OUR DEMoCRArIc ALLIANCE. - Does
not the radical party in South Carroll
ma derive aid and comfort and conf
dcnco from its connection with the
general radical party2 1t certainly
does. And wo take it that it is not
tho less true that the anti-radicalists
Of South Carolina would derive no
littlc advantage from finding them
selves in accord with body of men
North, South, East, and West, having
common purpose and q common
banner. Hence it is that, in our opin-
ion, our democratic alliance" to
which wo have before referred, is not
suggestion to bc contelnptuously
thrust aside. That "third party"
movement is very far from being n
success. The elements that 20 to
compose it, nro yet floating in empty
space. And who knows but that they
may yet quietly enter tho Democratic
mass, enlarging, and strengthening,
and vitalizing it--lcavening the lump
if you please. Who knows but that
tho New York HercAl may not be
right agacious when it suggests
that all opposition to raRica1ism must
concentrate IN thc Democ"atic o,yan,zu-
ton, on else be .trlicrcd auuy. Our
hope is, that the Democratic party
will wisely adjust itself to tho circum.
stances around it, md be party for
tho country, and the whole country.
Our hopo is, that it may step out to
rescue the land from The reckless rule
OF the reigning power. If it shall
come up to tho measure of its duties
and responsibilities, who can say but
that the namo Of Democrat may not
yet be pleasant one in the cars of

happiness that it seer ed existence culminat-

ourselves. Maybe we could not feel SO to-
day; perhaps we are wiser, yes, even better,
in that we cannot; but, oh. the days marked
with white stone! is there anything like
them?
But up came the Hbbess, stern as fate.
1t was. growing dark discipline must be
preserved. She gathered her unwilling
flock to go, and nobody could gainsay her; !;
she would have mounted the highest pedes-
tai of her dignity at the bare idea.
1.-THE laws of the Medes and Persians, you
know, dear Miss Raleigh" said she-the
remark she made on all possible occasions;
and Miss Raleigh felt that she would have
liked to pull her hair down. So Dolores
had to come back to earth ngain, but his
voice was last in her ear-his hand the last
to touch hers. Dolores was content.
1t did not matter that when the excite
ment wore off she was unable to stand-that
all night she lay sleepless on her bed She
was happy.
She went through the duties of the next
days; she could endure them because she
was looking forward-to what she did not
know But they were almost over; she felt
that her life was to tend suddenly far away
from that beaten path.
The Abbess received an invitation for her
self and Dolores to dine at the Raleigh
mansion. She had no mind to refuse; she
was feeling more plainly every day that
Dolores was out of place, and she hoped
that Miss Raleigh's fancy would continue
that she would take her away to be COM
panion, or find her more congenial duties.
Dolores had been so unwell for two days
that she was forced to lie on her bed except
during the class hours; but nobody knew it.
Indeed, she could not have said that she was
ill; she suffered no pain, only she was utter
ly without strength; and when her heart
would begin to whirl at some new rush of
thought, she coughed q little sharp cough,
which prostrated her completely
But when the time to dress came, she was
able to rise, and anticipation and excitement
gave her that false strength which most peo-
pie have felt in some mental crisis, the re-
action from which, when the necessity for
action is over or the pleasure at an end, is
worth more than month of ordinary i'll

Our Rivals I'm the East-The Cotton Pro-
duction OF India.

Two very interesting papers relative to
the course of cotton production and export
from the Central Provinces of India and
the Berars, during the year ls67-'6S. and q
portion Of the year 1869, have recently
been forwarded from the United States
Consulate at Bombay to the New York
Journal Of Commerce. The first is COM
plete report of the cotton department for
the former year, and the second is letter
from the commissioner, q. Brett -Carnac,
ESQ, dated June 1S, 1869, to the Bombay
Chamber of Commerce, bringing up the
statistics Of the subject, as near as possible,
to the latter date, being the close of the
season The information contained in these
reports throws much light on the gene
raj subject Of the production Of cotton in
the East, though the area to which they
refer is only comparatively small portion
Of the great Indian cotton field. Thus the
combined production Of the Central Prov
inces and the Berars is here stated at
$50, 900 bales Bombay bale of 1874 pounds
net cotton while t he entire product Of the
cotton growing districts is given at l, ,400,-
600 bales OF this amount Bombay absorbed
the great bulk, 1,025, 900 bales, which
came from the Bersrs, the Central Prov
inces, Khandesh, Guserat, Dhollers, Clutch,
the Deccsn and NiEam's Country, Dharwar,
SC, Calcutta receiving only $50 600 bales,
Madras l70, 900, Kurrschee 10000, and the
remainder reaching the coast at Burmese
ports
In the letter of Commissioner Carnac
much stress is laid upon the improvements
taking place in the methods of pressing
and handling the staple, and in the means
Of telegrsphic and mail communication
with the cotton districts-improvements
which, it is to be presumed, are not con-
fined to the particular districts under con
sideration, but are doubles. common to
the other parts Of India The government

The Fate OF the University.

Inquiries reach Us from all sides as
what is to become Of the State Uni
vesity under the management Of the
Radical crew who now control its character
and, destinies. Some surprise, indeed, has
been expressed that any of the members Of
the old faculty should have found it con-
sistent with their tastes and feelings to
still remain connected with the institution
But from trustworthy information that We
have obtained in regard to the circum-
stances which embarrassed their action,
we are satisfied that their course has been
eminently honorable, judicions and patri-
otic. Having received their appointments
at the hands of the old board Of trustees,
the professors deemed themselves in honor
bound to instruct the students, who had
come in October last, to the end Of the term.
These students had entered the institution
with view Of going through the year, and
could not we'll, for the rest Of tho term, GO
elsewhere. This wss especially true Of
those who expected to take degrees and
enter upon the practice Of their profes-
sions. Moreover, it was urged By many that
the resignation of the professors would, prac-
tically, break up the University; that they
were not justified in assuming the response
bility Of consummating SO deplOrable re
suit; and that If the institution was
fated, it should rest with the people Of
the State to pronounce its doom. Impressed
with these views, some Of the professors, as
We learn, merely remain nov, awaiting
the action Of our people-of the parents Of
the young men who would have aOeked to
should tat scti0H Be- sdTsFss 10 support
ing the institution, they will at once resign.
Thus the people Of the State will them
selves have to determine TIE future Of the
University, by either sending or withhold
ing their sons. II they be withheld, the
question arises, what will be the action Of
the board of trustees! They declare, We
understand, that they care nothing for
their positions. Will they, then, n,-grsoefuily
admit their signsl failure, and resign; or
will they madly cling to an empty honor,
and thereby completely and finally crush
the first educational Institution in the
State!
