To do this they have purchased an extensive piece of ground at Astoria, and laid ???.1t put as a park, with cottages on its avenues, Sj? a hotel, and other public and private conveni? ences. . The object of the association is to give . eneap country homea to the members of thc or^ariizatloa, by furnishing lots on the monthly - plan, and, rendering assistance to those who will built'. The park is beantlfully laid out in _ wide avenues, and many of the streets are *r "Veli shaded with trees. . -A St;"Louis paper announces the preva? lence there in official quarters of a soul-har Jf-jra,winff suspicion as to the integrity of the high ? -public functionary known as the city dog-killer. f.

She engaged, it appears, to lecture for the Young Men's Christian Association at Towa City on. the 16th instant. But these young Christians, apparently not comprehending, in their fervent piety, the nature of a contract, and for reasons which, whatever their nature, can be good for nothing, sent to Miss Olive a message that they had changed their mind, and didn't want the Logan lecture. Olive ie a peaceful name, but upon this occasiotvOllve showed herself belligerent, and, as we think, properly so. She sent a dispatch to the asso? ciation exceedingly plain in its terms, and by no means to be misunderstood. It was as fol? lows: "Y. IC C. A.-I shall lecture in your city on the 16th instant. Make your arrange? ments accordingly. I shall positively hold you to your contract.-Olive Logan." Upon this the Council Bluff Times sagaciously observes: "This looks to us as if the young lady was after j stamps." What a shrewd Council Bluffer. After stamps ! Why, of course she is after stamps. Does the Bluff Councillor think that Miss Logan travels hundreds of miles, and pays away her money for railway fares, just to lecture for the fun of the thing ? Alter stamps ! Pray, isn't everybody "after stamps" in his or her business, whatever it be ? We don't 6ee any disgrace lu it. Miss Logan's note proved to be sufficient. The young Christians have agreed to listen to the lecture, and to pay for it._ Are2 they "Sapless Politicians V That lively and generally well-posted paper, the New York Sun, says: "An attempt ls being made in South Caroli? na to oust from public office, and if possible also from the State, that numerous class of ad? venturers who barnacled themselves on the Republican party, and went South to plunder. The new movement was publicly Inaugurated in Charleston on the 16th instant, in connec? tion with electing delegates to a State Conven? tion, which meets in Columbia on the 15th proximo. But the inaugural was not auspi? cious, because when it came to where the mass assembled were to vote on choosing delegates, chicanery was resorted to, and torced upon the electors a clique of sapless politicians to act in the convention. This will never do if j the people of South Carolina are sincere in their endeavors to institute the needed reform. No great party can ever be successfully creat? ed in that State if the foundation of it is laid in those petty tricks, which of themselves create distrust." The Sun has been misinformed. No "cbi " canery was resorted to" in choosing dele? gates at the Reform Mass Meeting held in Charleston on the 16th instant; nor was "a '' clique of sapless politicians" forced upon the electors. The committee appointed "to suggest, for " the ratification of the meeting, .the names " of suitable persons to represent Charleston " County" in the State Convention, con? sisted of six white mea and three colored men. Of the white men, four were mer? chants aud two were?rfnecluuics. Thi3 committee reported the names of forty persons as delegates to the State Conven? tion. Of the forty^ eighteen were colored men. The twenty-two white men were by occupation as follows : Merchants, 12; me? chanics, 6; lawyers, 2; planters, 2. All the delegates are residents of the county, and have a substantial interest in securing a good government. Several of them are Northern men, by birth and education, now doing business in Charleston. The others represent the different nationalities of which our population is made up, as well as me? chanics, commerce and general trade. There is not a hack politician ou the list, nor is there upon it the name of one mau who has made politics a profession. The list of delegates as repo rted by the committee'was submitted to the Mass Meet? ing aud adopted. Any person present could have appealed from the decision of the chair, but this was not done, and we have the right to assume that th'j meeting had no cause for dissatisfaction. The movement is an honest one, with an honest purpose, and we tru3t that the Sun will give place to this contradiction of its statement that 1 'chicanery was resorted tc" at the Charleston Mass Meeting, and that "a " clique of sapless politicians'* was forced upou the people. A Big Cotton Crop. The New York Tribune, iu its usual forci? ble way, declares that from the time when so good a farmer as George Washington ?' had a hundred cow3 in his yards, and yet " bought butter for his table," the South has been a standing illustration of a system that seems to bring wealth, but in fact leads to penury. The South, ten years ago, had not learned that. national strength depends on doing many things well ; and she hwo yet to learn the omnipotence of concerted action and diversified industry. For instance, the last decade has proved conclusively that England will put no limit on the price she ts willang to pay for a certain amount of good American Upland. But the crop of 1869 has sensibly affected the market, and the Tribune fears that the increasing jfu ductioo of the staple may force down the price "to a point at which the production " of cotton by free labor becomes unprofita " ble. If in January and