IjfTzaz.Tis o to Corro.v Piasizm. Mr. Wm.
m Lawton, of Charleston, now in England,
writes to a friond to BarnweU, South Carolina,
as follows: "If our crop of cotton falls below
3,500,000 bales, high prices will surely rule the
coming season, but it must not be pressed too
freely on sale. The consumption is very large,
and spinners fnily employed. I know of one
firm of soa island spinners who are cloaring
XI,000 per week at their mills.”
A noun on or Suvznr w Sixu.—Tho King of
Biam baa resolved to set free all tho slaves in
bis realms. Tbo perpetual abolition of slavery
will take plaeo in that oountryon the 31st of
January, 1872. A tax is to be paid by way of
remunerating ownors for tho compulsory man-
nmisslon, and tho experiment of free labor will
Uma be mado in atiil another country of the
world. The King of Siam aots an example
worthy of imitation by tho “ best government
the world ever saw."

Fall Rives Facto hi is.—In January, 1870,
there were running in Fall River 552,237 spin
dles, exoeeding those of Lowell by nearly 40,000;
and with additions contemplated to mills now
in operation, and the erection of seven new
mills, either now in process of building or that
are to bo begun, tho nnmber of spindles will bo
increased 450,000, making the whole nnmber
that will be in operation when tho new mills are

Ili:aunt of CnAButsTON.—We are gratified to
learn that tho Now York Board of Health con
siders tho yellow fever at Charleston to be no
oanse for quarantining vessels from that city.
Charleston steamers go direct to theif wharves
in New York and there ia now no delay in the
shipment of gooda by that line.

The Cotton Sod Oil Bcsinxss.—The New
Orleans Ficayuse aaya the oil factories in that
city, with one exception, were forced to suspend
for want of seed a month ago. The reduction
in the price of seed to #12 00 per ton against
#15 00 last year, and increased price of freights
rudnoed the importation to 460,953aaeks,agaioat
1,112,036 last year. The Picayune urges the
increase of shipments because the forty gallons
of oil which each ton of seed contains is of no
valne for fertilizing purposes, and the cako after
the oil i. extracted is worth more to planters
than the seed. Is it tree, that ihe oil has no
manorial virtues ? Some chemists say so, but we
don’t believe it.
Th* Bic* Crop.—The weather is embarrass-
Ing UkT rice planters. Constant rains either
make the over ripening rica fall, or much dam
age It after it ia ent and laid on the stubble by
preventing its drying, or by sprouting. Tho
crops aroall In harvesting condition, which it
to impossible to cany on anoeessfully.

The Georgia Democrats claim that o. bee;
Bullock has been absent from Sti
three months, and that hia title to tho offlIL ♦
Governor ia vitiated. As there ia no Lieuten
ant-Governor they propose to name the Speaker
of the House as Governor, and leave their ac
tion to be approved by the Legislature. This la a
rather high-handed proposition, and it would be
well for Bollock to harry back to his charge.
There is no constitutional provision limiting
the Governor's absence, and there ia no talk of
this kind to Georgia either. The Georgians are
not pining after Governor Bollock. Let him
‘‘stay hia time out.”

Cotton Botibo in the Fields.—We learn
from intelligent gentlemen that immature bolls
are now rotting in the fields, and matured
cotton is sprouting from the continuous wet
weather, which leaves no chance to gather the
crop.
Mitob Hall meets tho corruption investiga
tion before the Supreme Court of New York
with a sweeping affidavit that he has received
no other profits or emoluments whatever than
hia legally established salary. The New Yorkers
evidently beUevethat Connolly, the Comptrol
ler, procured the robbery of his own office of
the missing vouchers, but Connoly, of coarse,
is indignant at tho imputation, and maintains
that the abstraction of tbo vouchers would
amount to nothing to oovering op his tracks, as
the books show abstracts of aU of them. The
attention of the city is absorbed in the legal in
vestigation going on before Judge Barnard,
under the motion to enjoin tho municipal gov
ernment. The Herald very properly scouts at
the R«d leal effort to remand the city to tho
control of the Legislature—so long notorions for
its remorseless corruption.
August Ihpootatioss.—The August foreign
importations into the port at New York were
over seventeen millions of dollars—an amount
far beyond what was ever known before in a
stogie month.
Hydbofbobia.—The New Orleans Picayune
of the 13tb reports the death of officer Dorn of
that oity, by hydrophobia. He had been bitten
to the hand by a dog a few days before, and
tbonght nothing of it at the time, bnt last Mon
day afternoon ho began to feel sick. That pa-
persays: >
“A strong fever set in, and he grew excited
and delirious. At first be tatted wildly, and
finally, tortured by the intense pain, he foamed
at tho month, shrieking in hia agony. This con
tinued for several hours, the pain gradually
lessening, while the delirium augmented. He
tried to bark like a dog, and bit and snapped at
every one who approached him.
Being A man of powerful bniid and great
strength, it was extremely difficult to oontrol
him, While he raged and struggled in the hor
rors of his delirium. The soene is described
as terrible. The strong man, held down by
force, every nerve and sinew of bis vigorous
frame trembling and cxeitod; shriek upon
shriek rending the air, his faee wild with a hor
rible terror, and the foam dripping from his
mouth. Hour after hour went by in Ibis fear-
fnl delirium, nnli! exhausted nature laid him
helpless and dying before his terror-strieken
family. He died at a few minutes to II o’clock
yesterday, still delirious, and with his last
breath exhibiting the symptoms of horrible in
sanity.
Knows Enouoh.—The New Orieans Times
thinks it is all lost labor descanting upon Gen.
Grant’s ignorance, and dullness, and solflshness.
Ho knows as much as his party wants him to
know, and he does as they all want to do.
The World says the body of the young woman
which was washed ashore near Cold Spring,
Long Island, on Tuesday morning of last week,
has been identified as that of Mrs. Rose Lovell,
wife of John Lovell, the captain of Congressman
Roosevelt's yatch Fearless. Mrs. Lovell charged
her husband with having desertod her for
another woman, and for some time has been
mentally depressed. She is supposed to have
laVnn passage on the steamer D. It. Martin,
and to have jnmped overboard, for the purpose
of committing suicide. It is said that the Troy
ilressmaker.Misa Jennie Hicks,whose mysterious
disappearance was supposed to have somo con
nection with this sad tragody, has been dis
covered in Boston.
The One Tumi Abut.—Tho Radical papers
say Grant was whipped ont in the elections for
delegates to tbo New York Republican Conven
tion, and Greeley and bis one term triumphant.
Never mind, Mr. Grant! The Southern so-
called reconstructed States with Squashee and
Gumbo for sovereigns, will set yon right in the
National Convention. What is New York,
curies from tho South.

