“A little Independenceoceuslonully
In u good thing.” Ho suys tho Now
Orleans Bulletin, and we heartily en
dorse the sentiment. Though M.
Emile do Olrardln, editor of An
Lilxrte, was frequently fined 20,000
francs for attacking the abuses of the
government of the French Empire,
his isipor prospered, because ho waH
the outspoken advocate of fhe rights
of tho people. The great success of
the New York Sun Is due to the same
course. Meanwhile, those papers
given to captious criticism and un
just aspersions, like individuals who
pursue this policy, deserve to fail
and generally meet their deserts, un
less circumstances very exceptional
In themselves palliate the offence.
Wo believe the opinion of an editor
to be worth no more than that of any
intelligent citizen who thinks equally
on any given subject.. But for the
royal pronoun “we” it would be difll
cult for any editor to avoid egotism.
“But It. is sometimes all for the best
that a few men, or a few thousands
of men should declare their resolve
to go with the party only In the right,
and to follow their leader only to
wards worthy ends. Members and
guides of a party would bo slow to
And out that they are wrong except
for this show of wholesome inde
pendence. A mutiny is very apt tu
be a sign that something is wrong.”
What is true with regard to a great
political party, is equally true with
regard to the individual or to munici
nlelpal government. Independent
thought, which bursts tho fetters of
tyranny and leaps the barriers of pre
judice,ls the proper exponent of popu
lar will and popular freedom. To do
this correctly no guide is safer than
public sentiment. Ho that is in ac
cord with tho people among whom
ho lives, in feeling and sympathy, can
not fall to receive popular approval,
when in the effort to build up he does
not seek to pull down those strug
gling like himself to achieve a like
result. There Is room for all to work
hero in the South, and wo want fear
less, Independent workers. Grant-ism
Is tho colohbul wrong which should
overbalance all petty differences and
unite all in overthrowing all that tic
long to it. It is this which caused
the uprising of monopolies, cliques
and rings, and wo believe the public
will sustain those who denounce this
spirit wherever found.
It is the part of the Southern jour
nalist to oppose Giantism in nil its
forms; it is the part of the Southern
citizen to refuse support to those who
would defend Grant’s course. It is
not. a matter of prejudice but one of
self-preservation.
“The chivalrio inhabitants of Orif
lln anti Bartlesville, In the State of
Georgia, are in a terrible commotion
over the outrageous conductor the
wife of a colored preacher, who was
guilty of the heinous offense of at
tempting to ride in a passenger car
with white persons. Indeed, she so
far succeeded in her design us to re
main quietly seated in the car until
someone of more than average as
tuteness discovered that a slight mix
ture of Afric’s warm blood coursed
through her veins, witli a large quan
tity or the same quality that gives
life to the Caucussiun. Thereupon
she was lgnominiously thrust forth,
and condemned to llnlsh her journey
In the cattle car.”
The above is taken from the Wash
ington Chronicle. It is a well known
fact in this part of the country that
there are no cattle cars connected
with passenger trains in Georgia.
The press is an engine of great power
either for good or evil, and in the
Chronicle and Jlarper'n Weekly the
cause of mendacity is well served.
The latter paper had recently a car
toon illustrating another event which
never existed outside the envenomed
Imagination of Its author the carica
turist of Harper’n Weekly. It pur
ports to illustrate the dismissal of a
congregation in Virginia assembled
l for divine worship merely because a
' negro woman was found seated in the
church.
The letter “y” ought to be added
to the name of Nast to properly de
scribe his vocation. And yet those
“whited sepulchres,” who “thank
God that they are not as other men,”
prate about Southern intolerance as
the cause which prevents “fraternity
between the North and the South.”
Such is the “olive branch” extended
by the North to the South. Will such
slanders never cense ?
The Rome Commercial suggests that
it requires a town of 10,000 in habi
tants to sustain a good newspaper,
and most of the Georgia papers seem
to agree with it in this opinion.
