I'.i ayton by Mi l ?ow, thc Illicit dis tiller, near Central, is an occurrence greatly to be regretted by all law abiding citizens, for it has no circumstances of justification connected with it. Mr. Brayton was an officer of the govern ment, engaged in the discharge o? his duties for the enforcement of the laws of tho country, and any offense committed upon him shows x resistance io law that cannot he encouraged. He wai a re -pectablc man, and demeaned himself in i respectful manner, so that there is no justification for his murder, and the per (nitration of this crime shows a dicer dcred state of society 'hat evidences ?ono- unusual cause. To those familiar with affairs in Picken- county, this cause ir- readily detected, and is nothing more I han thc atrocious manner in which hun dreds ol' men, women and children in her borders have been Healed by the ruffianly men who have been -cut lhere by th? government to execute the reve nue laws. Their course has been inso lent, impressive and, in many cases, criminal. They have committed the gravest ads ol violence, from murder of the most unjustifiable character down to iln- oilcusc of insulting women and frightening uh ?'dren and the people have had no red ret a. The Court? have been shut to them, ami under the cover ni their official duties these officials, who sometimes have deserved hanging and often merited thu Penitentiary, have gone free, and been continued in office to har rass the people and embitter them hythe repetition of their crimes. These things have aroused a hatred for the revenue officer.s in the hearts of ninny of the people of thal county, which is justly founded. It has also stirred desperate men to desperate deed?, and. unfortu natl ly, these men do not slop to consider iii?- facts connected with each case. They know thal revenue officers have killed unoffending citizens and gone free, and they make their tight on these offi cers whenever they appear. Thc citizens really fed ihat they ire at thc mercy of these men, and desperate men like .Mellow are inclined lo protect 'hem* selves by lawless methods against a set of men w ho arc themselves oftener than otherwise nothing inure nor lew than lawless ruffians. These are the causes which, though wholly insufficient, no doubt led McDow to fire ii, in Brayton. The crime which ho has committed may be explained in this manner, but it cannot be justified. lt brings condemnation and reproach upon our people, and is condemned and regrcttetl everywhere. Tho people of South Carolina owe it to themselves that i hese occurrences should bo stopped, and we "nave no tloubt that tho people of Bickens county will do their full duty in the matter. The harsh criticism of tho Northern people upon us is to be expected, and goes to show that their ignorance and spleen has not been en tirely destroyed by recent events. If they would only hiing to bear a public sentiment that would require none but honest and prudent men to bc employed hythe government in thej,revenuuser vice, they would at once dissipate thc existing hostility to thc enforcer, nt of these laws. They can be enforced better than they have been heretofore, without any resistance, if proper men are select ed. If tho government will do its part in correcting these troubles, there will bo nu further murders hete like that of Mr. Brayton, for whose death there is noth ing but regret in South Carolina. A FEW wo uns ON At: mci I.TUKK. The South has a great agricultural future before her if her farmers could only bc induced to rotate their crops in such manner as to improve their land?, and, at thc samo time, render themselves independent by raising their own sup plies. We. do not advocate this lo redttco thc amount of cotton raised, but for tho piuposo ?if improving the lauds and making moro colton to the ucre. Wo should sow more small grain, and follow il with a crop of pea vines, to bc used as a fertilizer. This would improve one par! of the farm while making it furnish us with oats, barley and wheal, which would enable us to keep our slock better and save the money we now pay out for bread stuffs and provender. It would also enable us to work our crops of cot ton better and make.bur lauds yield more to the aero, which would be a greater proportionate financial gain, and in a few years the amount of colton produced in thc South could be largely increased. If wc do not quit wearing out our landa the cotton crop must decrease, for the .oil cannot stand a perpetual drain like most persons arc givirg it. The cotton crop will always be valuablo one, aud thc Smith will hardly ever be ablo to raise enough of it to decrease thc prico. We have no fears of our people makiug too much cotton to keep tho price up, for thc colton producing lands of the world are limited, while the uses to which cot ton is put arc greatly increasing. The population of tho world, which is grow ing by millions every decade, has to be clothed from these limited cotton fields, which also have to supply tho increasing demand for other uses than that of cloth ing. As the population of the world and this deland for cotton increases, it must be remembered that the cotton growing belt does not extend, and the develop ment of tho unproductive and unculti vated part of it is the only gain that cr.n he made upon tho present source of aup ply. Tho farmers of the South, there fore, have a very firm assurance that their profits in agriculture will always be good, and it remains to bo seen whether or not they have sufficient enterprise and foresight to keep their cotton fields in a continually improving condition, in order that they and their children after them may enjoy Ihc inconio from thc valuable crop which nature has rendered their lands cap> Me of producing. These lauda can only he -ysicniatically and generally Improved by a judicious rotation of crops, and this rotation will, while improving the lund, yield to the owner the beat net income. All cotton \r an unprofitable crop, lt makes it necessary for many farmers to run their plantations on the time -yHtcni for supplies, which moro than cats up the profil?, of his colton. It is not the amount of money which a farmer handlea in the Fall which de termines the value of his crop. It is the amount of money which he can call his own on tin fir-' ?if January, after the debts ot the previous year have been paid, and experience ?Lows thal the planter who rai?"- corn, oat*, wheat and, if possible, meat enough to supply his own demand, makes money faster than the one who buys these things. livery planter ought to raise his own supplies, nod, after that, make as much cotton a.i possible. This would keep up a judi cious rotation of crops ami gradually improve the farm, and if generally pur sued would decidedly enhance the proa pertly of tho country. POLITICAL HPKCLLATTON. The Fair I'I ay correspondent of ibo Kcowce Courier, W. I'.

