Couple with this I idea tle total failure of a cotton erop I either tron the worm, or from dtought, or iany other unavoidable cause. Ii probiatble as such visitations may ap- ear, we havo not the power b to preventi them, and is it wihe to d subIject ourselvts to the possibilly of . ccomling the victims of such calatmi ties ? Depcnd upon it, our wimoet and e safet policy i. as far as practica. d ble, to produce at houe our ieces a, sary supplics. Is there a f.rm in the Suuth tpon which this cannot be dome and at the saie time pioduce an average cotton crop ts the net result a of the farmers utanual labor ? We ji believe there is not., and you have only to practice this policy for the year 1874, a. d harvst time will proelaim redemption to the South and a return to wonted pros[erity. As our (outtitution expresses it, te the prosperity (of a nation is in pro portion to the value of its productions Then how magnificently pro-perous hould be the Cotton St ates of this Urioan ? Antnually 4,000,000 of bales v of cotton are ploduced npon South. era boils. But what proportion of this vast i anount is returna to indicte our prospe ity I One-half of it is ex pended for necessary supplies, while the remainder is di--ided between la- t bor and taxes. llenaco the cost of ti production has cxceeded the value of the asticle produced. Shall this policy continue I Extensive cotton crops have cvinao ed no unity of purpose and entailed i poverty upon 's. An equally uni form aidhiesi.>n to Mixed husbandry would stcuro our r( culeration. Pa. trons of tle South do you appreciate a jour piivileges I Reflect upon your A opportunity to exact tribute of the t world. Cotton is a necebity, and (he extcut of that necessity caL be caletlated with exctness. It is equally well known what proportion of necessity must be supplied by the a Cotton Stitcs of America. If 3,500,- I 000 bal( s are grown, they will be cousumed before auother crop can be gatheaed, and a remunerativo market priceo will be sustained by 4 the consequent denj.anad. If 4,500,- t the market. It is not within the power of our organiz,%tion to control I this feature of our condition. Al. C ternativesi for success are numerous, a but we ieed rely only upou the sin glo one of co-operating in the do termiaatioan to ubsist at home. With this end attained, thero is no ra,9son why wo should not be the b bapiest, mo-t independent and pros. t, perous people on carth. D. Wyatt Aikoam, S. C., Member Ex. Co'am. Nat. Grange WV. 11.

IlTho proceedinags were maarked by digniy and moderation, fr and received enacomiumas fromt the c press, North and South. We believe that mulh good will be acconmplished. gi MVo surrender cur ed itorial apae to a synaopsis of its proceedings. The addresases will be published inu full at a subseqiuent time.$ The Lcirislture. e1 Of late, the Legislature has boen gi showing some signs of reform. Sov.. La eral measures have been enacted, di lookinag to economay. But on Friday tI last, thecy apparently lost they gripo, sh and went plunaging headlong back ge into extravagance. On Thursday, thec tb eppropariationa for the Penitentiary thm reported at $65,000, was cut down to $50,000, on motion of Mackey in .ya vo te o f 72 to 21. Oan the fol.. si< lowing day, Minort brought up the mnatter again, and succeeded in rais. sh ing the amaotut to $80,000 by a vote of 58 to 38. Ana inacrease of 30,000, th~ and a cbange of 141 votes in one day, is very suspicious- Even the Union. of Herald denounces thme Legislature to for this robbery. Mackey, Ilurley, Hiumburt and others, battled manful. anv ly agaianst this a win ilo. Butg Minort Gzeaen, Spoary and others led the gi, ooraunt wembera .and ainedth dkayJ.. ma r for due performanoe of his duty, and f that he shall reeive a ..ary vf $1, - 200. Gen. Gary supplemented th3se re marks in a an eaoquent topeeoh. A debat1i thens followed on the subject. The rep.unt was adopted. Maj. F. R Mleichers was uoaiinmously elected a State Coimmismioner of Immigration. Col. C. I. Siuotou presented a 1 reported on heavy taixation which was - ordered to be sent to the Legialature. Gon.

A-nomi nt..ei lthing petitioning for re.,i, r.tion, far camoulativo V itinig, anid for elec tion of Jnlstiges of the P0.430, instead of having Trial Jutstieo4 appointed. This provoked an interesting de -n bIto. Ae.,s. Soreven, G.,Auchat, Chatfeld and othe-s favored the - memorial. Mu.srs. Moise and John Wallace ol poned it. Gien. Ker-haw favored the menoial, but was op. r posed to cumulative voting. Gen. Chesnut defended the schemui in an r n ble nddress, ot the ground of right. The remit with some modification was hadpted.

