I.KIICNI'KK'H squib about the renomina tion of Tilden and Hendricks, says : Tho liegister bears no ill w ill to tho An derson iNTKI.I.UiKNi'KK, but, oh .tho con trary, has always recognized it as ono of its ablest exchanges. A mern diiroronee of opinion expressed in no intentional terms of personal discourtesy ought not lo he so .-tri"tly construed; or to bo re garded as an evidence of animosity. Tho iNTIil.t.lOKNCKH is liol quick to take exception, nor does it treasure any little incident that may cross its pathway in a carual manner. The statement of tho Register is perfectly satisfactory, Wo will agrco lo disagree as to Tilden and Hendricks. In most public mutters tho two pupers ure in accord. A NOHTIIKIIN VIEW UV COTTON. Tho Atlanta Constitution has recently been luging the Souther planters ti? shorten tholr cotton crops ami to extend theil corn, grain, garden and pasture acreago, in order to keep tho South's moiioy at homo f.nd euablo coir people to become independent and rich. This is good advice, but it does not suit* Now York mid other Northern interests, llenen the New York Kvcning Po.it writes un editorial to bruce up thu cotton plan ters and help keep up a large cotton acreago, w hich means a continuation of largo pro tl ts to the North and West out of .Southern foolishness. The Fhst ill the course of ita article elucidates it? position on thu mattel- thus : "What is ?lirions about all this as n piece of advice coining from a writer who professes to understand business and ad dressed to business men, is that it con tains no calculation of what it costs the .South to import its provisions, and no comparison between tho value of a urop of corn and ii crop id' colton raised on the same acreage. \\ hut her it pays a South ern farmer hotter to grow colton of course depends partit' on what he has to pay for his corn, and not, us the Const it H tion scorns lo think, wholly on what ho gets Tor his colton. If au aero ol colton brings Shrtl in a year of moderate crops, and tho com which would have grown on it can bu bought for S'il), il would ho folly to grow lite corn, because in years oT large cropH the cotton only brings $!K) pr$80. In oilier words, a fariner has to keep his accounts like other pcoplo if hu wishes to avoid bankruptcy or pover ty. He must grow w hat he gota nitral for, ami buy what lie can buy tor less than he could ra i so it for. And this calculation of tho comparative merits ol'cotton and corn us a crop of course every funner can and must make Tor himself, and probably does make for himself, and acts on the result, oven after making due allowance for the I ntl lieu ce ol' habit in keeping men in old ruts." In this tho I'ost allows a groat lack oj acquaintance with Southern agriculture. There are very lbw lands in tho South that will make two live hundred pound bales of cotton to tho aero, and lt will tako this lunch or moro to realizo th? SlOo per aero of which tho Post speaks Them are not oven a groat many acre! which will produco ono 500 pound bab to tho aero. Tho nvoruge yield of cottoi lands in this State and Georgia is aboil1 one bale to three acres, so that cotton in stead of paying $100 per acre in a good year, averages something like$l7, so thai it would take near six aries instead ol ono to come up to tho Post's ligures. If i man has land that will mako ovor fly? hundred pounds of lint cotton to Hu acre, it will certainly pay Mm to plant il in cotton.- The cost ol cultivating un aero which will mako two halos of cot ton, is no moro than that of cultivating V? J acre which makes one-third of a bale, oxcept for picking. Tho trouble with thc averoge cotton crop in tho South ls, thal lt costs very near all that it sells for to mako it and leaves very little, In most eases nothing, for tho pro tit of the pro ducer. Tho glentor proportion of thc coat of production goos out of thc State, so that nnnuallv tho Stato ls drained ol millions of dollars which leavo un never to como back again. For instance, tho all cotton fanner has to buy his agrlcul tural implements. They aro principally made out of tho State. He haa to buy bin fertilizors. Much of thom ia uluo made outside of tho State, and outsiders own considerable proportion of tho stocks of tho other companies, so that tho fertil izers sold boro aro a suurco of profit out of