Politics—Salaries—Crop Situation—Im
porta of 1874.
Macon, Jane >5th v 1874
Editor Albtny News :
THE POLITICAL POT SIMMERING.
.We are beginning.to bear of candidates by
Ike drove. They are coming up like locusts
from the ground, and the spout era for each
are insisting that the country, now suspends
etLbetween heaven and enrtlilikf Mahomet,’®
coffin, will be> landed in purgatory unless
Jheir particular friend is given somefat
office. With plenty of pay and little work to
do. Dickens lied when be *aid “Nothiug in
America*lives long,” for 1 have been peraoo-
ally and intimately acquainted with 1 hi*hum
bug for ijiuty yearn. We ongbt to be weary
of it now. Ii- is not possible for the greet
body ofinteUigence of this country to be ever
wrought up to that degree of political- frenzy
seen and felt iu my lifetime Some of the
really great men of our country are never
known, for the reason that they are too mod~
est and have too much self-respect to plunge
into the cess-pools of political life. A ma*i
of decided talent and pure motives will never
do so. Like the true man of courage who
never st eks a difficult j, but- will fight, when
called upon, they seldom speak, but when
they do tlierr word*do not set with the first
sun.
When Congress adjourns, the 22J instant
the campaig ; will open in dead earnest.—
Every member of.that body from Georgia
wants to be returned. It is a pity we cannut
improve the intellectual caliber of our dele*
gation.
'***»»*
TALL SALARIES.
It has been discovered that it costs $10,000
in salaries, etc., to collect the taxes of this
county. Gibson, the Ciuuly Treasurer, gels
over $4,000. and Benson and Nelson, Receiv
er and Collector. $2o00eacb. The Alscoh
Telegraph paper says that for this “nary one”
of them works three months iu the jrear. t —
Bless your soul, there isuothing remarkable
about this. Take all the officers in the Uni-
ted State* and they are paid too much. They
earn about 10 per cent, of what tbey get, aud
90 is paid to keep up whst is called **the*dig-
uity of the office ” The tax payers, howev
er, are just about uow in the humor for taking
a little less dignity in their’n. •
* * * * * * * • *
THE CROP SITUATION,
I doubt if ever crops in Middle Georgia
looked better than they do at the present
time.* Corn is seen everywhere seven and
eight feet high, with heavy stalk and tassel-
ing out There is now scarcely a loop»hole
upon which to bang a doubt that the farmera
will make enough to last them a mil year. I
know of no probable disaster which can now
overtake and ent if short. Our gardens have
wonderfully revived since the rains began to
fall, and vegetables are again upon our ta
bles. Everybody says that cotton is doing a*
■well as conld be wished.
Tbere is a smell of new mown hay in the
whole agricultural atmosphere. Planters are
more happy than I have known them in a de*.
cade of years.
* * * * * * *
THE IMPORTS OF 1874.
It will be remembered that Col. Frobel, the
United States Surveyor of the Great Western
Canal, stated in hia report to the Senate Com
mittee that Georgia in 187*2 bought $24,000.-
000 worth of Western grain, meat, mules and
horses. The figures* staggered me at the
time, and seemed incredible, but when it is
remembered-that he made them up from the
books of the Western ■& Atlantic railroad,
they must be taken as correct. In this state
ment I found the true solntion for our pover
ty then, and for our poverty now. No people
on earth could make headway with such a
drain as this upon them, in addition to *nj-
third more of this amount for fertilizers, dry
goods, staple and fancy groceries But what
will we pay out iu 1874 for these articles ? 1
don’t now exactly kuow, nor does any -one
else, for the year is only half out ; but 1
can make a respectable guess, and that guess
is $6,000,000 4 or one-»fourth of 1879.
Standing here at the distributing point for
Middle and Southwest Georgia for all these
articlta. I know whereof 1 speak. And what
will be the figure in 1875? Will it be more
or less ? It ought not to be 25 cents, but ar
guiug from the preseut situation of onr crop*,
I do not think it will exceed one-half of six
millions of dollars.
With a full knowledge that this money will
in the future be kept in our own couQtry,
who can help taking a hopeful view of the
future? 1 believe that 1873 marked the turn
ing point in onr downward career, jn our
long list of nutoriunate years, and from
thence we comtneuced our ascending scale.
And, too, the Radical party has lost power
to enact any more sectional, malignant laws
intended purely for the oppression of the
Sooth.

