Tho Now York World on tho Now De parture . Now that tho question of forbearing any further opposition to tho now amendments is virtually dcoidcd, it may not bo omis? to con sider tho n?turij of tho'"situation" wbicli tho Pjinooratio party "accopts." We can best dosoribo-it by a comparison. Suppose that in-tho trial of. a civil suit, there is a mixed ?anel of whito aud colored jurymen. John loo, of tho parties to- tho suit, challenges jv.--, every coloved juryman whoso nanto is diawa from tho box, but in spite of bis opposition, tho jury, as actually sworn, finally composed of niuo white and titrco colored citizens. Would John Doo act lileo a man of souse if ho should therefore petulantly give up his caso and refuse to produce his witnesses ? Tho merits of his suit are not altered by tho composition of the jury. Thc presence of tho ?fluok jurymen cannot chango cither thc law or tho facts,; and since Iiis case must be tried by thc jury, bc will, if a wise man, di rect his counsel to take even more pains than usual, nnd carefully avoid insulting or affron ting thc black jury ?iori. Thoro they arc, on thc jury benches; and whothor ho like or dislike them, ho cannot get them away until they havo rendered their vordict. Quito similar to this is thc political situa tion since the establishment of negro suffrage. Tho political questions remain precisely thc aarho as if they were to bo decided by thc votes of unadulterated, whito constituencies. Tho really importa ut thing is to have these questions rightly decided, according to tlieir truo mor it?, not whether tho'dooision is made hy a larger or smaller constituency of voters Tho point for thc jury to try is not whether their own body is properly composed, hut the ?uestion of fact between tho plaintiff and ofondant in thc suit before thom. We only muddle and confuse political controversies, if wo fail to distinguish between thc questions to bo decided and the persons who arc lode oide them. Dy accepting negro su Ur iga wc increase our chances of a candid heiring on praotical issues Tho negroes are of little account if wc can control tho judgment of thc whito voters. There are teri whito voters to ono negro voter, taking the country nt largo. In twenty Iwo of tho thirty-seven States there are thousands of whites entitled to thc right of franchise to every negro, rind those twenty two Stiles contain more titan two thirds of our population. It is their opinion whioh we need to inila enco, which wc can most easily do by with drawing their attention from thc decided question of suffrage and fixing it upon pend ing questions of public policy. The misrule of thc last ten years has been the fruit uf misguided white voting. Its chief support has boen white majorities in thc Northern States, in most of w hich negroes have not vo ted at all within tho last, fourteen mouths, since tho fifteenth amendment was declared adopted, lt is not negro voting, but perverse whito voting, that hus s* nearly rained the country. Now, of thc question whether (ho right of suffrage shall be eon tinned to the negroes, the Republican mn jori tics would be altogether larger,'for most I >o m oe ru ts do not wish to ai rest the experiment, lt is too obvious that for tho Democratic parly to make negro suf frage a political issue would be courting inev itable, overwhelming defeat, because a pre ponderant and constantly growirig majority of thc people, arc unwilling to disturb what hos boen done. Tt. ?a high time, then, for Ui to noeept tho settled composition of a jury, and proceed to argue our ease on i';; merits, We, therefore, most heartily rejoice in (IK declaration of tho Ohio Democracy, that they "recognize, ns accomplished facts, tho ihret amendments to thc Constitution recently do dared adopted, and con udor tho same ns nc longer political issues before the country i" and we feel equal satisfaction in tito furthci unequivocal, emphatic declaration "that tlu Democratic pr.rty pledges itself to a full, faith ful, and absolute execution and enforcement of tho Constitution ns it now is, so as tose ?ure equal rights to all perrons under it with out distinction of race, colov or condition," "TllE FAini'lKt.I) D RP A RT URE."-It ii gratifying to hear from nil sides that the croj of Fairfield this year is so far, take it ni mound, tho host crop we have had since thc war ; that it hos cost, nnd will have cosl much less lo make it; that of tho expense very much more than heretofore has hoon cash paid down and no credit ; -and that ev erybody is confident that tho cotton crop nt least will bring ti fairer price next \. inter. This is the style of "departure" wo believoin Lob us:go in steadily on this line, and pol?tica troubles will in timo disappear. While tin Democratic- party are doing us royal serviei nt thc North by lotting, the negro alone, wliiel will soon soon compel the Radicals to let tin Southorn white man nlone, let the South kee] aloof from nny attempt nt n loading part ii national politios, oud tall into linc upon "tin Fairfiold depnrtnro."

