Washington, August 13.?The Au?
gust returns of the Department of
Agriculture show an improvement in
the prospeots of the cotton crop in all
the large cotton States except Ala?
bama, in whioh during July the ave?
rage declined 2 per cent.; Virginia
also deolined 2 per cent.: Arkansas 7
per cent., and Tennessee 6 per cent.
The two States last named complain of
extensive and severe droughts. North
Carolina maintains her July average,
reporting a general prevalence of fine
conditions of growth; no insect depre?
dations, except lice in a few places in
Lincoln Oounty. The orop was twenty
days in advance?the Srat bloom being
on'July 31. South Carolina reports a
considerable improvement, while the
State of Georgia advances ber average
1 per cent., Mississippi 2 per cent, and
Florida *6 per cent. From several
Oonnties in these States come com?
plaints of looal drought, impoverish?
ing the growth of plants; in others,
heavy rains have caused an excessive
growth of weeds, with a tendenoy to
long joints and a small fruitage.
Caterpillars are reported in many lo?
calities, but they appear to be, gene?
rally, even later in their development
than the crops. Several correspond?
ents think they are too late to damage
any but top crops. In some Counties,
the bottom crops are poor, while the
middle orops are luxuriant. Where a
good stand was secured early, the orop
is generally reported as better thau for
years. Louisiana suffered severely
from freshets in the early part of the
season, reduping her July average to
73; the disastrous consequences were
?partly remedied by the improved con?
ditions of tho growth in July, but still
the crop is 17 per cent, below the ave?
rage. In some Parishes, as iu East
Feliciana, the working force of farm
animals was seriously crippled by the
oharbon, causing the crops to remain
an worked at critical periods. No seri?
ous insect injuries are foreshadowed,
and the tone of correspondence is
more hopeful. Texas increased her
high average, showing a general and
satisfactory improvement. Insects
were demonstrating in different quar?
ters, but were successfully met by
remedies. In Gonzales County, a
large red wasp was making war upon
the farmer enemies; while in Waller,
nooks of small birds, never before
seen, were very destructive upon them.
The State average was as follows: Vir?
ginia, 98 per cent, of an average orop;
North Carolina, 102; Sonth Caroliuo,
97; Georgia, 94; Florida, 102; Ala?
bama, 90; Mississippi, 89; Louisiana,
83; Texas, 105; Arkansas, 87; Tennes?
see, 83.

Probabilities?During Friday, over
New England, the pressure will in?
crease, with North to East winds and
partly cloudy and cool weather. Over
the South Atlantic and East Gulf States,
stationary or falling barometer, slight?
ly lower temperature, winds mostly
from the East and North, partly
cloudy weather and rain areas. Over
tho West Gulf States, lower barometer,
slight ohanges of temperature, variable
wiuds and partly cloudy weather, with
possibly raiu areas. Over Tennessee
nnd the Ohio valley, slightly lower ba?
rometer aud temperature, North uud
East winds, partly cloudy weather, and
iu the former possibly light rain.
The opinion of the Attorney-Gene?
ral, that the United States have exclu?
sive jurisdsotion over the oemeterics,
concludes: "Bat if, as is usually the
case, the State, in making the cession
or in giving its consent to the pur?
chase, reserved the right to serve and
execute its process upon the land, or
annexed any other like oondition, it
has been held that the acceptance of a
cession with this reservation amounts
? to an agreement on the part of the
United States to permit the free exer
oiee of such process as being quoad hoe
its own process, and upon any other
construction, the oession would be nu?
gatory and void.

F el low-citizens i I offer myself ay
^luOhJute i<* ^ou'tfVntfes in/tlie elecf}
^fpj^wTjich tfclap pgace ju- November
next, to neleet u member ot Congress
for_tbie Congressional District,
i \U*p;orableMis'the condition of tbe
State, I tbiuk you will agree witb me
that a Statu patty organization does
not promise ns relief. In tbe whole
State, the Republican party is in a
majority, although that majority is
undoubtedly enormously exaggerated.
But, still, un organized party opposi?
tion oriugs tbe Republioan party to
the support of its-candidates -in every
portion of the State, aud thus whero
we aro locally strong, we are not al?
lowed simply to tight our own battles,
but ure foroed iuto confliat with the
whole strength of the Republican
organization. Worse still, in the pre?
sent condition of national parties, a
State party organization is sure to be
misrepresented as lining an opposition,
not to tbe iniquitous administration of
tho Republican party in South Caro?
lina, but as an opposition to tho Re?
publioan party of the Union, and espe?
cially to the administration of General
Grant, and the prejudices and power
of the Federal Government are thus
enlisted against us. Now, I am per?
fectly safe id Haying that, at present,
to tbe people of this State, Federal
politics are obsolete. Their one-ab?
