Mr. DeGive bad better veto that cur tain. _ WE BEG TO BE EXCUSED. We have received not less than fourteen communications in relation to the Public School question and Bible reading. Some aro written by Protestants, some by Catholics and some by Jews. On mature considera tion we have determined not to publish any of them. Nothing was farther from Mr. Dodd's mind than the opening of au angry discussion on the subject. His resolutions, as they stand, contain nothing objectionable. It is only what others may do with them that threatens mischief. We have therefore closed onr columns to all writers on the subject, be cause we are determined that we shall not be the medium through which any unpleasant ness may arise. Behind the subject is a reli gious altercation, and we do not believe in a row about religion. Two or three years ago we sat up for four nights in succession reason ing with an acquaintance on theological dog mas. After both parties had abused each other to their heart’s content, they declared peace and made friends ; whereupon investi gation disclosed the fact that neither had changed his opinion, and both had conse quently wasted much valuable time.

It there is anything of Spain left by the time these four factions stop fighting it will be in the shape of a pyra mid of muskets, stallitoes and Car list crosses. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE mmbtmbkt. K.

The news from Massachusetts, which we publish this morning, tells a significant story of the decadence of the Northern people and the progsess of Caesarism. Had the contest over the primary elections for delegates to the convention been an open one, Butler's extra ordinary success would not have indicated anything more than a moral blindness on the part of the people. Bat this man is the pet fend protege of the Federal administration, and all, or nearly all, of the Federal officers in Massachusetts supported him in his pre tensions. They have certainly won for him an overwhelming victory thus far, and in their success they have demonstrated that it is in tbe power of the President to nomi nate whomsoever he may desire to hold a State office. If this primary election in Massachusetts does not mean Otesarism it means that Grant is all-powerfal in bis party and that his re- election is merely a matter of his own choice. There is a bare chance that the other primary elections may turn the scale against Butler, but we do not believe they will result other wise than they have in Boston, Lowell, Wor cester and other cities. And while it is more than probable that Butler Is not the choice of a majority of tbe Radicals, should he be nominated, he will be voted for by all of them and elected. To us of the. South his nomination and election will be of the smallest possible con sequence. We will look upon it with philo sophical calmness as a sign of the times, aud another step towards empire. But that a coward, a liar, a thief, a scoundrel and a Beast like this man can be chosen to the highest office in a State which has assumed to be the embodiment of all the virtue and morality of this Continent, will be merely a vindication of the estimate long since placed npon Yankee virtue and morality by the Southern people.

It is terrible— | time and no little money to enlarging and no other word can begin to do justice to the subject. A correspondent from Opelika to the Montgom ry Advertiser, In speaking of tbe crops, says: Never in the history of cotton raising hss there been a cotton •crop that will prove more deceptive in the yield than thisono. Three weeks ago planters were rejoicing .over their tattering prospects, then expected s full yield, bat and and dlffereut the tale to-day.