the State. He bus to buy bia moat, Hour, eorn and other supplies, which como from outsido of tbe State. Heneo tho cotton planter, tn a large lnoasuro, contribute? to the prosperity of othor sections and retains but a small propor tion of tho income at homo. On ibo other hnnd, tho man who planta corn, ?mall grain and vegetables, and who raises meat?, stock and fruits, pays out very little, and koopa tho most of that ut homo. Ho buys his agricultural imple ments mostly from abroad, and usos n small amount; of fertilizers, which out siders got some benefits from, but tho balance of exponses and profits are kept at borne. Kx por lenco teaches that tho individual who reinos his own supplice prospers most. Calculations may look otherwise, but practice proves the fact. Tho Post is not correct in another particu lar. If tho cotton crop from an acre la worth $100 and tue corn crop from it only $30, it docs not prove that tho cotton is the most profl table crop to tho grower, for the expense of production must bo taken into account. The cotton farmer would have to buy the corn and then pay tho other expenses of producing tho cot ton besides, until ho reaches the point of raising cotton only as a surplus crop. Thus, taking the proportion given by tho Post aa approximate, tho cotton farmer would have to pay out hie hundred dol lars for corn, meat, flour, Ac, to support himself and his stock, and then he would in addition havo to pay for his fertilizers, hui labor and other oxpensea incident to o>tton, so that by tho time he gola through, his cotton money will bo more than consumed. It may be said that - the corn planter would bo in the samo con? dillon, but then no person urges an ex clusivo corn eulture. What tho South needs la for every man to make bi? bread *nd meat at home ; have plenty of milk and butter, raise' vegetables, fruits and poultry, and occasionally have a col?, and cattle to soil. Then after ho has done this tho more cotton bo can mako, the J butter it will be, but let cotton bo 111sur plus crop. ICaiso ovcrylhing at home that eau bc raisod bore. Hood aa little money as possible out of the .State, and sell as much as possible to bring money ju. Kvcry man should study to conform bis farm operations to this principle, THIS Ol.I) TICKET. The ?Xetvs nn>l L'un rici says: "Thc'old ticket' of Tilden and Hen dricks is looming up again. KOSH Kelly will condescend lo work for it, if nomi nated, Hendricks in not averse to try again. Then too lhere is ?real rovoreiico ho Tilden'* biain. and for hi" har* I which bo never taps freely except lor bis own benefit. The tarin question is bother- ? .. '?ni to pusillanimous Democrats, and so . il i- hinted ?hal, t.living itnucolisid' ration with another, ibu heit thing lo do i? to , nominate. Randall for Speaker, and, next I year, pul op tho old iii kel.' Poi hap- these gooil people think that a revision >,( par ly lines and a liquefaction ortho 'Solid South' aro ileura!,lo. 'J In s will uccoin pl ?sh both purpo.-?s by the election of Uanda!! and the nomination ?d' Tilden." We do not agree with our Charleston contemporary. The election of Randall ax speaker would doubtlc.sHlo.sn us many vote-., hut it won! 1 with equal certainty gain us nome votes, though wo think hardly as many as we would loso, lt would probably make very little diU~ftr ence in the Presidential campaign. Wo Should regret to see him mudo Speaker liecause we desire to soo a turill' reform, and this cannot bu accomplished nor even assisted hy making a l'enusyl vania pro; teclionist .Speaker. Tlio turill' question, in our opinion, will not he permitted to break up the Democratic party whichever way tho issue may bu decided. Mr. Randall is personally respected through the South. He hits stood by tun Southern people when they needed friends, and al a time that il cont him votes at home to do it, and we do not behove our people will object to his i lection UM much as they would to the election of any other pro tectionist, They are not hostile to Ran dall, hut to undue protection which 1m Happens lo represent. Neither would tho renomination of the old ticket provo dis astrous here. Mr. Tilden is not the .South'? favorite, hut wo boliovo thc Southern people ** aro Democrats from principle, and md simply forspoils. Mr. Tilden represents Imo Democratic prin