ThePcnnsti.VANIA Centbal.—A correspondent
of the World Bays in the opinion of investigating
men the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
for the last nine years realized no net profit on
its bnsinosa, and has really gone materially be
hindhand, though payiog IO per cent, dividends
to Us stockholders. Tho writer winds up as

Taxation Under Radical Itnlc.
There are other points, says the Charleston
Courier, touched upon by General Morgan in
his late speech to Ohio, to which we propose to
allndo. Instead of the taxes having been re
duoed, as claimed by the Bepnblioan party, they
have been, as was exhibited yesterday, hugely
increased. The annual profits of this country
arising from all its industries are estimated at
abont $1,000,600,000. And yet, of this immense
amount, one-half is annually, cither directly or
indirectly, taken from the pockets of the peo
ple, through the means and tostrnmentaiity of
taxation.
One of the boasts of the great Radical ora
tors, and for which the oontinnanee of their
supremacy is demanded, is that since the close
of the war $300,000,000 of the pnblio debt has
been paid off. This is tine. Bnt the boast falls
to the ground, and the moat wasteful expendi
ture is established when wo remember the
equally acknowledged fact that during this time
there has been collected, to taxa^on, $2,700,-
000,000. more than sufficient to have discharged
the entire national debt
General Morgan, in reference to this, re
marks:
Tbo other day when addressing my fellow-
citizens in Lrocasler, an intelligent and thought
ful gentleman in the andience called out andpro-
ponnded this pertinent question to me. He asked
'* If it take $2,700,000 to rednoe the debt #300,-
000,000, how mnch will it take to pay off the
whole- debt V The whole debt is a tittle less than
$2,400,000. The ostentation is not difficult. To
>ay off tho debt at the rate and to tho manner
t has been paid during the past six years, to
proportion to the amount of revenues collected
from the people, it wonld require $21,600,000,-
000 to pay less than $2,400,000,000."
Senator Sherman on the stomp declared that
Congress has reduced tbe internal taxes of the
people fifty-six millions of dollars. There is
probably no mode of taxation more odions, or
which is more directly felt and resented. The
object of Senator Sherman was by this repre
sentation to hold np the party to power as a
party of relief, and, therefore, entitled to the
support of the country at large. But the more
pregnant fact was not stated, that the reduc
tions were not for the common benefit, bnt only
eo far as regarded the interests of New England.
The party to power are governed by Us ideas,
controlled by its influence, and managed with a
view simply to its aggrandizement.
The remit is additional burthen* upon thegreat
West, and the other section* of the oonntiy.
And thi* will be perceived by tbe comparison
which General Morgan makes between the com
monwealth of Ohio and the New England State*.
He saya:
“It is tine, my triends, that In oertain parts
of the oonntiy tbe Internal Revenue tax baa
been reduoed. In 1868 the six New England
States paid an amount of Internal Revenue
equal to $25,000,000, while Ohio paid $12,000,.
ooo. New England paid $13,000,000 more In
ternal Revenue taxes than were at that time
paid by Ohio. Bnt how is it to-day? Ohio pays
waiting to be built by “Northern capitalists.”

Yesterday was very warm and ciondy, with I
frequent showers. Oar planters begin to think
the question is likely to be not half a crop, bnt I
whether there is to be any considerable portion
of a crop. Not for twenty years past has there I
been so nnpropitions a season for the cotton I
crop as the whole of the present one—beginning
with the long, cold and flooding rains of early j
spring, and coining down to the present time, [
when the rains will not admit of picking and I
are absolutely sprouting the cotton and rotting I
the immature bolls on the stock. There most
be s vast improvement to the weather and a long I
delay of frost to save this one from being the
shortest cotton crop which has been gathered |
within the last five years.
