Ignominious defeat in the election.
The Abbeville Medium in its comments
on the above, remarks :
The next campaign in this State
will be very unlike anything ever
known in South Carolina polities. The
Democratic voters will send men to
the convention to vote, not lbr the |
man who has "mo-t influence with the :
Republicans and can p?il 1 the largest j
colored vote," l>ut for the best and
truest Democrat, who will hohl the administration
of the laws higher than
the safety of a radical criminal and
the harmony of the home democracy
more worthy of consideration than the
pleasure of any outside party or iidlut

coming in for a share of the honors.?
Thev are tired of family combinations
and little cliques. They want fair
play wild they arc going to have it.?
It is all stuff to say that their claims
will split the party?this is the old cry
we have ever heard in such emergencies.
The working Democrats made
the party what it is, not for a few
chronic office-seekers and a special
family circle, but for the good of the
State. If those wl>?> call this treason
do not like the ring of the metal they
can organize a party en their own account
but certainly not shape the future
of the straightout Democracy.
The Lancaster Lkikjeu, havingjnst
about as much at stake as either one
of our coteinporaries, above (pioted, I
(and with all duo respect to the honorable
gentlemen whuag names they
have brought U^ranF) would advise,
kindly, that Speights and Hemphill, i
/>/' ;)io Medium, stick their heads in
Micir boots and wait awhile.
The Cotton Crop of IS7S-70
\Y e arc indebted to the Commercial
mid Financial Chronic!'' for proof
slips of its statement of the cotton crop
of the United States for the year ending
September 1st 1?S75), for which it
appears that the total receipts at the
Atlantic and Gulf shipping ports this
year have been 1,117,"270 hales, against
4,315,545 hist year.
The total crop according to the
reckoning of I he National Cotton Fxchango,
already published, is 5,074,15
j?a difference of only 624 bales
troiu the total, as given by the Financial
Chronicle The close approximation
in figures of the two great authorities
on the cotton crop is an indication
ot the- thorough completeness of
the machinery that is now used to as- i
rcfb'iiu the result of the growth. The
most striking feature in the table is,
the large increase in the overland I
movement for the year, which is put I
d mil tit 17 1,255 bales, against 317,620 ;
bales last year.

For the past twenty year* the navigation
of the Catawba river has been a
subject of more or lets discission?-especially
in political eireles and by citizens
along the river who will be financially
benefited. Fvcn as far hack as
lS'JDit was thought practicable l?y our
foreiathcrs to run boat.? along this river.
During lhoy year a ]>r<>-j>?ptiu^ company
was of the opinion tbbt it would
Le a good investment to put the river
in condition for boats, and went to tho
expense of having it surveyed, and in
fact this company went so far as to
have work done in tho \v^y ,ol iu^rovii'.r
t'-<> river. Dams and locks ..at
various places were built. Some of
our readers v ill rcmemlx*r when work

the general gov* rnincnt took very
little int* rest in improving our inland
stream:-. I he company referred to
was expecting aid from the State, hut
this ?hi failing t<> come or by some
other means the enterprise was abandoned.
1 n 1 S7"?, v. h< 11 Congrv-s seemed more
favorable towards internal iiuproveI
incn;-\ mi examination of the river
I was order* *1. Col. ST. Albirt, of
Washington, was delegated to make
1 this examination, which was done, but
Congress never took action upon hi-,
report. During the last session ot
Congress the matter was agitated
again, whereupon four hills were in*
trod need for the purpose of securing
an examination of Catawba river in
.North v aroium, Catawba river in
South Carolina, Wateree and San too
in South Carolina. These different
section- all being a part of iho same
stream a combined arrangement waellbctcd
to have <ine party do the
whole work. Col. .J. M. Walhroet, ol
Washington, but whose lieiuhptarters
are now at Norfolk, Ya., was appointed
to this service. lie (or some time
has been engaged in examining the
Nettsc and Trent rivers in the eastern
part ef this State hut that work
having heen accomplished, he proeee.ls
at otiee to work ??n the Catawba
river.
About two weeks ago (Jul.Walbrcet,

is to get an approximate estimate
of fitting ihe river for navigation or
to ascertain whether or nut it would
justify an appropriation to make an
actual survey. Col. W. will make a
report to the next Congress as to the
condition of the river and other points
of evidence necessary for consideration,

he is lively, bright and interesting,
being familiar with any subject
that you may bring up, and always
giving new light and information to it.
This makes the Judge exceedingly

which we commend him. As a Judge
