The Roan are alreadj preparing to
capture the coming cetton crop on their
own term*. In a recent Interview, Mr.
J. II. McFadden, of lliiladclphia, the
larpeat cotton bujer in tliia country out
side of New York, »(d that the present
gear's cotton crop will ameuntto7,000,•
U00 bale*. * Within the last ten days be
hus received replies to detailed inquiries
trym his sixty trusty correspondents in
the cotton belt and only four of them
have given unfavorable reports. 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. —

The Journal and Review asks why we
,do not “discuss the question on its mep’
iu as h effects the welfare of the masrfOB
of the people, (especially our Southern
people) by reduced taxation, rather than
humbly defer te the opiniona of Messrs.
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. They are not ar-
rotted, carried before a partisan court
*ud persecuted with all the maliee hud
money of the “beet government the
’world ever rew." Their pockets are rob
bed by the Tariff but tbegr Jiberties are
not threatened. 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. With the lights The a 1

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

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

Rude mu|M of the threateued sections

» 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. The

A curious report reaches us fVoni pri-
rote sources in Washington to the effect
that tha colored leaders there, who are
constantly harping upon the fancied
wrongs endured by thoir race, have de
termined upom a gnand “Coloniiation”
scheme, looking to s eoatplete separa
tion from tlie white people hi ail their
relations. 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. It is tlie purpose of the schemers
to maintain this seerecy until they have
__ _ __ _ _ of action

for oolonixatioth V/bm this hss boei
done the whole adhexto is to be made

■mss meetings to be held la Washington
