For years thc most successful plantera and the best writers on Sunt hern Agri culture have urgi d upon our people tho necessity of a di vers i Oed agriculture in order lo give to the planter timi indepen dence and profit which can be derived from a well conducted faun. Our people have seen by experience that the planter who raises bis own supplies prospera most, and yet tho o!d fashioned trazo for thc broad acres of cotton keeps posses* sion of nine-tenths of our farmers, and the cons?quence is that ihe Soulh has made small liiinilciul progress compared to what she might have mudo by a com mon sense system of agriculture. We have seen many ai tides on this subject, bul none have stated it more clearly and more tersely Ulan Messrs. Latham, Alex ander A Co. do in their circular prefacing their late book upon "Colton Movement und Fluctuations from 1870-188!*." These gentlemen aro prominent Hankers mid Couoii Commission .Merchants in thc city of New York, who have ns in timate an acquaintance with the laws governing the production ami value of colton as tiny authority in America or Europe. Their circular which prefaces their valuable book concludes as follows: "At the close of tho season there is mitch to eucourug! confidence in belter prices for cotton. Securities of all kii ' >. uro on fur siller basis than tor some time past. All the staple products of the country uro lower in price than they were a your ugo. Of them nil cotton has declined most, and is relatively the cheapest ; it is now 2| cents a pound cheaper than at this time last year. "Although, us before mentioned, the crop of tho past year had been ruado at less cost than usual, it was only thc exceptionally taree yield that eventually mudo it profitable to planters. I oder the present system of devoting so much lund to cotton there is danger of over production, und bountiful crops may thus be made n source of misfortune rather than of benefit. 1 On the other band, if planters would raise less cotton and would make nt homo tho grain, corn and provisions they now buy, their colton would bring a better price, and tho money received for it would remain in tho South. The South would soon become tho richest country in the world, for tho sums received for tho cotton crop uro vost almost beyond comprehension, ns may ho seen by a glance nt tho table headed Money Value of tho Cotton Crops, in another pnrt ol this book. Year ufler year the crop sells for hundreds of millions of dollars, mid yet year niter year planters remain bor rowers of money ut high rates of inter est, owing lo their present system of making cotton almost exclusively ; not eveu corn enough for their absolute needs being made in thc South. Vet tho crop they produce lins for yours determined tho financial policy of tho government Without the immense sums received from abroad for tho single article of cotton, resumption of specie payments would huvo lind to bo indefinitely posponed. "Tho table mentioned shows tlint in thirteen years $2,618,190,183 wcro re ceived ?roin ahmad for colton exported. Without the cotton crop tho present wealth and prosperity of the United States would have been impossible. Hut cotton provides ouch year ii sure source , of revenuo from abroad. The export of other staple products, such us wheat or corn, depends upon tho stato of crops in Europe ; but that of cotton is steady mid uninterrupted. Tho aggregate value of thc cotton raised in this country in the past thirteen years was ?1,936,798,070 dollars ; tho South by becoming self ?sus taining could keep absoluto control over this great article that the world must buy."' Tho views expressed above ought to carry conviction to our people and in duce a chango of tho ?ill cotton produc tion. Tho South is wasting her oppor tunities. Sho is voluntarily remaining in a position nf sectional dependence where it would bo easier, moro pleasant and moro profitable to bc independent. A?? Messrs. Latham, Alexander k Co, express it, tho very bountifulness of our crops injure our people, for the over pro duction depresses the value of cotton, and ns it is practically the only Southern crop our planters must sell, oven if the staple brings less than the actual cost of production. Then when a bad crop year overtakes the South, great financial stringency, and in many ceses actual privation results. The large surplus which always remains on hand, und the assurance that the planter is obliged to sell his cotton practically as soon m it is prepared for market, keeps the price down, nnd thc short crop is sold at prices as low or lower than those which pre vail in flush years. Tho planter sees a practical illustration of this fact in the prices of this year ns compared with tho last year. The crop of last year was probably 1,500,000 bales in excess of the crop this year, and yet the fuct that the cotton planter is obliged to sell, let the price ho what it may, keeps the prices this year as low as cr lower thau they were lost year. This ought to carry con viction to the Southern farmer. If in stead of all cotton, our people would raise their own corn, wheat, oats, meat and vegetables, they could afford to bold their cotton crop which would then be come practically a surplus crop until they wero offered a remunerative price for it, and even if they preferred to sell at a low price, they would still havo a competence to live on at home instead of going in debt as many, if not most of them, do for the very bread tbey live oa during the next year. The South