thAt the late flattering promise will by no

sptionfc, the wood has runted and
i dropi>-l much of its fruit universally, and
me a Large diminution in the
yield.
Indeed there were many fields where
from half to two-thirls of the total pro
duct in ready for gathering, and a few
weeks must tell the whole story.
It is a singular fact that in the more
northern portions of the area visited, the
plant was far healthier, and in bettor
condition than in the cotton region
proper.
Thus the boot cotton that met our eye
war in Virginia and Upper North Caro
lina, and fields were to be seen within
twenty mil** of Portsmouth, with stalks
four feet in height, and blossoming to the
topmost branches. Wc attribute the fact
to the forcing effect of fertilizers, and the
abs- i -sj of those excessive gluts of rain
which have prevailed in lower latitudes,
livery planter knows that after his cotton ,
ias nearly ceased growing and is clothing j
tseif with fruit, too much moisture, fol
lowed l»y hot spells of weather, invariably
produce rust or blight. When the latter
occurs, even the small limbs turn black
and perish. The/armor simply causes a
total suspension in the growth of the
plant, and the wholesale shedding of
leaves and young fruit. The older boils,
though ceasing to mature, will open un
der the influence of the suns rays even
when attaining but half their normal
*izc. The quantity of lint, however, is
proportionally less, and the staple, though
finer, is weaker. Should the weed, as is
frequently the case after shedding its
leaves, put forth new foliage, the effect is
to retard the opening of the old fruit,
while the new crop is too late to escape
tho frosts.
We have seen fields in the month of
Octolnir yellow na chamomile beds with
blooms, and to the unpractised eye look
ing mo9t luxuriant and promising, whose
actual production was next to nothing.
The sap had been diverted from the old
fruit and expended in the formation of
new fibre, causing it to remain in statu
quo, while the rank loaves excluded tho
sun. and prevented tho pods from open
ing. Bnt in Virginia, cotton has not ex
perienced theso extremo vicissitudes of
season, nnd, henco its healthy condition.
The forcing inflnexico of fertilizers is
having tho effect also of extending farther
north tho area of production. We were
assured that more than twice tho usual
Acreage, has boon devoted to tho great
staple in tho State of North Carolina tho

Of caterpillars, we saw but little sign
save in a few fields in Burke county nnd
in tho vicinity of Griffin. This insect
will not attack yellow and declining foli
age, but confines its ravages to river and
creek bottoms and those portions of the
plantation where the weed is green nnd
rank. Rust effectually kills them off,
but is itself well nigh as fatal in its re
sults, if general.
It is safe to say that in all tho country
visited by tho writer, tho falling off in
j tho present crop over previous estimates,
j will bo very heavy, amounting in sonic
J cases to over one-tliird. But still, from

Patrons of Husbandry Moving
In tlicir own Defence.
From the account published below of a
recent county convention held in Illinois,
it will bo seen that in the west at least*
our farmer friends have reached the con
clusion, that to effect reforms and pro
tect themselves, they must control the
several elections, and put in their own
candidates. Tlie movement is not politi
cal, but as nearly all Die antagonisms
they have been forced to encounter in the
shape of rings, monopolies, and impedi
ments to cheap transportation, originated
with Die Republicans and have been
pushed by this cLoss of the community,
they find themselves necessarily arrayed
against them. The administration and
Radical whippers in, would fain throw a
sop to Uiis Cerberus and stop his growl
ing. But it is too lato. Even the better
portion of their party are aligned with
the granges, and they intend to make an
issue of their own. Read the article re

eight persons who return property to be
taxed above tho value of t«n thousand

of them. The lands in the country are

is some $240,900 greater than last year.

The result in Massachusetts was an
other “facer” for Grant. Butler was his
candidate for governor, and had the ac
tive support of erery Federal officer in
the State. They left their legitimate
business and traversed the State in But- | reports th'
lcr*s interest. They packed the prima
ries, manipulated doubtful voters, and
cajoled and threatened by turn to secure
his nomination. His most active lieu
tenants were the leading Federal office
holders in the State—the men most in
the confidence of the Federal adminis
tration, and so strong in their positions
that the anti-Butlerites dared not assail
them. When Grant passed through Bos-
*on on his way to Maine they took entire 1
a crowd estimated at as high as thirty
into the stream. The steamer, without
pausing to threw as much as a rope or
plank overboard to the struggling unfor
tunates, backed out fcto the channel and
proceeded on her way with the utmost
indifference. The Sun of Tuesday says :