All uitizens, whito and black, ah , pay taxes are to be admitted to amemcabership. 'ach T member is to pay a snall percentage annually of the tax levied upon him. The execu. tive coiuittee was charged wit-a the duty of preparing a constitution, and as the delegates fiom the various coun ties wer'e appoiuted commnittees to carry out the plan and effect a~n or a galaization. The report was adopted. On maotion of Capt. F. W. Dawson, -the commcaittee apapointed to confer with thae Liegi%latuao were insrtructed to repaort iaa thirty days the reault of thir effort.c Geon. Kershaaw isubcmitted an ad. ', dress to the people of the State, g whlich wast nadopted, and it was or odered to ibe p.blished. It sets forth 0that the Convenction had ap~pealed to " the Legisliature acnd to Cocngress for the redres~s of wrocngs, and advises ni themn to orgsciiz in a lawful mcanner . and( J.ra secute ini the courts of the eState all (lishonlhst officimals. 0 A letter was received from certain " tbondholders in New York, protesting r against any action on the part of the e (cnventions loa'kinag to the repudiation vf State bonds.

Ojtl~o matters or minor imcport were intrAdneced and discussed by > various umcbers. Theo papers of thme State speak with great confidence of the good results ,to be expected from this Convention. Troops in the South. In tho tostimoony recently given by Gena. Irvin McDowoll, cmmnander of the military department of the South,. before thae military commrittee of the House of Rtepresientaatives, that ofi. eer expressed it as his conviction that it would bo unwise to make any re duotioni of the airmay at this time.--a As a reason for this opiuion, ho says : "Trher~e is much opposition ini the 3 South against the general govern mont, and it would be difficult for the civil authority to execute theo laws in some portions of the South, if not for the presenco of the mili. tary." This statement".ontains two propo. 0 sitions, the one the sequence of the i other-namely, that the Southern o Dole are unfaithful toe atio:al t 1overoment, and that they will re. Sognise its laws and obey its man. date$ only at the point of the bayo not. The frat has often been stated by politiolans, and for the past eight years has been-so fruitful of political oapital to the dominant party, that we ean very' well understand their reluetanee to relinquish it. Had the testimony abo ,ited been given by afeott or a \ison, a Colfax or a Whittemore, it would have called forth on our part neither surprise nor indignation, the lke assertions of such wen being too common to cause the one feeling, and too eontemptible to exeite the other. But from an old army officor, taught as we pre sume him to have been, to bury the feelings of the paitisan in the impar tial souse of duty of the soldier, and to regard all sections of the country as but parts of a coumuou union. We had expected something different and something better. As a question of simple fact, we doem it noodless to advance arguments to prove the fidelity of the South to the n..tional government; to the people of our own section, such arguments would be but a repetiti.in of what they al. ready know ; and to that clhss of whom Gen. Irvin MuDowell is a wor thy sample, no statement of the truth by a Southern journal can carry con viction. The General's idea is pue rile, unsoldierly a-d absurd. As to the other proposition advanc ed by this ready witnoss, the diffloul ty of enforcing Federal laws without the bayonet's aid, the question of its justieo is simply one of fact. Where Gen. McDoholl obtaiu.s his in formation, we are of course unable to say, but come it whence it way, it is without foundaition in fac'. Thu laws of the United States, many of th.:n odious aid oppressive, are daily enforced in tho South with no aid frou the nilitar3 ; and in Cao.i where the nwarshals eed assistaue e all ordluary posu is quite euflicieAt. We very much fear that Gen. Mo Dowell ib prompted by some other than a pure sense of duty. It way be that ie, in common with many officers btationed in the South, feels a little chagrin at his exclusion from Southern *eciely, and that he ak h e..eebionm as one evidence short time previous to the Genoal's recent tour of inspectiou through his department, a gentleuan inquired of in offloer stationed in the upper p),,r. tion of this State his views as to the probability of an early removal of tL.e troops. The oflicer in reply, stated, among Gther things, that imuch would de; end upon the reception met with by Gen. McDowell during his trip, that if the people ricoived him so cially, his impression of the state of affairs might ho such am to onuse lhim to recommenemd a withdrawal of the military, and that otherwise, they would probably remain, Ilow much Gen. McDowell hasu been promapted by personal feeling we leave it to bia conscience and sense of honor to de termine. We are at a loss to per. ceivo how any United States1 ofli oer can exp~ect full social privileges ID the the South, when he remnembe~s the many cowardly and oppres~sive acta done under the guise of military au thaort. Such mnon as Schofield, or Terry, or Siokhes, or the mar ty r Canby, or the autocrat Merrill, to ay nothing of numberless underlings, can scarcely expect to be received into full fellowship with true South. cau people. Nor abould Gon. lavin Mellowell forget that ho wears the same emblems ?f power, and Is inltent upon exercising the samne authlority as those of his confreres who have rendered themselves odious by their needlees interference with matters strictly local in their nature aind re.. The presence of troops is not hate ful to the Southern people, and they have bcome quite ur.ed to their de monstrations of mlimnicry of war. When, however, it is atten-pted to miake capital for a particular foction out of imaginary opposition to the rastionial govarnment, it is but right hat the slanders thus Lttered against ur people should be met and do. ounced.
