Ha has done nothing that shows the slightest ooDceasion to Htate rights or personal independ. .nd security. Hi hi* now and tben talked fairly; bnt whin was It that a question war raised that be did not give a decision that left the Inlilligint and patriotic friends of the true theory of Kepnb'ic.nl«m In despair? His de- oitiont aro foarfol. Eren between factions hia own parly when was it to*: be did not aide itb the least meritonoot faction? With no prfjndtee In th* matter, we bave not seen an exceptional case. General Grant snstalns every encroachment upon Htate* rights, every nsnrpatlon of Federal antbonty, and in tbe case of Georgia he nrged Chingreaa to apply tbe “tesUoatb" to tbe Geor gians, a recommendation ao revere tbat even Ooxgrea*. as rntbleea aa it was, did not have the he’.rt to respect it. Then, what are so-called Southern man— men who went as far aa he who went farthest in tba Confederate c.n<e and in the came of S'atea rights—espousing the canoe of General Grant for ? We eannot for tbs life of us ace. He certainly does not want their help. He In no need, and he has shown no diraositlon to relent towar.'a tbeir countrymen. Even now ha proposes to Interfere in onr Buie elections to tbe and of silencing (be known voioe of tbe oeople. We shall soon see tba signs about Norfolk and the navy vard. Tben, what does Grant want from tbe Old Virginia Staton-right* men tbat they should rie dare themselves for him, or wbat do they gain by pobliabing tbeir adhesion to h s s power ? It ia a perptexlr g question. We see nothing gain fd on either aide. Something may be expected. It It bard to know wbat that ia. Bat tbla we can aav with trntb, that if anything bis been expected it baa not been realized. General Grant ia no donht laughing in bfa alaeve. and as be said when Early went lowards Washington he no doubt says in this cue—viz that it is a mere ''Fiasco." Exactly, aod yet yoor “Conservative” con veotion resolved, with all these facia blazoned in Ineffaceable letters upon history's page, that ‘they wonld offer no factions opposition to his administration.” Tbo Dispatch talks with tba bark on, and states, in words that need no slab- oration, tbe reasons wby no true min, be be Virginian, Georgian or what not, can aepport Grant. It is really pitiable to see a convention of representative Virginians deprecating Grant’s wrath by declaring they will not offer any "fao- tloos” opposition to bis administration. If what the Dispatch says of that administration be true—and all men know it is—then we affirm tbat It ia the doty of good men, everywhere, to offer every kiod of opposition lo if: and so the Virginia “Oonservativea” should bnv« declared. Faotiona opposition to an administration whoso policy has aoma good points In it msy bo dep- reoaled, bnt where it ahowa not ono single measure tbat is not evil In Its purpose and ao tlon towards a people called upon to speak their ind onnoeraing it, any and every eort of oppo Billon is not only their dnty bnt tbeir polioy. Tbs Sonthern Democracy have nover yet made anything by bolding back when dealing with this question. Whenever they have en deavorad to blarney Grant be has given them a back banded slnp intbeir months as a punish ment for tbeir presumption, and to show hla oontempt for them. If tbe Virginia"‘Gonser- vatlvne'' had only borne tbat fact in mind, they won'd never have made another effort in the same direction, and there wonld bsvo been fonnd preoions few of that cites of Virginians whose espousal of Grant’s erase has called forth th* Diepateh’s comments. These men, no dnnbt, find, or rffeot to find, in tbe resolution the oonvention above referred to, justifica tion for their oondnot, and there la (he danger if. Its numanlinesa and folly we painted ont yesterday. This whole matter suggests one tmpregnahle truth in Sonthern politics. It is tbat nothing bnt dirgrace and defeat can come of any com promise with, or conciliation or, tbo Grant party. It is as ruthless and fixed in its