cannot prosper in any marked degree as long as this system prevails. The rule ?ow with thousands of farmers who run furnia of fifty or one hundred acres is to go in debt for supplies at tho beginning of the year and plant cotton to pay it with. When the end of the year comes they usually just about balance up, so as to keep sufilclent credit to get in debt again for the next year's supplies. The ocseqneoce is they live extremely poor* ly and work very hard all the year around--their only satisfaction at the end of the year being tho reflection that their labor has mode enough cotton to pay their debts, the profits from which go to enrich the local merchants and the wholesale dealers. The merchants, how ever, are not to blame, for (heir kindness .nd indulgence ia the only thing that enables the cotton-crazed planter to sup? jxnrf hts family. As a general thing, the mea who make lite great cotton crop, which ia Hie source of so much wealth to the United State*, live poorer and work Larder than nny other clu*s of men-in many instances thinking themselves happy il they eau buy enough bacon ami corn bread on a lien tu subsist from one planting season to another. This is an extremo presentation of the subject, hut ii is approximated entirely too close ly by nil of our cotton planters. They would live better und have more money, j if they would plant more cereals and . less cotton. There is no reasou why our: farmers cannot have au abundance of corn, wheal and meut, with vegetables ' und fruits. A small garden worked as much im un acre of cotton will give len I times the palatable ami healthy diet that can lie procured with the proceeds from the acre of cotton. A lillie utlen- ' lion given to pasturage will yield many j limes the comforts of living in milk and butter that the same work on cotton will give. Poultry, hogs, sheep und callie, can bu attended to ju odd minutes with much more profit than thc same lime given to cultivating cotton. <>ur people can see from thc views expressed hy Messrs. 1.album, Alexander & Co., thai thc possibilities for Southern agriculture aregieat. The fin ure prosperity ol tue country, however, docs not dopend upon Iht* ?lumber of acres planted in colton. Th? cultivation of thc cereals, of vegC' tables, of grasses, of fruits end the rais ing of flock, callie und poultry, ia the thing that is to give prosperity, health, chet rfulncsH ami pleasure to our section. This is thc pursuit which is lo make our farmers contented and independent. Those who first realize and act upon ?Iii", will lirst nap the advantages of progres sive Southern agriculture. llaiso your own supplies at home, mid make colton a surplus crop, is the talisman of af ll u - euee to thc Houth. THU DEMOCRATIC OPl'OKTL'NITY. When thu next session of Congress begins thc Democrats will find them selves in possession of ibo 1 louie of Repr?sent?t i ves, while the Republicans have both tho Semite and thc entire Executive department of thu govern ment. It will, therefore, be utter folly to attempt nny pnrty legislation ut this time. Il may be heroic for a minority to enact laws that they know will be defcuted in tho Semite or vetoed by tho 1'rcsidciit, but it is not good politics. The experience of the Democrats in enacting purty legislation tu be vetoed by .Mr. Hayes was certainly not such ns to givo assitrntieo of victory in another campaign by pursuing the sumo policy. Tho coming House shou'd profit by thc experience of tho Congress of 18su-?, ant] go into no theoretical or abstract fights, which they know before band will bc defeated or vetoed. Failure is never assuring, howe ver just Ibo cause in w hich it is incurred, but when it is unnecessa rily encountered it becomes a subject ol ridiculo und contempt. The only iustunce in which failure is commenda ble is where an ellbrt is muds to estab lish or maintain a principle. Where it is to maintain H principle, n mun or a party is always to be respected und ad mired for standing to its convictions. In attempting, however, to establish ii prin ciple where there is no opportunity for suecos?, u political party becomes ridicu lous. Such policy retards instead ol udvnnciug the establishment of tho prin ciple, and tho hopeless effort is neither good politics nor good statesmanship. For instance, tho advocates of prohibi tion, by maintaining a separate party organization, are contending for u grout moral principle, tho adoption of which the majority of people will admit would improve tho social and moral condition of tho world, and yet this party, in seek ing the impossible, is wasting its strength and accomplishing no good. Tho Dem ocratic party in Congress nt present is in n position where it can make a similar exhibition of?. lack of judgment, and from tho quantity of pressure which i> being brought to bear upon the member: of Congress from tho South, we fear there is much dangar of tho folly of the policy of political heroics being attempted There aro two errors likely to be com milted. The first and, in our opinion, the greatest is the likelihood of long tiresome, and useless discussion of thc tariff question, which cannot possibly dc any practical good, and will show a vast amount of difference of opinion on thc part of Democratic Congressmen, and s still greater amount of iguorance upoc the subject. It can only give to the Re publicans an opportunity of shifting thc discussion from what they havo doue tc what the Democrats want to do. As tht mattoi stands now, the Democrats cac well arraign tho