these two distinguished Senators should
oiroulato auch publications, and asked
Chandler to send him no moro docu?
ments, unless they hud the true ring.
Chandler said that his frank on these
documents was a forgery, but as the
whole liberal Republican movement was
a fraud, he was not surprised that those
who wore engaged in it resorted to forge?
ry. Morton also stated that tho uso of
his frank on these documents, or on any
such, was a fraud and a forgery. Tipton
road to a personal explanation, and said
that ho had been almost as unfortunate
aa Chandler. He had sent one of that

FIRE ON JAMES'ISLAND.-Hubcrnicht's
cottou mill ou Jumes' Island, with ma?

cotton seed, was entirely destro}'cd yes?
terday morning by fire. Tho loss is esti?

The Situation.
The situation in which the people of
the United States are placed is undenia?
bly a most oritioal one. A Presidential
election is to come off before the close
of the year-a Presidential election
which, when we ooma to refleot upon it
in all its bearings, is perhaps the most
important that has over been held. The
American people are used to hearing of
crises. Every blatant demagogue or
pot-bouse politician, when he wanted to
be particularly impressive, has talked
about a "crisis" for lot these many
years. There is no mistaking the fnot,
however, that this timo a genuine politi?
cal crisis ie upon the country-a crisis
that involves the settlement of questions
of the most profound interest tc them.
We havo never doubted, as we do not
now doubt, the loyalty of the musses of
the people to tho constitutional Govern?
ment established by tho fathers. Unhap?
pily, however, party has taken the pluce
of patriotism with too many of thom.
Occupied with the business and cares of
every-day life, the majority of people
are not unnaturally willing, in ordinary
times, to turu over to tho politicians the
management of public affairs. This
worked well enough whilst politician.?
were yet conscientious in tho discharge
of their duties and true to the people
whom they represented. But, as aucienl
Rome, pure as the administration of hei
affairs once WLH, tinnily saw her highes!
offices put up to barter, so things have
gone on from bad to worse with us, unti
the most flagrant violation of law or thc
Constitution ceases to cause surprise,
Unprincipled demagogues have not hesi
tated to avail themselves of the passion!
and prejudices of the late disastrous ci vi
war to draw closely tho bonds of party
and voudor tho people, as far as thej
could, oblivious tu their selfish purpose:
and ruinous policy.
Thus it huj come about that the noun
try is in a most deplorable condition
An enormous publio debt bas beet
j created, tho evidences of which the peo
pie see in tho heavy taxes which the;
have to pay, as well as in almost every
thing they eat, drink or wear. Not oui;
is this the case, but tho taxes impose*
upon them to meet tho interest on th
public dobt have been so arraugod ns t
exempt a preferred nud privileged chis
of bond-holders, and the tariff on foreig:
importations so regulated as to compc
the people of tho rest of the States t
pay a premium for Now England mani;
factures and Pennsylvania iron.
Venality und corruption prevail i
every department of the Govemmen
Once it was considered that the ofiiot
holder was but a publia servant whoc
duty it was to discharge his trust faitl
fully and conscientiously ; but now,
we are to judge from the many expo
ures of fraud and corruption in big
places, the accepted dootriue is that tl
office was made for the man, and is it t
be turned, honestly or dishonestly, t
the greatest personal profit. Th ci
things are bad enough, but they are ni
the worst phases of the present admin
etration of publio affairs. Tho const
tution has practically become a nullit
usurpation and tyranny are resorted
without compunction for personal ai
partisan purposes, and the tendency
strongly in the direction of consent?
tion and centralization.
Without tho constitution this (inver
ment is naught. It is the foundation
our national superstructure, the Ve
essence of our politioal system. T
strict observance of its provisions is
necessity for tho preservation of t
liberties of tho people. Yet it is noto:
nus that with thoso now in possession
the Government tho constitution is
dead letter. Infringements are uuhe
tatiugly made on the reserved rights
the States, and in a portion of the S tal
tho most outrageous usurpations a
persecutions are practiced by Fede
authorities for partisan and persoi
ends. A large portion of tho Unie
comprising States that onco export
more than all tho rost together, has 1
come little botter than a desolate was
through the acts of the uuscrupulc
rulers into whoso bauds tho managemi
of national affairs has fallen.
It is clear that there must be a spec
return to constitutional udmiuistrutit
or our republican liberty will bo 1
forever. Tho corruption, usurpation u
centralizing policy of thoso iu pow
leavo not tho slightest doubt of tb
For years, these things havo been
progress, until now nt lust tho Uuul c
test is about to toko place between
friends of tho old constitutional Gove
mont and tho ndvoontes and champ?
of tho new ordor of things. At tho
proachiug Presidential election, tho is
that lins boon joined will be decid
President Grant is, of all men, tho i
per representativo of thoso who desii
change in our system of Govern mt
for it has boen nuder Presidout Gra
administration that most of tho prog:
in corruption and despotism hus b
mado. Tho issue is a fair and sqi
ono, and ono which can neither be i
understood nor avoided. Tho Ameri
people, being thus vitally iuterestei
is to be hoped that, appreciating the
mentons nature of tho contest,
having tho power to control tho ret
they will sink party iu patriotism,
pronounce in behalf of honest, econt
cul and constitutional Government.
It would bo strange indued if, in ?
a crisis, a sufficient number of tho A
rican pcoplo did not array thomselve
the sido of honesty and freedom, tc
eure tho defeat of (Inuit, and tho <
tion of a statesman in his place,
will labor to restore tho Governinen
something like what it onco was.

