The Crop of 1871-?72. Thc very low rates obtained for t? cotton crop of last year, which was? tivatcd under heavy expense, render. it necessary that the present one shoo be made, at low figures. For this pm pose, commercial fertilizers were onlv pu chased to the extent of about one-fourt! the area in cotton was lessened over large surface to the amount of one-sixt' a full grain crop was planted, and are; economy practiced in all expenditure lhe early part of the planting season wi very unsatisfactory over a great part the South-west, heavy and continued rail tabing place, preventing the proper worl mg ot the fields, causing a luxuriant growl of grass, and rendering it necessarv abandon parts of the crop. In the Tao northerly portions of the cotton belt, tl weather, early in the season, acted mo favorably, und the prospect for a full ave age yield in proportion to the surface plan ed was good ; but in June and July a s vere drought in Carolina damaged hoi Corn and cotton. Later in the season tl complaints were more general, with repor ot worms in the Gulf States, with rust the Atlantic section, indicating a diminisl ed Crop. The causes tending to reduce tl crop are a more limited surface plante bad weather early in the year in the mo prolific portions" of the South, with drought in June and July in Carolina, very limited use of fertilizers, and gel erally an inferior condition of tho plai without reports of worms, rust, &c. Tl deduction to be made for these causes quite speculative, and may amount to 1,00C OOO bales or over-leaving a probable cn of 3,000,000 to 2.250,000 bales, the late aspect rather indicating about 3,000,0( bales, and with an early frost and bi weather in the fall, this amount might ev< be reduced.-Charleston News, Aug. 3 -? - ?^?.-. The Corpse in the Trunk, NEW YORK, August 27.-This mora n Coroner Hermann made a post morte examination at the Morgue of the body an unknown female, discovered on Satui day in a trunk left at the Hudson Riv< Railroad depot. The verdict was tl cause of death from inflammation of th bowels, brought on by abortion. Tl corpse is evidently that of a young wc man IS or 19 vears of age. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The mystery i the corpse in the trunk at New York being unravelled, step by step. As ar nounced by telegraph, the truckman, cam forward and acknowledged that he wa the man who carried the corpse to the d< pot. His name was William Picket His identification of the boy Potts, wh helped the woman check th* trunk at th depot, was the first step in solving th mystery. The rest is told as follows : PICKETT'S STORY. Pickett says that on Saturday last, a wo man came to his stand, on the co ncr < Twenty-ninth street and Third avenu and asked him to go to the basement i No. 6S7 Second avenue and get a trun of hers, which he would obtain by ringin the bell and telling the people what h wented. Then he was to put ii on hi ti jck and bring it to the Hudson Rive Railroad depot, whither she was going i; a coupe. She paid him in advance, chang ing a five-dollar bill to do so, and the; parted. He went to the house, rang th bell, and, the door opening, was usher? into the basement chamber. There wa no hall. Here he observed several womel and a tall man, whom the carman de scribed so accurately as to enable act?ij police Sergeant Roonev to identify him a Jacob Rosenzweig, whom he knew well Acting Sergeant Ro.?ney then went ii civilian clothes and loitered around th neighborhood. CATTCRE OF THE SUPPOSED PRINCIPAL The sergeant had bern there but a shor time when Dr. Jacob Rosenzweig, the oe cupant of the house, came from the direc tion of First avenue. As the doctor ricar ed the house he recognized the policemen and immediately ran into Boylan's liquoi store, at Thirty-seventh street and Secom avenue, and tried to hide in a closet. Ser geant Rooney was close after him, and dragging him from his hiding place, lee him'into the street. By this time a large multitude, attracted by "the presence of the police, had gathered in the neighborhood As the sergeant returned to the street with his prisoner, the crowd closed in on him and the cry went up of "String the wretch up to a lamp-post." The crowd becam so demonstrative that the sergeant and his men wer.- finally compelled to draw their pistols and warn the crowd to keep back, threatening io shoot the first man who dared tb interfere with their progress. Tho prisoner was then taken to the sta tion, followed by a clamorous crowd, which, by the time they reached the station, had swelled to many thousands. KNOWS TO TE2 POLICE. The doctor has gained notoriety with the police, to whom he is known as Dr. Ascher. He denied all knowledge of th? murder, and saidthat i'o was all a mistake. Dr. Rosenzweig is a Pole. He came to .v w York from Platz. Poland, about sev en years ag?i and immediately comnioncctl the Dractk-'- of medicine. He is :i mem ber of the Eclectic College, on Twenty sixth' strueti He is about thirty-fi vc y-.ir old and very stout, with largo, coarse feu tures. His hair, which is light flaxen, curl-; tightly tu his heal, and is worn part ed ii: the midd!" He has a wife and Bav erai clifldreri, one an infant four weeks old. Pickett said he believed Rosenzweig to be the man who had given him tho trunk, !mt he was not sure thi t he had ever stiel] the girl before. The wi e, bethought, was