/. tards the Growing Plants.
MILWAUKEE,, May S.-Reports from all
parts Of the West and Northwest show
that the week has brought much.nseded
rain, but the weather has continued very
cold for this season OF the year, and vege.
tation makes but slow progress. Some re.
ports are received, however, Of the appear
ance above ground Of the spring wheat
plant, showing that it has made good
start. The acreage Of spring wheat Is
larger than last year, but definite state
ments as 10 the increase are not yet re-
ceived. OF late the interest OF grain dealers
has been drawn mainly TO winter wheat.
The worst accounts come from Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky, and there is no ques.
ton OF very considerable shortage in
those states, as compared with last year.
In Missouri and Michigan reports do not
agree 80 fully US to the, extent OF damage,
though there is no doubt that the growing
plant has been injured more or less. In
Kansas, the same condition Of affairs exist,
except that the reports are more decisive
rs to large prospective shortage. q.
In all States winter wheat is now nearly
month later than usual; and, while this
renders present judgment Of the proba.
bilities uncertain, it also increases the risks
between now and harvest time, as q late
crop is precarious and seldo N good. n
!. Receipts OF wheat have been better at
most trading points, and the stock in Mil
waukee has increased slightly, while the
demand in Chicago has not lessened the
stock in store there. The amount OF wheat
on passage to Europe has increased 4S0 600
bushes-whch is somewhat remarkable
considering tho large arrivals there recently
-and the visible supply in the United
States shows decrease OF 10000 bushels.
n. . REroRrs OF OTHER cgREALs.
The weeks report from all directions
shows that the supplies Of oats were larger
during the early part OF the week, but have
fallen off somewhat within the last few
days. There is large increase in the
acreage of oaB sown this year. The stock
In Chicags has been worked of freely and
the market was quite strong and advancing

was sent Tor, and was told the action

bucklod his sword, and, laying it up
on the table said: "My honor as a

Lee, and ifyou take the step propos-

bequeathed by this gigantic under
taking be estimated properly, The
fruits thereof will inure to the peo-
pie, long after its originator shall
pass from the stage Of action-re-

The name of the distinguished
gentleman appears upon the roll OF
this organIzatihL, as the representa-

Vickshurg, having, each issue, a
circulation of nearly six thousand
copies, devoted to the Agricultural
and material interests of the South
ern States; and were it not that duty
has called him elsewhere, he would
be in communion with us to-day.
Mr.. President, the occasion is
suspicious, the time appropriate, for
the Press Association of Mississippi,
voicing as it should, the true senti
ment of the people, to recognize the
hCrculcan zeal and labor of one, ever
an enemy OF retrogression, constant,
assiduous and successful in all meas
ures calculated to attract ca pital an d
upbuild waste places.
Sir, the election OF Frank c. More

The ensuing year, woull be the
browning cap-stone as it were, of the
glorious edifice he has built for the
people with his own hands, and a
beautiful but just tribute to his re-
markable achievements. BY reason
Of his prominence, both at home and
abroad, his Influence could not result
otherwise than beneficially upon the
future of this body, and his position
as the presiding officer would furn-
ish him an additional lever to move
in the interests of our glorious com
monwealth. The nomination OF
Frank G.. Morehead meets my cor
dial advocacy, and / second the
nomination with pleasure.
Messrs. Roseborough, Of the Tate
County Record, and Roach, Of The
Yazoo City Herald, also appropri
atcly seconded the nomination Of Mr.

a Story of Grant.

We heard some time ago from a
Wilmihgtonian a story that is so
creditable to Grant that we will give
it. We heard it before, but not in a
shape calculated to give us conf
dence in its authenticity. But as We
last heard it, and because of the
cireumstantiality attending it, we
may no longer discredit it. After
Lincoln's assassination there was a
growing sentiment among the ex-
IRENE men in the North that the
Southerners must be punished and
the more famous men hanged. A
cabinet meeting was called, and it was

Letters From Capt. Pat. Darden
and the Supreme Judges.

Il. 4 .P. Campbell, II. II. Chal-
merS and Tim. T.. Cooper:
GENTLEMEN:-I nave been travelling
in the interior Counties, and had my
attention called t. your open letter
in the Herald of the 23d inst, asking
authority for the statement "that a
Judge Of the Supreme Court had
applied TO high railroad official for
pass for his fami V to make jaunt
North"
Inry adilIess at Woodvilie, dis
cussing that portion OF the Claiborne
county Grangc resolutions, referring
to free passes, am reported ny the
Woodville Republican as saying
upon good authority, that all but
two JUDGES in the State travelled
upon free passes from the railroads.
Other papers report me as using diff
fcrent language.
speak without writing, and as |
cannot remember every expression, |
must presume thatl have been report
ed correctly,
| did not make the statement re-
ferred to in your letter, nor is the re
port in the Woodvile Republican
liable to such construction.
The Grange which | represent,
does no propose to antagonizc any
individual, class, profession or official
position. Since | have learned its
purposes and methods | have used
my best cndeavOrs to allay all class
antagonisms in order that by a
united and harmonious effort on the
part Of our people, We might arrest
the encroachment Of monopoly and
at the same time, restore the former
prosperity of our State. With this
desire on my part, | can say ifln the
dis charge OF my duty as Master of
the State Grange, | have said any
thing that can be properly con
structed as an attack upon the
personal or official integrity of any
Judge in the State, have not intend
cd it
The Grange is in favor Of supcrvi-
sion, because if common carriers are
unrestraincd in their charges. the
people are liable to be wropged by
excessive fares and unjus' di>crimi-
nations in the transportation Of their
products.
We are oppo e to the free pa's
system, because its natural tendency
is to influence the receiver of such
favor, whether he be judge or legisla-
tor, tayorably toward the corpora
tons. | have advocated these re
forms on principle, not on personal
or, und~.
But To return TO the main object
Of this reply to your card. The sub
stance OF the statement which have
made is-that Judges, including the
Supreme Court Judges, have been
provided with railroad passco, and to
that statement | ask your attentions:
AS She question has been raised, |
ar satisfied that your answer, as to
whether you or either Of you, the
present year or any previous year
since your occupancy Of the bench,
have been allowed by any railroad
company to travel in its cars free of
cost, will be satisfactory to our peo-
pie, and will certainly take pleasure
in correcting any erroneous impress
sion may have made. Awaiting
your reply, l have the honor to be
Your ObediCnt servant,

To the Editor of the Wesson Herald:
After joining in a public denial of
the discreditable charge alleged to
have been publicly made that a
judge Of the Supreme Court had
asked for a railroad pass for himself
and family to make a jaunt, l in
tended to remain silent, but in view
of the unexpected appearance in
your paper of private letter written
by me to c.. A. Hamilton, Esq and
not intended for publication, candor
requires a particular statement OF
of my use of railroad passes, lest
erroneous conclusions be drawn from
that letter.
at Is true, generally, that l have

also true, that four or five years age

and Kosciusko, on several trips, and
and about a year ago l made few
visits to Vicksburg on pass.
suppose passes have saved me fifteen
or twenty dollars during the seven
years l have been judge.
'In accepting these unsolicited
compliments to my official station, l
conformed to long established and
general usage, and took them, when
offered, as a matter of course, with
out thought of any obligation for
them. | have no quarrel with any