I am totally Ignorant as to who the fountain heads of this move aro, hui 1 have hanni it hinted that ii man holding a high position, is quietly instigating the move.

T1IK KTATK NORMAL INSTITUT!?. The second session of the Stale Nor mal Institute, an institution organized under Ibu State Hoard of IMncation, commenced its sessions at Greenville ou Tuesday. Thc first session was held In Spartunbtirg last year, and was a decided .ueccesH. The present session commenc ed limier thc most favorable auspices, a large number of teachers from various counties being present at its opening. Thc institution was organized under thc care nf Prof. Sold?n, of St. Louis, Mis souri. Wc observe that (Jen. John lin ton, United States Commissioner of Edu cation, thc Hon. Wm. Porcher Milos of Virginia, and the Hon. J. L. M. Curry, Agent of lue Peabody Fund, will deliver addresses before the Inatilute. Favora ble arrangements have been made with the Hailroads for teachers desiring to attend, and ample facilities for boarding at greatly reduced prices. We would recommend all teachers, who possibly can, to attend th?8 session, as un oppor tunity is now afforded to obtain an in sight into the latest and best methods of imparting instruction in tho various branches taught in the common and higher schools. THE I'tlKHIDENT'S HEALTH. The President has slowly but steadily improved ?ince bis relapse some 10 or 12 days ago, and there arc now stronger hopes cherished of his recovery than at any time since he was shot. Hy tho use of anew instrument, thc Hell Electric Bal ance, tho whereabouts of the bullet bas been localed with almost absolute cer tainty. The experiments showed that 'tho bullet was located in a straight linc running through the body from the front to the back, just about the groin, on tho right side, some two or three inches from tho surface. This location of the hall I will greatly assiat the surgeons in e.hargo in their management of thc case, and wo may now confidently expect a recovery of tho President. Speer's Vote. WASHINGTON, July ttO. Representative Emory Speor, of Geor gia, who ls down on tho lists of the house nfl an alloged independent, is very much exorcised over tho comments that have been mado in regard to his intention to votewlth the republicana in thoorganiza tum of the next house. When it was first published that Mr. Speer had this inten tion, bo w as on the eve of marriage with a young indy of this city. Naturally the marriage business took most of II?H time, and ho had no opportunity of inquiring Into Ibo sources of thu report, or of tak ing in.y i.tep that might tend to contra dicting it. A gentlumuii who arrived hero from Georgia to-day says that ba had a conversation with Mr. Speer three ?lays ngo, io which the latter said that ho intended, ai soon ns he arrived in Wash ington, to hunt up tho men who started tho report that he was to voto with tho republicans, and thought ho could man age to make things pretty lively for a short time. Notwithstanding this, how ever, Mr. Speer has never denied that be told President Garfield that ho would voto with the Republicans in the next house, and does not deny it now. Tho gentleman qnoted says": "Tho Him plo fact of tue whole matter revolves itself down to about this: Mr. Speer in tends to voto with tho republicans, and will do so unless something hotter turns up. The indignr.tinn which his constitu ents have frooly expressed nineo his in tentions wore given publicity, induces him to mnko some ?ort of denial, end de mand Homo sort of detraction. Outside of this, all tho fuss that he may croate, na ho cortnlnly Intends to create, will amount to nothing. VBNNOB'H Oe ESS ES AT AUQUST.-Mr. Henry Q.

Tho ono hundred thousand dol lars luis beon paid to securo the Hale, and tho remainder of the purchase money will not ho paid until lb? sale has been confirmed.

Ho would not say exactly how or by whom; but tho rumor in circulation oh the street, before the sale, that tho Bur chasing Committee had "arranged with judgment creditors" acorns to havo boon pretty well established.
