GR1NT MEM

Much comment upon the part OF
the press is made on the fact that
of the five republican senator's cleo
ted last week, four are pronounced
Grant and third term men. These
are Conkling, Cameron, Carpenter
and Logan. There is also q pros.
pect that Pomeroy will be elected
in Kansas, and he, asis well known,
was one of the earliest third.term.
ers. What Plat, of Connecticut,
favors we do not know, but if not
for Grant he will feel lonely among
the lately elected senators.
1t is no Use to say that these
facts do not show a strong feeling,
inside the republican party, for
Grant. They do show such a feel.
ing, and in States that will have
a powerful influence in the rcpub.
lican nominating convention, and
it will take a powerful influence on
the part of anti-Grant men to over
come this growing desire to see the
great Third, Terfaer nominated by
the republican party. For our
part, however, we feel very little
uneasiness on this account, as in
our Judgment, it matters but little
to the democratic party who should
be nominated by the republicans,
as the great democratic party and
white supremacy is bound to win in
the contest to be made in 1880.

General Hooker,

The following, coming as il does,
from our distinguished coutempo-
rary of the Holly Spring South,
which IS edited by one ofthe ablest
writers in Mississippi, Col. +. A.
Tyler, is indeed a compliment
worthily bestowed:
Gen. Charles Il. Hooker is one
of the most ready debaters and
most eloquent members of congress,
and has been called "the Cicero of
the house." He was elected while
absent beyond the Rocky noun
tains in discharge of his duty to
the public, and with IA vote ap-
preaching unanimity. He coulG
not have bulldozed to any great
extent. And while thus absent
the New Orleans Picayune saws
''his wife, at her home in Jackson,
Mississippi, was smitten by the
yellow scOurge. Like the brave
woman that she is, she would not
let the sad news be t~elegraphed to
him, knowing that if her hour had
come he could not possibly reach
her in time to exchange the last
adieus; and that if he came it
must be at great peril to himself.
So, while the dead were falling all
around like leaves in autumn, she
suffered in silence; and the huS-
band-oomtOrted by the thought
that 'no news is good news'-con.
his journey undisturbed.
never dreaming of the danger at
home. Thus deeds OF battle are
often eclipsed by the patient hero.
Sun of woman"
Mrs. Hooker Is the adopted
laughter of WIN. l.. Sharkey, than
whom Mississippi has no greater or
man to boast.

1t will be seen from the foregoing
table that there has been shipped
from this port for the three years
mentioned, to foreign and domestic
ports, 81, $50, 1870 superficial feet of
lumber I'm the table the timber is
given in cubic feet, but we are now
estimating it all as superficial feet),
which at S12 per thousand feet-a
low estimate, as the greater part
shipped to foreign ports brings
$15 at the mills-would come to
the sum of $1,093, 800 in round
numbers for three Years, OF an av-
eragc of 1864, 500 per year. Add
to this the value Of shingles ship
ped, the total exports Of lumber
and shingles would be $l,l04,SO0,
or $685. 66 per annum. Besides
this amount Of lumber and
shingles shipped, within the last
year a large business has been ear
ried on in cross.tieS shipped to
Mexico, to say nothing of the
slaves, charcoal rosin, etc, which
has been extensively shipped from
this place.
1t seems, with these figures be-
fore us, that our port would be Of
sufficient Importance to justify
congress in giving us an appropria-
ton of at least 800, 900 to improve
the bars at the mouth of the river
and at Horn island pass, and we
believe an appropriation could be
if our members in congress
would lay the matter properly be-
ore that body, and labor as they
to secure the passage of the
dill.

IT is thought that the orange trees along
the Mississippi coast have been ruined by
the late freeze.-NdcOH San.
Mistake, neighbor, that is if we
are to infer from the above that
the people OH the coast think SO.
Your people may think the orange
trees are killed, but surely orange
growers in this section have no
idea the trees are injured. When
yOu come to the Press convention
next June we will show YOU around
among the orange groves and con
vince you that the trees are not
killed.
