diet a still further falling off in
TlmileUine isaltiibu'e.1 mainly to tlie
-tort,* «tf |*M«
'^lich our planteis have enjoyed, and j
whjch gives promise of a much larger
crop than wus exp' eted some months I
ago. It is a common (Stimate that
this year's crop will he considerable
above 0,000,000 hales,provide*} no early
frost, of which there are no immedi •
ate indications, conies to cut short the
yield, while under any circumstances,
a fine crop is conceded.
From this steady decline in tho
price of the great staple/ our South
ern farmers can learn at, invaluable
lesson. Last year, for the first time
in a great many years, the planters
generally seemed fie'ermined to make
an effort to render their farms seifs
sustaining, and to throw off, ns much
ns possible, their dependence upon the
West for home and farm supplies.
To this end considerable attention
was paid to the cultivation of grain
and cereal crops, and, in consequence,
to-day, instead of being buyers of corn
and oats, a great proportion of our
farmers not only have a sufficiency of
those products for their own nse, but
a surplus to sell. So far as Georgia
is concerned tho yield of both of
those crops is greater than the most
sanguine anticipated.
it was predicted in early part of the
past summer that this attention to
food crops would materially reduce the
yield of cotton, inasmuch as the ac
reage of the great staple would be
largely decreased. This it was thought
would lead to higher prices than pre¬
vailed lust year, especially as it was
also thought that the supply from
Egypt would be materially lessened,
if not wholly cut off. Yet in face of
these plausible anticipations, we see
indications of one of the largest cotton
crops which the South has ever pros
duced, and steadily falling as a nat¬
ural consequence.
Suppose then that during the past
year our farmers hud not ltave adopt¬
ed amwff . dVAVMhre, but' tfStf We
nil", have stuck to tlrrtr old all-cotton |
policy, what would have been the re¬
sult ? Simply an enormous crop,
which would, in nil probability, have
been too great for the demands of the
world. Tlrenj would have followed
low and unremunerafive prices, and
Southern planter would have found
himself out of pocket on his cotton,
and at the same time depending on
tire West for the actual necessities of
his farm and household. He would,
in a word have been much worse off
than nothing. As it is, lie will not on¬
ly receive a fair price for his cotton,
and wil1 be Perfectfy independent be-

famcw> T , can geo ^ M ]
and . unmistakably . . . ., for themselves . the
great danger to which they subject
themselves by tho all cotton policy
when they rely only on their sales of
the staple for moans to purchase the
necessaries pf life. We predict here¬
after that they will sea to it first of
all that the home and farm are taken
care of, and when this is done then at¬
tention will be bestowed upon cotton
as a surplus crop. This is the only
way to be rid of debt and em¬
barrassment, and to secure tho true
independence of the planters of the
South.—Sac News.
The total majority of the opposi¬
tion to the Democrats in the 47th
Congress, including Republicans,
Green backers, Readjusters and Inde-
pendents, was 15. The net gain of

Judge Wooten is to bj no candi¬
date for re election to the judgeship
which lie holds by executive appoint¬
ment, Surely ho didn't accept the of¬
fice with the understanding that he
would uot be a candidate before the
Legislature! Yet it is singular that he
should have grown tired of the office
so soon.— Macon Telegraph.
Tho above is a fling at Judge Woo¬
ten that wes entirely uncalled for, and
is unworthy to that gentleman as it is
unworthy of a paper like the Tele
graph. Judge Wooten did not solicit
the appointment of the Governor, and
accepted it only at the urgent solicita¬
tion of tho bar of this circuit then in
attendance upon the Supreme Court.
Tito intimation that he accepted tire
appointment with the understanding
that lie would not be a candidate be¬
fore tho Legislature is unKind and un¬
founded in fact. Those who know
Col Wooten know that lie would not
have humiliated himself in any such
way. Members of tho bar here will
bear witness to the fact that he did

gentlemen who are aspirin g to tho
office, and for the further reason that
his law practice pays trim more than
the Judgeship would, we do not think
he ought to he subjected to any such
flings as the above on account of it. —-
Naps & Adv.
There seems to be a very genera)
disposition amoug the Georgia Inde¬
pendents to Kick back when they are
classed as anti-Democrats. With oue
accord they assert that they are as
good Democrats as anybody, but were
justified iu fighting their party. That
kind of reasoniug is too shallow—
Hereafter the Democracy, in this as iu
every other State, should draw party
lines clearly, and adopt’for their mot¬
to, ‘‘Whoever is. not for us is agaiu-t
ug.”