in the basement at the tune of its delive ry, and asked him whee he was going to tidce it. However, he was not very cleai on these points. On further cxemination it was found that Mrs. Rosenzweig, w io first denied ah knowledge (of the trun : business, said very innocently that she was too delia te to be down stairs oft Saturday when the truckman called, but lustily correcting herself, she again professe 1 totaj ignorance of any such affair having transpired. In spector Walling found out afterwards that tae woman had been down to the base nt* nt four or five times si ice ht r confine ment. Dr. Rosenzweig h us two houses in ^which be carries on his business. Tl ' who know him say that ibout two year ago he kept a lager beer s?he in in t ?.?ty, but probably not find ing ?tas pr ta bleas he desired, he turned his attention to the "practice" of medicine. H- H a fat, coarse and sen sual look ing fell< iw. w ith oufc any traces of refinement in pers m or manners, and does not 'tear the faint' -. appearance of the educate Iphysi ai;. * . MORE LIGHT. A thorough search of Dr. Ros :v/.w . pr., raises failed to discover the woman wno had caused the trunk to be check' I. Tho house is still under surveillance: Roseiiz- j weig has a diploma from thc so-called medical college of Philadeh bia. The prisoner is very reticent, ana denies ali Knowledge of the altair, though the polio claim to possess positive ovid ace of his complicity. Inspectors Jameson and Wal ling believethey baye a certain clue to the woman who ac^mpanied the tunk ito th depot. ANOTHER CLUE. A notice came to Inspector Walling to day, from the eighteenth precinct, thal an undertaker had called at the stationbouse and testified that a mau called on him a few days ago and, wished him to bury a body, which he stated was that of his ser vant; also that he did not care how it was buried, bot wished it done quickly, and that he only wanted the hearse. The un dertaker, who gives his name as James F. Boyle, and place of business as No. o?i> Second avenue, was then shown the doc tor, and identified him as the man who called on him and wished to have the body of his servant buried. Boyle says he ask ed the doctor fora certificate, and the doc tor wanted to know if she could not be buried without a certificate. Boyle also says the doctors manner was calculated to . excite suspicion, as he seemed fearful of every sound. Boyle signed the above statement, and declared he was willing to testify in court at any time. ^ [BY TELEOHAITL] The body in the trunk-has been final!' identified as Alice Bowlessley, of Pater.-''!:. X. .1. The teeth, the peculiar position of a vaccine mark, a mole and a scar made x the identification complete. A handker chief, marke<I A. A. Bowlessley, wasfounj 1 at Dr. Rosenzweig's rc-idence. i Walter Conkling, of Paterson, Now J i ? Terser, connected with the Bowlessley af air, has committed suicide. Bail has ^een refused in the case of Dr. Pern' and [aflame Van Buskirk, the allege^abor ionists. A habeas corpus . wa; issued fir Dr. Rosenzweig. A -.-<~. [From the Richmond Whig] A United South. We have not thought.it waseitherplea *ant or profitable, to bestow much time upon the proposition for substituting the name of Democrat for that of Conserva tive. If tho present party was too large, ?md a diminution was desirable, the sub let might be -worthy of serious considera Hon. Or. if the party were too small, and one additional supporter could be won for it by tlie change, it would challenge our favorable regards. But gentlemen who urge this proposition should remem ber that there are people in Virginia who have-as little fancy to be called or consid ered Democrats as they have to be re garded as' Whigs. You may call the re pugnance very foolish-and so it may be -but it exists, and we have not time to waste in arguing them out of it. As Con servatives, they are ready and willing to do their duty as men and Virginians and that is all we ask. But, as intimated the other day, we are indisposed to merge ourselves into any Northern party. We greatly prefer the organization of a Southern Party-inde nenden t wholly-free to act or co-operate with any other pirty, but devoted first last and" all the time to the welfare of the Southern States. We have all the mate rials and all the inducements for such a party! The Southern States, under any (air apportionment that may be adopted, will have twelve more than* a third of tho representation in Congress and in tho Electoral College. United and harmoni - ous, this would control the . action of the Government. We have common inter ests-one especially of towering and con trolling influence, capable of welding tho whole ^Southern population, black and white, into one solid mass for joint and common action. Slavery has been abol ished. But slaven- has never been paid for. It was a constitutional and vested right, if there be such a thing. No gov ernment ever confiscated such a property and of such magnitude without compen sation to the individual. It would be monstrous if it did. and it would unset tle and confound and jeopardize all other rights. The bLcks can be made to have the same interest in this right as the whites. Tho market value of the prop erty at the outbreak of the war was esti mated at three thousand millions of dol lars. The half of that sum might re - the whites, tho other ' half would