The National Democracy.

We do not intend to be misunder-
stood nor misrepresented in our con-
gratulations over the National Demo-
cratic victories, and our endorsement
of the principles and policy upon
which they were won. We did not
say-have not said-and do not in
tend to say, that they can effect the
action of the present Congress in the
matter of Reconstruction On the
contrary, we have conjectured that in
the very losses which the Radicals
have sustained at the North, will be
found their most potent reason for
consummating reconstruction in the
South, in the speediest possible man
ner, under Radical influences.
We have said, and we repeat, be-
cause the lessons of the past are too
fresh in our memory to be forg often,
that the Democracy of the North
mean well and vote WELL" but they
have no idea of enlisting in any sec
tional war for the benefit of the South.
Rather than that, they will furnish
men and money on the other side, and
submit to the most despotic admins
tratlon of their government, in order
to prosecute a successful war. With
in the past few days, we have copied
an article from a leading Northern
Democratic journal declaring that if
Mr. johnson should become involved
in contest with Congress, it must be
distinctly understood that it is GA.
Johnson's fight-not the Democra-
cy's."
SO we have said, and we repeat our
opinion, that the Northern Democracy
cannot, by any victory they have won.
prevent reconstruction under the aus
pices of the present Radical Congress.
Believing this,we were anxious to de
gree which we have not language to eX-
press, that it should have been disarm-
ed oft dangers and evils as far as pos
sible, by being placed in the hands of
conservative, reliable men, such as were
nominated for the Convention by the
Conservatives in Attala, Kinds, Car
roll, Marshall and other Counties
We beliece that time wiU amply establish
the aoiSdOna Of oar course.
But we can find no reason to reject
the sound principles and the conserva-
tive doctrines upon all the great ques
tions of governmental policy, held by
the Northern Democracy, BECAUSE they
| have no power to prevent the accom-
plishment of its purposes by the pres
ent Radical Congress. If the South
is forced into the Union under Radi-
cal organizations, with one half of her
white citizens DISTINGUISHED even
though it be owing to their mistaken
policy in refusing to adapt themselves
to circumstances they could not con-
troll, the small minority that remains

to exercise the privilege of suffrage,
will from the very instinct of self-pre-
servation, cling the more closely to
the National Democracy, as their only
hope ofrescue from the storms of per-
secution and prescription.
We reiterate, therefore, that if the
people of this section, believe that in
the principles of the National Democ-
cy as enunciated in their recent cleo
tions, there is ultimate safety for the
country from anarchy and misrule, and
especially for the oppressed and down
trodden South, let us take them up,

The Department of Agriculture.

The report of the Department of
Agriculture for October, says that the
wheat crop of the country will exceed
any harvest hitherto known. The
amount is placed at from 220, 100000
to 225, 900, 900 bushels. The quality
of the wheat is greatly superior to that
of last year. 1t is almost universally
sound and dry, but in many localities
there may be found from a third to a
half deficiency in weight, lacking in
plumpness or slightly shrivelled, and
passing as No. 2, being less than fifty
eight pounds to the bushel. There is
also greater tendency to cleanliness
and care in preparing the grain for
market.
Oats-The aggregate will exceed $50, ,OOO,-
QUO bushels, about three per cent. above last
year.
Rye-The estimate of all States, excepting
those on the Pacific, is 81 100000 bushels
increase six per cent.
Barley is deficient about a half million
bushels, or four per cent.
Beans and peas are more than an average
crop.
Corn-The quality is uniformly good
The value of the entire crop, after deduct
ing the deficiency OF the Ohio valley and
allowing for the increase in almost all other
States, will be greater than that of last
year.
Sorghum-Greatly declined, and despond-
ency is evident III the feelings of many
growers
Buckwheat-Hardly equal to last year.
Potatoes-The crop is poor.
Sugar-20 per cent. greater than the small
crop of last year.
Cotton-About two and half million
bales of 500 pounds each.
III all the statistics in this report are
to be judged by the statement in refer
ence to cotton, the Department of
Agriculture is a humbug. Its sources
of information are utterly worthless.
How any officials pretending to col
lect and publish statistics for the ben
eft of the country, could have reached
the conclusion that the cotton crop of
the present year would amount to two
and half millions, we are at loss to
imagine. The statement is made
SlCHtI III IL uOIdHCe, OF III kndNery' IL
IN ignorance, it is because its authors
would not hear the reports that have
gone out from every portion of the
cotton growing region; nor would
read the facts which have been
published broadcast over the land for
the past four months. They all con-
cur that the crop of this season will
fall considerably below that of last
year, which amounted to little over
one million seven hundred thousand
bales. And this opinion is fully JUS
titled by actual results so far The
falling off in receipts at the various
ports Of the United States the present
year as compared with those of 1866
at the corresponding period, is fully
one half.

The RIGHTS OF BANKRUPTs-We e
publish this morning the most i'm
portant decision yet rendered under
the bankrupt law of Congress.
In the case we now publish, the
counsel opposing the bankrupt asked
questions about some money that
came into his hands after the petition
had been filed. The bankrupt's coun-
sci objected that creditors have moth
ing whatever to do with property
that may come into hankrupt's S
hands after the date Of filing Of the pc
tition. The opposite side claimed that
only such property as might be ac-
quired after the adjudication Of bank
ruptcy was thus freed from creditor S
claims. Constituting the statute by its
wording, the United States Judge sup
ported the position taken by the
counsel for the bankrupt, thus fixing
the point of the discharge Of the
bankrupt at the date of filing the pc
tition- If, after that period, property
should fall to the debtor, making him
a millionaire, still only what he owed
before the filing of the petition would
be accessible to the creditors.

The Outside Southern states to be
Hurried up.

From all the signs of the times in
the North the radicals will need the
support of the ten outside Southern
States in the Presidential election, and
it is altogether probable, therefore,
that under the present system Of re-
construction, they will be hurried
through the mill, and reinstated in
Congress, in season to vote for Presi-
dent next November. The late South
ern elections make this the safe policy
it is thought tor the radicals, and they
begin to see that further delays may
be dangerously. Y. Herald.
On the other had, National Intelli-
gencer says:
The effect of the elections upon the
the Radical majority in Congress is
already manifested by the faltering and
foundering off their rank and file
The leaders cannot bring up th cir men
to face impeachment, nor the Sumner
Stevens project for imposing negro
suffrage upon all the States alike
These two Radical issues are dead,
and the party will be buried with
them.