ciples, is an aldo man, bios shown him self a true reformer, was once ol noted President hut was cheated out of thu OIHco and boro himself extremely well and honorably under those trying cir uuniMtanceM. Il is only prejudice which could fail to admiro those qualities. Thorn is no danger of tho solid South breaking up over tlx* turill' in national politics, for such a break would relegate UH to tho tender mercies of tho Republi cans or of tho Independent* in our State govern incuts. The South is Democratic and ia obliged to stay so in self d?fonce. If tim Democrats woro to declare squarely for protection, tho South would voto Ibo ticket, for tho Republican ticket will bu protection also. Therefore, we would have either to take tho protection Demo crats, or tho protection Republicans. There is no doubt that our people would take tho protection Democrats. lt is, therefore, no uso for us to bu making threats which we cannot alford to carry out. Wu might have to eat u dish of crow for our rashness. Wi-should devote our energies to iirKtiinn tho merits of our position and leave off tho throats. We would stand a bettor chance of carrying our point. THAT 1>I I.EM MA. Tho Newberry Observer uncovers the dilemma which it hinted the editor of thc iNTKI.I.liiKNOKlt was in, as follows : ? Tho gentlomau referred to last week as del?galo, legislator and editor ls Hon. K, li. Murray, of Anderson. Wu were mia taken in saying that bo nomi nut od Uov, 1 Thompson. He was, however, his zeal I ons supporter bulolo (ho nominating , convention. He does not seo the dilonv inn, although ho comes vory near expos - lng lt himself whoo ho nays, speaking ol i tho ComiiiisHion Hill : "lt represented , his judgment then, and if prop?tly exe outed would have II?H approval now.' 1 If not "nroporly executed,': whoso faull t ls it? Tho i Jo vernor's only, who up pointed the mon to execute il. So thal I Mr. Murray's "Judgment" was evidently in fault, eithor in tho support of Hov : Thompson, or in tho matter of tho Rall T road Commission bill. Either tho law h L wrong itsolf, or tho chief executive ls un ' r.1.1.' tO ?.?V? it "prOpC-Tiy u?mum. Wi believe that tho elliot executive ls not at ' much at fault aa tho law ls. We wen opposed to tho bill from tho bcglnniug. Thom wero no insinuations in our arti cle ; but thoro woro throo plain .state ments of facts.-or what wore suppos?e' at tho limo to bu facts-ono of thom turin out to "io a mistake. , did not ovoti "insinuate" that Mr. Murray was tlu Corson reforrod to : but left him to roven ls own identity, if ho should choose lt i do no, feeling suro that ho would. For speaking of Mr. Murray HO jd.linly wo feel that Homo reason in diio him -, une wo state the reason frankly. Wounder stand thut ho ia to bo ti candidato foi nomination to Congress from this Dis . trict, and without taking sides for oi agaliiBt him, wo think it right and pronoi to discuss his record for Bt?tesniansni] and political sagacity. This Is not nu apology for commun ting on hi? record ot tho Commission Rill, for wo huvo tlu right to diseiis? the record of Statu Legis lators. Mr. Murray has tho good sense to know thin, for ho is a nowupaper man hlniHolf- and ho does not object to lt and wo fool sure that ho will not objoct lt a fair criticism of his cou mu aa a legisla tor on any public question. Any critiuisn wo may make of lils record, or that o any public olllcor, shall bo fair; at leosl lt Khali bo our wish and our purposo tc make it so. Tho Observer says that it did not him that wo were tho person it reforrod to but loft it to us to reveal our own identi ty. It is true that our contemporary dill not call our name, but it quoted an edi' torlal from the INTKLLTOKNCXR. It wai not a hint, but a diront arraignment We did not objoct to it, but wantod tin Obsencr to roveal tho dilemma lt bad dis covered. It has complied, ano wo ari not surprised at either tho dilemma sta tod or tho reason for ita publication bj the Observer. To begin with, we woulc say that we thought Oov. Thompson tin boat available man for tho Governorshli at the tim? of tho nominating oon vantlon and have nb reason to regret that opinion This, bowe vor, doos not bind us to ap provo all of his official acta. Tho editoi of tho I M K i.i.in ES ." Kn trios to dlaUngulsl between the public acta of even it friends, and