risk all should do so, that, they live or
die together.
The New Orleans Democrat says:
‘We are constrained by a sense of du¬

more strikingly illustrated true hero¬

A Reform in Georgia.
We printed yesterday an interview
wiili Major J. F. Joins, of Troup
co'.uify, which presented some most
remarkable facts. It has been con¬
sidered ns settled that the cost of a
pound of cotton to the farmer in south
is from tight to ten cents depending
somewhat upon the condition under
which it was made. Major Jones gives
a detail of u process by which he made
cotton yeai afti ryearut less than three
cents a pound, and says the farmers in
his neighborhood under tne same sys¬
tem have the same or even a better
record. If is unimportant to ascertain
whither or not the details of his cal¬
culations are precisely accurate. It is
iiiongb to know that ho has raised the
aveiage of cotton production from one
third of a bale to the acre to a bale
and a half to the acre, and that by ex
changing a large plantation loosely
cultivated fora small farm well tilled,
ho has jiaid oil a $7,000 debt acctimu
Sated under the first, system, and laid
by a surplus in cash and improve¬
ments. ire has struck the secret of
successful farming in this one Ihing.
and if the farmers of Georgia were to¬
morrow forced put the same labor and
expense upon the cultivation of half
us much acreage aa ttrey now spread it
over the result would be vastly better
for them and for die slate at large.—

In Case of the President’s Death.
To the Editor of the Sun:
Sir—I n case of the death of I’resi j
dent Arthur, will a new election for
President and Dice President become
iKCcssary, or will the pio tempore of I
the Senate become the acting Presi¬
dent for tho n unutidor of tho term of
four years,for which tho late President
Gin ft U was electe d ?
Two Bun Readers,
Thorn would boa now election, out
of the regular course, unless the death
of the Pre.'ident occurred so late in
the Urm that the regular election of
IS84 was impending. In that case the
Pre.-ident of tire Senate would act as
President ot tho ITuittd States until
March 4, 18S5, the ind of the term for
which President Garfield nnd A ice
President Arthur was elected*
But if the President s death should
occur before the first Wednesday of
October, 1S83 i there would be a new
election of I'rostGcut and \ ice Presi-
dent, out of tho regular course. The
election would he held at the usual
time of year, and the persons elected
would be inaugurated on the 4tli of
March ensuing. Bat their term of
office would be four years from their
