AK IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The
HEARTH AND HOME, a finely illustrated family
journal of a high character, hitherto issued by
Messrs. Pettingill, Bates & Co., has been pur-
chased by Messrs. Orange Judd & Co., of 245
Broadway, New York, the well-known publish
ers of the american -Agricultmr5st. Messrs. S.
III. Pettingill s. Co., whose great Advertising
Agency, established in 1S49, is of the largest
and most reputable in the world find that their
extensive business requires their exclusive atten-
ton, and they therefore transfer HEARTH AND
HOME to the new publishers, whose long expe-
rience and abundant facilities will enable them
not only to maintain the past high character of
the paper, but to add materially to its value
The new publishers also announce reduction
of the terms to So per year. The change will
not at all affect the american Agracuttsrast,
which will continue on independently as here
tofore. The illustrations and reading matter of
the two journals will be entirely different Either
of the two journals will be furnished from now
tc the end of 1871 Us months) at the yearly sub
scription rate, viz: the Weekly Hearth q Home,
at So; the Monthly american Agr1c~lt~'ast, at
81. or the two for 81.

Milwaukee is the greatest grain market in
the world 1t has six large elevators, able to
hold from half million to million and half
bushels. Yet last week five hundred cars were
standing in the freight yards and on the tracks
of the city, unable to discharge their wheat
This immense glut is from old wheat, and the
merchants estimate that there are million
more bushels of the crop of 1869 to come.

SATURDAY, January -.

SATURDAY, january -
SENATE.-The Senate is not in session to-
day.
HOUSE.-In accordance with the order of
last night the session of the House to-day was
Mr.. Stokes (Tenn.) obtained the floor. and
proceeded to make personal explanation in
relation to his connection with Tennessee at
fairs and to reply to what Senator Brownlow
had said about him. He proceeded 10 give a
lengthy history of the condition of affairs in
tennessee, and 70 compare his own and Cover
nor Senter's connection Herewith. After speak
ing short time Mr.. Stokes yielded the floor,
end consented that the balance OF his speech
should be printed.
removal of the capital There were two ques-
tons, he said, one of which ought TO be deter
mined as soon as possible. One of these ques-
tons was whether the people wanted the capital
to remain where it now is forever. and the other
was whether the people demanded its removal.
If the latter, he thought all further appropria-
tiOns for building hereshould be stopped, and he
had not the least doubt that the sentiment of a
great portion of the people was tending in favor
of removal. He proceeded to quote the histori-
cal facts connected with the location Of the cap
ital i'm Washington. Then he went into the con-
stitutional question, and argued that there was
nothing in the Constitution to prevent removal.
As to the question of feasibility. of which he
had no doubt, he said that was the only remaining
point to be considered. Land could be purchased
cheap in the West, the Capitol could be taken
down stone by stone, and removed to the West,
and again erected, aud so with all the other
public buildings. Some of the reasons advanced
why the capital should he removed were, the
barrenness of the country surrounding it, the
difficulty of reaching it, and the high prices of
everything here; OccasiOned, as he thought, by
the separation of the city from more fertile lands
And then he spoke of the advantages OF locating
the capital on the fertile soil of the West-a
land flowing with milk and honey. 1t was only
by removal that We could hope to make the
Capital of the United States representative
city, for that could never be accomplished
The seat OF Government must be fixed on the
bank of the Mississippi. The only question was
as to the exact location, and he thought the
friends of the movement could agree on that.
In conclusion he said he would make prophecy
that as sure as God lives, as the march of en-
pire was taking its westward way, SO the seat of
empire must move westward with it
MIR. Logan commenced a long speech on the
Capital moving question at halfpast two o. clock,
and gave notice that he would at the proper
time introduce resolution for the removal of
the Capital.
