Deep interest is manifested among Repub-

Senators.
Gen Reynolds is understood to claim a
Senatorship for deserving Hamilton. when it
is known here that his change of front was
the result of an order, procured by Judge
Evans, from the President.
Senator Wilson and other Republican SEN

Of Reynolds will be great misfortune to
Texas.

peal the act prescribing oath of Office, also
for removing disabilities from the people of

Meeker introduced bill to discontinue the
Freedman's Bureau.
A delegation from Georgia called on
Grant to day. The interview was of an
hours duration, and the political situation
was discussed fully. The President stated
that although his first impressions were
that the action of the Legislature previous
to expulsion of colored members was legal
and binding, and the election of Senators
was to hold good, he was satisfied after more
mature reflection. that the present Legisla-
tive organization was the Erst, and that all
action should be commenced de novo. lie
inquired who the Republicans would elect
Senator's; to which they responded that no
nominations were yet made. but would
probably be on Monday and election on
Tuesday. No doubt they would be loyal
Republicans. The President said both ne
and sherman had entire confidence In Terry,
and he would fully advise them of the stu
alton in a few days. The delegation also
expressed confidence in Terry's judgment
and ability.

SAINT LcUIs, Jan 81, 1870.
Editor CSnt1a. The unE4h scloses without
any material variation IN the market for
Bread stuffs, and as wheat is now being sold
at less price than it costs TO produce it, we
think the tendency win be toward appreci-
alton rather than depression OF prices. since
with present prices there Is but little to en-
courage the sowing of great breadth of
land in the Spring.
FLOUR has declined in full proportion to
wheat, and to-day is cheaper considered rel
ativeIy with its worth as food, than any 9TH
er product.

VIII cause them to continue to rule very firm
for the next three months.
In Provisions it is difficult to Law down
premises from which to Judge the future -
Prices have receded from the high point
OF last Summer 70 figure which leaves no
profit to the packer, and below which it
would seem difficult to depress them. The
stocks here are not large and those at inte-
rlor points are not equal to those oflast
year. Mess pork is held at $27 so: Bulk
meats are firmly held at l5c. for clear sides,

large consumptive demand, which almost
weekly closes the market. there is no imme-
dlate prospect OF any accumulation of
smoked meats.
Our shipping facilities which of late have
been SO disarrang ed, are now assuming a
more reliable and expeditions shape. Ar
engagements will soon be perfected that will
entirely overcome the vexatious delay at
Columbus, KY, and to great extent relieve
the crowding of the Railroads from Men,
phis and Vicksburg, and we hope soon to be
enabled to advise resumption of the Green

being rapidly repaired.

Ministerial staff for the express purpose of

subject, but Notwithstanding all ofhis mean

scarcely say that we are willing to pit Sa-
trap Ames. of Mississippi, against Mr.. Isca-
riot, or any other man. for mean, unblush-
ing. deVlIsh, rascally meanness. Clothed
with more than regal power, he has used
his authority to make himself one of the
United states Senators from the State Of
Mississippi. This is his thirty pieces of
silver, and if he will only ovince the nobler
qualities of his antelope and go and do as
he did, he Will confer a service on the peo-
pie of the United States that win, in part,
atone for the great wrongs he has commit
ted. just think of man who accepts the
purse and the sword and then turns them
both to subserve his own selfish ends and
uses them for the total destruction of every
vestige of civil liberty, law. deeency and all
else that is worth possessing, and you have
life portrait of Senator (Great God what
libel on republican institutions) Ames, OF
Mississippi. The leading Jacobins call this

ult for awhile in the accomplishment of this
great crime against their country and their
race, but the time may come it will surely
come, when perGition would be heaven,

A Valuable Mississippi Invention.
Mr.. B. f. Bowling, an old citizen of Mar
shall county, and a practical farmer, has ex-
hibited to US the model of a combined cot
ton-scraper and cultivator, invented by him
and patented on the 2eth day of December
1862 Mr.. b. has been using this implement
on his farm west of town. and ID is the gem
eral testimony of himself and of all who
have seen its work, til At it is the most use
ful instrument of the kind within their
knowledge. Two difficulties in cotton scra-
pers are overcome by this inv ntion. 1t
prevents too easy attachments. right or left
by little distractions on the scraping sur
face. and enables the power drawing for
ward to be direct between the front of beam.
and centrally between the handles. This
makes 1t far easier for operator and beast.
and enables the scraper to perform work
with or without a bed, in rough or smooth
ground and enable the scraping- blade to be
set at greater angle, and 10 scrape wider
surface. The observation-disclosures is a great
help. They are worked together by one
team; and thus the soil is LETT in loose and
pulverized condition, whereas the ordinary
scraper leaves the scraped surface smooth
and bare, so that it hardens in this condition.
Every cotton planter KNOWS how very valu-
able this improvement is We believe a
large number of these great helps i'm the
cultivation of our staple crop will be de-
manded all over the South, and trust some
enterprising foundry-men will make ar
engagements for their manufacture on a large
scale.
