In IVxas the plant is-suited to be more advanced and better fruited- in the Yazoo Ddta (the richest cotton growing region in the cou.-try) it is better in every way, while from Ar kansas come reports that although the plant is not so well advanced as last year, the prospect generally was never better. Here and there in the different States are sections where the piant lacks vigor, but in bv far the greater part of Uie South it is strong and healthy. V . ur , a: Cultivation has been as thorough as thorough as usual; still where rain has been excessive the fields are certain to be grassy to an extent. Worms, cater pillars midlist have made their appear ance at various points, but we hear of no special damage from them except in limited urea- in Georgia,Alabama,Miss issippi and Louisiana. New cotton is coming forwad more freely thaniastyear but the greater part of the arrivals * are from Texas, where the crop is more ad vanced than in 1888. The f< regoing represents the outlook on the first .of September and seems to warrant the conclusion of the crop of 1880-90 will be a very large one. Cer tainly the indications are for an in creased yield in Texas and a number of other States. Since the first of Sep tember the conditions have been quite uniformly favorable, and further im provement is noted in some States, par ticularly in Tenuctsse. The heavy rains in North Texas last week did no appre ciable harm beyound interrupting picking. There are few complaints of worms, etc. It is estimated that the great London strike cost that city 810,000,000. PATRIOTIC PENSION GRABBERS. Speaking of the pension matters and of Tannerism in particular, the Savan nah Morning News has this to say: “It looks very much as if the G. A. R. has taken charge of the affairs of the country and proposes to run it hereaf ter—that is, if the 60,000,000 people out side of that organization will permit it to do so. Originally the G. A. R. was organized ostensibly for patriotic pu: poses, namely: to keep alive associa tions formed during the civil war. It has, however, drifted rapidly far away from that safe anchorage and is now in the open sea of politics. It is the pow- ei behind the Republican party tbrone —“greater than the throne itself,” and it proposes to let the leaders of that grand old party not forget it. Its pat riotism has taken a very practical form, having for its object the reduction of the surplus by putting it into the pock ets of every man who had his name on a federal muster roll. Tanner, the late commissioner of pensions is a true representative of the majority of the G. A. R. It will never have ano tlier who will under stand better than he the present pur poses of the organization, and who will have the nerve to carry them put. Tan ner is out of ofiice, but his spirit is still wandering up and down the corridors of the department of the interior, and whoever takes bis place will be obliged to carry out his pluus. Nothing else will satisfy the grand army men and I m i :*clicvc that our farmers ■taiiy vain hope of reeeiv- 1 price for t cir cotton to Ihi merchants when their ,,f ' Sl >vh ail act would be * h* the planter and tlie the means to do so, meet Jk day they are due, if you ll h'ur cotton at five cents L'slbotli business -like and “will certainly, in tbe end, [L’ h a,,, l safest policy. T.IE ALLIANCEMEN AND THEIR OBLIGATIONS. Just what tlie Allianceinen have meant by holding their cotton for better prices of course was a simple endeavor on their part to get full value for their staple, and this in a measure was perfectly right and proper. Tbe .farmers have not for a long time been able to demand for their cotton all it was worth, and this in a great measure was what has brought upon them the oppression of debt and poverty. But while we acknowledge the justi fication of these efforts of the Alliance we can but recommend to them the ad visability of meeting their obligations to the merchants at once. The mer chants of the laud have befriended the Alliance materially and in various ways during the present year. They' have borrowed money from the banks to furnish the farmers with supplies, and have sold them goods cheaper than they have bought them for many a day. In gratitude as well as in fulfilment of honest promises it would become the Allianceiuen to meet these obligations promptly. The welfare of the country depends on it, for there will surely be a collapse iu the financial world if the debts of the fanners are not paid as soon as the cotton can be marketed. The farmers have no reas in to com plain at their situation to-day. The beneficence of Proyideuce has blessed them with an abundant yield, and their cotton is at present bringing a good price. They have but little to regret, and much—very much to be thankful for. A sense of duty and to consult their own interest are sufficient mo tives to urge them to pay their debts immediately. RAC ElLCl. LIES. The recent troubles between the ra ces both in the North and South have called forth much comment and many conjectures. Just why these troubles should burst forth all at once wifh more violence than ever before cannot be surmised at present Whether it is a political scheme of the Republicans to encourage 6uch antagonism between the blacks and whites in the South by inducing the negro to take