The . latest invention of iDterest to Southern planters is a, sheet-iron cover ing for cotton bales. It has) been pat ented, atid while of course," there are many ajmcuitics ana ODStacies m iar way 'ofiU practical application, it doec not seem impossible that it shall event ually be made satisfactory to all who raisQ and all who' handle cotton.; It is not unknown that many bales of cotton are bnrtted each year in transit to the various markets of the country; that from two to four pounda of the product are In various ways lost from each bale, and ! that large amounts of. insurance against fire, are; paid by the producer either directly or indirectly, and the idea of the inventor has been to iave all this i: by providing a covering which would pot burn Would cover the entire htle- and be as cheap at the same time as the covering now in use. The rapid "development of the iron, industry and the consequent cheapness ot the greatest of all metals hal enabled him ne says, to' carry; out bis idea and without delay. According to thaspcoifications filed with the application for a patent.the'sheets of iron ax 3. to be seventy-eight I inches in .length by forty-eight in width, and there arc to 1 be two of them to; each bale ?so rolled and prepared at the mills as to leavo each sheet with a' rib on each end, behind which a small: slot is cut by machinery: tor each ot the two or three short ties ; to be used; The ends of each sheet are cut back .from ten to fourteen inches so as to fold down and round the ends of the hale,, secured by a light clasp, and thus almost hermeti callv sealing them. Ibese sheets not being broad enough to extend over and : meet on the sides of the bale, as it comes 'from the press f the .farmer, there is ' provided for each side a sheet eighty-two lncnes 'iong py eigmeen or twenty incne6 wide, Called a, "slip," to fill this space between the top- and bottom sheets This-completes the covering and hides every particle of cotton from view Now, when the bale is put in the com press these sheets on the side are thrown out; (whi h is but the work of an in atant) and -the compressing of the bale brings the upper, and lower - sheets to gether agaiq, completely covering the bale after being compressed.1 The sBcets thus extracted are ready for use again, and there is no reason why they cannot bo used year after - year. The covering for' a 'baii i wiJlr weigh aboui twenty pounds. By improved machinery the sheets are tolled, so thin that they be come very malleable, and . are not, as most people would suppose, hard to bend of handle but are just the oppo site." f .5;: E ft ' As to the cost, the inventor claims that the iahreat iron manufacturers esti mate that it can readily be- brpught to an amount less than a dollar a bale, and ( it is farther claimed that the plan is so tcasiblg that probably most of the next uuibui jcrup; wm u wrsppeu vi lryu, that any .amount of- capital is most anxious already to put the ; matter into practical operation.

The resolutiohs offered in the' Senate by .Mr Blorgan, of Alabama, on .the action of the republican: judiciary com mittee Condemning the attorney general for declining to; furnish reasons for re moyals turned the tables completely on ilri dmunda 'and his followers, and placed them' even sooner than we ex- pected on the defensive in the matter of their attack on the President. They brought the republican Senators back with a round turn to the 'retd issue in volved in the question, which they have evaded and befogged for the purpose of making party capital. The fight of the Senate to information as to the qualifica tions and fitness: of those whose nomina tions are made tojit for appomtment to fed eral office is questioned oy nobody.

To give readers a fair idjja of their prportsince we have only touched upon :: the matter so far, the preamble declares that the judiciary committee's resolution' would 1 1 enec aqjuage the attorney gepern 1 guiMy of an offense in violation uf hi ofhcialt duty, siibvcrsive of ;th. princi ples of th(p; government, and l ciinse queutly .rentier him liable to imp'each- inent. it further declares that the at torney general is not amenable' to. the -cop denization, of the Senate' upon such charges eeeptf under articles tiofl im- f qaoumuni yresenieu uie iiouse ot tcpreseutativost to the . benate, sitting withlthe chief I justice of the United States, as a court of impeachment. iTU" Sen ate'' would j. be' exposed to just censure. if it in the Juanner recommended by the committed on judiciary, ; proceeds to .announce its judgment o coindemnation iigainsi the aiiutucj-uerai ui iue uniteq ota tea upon an accusation that inetndea fense which ts punishable by , impeachment.- If the accusation simply'; be at the attorney-general was guilty of eon tepint, then tho iSenato would b iustlv cxpos(i;to ctBJuro ifat attempting 0 pass judgment of condemnation without having arraigned t-n aDgwr at the bar of the Senate tic ri s.ilutlons direct the committee on privihg 's and elec tions to inquire whether the attorney general has been guilty of any crime or misdemeanor and the degree thereof. They also instruct the committee to in tuire and report -whether the Senate ha any constitutional right or power to gif its advice and consent to removals from ofiice by the President, and whether by withholding such advico and consent ,thf ift-nate can preyent the removal of any person from othce by the President.. lhesc resolutions will not be -.doDted. of course, but their purpose was effected in their presentation lhey put the re publican Senators on record as con demning an executive officer for an im peachable offense, without daring to impeach him ico0rding to law, and giv ing him an opportunity to appear in bis own behalf,: and such action cinnot be expected to metit the approval of the people even by such blinded partisans as Messrs Edmunds and Sherman. They moreover heighten the improba bility that the. partisan resolutions of Mr. Edmunds' judiciary committee will be adopted even by the republican ma jority of the Senate, as it stands, since Mr. Morgan hs the support of more than one Senator on tho republican side already, it is reported. lb (Siipreine 4'aurV.

I see by your paper that the supreme court has appointed Willis Bagley, Esq., "temporarily" cWk -of the su preme, court, il wish to know if there ! is no! Democrat in the State qualified to fill the office "tem porarily'' or permanently. The people want to know the status of the court. If Radicals are always to be appointed let us know it. In view of the fact that the convention meets this year, the question is pertinent I am no civil service ''re former,' in the ; strictest meaning of the term, but believe that, everything else being equal, 'Democrats are entitled to tho offices. Cat), the court tell us what claims the ex-Radical district attorney has on the Democratic party ? If it can the people may be satisfied. G. The above declaration "that the peo ple want; to know the status" of the members ; of the supreme court is so funny that we cunuot refrain from pub lishing it; although it seems that the communication is in the nature of an at tack, to make icapital against the re nomination of ith judges at the ap proaching convention, all of whom we nope to see re-elected. :' If the gentleman who mtkes the inquiry-were thrice as good a democrat as he confessedly is, he still could not bo superior in party fealty to either of the honored democrats who compose the oburt."; But "" wants to know "what claims this ex-ra'lical district attorney has on the democratic party." I Why,, none whatever and "O," who practices' in that courts j certainly does tot need to be told that the question of v claims ' never, entered into the matter but that it was a mere question of cen ttenienee and -propriety. ' We know nothing jpiore about the matter than 'G" does, but It would have been man ifestly! improper for the; court to have appointed a permanent clerk without giving applicants a reasonable time to present their names. The business of the court; could not go on without a clerk.; As Mr. Willis Bsgley, who had been called to the bedside of his stricken brother, had been attending to the pa- pers of the court in his place during his fast illness, and knew the ran of the ifourt papers, acid as it would have been iacoiiyenient to have put in for a few days a man who did not know the run of the papers, the court 'merely desired that he should act as temporary clerk tntil the applications could be received iand considered.: i ) !

Another discovery has been made of a jnarble slab found in a vineyard outetde Pi rt4 Salaria, inscribed with the rulei governing the letting and use of storerooms in the public warehouses.
