COLUMBIA. Thursday Morning, Jebruary 11,1875 ' Tlie Kltrtloa or -tnflg*). We have no fears of tbe result of any , so-called combinations between Independent Republicans of tboThird Gireuit and F. J. Moses, Jr., to eleot him Judge. There are abundant and good grounds npon which they should refuse to enter into auy ooalition with hi to, to serve him iu bis present straits, They should, therefore, be spared the taunt thrown out by the Union-Herald that they aro seeking to reward "po? litical treachery and official crime," because, however troo these charges against him may be, tbe particular spcoifioation given by the Union-Herald is not calculated to 6qhtain thorn. The Herald passes by all Moeeb' chiof fol? lies and crimes to brand him for the only act of his administration that good and fair men can commend. Whatever special purposes ho may have had in view, whatever motives may have swayed him iu tho act, the soleotion of Election Commissioners in equal numbers from tbe threo par? ties then soliciting tuo suilrugOH of tho people, on the 22d October, in itself considered was a just, proper aud ne? cessary step on his part. The Herald Bays it was the "greatest transfer of public offices from one parly to another ever seen in politics." The office of Election Commissioner should not be regarded aa political or conferred as the reward of party loyalty. No man who would accept it in order to subserve mere party purposes, is fit to hold it. j Nor in making appointmen ts to it should the Executive of a State prospeotively have"in* view, except to hold tbem in josfc equipoise, the po? litical or party predilections of bis ap? pointees. In thai aot we hold F. J. Moses, Jr., to have been blameless, and as it is the only one upon which we. can look; back with upproviif^we pteteat against its being stigmatised to his injury. Aa for the independent Republicans, and other Republicans, too, in the Third Circuit, and from all the Circuits in the State, thoy will, iu the election for Judge to-morrow, give Mosey & wide berth. They have no motive of a personal or public charac? ter to indnoe them to olotho, with judio|al robes, a man among tho least fitted in the State to wear them. Public opinion of all classes, parties and races has pointed out a gentleman of character, of ooufictions, of ability anaTexperienoe, of learning and cour? tesy, and of eminent judicial fairness ef mind, whom it prefers for this re? sponsible position. To meet the high requirements of tbe office and to con? form their octi n to the demands of intelligent pabtio opinion, the General Assembly will, to-morrow, we doubt not, elect Maj. A. J. Shaw, of Marion, to ihe office of Judge, made vacant by the death of the lamented .'Judge Green. Ulaclcvllte aaut Barawtll Again. The pestiferous question of Black ville vs.' Damwell has again been in? troduced into tho General Assembly by C. P. Leslie. The report of tbe committee on County offices aud of? ficers, in favor of establishing Blaok ville as tbe County seat, with a mi? nority roport against it, was made the special order yesterday, in tbe House of Representatives. A motion was made to strike out the enacting clause by Spencer, of Abbeville; whereupon the throttled np gas began to escape. Boeton, of N :?bcrry, led off in an elaborate harangue, in which be touched upon many subjects, bnt never tbe one under -< discussion. He rehearsed tho dreary and oft-tu Id tale of Kq Klux, Democrats, intimidation, fraud, &c, but never, that we could see, came to the (rei.l point. ? Ii was surprising to ne that be was not called to order, for intro?noing offensive and irrelevant matter into his speech. Why shall a man, upon a question of this charucter, be permitted to steer so far away from it, and tO poor ont tbe froth and fume of illiberal personali? ties? If members were kept strictly to the questions under discussion, tbey would soon run oqt, and a large sav? ing be made in time and money for legislative expenses. We have , no doabj^Jj^bs^ysome trickery or ?pecu latiom ...is ,?t tbo bottom of this agiUtfon^^e-?trust that it will be ts posed: -and the whole thing blown sk^}Tt?h.( In ^1869, the Logislato'raipesaed* bii/byvwhioij the Oohttftj. feaWwJsg bhkpgfi*!ttin fat& well*' whero it; Walooated sixty years ago; and.; \hs 'l^lnttli^?rW^oh was never ooceplaineA of uu.ilfthe' advent of Lrcsbst Controversy and dissatis? faction entfn'td' ifVo^^tsTemovaU The grand jury made a presentment againsti it.

Many objections might be mentioned, aud not ono good argu? ment oau bo product d iu favor of a change. - -, ^ ? ??-. Tin: Amlri AH USMi The report of the committee ap? pointed to investigate the charges made against Mr. Audrows, Seuator from Oraugeburg, ia made the special order in the Senate, to-day, at 12 30. Tbo majority report recommends bis expulsion; the minority concur in tbo statements as to the testimony and as to the ojnduct of the Senator, but ad? vise that a resolution of censure, rather than of ezpulsiou, bo passed by tho Senate. High Farming.?Iu uu article upon th:s subject in the Febrnary number of tho Rural Carolinian, by ?. W. Howard, of Georgia, ho lays down two conditions us inseparable from (he term, viz: u direct profit from tho crop and an indirool profit from the im? provement of tho soil. It necessitates that every acre should bo perfectly cultivated, but it is entirely consistent with the ownership of exteusive tracts, which may be kept ouoloned or pas? tured. The writor gives no interesting fact in connection with the fivo bale crop to the acre, producod by Mr. Wart ben, wl tleorgia: "Tfae'itmit of cotton, pr?duc from an acre pi ground has'not yet been ascertained.' Three yenni ago, while the Executive Committee of tho Geor? gia State Agricultural Society were arranging the premiuua list for the next year, it was' proposed by one of the members to offer a premium of 81,000 for the greatest prodaot of cot? ton from a single acre, the minimum to be five bales. The proposition was warmly debated. Sumo of the mem? bers contendod that the offer of such a premium would burlesquo the whole list; that it was impossible to produce five bales from au acre. When the vote was takou, there wan a tie, the easting vote was giveu by tbo writer, 1 tben acting us chairman of the com? mittee, in favor of olldring the pre? mium. At a sabseqneut meating of the committee, the subject was recon? sidered, and the premium was stricken 1 from Iho list. Curiously enough, at the next fair, Mr. Wartbi u produced ample and most satisfactory certificates to tbo fact of his having produced live bales of cotton from it single acre Altbougb the amount, of nxiuuro was greater, probably, than had ever pre? viously been applied to au uere of cot- ? ton, the i>rnnts we/e 6iill very Iar:< ?. It was tue opinion of Mr, Warthen and his neighbors that he Would hava 1 exceeded tbiB product during tho past year, but for a storm which oat eil Iiis crop, rednoiug it to two and one-hall hales per acre. There can be uo doubt that the immediate net proUts of au acre of heivily manured grass, in u favorable looaliiy, would exceed thtt of the one under consideration. But the cotton must, no considered as part of a necessary rotatiou. As a cleats iug crop, cottou is utu qualud. In a 1 very heavy manuring, the constituent* unused by-and unnui table to the cot? tou, would give ample food for the succeeding orop of oats and grass, und thus by indirection tho profits on tho cotton would bo the larger of the 1 two."