us ?le the Macks, and pros-e a far more ubstantial blessing than the imaginary mule and forty acres of land." We have no idea of pressing^ this re ! tmatiun at the present time. But it isa .hot in eur locker, which we are unwil ling to surrender, and would be ready to use whenever opportunity presents itself. A. Southern conference, either the conting winter or at some future time, can arrange the programme, tho mode, measure and time for urging this claim. We would not hurry it-it is a permanent bulwark ind source of safety and harmony to all the distracted elements of Southern socie ty. Whenever the signal is given it will bring white and black together, shoulder, to shoulder. The North sold their slaves and pocketed the money, and then confiscated the slaves of the South, for what they pre : ended was the public gond. They must ?ay for it. It is only a question of time -and though wc are all, white and black, very poor, we are not impatient. They urned the poor blacks out of house and home, with the delusive promise of o mule and forty acres-and left them to the. cold charity pf the world. The blacks must be paid for their confiscated home and right to protection. But, as already stated, we do not urge it at tho present time. We, however, .are unwilling to abandon it, or jeopard its re covery by disbanding an independent party organization. That independent party may save us, when all other expe dients shall fail. Gen. Grant himself might be willing to achieve a re-election by according to us all and more than we ask. At any rate, it is the best trump out, and if judiciously played, may win the game. The weather is too warm for elaboration. Hints must suffice. Wise men can take and ponder them, and if there be good in .hom. like bread cast upon tho waters, it will return to bless us after many days. We think the South should forego no advantage which it moy possess. Tliat. united, compact and harmonious, and ani mated by a common will, directed to a common end, can achieve more than if scattered and confused, acting without concert for no definite result. All South ern mon, however much they may disa gree about merging themselves into a Northern party, anil undertaking to sup port all ito dogmas and isms, might find themselves agreed in this. A party, es sentially, primarily and ultimately, devo ted to Southern interests, but ready to co-operate with auy party at the North that nioit nearly approximates our views of pu!'he policy, lt may be that the res toration ol habeas corpas-the supposed birthright of every American-now sus pended and*at the will of a -tolid soldi?: might be as much as could be reasonabl hoped for in 'mo pol?tica! campaign. Th is n utter for tho "consideration of the wi? and patriotic men everywhere who seek to preserve the indispensable of al! frc dom. Perhaps a platform, with hubea corpus alone inscribed upon it. woul constitute the best rallying cry, and listevery. heart that loves liberty. I tho presence of such an issue, in wi.ic the tate of free institution ?s at stake, w may well forbear to press any lessc grievances, li' constitutional government is re-established; the South may confident ly expect justice, if not liberty.

The Grand Jury, reporting the condi tion of the Boys' House ol* Refuge, state that the treatment of the inmates, by Henry, Superintendent, and Schwind, his assistant, deserve to be stigmatized as .. brutal and ruffianly in the extreme, and the sooner a jail wall is placed be tween society and Messrs. Henry and Schwind the better it will bc for society." Judge Abell, of tho First District Court, calls the attention of the Grand Jury to the action of State Treasurer Dabuclet in refusing to pay original creditors of the State, and compelling them to sell claims to his friends. Abell says: " The Stat? Treasury was once tho pride of the State, and the financial agent of her creditors has been literally turned j vcr to tax-gathers, brokers, shavers and bangers on. I have presided long in this Court and have some idea of the depre cation and plunder of burglars, thieves, .fcc, and am satisfied that the officials of the State have, in two years, plundered :he State of moro than all tho thieves, fcc, for the last quarter, of a century. Fraud, speculation,' oppression, extor ion and blackmailing is resorted to in no.st unscrupulous manner. The mill is reaped by tho two per cent, tax and ie vast amount of licenses, will be ab a-bed, at least ono half of it being con imed by corrupt officials and merciless rakers,; and these official economists ho manage, out of a salary r>f'less than n thousand dollars, tb save a quarter !" ainillion." He regards the lawB in leqnate, with the present jury system, i check or punish'- these officials r an ises the wiso men of the State to coun ;1 together for its redemption, and, in inclusion says : "The darkest page in ie history of the State is now being lade up in darkness, which, I ropeat, 'Ren deciphered, will show" at present ankruptcy, and perhaps in the future spudiation. The great criminals who re destroying tho futuro of this State lay, for the present, be too strong for ie imperfect laws upon the subject ; too orrupt to fear a jury, one-half of whom an neither read nor write; but they may ct meet the frowns and indignation of n injured people and be forced to enjoy heir ill-gotten gains beyohdtheir sight."

