THE Ohicago grain business for the
last year was prcdigious, aud when it
is contemplated that the grain trade
has made this city the most magnifi-
cent one west of New York it may be
understood what prospects New o.
leans with the northwestern grain trade
and direct ocean shipments may ex
pect. The receips of grain In Chicago
during last season were "a 900, 900
bushels, 4 600. 900 more than eyer ar
rived in that city in any previous year
Tue receipts of corn were 81 900, 600
bushels, about I. ESQ, 900 more than the
preceding year. The shipments of
wheat were 81. 600. 600 and OF corn
81, 900. 600 bushels. These figures al
30 give seme idea of the immensity of
last years crop in the northwest, and
explain the prosperity that has come
upon the country in the large receipts
Of foreign gold.

The early assembling of the Iowa
state convention to select delegates to
Cincinnati presents part of the Tilden
scheme. The chairman of the COM
mittee is an earnest friend of Tilden,
and it Is now understood that Tilden
hopes to get the delegates from Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas and other hopelessly
Republican states pledged to him be.
fore the heat of the canvass opens.
Tilden can never get nomination from
the Democratic states, and his only
hope lies in controlling delegates from
Republican states.

whistling to keep its courage up, and
predicts that Upson is the last Demo5

then. Davis, for instance, can give

The Rockport Transcript, discussing
the positions of Senators Bayard and
Coke, says:
We do not affirm or endorse the the
ory advanced by some of our brethren
of the press, that the difference Ee-
tween the two gentlemen is merely a
question of ''honesty VS.. policy" yet
we are compelled to acknowledge,
much against or wish, that the general
enforcement of Senator Coke's position
by the Greenbackers of the country, is
an evidence that his expressed views
conform to their platform on finance.

STATE FINANCES.

Some one his said that much is due
to State Treasurer Lubbock for the
present condition of the sts's finances,
and the STATESMAN takes occasion to
say of this gentleman, that ne is beyond
all doubt one of the most efficient. and
conscientious officers that has ever ad-
mlnistered affairs for the people of Tex.
as. He instituted new systems at the
treasury, which have assisted in the
grand policy of the prefent state adj
ministrstion in re-estsolishIng conf
dence in the states obligations, that
ground, probably, thsn any other state
of the American Union. The "pay as
you-go" policy of Governor Roberts,
so effectually established by him in his
memorable attack upon appropriations,
is and has been productive of rich
harvest for taxpayers. Money saved
for them is money made for them, and
these savings, in one year, are already
climbing up close to half million dol
lars. Yesterday the last pension bond
was taken up. They were Issued five
years ago, and have been bearing the
ruinous rate of ten per cent. interest.
Now the last one of them is to be i'm
mediately substituted with five per
cent. bonds, excepting $500. 900 Of
them which have been lste'y y taken up
with money derived from taxation,
Oh what is termed revenue. OF
the $194 900 deficiency warrants
authorized by the Sixteenth Lagisla-
ture, over SOL, 900 have also been
taken up with revenue, and no doubt
remains that the rest of them will be
taken up in very short time. A
statement as to these matters of &C.

FORTY.sIxTH CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The DEM
ocratic caucus committee consisting of
Senators Thurman, Bayard, Garland,
Cockrell, Johnston and Morgan, held
long session this afternoon upon the
subject OF providing some method of
counting the electoral vote, but no
conclusion was reached. Opinions
differed as to what was best TO be
done, but the action most likely to be
taken, is the revival of the joint rule
that formerly governed that subjsct.
The whole matter was generally dis.
cussed, and the committee will come
to some conclusion at the meeting next
week. Some of the committee were in
favor of allowing the manner OF count
ing the electoral vote to remain justts
| it is now.
A hearIDg.on the paper question was
resumed before the House Committee
! on Ways and Means to-day. Hon.
Warren Miller concluded his argument
urging the injustice Of removing the
duty on wood pulp as contrary TO our
own legislation, etc. Hon. Erastus
Brooks followed. and urged the re-
movsl Of the duty, which he proposed
to accomplish by simply giving the
proper construction to the existing law.
He urged that the rise In the price Of
paper was entirely disproportiounte TO
the rise in the price of other commod-
tiles, and was due TO the combination
4 western manufacturers. He be.
| lieved that the removal OF the present
duty on wood pulp would result In the
reduction OF at least two cents per
pound on printing paper, and that un~
less some action of this character was
takan by Congress there could
be no guarantee that paper might not
be forced 70 most extortionate prices.
