Corn FROM THE SOUTHERN SrATEs.-It is pleasant to
read that some of the Southern States at least are
PRODUCING rplus of grain this last year. The Nash
vile Press remarks:
A most noticeable feature in commercial matters
here is the present large shipment of corn to the
North The sending of corn to Louisville and Cincn-
natl is something almost beyond the memory OF the
oldest inhabitant. The cause is simply that better
price, by some twenty cents, paid in Cincinnati than
Nashville. Several Car loads OF corn are shipped
dav over the Louisville and Nashville railroad.

RADICAL NEwsPAPERs.- attempt made by Con-
gress to establish newspapers in the South has proved
failure, and the representatives of those sheets are
calling upon the leaders of that party for money
The New York Times says: =" Neither the writes nor
the blacks can be induced read these Journals and
the special appropriation made to .hem under the plea
of compensation for publishing the laws of the United
States is found altogether inadequate to their neces
sites Even Hunnicutts paper in Richmond the New
Nation is in its last stages. Hence, read ir the
Tribune that until Congress makes additional ap
preparation for their support we'll arrangements
to pay their bills promptly, this class of journals will
fail from necessity We in common with other groan-
ing tax payers will watch with interest to whether
and in what shape, Congress will make this additional
appropriation"

THE BRADLEY FISHER lMDRoGLIo.-The committee
appointed by members of the bar in August last to
investigate the difficulty between Mr.. Rradley and
Judge Fisher arising out of the Surrat trial. reported
at adjourned meeting. The report quotes from
Backstone's commentaries to show what constitutes
contempt 1t declares Mr.. Bradley should have an
opportunity for explanation Three judges are re-
quired to admit, and certainly one could not expe an
attorney The report recommended the adoption of
resolution declaring the order of Judge Fisher strik-
ing Mr.. BradIey's name from the roll, null and VOID
The second resolution authorses the chairman to pre-
sent the report of the committee to the court Some
weeks ago other members Of the bar passed resoiu-

THE ELECTION, So-CALLED-The election in this
city for charter officers passing off quietly on
Monday when an order received from Lieutenant
Latchford at Shreveport, to Lieutenant Aanson that
no election would be permitted.
As matter of course, the zig was then up"
Those who had anticipated filling aldermanc positions
collapsed, and from my Lord Mayor down visions van
ished Some of our citizens had been much exercised
upon the subject but they suddenly dried up, and all
became quiet, not on the Potomac, but on Potato
Bend Really is it not time that this sort of tritng
with the people at an end? They order elections
and then countermand. Why cheat our rtellow-ctzens
with vain and delusive hopes? Is it not too bad that
the great city of Jefferson should have its affairs under
the control of one temporarily soourning in Caddo
parish? If we are to have such a ruler let him be
stationed among US and not in another territory. We
suggest that the Captain move into our own ballwck
where he can take fair look at the premises and not
from so great distance control domestic affairs.
1t looks though Jefferson was some pumpkins in
the estimation of great officials when they keep such
close watch over municipal affairs.

War Upon the Dead.