The following hopeful and encouraginp irediotion of a good business year, com nencing this fall, is from the N. Y. Fi lancial Chronicle, which ought to be re :anlcd as respectable authority. The iromise of a defeat of speculating rings, md a nearer approximation to thc old tandan! of "supply and demand" in he regulation of prices, is particularly beering, as.that is a preliminary to the ccuring of the just rights of the pro luccr and the laboring man. The Chroni lc says: "There is every probability hat the year to come will bo nearly thc everse of that now almost passed. The peculator may not be able to make so mich money, yet he will not bo in dan cer of losing so much ; while the com nission house, practicing ordinary pru Icncc, may reckon upon having a year ?f comparative safety before it. In cot un, the new relations of supply to de naud are much better understood noo nan one year ago, and variations from he estimated supply are not likely to iroducc the great fluctuations which lave been witnessed in tho past year. ihe excessive stocks of breadstuff* which vere in store ono year ago, have been ?artially disposed of, and prices are now t that happy medium which is assurance f safety. Provisions of all kinds have leelined to prices which are lower than hose which have been current in many ears ; and although tho demand is largo, ho prospectivo supply is so largo that peculation for a rise is discouraged."

Knowing he did not carry Books with him? and seeing from an : vertisement that one*of his Teach wanted to know pf his whereabouts, came to the conclusion it would prov hopeless job to hunt him up. Our School Commission sr does not di gree with us>as to the amount ?ppropi ted for school purposes, but: as to 1 amount collected and paid over, makes a feeble.effbrt to screen the Coui Treasurer from all blame, and says ti he nor the Treasury has spared no pa or .expense in getting the money due i Teachers. This explanation will I satisfy the taxpayers, nor is it very cl to my mind that persons receiving I pay these persons are receiving, hf done all that is required of them. Will the Books of the School Coinn sioner show that there has been a Bo? of Examiners, regularly organized, sii the last Act of Legislature went ii effect; that each and every School Teael was examined in presence of the wk Board ; that they approved of tho cert cates issued to the Teachers ; were all 1 members of this Examining Board pr entwhen the Teachers presented th claims for payment, and thc Drafts the# pay was approved of by said Boar In point of fact, were not most of tin Teachers examined by thc School Coi missioner himself, without thu presen of the Board, and their pay certifica! issued by him, none of the Board bei; present? The Taw requires that all t Board shall be present when the exan nation shall take place, and all such pi ceedings shall be approved of by t Board.

Do t Books show that the Commissioner h visited each of the Schools, and given tl Teachers advice and instruction, BS tl law requires should bc done? If tl Books will show these things have be< done, then we aro satisfied. An effort should now bo made to mal the County Treasurer do his part, and x call attention to the fact, that tire Treasi rer has, in contempt of an establish! law of this State, taken into his hain thc control of all the claims upon tl County ; that he has assumed a positic which ho claims as law, and if he suffered to- hold the position which 1 has taken., he will continue, as he bas i in the past, to override all law known I tho most eminent jurists of this State, is unnecessary to point out tho frightfi licencse he has taken in, issuing Exec tions against many taxpayers wno nat alreach' paid their taxes. These Excel tions have been served by th" "T*asury Deputies, but most of person- ?enowin who they had to deal with, have kej their receipts. There Ls now an effort on foot to get a additional tax levied for school purpose; a Radical sceme to put money in Woolly' pocket. We ask thc taxpayers, wbi evidenco they have that the Teachers wi] get this money before the close of th 3*ear, if ever? There is no doubt bu that every dollar which has been coiled ed for taxes has been taken out. by th Radicals, and spent or loaned out to thei friends, and that the object of tho Count; and State Treasure." is to postpone pay ing any claims until they can wring mor laxes out ol'the people next Novcnibei This tax was ordered to bo colluded sim ply to pay off the mombers of the Ley islature who sit in Columbia from lou to six months every winter, robbing th' taxpayers of thc State.