sorbing, vital interest is the honest
administration of the State Govern?
ment, and they ask for power only so
far us events have proved that power
in tbe bunds of tbe property-holders
and tax-payers of the Statu is abso?
lutely necessary to secure such honest
administration. And they ucc.l rep?
resentation in Washington, to be
heard before the Congress of the na?
tion and by tbe President, in order
tbut the truth as to their condition and
feelings should be known; in order
that the influence of the General Go
vernmeut shall not be used against
them, in entire misconception of their
sentiment and tbeir purpose. This
representation has been purposely aud
pertinaciously denied us. Take your
own Congressional District as an illus?
tration. Whatever may be tbe strength
of tho Republican party iu the whole
State, or iu other portions of tho State,
here certainly they are uot a majority.
That there are some Republicans, I
admit?some of them selected without
reference to party affiliations?holding
County offices aud seats in the Legis?
lature, and they have proved useful
aud faithful officers. This condition
of things was well known to the Re?
publican Legisluturo, when last wiuter
it undertook the re-districting of the
State. What did it do? The Act of
Congress of 1862 required that each
Congrcsiouul District should be com?
posed of "contiguous territory." So
wheu they bad grouped together
Oconee, Pickecs, Anderson, Abbeville,
Laureus and Newberry, iu which a
reasonable effort would have secured
tho people such a representative as
they roully desired, they added Rich
land, which is not "contiguous terri?
tory;" which touches the rest of the
Distriot at no one point, simply and
only because Rioblund was eutirely in
tho bauds of the Republican party,
and experience had shown that any
nnmber of Republican votes could be
manufactured to order in that County
to moet the requirements of a con?
tested election. This Congressional
District bos, therefore, for the ex?
press purpose of excluding you from
representation, been constructed in
deliberate aud fraudulent violation of
the law of the land. If there were no
other issue, this is ono which you
ought to make iu vindication of the
supromest right which belongs t > free
men, and oue in whiob you oan ap?
peal from the narrow uud selfish
tyranny of the Republican party of tho
State to the justice and to tho lawful
authority of the Republican party of
the Uuion.
But there are other reasons why you
should earnestly endeavor to secure for
yourselves u fitting representation.
The section of tho State iu which we
live and with which our fortuues are
identified in the only ono in whiob
there is marked evidence of material
improvement. Wo havo a homogene?
ous population, the advantages of our
soil aud elimuto offer sure, if slow,
inducements to immigration, our po?
pulation is increasing, und tho open?
ing of uow channels of communication
is fast briugiug this up-couutry, hither?
to so isolated, into direct relations
with our neighbors West and North.
Old party issues aro fast dying out.
Those which aro .shaping themselves
in the future uro financial uud indus?
trial questions, in which we, us KU
almost exclusively agricultural country
? especially a country of small farm
ors?aro directly interested. Wo do
not wunt as representatives political
adventurers, foreign or native. We
want men owning our own soil, bound
to ns by ties of neighborhood and
blood?who know us, our ways and
our interests. Believing this; believ?
ing that nothing is to bo gained by
party organization and complicated
issues; believing that if anything is to
be accomplished some one man must
begin and bear the burden of the con?
test, I come beforo you simply as ono
citizen asking of bis fellow citizens
tbeir confidence and support. Tbo
argument I wish to make to you I can?
not make in this shape without weary?
ing your patience. I will speak to you
and say what I have to uay, face to
face, as soon as I can mako my arrange?
ments to commence this oauvass. In
tho meantime, I submit myself to your
consideration, merely staling the three
following propositions as nu outline of
the ground I shall occupy:
First.?With the Republican party
of the Union, I have no controversy. I
do not belong to it, but the issues
upon which wo hare differed bovo
Oar misfortune hoe been that toil '
groat party, with: its. irnmaa?a powen
and its heavy responsibility, never
comprehended the 'true' temper or the
real condition ,ol tlie- ?outb,( for ihp
simple reason that since the irar the
South has never besot represented in
the councils of the nation., I think- ,
that the polioy of reconstruction was j
harsh und.unwise. I doubt if, to-day,
any thoughtful Republican thinks 1
otherwise, i Bat it in not Bnrptiai?g or j
uunatural that it obould have been sp.
At any rate, what has been done, <Jas
been done. We have livW?ithro?gb
it. What we bavo thi? righrMaBk cf
the Republican pirty to??jijH, that
what wo honestly are^, thai WVUhall be
represented at.Washingt^jaf to fie. v If
wo have booomo RopuDlicana, tben.by
nil means let oar .representative Kfr a
Republican. If we have not, then let
the Republican party of the' Union
refuse to strengthen the bands of "a
faction in the State, whioh, for corrupt
purposes and by fraudulent means,
stifles the true voice of the State,
betrays its true interests and misrepre?
sents its real sentiment. This State
cannot be redeemed from the hideous
misrule under which it is perishing,
except by the co operation of the
General Government with those who
represent, really, its property, its in?
telligence and its character. And these
two powers will never understand each
other until wo have at Washington
just such complete and houeat repre?
sentation as we are entitled to in a fair
election; and it is the interest of the
national Republican party, and of the
whole country, no less than ours, that
this Bbould be secured.