P d wren 0 and I o'clock, on Monday night, a large plank kiln in the Lumber Yard of Mr. JOHN KAI TM ANN, in Walhalla, was discovered to be on fire. Tho alarm waa ut once given, and the citizens repaired to the piuco, but. the lire had made so much head way that all ( {Torts to save the lumber proved felita.

Py moans of a temporary lank, rilled j with buckets, they arrested thc spread of the fire among the loose lumber in the yard, of which lhere were large fiui'ii titles, and extin guished thc embers. Tho Weather Is, perhaps, tin exception lo anything here tofore remembered in the world of clouds and sunshine. Though almost daily heavy rains attended with winds visit us, yet Ihry seem to have no perceptible effect in fooling thc atmosphere. Whether clear, cloudy or raining, the temperature is oppressively hot. This would bo gratifying lo the farmer, could he have an opportunity tn clean his crop of thc foulness of grasses and weeds, but Ihesc enemies are making great headway while the ground is too wet for cultivation. Tho nros poct is, however, in thc main favorable to corn, of which we expect an abundant yield. Wheat proved poor j oula are fair; gardens very lino. If, after so much wet, we should suffer a summer drought, our crops would he shortened very much. Wc hope for favorable seasons during thc summer, and an abundant harvest in thc fall.

What he docs not say, thc fact of a talk with him, gives opportunity to say for Mmv In some cases Mr. Correspondent names h?s inkstand an honorable, and asks and answers questions to suit tho purposes ot bis journal. Thc magnitude of this new idea exhibits ono of the plans for tho campaign of 1872. ThcsO real and fancied interviews are to bo kept be foro the people of thc North, and used in radical speeches to tire the dying spirit of the party. A few reports of speeches by South ern men to their own people will bo added to keep up thc excitement of Northern hatred and preserve thc party in power The pub lie good m a secondary consideration to party success. What in reality signify these inter views '! Mr. TOOMBS is but a man, so is Mr. DAVIS; and yet thc words of thc latter to people of Atlanta are blazoned throughout the North to provc(?) that, tho wat* spirit of our people is still alive and ready to break out at any moment. Apart from its uso for a purpose, every journal in the North?would laughat thc idea of another war being Waged hy thc Southern people. There could bc no hope but death anti utter ruin, holli of which will come soon enough without war. We do n.)t believe these things can affect much good either way, though, perhaps, our people would do well at present to act upon tho old proverb, "that a still tongue makes n wisc head." Goa John A.

The assumed arengo of the respective States Icing un ele ment in the calculation, will place th? reduo-? lion of the cotton in 1871, as compared with that of 1S70. between 14 and 1 f) per cord. i't|uivtilcnt to nearly a million and n third of acres. This would leave between seven and n half and eight mi.lions df acres us tho pres ent urea in tho cotton. The nvorngc yield has mit in Conner years exceeded 150 pounds per acre; that of 1S70 was moro than 200 pounds. Tho condition of the growing, phut is below an average in nearly every State. The spring has been unusually weft and cold, retarding Hie growth and causing; many of thc plants to turo yellow and die, and obstructing cultivation to a large extent/ Iteplaiitiug has rei!d -d thc vacant ppn?pft of im perfect stands. Thc weather has recently been moro fiiyorablo, and it. is not i inpossible: that an average condition may be attained by the commencement nf the picking season. Thc condition of cotton in .Juno, of 1809, a year favored with an abundant yield, was only a lillie better than the showing for dune of the pivsen! your. While the prospect ts slightly improving, there is nothing in it of a decis ive ebal act ? l'. The per ccutago below an av erage condition is respectively as follows in the respectivo Sutes : North Carolina, 10 per cen*. ; South Carolina. 8; Geoi'Jiia, 18 ; Al ubinia, li'; Mississippi, 10; Louisiana, 10; Texas, 7 ; Arkansas, 17 : Tennessee 10. In? Florido thc condition is 8 per cent, above un average. An official estimate of tho ultimado result so early in the season would bo nu ab surdity. The influence ? f future ruins, floods,, frosts and insect enemies cannot be calculated in advance ; but. in view of tho extremely fa vorable circumstances attending the crop of last year, there cannot bo ex poe ted, the pres cut year, upon a reduced area, a crop exceed ing 8,:>00 000 hiles. An carly frost, or thc prevalence of insects, or a very unpropitious s.-.ison, might redime the yield to 8,000,000' bdes; and a slid further reduction is possi ble in tho union or severity of several of these cans- s of failure.