policy evil aa tbe instinct of the tiger for blood, snores all devloea to soften its spirit or di vert its purpose. It recognizes and respects nothing bnt an opposition tbat looks it Fqnare 'the eye, and fights It inch by Inch. We in Georgia bave triad tbat experiment—with wbat result all know. WeornshedRadicalism.and that effeetnally. It was not by soft wordi for Grant and bis administration, though. We denonneed both as they deserved, and made the action suit tbe word. Tho Virginia Conservatives, while declaring tba issue to be whether whites negroes abonld rale in Virginia, assure the b'g man, who of all others most desires victory for tbs latter, that they do not intend to offer any “factions” opposition to bis administration —an administration whose cardinal doctrine, as ell as its strongest prop at the Sontb, ia the rule the negro. The Dispatch thinks Grant is laughing in his sleevo at theso Virginians who snppoit him, and calling tho foot a mere ‘Jinx.” We think there is good reason for believing that ho ia also langhing in his sleeve the “ Conservative ” convention. Under and Back Pay. Beast Butler defends tbe action of these Con gressmen who drew and still retain their back pay. Speaking for himself, he says he is rich and does not need his pay; bnt he is “fearless” and will therefore uphold the oonrse of those who do need it. The World, commenting npon this utterance, exclaims: If a starring man steils a leg of motion, or grabs back pay, or Mizes any other disreputable <xpedlent to escape starvation, It dees not be hoove ns to judge him harshly. Bnt what shall we say of tbo man who boasts that he Is beyond Iho fear of want, and at the same time avows that he also stole a leg of mntion merely to keep his poorer colleagnes in countenance ? And this ■ the gist of the defenoe which Bader makes for himself. We have never beard, ex sept from Butler, that a man who bad money was averse to having more on that acoonnt. Nor do we believe wben we now bear it from him. Butler did not send bia back pay to oharlUble institu tions, neither did be distribute it among tbe needy Cragroasmen whose poverty ao wrings bis nob'e aonL Ou the contrary, he pnt it in bta pockel. and now be slaps that pocket with a cheertnl jingle, and tells his oonstitnenla that he does not heed it, that he can live perfectly well witbont it, bnt that he will keep it all the sitne. SatlilUnc (be Bight Horae. Tbe grangers of Bureau county, Blinois, meeting in a Republican stronghold, nnder the presidency of a Republican member of tbe DegisUtore, hive m itched the Ohio platform in the matter of one of its resolutions. Instead of oenraring both political parties os joint au thors of their woes, they declare that “the po- litiual party which for the paet thirteen year* has bad perfect and exclusive control of onr Htate usd national affairs, with ample time and puwer to remedy all evils and oorrect all aba ses within the scope of governmental action, if it bu 1 so desired or intended, is folly and clear- ly responsible for the grievances of which [tbeyj complain." This U precisely what tha Demo crat of Ohio said, bnt coming from the gran- gets of a Republican county it ia one of the most hopeful utterances of tbe movement. The Republican leaders bare been deairona, if they coold not retain the granger* within the party fold, of nsirg tbe movement to disinteg rate tbe Democratic party in tbe rnral districts of tbe Northwest, trusting to retain power in the scramble. The grangers, however, see plainly where the responsibility lies, and cen sure the verv persons who deserve censure. 1Veto York World This movement in seif defence of the honest agricultural mifssa, carries terror to the hearts of the guilty party in power, who have ao long pilfered the public treasure, and trampled the tax-payer in the dust. Soft words and hollow promises will avail naught to appease the in dignation of an outraged people. They are determined to right themselves, and tho sooner the better.