A Review op the Chatham County

can, of yesterday, says:
There are legion-* of men in Savannah
whose wealth, including real estate,
bonds, money, solvent debts and personal
property, will r.ot reach twenty thousand
dollars, but an examination reveals the
fact that there are only two hundred and
sixty-nine persons and firms in the city
whose .real and personal property, ac
cording to the returns made by tho re
ceiver, k valued at $20,000 anti over.
There are thirty persons and firms whose
property is valued at over $100,000, and
those who plead guilty to over $200,000
are only nine in number. The richest
man i« put down at $324,500, and the
richest woman at $235,500. The richest
business firm reports $307,470, and the
next best $250,000. The various houses
engaged in business in this city range
from the above named figures down to a
few thousand.
The same paper has tho following:
Arrival op the New Slawson Box
Caps.—A large crowd was attracted to
the corner of Bay and Drayton streets
yesterday morning by the appearance of
the two new Slawson patent box cars,
which had just arrived by steamer from
New York for the use of * the Savannah,
Skidaway and Seaboard railroad. These
cars, as we have before stated, are con
structed in such a manner as to be man
aged by the driver alone without the aid
of the conductor. The driver stands on
the platform on the front end of the car,
and admits the passenger or let3 him out,
opening the door by a little contrivance
in front. The box for the receipt of the
fare is fixed in front, and is arranged in
such a manner that the driver knows
when a passenger has or has not paid his
fare. The little box is locked, and is only
opened by the proper person at tho end
of the tnp. The driver is always pro
vided with a sufficient amount of change
to accommodate those who need it. We
learn that these two cars have been

How the Robbers Levy Contributions
in North Carol inn.
From a Late letter in a New York paper
we reproduce this graphic picture of tax
gathering by the bandits who now gov
ern South Carolina;
On roaahing tho spot I perceived that
the magnet of attraction for tjio. assem
blage was an oH-fashioned family "car
riage, drawn by a pair of cadaverous
mules, which stood among the chinquapin
bushes by the ror.d-siue. On the front
seat of the vehicle sat a little weasel-
faced man, who had upon his lap a huge
account book, in which he made entries,
from time to time lie received small
packages of dirty shinplasters from tho
bystanders. Behind him, reclining at
full length, was a big, burly negro, whose
feet (literally a foot each) were elevated
so that they almo-it leoi iiod the cars o?
the little man in -rout. Amazed at this
extraordinary exhibition. I asked a gen
tlemanly looking person for an explana
tion. “Oil. it is only :i tax gathering,”
said he. and with a smile, “Wo are paying
tribute to Cresar oM Caxax Moses—i
whom you see in the carriage.” “Why/
have you a colored collector ?” “Yes, sir,
or rather I should say Governor Scott has
a negro collector. Wo have none; tho
white men o? South Carolina, sir, have
.eiy little *2u*y9 in the an»«* tio*\ of the
officials who govern them.” Bat who is
the little man who corns t > be doing the
business ?” “He is a low fellow, sir,
formerly a gro vry keeper’s clerk. He
now act3 as coachm tn and clerk for tho
darkey. Old Crest*, who cannot write his
own name, is obliged to give half his sal
ary to Scruggs to ntt m l to business for
him.” “What salary (lois ho got?” “One
thousand dollars and jxrrquisit- s.” Dar
ing this conver.-odion “old Cm o’* arose to
n point of order. A week-looking coun
tryman had ask-vl if State money would

drunk to F.it upright, bnt heard Du> ques

presented a blearer), sensual countenance,
which ought to procure him admission to
the penitentiary without a warrant. “No!

Tlie “Pairing*” Season at Long
Branch,
The Long Branch correspondent of the
New York Erpres* tells what he knows
about this, as follows: .
In the evening aft r tho hop, the piazza
of the hotel presorts some very interest
ing sights. Each couple who are on tho
pairing list have a favorite nook, to which
they repair after the dance. Two chairs
are drawn together on which they seat
themselves, the little powdered head finds
a resting place on the supporting shoul
der, a coat-sleeve entwines itself around
a snowy neck, r r.d nestled thus they sit
till tho midnight hour, when a summons
from a waiting and tired “ma” startles
the cooing doves from their delicious
reverie. You can t'-ll the young men
who do this by tho whit-? spots on their
coats in the xormsg. where the powdered
head had rested. Some fellows, wiser
in their generation than others, provide
themselves with a napkin, where the
girl’s head may lie without injury to the
coat. You can see tho places they sat by
the position of the chairs in the morning
—the “pairers*” chairs being so close to
gether that a thread could not pass be
tween them. Every night as I walk
down the second balcony on the way to
my room I surprise a number of the cou

