Tx NEw ORLEANS "PICAYUNE," an indie
pendent paper which supports Greeley, gives
the democrats :" piece of its mind, as
follows - If the democratic Bourbons will
not. initiating the wise men of Gotham, take
to boat and thrust in their old splintered oar,
we can all say that we are Republicans, that
we are for the Union it was reinaugurated
under the Appomattox apple tree, that we
are for the suppression Of caste and race IN
politics, in civil attributes, in common carry
inc accommodations-in one word, that we
are for all rights for all. 1t this Republican
universalism offers a hopeful departure from
the organized misery of the political situation
then the democratic party will render the
most patriotic service Of which it Is capable
by laying down and keeping quiet IN the
coffin which has been waiting and yearnI ne

Speaking of the tate French arms sale in
vestgation, and the majority report of ;he
committee, the New York Ereling Post says:
There can be but one Judgment upon the
transactions of the War Department in this
business. The officers systematically disc
beyed the law in not properly advertising
the sales, and they disregarded the Presi
dents instructions in making sales. Such
transactions as they now try to justify by
prccedents and other trifing excuses would
IN private business constitute sufficient cause
for dismissal, and these officers ought to be
punished or at least severely reprimanded by
Congress. Secretary Belknap, as one of the
chief executive officers of the government has
simply proved himself inefficient by allowing
the law TO be violated, if ne did not posi-
lively violate it himself. If the officers of
the departments. like Belknap and Robes n ,
are allowed to override the laws which they
are especially appointed to enforce, how can
we expect the people to respect them ? Con
gress must stop this style of official miseon-
duct, which Is becoming general, or there
will be no end to executive corruption and
usurPation.

paper is gotten up for the home and the family,
and is pure, bright and wholesome. This
Monthly; we must say, is a credit to the West,
and should receive hearty and generous
Western support. Agents wanted everywhere,

Der. More given away with each paper than

Grain and Produce.
GRAIN.-There is comparatively no activity
in the Wheat market at present, nor
has there been for the past week One boat
load has been sold and delivered at the depot at
$1.664. This is all, so far as we can learn, that
, Wheat will bring. The demand may slightly
increase as the mills throughout the country
have by the late rains been enabled again to
grind, yet the price will not likely be materially
changed.
FRUITs.-The market seems to be flooded
with dried fruit, and scarcely any sales are re-
ported. Peaches, in halves, have declined
cent, and are now freely offered at cents. The
dried fruit market is extremely dull @=-.
FLoUR-The market in Flour is easier, as we
predicted it would be in our reports last week.
The mills are all at work. and are turning out a
fair supply, yet quotations remain unchanged.
But, judging from the decline in Wheat, we
predict also slight decline in Flour shortly.
OATs.-Dull with no change in quotations
CoRN.-A shade lower with no activity in
the market.
Eggs have continued to advance, and twenty
eight to thirty cents are now freely offered
for shipping purposes Some very large lots,
in shipping order have brought as much as
80 cents, yet these were exceptional cases, the
real market value being 28a30c.

The Cold weather.

Any of our readers disposed to complains of
North and see how they would like the change.
For example, we have not yet had it colder
than about seven degrees above zero. While
I'D in Minnesota and Maine, it has been thirty
degrees below. Our dispatches this morning
say it was so cold and the snow so deep in New
York that thousands of business men living in
Jersey and Brooklyn could not get to their
homes, and therefore passed the night IN their
offices.
The st. Louis papers report the ice SO thick
on the Mississippi as To make safe roadway for
the heaviest teams. The ferry boats lost by the
new roadway over the Father of Waters.
So, while we think this weather severe for
East Tennessee. we find abundant cause for
thankfulness, when comparing it with what il
North.
