In a recent Interview, Mr. J. II.

As an addition'll factor of depromon he s*atea that stock on hand is now 400,000 bales iu excess pt' what it wss at this time last year. From a careful examhation of our exchange* we arc convinced that the crop will be nhort, notwithstanding the increased atea under cultivation. The drought has been general throughout the cotton belt, and now rust and the cater* pillar are completing the disastrous work. The cotton worm hss appeared in lurge number* in Texas, Alabama, Gcor* gia, on the sea coast of this State, and wo may expect their early appearance in - other localities. — ThO Aiken Jourtftl and Review if last Week says thut“THK PKOPLK hss little if any opinion of its own on the Tariff question.” Our cotemporary is mistaken, we suppose, because we have not followed its example in parading our Momthljr Boport of the Affrlcmt- asarnl Dopartamwmt.

Tillmin aud Dibble, because those gen* t'emon are supposed to know more on ibis subject than Tttx 1'EOrt.e.” What propriety is there iu the duenssion of the “merits” of a question where there is no difference of opinion among our people on the said “merits.” We do not ‘ hum- My defer to the opinions of Messrs. Till- him aud Dibble’’ or anybody else, nor have we ever said that they “know more on this subjeet” than wo do, although there would be no uutruth iu such an admission. The Journal and Review docs not un dents ud our position. The supreme question with us is the election of a Democratic President, and we are will- log te fight for that on the platform that most rationally promises success. The Journal and Revi w may be abletospec- tlate in po'itical futures but we are not. Iu readers arc exempt from the persecu tion* to which our people are subjected after every election.

Until * Democratic Prerideut is elected and tlie Radical nests where three conspiracies are hatched are broken up the redemption of our people will not be complete.

The t’olp- uiqttion League are said to contemplate selecting iu this State the whole section lying between the Kdisto end Savannah Rivera and extending from thu sen to Aiken county, buying up the lands and encouraging negroes to emigrate thither from all parts of the country as fast ns possible, sod by making ths situation dis agreeable for the white residents, force them to sell out their property to the colored strangers and seek homes vi e-^blu stock.

It has been represented in Wash ingtrn that the negrees already own s great deal of landed property in thix part of the State, and as the soil js fertile aud the climate all that the moat fastidious darkey ooukl desire, it is thought by many of the leaders of the movement that no better starting point for the pro posed coluuisatiou could be found tu Amern-g. It U claimed that in the course of time utlicr territory iu this State can be absorbed, and that the whites will ujj Innately be crowded out by the con- , increasing throng of blacks, so that South Carolina will ultimately be converted into s Black Republic. The western part of ths ladiau Terri tory, and s portion of Texas bounded on the south by The tributaries of the Red River, are sis i regarded with covetous eye* by some of the leaders of the colo» nisition movement. The principal ob* jeetlon to this territory is that a great deel of the land is uot fertile and the cost of transportation is heavy. Some of the members of the League also advoerte the Hctllciuent of a colony along the Ya- xoo River in Mississippi, but the South Carolina project is said to have found more favor thau any other that has been suggested.

The » hole scheme has doubtless been hatched by the “leaders,” as they are called, who have lived by their wits ever since the war, and who see in a “colonisation ’ movement a fine chance to fleece their ignorant and confiding dupes. The idea of the blacks being able to “crowd out” the whites from one of the most fertile sections of South Carolina is, of course, a wild absurdity, worthy the intelligence that conceived and car ried out the memorable Aror folly.

Thb idea, which was first broached in the winter of 1877, has been steadily gaining strength of late. Sens- tor Butler's recent speech at Marion, it is said, has added ftiei to the fire, aud has brought many leading colored men into the merereent who have hitherto held aloof. Il is even stated that Fred. Douglass, who ciaims tha foremost place among bis race in Ameriea, has given bis approval to the scheme, and that be wiU lend his efforts to its reocessAii ac complish meat. However all this may be, it is certain that a secret colored or- {■mutation has hern formed in Washing ton which hss for its sole object the Col onisation of the negroes in certain sec tions of the South tnd in other parts of the oonatry. Many of the members of this organisation now hold Government offices and are oefcsted heartily in the work. The meetings of tho Drejtoe are held in out oi thff way places in Wash, tngton and ate conducted with great se crecy.