Per cent, decrease on 1873...— ...". 10.74
In Ihe case of erery State, except Texas,
there, ia a material decrease, compared with
lut year, in the ares planted. The total es
timated acreage last year was 9.843,723;
while this,year, as ahown in tne abote state
ment, the returns of llie Agricultural Depart
ment indicatea £.785.755 acre*, or. 1.057,967
acre* less than in 1873. AU other things be
ing equal, this decline of 10.74 per cent, in
Ihe area planted wonfd imply a corresponding
’smaller crop than last year, or, to be more
explicit, a reduction or about 450,000 bales
compared with the crop of 1873. But we
cannot baby any means esrlaiu that all tha
conditions affecting the out-turn will be equal
to those of last year. The conditions of
weather, labor,state of soil,insects,eto ,are all
at present undetermined; and we have no
means therefore of judging how far the yield
wUI correspond to the redaction ofecret£ e The
Agricultural Beport gives estimates as to the
condition ofdhe crop in June : the estimates
being expressed by regarding 100 as rspre
seating a normal or fair condition, while the
figures show the approximation to that stan-r

eaob State, oompared with the like returns of

showing for the prmitnt condition of the
erop.the atinse of which is thus well explained
in the report;
The season has been remarkable for heavy
and frequent rains daring the month of April
throughout ihe eotton States. In some sec
tions the aggregate rain fall reported exceeds
sixteen inches All the rivers, creeks and
spring hrenches-ogsn, overflowed their banks,
destroyed the plants, and prevented germina
tion in the newly planted lando. In the more
southern belt replanting was general, both
in bottoms and uplands. From the first week
in May to its close drought was almost uni
versal. The soil was packed and afterwards
baked by the sun, retarding cultivation and
preventing growth. Tho aland is therefore
very poor, many pUnts not having made their
appearance on the first of Jane. Since the
last of May light showers have been general,
and the prospects are much improved Fields
are much eleaner than at this date last year,
aud can easily be kept free from weeds.—
With favorable weather rapid improvement is
certain, and a fair comparison with July is
quite probable at the next report.
The following comparison of acreage plant
ed with the actual crop, each year since 1809,
shows that the correspondeoce between the
yield and the area planted is by no means
uniform:
Crop in
Acreage. Bales.
1874 8.785.750
1873 9.8*3,723 *4,200,000
1872— 8,807 557 3,930,603
1871 ....... ...., 7,811 090 2,974.351
1870,.. —.8,885,545 4.352,317
In 1870, when we had a crop of 4,350,000
bales, the acreage was only about 100 Q0Q
acres above that of this year: and last year’s
crop was about 150,000 bales less than that
of 1870, although about 1,000,000 acres more
was planted thau iu the latter year. Iu 1872,
with 80,000 more acres plaufed thau this
year, the crop was 3,930.000 balm. The aver
age area plunied for. the last four years has
been 8 852.130 acres: aud the average crop
for the saute period, 3,804,294 kales; the
acreage is consequently about 07,000 acres
below the late average ; and; therefore, if the
law of averages could be relied upon as gov
erning the crop, we might anticipate a yield
of about 3,830,000 bales.
*Eslimqte<J<
Tkk Cincinnati Enquirer thinks the year
1870 will be a yery bad one for General
Grant to run for the Presidency for a third
term. That is the year of the Centennial
Celebration of American Indepepdexcc- The
country will be full of Revolutionary remin
iscences. A third term candidate would ran
XgaiDst Genera! Washington, who declined
such an honor, as well as against Ihe Demo
cratic nominee. We don't believe that Grant
can heat Washington’s example in 1870.’