steps out of his sphere, knowing that the whites will not tolerate it, and thus hoping to have food for tlie next campaign by harping on the cruelty to the negroes in the South, we cannot yet assert. That it is a natural outcome of the re cent change of administration when legislation undertook the impractical task of establishing civil equality be tween th3 races cannot be doubted. Whatever be the cause of the recent troubles, however, they have brought a very grave responsibility upon every loyal hearted man of the South, and to every truefDemocrat in the country. The race question is the greatest and most burdensome load on the South to day, and whether in the future while our country marches on to take its stand at the head of all nations, the South shall bear her part in that triumphant march, dej ends entirely upon the way this great question shall be settled. Tlie crisis is near at hand, and the responsi bility is being pressed hard upon us by the Republicans at the North. The two races widely differing in so cial, intellgctural and moral capacities COTTON FIRES ON SHIPBOARD. | Our legislators have a great deal of important public business before them to transact, but the bill introduced by Mr. luck, of Clarke, giving the under writers some control in the manage ment of cotton fires on shipboard, we consider of even greater importance to the people at large than the-State Road and Educational bills. This matter ef fects evvry farmer in Georgia who grows a pound of cotton, by forcing him to pay increased insurance for the greater risk the companies must carry. To adjourn without regulating this matter would be a ruinous neglect on the part, of our legislators. We learn that certain men interested in defeating this bill have lobbyists around the capitol, and are using every means in their power to prevent its passage. It would be a shame to per mit them to triumph. Mu6t our farm ers, and every man in Georgia who handles a bale of cotton, be robbed of more than a just amount of Insurance money that a few men in the seacoast cities—who are interested in shipping— be permitted to manipulate burning cotton as will best suit their interests? This is just what the defeat-of Mr. Tuck’s bill means. The Augusta Cotton Exchange has passed strong resolutions endorsing the bill, while the oppressed and victimized people from one end of our State to the other are supplicating their representa tives to protect them. The only class opposing the bill are a few shippers and their agents. Have they the pow er to manipulate and control the Geor gia legislature to further their own selfish ends? We believe not It is im possible to intimate the large sums that the cotton producers of Georgia are an nually taxed in the way of Increased in surance, on account of the companies having no control of their cotton when it is found, on shipboard. Right and justice demand that this matter should not be left entirely in the hands of the shipper. The men who must bear the loss should assuredly have a voice in protecting their property. There is no time to he lost. We hope our. patriotioe presentatives will turn a deaf ear to those lobbyists that crowd the capitol halls, and pass a bill that will prove of 6uch vital importance to their constituents.' The Savannah News, although pub lished in a city whose interest it will be to defeat Mr. Tuck’s bill, has boldly come out in its support. The News certainly takes a patriotic position and has endeared itself to the wronged Wanl of t —— — - » the peusion agents.

But there was no necessity for him to take such a literal way of cutting his evil associates. equality, and hence the term civil lil •-•- ty is a fam-i.ul theory alone. That the two races must live together in peace is obvious, and the only way for them to do this is for the negro to reconcile himself to his own sphere, and then he may confidently expect the good treat ment and sustenance which his supe rior race has always accorded him and always will so long as he keeps within these proper bounds. Legislation can never hope to accom plish equality between two races so un equal in mental, moral and social char acter.

There were many comments made all c ver the country yesterday about the weather, for it is unusual to have such cold and wintery seasons so early in the fall. Some think that it is on indi cation of an early fall, and if this be true it will be extremely disastrous to the late cotton crop, which at best would only make a tolerably good yield with a late autumn. Others thought it was simply the extreme that follows the warm weather we have late ly bad, and believe that it would soon pass over and leave plenty of fine weather yet before the winter comes. Others regarded it as simply the bad weather attendant upon the equinoc tial season, and thought ne more of it. But whatever it may token, it is un seasonable weather, and straw hats and slippers were discarded for more heavy and oomfortable attire. Fires were built on every hearth stone, and every thing assumed quite a wintry air, To the farmers the beating rails are not acceptable, for those who have much cotton in their fields will reap a heavy calamity if this weather contin ues. The corn crop, too, must be gath- ered ( and the grain sowing season will soon be on them in full blast.
