Cumulative Voting. That prospective curso for South Caro lina, (if adopted,) Cumulative voting, re ceives a telling stroke of disapproval aud condemnation from thc Camden Journal in thc article which we append below, and to which we invite the attention of the people of Edgefield. But we are pleased to siate that the thinking men of our District are utterly opposed to the move ment, and will cast their votes accordingly, if they have an opportunity. No cumu lative voting for us-not if our remon strance will prevent it. Read what young KERSHAW, of the Camden Journal says : G OMULATIVE VOTIKC-ASTOSITUTE PRO POSED. The great respect we entertain for the gentlemen composing the Tax Payers' Con vention, has induced us to consider the subject of cumulative voting as a cure for our political grievances, but we are com pelled to admit thaUwe cannot see it in that hight. If there were in the State many shades of. opinion and varieties of inte? ests, separating the people into seve ral parties^ a representation of each cor responding to their respective numerical strength, might accomplish good results to'minorities, if i combination of two or moro of. those parties, not the strongest, .would overcome the strongest ; but hore, where there are. and can be at present, but two parties, one of which outnumbers the other as three to (wo at least, an agreement on the part of the minority to be content with only a proportional . rep resentation, is nothing more or less than a surrender ta the majority. We confess we are not willing, being of ? tho minority, to give up the struggle. We desire, to overcome the majority, and whon we. get the .control of^ the State we will bo prepared tb entertain propositions from the other side looking to the permanency of the then existing condition of things. If we ara to form any alliances with those shrewd gentlemen, who have heretofore manipulated the. Radical party in tlvs State,, let'us at least be able'to compre hend the solid advantages which we are fo derive from such alliances, and not be misled by a mf?h. Let the advocates of this measure show us how we are to gain anything in the Senate by the cumulative vote, and how iu-the election , of Governor and all other Executive officers. .The truth is, except that we might get such a minority vote in the House of Rep resentatives as would prevent the passage of measures requiring a two-thirds- vote, we can see no practical advantage in their results. But it is- not at all certain . that tjoo sama, result could not be attained by_a fair and\square party vote. Indeed, wo have nti-sort of doubt of it. But, we wahdp^?nto th* .next State canvas, tc vjif iMlwJ'or the supremacy .bf ?io^es Ty, decency, .fair dealing, retrenchment and reform. How is that to be done? We admit it depends upon the colored people. They alone can change the government ol this State fbr the better through the bal lot box. .They have experienced some of tho evjjs of attempting to rule the ."State withoutconsidering the interests or heed ing the counsels of those who really con stitute AeTnost important part of society. Perhaps th%y may be now inclined to hear those arguments "which thev spurned last year. If BO. we would gladly aid them in establishing a "better government. But, any movement of this sort must come from them: Our people will probably never :again be induced'to go them with overtures like those'rejected last year. As good government, however, is our prime nccessity','*w'e. doubt not Che ' acceptance of any proposals coming from the other side-giving promise of success, and upon principles Dy which we can stand. As to these, there can be but little trouble, since ii is apparent that the National Demo cracy will erect a platform on those ques tions broad enough for all reasonable men to stand upon. Still, we do not see, as yet, any signs of that awakening of the colored people to the necessity of concilla ron which must form the "basis of any c imbination between us. We do net greatly hope to accomplish a victory with out such combination, but arc willing'j and prefer, ;o fight a square out and out ] ?emoeratie jutvty fight, to allowing the lladicals to walk imo power withouttroub l?\ Then- is something healthy in a strug gle for thc right, even when we are beat en; and. on the other ha il, a supine' sub mission to wrong is enervating and cor rupting. We believe there should now be ;;u organization of the Democratic party, '?ompletc and thorough. We . are willing to snape cur policy to the views pf a Con vention of: that partv, properly organized. J f that party should de??rmin'e to make any compromises willi the colored people from motives of .^tate politv, wc desire to ? ubmit an alternative basis of combina tion to that of the cumulative vote, which contents itself with a simple' proportional numerical:'representation, and leaves no room for expansion of the party -or the .i.xcrcido .of th'oso powers which are the fruits of intelligence, education, knowl edge, experience and wealth.

Well, starting at 1 o'clock at night, we could see but little until we reached' Mr." GEORGE STJROTH KR'S. ; And from this point to Ninety Six the growing stuff looks badly enough, we can "assure you-poor cotton, and still poorer corn. All this stre?oh of country seems to have saffered severely jfroin drought. On the large and splendid plantation of the late Mrs. WHITFIELD BROOKS, through which we drove, the thoroughly blighted corn,, and almost as thoroughly blighted cotton, presented really a pitiable spectacle. On tho next plantation eil route, Genl.DUNOVANT'S, the crops looked somewhatbetter. While on the next, Major GEORGE ADDISON'S,; cotton and corn are as fine as we have ever seem And thus ends our crop chapter. Arriving at Ninety-Six three solid hours in advance of thc 'cars (they pass; up at ll) we had simply a vlle*\ime of it,, notwithstanding that our kind friend, Mr. DICK SANDERS, took us all into his store, and washed us, and ministered tv us.

We were*suddenly' awoke by hearing our sisters, in a loud voice, assuring a stout and resolutedook ing gentleman that they were .newspa per women, that 'they were used to all the newspapers in the world, and enjoy ed all newspaper privileges' without money and without price. To our in finite amusement and alarm, we found' they were in the fangs of an.agenJof the Atlanta Sun, ALEXANDER STEPHENS' paper, who was about to make them sub scribe at the point of the bayonet. Upon this we turned our face to tho tree and drew our last breath. We never expect, to smile again.

In fact Greenville is, and always was, beautiful. There arc many strangers here, and ho tels and boarding houses arc full without being uncomfortably' crowded. Latein the afternoon, when people make them selves spruce and walk and drive in all directions, the scene is very lively. The only compatriot we have m?t-and very pleasant oneh? is-is. Capt. GEO.

The President writes us as follows: ." Our exhibition this year will b'e on a much moro extensive scale than that ol 1870. We are prepared with the best ar ranged and most beautiful Fair Ground* in tlie South, to offer to Visitors and Ex hibitors all possible inducements for in struction and display. Our object is to establish our Association as a Cotton States Institution-not confined to any soction fi its aims-and for this purpos'e we are substantially aided and sustained by the Capitalists, Agriculturists and Manufacturers of our section." We have also glanced over the sched ule of Premiums and Regulation's of the Association, and are more than pleased with the long list of extremely liberal Premiums to be distributed, and the excellent regulations for\;onducting the Fair. 'We anticipate for this grand Fair a grand success-ar d would advise ail Edgefield to make their arrangements to attend en masse. The Association has invested some Fifteen 'Thousand Dollars in' Premiums, and in relation to this appropriation the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel says : Tho contract for the medals and plate to be given at the October exhibition of | the Cotton States M. <fc A. Fair Associa tion has been awarded to Messrs. F. A. Brahe <fe Co., of this city. I. . ' . The contract amounts to about the sum ? of fourteen thousand dollars and amongst I the bidders were several well-known dealers aud manufacturers from New York and Philadelphia.