Wo think, if this is a Correct opin
ion, first-class papers must be scarce
in Georgia. Georgia towns were nev
er so populous us now, and newspa
pers never more plentiful. Each pa
per seems to think itself the paragon,
and, like Beecher, “won’t step down
and out.” If it takes 10,000 people in
one town to support a newspaper, all
the papers, except one. in Georgia
ought to suspend, for we have no city
.with the requisite number. The dif
ferent cities had better establish co
operation societies and buy an inter
est in one puper. We believe, on the
contrary, that it is best for every city
of 10,000 inhabitants to have two
journals. Competition is always ben
ficial, and the public would rather
support two journals, each striving
tow in its support, than one indiffer
ent to if. '

The English historian, Mr. Fronde,
has returned from a tour of inspec
tion to the Southern extremity of Af
rica. It wus colonized by the Dutch
in 1050; seized by tho English in 1796.
In 1872 the area of the colony was
200,000 square miles, inhabited by
200,000 white settlers and 450,000 black
natives.
Natal contains 17,000 whites and
300,000 blacks. The climate and nat
ural advantages of this country are
unexcelled by any country in the
world. It contains enormous min
eral wealth, rich diamond fields, vast
deposits of coal, iron, copper and
gold. The soil Is very rich. ‘‘The
ulou- growth of the countri/ in due to the
pretence of two ran'* on It* toil.” Civ
ilized white and savage black can’t
agree. These natives of,G’affraria are
the most intelligent in Africa. The
natives only work long enough to buy
a wife, and then live by making the
wife do the labor. Surplus money is
always invested in fresh wives. The
men are very blood-thirsty.
Mr. Fronde is an Englishman who
has never lived in America, and who
sympathized with tho North during
our war. He is, In consequence, an
unprejudiced observer. If our negro
population will contrast the time
that the natives of Cuffrana have had
to become civilized, over 200 years, in
daily contact with white settlers, with
the time in which they lived as slaves
- not 100 years—they will see that
slavery was a boon to them. Since
history began there is no record of
such rapid progress in all tho arts of
civilization and comforts of life made
by the black race as that made in the
South. But for slavery it would have
taken them several centuries to be
come what they now are. The time
is coming, too, when they will realize
that they are indebted to Southern
ers alone for their past progress; and
that upon Southerners alone can they
depend in the present or the future.
Have the Northern philanthropists
over contributed any money to the
support of tho colored people? No;
and they never will. They brought
about the war for their own selfish
ends, and those ends were never in
tended to embrace the practical wel
fare of tlie colored people. Had the
war not occurred slavery would not
have lasted, because it would have
ceased to bo profitable before the end
of this century.
A l,i of Allllioii* i>> tlic lot lon Plan
ters.
[CoudrittMtd fruin the New York Pont.]
The cotton planters have sold three
millions bales cotton to the English
manufacturers at the rate of 7J pence
per pound, or one penny—that is, two
cents- a pound less than it ought to
have fetched. Whenever the crop
falls below four millions of bales,
cotton ought to be sold for nine pence
a pound and this will probably be
the rate for the remainder of the
present crop. Owing to the largo re
ceipts of cotton at the shipping ports
during the months of October, No
vember and December, speculators
were able to depress tho price. The
loss thus inflicted on the planters of
two cents a pound, amounts to $27,-
000, 000, and reaches the proportions
of a national calamity. Excessive
supplies of tho marketable article
early in the season furnish no ground
for believing that tlm total crop will
be large.
Among the last six cotton years
those of ’7O- ’7l and ’7;t ’74 are consid
ered as the large cotton crop yours.
11l the first of tlrvsr years the country
produced 4,352,000 halos, and in the
second 4,171,000 bales. We will now
compare the receipts at the shipping
ports during the first four months
from the beginning of September to
the end of December inclusive—of
each of these fruitful years, with the
receipts during the same season of
the present year:
1870-’7l. 1870 ’74. 1871 ’75.
1,499,000 1,738,000 1,987,000.
it thus appears that there were
received for shipment during the first
four months of tho present cotton
year 488,000 bales more than in ’7O-’7l,
which is known as the great cotton
year. But now turn to the receipts
of the months of January and Feb
ruary of the same year and observe
the change:
1870 ’7l. 1870 ’74. 1874 '75.