PBOSPECTS OF COTTON PIIANTING.-The
New York Shipping and Commercial Liai,
of Saturday, the 24th ult., says:
Notwithstanding the protestations of a
portion of the press in the cotton States
against increasing the production of cot?
ton, on the plea thut a small crop will
bring more money than a large one,
there is reason to believe that the area of
land to be devoted to the fleecy staple the
ensuing season will bo materially en?
larged, under the stimulns afforded by
the present high prices, and the excep?
tional cheapness of provisions. High
prices rarely fail to increase production,
of which tho hog crop thia year aud last
affords a notable example, and therefore
those pragmatic writers who have been
telling us that tho Sooth will be richer
with 2.C00.000 or 3,000,000 bales than
with double the quantity, may as well
make up their minds that their thoories
will not bo acted upon thia year. The
idea of limiting production for tho pur?
pose of creating wealth is rather a re?
markable ono, since no sophistical fancies
can do away with the stubborn facts
which involve a reduction of capital pro?
portionate to the diminution in the
breadth of land and the amount of labor
used in growing cotton. Commerce can
no more be insensible to a reduction or
limitation of the world's aggregate pro?
duction of the great staple than it could
be insensible to the reduction of the
world's aggregate supply of gold and
silver. Nobody would seriously think of
maintaining, in the latter case, that the
loss of quantity would bo compensated
by tho enhancement of price; and it is
equally irrational to contend that the
enforced falling off in cotton production,
by reason of diminished capital and
labor, would be more than made up in
tho higher nominal price brought by
smaller crops. The commercial and in?
dustrial interests of tho world are all
bound up together as one great partner?
ship, and it ia mathematically impossible
that what thu wholo positively loses cuu
count as positivo gain for a particular
part. The material interests of tho
South, then, will be best subserved by
bringing up the production of cotton to
tho normal figure, and keeping it in a
progressive increase from year to year,
corresponding with the growth of the
world's wants in respect to cotton con?
sumption. And if, at the sume time, the
planters pay due attention to tho diver?
sification of industry, whereby their de?
pendence on other seotions for food may
bo sensibly lessened, they need have no
very grave fears about the production of
cotton greatly outrunning the consump?
tion.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.-The Su?
preme Court of Georgia has recently
announced the following decisiou:
"Where a factor makes advances to a
planter and takes u lien upou the grow?
ing crops under revised code, section
1,077, such advances aro in the nature of
purchase money, and the lien is there?
fore superior to the wife's title, where
the crop was sot apart to her as person?
alty under the homestead laws, after it
wa? made."
ANOTHER PniNTEn COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Savannah Netos says: "Wo regret to
learn of tho recent death, by suicide, in
Tuskoegee, Ala., of Mr. A. F. Hender?
son, well kuowu and popular among tho
typographical fraternity of this city, of
! which he was a member. Tho cause of
the rash act is not assigned, but is be?
lieved to bu of a private character, with
the particulars of which the public has
no concern."
Major Johnson, the United States
Marshal for South Carolina, is in tho
city, says tho Washington (D. C.) Na
tional Republican, of Tuesday. Ho yes?
terday teudcred his resignation to thu
President, but it bas not yet been ac?
cepted. Ho makes some complaint in
regard to military interference, in u po?
litical way, with his duties as Marshal,
and demands au investigation of tho
matter.