doos not hesitate to approvi or criticise, as ita judgment may direct We wero opposed to leaving the appoint mont of Railroad Commissioners to tin Governor, and we think tho Govcrnor'i appointment has boon in tho main un fortunate. This, howover, does no provo that ho is not a good Governor His appointees huvo been honorable upright men, and if we aro correct tba they bavo not proven oftlolont, it doa not show Gov. Thompson to bo an inafll oient Executive. Hts whole administra tion must bo reviewed to roach a detor ruination of this question, and when si reviewed it will be seen that hts admin istration hi aa strong, as able and as ac oeptable as any the State has had sino 1876. It is true ba bas bad tho appoint mont of the Railroad Commission, bu any other Governor would bav* been ai liable to make mistakes a* Oov. Thomp son in appointing the Commission. Th Commissioners were necessarily nev men, without experience, sud lt Ts no surprising that they bavo made mistakes Tho only thing is, wo think, they bav< ?nade loo ninny mistake*, and rather damaged than bonef?tlcd the people. They will, however, doubtless improve with ex [ter lonee. If they do not, lt will be the duty of tho Legislature to control them l>v proper legislation. Ii seems to us, therefore, that tho tibterrcr't dilemma ia not in ii eli of a dilemma after all As to thi- reason for th'-? criticism assigned by tho OttHTicr, wo uro somewhat amused. Tile i'd 11. ir of tim IMKI.I IM:MI:II hat not \ announced himself as a c.widhlmo for Congress, nor asked any man to support him for such a position, l.iko most other mon in tho District ho miglil be induced to accept Kiieh it nf <m i nut i? >n without , much trouble, mid would, ol' course, esteem it a very b|j*li complin . lil : but tho Ot, . ... bavg me Very l.ir. frdt'i home to i riticisu public no n ti,.,' it pi - .!.?>o.s to neither luke sides for ur against.

Eil ?tor Anderson Intiltiijencer : It would bc diOlcitll, Mr. Editor, in this enlightened age lo lind any ono bold and foolish enough to deny lim guitorttl prop osition that education of tho I-*????t -icrt, to thu propor amount ano in thc right way, is a priceless boon lo any free people, but Ibero ure infinite diffcrciuros of opinion as to quautity und method. Many and various aro tuo dissertations to be found in almost ovory issue of every respoeta blo journal-some wise and practical, sumo crudo and undigested, but ?ll show lug Ibu wide, almost universal, interest taken in tho subject. Now boro do we find tho mattel- moro generally discussed than in tho Southern Stales, for nowhere ie the solution of the question of such vital importance, lil this, au ill every thing olio, does tho vexed question of ibo "Relation of (lio Ranos" confront us. and to this branch of the subject I shall run imc myself. There aro in tho South u lew wno aro directly opposed to tho education of tho negro-wno seo, with jealous distrust, tho negro otfored those advantages which tboy uro conscious of having themselves fatally neglected, and who would dwarf tho intellectual growth of the negro in order that they may re tain a certain comparativo elevation. To such as those I have nothing tn say. Oihors, u far more respectable chis??, poiiit to our criminal docks and exclaim, al most exultingly, "See them ! Soo your edu cated negro! seo him tried for forger'/," Sic. Ono would think that these' mon regard certain crimes as tho prerogative of tho white race, and biamo Education for Interfering with their vested rights. There aro few crimes known to the law which aro not the result of antecedent civilization, and tho argument, or rather the snour, applies willi equal turco to all mon of every tdindo of color. The most ardent advocate of Education cannot claim that lt will ?radicale innate deprav ity, but only that it sometimes will check, and ot ton will modify its manifes tation : but to do even this', it must bo carried fur beyond tho point reached by moat of thoso criminals, so triumphantly held up as solomn warnings, and falsely called-"oduoated." Another class thorn ls, and ono still more respectable, who doubt, or profoss to doubt, the "capacity of tho negro to attain any high degree of intellectual culturo," and who uro unwilling to do anything to that end until their doubts are satisfactorily sci voil.