Republican party foi viecious legislation on the ta rill', but tc attempt to alter it until the subject hat been fully investigated will lose mucb of this advantage. We ull agree on r tariff for revenue, but '?ho knows how much revenue is ueed.'d '.br the propel ad m in ist rp lion of the government. Will the revenues as large ns they aro al prevent, the existing tariff is necessary but if reduced to an economic and pru dent administration, we believe the gov' ornment could be conducted with equal efficiency upon many millions less. Tc ascertain this is ibo most inviting fiele for the present Houso. Let it investi' gate every department of the govern ment, and show to the country ib extravagance and the reduction whicl should be made. When this is done, wc can tell how much revenue is needed end conform our tariff to it. Until we gel this information, all tariff legislation will prove unsatisfactory. In ndditioc to this the Democrats should show ur strongly- the civil service abuser whicl exist under Republicanism. In addi tion to this, the Democratic House should reduce the River and Harbor bil! by leaving out all jobs and little sf reamt which have no national importance. Ic a word, let them show an ability to de ted the extravagances of toe government and a willingness to reform them. Tbit ls a magnificent opportunity if the Deni' ocrats will confine themselves to tb h line of action, and refrain from ent?rine visionary but hopeless conflicts. Anotbei danger which threatens us ls the dispo sition of some Southerners to insist upon outlining the policy of the party. ; The South is not io a position to dictate the policy, for the moment it doe? sc defeat is ensured. V/o ?io afford te pursue such conservative course as tc excite no animosities for a while long? r When the Democrat* obtain the govern ment thc country will see that its iud i csts are m>t menaced by the South, ?mr people know (Iiis io be true, but we mud remember thal there arc thousands nf bigoted ami ignorant voters in the North and West who do not know or believe it. lt is not necessary for us to drive off this class of voters by sectional promi nence, and il is unwise p, ,j(J Wo do not be'jfVO in making a light on the taritl' only in the coming cam paign. We think ii is an important question, hut by no means the most im portant to tito I'tiioii. Thc ?-sue is the complete rc cstabliahm nt ol' peace and concord throughout the United Slures This will never be done until tb? old Republican party, with its ? ar i- tesand prejudices, hits been beaten. .Mt. r this has bein accomplish': I we will be in j >>? sition to discuss thu great economic questions of government d?.*pus*i?naL-iy ff rn I with better prospects i f f vorablo action Upon them.

DKI.I.OATi:. I.KOISI.ATOIt, l ill MIK. Tile Newberry Ohwrrrr iiiith'r this cap tion unburdens its thoughts in the follow ing mysterious um! enigmatic manner: The Kail Hoad Law is admitted mi all bands to huvo proved itself, at least MI far, a miserable failure. Tho failli rn is either from inherent defects in the law Itself, or in its administration hy the Commissioners, tiny. Thompson, no doubt, appointed mon as Commissioners whom he thought most com pot eui to ad minister the law. Tho point wo desire lo make is that the iMnjnlr w ho nomina ted lluv. Thompson in tho Democratic Convention ot IHH'2 mid w as his most ar dent supporter is tho leijuUttur who was, in the 11 ouse, the manager and most eon HpiuilOUH and Konlolls advocate of Ibo rai lr Olid bill, ami is the editor who says in his newspaper 'Tho work of the com mission ls ?ontI enough for tho railroads, but il ls very bad for the people." Then is a dilemma Wrapped up somewhere in lhe.su facts. If ono chooses lo search for lt. Our contemporary refers to thu Editor of the INTELLIGENCER, but is conspicu ously incorrect in Ilia history. Wo did not, us he iis^ert*, nominate Governor Thompson in tho Convention o? 1832. If tho Observer will consult the accounts of the Convention published ut the time, ho will perceive that tho nomination of (iov. Thompson was made hy lion. W. I>. Mauldin, of Greenville, und seconded hy Mr. Livingstone, of Marlboro. Thc Editor of tho ?NTEI.I.IGEN<'l?R voted fol Governor Thompson, but did not nomi nate bim. lt is true that he had charge of the Kail toad Hill in the Mouse nm] advocated its passage. Tor this, lie han no apologies to maleo, lt represented his judgment then, and if properly exe cuted would have his approval now. Thc things wo complain of are the result ol non-action, or what WO regard as unfor tunate notion on the part of the Railroad Commission. We ?ire not responsible for tho execution of thc law. Wo hut] tio hand in tho appointment of the Com mission, and have had nothing todo will: its enactment of rates. The Observa agrees with us that the work of tho Com mission is not ns beneficial lo the people as it ought to bo, and in the same article seems to blame us for perceiving ant! j commenting on the failure. This i> j rather strange lo us. It seems itlixiout I to find fault with tho Editor of the Ix TKLLIGEXCER, und ns he does not diflel from tho Observer in his opinion of tin work of tho Commission, the Observa blames bim for agreeing with its views j We do not seo tho dilemma which np pears to tho Obterver, There is, to mn I mind, nothing inconsistent in our liavitif supported Gov. Thompson und lim Hail rom! Hill, and yet not liking the work o the Commission. Wo would bo obliger ! to tho Observer to como out Hally will