The weather has been, on the whole. cool
and pleasant since the middle of last week.
To-day at noon very heavy thunder storm
passed over this section and for all hour

The market is hardly worth mentioning.
In reality there is no market. The demand
is small for everything in the line of farm
produce, but as receipts are exceedingly
hight, there is no actual increase in stocks.
Vegetables and fruit are supplied to the
local trade by country wagons and rs there
is no shipping demand. commission mer.
chants can DO nothing with receipts of
these.
FLOUR-Receipts have increased to
some extent, but the demand continues
good; and there is no surplus of grades
from family up.
HAY-Very little choice arrives. The
demand Is very light even at the present
low prices,
CORN-Receipts are light and the de-
mand only fair. Prices are unchanged,
OATS-Very dull. Plenty offering but
no buyers.
MEAL--Steady and unchanged. There
is no surplus Of city meal in the market.
BRAN-Quoted at 80 cents and no
movement.
BUTrER-There is continued good
demand for choice, while common is not
wanted.
EGGS-There is some inquiry for fresh
receipts at low prices. Thousands of doz-
ems Of the old stock have been thrown
away in the pas. week.
CH1CKENS-The demand is small and |
prices weak, owing to the local market be-
ing supplied by country wagons.
FRUIT-Very little doing in any variety.

Among those who rofrained from voting was
Senator Blaine, who, in the course of the de.
bate, said that in his mind the various letters

tain: First, that Simmons was au ardent
Republican, and second, that he was first.

proven by Simmons own evidence, though
less positively, viz, that he was II devoted

Mr.. Blaine said the testimony made him wish

state of the case required him to hold it from
either side. The other reflections were made

the Southern Whites,
Tie st. Louis Board Of Relief

Tho Senate Exod us Committee yesterday
examined John II. johnson. secretary of tho
Colored Refugee Relief Board, of st. Louis,
Mo. Mr.. Johnson testified that the object of
the board was 10 assist colored refugees who
found their way to St. Louis onward to Kan
sas and other points IN The North and West
aud that it did not attempt to encourage the
migration from tho South by assisting cmi-
grants before their arrival at St. Louis. The
board made it point to avoid any action
which could DO construed as arising from po.
litcal motives. From his position as secretary
he had been brought in contact with u great
many of the refugees, and had oOnverscd with
nearly II thousand of them regarding the con-
dtion of colorcd people in tho South and the
reasons which influenced them to emgra,e.
lie had never lived in tho South, and tho
opinions which he oavo expression to aud the
statements which lio mHdo TO tho committee
wero based mainly on these conversations,
Many of them complained of the eS.
orbitant prices charged by storokeopcrs for
tho neGcs aries of life; of illtroatment at the
hands of their former masters and dopriva-
tion of political rights. 1t was these grievances,
witness said, aud in fact all possible injustice
aud atrocities practicod upon them by their
former masters, which was the cause of their
leaving. There was, lie said, us far rs
he could learn. no political motive nt
tho bottom of this exodus, and ho ut.
IllDuteu Tue dtJlJWuC anu conduct OF JnO
Southern white rlan, aud which had
caused this exodus. to the change in tho rcla.
tionship which existed between the whites
and blacks rs owners aud slaves, aud now ns
free men and equals. This change in the con-
dition of the negro had ongcndercd aud
brought in play tho natural feelings,
passions aud prcjudices of their former
masters against thom. MIR. Johnson stated
that he believed between 5000 and 10000
refugees had passed. through the hands of the
board, and had been forwarded to Kansas
Nebraska, Illinois aud Missouri; fully threc-
quarters OF them, however, he thought, had
gone tO Kansas. The universal sentiment O
those ho had conversed with was that they
were entirely done with the South under
the existing condition of affairs. II
they were treated as human beings
and wore encouraged to mako living
to say nothing Of their deprivation of poiti
cal rights aud other privileges of citizenship
they would remain. He thought that rs soor
rs the spring opens all those who have not
eutored into contracts with planters will on
doavor TO leave. The only solution of this
question he believed was for them to leave the
South.

A ErinXailnn

Sergeantat.Arms Bright of the Senate seems
to be in as warm water with the females who
visit the Senate for tho purpose of comforting
with Senators rs is Senator Hill, though not
from like cause. There is much complaint
that ho intcrcepts those who desire access to
tho Senators, and that he is abrupt in his man
nors and uuaccommodating in his habits. We
have a grievous complaint from Republican
lady, who has been refused admttanco to the
Marble Room, where a Senator had sent her
word he would meet her, aud she insists that
she has been treated cavalierly simply for
the reason that she is II Republican, and do
sired to meet Republican Senator Oh Rcpub-
licau business. 1t il difficult TO believe THAI,
Mr.. Bright would carry his political
prejudices so far as to think the Republicans
have no right that he is bound to respect. On
tho other hand, Mr.. Bright contends that in
his official action he is only enforcing the
rules of the Senate, aud that should he permit
these rules TO be violated he would forfeit not
only the respect of tho body of which ho is an
officer, but tho ollico which he holds. Ho
thinks that he cannot afford to do that. II he
states the case correctly he is abstrdcty right,
though perhaps he may not be ominently
Chesterieldan in the manner In which ho
executes the duties Of his Office. Republican
ladies should not expose themselves to uncivil
treatment by coming in contact with this
offensive official. Most Republican Senators
| can be visited ut their residences.
