The Legislature.

This body has been in session a week,
but has made no progress in public bust

local columns, has made its appearance.
And We unhesitatingly pronounce it, so
far as ability and appearance is concerned,
a complete success. Tomake it a success
pecuniarily, it must have encouragement
and support, and this it should receive

the planting community. We but do it
justice when we say that it is the equal of
the best agricultural journals published in
the South, and is superior to most of
them.
Its editors, we are pleased to see, have
avoided the custom so prevalent with that
class of journals of mixing their adver-
tisements and notices of advertisements
with their editorials, selections and COM

The Rankin County Elections.

The Brandon Republican mentions an
act of bad faith ON the part Of the Radi-
Gals in Rankin in the matter of the cleo
ton of Representative. Both parties
agreed to support DIR. Catchings as COM
promise candidate, in order to avoid a vio-
lent partizan contest, and the Democrats
adhered in good faith to the agreement
On the other hand, says the Republican !:
The day before the election some of the
colored people became dissatisfied, and got
one of their number, who had pledged his
support to DIR. Catchings, to agree to run as
the Republican candidate, but late in the
evening he was induced to withdraw, and
Catchings was elected without opposition.
but only received about dozen colored
votes.
The Republican says further:
The black Republicans afterwards bolted
the nomination. and DIR. Catchings was
elected by the Democracy, as a Democrat,
and opposed to any third party movement.
The Doctor is Democrat enough to satisfy
us-he loves carpet-baggers just about as
much as we do. and the only difference be-
tween us is that he still has some confidence

There seems to be few sales of any kind

ON CARONDELET STREET.

| Levee stock, so buoyant in anticipation
of the time when the buying in contract
should be consummated, fell yesterday to
50, and even this figure seemed too high
for purchases. The truth is, the wish of
holders to unload" is too great. No sales
that could be authenticated are reported,
those who wished to buy thinking this
figure extravagant and Offering IS rs,
which two figures show the ruling of the
| stock.
Waterworks stock was offered yesterday
at fifty cents, where on the previous day
it threatened to reach one dollar. There
were no sales even at this figure, some
underlined cause being at work to let it
down. No boasting could get it up
to an improved valuation.
Why bacon should be suddenly in
such active demand seems unaccountable,
though the movement, if traced to its
source, would prove to have reasonable
cause. The activity in the inquiry, to-
gether with the advance in price, to which
allusion was here made on its inception, is
on the increase and does not abate one lot.
Pork shares the sensation, and is firm at
the advanced rate of s14 25, though buy
ers seemed to think this rate too steep to
authorize purchases.
Flour still shows itself dull, though a
trifie more movement was shown yester-
day than for some time. There is abun9-
ance of stock on hand; the high grades
are plentiful, but the peculiar demand
for these has gone down into an even
tenor.
We hear it reported on the street that
perfect mania is in New York, on the part
of bank managers, to convert their fve-
twenties into the new five per cents, the
Offices of the leading bond dealers being
crowded with applications of this kind.
Here we have noticed no such movement,
things in this direction seeming to have
received a quietus. Bonds and such
things are not mentioned on the street,
though transactions where they are
bought and sold take place in responsible
banking firms, who keep posted on the
recent operations Of the syndicate.
The longer distance news travels the
more exaggerated are the reports; hence
it is not surprising the New York cotton
interest has a lugubrious outlook on the
cotton crop-our intelligence of worms
in the country, heavy rains and other
causes of cotton destruction being mag
nifed enormously. In the same ratio, by
the time the news reaches England it will
be reported that we won't have any crop
at all, since it is openly asserted in New
York the crop will be short seventy-fve
per cent. These reports are all to the in
terest of factors, as the sscotton factions"
multiply very fast in the face of these un-
favorable reports. Hence we see yester-