At the present wri ting (Sunday Bvening, 27th), it is known that seven parsons have been killed, while it is estimated that tho wounded will reach as high as thirty-seven or eight of whom are fatally injured. From 5 this afternoon .till 6, tho plaza resound ed with pistol shot and groans. For 15 minutes the firing was incessant, and continued during the rest of the hour. The RepnbUcanjand Democratic parties had each .selected to-day as the most suitable time for the ?rand demonstra tion of the campaign,, and at an early hour this morning both parties commen ced th eir preparations. The leaders were evidently desirous of avoiding distur bances. The respective parties formed in procession and passed each other's place of meeting without any outbreak. Nothing happened until the meeting had adjourned. At 5 p. m., both parties met j in the plaza, when a pistol shot was fired, whereupon ageneral fightoccurred. Men, women and children hurried to their houses, but the fight was kept up from windbws and houses, tho dead and wounded falling on all sides. Hon John Lemon. Republican candidate for Judge, was the first killed; the killed and wounded are mostly Mexicans.

This action, it is said, is urged by Senator Scott, the Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee, which visited this State, and who claims that President Grant should issuo a proclamation and station military forces in these countios, to ensure the execution of all orders. And it is quite probable that martial law will bc established in Spartanburg and York Counties, but to any people accus tomed to the miserable government of iha Scott Ring, tho U. t?. Martial hiv. will 1)0 relief. Therefore, let martial or mili tary law come, and wc will give it a hearty welcome. vsr Says the Rutherford (N. C.) Vindi cator.: "Quite a number ol' persons, charged with offenses under thc Ku Klux law, wore upbeforc Judge Logan and the United States Commissioners last week, most of whom were bound over to the Federal Court, a number of them being already under bonds for their appearance at Raleigh in thc same cases, and some not being able to give bonds were im prisoned." ?i3- Mrs. A. T. Stewart, in answer to a friend who asked her why she dressed so plainly, replied, " 1 can alford to do so " Ono of the advantages ol' being rich, you see. jar* Thc pure-minded Raleigh Radi cals nominated a man for justice of thc peace in less than a week after .he lum been exposed as a defaulting clerk. A Washington correspondent an nounces, that in that city you can get a dozen cucumbers and the cholera mor bus for ten cents. GOOD FOR GEARY.-Gov. Geary stands to his ground as to the bayonet election law. " If Grant don't like my position," he remarked the other day to an inter viewer, " I can't help it." As the Gov ernor of this Commonwealth, I was bound in my message to allude to that, and to condemn the action of the general Govern ment in using the marines at Philadelphia during the election of last year. I don't believe in that policy, and "I never can bc rifade to believe in it. Had I the power. I would give the South universal amnesty. Then 1 would say, ' You are put upon your good behavior. Hold your elections in your own way. Elect your own candi dates. Let the electious" he conducted fairly. If you are not able to maintain order, let your Governors or legislators call upon me, and 1 will back them with the whole strength of the Govcrrment.' I believe that would have done more to se cure peace than anything else. You can'i govern (his people with the bayonet. Whenever it conies to that, the Republic is a failure, and wc had hotter confess it." $8r "PALACES AND PRISONS" is the name of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens' new novel, now in press, and to bc published in a few days by T. B. Peterson ?fe Broth ers, Philadelphia. It will command a very large sale, for " Palaces and Prisons" is an entiro now novel from the pen of this talented American authoress, and is superior to her world-wide celebrated work, "Fashion and Famine." The -.'..enes in this novel show great dramatic power, and tho characters aro strongly and strikingly drawn, and aro worked up with tho skill and power for which this authoress is so distinguished. From the first page to thojlast tho reader will be enchained by ils absorbing interest red charming stylo ; and when that last is I reached the vol tm e will bo laid down with regret thatitho story is concluded.

Such a connexion would be far more beneficial to Laurens and all that section of our State, than the one connecting them with the Greenville Road, and wo sincerely hope.it will be built.

THE Trustees of the School Districts of this County will please forward at once to this Office, a list of such Text Books, as the law permits, with the num ber required of each in their respective Districts. Th.e attention of the citizens of each District, especially tho Trustees of the Free Schools, is respectfully directed to Sec. 50, p. 4, also Sec 29 of " An Act to Amend an Act entitled An Act to estab lish and maintain a System of Free Schools," approved March 6th, 1871, whereby the citizensare required to meet under the call of tho Trustees, and vote a sum of money to bo "assessed and col lected at the time, and in tho manner that County taxes aro collected." In case an assembly ol' the qualified electors refuse to vote any sum to be col lected, the School Commissioner is re quired bv law to withhold from that School District any share of thc Free School Appropriation. Again, it can be readily understood from the Sections pre viously quoted, as well sis from the Con stitution of tho State of South Carolina, that there can bono Capitation Tax levied at any of these meetings. The School Districts which have already levied this special uix required, and wl?ich have le vied the tax as a Capitation Tax will have to reconsider their, actions, for no such Reports can bo received at this Of fice.