Assassination of an Indiana
Editor.
Indianapolis, September 10. — A
special to the Journal from Frankfort-,
IncL, says: Fletcher Meredith, editor and
proprietor of the Clinton Republican
Banner, was shot about 10 o’clock to-day
by Jno. F. Douglass, whose wife has a
millinery shop up stairs. Douglass con
cealed himself in the loft when M&redith
entered the store nnd engaged in conver
sation with Mrs. Douglass. Douglass
shot from a hole in the ceiling, the ball
passing through Meredith’s wrist and en
tering hi3 right Ixreast. . The wound is
considered dfingeroti3.
If we are not mistaken Douglass is a
native of LaGrange, Troup county, where
he lived until after the close of tlife late
civil war, when with his wife, a "Western
woman, we think—he removed to In
diana. We are only sorry he didn’t shoot
stronger, if, 03 it is fair to presume from
the above statement, Meredith was in his
house on a ba3e errand.

The Mountains Falling upon
the Salary Grabbers.
Of the twenty-one members of Con
gress and Senators from Ohio, all have
either taken the back-pay or ore receiv
ing the increased pay in advance, and
the public fail to see any difference be
tween the two.—Cleveland Leader.
Those prudent Congressmen who are
waiting for th“ popular indignation “to
blow over” before they pocket thoir share
of the salary swindle must feel discour
aged when they see Unit, instead of sub
siding. the storm grows stronger each
day.—Belleville (III.) Democrat.
President Grant, undisturbed, by the
outcry about the salary-grab and Cfesar-
ism, is pursuing tho even tenor of his
don’t-care-a-daum path, as cold as
icicle to the eye of the public, but all
the time thinking like tho devil and fix
ing things for the future.—Cairo (IU.)
Bulletin.
In this connection, it is. interesting to
recall tho prophetic utterances of Gen.
Butler when lie was pushing the measure
through Congress. In his sp» ch for it.
he said this was a “moat auspicous time ’
for such a scheme; that “no miserable
demagogue ould make any capital out
of itthat he “was a mean member who
would object to it—so mean that ho could
never find men mean enough to re-eloot
him.” After these words ho added: “I
put myself upon Die prophecy, and you
will see how it comes out.”—Brie (Penn.)
Dispatch.
Let us reason a little further. Every
member of the prosent Congress, whether
Republican or Democrat, are taking ad
vantage of that stupendous salary-:<teal,
by drawing, each month, at the rate of
$7,500 per annum. These “grabbers”
constitute the real leaders, manipulators,
managers and helmsmen, in every sense
of the word, of thoir respective parties.
Put either of these parties in power, and
you sustain the “grab.” You may make
all tho beautiful resolutions imaginable,
condemning the infamy, but if you elect
its supporters to office you must expect
its continuation. How evident, then, is
it that yon must sustain and place in
power the anti-grab, anti-monopoly, peo
ple’s party, to redress your grievances,—
Peoria (HI.) Democrat.
Most, if not all, of tho Democratic
members of Congress from Pennsylvania
attended tlie Democratic State Conven
tion at "WHkesbarro. They all had their
five thousand dollars of back-pay in tlieir
pockets, and were willing to hand u
nice slice of it over to tho State Central
Committee. But they were all insulted,
and now swear that “nary a red” will
they give. * * * They were insulted
in the house of their friends, and all for
buncombe^ Tho people understood that
more Democrats voted for it thou Repub
licans ; all wanted it, nnd nearly all took
it, and we havo yet to hear tho first man
say he intends to vote either against the
Democratic or Republican ticket on the
“pay” question.—Lancaster (Pa.) Exam-
xncr—Grant.
The St. Paul Pioneer (Democratic) has
Dio following to say, in advance of any
action of its part y, concerning the anti-
monopoly ticket recently nominated in
Minnesota:
The action of the convention presents
plain issues, and ft ticket selected en
tirely out of tlie ordinary way, to the
people of Minnesota. Neither cabal or
caucus has had a word to say in making
it. The nominations sprung directly
from the popular heart, unfettered by
form, ceremony or past observance. The
quality of the candidates is unexception
able. Th y are not only good and worthy
men, but possess an experience, intelli
gence and integrity that makes them
wr .thy of confidence. This much, at
least, is due to truth, whatever action
our own party may decide to take.