FROM the Baltimore GaZette. .
Mr. Seward or some other benign phlIanthroplst OF
the Cabinet, short time ago, warmly seconded the
request of the Austrian commander who asked Tor the
body of Maximan. The Secretary is not particular
ly squemish about seeing doing brutal things, but
he seemed to think that if the Mexican habreed
Juarez refused the Austrians the poor privilege OF
laying the corpse of Maxmiian among his dead kins-
men, such a needless exhibition of savagery would
tarnisl the lustre of of the two model republics
of the world. Mr. Seward probably regrets now that
he did discreety hold his peace, for he has by I'M
plication unwtingy branded the conduct OF the other
model republic of whose government he forms part.
If the course of Juarez is to be regarded disgrace
full what is to be said of those who, in this age, and
in what we claim to be, the most enlightened and hui
name of nations have dared to deny to a mother the
moudering remains of her long dead son, aud to
daughter the body of beloved mother? Neverthe-
less history is to record the shameful TACT that MIS-
Booth and Miss Surratt sought in vain the poor prlv
lege of removing to some spot where their resting
places will not be daily deSecrated all that Is lelt OF
those who endeared to them by the closest OF ma
ture's ties In the lands which, in the days of our
pride we wont to speak OF as groanng under
despotism, the time has long since passed away when
it was customary to insult the inanlmate form which
had paid with its life the forfeit of real supposed
ofenses No longer the bodies Of traitors or male
factors drawn and quartered, nor are their ShaSty
heads set up the highways humanity has at
last remembered that few beings depart from this
world without leaving some innocent companions or
relatives to love and lament them and when justice
has exacted from man all the penalty it can exort on
earth it does begrudge his kindred the satsac
ton of giving him. after their own fashion, the rites
of sepuure. But here, where pious clergymen go
chanting daily around the coins of all the lnhuma'
and sordid wretches who perish on the scafod, the
public is content to see the mere
y by political passionretuse to listen to the petition
of an aged woman for the bones of a son who was
dear to her. and decline to accord to daughter per-
mission to lay the remains of fond mother in conse-
Grated ground. Are things like these calculated to
humanse and refine the American people, or to win
them the respect of other nations do they not rath
indicate with sad and painful dstlnctness the char
acter of the barbarsing influences which the war has
left a curse to this generation.

IHE FITNESS OF IHINGS.-We forget whether it
was LUTHER or WESLEY who remarked that he did
not see why the Devil should have all the good
tunes, and the Church only those Of doleful
character. Certain it is that there is prevailing
prejudice still widely existing in favor Of solemn
music for the Church service. Some there are who
think that the music should, in all cases, be
adapted to the words, but this idea is not untre-
quently treated by the professors Of the tuneful
art anhquated Such strict adherence to thc
1etter is thought to be very injurio to the full
development OF the divine muse. This train OF
thought was suggested BY. attendance at church
recently, not many hundred miles from the Pal
metto city. The minister s'gave out''

After an elaborate prelude the choir struck up

enlivened the audience by giving the aria with
variations, Of course, Of sstin so gently DER me

lude followed few bars from "a life on the Ocean
wave" Then the choir gave the third stanza Of
the hymn, which was relieved by an aria from
"Masaniello," and on to the end.
For some unaccountable reason, ministers do
not like this arrangement. And we ourselves
think it would work much better to let the organ.

NJ, Judge BRYAN presiding.-The case Of Libel
was resumed. Captain SMITH was put on the
stand and in the course Of his examination by the
District Attorney, certain questions were objected
to by the Opposite counsel as being irrelevant as
the cases upon which the witness was questioned
did not bear upon the present trial The District
Attorney, in lengthy argument defined his posi-
tion and quoted from judge STORY, PHILLIPS and
the State authorities to prove that snch testimony
was admissible
Mr.. BUST, in reply, showed that the tasti-
mony Of the last two witnesses had been refused
by the Grand Jury. who found no bill in the in
dictment against Capt. BoNNEAU for smuggling.
The present case was for the forfeiture Of the
vessel for en- illegal landing Of stores, and the
reply Of the respondent was fat denial Of any
knowledge or connivance on his part Of said un-
loading and landing. TO bring up other caees
that had plsinly no bearing on the one in issue,
and to endeavor TO- prove connection through
witnesses whose testimony had no weight with the
Grand Jury, was clearly not legal evidence, end
whatever they might say could not influence the
case. #& #9
The Judge, in reply, stated that if the cases In
volved the landing and the knowledge of the act
any evidence bearing npon that point was admis
slble What transactions the Captain Of the Grape
shot was engaged in, and what he did at that time
we're not important as connected with the presen
landing, but if could be proved thal any arrange
ments in regard to hghts, &C.. wero made it nigh
be allowed. He could see no bearings upon tn.

must show an intention to defraud; and the tes