These mrnlhly aatlatioe possess a relative valoe, tboogo necessarily exparte and partial, for leek of foil returns from the several States. They contain, however, the largest amount agricultural in formation that can beeolIee'.ad such abort iuteivala from any one source what erer. court. According to the report of this cereal, an in crease in acreage ia to be noted in the Golf States and a decrease in tbe Middle and West ern States. In IUinoia, the Egypt of America, tbe decline is folly 12 per oenh, or about one- eighth, with a farther diminution aa respects oondition, of 13 per cent. This wonld rednae tbe yield of the prairie State aboat one-fonrth. A very serious falling off. Ia the aamming np of tbe state of the crop as reported by ooaoties, la the Union, 271 retara average oondition, 220 above avenge, and CSO below it. Georgia is pat down at 103, which we tbink leas than the true estimate. Her crop will go 10 per oent. better than the nantl yield. Stands though late, are generally good. CJ7TJS In the great staple, tbe Department estimates an increase of 12 per cent. In the acreage over 1872, when Ibe total was placed at 8,500,000 acres. Owing to wet seasons, the prevalence of grass and iba acarc-'yof labor, the abandoned area, it ia believed, will very nearly, however, cover the reported increase. Tbe average oondirioo reported for all the co'.ton States ia 83 5. In Georgia, the returns from 53 oonutlea indicate an average of 9(. In ten of these tbe average ia above 100; In sev enteen 100, and In thirty-one below 100. Gaterpillan and insects are reported in some sections, bat as yet the damtge they have done is Inconsiderable. are reported short in aU the New England and the Middle States, Maryland, Virginia, Missis sippi, Ohio, and moat of the remaining Western States. In aU the others, and espeolaity the Sonthern States, this crop srill be greatly en- banned In quantity. In 1872, tbe total yield waa 271,7(7,000 bushels. The prod not of rye, too, will not be as satisfactory aa laat year, TBZ SAT CBOP, Owing to the desolating drought which has prevailed In New E igland, the Middle States, and portions of Ohio. Michigan and California, srill be greatly ent off in tboae localities. In other portions of the Uafon, however, re port* are very favorable, and the deficiency in the general yield srill, therefore, be mnoh leas than was oontempiated. Wo have more than enongh natnral grass in Georgia, jnat in oondl. tlon for entting, to supply onr domestic con sumption, if planters wonld bnt devote a few days to Koraring it, rnmia. In the exlremo north ths poach trees were killed outright by tbe severity of the cold laat srinter. Tbe writer hardly aaw a living stock between St. Denis and Chicago. Apples also fared badly from tho same cause, and Id Kansas a “blight” ia now quite general. The average of both of these important crops will be greatly reduced In oocseqnenee. Grapes are more promising, though not an average. lo California the prodnot of wine has been materially reduced, becanse ihe fanners find it more nrofitahte to convert the yield of tbeir vineyards Into raitine. Largs quantities this delicious dried fruit are manufaotnred, and it is greatly esteemed In tba markets for Its excellent quality. SUOAB CAtSE.

At present, tha products of the flald and garden seem well nigh their mercy. Lui lV'rek'i Cotton Figure*. The Financial Chronicle of Saturday, ahowa the total receipts for the past seven days to have reaobed 10,GS4 bales against 12 255 bales last week, 12,618 bales the previous week and 13,883 bales three weeks siooe, making tha total receipts since the firat of September, 1872, 3,586,253 bales against 2,712,009 bales for tbe aame period of 1871-72, showing an increase since September 1, 1872, of 874,214 bales. The exports during the same week reach a total of 14,139 bales, showing an increase of 071 bales compared with tbe corresponding week last season, while tho stocks are 61,631 bales more than they were at this Ume one year ago.

Montgomery more than half tbe daya of the week have been showery, bnt aa the week closes there ia a favorable ohange; tbe damage by oaterpillars is still limited, owing to tbo effec tive U9a of Faria green. Onr Colnmbna tele- gram also save tbat they are having too mnoh rain there; on more than half the days of the week it baa mired.

The AanicDLTDBAL Returns or Georgia.— We oopy tbe following from the Atlanta Conati tution, of yeaterdiy : Onr efficient Comptroller General and bis as- sis-snts yesterday oumpieted tbe footir g of tbe agricultural bocks returned by the various tax receivers throughout the State. In the table of aggregates which we give below tbe returns of tbe eutire State are inolnded, with the excep tion of twelve counties. The tax receivers for tbeBe o:noties np to yesterday afternoon bad not sent in tbeir books, bnt they will probably do eo in a few daws. On aooonnt of the novelty of tbeae returns, many of the reoeivera have failed to understand thoroughly bow they were to be taken, although printed instructions end forms were distributed to each from tbe Comp troller’s office. Coum quently some of tbe items are by no means perfectly reliable.
