. 1aa|;n of the times. It shows the inflo
* twos of the great staple in restoring the
' aaonetary conditien of the couutry. It
'J wtf almost providential that ths finan
*' cial crash did not occur a month or two
later. Had the ?Otto? crop btcn
? ffupped and tba crash come
* W?h the drafts against it in the hand*
' or the banks and eottoa houses through
out the South, this seetion would have
oWO
been ruined?absolutely mired. There
would not hare been a prominent bank
that could have survived, and they
^ejsald, have gone under before the de
faaitofs could have made a run upon
them. As it is, tba North, with all its
wealth, will suffer more thaa the South,
because it hao ae esek powerful reserve
to bring into the field. At this time
there never 4? any TOT? considerable
amount of currency among a<; inasmuch
? tos? iupply baa boon exhausted in
raising the crop and every interest is
icoking forward ta the harvest which
moat command ita two hundred and
fifty millions of money ander any eir
cumstsnces. There is, it is true, great
stringency ia currency?for any other
? fJfXfoae than to boy cotton.*
Those who have money are holding
for that very purpose, and ethers who
s^afs? ; drawn their dopsaits from the
banks are holding 'it book, while those
Who receive ft from any aourec are also
biding it away against ths crisis IIa
man nature ia controlled by aalf interest,
aad in such (emergencies becomes much
mere selfish, than sensible. Every man
thinks (hat ha moat look out for himself,
runs to the bank, pulls eat his money,
cod buries it away ia bis strong box or
trunk'. There b no bank in tba country
that could stand a peraintent run, because
the very natura, of its business requires
liest a' largo portion of its deposits should
he invested io asourities which cannot
bo realized upon ia a moment. The
aatteoaa! batiks, too, are under the strict
eat ?aited States law, aad may bo
thrown into the kaads of a reseivor at
any moment, in ease of Irs violation.
All there incidents attend and increase
? panic, and alia trouble io a community
KU own b that everybody gets scared
aad waste to do something, instead of
keeping quiet and cool. The whole
baaBsssas of life in a system of reciprocal
relation and mutual dependsnoo, and, in
seasons of fioaaeial treble, the nndis

or either of these component parts, and
yea disturb the whole construction. Tu
make a run on a bank la which you hsva

