Benefit* of Inileprmlenl Art lon. “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. The Washington Chronicle says i that the expenditures of the State Government in Arkansas, under Ga rland’s regime for the current year, exceed those of last year of Republi | can rule over $90,000. Until it cor ! rects its statement about the cattle j ear matter, this must be taken cum ! grnno satis. From Texas and other points in the South we have encouraging re ports of crop prospects. The truth is that tile Southern people are in bet ter condition now. so far as business affairs are concerned, than they have been for twenty years. The loss of I value in slave property and the de ! crease of value in real estate has been ! compensated for to some extent by | the general advautago derived frorii ! the free use of the bankrupt act, and ! more than compensated for by the I reduction to a sober and substantial basis the manner of conducting busi ness affairs.

Oh! what a rarity Is newspaper charity. —Chattooga county has produced wheat three foet high, and it lias sev eral months to grow- 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.

We have now to settle something which, in t lie degree of interest it awakens, is not inferior to any thing ever agitated on the American Continent: Are we to be a Republic or an Empire? Disguise it as we will, that is the problem. Giantism is Ciesarism. It is nothing less. We arc called upon to say whether we will pass from the era of Cicero to that Augustus fromaeoun try ruled by the ballot to one under the subjection of the bayonet. If this is to be the upshot of all tile sacrifices inode for American liberty, then it would have been far better if they had never been given. Better that We should have remained in political connection with the mother country of Great Britain, and shared the free dom which she enjoys there, than to hand over our destinies to a military usurper, who would lie the parent of a long line of such of whom we read in the “Decline and Fail of the Ito | man Empire.” There is danger of I this great and imminent danger.