1,290,000 1,001,000 900,000
This shows a falling off in two
months of the present cotton year of
380,000 bales, as compared with the
same months of 1870 ’7l, and of 370,-
000 bales as compared with last year.
In other words, the homely saying
that four gallons of liquor' can tie
poured as quickly out of a five gallon
keg as out of a sixty gallon cask, has
received anew illustration. The
point of the proverb becomes appa
i rent when one begins to wait for the
j fifth gallon. Our English customers
are becoming aware that the cotton
crop of this country for the present
| year is approaching exhaustion. The
advance in price which would un
doubtedly follow the discovery of this
melancholy fact will go into their
pockets and the pockets of tho spec
ulators, and not into the depleted
purses of tlie cotton planters of this
country, where it justly belongs.

From Texas and other points in

Cemiiniindtnir Felonies.
The Washington Chronicle has a
sensible artiele on the above subject
from which wo extract the following;
“It is now announced that the par
don of Ingersoll by Gov. Tilden was
granted to qualify film to appear as a
witness against Tweed and tils accom
plices In suits now pending or here
after to bo commenced, for tho recov
ery of money stolen by them from the
public.
j “Compounding fellonies is regarded
In some places as somewhat below
the highest order of morality. In
sparsely-settled counties on the fron
tier, where the people are indigent,
and hardly able to defray tho expen
ses of the Imprisonment of public
offenders, the escape of felons and
their flight from the country is, it is
said, occasionally winked at by the
officers of the law for economic rea
sons. Compounding with Tweed and
his accomplices for a large sum of
money could hardly bo justified on
this ground In the grout, commercial
metropolis of the nation. They are |
supposed to be able to defray the
oxjienso of their punishment. Be
sides, economical moralists may, by
tills sort of justification, be led to in
quire whether the release of felons is
in fact necessary for the purpose of
securing tho stolen goods.
“Heretofore it has been supposed
that a thief is liable iu a civil suit for
the value of stolen goods, whether he
is convicted criminally or not. It ap
pears to lie supposed in this ease that
the magnitude of the robbery chan
ges tile foregoing principles of law.
If, in such eases, restitution of the
stolen property is to be accepted as
an atonement ter the offense, the
felon who robs heavily may come to
be regarded as fortunate compared
with one who takes little. It appears
to bo difficult to understand the oth- j
ics of the Democratic party.”
Mr. Hlalnr'n opinion.
With Colorado admitted, the total
electoral vote will be 369, of which 185
constitute a majority. The Southern
States united can give 138 votes, leav
ing only 47 to be obtained out of the
231 that belong to the North. The
three States .of New York, Connecti
cut and California can give these 47
votes, and your own prosperous State
is one that is always found on the list
of those who wish to control the gov
ernment by this combination. And
if this design could succeed it would
only bo history repeating itself.
Against an overwhelming majority of
the free States, in 1856, ii small frac
tion of them united with tiie South,
and were enabled to fasten the Buch
anan dynasty upon the country with
all the remembered evils that, follow
ed.
This prediction of Mr. Blaine will
not, be realized if the Northern States
which have already repudiated the
Radical party stand firm in their op
position until November, 1876.
THE NEXT SENATE.
I Twenty-six members of the present
Senate vacate their seats in March,
j 1877, of whom sixteen are Republi
cans and ten are Democrats. These
Democrats represent States that went
heavily Democratic at the lust elec
tions, and Democrats are almost ab
solutely certain to take the places of
tho present, ten incumbents. This will
preserve tho Democratic column un
broken in the next Senate.
How will it be apt to fare with the
sixteen retiring Republicans? Among
them arc Morrill, of Maine, Boutwell,
of Massachusetts, and Anthony, of
Rhode Island. There is one more
in New England Cragin, of New
Hampshire. There may be doubt
about Orugin’s successor; but we will
concede these four places to the Re
publicans. There are seven others
j out of the sixteen, which, according
j to recent elections, the Republicans
j may hope to hold, viz: those of Eer
i rv, of Michigan, Howe, of Wisconsin,
Wright, of lowa, Wiudom. of Mimic
| sota, Hitchcock, of Nebraska. Harvey,
j of Kansas, and Robertson, of South
Carolina.