8ATI RDAT, OCT. 11, 1873.
Owing to the pre sure of professional
engagements in Court, the editor has
had no time to prepare the new's local
column for the -?re?ool week.
That duty ha> been ably aud pleasantly
diehart.ed by Mr. J. Herman W.ihter.a
to whom the editor returns many thanks
for his timely and courte? u aoistaueo.
Holding fIn<>B? Horte??r??l Cot
ton Ih It Iloncat?
The prominent position whioh Mr. D .
Wvatt Aikcn hold? in the agricultural
societies of the Stabs entitles him tobe
regarded aa their representative, anJ
gives to hie views an importance which
they might not otherwise posacss. S>
long aa he df*+f*nr?c* en topics connec
ted with the interest to which he has
devoted his labors, we confeas oer igno
ranee and listen as tn one speaking with
authority, bit when, exceeding those
limits, he lectures mo finance aud prosau
ttre a code of morals for his constituents
we >re at libi rty to qncstioa hia ability,
and dispute his instruction, although we
never held a pi-ugh or handled a
h <e.
We do not prnpo?e to disc Mr
Aiken'a peculiar views of finance as
expressed in huCofceabury letter. We
would only suggest to him to inform
himself upon a subject before no ventures
to write up-v, it ee.- r'i? .V i. for tho o \*
hardly a statement in Ills lctt?r which ia
not an error; h-irdly a coadusi in which
is not illropically d aaa ftvui his state
meats. We have tot time to review
them all l*et one example suffice.
Speaking of the circulation of the Na
tional Hank* he says it is I 'gaily restrict
ted ' but "who ever examin *s to ream
whether they i??u- one hundre I thou,
aaad dollars or one "million f" Is it
passible that Mr. Aikcu does not know
that every bill which a Nation*! liattar
iai>ue? is furnished to it frun Washing
ton, is signed by Hie Trexsury officials
at Washington, sad that the amount
of ttiA?c bills ia r*gtiUto I by th - am<iunt
of bonds deposited in the United States
Treasury by the llersk ? Aol did it
never occur to Mr. AikeO) that if his
statement nss correct, and the issue of
hills was unrestricted that not one of
the suspension he compUins of WOO Id
have oceured f The bsnki suspended
because they had no hills and ooald got
none. Mr. Aikrn's statements and hb
conclusions, liko the famous Kilkenny
cats est each other up.
It seems als-* tn have entirely escaped
Mr. Aiktn'? attention- that the moat
extensive and di?s*tfous financial revul
sions have oceured when there were do
national banks, when circulation wes
based on gold and silver, and whea there
was, practically, no limit to ihe power of
if uiing bills. Hut, as we ?aid befure,
the financial views of Mr. Aikeo, how
ever original; do not interest us, that
which docs ox cite in us a feeling of
alarm?and he will paadoo a* fer saying
a feeling also of indignation?b the
new code ef morale which he seeks to
iaatill into tho planters of the State. It
is hat justice to Mr. Aikcn to aay that
acquit bit* of all i mention to do wrong;
hut the errors of even good men often
produce iocalctsUble mischief. We are
willing to belrove that Mr. Aikeo does
not pteeeive the logical consequence of
his own teaching; hut, disguise it from
himself a* he may, his remedy far .tho
evil begins and aads in sheer dishones
ty. If his instruct ions wero reduced to
practice, the agricultural interest of the
State would be irretrievably lauded in
bankruptcy, moral and material- This
we du not state this too strongly lot as
examine the Instruction. What b tho
ad floe, whioh Mr. Alken gives to (ha
planters? To hold their cotton.
Admirable advice if the planter waa
free of debt, aad bb cotton free of lien,
but the planter w indebted to tho factor |
for the Tory money whioh raised the I
crop, and the factor is indebted to the
bank for the money loaned to the plan
ter, and has put up, with the bank, his
collateral to raise the money adranoed.
The faotor owes the bank and the plan*
ter owes the factor, aod has the cotton
to pay ike debt. Now what is common
law and common honesty ? Why, clear
ly, that the pi inter should send his cot
ton forward to pay the debt when it be
comes due. V\ bat ia tho advice which
Nr. Aiken gives? To hold it, end
?*fo r?u/ the execution of "the lien by any
mean* at hand." We give it in his own
words; for nothing leas can render sj
shocking a proposition credible. The
factor, asking only that the planter
should perform what he has premised, is
according to Mr. Aikea, "a Shy "leek
who knows no one but hi ass! f," bat th e
planter, accor-liog to Mr. Aiken, is to
be et liberty to break his promise.
Whom would the planter, in saeh oase,
consider but himself? Doee he not do
that very thing which Mr. Aikea so
indignantly condemns in Jay Ceoke Jk
Co.?suspend, "with their pockets
full ?"
Moral laws arc general in their pplioa
tion ; there is nothing which exempts a
planter from their influence, or renders
that, innooent in him, which would be
culpable in a Merchant. Yet Mr
Aiken'i advieeia, that the planter, with
the means of payment in his hands,
should break his promise and "resist by
any means at hand"?which of course
means violence?"the execution of the
lien." Faith into be broken, the law
defied, violence resorted to. and the
whole framework of society, whieh rests
on Law and Justice, rent and shattered
as by a tempest, and for what ? To
enable a planter to avoid the payment of
his jutt debt. We have too high a
respect for the intelligence and charac
ter of the planters of this State to
believe it poisible that they could be
influenced by counsel* so weak and
viciows.
It is a little carious that Mr. Aiken
seems never to have considered that if
hie remedy was possible, and was ap
plied the only result would be first to
rain the factor and then the planter. The
factor would be protected b? tbebaak,
and his collaterals sold ou t j the planter
would eventually have to pey his debt,
and we fancj would find himself at a loss
to raise the advance for tho next erop.
Bat it is a waste of time seriously to
criticise a remedy so utterly imprsctic
able, whieh bogiaa in bad faith, ends in
violence, and ean hare bat one reauW,
the utter ruin of every one affected by
it.
To the extent of his ability and in
fl -ence Mr. Aiken has made misehief.
He has endeavored to arrary ene inter
est against another, when a cordial ua
ion and harmony is essential to the pre
servation of each and the prosperity of
the State. At a critical period, when
confidence is needed, he has sought to
so*, distrust and excite suspicion. And
the means suggested are as objectionable
ss the end. We are all mutually snd
reciprocally dependent, sind are bound
to each other for the observance of the
purest good faith. Whoever, by .teach
ing or example, breaks down our rever
ence for honor and honesty, or tempts
us, however subtly, to evade the oblige
tiona they impose, merits the prompt re
bake of all who have at heart the char
acter and future of the State. We hat?
last much, but we have not yet had to
blush for the loss.
? II the evils of which Mr. Aiken
complains arise from the planter's want
of capital. The true remedy, then, is
not to add to the want of capital the
want of credit, but, by punctuality and
economy, to increase both. Thus, in
truth, will the planter be independent;
free to bold or sell as judgment dictates.
It is the position he ought to occupy,
and which we hope be will soon reach,
for with his prosperity the interests of
all are indissolably connected ; bat, to
be durable and bonficial, it must bo the
result of bis own honest efforts, and not
the fruit of injustice to others.?New k

COUNTY OF ORANGEBURG
In tiii; Court op General Sessions:,
Fall Term, Oct. 10,1873.
To the Hon. h. F. Graham :
The Grand Jury of the County re
? pectfuily present ; that ,
1. They Ind all the Public Buildings
la good repair, and hare no recommen
dation to make on this subject, exempt
that the pickets on the Court Hwusc
fence should be secured by straps.
2. That all the County Offices to
which they got access are well kept.
The Treasurer's Office was locked up,
and be and his Clerk both out of town,
but tbey find from ihj Offices of the
Ccunty Commissioners and the School
Commissioner, that he has neglected to
make the monthly returns required by
the 12th Sec. chap. 13 of the Revised
Statutes, sod the 6th Sec. of the Aet
concerning School Funds. Many com
plaints wer?; also made about his failing
to pay School Orders, because not in
funds. They investigated one ease to
see if it was not mere clamor, and
found that the Treasurer in the single
return made to the School Commission
er, admits having, fur tho Township of
Branchville $530. On this the School
Commissioner says he has countersignrd
orders fur only $439.83, and he identi
fied as one of tho orders included in the
1439.83 one produced by Mr. E. T.
Smoke, who held it for collection, and
says it was presented aud dishonored on
the plea ot no funds.
Tho Jury had their attention drawn
to tho fact that the County Commission
ers had disallowed the charges of Trial
Justices for more than one recognizance
in each case, and the County Commis
sioners desired an expression from the
Jury of their view. The Jury referred
the matter to the Special Solicitor, who
had been ordered by the Judgo to assist
them. 41e advised them that there was
no law to restrict the charge to one
recognizance in each case, but in their
opinion there should be one, and they
desire to see some restriction enacted.
4. They lastly present that the Trial
Justices throughout this County are
vary remiss in negleciing to enforce
what is commonly called tho Tuppor
Law, as they are required to do by the
Kith Section of the 80th chapter of the
Revised Statutes.