its criticisms. We never deal in bininu j atkins ourselves, and wo huvo no iden I what tho mysterious sin our ncigbboi seems to have discovered can bo. Wt are too blunt to perceive it, and will bc delighted to havo it plumply stated The Editor of the INTELLIGENCER ii nover afraid to have his actions and lib views upon public matters plainly dis cussed. He may make mistakes, bul does not wish to hide them. Ile would rather lui vc them pointed out that he may shun them in tho futuro. Therefore, wt always like our friends when comment ing on us to say plainly what they wisl to convoy. We then havo the opportu nity to confess, or defend our position We do not like insinuations and hints becauso they are foreign to our mnnnci of dealing with public questions. Tuero foro, we hopo our Newberry friend will unburthen himself of the dilommt which appears to his mind, and wo asaun him we will help him to bring any poin bo may make before tho people by re publishiug his article. The Editor of tin INTELLIGENCER does not fear, but or the contrary desires the fullest investi galion of the reasons, the motives am the correctness of his views and actiom as "Delegate, Legislator and Editor." Despite tho politicians tho popula furore in favor of Tilden and Hendrick as the Democratic standard-bearers ii 1884 seems to increase, and it now seem that their nomination is reasonably ccr tain, if Tilden's health will permit hin to accept the nomination. There is i poetic justice in American politics whicl has frequently asserted itself in a market manner in the past, and all indication point now to another evidence of it Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks were fairl; elected President and Vice President o' the United Staten in 187C, and wen cheated out of tho offices. It will b< creditable to the sense of justice of ou people to right their wrong by givins them a' term now. This feeling wil control thousands of votes in their favor and their nomination would, we believe be tho strongest possible nomination foi the Democrats, lt would carry Ne?

The result of thc election in Ohio isa genuine Hiirprise lo both political pnrties. The defeat has fairly taken the breath away from the Republican", and they have not yet waked np sulficiently to timi out what hurt them. Their candi dates were strong men, popular with the people, and of irreproachable character. Tho Democratic candidate for Governor was prostrated during the greater por tion of tho canvass, and was severely attacked hy tho Republican candidates on the charge of having bought his nom ination, and ai the same limo tho harmo ny of tho party was distracted by fac tions ami bolts which seemed to render defcact inevitable. Tho Republicans counted certainly upon a majority o? from thirty to forty thousand for their State ticket, and a good majority in the Legislature. The Democrats all over the country wore accounting for why they would not carry Ohio, and had evidently made np their minds both to lose the State and to lose the Legislature, which incant the electiou ol a Republi can Senator in Mr. lVndletou'a place. The politicians were so sure that this was to bo the result that tho first dispatches which went out from the electiou indi cated thal the vote had resulted that way, und it WILS nut until Wednesday's noon dispatches that the telegraph began to convey the news that a genuine surprise had fallen upon both sides in Ohio. The fact that the Democrats got a ma jority on the Stat? ticket of over 10,000, and n good majority in the Legislature, very naturally dazed the Republicans with disappointment, and they cannot disguise tho fact that it has produced a panic in their ranks. Ou the other hand, the Democrats were equally sur prised. They had boen belittling the value of victory in Ohio until they actu ally got to thinking the election was of very little consequence, so that when they found that they had carried the Stute, at first, they attached no special consequence to tho victory. Upon re flection, however, it has inspirited the party, and gives great as.su rance for uext year. Gov. Hoadley is the first Demo crat who has ever been Governor of Ohio during a Presidential Election. Wc will, therefo e, for the first time have the iuilucnce and putrouago of the State government of Ohio in a Prcaidcn liai canvass. We have alway? come near carrying the State, and now it is pretty certaiu that wo will carry it. Thia means twenty-three votes for the Democratic candidate for President in 1884. Thc Color Uno In Brooklyn. ALBANY, N. Y., October 9.-Theresa W. P. Kiug a colored girl, was refused admission to the public school No. 5 of Prookiyu and was directed to attend colored school No. 1. She applied for a mandamus to compel Principal Galla gher to admit her to No. 5. Chief Jus tice Neilson of the City Court of Brook lyn, after full argument, refused the writ. The General Term of the City Court affirmed that decision. This morning the Court of Appeals afl?rmed the decis ions of the lower Courts. The two principal pointa argued were : First, that the exclusion was in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United Stales ; sec ond, that is was opposed to the civil rights Act of this State passed in 1873. The defendant contended that it violated neither, and that equal faculties for edu cation of a child were afforded in the colored schools, and consequently there was no discrimination against hor in as signing her to such colored school. - The barn and stable of Mr. 8.
