cut by a brickbat, after
one other had struck him In the back; another
had terrible blow Oh the eye and cheek b5 a
stone, after be had been hit :veral times with
cut serious injury; auother was hit twice By
brickbats, and was at last felied By q boulder
which struck him On the head, infl'cting xeri-
Gus injury. Some we're 50 badly hurt that they
could nor stand, aud had to be cnrried until the
company reached the Doctors; others bound
up their wounds as well Is they could and stuck
to the raoks, though suffering considerably;

their number was reduced to forty-twol

This morning opened finely in both branches
Of Congress. In the Senate the Senatorial Cau-
Gus Resolutions Of JEFF. Davis we're tue order Of
theday, md in the House the Polygamy Bill.
The good-lookiug Delaware Senator, Sauls-
burr, opened the days discussion by making a
Delaware speech, very nicely written, rather Sc
we're upon the Republican party, and very enlo~
sis1ie Of the Union-oue Of those speeches with
which you could not hare the hen1t to find fault,
but which never contain point. He was fol-
lowed By Senator TcpEyck, of New jersey, who
made New Jersey speech, in which he spoke
in the most emineutlY complimentary terms Of
the blessed Union, mad announced that New
Jersey was true to the Union and the Constitu-
tlon, which all were glad to hear.
Senator Brown, Of Mississippi, follow ed in one
OF his characteristic speeches, which, as it
handled living question, commanded consid-
erable attention. he pitched into JEFF. Davis's
resolutions round1y, and indicated pretty dis.

From the foregoing it is evident that now at
The opening Of navigation We find that 5.05s, ,Cs3
bushels Of the corn crop have already been mar.
keted, wien under usual circumstances dclir-
cries have only commenced. But The same
fact which caused this early movement Of
the corn crop occasioncd an additional
draft On it for home consumption. It is well
known that the farmers all through the
State, instead Of feeding their hogs on old corn
had to supply them with new-some Of it when
just in the milk. This would take from fifteen
to twenty millions Of bushels; for the farmers
use leo per cent. more cern in the winter
months than in the summer, and the average
consumption Of corn in Illinois is usually esti-
mated At $4,000 bushels annually.
In estimating the corn crop Of Illinois, the
crop Of 1865 is usually placed as the largest ever
known. OF that crop in 1856, the receipts at
Chicago amounted to 1l,sSs,S9s bushels, and
Only 45s,340 bushels were received before the
1st of April. In that same year the receipts ut
St Louis amounted to only l,o93,s64 bushels.
By tho illinois and Michigan Canal NC received
1871 S25 bushels, and by the Galcua and Chica
90 Union Railroad, 3,5s7 900 bushels, which, we
believe. at TINT date, included also the receipts
by The Burlington 1,ailroad. In that year tue
only markets for Illinois corn were Chicago and
St. Louis, the cross railroads not then being
built. So that 70 the large crop Of 1856, the
deliveries Gully foot up as follows:

Receipts At 81 Louis 1864

It is probable that in 1856, corn to some ex-
tent was shipped to Minnesota, but ef that ,se
have no record, and can make no estimate.
Supposing, therefore, that the surplus crop Of
1859 Is no larger than that Of 1865, it would fol
low that Chicago aad St. Louis together will re-
ceive only about 5000, 900 bushels from now to
the close Of the year, as there has already been
delivered over 100000. True, the State Of
Iowa since that date has 1nade great increase
ia her cercnls, but it is also TO be borne in mind
that We will hare to supply Wisconsin and
portions Of Northern Illinois, and also leave the
turner's thcir usual stock to feed hogs next fall
aud winter.
Operators in Corn are in the habit Of refer
ring to 1856 as guide, both Us regards stocks
aud prices. In that year prices opened in Feb
ruary at 4o@43c, and heavy contracts we're
made at those figures for april and May dcliv-
cry. Navigation, however, opened late, and
lake freigAts for corn to Buffalo we're Ice, and
to Oswego, 1Cc. But the corn shclled in winter

1t will bc remembered That a bill for the abo-
liion Ct the Wisconsin collection laws was dis
cusscd at considerable 1cagth in one branch
Of the Legislature Of that State, at its recent
session, ard on test motion majority put
themselves OH record in favor Of the measure.
For some reason or other, instead Of being
pressed to fiEal vote, the bill was referred to
committee, aud never heard ofatte.ward. 1t

that the preposal to dispense with all laws for

"tASkAAn1AON JOURNALISM.
1i'c fepuoEie and Era having both failed,
owing their subscribers a considerable sum
1oF advance subscriptions, Mr. Lewis CIepbaue,
oi Washington, proposes to commence new
paper with tile subscription lists Of the two
Journals, provided the Republican Association
will advance $4,000, the amount necessary to
enable him to supply, at first cost these i'd
vance subscribers to tho end Of the timo for
which they have sevcraliy paid. These facts
arc not nattering to Washington journalism,
though they reveal nothing new: Tho Era is
the oily paper in that city which has ever paid
its propretors dollar from legitimate profits
ofhis business, aud hut for the want of financial
skill in lis management and the s3cial rich
ness Of Dr.. Bailey which led him into style
Of living Incompatible with his roceipts, it
might hare been alive and prosperous to-day.
At one time it was paying concern: but
when money earned in the newspaper Lusi.
noss, instead Of being returned to that business
IN the way Of improvements, is squaudered in
the Win attempt to compete with Presidents,
and Foreign Ministers, collapse may be Ger
tainly predicted. If the $4,000 per annum
which the Era made when it was almost the
only organ Of moderate Anti-slavery opinion,
had been devoted to correspondents, typo-
graphical improvements, and tho payment Of
editorial talent, its failure would never have
been recorded. We regret that the a,niable
and excellent gentleman who made the Era do
SO much for tho Republican party could not
have seen this bef:ro it was tco late.
Tho Republic has been in a starving condi-
tioa ever since it was established. It had
merit enough, but 70 industry: It was, VIC
have been told, mainly kept up by the money
ofFrancis r Blair, Senior, and to his prao-
tlced pen it was indebted fur The occasional
attractions which it possessed.

parties, WHO contEiye to throw in its way the