Second.?I have no war to make upon
Gen. Grant's administration. I do not
know Gen. Grant. I have not been
iu| Washington since he has been Pre?
sident. But I know this, that between
you and the national polioy of Gen.
Grant, foreign or domestic, there is
not a single issue to make you eno
I mior. So absorbed have .we been in
our own miserable condition, that
most of thoso issues have passed as
eutirely disregarded, and upon none
of them is there room for more than
an amicable and honest difference of
public opinion. The difficulty between
Gen. Grant and yourselves is precisely
the difficulty between the State and
the national Republican party. A cor?
rupt oligarchy, wbo have got posses?
sion of the offices of the State, and
who, so far, have successfully held
control of the mass of ignorant voters
who compose the majority, have inter
posod between you and him. He is
never allowed to hear tho truth. Pri?
vate whimperings and public misrepro
seututiun color and distort every fact
before it reaches him. And I can woll
understand bow, with the best inten?
tions, an overburdened President is
forced to rely on official representa?
tion, which, under our political sys?
tem, aro almost authoritative. Our
official representation in Washington
is but a part of the sumo machinery
by which the State is governed. Se?
nators aud members are made by the
same power which makes venal mem?
bers of tho Legislature and defaulting
County Treasurers, and the sumo in?
fluence which corrupts the ballot-box
at home closes the door of the White
House to you at the capital. Your
position towards the administration
ought to be one not of pronounced anta?
gonism, but of perfect independence.
Whoever represents you ought to be
free to give to Gen. Orant's adminis?
tration a cordial support when he be?
lieves it right, and a temperate and re?
spectful opposition when he believes it
wrong. Au I said before, the political
issues which aro coming are not tinc?
tured with the bitterness of the past,
and should be dealt with on their own
merits. It is, of course, desirable that
the President should feel and manifest
a kiuder sympathy with the dis?
tressed condition of the State, and
that be should be disabused of the im
pressious so persistently and mali?
ciously made, that there is an incura?
ble personal hostility to him among
the people of this State. Bat this you
never can accomplish, uuless you can
secure a Atting representation :n Wash?
ington.
Thuid.-^-Lastly, I refuse to acknow?
ledge ihe Republican party, as it calls
itself, of South Carolin i, as the repre?
sentative either of the people of the
State or of tho Repabltcun party of
the nation. It is simply the govern?
ment of a compact and adroit close
corporation of oliicc-holdors. I do
uot propose to denounce them. Abuse
is, iu my opinion, a very inefficient
weapon; ami besides, if I wishod, I
con id bud no language of such vehe?
ment deunuciatiou us tho terms in
which they spenk of each oiher. If
their present diflerouccs continue, we
shall soon kuow what they are from
themselves, I shall leave them to
write each other's epitaphs. Bat the
result of their government, confessed
by themselves and open to the
world, is before us. The iudustry of
the State paralyzed, its oredit de?
stroyed, its people demoralized, its
character degraded. With all this, we
have had nothing to do. We have
boeu excluded from power or place,
und our only privilege has been to en?
dure. Opposition to them is neither
opposition to the interests of the peo?
ple of the .State, nor to the Federal
Administration, nor to the national
party wbicii coutrols the Government,
but simply tho duty of all men wbo
believe that honesty and decency are
tho necessary uocompaniments of well
ordered government. I believe that
there ure men iu tho party wbo are
mortified and diegnsted at its reckless
I aud ruinous policy; but as jet they
have given no evidence of either their
power or resolution to reform it. Aud
surely no sincere and substantial re?
form can be inaugurated by the delibe?
rate and fraudulent violation of the
law la 0^e^!Jg'lUe;GoQgre88]ea|I Dis?

neither Jsharefbar SatecetitB, renepibor
opinions, nor represent oar character.
I believe thet it is in your power, by
a vlgoroqg.aad united effort, to begin
the deliverance of the State. Even if
defeated now, you can prepare the way
for future and certain success. It may
very possibly be that I am not the
most fitting man to attempt to lead
yon. If, after the movement is com?
menced, you can find a better leader,
take him, and I will be content to fol?
low. In the meantime, I shall name
as soon as possible the times and
places where Ii will address you, and I
will be glad of the aid and support of
any, especially among the young men
of the Congressional District, who may
feel inclined to give me their confi?
dence and assistance.
