siUTHKKN AGUICl'KTiritK.
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 >>?

questions of government d?.*pus*i?naL-iy

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?
York and Indiana, with strong chance:
lor Ohio. It would certainly be elected

TIM: OHIO I??.KCTION.
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.

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.