February the plant " ers of the South could have met in con " ventions, talked these matters over, and " agreed to plant less cotton and more of " something else, they would have controlled " the-price, and held it at a quarter of a dol " lar and over." The Tribune is doubtless sincere in its opinions and advice, but it would be easier for Mrs. Partingtou to sweep back the At? lantic with a mop than for a convention to bind its members to plant a limited quantity of our fleecy staple. As long as there is a prospect of high prices and high profits, ihe majority of the Southern farmers will put all their eggs in one basket, and flourish or pine by cotton alone. They may advise their neighbors to pitch a small crop. They may urge their friends to grow com. Bul ia their own mind they are resolved to make a big crop, aud take advautage, if they can, of the high rates which a short crop of cot? ton will ensure. Aud so it will be to the ead. The planters will contiaue to stake their all on cotton until they find that it does not pay to sell the staple cheap aud buy cora and cattle dear. During the last three years a number of the planters have been convinced that the paying policy is-first, meat and bread, and second, cottou. And the range of prices indicates that the South will have auother bitter lesaou this seasou. Cora has advanced io price while cotton de? clines, and already the plantera are pinched for means, and have scarcely a dollar to spare. We have a magnificent country. We can raise cattle aod breadstuff's for a living, aud cotton for a profit; but it will be a long time before the Southern farmer learns that it pays better to make corn than to buy it at SI 45 a bushel, while the costly cotton, held for months at a heavy expense, sells at 20 cents or less. For the whole country it is best that there Bb ould be a huge cotton crop and low prices, and we hope to see the production of the staple steadily increase. The pluuling in? terest is not the only interest in the United States. Upon the farms of the North and West, in every city and hamlet in the coun? try, live the consumers of cotton-the wear? ers of cotton goods. The consumers are the majority of the people; the planters are the minority. The lower the price of cotton goes, the better it is for the masses of the people. It rests with the planters so to ar? range their operations that they shall make a fair profit, and this fair profit, in our judg ment, can only be realized by diversifying crops-not with the idea of forcing up toe price of cotton by limiting the supply, but because it is cheaper to make corn and meat at home than to buy them in the marts of the West The difference between the Tribune and ourselves is just this: The Tribune desires to limit the production of American cotton, 60 that the Southern planter, may get a big price aud make a heavy profit. We desire to increase, as far as practicable, the yield of cotton, so that the consumers of cotton may buy it cheap instead of dear. At the same time, we urge the planters, for their own protection, to raise their most necessary supplies at home, so that what cotton is sold is clear profit, and is not spe??t in buying bread at two aud three prices. The Difference. R. K. Scott and C. J. Stoibrand, as citi? zens of South Carolina, have the right to be the boudsmeo of any malefactor. But one of these worthies is Governor of the State, and the other is Superintendent of the State Penitentiary, and it is not very seemly for them to become the bondsmeu of a treasury clerk who, by his owu confession, is guilty of forgery to the amount of $40,000. A pri? vate citizen may, without remark, do that which justly covers a high official with shame and disgrace. . _ ._ A FRIEND of the Marion Star, writing from Conwayboro', says: "I have just heard from " Georgetown to-day. The chances are "good for Dunn to get a majority in that " county. The voters * in Horry are all " right In this county Wicked Ben's pros " pects are gloomy in the extreme. Whit " temore will get a few votes. We have not " heard of a single white or colored man, " who lays any claim to character, honesty " or respectability, who will vote for him." We hope that every voter ia the district will tura out and vote for Captain Dunn. He is a Republican, but if elected, he will rep? resent, with fidelity and intelligence, the in? terests of the people. MIND you, there is no doubt about the culpability of Sampsou. The Ring declare that he made full confession. Perhaps bis release on bail (lt. K. Scott oueof the bonds? men) was the price of that confession, and the accompanying statement that Metcalf was his only accomplice. ONE Sampson, a clerk in the State Treas? urer's office, is charged with forgery and lodged in jail. He volunteers the informa? tion, that a maa named Metcalf is his only accomplice. He is bailed ia the sum of $3000. And Governor Scott is oue ut' his bondsmen. EXAMPLE is better than precept. Make money-honestly if you can, but make mouey. If detected, apply promptly to Gov ernor Scott for bail. ANY 3elf-convicted forgers who desire to be bailed out of jail, so that they may quiet? ly make their escape, will please nuke ap? plication immediately to Governor ll. K. Scott, Columbia, South Caromin. R. K. SCOTT is Governor of South Caroli? na, and one of the bondsmen of a confessed forger - one of the clerks iu the State Treasury._ The Eclectic. % The June number of The Eclectic has the following table of contents: Geological The? ory in Britain; tkf- Rarbarossa Legeud; Col? ors of the Doubic .-uars; Chatterton ; Blauche Treguier; Lectures ou thc Science of Reli? gion, by Max Muller, 1 ; The Princesse des Uwins; The Place where Light Dwelleth; At Rome; A Hindu Legend; Orientalism in Eu? ropean Industry; Better-Half Barter; Henry Ward Beecher.
