idea tle total failure of a cotton erop I

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

safet policy i. as far as practica. d

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

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

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

Gen. Gary supplemented th3se re

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

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
